Although "Old Saury"'s wife is too ill to do heavy work, but if she hadn't been so ill, she would have been a good woman who could live a good life. Take the stove as an example. After making a fire and cooking all her life, she was able to cook several delicious dishes.
Except for the twenty eggs laid by the family’s chickens, two stir-fried vegetables, a killed chicken and stewed mushrooms, the rest of the dishes for today’s dinner are all seafood brought back by the "sea bumpers" . Every fisherman’s wife knows how to play with seafood, and the wife of “Old Saury” is almost ready to make these things.
What about steamed scallops, steamed abalone, saltwater oysters, saltwater conch, braised red yellow croaker, braised mackerel, stir-fried snail meat with green leeks, stir-fried octopus with red pepper, fresh jellyfish mixed with old vinegar, and shredded kelp mixed with cucumber? ……
Various dishes were served one by one by "Xiaobaizi" and "Seagouzi", and the tempting aroma penetrated directly into the nose. Since there was no space on the table, the plates had to be placed in piles. Although it is a home-cooked dish, it cannot be compared with the "Seafood Restaurant", but it is still steaming hot, pleasing to the eye, and makes everyone's food craving for food.
Seeing that the food was almost done, "Lao Dayu" went to get four bottles of white wine, two bottles were the 60-proof "Bincheng Shaojiu" from his family collection, and the other two bottles were borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, and he got Hong Yanwu Xiaojing His "Zhuanghe Laojiao".
When everyone's glasses were filled with wine, "Xiaobaizi" and "Seagouzi" also came back and sat down. At this time, all the "sea bumpers" were gathered at the dinner table.
When I heard a message from "Xiao Baizi", I said that the aunt was making pancakes in a big pot, and she would make the last dish later, so no one's help was needed anymore, so everyone should eat first. The greedy "flying crab" impatiently picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
With his quick hands and no politeness, this guy picked up a chicken thigh with just one chopstick. But as soon as he stuffed it into his mouth, he was glared hard by the "general". He bit the chicken leg and turned around to take a look, only to find that no one moved.
Before the sumptuous luncheon began, the "general" naturally had to say a few words, and everyone was waiting for the "general" to speak. This made "Flying Crab" so embarrassed that he put down his chopsticks first and touched the back of his head with a smile.
No one expected that when the "general" raised his glass, his first initiative was to call on everyone to come together and toast Hong Yanwu with a glass of wine.
The "general" said that such a big harvest this time was all due to Hong Yanwu's idea. He also said that the position of leader is occupied by those who are capable. He is completely convinced. From now on, everyone must fully trust and obey Hong Yanwu and stop fighting for face.
Logically speaking, this is correct. Hong Yanwu's abilities and achievements are all obvious. In addition, everyone has become familiar with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, and we have always treated them like one of our own.
But after all, most people are emotional first and talk about distance and distance. Their relationship with Hong Yanwu is still shallow. When it comes to loyalty, many "Hai Pengzi" still only admire the "general", and naturally they are not willing to let the "general" elevate Hong Yanwu higher than himself. So when I heard this, I felt a bit harsh.
Especially for people like "Flying Crab" and "Sea Hare" who have straight tempers and show every emotion on their faces. Although they also raised their cups, they looked quite awkward.
Of course Hong Yanwu knew the psychology of the individuals present, and he also knew that this was because they had not gotten along well enough yet.
But he is about to enter the city. When he sells the things, he will get money, and it will also affect his next plan. As the saying goes, brothers must settle accounts clearly, so some things should be explained clearly first. Otherwise, there will be internal quarrels, which will definitely delay the big event.
In fact, the "General" was able to make this statement before dinner today because he had a long talk with him last night and took the initiative to cooperate with him in singing on the stage.
So he just raised his glass and said a few words of humility, saying that everyone had contributed equally, and drank the wine happily. And then, fearing that it would be difficult to talk about business once he started drinking, he started to get down to business and talked to everyone about the issue of profit distribution and his next plan.
Hong Yanwu means three things in total.
First, from now on, all of our marine products will be sold and sold uniformly by him. There will no longer be a situation where anyone can pick up and sell the goods in the past. For him, he will create an account book and indicate the quantity of goods purchased and shipped and the transaction price for everyone to check.
Secondly, most of the proceeds from the sale of sea products will go into the public account, and he will use it to hoard and speculate on sea cucumbers to gain more benefits for everyone.
However, everyone needs to eat and drink, and we will not let everyone live a hard life. Every time the seafood is sold, part of it will be distributed. According to the originally agreed upon four-to-six distribution ratio, the "general" group can get four hundred yuan each time. Five get a full share of 60 yuan, and three get a half share of 30 yuan. He, Chen Liquan, "Lao Saury" and "Xiao Baizi" each received 66 yuan. All remaining profits must be accumulated first and then paid off in one lump sum at the end.
Thirdly, he also gave everyone an opportunity to make some extra money. He decided to charge 240 cents for fifty sea cucumbers and 40 cents for 30 sea cucumbers. You can charge as much as you want. You can go to a familiar "Hai Pengzi" to buy inventory and earn the price difference from them.
As it relates to economic gains and losses, everyone listened very carefully to these words. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone on the "general" side fell into silence. Obviously, they are worried.
First of all, considering human nature, how can you feel happy about money in your own hands? Although this "salary" is more than what they earned every time they touched the sea in the past. But it's clear that you can get more money, but it would be painful enough if you have to keep it in the public account.
Secondly, although many people have heard from both "Lao Daoyu" and "Xiao Baizi" about the price Hong Yanwu sells sea cucumbers for, they are still dubious because that number is so far from their understanding.
In addition, even if this is true, their production has increased now. They can produce two hundred kilograms of sea cucumbers at one time, which is simply huge. Moreover, judging from what Hong Yanwu meant, he would have to collect and stockpile them, so the sea cucumbers that would be sold in the future would be hundreds or even thousands of kilograms.
This situation is a bit too much. They didn't believe that such a large amount of sea cucumbers could still be sold. Instead, they worry that they will lose their money in the end.
Therefore, no one dares to put such great trust and confidence in Hong Yanwu easily. For a time, it was inevitable that the atmosphere would become tense.
However, the "general" looked a little anxious when he looked at these brothers, because he had a deep talk with Hong Yanwu last night and had already been completely impressed by Hong Yanwu's ambition and strategy. He believed that as long as he followed Hong Yanwu, the future benefits would definitely exceed everyone's imagination. So when he was excited, he couldn't help but urge.
"What's the matter? You're all mute. If you don't believe me, don't you believe me? If you are my brother, just agree to it quickly!"
The words of "General" were a bit overwhelming. Seeing that the faces of the "Hai Bangzi" were even more conflicted, Hong Yanwu was afraid that the "General" might do bad things with good intentions, so he couldn't help but explain quickly.
He claimed that if anyone was unwilling, there was a way. That is to separate fishing and speculation, and buy sea cucumbers according to the price just mentioned each time, which is considered as the public account first in proportion to everyone's sea cucumbers. Then, those who are willing to follow and participate in speculation will receive a "salary" of fifty yuan. If you don’t want to participate, just take all the cash. But in this case, the person who takes all the cash will not get a share of the total dividends in the future.
After hearing this, everyone's expressions softened. Everyone thought this mode of choice was good, so many people started whispering and discussing what to do.
