After Chu Xuan watched them leave, he felt puzzled. Usually, Chu Dashan was too lazy to bother with anything, but why didn't he let Chen Ze give him any money?
There must be something here that attracts him.
Oh right! Widow Qiu was arrested, and no one cooked for her.
The reason why he had to come over to get the money was because he wanted to eat for free, right?
Chu Xuan snorted coldly, wishful thinking!
Walking into the kitchen, I discussed with my mother-in-law, "Mom, if Chu Dashan asks to have dinner at our house tonight, we must agree that he must pay for it."
Qin Mahua responded with a smile, "Didn't you and Chen Ze agree to provide for his old age?"
"Yes, I promised, but there's a precondition. We'll only support him when he's sick or can't walk. Now he's as healthy as a donkey, so we can't support him for nothing, or he'll get ahead of us."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. By the way, have you told your grandfather Wang about Chu Dashan being the security guard?"
"Not yet. I'll go over and ask."
"Go ahead."
After watching Chu Xuan leave, Qin Mahua continued to work in the kitchen.
There are a lot of things to do before the New Year.
When Chu Xuan arrived at the village-run factory, he found out that Wang Depin was accompanying a big client, and was brought back by Mu Chenze.
This is visiting the workshop.
Chu Xuan knew that he would not be able to see Wang Depin for a while, so he did not wait any longer.
More than an hour later, Mu Chenze returned home.
With excitement on his face, he said, "Xiao Xuan, today I brought back a big client, Gao Zhenbang, who signed a purchase contract with our village factory. 2 tons of crispy grilled fish, 10,000 bottles of canned fish..."
The canned fish production line has been completed and will be put into production before the New Year.
The village-run factory will not be closed until the afternoon of New Year's Eve, and the factory workers work in three shifts during these days before the New Year. Not only do they not complain about being tired, they are also very happy.
Everyone likes to work overtime because they can get a lot of overtime pay and bonuses.
Mu Chenze and his wife were happy to see that the village-run factory was becoming more and more prosperous.
First, it will drive the development of the village, and second, their dividends and commissions will increase.
After Mu Chenze reported to his wife, he took the cash and went to find Ji Ping.
The money from selling bulk goods must be sent over.
Based on his understanding of Ji Ping, if he didn't go to deliver it, Ji Ping would definitely be too embarrassed to come to his house to ask for it.
It only took a few minutes to ride the bike to Ji Ping's house.
As soon as Ji Ping saw him, he warmly invited him into the house.
Ji Ping didn't go out to sea today, but lit the kang.
They talked in the bedroom.
Mu Chenze took out seven stacks of money from his four pockets.
"Today's sales brought in a total of 7,850 yuan. I gave Boss Yuan a 500 yuan commission, and Lin Yong only took 100 yuan for the transportation fee. That leaves 7,250 yuan. Deduct the overseas costs, and we'll split the profits."
All the money was placed on the kang table.
Ji Ping was so happy that he couldn't stop grinning. "Did it really sell for that much? That's too much!"
"That's really the price. Let's quickly calculate the cost of your voyage so we can split the profits."
"What's the cost? No need to deduct the cost of going out to sea, just share the money directly. The ordinary hairtail fish I caught sold for 460 yuan! It's enough for my going out to sea."
With Ji Ping's insistence, the profits were divided into 7,250 pieces.
Ji Ping received 4,350 yuan.
Mu Chenze put the remaining money back into his pocket and waited to divide it with Chu Dashan.
Ji Ping was so happy holding the money, "Chen Ze, this is the first time I've made so much money. I've basically earned back the money I spent on buying the second-hand boat. I've made up my mind. I'll go out to sea again tomorrow morning, and when I come back I'll seal the boat for the New Year."
He was short of money before and planned to close the ship on New Year's Eve, but now he has money, he changed his mind.
Mu Chenze also supported him to seal the ship early and prepare for the New Year.
After all, the house needs to be cleaned inside and out, and New Year's goods need to be prepared.
They chatted for a few more sentences before Mu Chenze left.
On the way home, I met Accountant Wen.
Accountant Wen grabbed his arm and said, "I was just about to call you on the village office loudspeaker, but now there's no need. The village chief asked me to let you know that Gao Zhenbang wants to stay with us for another day and go fishing with the fishing boat. He specifically asked you to accompany him."
Mu Chenze was a little embarrassed. "I really don't have time to go to sea. Besides, my parents and wife are against me going on a ship before the New Year. Please find a way to help me turn it down."
"If it could be turned down, the village chief would have helped you a long time ago. Gao Zhenbang insisted that you accompany him, saying that if you don't go, the order will be void. At most, he will pay a small penalty for breach of contract."
"This...I'll go home and discuss it with my family."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
Accountant Wen watched Mu Chenze leave before looking away, putting his hands in the pockets of his cotton-padded jacket and walking home.
I don't know if Sheng Damei will really buy him dumplings...
Mu Chenze returned home and found that his wife was not at home.
"Mom, where is my wife?"
Qin Mahua, who was busy in the kitchen, responded loudly, "She went to her mother's yard."
"Mom, didn't I bring a big client back today? He insisted on going sea fishing and asked me to accompany him. If I don't go, he will cancel the order. Can you talk to Dad about whether he agrees to let me go? I'll go find my wife first."
Mu Chenze finished speaking and rode away on his bike.
Qin Mahua sighed. The more she didn't want Xiaoze to get on the boat before the New Year, why did this kind of thing happen?
Walk into the bedroom and discuss with Mu Qinlao.
At this moment, Chu Xuan was sweeping the yard at her mother's house with a big broom.
Wang Depin passed by and saw the door was open, so he came in and said hello, "Xiao Xuan, are you busy with the New Year?"
Chu Xuan put the big broom aside and said, "Yeah! If we don't sweep this yard for a day, it will be covered with fallen leaves."
The wind is strong here, and the leaves outside the yard may be blown in at any time.
"I heard from people in the factory that you went to see me?"
“Yes, Grandpa Wang, can you arrange for Chu Dashan to be the doorman?”
Wang Depin knew that Chu Dashan was helping with the acting.
"No problem. I'll go back and tell the factory office when I get back. He can come to the village factory to work anytime. Tell everyone that he's being rewarded for catching the bad guys."
Chu Xuan was about to say thank you when Wang Depin stopped him.
"Xiao Xuan, don't thank me yet. I need to trouble you with something."
"Grandpa Wang, why are you being so polite to me? Just say it directly."
Wang Depin looked apologetic. "Well, I know your family has closed the boat for the New Year, and your parents-in-law didn't want Chen Ze to come aboard before the New Year. But Boss Gao Zhenbang insisted on going sea fishing and specifically asked Chen Ze to accompany him. At first I wanted to help him turn it down, but Boss Gao said that if Chen Ze didn't come, the order would be canceled."
Chu Xuan looked helpless. "Why is Boss Gao like this? He has no sympathy for us. It's Chinese New Year and everyone is busy. Who has time to go fishing with him? He really knows how to find time."
"I told him that everyone is busy with the New Year, but he brought up the time he helped Chenze catch a thief, saying that without his help, Chenze would have lost a thousand yuan. Just to show his gratitude, Chenze has to accompany him. When you go home, help persuade your parents-in-law, and I'll ask your Grandma Wang to go over and persuade them as well. How about that?"
"Okay! I'll go back and persuade them."
Chu Xuan didn't bother to continue sweeping the leaves in the yard. She saw Grandpa Wang off, locked the gate, and prepared to go back to her husband's house.
After walking a few steps, I saw Mu Chenze riding a bicycle towards me.
"Chenze, Grandpa Wang just said that Boss Gao wants you to accompany him on a sea fishing trip. What do you think?"
