Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 30 Proposal to buy a car
That night, Chang Pingning was worried that there would be no sea urchins to send to the restaurant the next day, and he couldn't fall asleep.She told Guo Bomo her inner worries. Without the income from sea urchins, her family's source of income might be unstable.

I don't know if it was because of the moonlight, but Chang Pingning vaguely felt that Guo Bomo had a relieved expression on his face.Soon, Guo Bomo comforted her that her mother would definitely find a way.If it didn't work out, he would accompany Chang Pingning to the beach in the evening to see if he could pick up a few sea urchins.

Chang Pingning couldn't sleep with his eyes open. Occasionally he would push Guo Bomo and ask if the tide was out and if he could go to the beach.

I don't know how long it took, but both Chang Pingning and Guo Bomo heard movement in the yard. Guo Bomo stood up nervously, put on his coat and walked out of the room.After a while, Chang Pingning heard the conversation between Guo Bomo and his mother-in-law coming from the yard.

Chang Pingning also got dressed and walked out of the house. She saw her mother-in-law and father-in-law holding a bucket in one hand and iron tongs and a shovel in the other, as if they were ready to go out.

It seemed that Chang Pingning was not the only one who was worried about not being able to send the sea urchin to the restaurant the next day.

The four people soon arrived near the beach. The tide had just receded. When they stepped on the sand, there was still a faint moisture. There were crabs walking sideways under the moonlight.

However, there were not as many sea urchins as before. The four of them searched for them on the beach for a while and only caught about ten. Although they still wanted to continue searching, Ye Xiuying straightened up and looked at the water surface and the moon phase for a while, reminding everyone to hurry up. Retreat to a safe place.

The four people returned to Guo's house and found that none of them had picked up many sea urchins. When they put the sea urchins in their respective buckets together, it was just enough for one bucket.

Seeing this situation, Chang Pingning sighed softly at the bucket of sea urchins.

"It doesn't matter. We made a lot of money from the sea urchins we sent to the restaurant some time ago. Our family can't make all the money from the sea urchins." Ye Xiuying comforted, "In addition to this bucket of sea urchins, we will bring another bucket of conches and crab roe to the town tomorrow. Go on. You can always sell it for some money."

"Everyone is tired at night. Go back and rest quickly. We have to go out tomorrow." Guo Dayong reminded.

Now that the father-in-law has spoken, Chang Pingning and Guo Bomo can only go back to their houses to rest.However, Chang Pingning still felt regretful. She originally thought that she could rely on the sea urchin business so that Guo Bomo could stay on the shore and no longer need to risk going to sea.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the sea urchin business could no longer continue.

"Don't worry." Guo Bomo heard Chang Pingning's sigh and patted Chang Pingning's hand gently, "It's always been like this in the village. Whenever there is any seafood sold at a higher price, other people will flock to it. Normally. "

But the next morning, when Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying rushed to the big tree at the entrance of the village with two buckets of seafood, they saw from a distance that the man driving the cattle cart had slowly left Guojia Village.

Chang Pingning just wanted to rush to the port and ask Guo Bomo if this was a "normal situation"?
But unexpectedly, Ye Xiuying's reaction was still very calm: "Girl Ning, let's go to the port and find a car to go to town."

There are many more cars and boats at the port than in Guojia Village, but Chang Pingning did not expect that his mother-in-law would make such a proposal.

"Mom, how do we get to the port?" After all, Guojiacun is still some distance away from the port. Chang Pingning was confused, and then asked in disbelief. "Go?"

Then he saw Ye Xiuying's nod as expected, and Chang Pingning had no choice but to follow her mother-in-law's footsteps.

After the two of them walked past the fork in the port, it didn't take long before they saw people from other villages leaving the port.

Ye Xiuying stopped and asked a few questions, knowing that the car was going to the town, so she pulled Chang Pingning into the car.

"Not bad luck." Ye Xiuying smiled at Chang Pingning.

Chang Pingning had no choice but to laugh with his mother-in-law when he saw this, with a bitter expression.

Ye Xiuying patted Chang Pingning's hand and said, "Don't be discouraged. Mom has encountered it in more difficult times. This is where we are." Because there were people from other villages in the car, Ye Xiuying did not speak so straightforwardly.Chang Pingning also understood that his mother-in-law was comforting him, nodded, and quickly sorted out his emotions.

When Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying arrived in the town, they saw many residents running towards the vegetable market.

Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying exchanged confused looks, and then Ye Xiuying bought two steamed buns at a breakfast stall and asked what happened.

The two learned from the breakfast stall owner that for some reason this morning, there were many villagers selling sea urchins in the market. Those people kept shouting for lower prices in order to sell the sea urchins in their hands as quickly as possible.

The price of sea urchin in the wet market has dropped from seven cents to five cents.

The breakfast stall owner looked at the two people in front of him and kindly reminded them: "It's still early for you two to go now. If you go later, it might be even lower."

Chang Pingning didn't understand why this happened, but she heard her mother-in-law snort next to her, as if she looked down on such behavior.

The two had breakfast and headed to the restaurant.

When the errand boy of the restaurant saw them, he bowed his hands to them apologetically: "I'm sorry, you two. I heard today that the price of sea urchins in the wet market is five cents each. Our restaurant has purchased a lot of sea urchins from the wet market. I'm afraid it's for eating. There are no less than two barrels sent by the two of you.”

"Where's one bucket? We happened to only bring one bucket today." Ye Xiuying said, opening two wooden buckets, one filled with sea urchins, and the other filled with large conch and crab roe.

The errand boy stepped forward and took a look: "I should still be able to eat a bucket of sea urchin. In this case, I will go to the back kitchen to ask Chef Wang for instructions. You two can drink some water here to moisten your throat."

Seeing the errand boy leaving, Chang Pingning looked at Ye Xiuying doubtfully: "Mom, are those selling sea urchins from our village?"

"I guess so." Ye Xiuying shook her head disdainfully, "Shouting low prices is very similar to what people like Guo Yuhua did."

Chang Pingning poured a glass of water for her mother-in-law, knowing that there must be something she didn't know about.

Sure enough, Ye Xiuying took the water from Chang Pingning and told Chang Pingning that her previous stall in the vegetable market was squeezed out by Guo Yuhua's low price.

"No matter what kind of seafood I sell, as long as she has it, the price is a penny lower than mine." Ye Xiuying still gritted her teeth when talking about this, "Even if she doesn't have it that day, it will definitely appear at her stall the next day. "

Chang Pingning did not expect that the festival between mother-in-law and Aunt Yuhua would happen so early, and Aunt Yuhua's methods were not very glorious.

Ye Xiuying saw that there was no one around, and asked Chang Pingning with a smile: "Girl Ning, do you think it's a long way from the village to the port?"

After hearing her mother-in-law's question, Chang Pingning nodded.

"When there were no cars on the road, I walked directly from the village to the town." Ye Xiuying said, with inexplicable pride on her face.

Chang Pingning was surprised. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so energetic before. She just walked from the village to the port road, and she was already very tired before she even reached the port.

After a while, Chang Pingning suggested in a low voice: "Mom, how about we buy a car?"
