The next day, after dealing with matters at the fishery, she took time out to visit the supply and marketing cooperative.
She was lucky because there were only ten kettles in this batch, and the last one was left. It was a defective product, and the plastic on the edge was broken. But it was better than nothing, so she decisively paid for it.
When she returned to the team, she saw Zhao Xiangbei still feeding the fish.
Because Lin Jin was unwilling to give up, he ran to the county town to sell fish again. The two fish ponds that Lin Jin was responsible for were left to Zhao Xiangbei to manage, and he was so tired that he was sweating.
Jiang Wanyue had to go to the factory to paint herself, so she really couldn't help him.
After she finished painting, she rushed to the brigade headquarters and met Tian Youliang and Song Dahai.
The two had just finished talking about village affairs and were about to go home. When they saw Jiang Wanyue coming, they immediately smiled and greeted her: "Are you still busy at the fishery?"
"I came here specifically to see you two." Jiang Wanyue said, "Dad, Uncle Tian, you should have seen that our fishery is just starting out and it's too busy. Xiangbei, an accountant, is still feeding the fish and soaking in the fish pond all day long. He can't do anything, which really affects the development of our fishery."
Tian Youliang paused and said, "Xiao Jiang, do you mean to recruit a few more people?"
"That's no problem." Song Dahai said, "Feeding the fish should indeed be assigned to someone else. You have to find a way to sell the fish."
Jiang Wanyue sighed: "But the fishery has no money in its account, so we can't afford to hire anyone."
Tian Youliang and Song Dahai looked at each other.
They were very clear about the accounts of the fish farm. At the beginning, they only had two or three hundred yuan. After collecting fish grass, wheat bran and other things every day, they probably had only about one hundred yuan left.
I really can't afford to hire anyone with this little money.
As if he had made up his mind, Tian Youliang put out his cigarette and said, "That's it. Your father and I will spend two hours every night helping the fish farm feed the fish. You don't need to worry about feeding the fish."
Jiang Wanyue held her forehead with her hand.
She had no intention of taking advantage of these two.
She laughed and said, "Dad, Uncle Tian, you two are the leaders of our team, how can we let you do such work? I have an idea. There are many reformed elements in our team. Now that farming is slack, they have nothing to do. They just carry manure every day. It's too cheap for them. I think we can let them work in the fishery. In the future, the fishery will no longer need to collect fish and grass, saving a lot of expenses."
Tian Youliang couldn't believe it: "Girl, you actually set your sights on those people. Although they are reformed elements, they are also intellectuals and are not very good at work."
"It's just cutting grass to feed the fish. I can do it, so why can't they do it?" Jiang Wanyue rubbed her hands. "The main thing is that it doesn't cost money to hire reformers. The fishery is too poor. I can only think of these unorthodox methods. Dad, Uncle Tian, just agree to it."
Song Dahai thought for a while and said, "These reformed elements used to work for the brigade, but now they work for the fishery. So the food supply has to be transferred to the fishery. Can the fishery afford it?"
Jiang Wanyue grinned: "I can't afford to pay the salary, but I can still afford two meals a day."
That’s settled.
Jiang Wanyue felt that she had made a fortune.
The fish farm spends four dollars a day collecting fish and grass, but the food for all the people in the cowshed combined costs less than a dollar a day, saving a lot of costs.
The people in the cowshed did the hardest and most tiring work in the brigade, but ate the worst food. They were all pale and thin, as if they would fall down at the slightest wind. From now on, when they work in the fishery, at least they can fill their stomachs and ensure basic nutrition.
Moreover, she had a cornucopia with an endless supply of food, and sometimes she could cook a little in private, which was not a difficult task.
This matter is beneficial to both parties.
Jiang Wanyue immediately went to the cowshed.
Xiaojing Brigade has three cowsheds. The first cowshed is home to Mr. Lu’s family of four, the second cowshed is home to a middle-aged couple surnamed Wang, and the third cowshed is home to a family surnamed Li of five. A total of eleven people live in the cowshed.
With these people's help, the efficiency of the fishery will be greatly improved.
As she reached the door of the cowshed, Old Lu came out with a nervous look on his face. He looked left and right and whispered, "It's not dark yet. If someone sees us, I'm afraid..."
"I'm here to give you a notice." Jiang Wanyue said with a serious face, "Starting tomorrow, all of your food supplies will be transferred to the fishery. Tomorrow morning, you will all go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting to find out what specific work you will do."
She didn't say much, because she still needed to discuss the specific rules with the other two people in the fishery.
When we got back to the brigade, Lin Jin had already returned and was excitedly saying, "Wanyue, it's sold. I sold 40 kilograms!"
"Congratulations." Jiang Wanyue asked politely, "Which factory did you sell it to?"
Lin Jin kept talking: "We sold it to the biscuit factory. I tried many ways, but the guard wouldn't let me in. I could only squat at the door and wait. Finally, a man who looked like a leader came. I tried to get close to him and said that many factories in the county bought our fish as welfare for their employees. The biscuit factory is a large factory with hundreds of employees. It would be inappropriate not to buy some, right? Anyway, I talked for a long time and my lips were dry. The leader finally nodded. Originally, the leader meant to add more food to the canteen, at least a hundred pounds. The logistics director was too stingy and bought fish at the standard of two taels per person, so there were only forty pounds..."
She talked incessantly, not even sparing any detail, and had an expression on her face that showed she was about to praise me.
Zhao Xiangbei gave a thumbs up: "Sister Lin is amazing. Forty kilograms is twenty yuan, and Sister Lin can get a commission of 20 cents."
When it comes to money, Lin Jin feels a little embarrassed.
