Shen Shu didn't expect Yue Donghai to say such a thing.

Indeed, more than a month on the island was enough for her to understand the way of life of the Yue family. Their life is too monotonous, with the boat as the carrier, supporting their whole life, not just a simple sunrise and sunset, they go to sea, if it is close, it will take about two or three days to come back, and if it is far, it may take about a week, this is under the premise of Shun lì, if there is any wind and waves, it will delay the trip, and if it is strict, it may have to lose its life.

That's really what God eats, every day.

She thought that Yue Donghai just wanted to make money by herself, and she was ready to let him try it by himself, anyway, the cost was not expensive, and the market was vast, so it was impossible to lose money. I didn't expect him to think so far, not only for himself, but also for the rest of the island. Shen Shu felt that for him, these people were not just neighbors who shared the same surname with him, he should regard them all as relatives, and other people should be the same.

This is probably the meaning of the clan, and this is difficult for Shen Shu, who lives in the modern era where human feelings are becoming more and more indifferent, to understand.

And after he reminded him like this, Shen Shu also felt that it was time to fulfill another promise to the old patriarch - to help the people here live a better life. She has always remembered the promise she made in person, but for more than a month, she has been busy settling down, building houses and schools, going on a business trip, building a new summer house, and then digging cellars.

"If it's just you, you don't need to build anything, you can do it if you want to, but when it comes to the interests of the collective, you need to consider it carefully, and it involves the interests of all the Yue family, this is not something you and I can decide, this matter should be told to the old patriarch first, if he supports it, and then he will gather everyone and ask for everyone's opinions." ”

Shen Shu briefly analyzed with Yue Donghai, who nodded and said that he understood.

The afternoon passed quickly in the noise of the crowd, during which Shen Shu distributed another real yàn material, that is, saltpeter and sugar water. When she finally announced the end of class, almost everyone looked reluctant.

This reminded Shen Shu of her student days, although her grades have always been excellent, but she is actually not a good student in the eyes of the teacher, whenever she encounters something she is interested in, she must try her best to study it thoroughly, which means that she is basically in a state of skipping class, even if she is in the classroom, she is basically in a daze thinking about other things, when the teacher announces the end of class, her happiness is almost always greater than reluctance, with few exceptions.

Seeing the people sitting in the classroom who were reluctant to leave, Shen Shu was a little amused, and promised that the class would continue tomorrow, so they turned around and left.

When everyone was finished, seeing the messy appearance of the room, Shen Shu suddenly showed an annoyed expression, she forgot the day of the arrangement, when will she receive so many things!

Shen Shu covered her face in pain, and when she opened her eyes after a while, she saw a person walking in at the door, it was Yue Donghai, she was stunned and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Yue Donghai replied, "Originally, I was leaving, but I suddenly thought that you let them all go, leaving so many things behind and no one to clean up, so I turned back." In fact, this is a half-truth, he is indeed because he thought that it would be difficult for her to clean up alone, but he didn't walk back, but he didn't leave at all.

As he spoke, he went to the corner and took a basket and began to clean up from the outermost circle of tables.

Shen Shu said thank you sincerely, and then cleaned up with him. At the beginning, Yue Donghai's movements were a little clumsy, but he quickly got used to it, and the speed became fast, often Shen Shu only cleaned up one seat, and he swept two seats, not only fast but also not panting, Shen Shu could only silently envy the good body of others, and once again made up his mind that it was time to exercise.

Just now, she was still wailing that she didn't know when she would be able to finish the things, but with the help of Yue Donghai, she quickly packed them up, and the total amount of equipment was almost 100 percent, and the three baskets were full of three baskets. Before Shen Shu could speak, he saw Yue Donghai lift a basket and walk out of the door.

"Where are you going?" asked Shen Shu.

"Take it to the well. Yue Donghai walked back as he walked.

Shen Shu was a little surprised that he had thought so thoroughly, knowing that he had to not only collect things but also wash them. She stood by the door and watched him walk towards the well shared in the village.

Soon Yue Donghai returned, carrying a second basket, and then a third. In the end, Shen Shu also followed.

There was no one at the edge of the well at this time, so Yue Donghai carried the basket and put it down, took the bucket and threw it into the well to draw water, and poured it into the wooden basin on the side.

Shen Shu hesitated, sat down on the stone slab next to him, and reached out to clean it. And after Yue Donghai fetched two buckets of water, he also squatted down/leaned in to wash with Shen Shu.

Seeing the young man lowering his head and cleaning the equipment seriously, Shen Shu was stunned for a while. If she was just surprised, she was shocked now.

Do you want to be so considerate?!

And she quickly thought that this was not the first time, it seemed that the boy in front of her had always been like this since she met.

Shen Shu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The two of them quickly cleaned and put everything away, and then moved them back one by one from Yue Donghai and put them in the corner of the classroom where things were specially separated. After that, Yue Donghai invited Shen Shu to go to the old patriarch's house together.

Shen Shu knew that he was talking about it in the afternoon, and after nodding his head, he turned over and went to the classroom to get a set of practical equipment and two materials, and then left with him. Of course, there is an element that she does not have much hope for the imagination of the old man, and there is also a reason that some things are not as good as the reality that they can see.

When he arrived at the old patriarch, after a brief greeting, Yue Donghai directly explained his intentions, and Shen Shu cooperated to make the finished product. When she made the thing and handed it to the old man, the old man did not hide his surprise in his eyes, took it and looked at it for a long time, before trying to bring it to his mouth and taste it, and then was silent for a long time before nodding solemnly.

That's what I think is possible.

Shen Shu began to analyze the costs of manufacturing and transportation with the two of them, and then asked, "What is your positioning of the product, high-end or popular?"

The two people who were asked thought for a while, and the old patriarch asked first, "How expensive is it, and how much is cheap?"

Shen Shu continued to analyze him, "You also know that the coastal area is located in the south, and the temperature remains high all year round, I inquired by the way when I went to the shore before, even the average big family can't afford an ice cellar, and if you want to eat something cool, you can only eat it by throwing it into the well, but I estimate that the effect is not very ideal." In this way, ice is not a good place to sell here. ”

"If the cost of a popsicle is a penny, if you want to sell it cheaply, you can double or triple on this basis, that is, two pennies and three pennies, such a price ordinary people can afford, but if you want to make money, you must have a lot of sales. And if you want to sell it more expensively, you can multiply it tenfold, twenty times or even more, and a popsicle costs dozens of dollars, such a price is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and can only be sold to people with a little bit of wealth. There are indeed many wealthy families along the coast, but after all, they are limited, and the number that can be sold will not be many. ”

"Don't think that no one will buy anything that costs one or two cents dozens of times, for now, this thing is monopolized by us, and only we can take it, so the price is completely set by us. ”

Of course, there are not only these two options, you can also take the mid-range route, the golden mean, which is neither cheap nor expensive, ordinary people can grit their teeth and eat it every few days, and it has no impact on the average rich family. ”

"Think about it, how you're going to set the price. ”

After listening to Shen Shu's words, the old patriarch and Yue Donghai could be called dumbfounded. However, Yue Donghai is relatively better, after all, he knows Shen Shu a little bit.

The shock in the old patriarch's heart calmed down for a long time, and the eyes that had become cloudy due to old age stared at Shen Shu for a long time before he returned to a half-closed state, his fingers lightly tapped the tabletop, making a regular subtle sound, "Like you said, this is a matter that concerns everyone's interests, and their opinions should be consulted on what to do." I'm old, I can't manage a few years, how to live my life in the future, they still have to decide for themselves......"

"Donghae, wait a minute, you will go door to door to inform them, gather in the middle of the village early tomorrow morning, and put down everything first. ”
