In Dongshan Village, Wednesday Shao solemnly entrusted Yu Hai to help with the acquisition. Of course, he won't let Yu Hai do day labor, Zhenyulou will give a profit of 10% of the purchase price to be his reward. Of course, there is more than one fishing village in Dongshan Village nearby, and other fishing villages have also selected the responsible personnel.

Seafood such as oysters and sausages are so common in coastal areas that few people buy them. Even if you encounter an occasional acquisition, it is difficult for the price to go up. However, the purchase price given by Zhenyulou is higher than that on the market: ten yuan a pound of oysters, and twenty yuan a pound of sea intestines.

Although the price of sea intestines is much lower than when Tong Ren Tang bought it, the purchase of pharmacies is only temporary, while Zhen Yulou is purchased all year round.

After this news came out, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit the Yu family's old house, and they all came to inquire about the purchase of oysters and sea intestines and prices. After Yu Hai got reliable news, the villagers of Dongshan Village, young and old, all went out one after another. Those who dig sea intestines dig sea intestines, and those who pick up sea oysters pick up sea oysters.

The sea is a selfless gift to people, and when the tide is low, people flock to the beach and come back at high tide. Even if the tide is low at night, there will be people carrying lanterns and fighting all night.

As long as you are willing to work, you will definitely reap the rewards. An adult can dig at least ten catties of sea intestines a day, and the old and weak women and children can also harvest several catties of oysters. In this way, every household in Dongshan Village, as long as someone is willing to contribute, it is absolutely no problem to have a few hundred wen a day.

Sea oysters and sea intestines have been purchased in a steady stream, and there are thousands of catties of seafood handled by Yu Hai alone. These seafood were transported to the workshop at the wharf, and the employees in the spice workshop were all slaves of the Zhou family who had signed a death contract. Whether it is oyster sauce or monosodium glutamate, the formula must be kept absolutely secret, and the core personnel must be servants who have served the Zhou family for several generations. Fifty people were carefully selected from among the domestic servants to enter the workshop, and in the face of the endless orders, the personnel were still a little nervous.

In particular, handling sandworms is very labor-intensive. As a result, Wednesday Shao set a new purchase rule, but the purchase price of processed oysters and sea sausages will be twice as high. Of course, seafood must be fresh.

What is the last thing the villagers lack? That's labor and time. The oysters are fine, but after removing the shells, they don't make much money. The weight of the sea intestines has not been reduced much after the sand has been removed, but the price is more expensive than pork, even if it takes more time, the villagers are willing.

For a moment, Yu Hai was almost too busy. Processed and untreated must be weighed and settled separately, and must also be served separately. In order to prevent the parents and villagers who came to sell seafood from harming their own homes, Yu Hai specially built a wooden shed on the west side of the courtyard wall to buy seafood. He couldn't be busy alone, so he asked Yu Hang to help. The father and son were so busy that they could barely cope with it.

Since Yu Hai knew that the seasoning workshop had a stake in his daughter, he was very strict about the purchase of seafood. Especially the treated sandworms, the sand is not cleaned up will not be collected; If the seafood is not fresh, it will not be harvested; If you deceive and add water to increase the weight, you will not be charged...... Although it also offended some people who wanted to take advantage, the reputation in the village was still good.

These days, no matter where he goes, Zhang's eyes are full of ears: how much money does anyone get a day by selling seafood; Whoever has less than ten days of his family has paid off the famine that he owes for several years; Who and whose family used to have enough food and clothing can now eat meat...... The old lady's heart began to float.

Of course, looking for the stubble on the side of the old house will not work. That Lord Qincha now lives in the old Zhao family's house, and eats three meals a day in the Yu family's old house. With such a big Buddha here, if she gave the Zhang family three more dares, she didn't dare to go over to find bad luck.

But in their family, the old father and son have to go to sea every day. So, she put her mind on Li and Yu Heizi. Yu Heizi runs diligently on the dock every day, and he doesn't bring back a penny, and the Zhang family has long had an opinion. If they are all as selfish as this grandson, where will the money come from for the dowry of the little girl? Where does the money come from for my youngest son's education?

She was reluctant to marry the little girl who was going to get married in the autumn, and went to the beach to experience the wind and sun, so she tossed Li and Yu Heizi and forced them to dig up sea intestines. The packed sea intestines cost forty wen a catty, and with the Li family, it should be no problem to get two or three hundred wen a day!

Yu Heizi is not an obedient master. Although he made money by digging sea intestines, he knew that he couldn't get any money he earned, so why bother with that effort? After nearly a month of exercise, Yu Heizi is no longer the obese and short fat he used to be. Although the skin is still dark, it is much stronger, and there is not so much fat on the body. Plus it's grown again, and people look very energetic.

In order to hide from his grandmother, Yu Heizi ran away before dawn every day. Zhang's couldn't catch the slippery sunspot like a loach, so he watched Li closely and escorted her to the beach almost every day. The lazy Li family, where is the person who works? She always didn't dig a few times, and she cried bitterly, crying so much that she had a handful of snot and tears.

Zhang is not a soft-hearted person. What's more, she herself is holding tools and digging sea intestines on the beach, how can she allow the Li family to be blind and lazy? Li saw that his mother-in-law had worked herself, and he couldn't find a reason to be lazy, so he resigned himself to digging for a while. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have no experience in digging sandworms, and Li is a lazy person who can be lazy and can't be counted on. At the end of the day, people can dig ten catties, and it would be good for them to dig two or three catties.

Zhang watched others harvest a lot, and when he returned home, he was unhappy and scolded and scolded, scolded Li for not being useful, scolded Lao Yu for not having the ability, and scolded Yu Dashan for not being able to control his daughter-in-law...... The entire Yu family was shrouded in the shadow of her anger.

Yu Dashan is sandwiched between his mother and daughter-in-law, and he is not good at words. In order to make his family a little more restless, after he returned from going to sea, he would take the initiative to dig sandworms with Zhang's every low tide.

There is a strange phenomenon in the Yu family, the more you do work, the less you get better, and in Zhang's eyes, all this is taken for granted. This was the case with Yu Hai in the past, and the same is true with Yu Dashan now. The more you do, the more you complain!

Li is not as hard-working as Liu, she sees that the hard-earned money she and her husband have earned back has fallen into her mother-in-law's pocket. If only the money could be spent on them! Now, the money obtained by fishing and catching up with the sea is at least a few hundred wen a day, and there are three or five taels of silver a month. What can be eaten is still black coarse grain cakes, and the vegetables are always boiled greens without oil and water.

It didn't take long for Lee to be unhappy. Seeing the man who had been subjected to a circle, he touched his tanned face again, and muttered to Yu Dashan behind his back: "Heizi and his father!" We worked so hard that we couldn't spend any of the money we earned. It's all on Nianghua Butterfly and Xiaobo! What are we drawing? ”

Yu Dashan lay on the kang with all his strength, squinting his eyes and looking like he was about to fall asleep, he honestly said in an urn voice: "You can't say that!" Isn't my little sister about to get married? The conditions of the brother-in-law's family are not bad, and if the dowry is too cold, the little sister will be angry if she marries. The third brother has to take the exam in the next two years, and he can't delay his studies......"

Li was so angry that he twisted his arm and said, "It's good for you, just thinking about your younger brothers and sisters, have you ever thought about our children?" Kuroko is fourteen years old this year, and it's time to look at others. But your mother didn't even mention it, and she still wanted the sunspot to hand over all the money she earned! You are an elder brother to make money to support your younger brothers and sisters, and you don't have to let your eldest nephew support them!! ”

Yu Dashan rubbed his painful arm, turned over, and said, "The sunspot is still young!" There's no rush to see each other next year. Besides, when Kuroko marries a daughter-in-law, the dowry is also in the public school. Don't worry about it. Go to sleep, I'm going to sea tomorrow morning! ”

Li is full of calculations, how can he sleep? She said dissatisfiedly: "You said that your brother has to study every day, so I won't say anything." Your sister has arms and legs, so why can't she be allowed to work? Your mother is about to give up your sister as if she were a young lady! When I come to my mother-in-law's house in the future, I won't know anything, and it's strange if I don't get beaten! ”

Yu Dashan was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, and said in a bad tone: "You don't know anything, who has beaten you?" ”

"You dare! I have a few buddies to support me. Over the years, my mother's family has not subsidized our family, just pointing to the food at home, it would be good if our mother didn't starve to death, and we could still eat fat? As soon as Li mentioned his mother's family, his waist also stiffened.

Yu Dashan glanced at the fat accumulated on her body, snorted, and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with being a little thinner!" Look at our sunspots, after losing weight, they look more and more like me, a bit of a gentleman! ”

Li touched his waist (where is the waist?) Do you have a waist? sighed and said, "Now it seems that it is not a bad thing for the second family to be separated." Look at people, small days. I heard that he collects seafood for the boss of Zhenyulou, and he can earn at least a few hundred wen a day! If our family is divided at that time......"

"Don't even think about it! Mother won't agree to let us divide it!! At that time, you didn't know the situation when the old two broke up. In fact, their family was kicked out as outcasts. The second child can survive it, it's really his fate...... He's a blessed one, too! ”

When Yu Dashan thought of this cheap brother who was only a few months younger than him, his feelings were very complicated. Yu Hai's ability sets him off very mediocre. Obviously, he has worked hard, but he will never be able to catch up with Yu Hai's footsteps.

When Yu Hai was injured and sentenced to death by the doctor, his mood was relaxed for a long time, thinking that the mountain that was pressing on his head could finally fall.
