Chapter 517: Floating Plan

In the afternoon, the sun was scorching.

The cement floor in the yard was cracked by the sun and a small piece just broke off.

Qin Dahe went forward to clean up while cursing, and then threw the cement blocks aside.

The two kids often go out to play, so they can't get bumped into.

If I had known earlier, I would have left some gaps when hardening.

He wiped the sweat off his face with the towel around his neck and continued making the iron casing under the shade of the tree.

Since we have decided to increase production capacity, we must also arrange the molds and make them first to be prepared for any eventuality.

Fortunately, he had excellent craftsmanship and finished the fifty sleeves quickly. However, he could not help with the remaining polishing of the inner walls, so he had to do it himself.

The heat was unbearable. Just as I was about to go out, Ah Hao and the other two came over.

Qin Dahe looked at the three of them speechlessly. It was 3:30 in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day.

"Your parents still let you go snakehead fishing in this heat?"

"Brother Daha, we ran away secretly." Ah Hao said guiltily.

I really can't stay at home. The thought of going out to catch snakehead fish makes me itchy.

In hot weather, their parents always let them go out at 4:30, at least the sun is not so strong, and they can go home after playing for two hours.

"Okay, sit down and rest for a while, and go out later." He said unhappily, went into the house to get four popsicles, ate the milk cake himself, and gave each of the remaining ones one.

They must be happy to have ice cream to eat, and they are extremely grateful to Qin Dahe.

"What a tan they all look like."

The three of them made money during this period, but they also became tanned, with their white teeth showing like Africans.

"Don't show off, Brother Daha, I have saved more than 300 yuan." Ah Hao said proudly.

"Me too."

The other two friends said that they had saved some money.

He was a little surprised, "Does your family dare to let you hold so much money?"

"My mother took half of the money from selling snakehead fish, otherwise it would have been much more."

"That's right. Last time I sold a 15-jin (5 catties) black fish for a few dozen yuan."

"My father asked me to learn more about fishing from you, since I'm not good at studying anyway."

The little guys talked about their experiences one after another. It was common for black carp to be rampant in the surrounding wild rivers. Qin Dahe and his three brothers went fishing in a boat and could catch more than 100 kilograms in half a day.

They go out to fight crime every day without fail, and the money they earn is worth a day's wages.

Qin Dahe thought secretly in his heart, I have been really ripped off by my family. A 15-pound black fish was only sold for a few dozen yuan?

When the market is good, one piece can cost hundreds of dollars, and the way the middlemen take advantage of it is a bit ugly.

But he didn't say anything. It was other people's family affairs, and he couldn't interfere. He guessed that the three companies had communicated and agreed on the price.

After eating an ice cream, I felt much better. I lit a cigarette and started smoking happily.

I'm in the inner room with the kid sleeping, and he can't leave, he has to watch over the house.

"Brother Dahe, my dad asked me to learn fishing skills from you. Can you teach us more?" Ah Hao looked at him with hope in his eyes.

"Why learn fishing skills? Making money is the bottom line." Taking a deep puff of cigarette, he smiled and shook his head.

The three of them live in the middle of the village, so it is difficult for them to go to Yuxi River to cast their nets.

"Don't you make a lot of money fishing?"

"That's fishing, it depends on luck." He said with a smile, "If you can't learn it academically, learn some skills. You have to find a way out."

"I'm twelve or thirteen now. In a few years, I'll be working, but I won't be able to play for long."

Rural children start working early, sixteen is the standard age, and there are younger ones too. Eighteen is a bit late to go out to work.

Unless your family is well-off or you are an only child, you can raise your child at home for a few more years and then raise a dependent.

These three little guys are able to endure hardships. If they work hard in the future, they will definitely have a good life. There is no need to stick to fishing.

It is right for ordinary people to live a good life first.

Seeing their heartless appearance, Qin Dahe knew that what he said was of no use. It was really because he was a bit of a role model.

After returning home, he continued to make a lot of money, which stimulated a lot of people.

He put out the cigarette dejectedly and was too lazy to persuade her anymore.

"Okay, come with me to get the fishing rod."

"Thank you, Brother Dahe." The three Heitan were overjoyed when they heard this and couldn't wait any longer.

Qin Dahe went to the warehouse with a smile and gave them the lure rods.

That night, Qin Dahe went to his father-in-law to discuss making the float.

My father-in-law's initial work was to polish the mold and then place orders to several carpenters in the county.

Quantities are limited. Currently, they need 5,000 a week. He buys them at 6 yuan each and sells them wholesale for 8 yuan. The master and his apprentice can make as many of these 5,000 as they want. After all, the family makes the profit first, and the rest goes to everyone else.

As for the grandfather providing the mold and placing the order, it is none of his business if he lets others make it at a certain price.

The father and son talked for a long time before they decided on the matter.

"Grandpa, you guys can do it this way this year. Next year we'll build a factory and set up an assembly line. Then you, the chef, will just be responsible for making the belly float."

"You just need to be in charge of production and help me keep an eye on the factory."

The old carpenter nodded when he heard this. His son-in-law's property belonged to his two grandsons, so he must take good care of it.

"I know what I'm doing. Let's win over their hearts first." He said with a smile, "Those old guys will definitely be willing to do it. It makes more money than being a carpenter. Some of those with lesser skills can also do it. We just need to train them slowly."

"That won't work. If we want to train apprentices, they can be proficient in just a few months with molds. We have to recruit these apprentices from the surrounding villages." Qin Dahe said seriously.

Many of the jobs in the factory have to be done by recruiting people from the surrounding area and winning over the villagers so that the factory can continue to operate for a long time.

"That's nonsense. Sometimes I'm not in good shape and the yield rate is very low."

"If the finished product rate is low, then we'll pay you less. Based on performance, the five of you, Master Chef, are enough."

"By then, you will not only be teaching apprentices, but also be responsible for product inspections, so that shoddy products cannot enter the market."

It is sold wholesale for eight yuan, and when it reaches the hands of anglers, it costs at least fifteen yuan, or even twenty yuan.

It's all made by the master craftsman himself. In a few years, when carpenters' wages increase, how much will he sell it for?
There are no gimmicks like nanomaterials, and the retail price of twenty is already the highest.

After hiring an apprentice, the cost of making a float may be only two dollars, so he can earn more.

Now it is purely a welfare benefit. It doesn't matter if my father-in-law and brothers make more money, and it's okay for the four old carpenters to taste some sweetness in the early stage, but they definitely can't do this once things get on the right track.

He also wanted to bring in four agents as shareholders so that he could have an easier time.

It's not a one-man show, and profit must come first.

It took me a long time to convince the old man. He is so stubborn.

He already has the mold, but he still hires master carpenters from everywhere. He is not a kind-hearted person, so how could he support all the carpenters in the county?
It was already nine o'clock when I got home after saying that. The two kids were probably asleep.

"Yan'er, what are you doing?"

I saw her walking around the yard with a stick.

"I'm looking for the one who stole the robes," Yanyan said angrily. "Today, when I was bathing my baby, it came over and took the towel."

Last time, I was doing something by the water with my brother and was seen. I was already angry, and now he dared to provoke her today. He is looking for death.

"You can't find this either." Qin Dahe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It’s useless to turn on all the lights. Night is the black bear’s home turf. Its tongue and eyeballs are black, and you can’t see them at all unless its teeth are exposed.

"Go back to sleep first, I'll give it a good beating later."

"Help me find it. I can't sleep unless I beat it."

"."

His wife gave the order, so he had no choice but to do it.

"Fei Fei, come here." After waving his hand, a huge figure jumped down from the attic nimbly, the contrast was huge.

"Help me find a black bear, and I'll catch you a small fish later."

"Meow!" The big orange cat replied vaguely, and it even made people feel that there was phlegm in its throat. It was just fat.

After sniffing around, Feifei quickly locked onto his target and called out into the workshop.

The workshop is now closed and is used as a warehouse to store some unimportant things.

Because charcoal was burned when frying bean dregs in the first half of the year, the wall was black and the black bear could not be seen hiding in it.

Yanyan entered the workshop with a stick in her hand and looked aggressive.

Qin Dahe sighed. This dog was really asking for death. After a while, he heard the dog's screams.

However, not only was the voice loud, but the person also ran very fast as a dark shadow hurriedly ran out of the workshop hut.

"Okay, go to bed."

"Hmph, I just hit him with a stick and he ran away so fast." Yanyan glared at the dog and then threw away the stick.

When the black bear saw this, he ran back and wanted to go and cuddle with the mistress and ask for forgiveness.

"Get out of here! You're covered in coal dust! If you dare to look around again, I'll poke your eyes out." After saying that, she went into the house.

The main reason was that he was angry because he was seen once. He didn't know whether the brother had beaten him during the day, but today he ran into trouble and did it himself.

Qin Dahe also looked at it with disdain. The bad dog took the towel while he was taking a bath, causing chaos in the house.

Just as I was about to go back to take a shower and go to bed, Feifei yelled again.

"Okay, I'll give you the fish." He took the stick that Yanyan dropped, picked up a piece of twine, hung the hook on it and went to the plank road to fish.

This is the fish feeding area, and you can catch fish even if you hang an empty hook.
