After the water boiled, Ye Chenliang went to wash up first.
Feng Ye then put his son down and let him play by himself, before pulling Ye Qingling into the room.
He pointed to the satchel on the table: "This contains the money from this voyage to sell goods, as well as the sales and supply lists."
Please count them and write them down.
Ye Qingling opened her handbag and was stunned when she saw the thick wad of banknotes inside.
She stared in astonishment, her mouth agape. It took her a moment to process what she'd said, and she swallowed hard. "How much money is in here?"
"Around 35,000 or 36,000. After giving the boatmen red envelopes and commissions, I didn't count the exact amount."
"so much?"
"The first and last times I sold goods were both when I was at the port, so I earned more."
The two middle two sales were to fresh seafood vendors, so the profit wasn't much.
Moreover, they resupply once, spending more than three thousand yuan.
You'll understand once you look at the list.
"That's still a lot, isn't it?"
Without a second thought, Ye Qingling exclaimed happily, "We earned 35,000 or 36,000 on this trip! Does that mean we can break even after three or four more trips?"
"No way, we don't always have such good luck every time we go out."
Feng Ye smiled and shook his head, "The main reason I was able to earn so much this time is because I encountered an orca playing with a manta ray on my first day out..."
He briefly recounted his experience on this sea voyage.
Ye Qingling was stunned, and even considered going out to sea with them.
However, she also knew very well that it was completely impossible.
Putting everything else aside, just considering the boat full of men, it would be extremely inconvenient for her, a woman alone.
Not to mention superstitious beliefs such as women not being allowed on boats.
The ship was full of our own people, so it didn't matter if she went out with them, just like when she went out to a deserted island to go beachcombing on the old Rising Sun.
But it won't work if there are outsiders around.
Some people, especially older people, are very superstitious about this.
She could only shake her head, banishing the absurd idea to the winds.
"Big ships are better. Big ships make money faster. We made so much money from just one trip."
Ye Qingling sighed, "With your luck, you'll definitely break even soon."
She firmly believed this.
"It still depends on luck."
If you're lucky, you can make several thousand yuan in one go;
If you're unlucky, it's all for nothing; you'll be lucky to get a few hundred yuan.
"That's great. If you do seven or eight online jobs a day, you can earn at least one or two thousand yuan."
When you were unlucky, you could only earn three or four hundred yuan a day.
“You only see the benefits, but you don’t know how high the costs are. Just the diesel fuel burned every day costs seven or eight hundred yuan.”
"Wow, does it consume that much fuel?"
What do you think?
"I originally thought it would be only slightly higher than the Rising Sun, at most double the price."
"You're thinking too simply."
Generally speaking, the larger the ship, the higher the engine's fuel consumption rate, and this rate increases exponentially.
A behemoth like an aircraft carrier burns tons of fuel per hour.
As they were talking, Ye Chenliang's voice rang out from the living room: "Aye, I'm done washing up, it's your turn."
"They're here."
Feng Ye responded, then said, "I'm going to take a shower now, I'll talk to you later."
He opened the wardrobe, took out a pair of underwear, left the room, and carried a bucket of water to take a bath.
After he finished showering, he came out wearing only his underwear, but he didn't see Ye Chenliang, and even the luggage he had left in the living room was gone.
"Hey, where's your brother?"
"I'm going back."
Ye Qingling said, "While you were taking a bath, Dad came back to deliver the money from selling the goods, so I asked him to take my brother to town."
"Dad's back already? Did the dried fish sell out so quickly today?"
Feng Ye was a little surprised.
He thought it would take at least an hour, but to his surprise, his father came back just half an hour after they got home.
Ye Qingling shook her head: "I didn't ask, so I'm not sure."
Feng Ye said "Oh," and changed the subject, asking, "Is the account booked? How much money is there? Have you counted it?"
"I've counted it all, it's 60 cents in total. I've been really lucky this time, I've made a lot."
“This isn’t all ours; we haven’t even shared the portions with Big Brother and Ah Chan yet.”
"I know."
Ye Qingling glanced at him sideways, "If it's all ours, I'll have to worry that the money came from illegitimate sources. Did you guys do something bad?"
Feng Ye rolled his eyes: "What bad things could we possibly do? We couldn't have stolen it, could we?"
"That's hard to say."
"Don't be so delusional. This money is perfectly legitimate; it's all earned through our hard work."
"Did you do anything wrong when you were selling goods ashore?"
"What bad thing? What bad thing could we possibly do?"
He was puzzled and didn't react immediately.
Ye Qingling said with a half-smile, "I've heard that people who go out to sea always go looking for places to have fun as soon as they come ashore."
"What are you thinking with that little brain of yours?"
Feng Ye said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "That kind of situation usually happens on ocean-going ships, where they can drift at sea for one or two months, or even longer."
It's rare to get ashore, and after being cooped up for so long, it's normal to have some fun.
"We've only been gone a few days, how could we possibly spend that money?"
"Just tell me, is it true or not?"
"Not necessarily. Some people just eat and drink after they get ashore..."
"Besides eating and drinking, what else?"
