Even though "Old Saury"'s wife is too ill to do any 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, she has been quite capable of making fires and cooking all her life.
Cook a few delicious dishes.
The dishes for today's dinner, except for twenty eggs laid by the family's chickens, two stir-fried vegetables, and a chicken that was killed and stewed with mushrooms, the rest are all seafood brought back by the "sea bumpers". They belong to the fishermen.
There is no wife who doesn’t know how to play with seafood. These things are almost made into “flowers” by the wife of “Old Saury”.
What about steamed scallops, steamed abalone, saltwater oysters, saltwater conch, red braised yellow croaker, braised mackerel, stir-fried snail meat with green leeks, stir-fried octopus with red pepper, fresh jellyfish mixed with old vinegar, cucumber salad with shredded kelp...
Various dishes were brought up one by one by "Xiaobaizi" and "Seagouzi", and the tempting fragrance 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 homely method,
It can't be compared with the "sea food restaurant", but it is still steaming, pleasing to the eye, and makes everyone's index fingers full.
"Old Saury" saw that the food was almost done, so he went to get four bottles of white wine, two bottles were the 60-proof "Bincheng Shaojiu" he had collected at home, and the other two bottles were borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, and he got them from Hong Yanwu as a filial piety to him.
Zhuanghe Laojiao".
After everyone's glasses were filled with wine, "Xiaobaizi" and "Haigouzi" also came back and took their seats. At this time, all the "Haibuzi" were even at the dinner table.
And when "Xiao Baizi" heard the message that the aunt was making pancakes in a big pot, and she would make the last dish later, no help was needed anymore, so everyone should eat first. The greedy "Flying Crab" couldn't wait to eat
I picked up the chopsticks and started moving.
This kid used his quick hands and was not polite. He picked up a chicken thigh with just one chopstick. But as soon as he stuffed it into his mouth, he was glared at by the "general". He bit the chicken thigh and turned around to look, and then he realized
No one moved.
Before the sumptuous luncheon started, the "general" naturally had to say a few words, and everyone was waiting for the "general" to speak. This made "Flying Crab" very embarrassed, so he had to put down his chopsticks first and touch 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 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 will be occupied by the capable. He is completely convinced, and everyone must fully trust and trust him in the future.
Obey Hong Yanwu and stop fighting for your reputation.
Logically speaking, this is correct. Hong Yanwu's abilities and achievements are all obvious. In addition, everyone is familiar with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, and they have always treated him like one of their own.
But after all, most people are emotional first. When it comes to closeness and distance, their relationship with Hong Yanwu is still shallow. When it comes to loyalty, many "Hai Bangzi" still only admire "generals", and naturally they are not willing to be "generals".
He elevated Hong Yanwu higher than himself. So hearing these words felt a bit harsh.
Especially people like "Flying Crab" and "Sea Hare" who have straight tempers and show every emotion on their faces. Although they raised their glasses, they looked quite awkward.
Of course Hong Yanwu was aware of the psychology of the individuals present, and he also knew that this was because they had not yet gotten along well enough.
But he is about to enter the city, and he will get money when he sells the things, and it also affects his next plan. As the saying goes, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, so some things should be explained clearly first. Otherwise, there will be internal trouble.
Being awkward will definitely delay important things.
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 setting up a show.
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 once the wine was opened, it would be difficult to talk about business, he started to get down to business.
, talked to everyone about the issue of profit distribution and his next plan.
Hong Yanwu meant three things in total.
First, from now on, all our marine products will be sold and sold by him in a unified way. There will no longer be a situation in the past where anyone can pick up and sell the goods. As for him, he will create an account book and indicate the quantity of goods purchased and shipped and the transaction price.
, so that everyone can inquire.
The second is the proceeds from the sale of sea products. Most of the money goes into the public account, and he will use it to hoard and speculate on sea cucumbers to obtain more benefits for everyone.
However, everyone wants to eat and drink, and we will not let everyone live a hard life. Every time the sea food is sold, a part of it will be distributed. According to the originally agreed ratio of four to six distribution, each of the "general" group will
Fifty yuan is allocated at a time. He, Chen Liquan, "Lao Daoyu" and "Xiao Baizi" each receive 66 yuan. All remaining profits must be accumulated first and paid off in one lump sum at the end.
The third point is that he also gave everyone an opportunity to make some extra money. He decided to collect sea cucumbers at the price of 24 cents for 50 sea cucumbers and 40 cents for 30 sea cucumbers. You can charge as much as you want.
Familiar "Haipongzi" buy inventory and earn their price difference.
It was about economic gains and losses, so everyone listened very carefully to these words. As soon as the words were finished, everyone on the "general" side fell into silence. Obviously, they were quite worried.
First of all, considering human nature, how can you feel happy about holding money in your own hands? Although fifty yuan is about the same as what they got every time they touched the sea in the past, they can obviously get more money, if
It's painful enough to have to be kept in a public account all the time.
Secondly, although many people have heard from "Lao Daoyu" and "Xiaobaizi" that Hong Yanwu sells sea cucumbers for a price, 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, and they can produce two hundred kilograms of sea cucumbers at one time, which is simply huge. Besides, seeing what Hong Yanwu means, they have to collect and stockpile them, and they will sell them in the future.
The lost sea cucumbers can weigh hundreds or even thousands of kilograms.
This situation is a bit too much. They don't believe that such a large amount of sea cucumbers can be sold for this amount. Instead, they worry that they will lose their money in the end.
Therefore, no one dared to put such great trust and confidence in Hong Yanwu easily. For a while, it was inevitable that the atmosphere would become tense.
However, the "general" was a little anxious when he looked at these brothers, because he had a deep talk with Hong Yanwu last night, and he had already been completely impressed by Hong Yanwu's ambition and strategy. He believed that as long as he followed Hong Yanwu, he would definitely benefit in the future.
It would be beyond everyone's imagination. So when he was excited, he couldn't help but urge it.
"What's wrong? You're already mute. If you don't believe me, why don't you believe me? If you were my brother, just agree to it quickly!"
The words "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 is unwilling, there is another way. That is to separate fishing and speculation. Each time, at the price just mentioned, the public account will first buy everyone's sea cucumbers in proportion. Then they are willing to participate in speculation.
If you are willing to participate, you will get fifty yuan of "salary". If you are not willing to participate, you will get all the cash. But in this way, no one will get a share of the total dividends in the future.
After hearing this, everyone's expressions softened a little. They all thought that this mode of choice was good, so many people started whispering and discussing what to do.
