Chapter 42: Zhang Yaohua's Plans
The four of them worked until it was dark.
Dig half as many sweet potatoes as in the morning.
After returning home, Shui Wang and Ah Hui were pulled by Zhang's mother, and they were bound to let them eat at home.
The snake, Zhang's father had already dealt with it, picked off the snake's skin, cleaned the contents of the stomach, cut it into sections, and marinated it slightly.
In addition, one of the chickens in the family could not escape the fate of being slaughtered.
Raise chickens for 100 days, use chickens for a while!
"Auntie, let's go home and take a shower, and come back later." Ah Hui said.
"Remember to come over in a moment, do you hear? Ah Hui, bring Yong Tsai over. ”
Zhang's mother then let the two brothers go home to take a shower.
"Go and call your grandfather to come over for dinner." Zhang's mother instructed Zhang Yuanhang.
Zhang Yuanhang was happy to do this kind of work and ran towards his uncle's house.
In addition to the dragon and phoenix pot, Zhang's father also got some roast pork back. As for seafood, it is certainly indispensable. More than an hour ago, he went to the village dock and bought some fresh goods from other villagers.
"What greens to eat?" Zhang Yaohua asked.
Whether the meat is meat or not, he doesn't care, it's really uncomfortable without vegetables. Recently, the greens eaten at home are very simple, and almost all of them are mustard greens.
Zhang's mother knew the appetite of her eldest son.
"Choy sum."
Well! That's not bad. It's finally a change of taste.
When the two Shui Wang brothers returned home, their parents were already eating.
This means that they didn't leave food for them!
For the two sons to help Zhang Yaohua's family work, the two of them are supportive. Ah Hua took their family to make money, what happened to helping with some work?
"Haven't eaten yet? Let's wash the dishes and fill the rice! Their mother said.
The corners of Shui Wang's mouth twitched, and he said secretly: Come on! Judging by the amount of the meal, I didn't expect the two brothers.
"Yong Zai has eaten? Aunt Zhang also asked her eldest brother to take him over to eat! ”
"It's good for you to go, Yongzi is full."
For Yongzai, the eldest grandson, the two still care very much.
……
"The roast pork is still not deductible and the meat is delicious." Zhang Yaowei said.
"I have to eat and I can't stop your mouth? Shui Wang, Ah Hui, you eat more, there are no dishes! Zhang's mother first glared at her son, and then greeted Shui Wang and Ah Hui.
"Auntie, we won't be polite, don't worry about our brother."
Almost all the countrymen are like this, obviously there is a big table of dishes, and they still say that there are no dishes.
The old man agreed with Zhang Yaowei's words: "Hmm! It's not as delicious as the buckle meat that Ah Jiu brought last time. ”
When I'm older, I like to eat something soft.
Whether it is braised pork or button pork, it is very in line with the taste of the old man.
Zhang Yaohua also bowed: "The buckle meat made in Guangxi is really good." ”
Not to mention Liangguang, many people in South China like to eat button meat.
Plum cabbage button meat, taro button meat, etc., you will not get tired of eating.
You have to be able to get it, otherwise the buckle meat will be as unpalatable as the white meat. In the past two or three years, Zhang Yaohua's brother-in-law Ah Jiu has made meat for them, and he has also raised the family's mouth.
"By the way, how are Ah Jiu and them lately?"
"What else can you do when you chop sugar cane?" Mom said.
Shui Wang: "It's very hard to cut sugar cane, I went to work with Ah Wei for a few days last year. ”
"The kind of person who is the little sister, the miser came, but he didn't want to hire someone, he did it himself, can he not work hard?" Zhang Yaowei complained.
He knew that his brother-in-law Ah Jiu originally wanted to ask someone to help cut it, and his salary was about 150 a day, but his little sister was reluctant to get that money.
In fact, since the younger sister got married, he went to help cut sugar cane almost every year, and got a bundle to eat at home by the way.
Therefore, he is well informed.
The sugarcane that is cut now is basically sold to middlemen, so that middlemen have a little more profit.
But there is nothing to do, knowing that others make the difference, you still have to sell to others.
Two people cut sugarcane, a day at most more than a ton, and ask a large transport truck to pull the sugarcane to the sugar factory, at least more than ten tons to cut, you cut four or five tons, the big truck is not willing to help you pull to the sugar factory.
This means that two people have to cut sugar cane for about ten days in a row to be able to make a large truckload.
If you want to cut enough more than 10 tons of sugarcane, the sugarcane cut in front of you is about to turn into dry firewood, and the weight has shrunk a lot, and a large cart of sugarcane has to ask someone to help load the truck.
All things considered, many cane farmers now choose to sell to buyers.
After all, the buyer has no requirements for the purchase volume, and he also collects a few hundred catties, and sells as much as he cuts to the buyer every day.
Buyers make dozens of dollars per ton.
Some people will say that middlemen have a good conscience! A thousand tons only earn tens of thousands of dollars.
But if you understand that a ton of sugarcane is only four or five hundred yuan, I'm afraid you won't think so. Sugarcane farmers grow 100 tons of sugarcane, and their income is only 40,000 or 50,000 yuan.
And that's not even before the cost!
"You think it's you? Ah Jiu's family relied on those sugarcanes to support their families, and they could save as much as they could. If you hire one person, you will be paid 150 yuan a day. ”
Originally, she wanted Ah Wei to help this year, after all, the girl was also pregnant.
But the family's purchase of a fishing boat disrupted her plans.
Now that Zhang Yaohua's brothers go to sea for a day, they can earn tens of thousands of yuan, how can they waste time to help cut sugarcane? Therefore, she asked her daughter to pay for someone to cut it this year, and stop doing it herself.
"The eldest brother is going to call Ah Jiu to go to sea together." Zhang Yaowei said.
Except for Ah Zhen, who knew the news, Father Zhang and the others all looked at Zhang Yaohua.
Zhang Yaohua nodded: "Let's go through a while!" ”
He had this intention.
At present, the most important thing is to make money, change to a medium-sized fishing boat, at least the kind that can run to the open sea. When the time comes, the two brothers will definitely not be able to do it.
The old mother frowned: "How much salary do you pay Ah Jiu?" ”
She thought that Zhang Yaohua was calling Ah Jiu to be a helper.
To be honest, asking relatives and friends to work is the most troublesome. The salary is small, and people are embarrassed: how can I help you with such a small amount of money? And the salary is too much, and it is difficult for me.
No matter how close the relationship is, it is easy to have conflicts because of wages.
"It's not a payroll." Zhang Yaohua corrected.
"Don't pay your wages?" Dad frowned too.
Zhang Yaohua had no choice but to say what he thought.
"There are few resources near the sea, and if you want to make a fortune, you still have to go to the far sea. Then, we need a bigger boat, and my second brother and I can't handle it.
I think that when the time comes, I will make a big deal, and my second brother, Ah Jiu, Ah Hui and Shui Wang will also contribute some money, participate in the shares, and buy a medium-sized fishing boat to go to sea in a joint venture.
Earnings and profits are divided according to the amount of capital contribution. ”
The two brothers, Ah Hui and Shui Wang, glanced at each other and immediately agreed: "Let's join." ”
They are not stupid, they understand that Zhang Yaohua is taking them to play. In fact, they guessed that Zhang Yaohua would become bigger and stronger in the future, and they were worried that they would not be able to hold their thighs by then.
I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"What about the current ship? Just sell it? ”
How many times have you used it when you bought it? Especially Shuiwang's ship, they also paid for repairs.
"Yes! Otherwise, I wouldn't have suggested buying a second-hand boat in the first place. Zhang Yaohua said as a matter of course.
