Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 101 Selling at a High Price

   A basket of baskets took turns to say that everyone around stretched their necks, wanting to see if there are other good products?

   It just disappointed them, and the next ones were some common common goods, but the 55-jin big cod was also worth talking about for a long time.

  After receiving the documents, the family of three happily walked home. When Ah Cai called a little later, a buyer came, and they just went to the pier.

   Along the way, they were also discussing how much to sell.

  Ye Yaodong is not sure how much this fish can sell at this moment, anyway, it depends on the situation.

   "It's only a matter of discussion now. When the time comes, people will come to see how much they bid. Let's ask him to increase it depending on the situation."

   "That's right, we don't know how much it will cost."

   "The fish is counting on its isinglass."

  The family walked home in light rain while talking...

  When they were about to reach the door, the rain stopped, and the originally dark sky became clear again in an instant. The sky washed by the rain looked extraordinarily blue and extraordinarily clean, as if all the haze had been washed away.

  Because of the heavy rain, the homestead also temporarily stopped work to avoid the rain. It was only after 4 o'clock at the moment. After the sky cleared, everyone moved again.

  Mother Ye got some food for the father and son, and then went to the homestead without touching the ground.

  Ye Yaodong and Ye's father had a bath and had a meal. Before they had a rest, Ah Cai's eldest son ran over and told them to go to the pier.

  Ye Yaodong came out lazily with his clothes on, bare upper body, "The speed is really fast!"

   "After all, it's quite rare. The big yellow croaker came very quickly when it was sold before. Let's go and have a look."

   They hurried to the outside of the pier again.

  What Ye Yaodong didn't expect was that it was Hong Wenle, an old acquaintance, who came. Seeing a motorcycle parked next to it, with mud on its tires, no wonder it came so fast.

  Hong Wenle also recognized him, raised his eyebrows at him, "Huh? Is it you?"

   "Hehe~ Boss Hong is here to buy big cod?"

   "Well, just now, the people below said that someone caught a big cod weighing more than 55 catties. I just happened to be idle, so I came to take a look out of curiosity."

   Ah Cai also smiled and said at this time: "So Ah Dong knows Mr. Hong."

   "I have seen."

   "Is this fish yours?" Hong Wenle said to Ye Yaodong, he just came here and has already seen this fish.

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "I caught it this afternoon. It's very rare for this cod to grow to such a large size. The big isinglass in its stomach is a good thing. It's good for the elderly, children, pregnant women, especially so. Big ones, rare ones, Boss Hong will save face if he buys them back, whether he eats them himself, makes a whole fish feast, or gives them away!"

   "How much are you going to sell for?"

"Hehe, Boss Hong knows what to buy. We fishermen rely on the sea to live with our lives. Surely you won't let me suffer, right? In the afternoon, there was a middle-aged man in our village who fell into the sea and disappeared..." Speaking The smile on Ye Yaodong's face also faded a little here, and he stopped talking.

  "When I first entered the village, I heard at the entrance of the village that it is really not easy for fishermen, so let's do this, and sell this fish to me for 500."

  Father Ye widened his eyes in surprise, "Five...five hundred?"

   "Well, quite a lot, it's also because the fish maw inside is valuable, and it's rare that it's so big, otherwise the fish wouldn't be worth the price."

  Originally, the bigger the big cod, the more valuable it is.

  Ye Yaodong also responded with a smile on his face, the young master of a rich family is really straightforward and not short of money.

  Several pairs of eyes squinted happily at Hong Wenle at the same time, waiting for him to take out the money, but he put his hands in his pockets and didn't respond. Instead, he was puzzled by their expressions?

"what?"

   "Uh...give me money!"

  Hong Wenle suddenly realized, "Oh, wait a minute, wait for Wang Maoquan to come and ask him to give it. He is riding a bicycle behind and has not arrived yet."

"oh."

  Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

   Not long after, Ye Yaodong saw the dog-like middle-aged man he had seen at the entrance of the Hongsheng Hotel. He came riding a 28-bike bicycle, and a young boy sat behind him.

  The young boy jumped off the back seat without waiting for the bicycle to stop, and leaned over to Hong Wenle to flatter him, "Brother Le, your motorcycle is so fast, the way it whizzes by is so cool..."

It didn't matter to him that he jumped. Wang Maoquan, who was riding a bicycle, was shaken by the affected body and the front of the car was unstable. The big bar stuck the crotch.

   hiss~

  He gasped, covered his crotch with his hands, and didn't put down the brakes on his bicycle, and fell directly on the dirt road full of gravel and loess.

  Seeing Father Ye's heart twitching, his heart ached, it was such a waste to throw a good bicycle on the ground like this.

  Hong Wenle laughed out loud, "Wang Maoquan, why are you panicking? I'm not afraid that it will break and it won't work."

  Ye Yaodong couldn't be happier, the way he jumped up and down was too funny.

  The younger boy held back his smile, and hurried forward to apologize: "I'm sorry, Uncle Quan, are you okay? Go back and let me ride you."

   "Rolling ~"

  He clamped his crotch tightly, still covering it with his hands, and slowly moved to Hong Wenle's side with a painful expression, "Young Master, did you see the fish?"

   "Look, buy it, pay for it."

   "Hey, okay, how much?" He squatted there with his legs crossed, and took out his wallet...

   "500 yuan."

  The hand that counted the money trembled, looked up in surprise and looked at Hong Wenle in disbelief, "Huh? 500?"

   "Well, 500, give me the money."

   "Has it been slaughtered? No matter how valuable a big cod is, how can it be worth 500 yuan?"

Ye Yaodong opened the foam box again with a smile, pointed to the big cod fish and said, "For 55 catties, the fish maw can be worth six taels. If a catty of cod fish maw is worth 1,000 yuan, this fish and fish maw is worth it." It’s 600 yuan, and this is not a small fish maw, but a 6 taels of cod fish maw, which is of higher quality and definitely more expensive, boss.”

   "Well, give me the money, this codfish maw is a good thing."

The young master repeatedly asked him to give the money, but Wang Maoquan didn't dare to disobey him. He could only take out all the money in the wallet with pain, dipped his finger in his saliva, counted it, and counted a wad of 50 cards. , took a look at Ye Yaodong, and handed it to him reluctantly.

  Ye Yaodong narrowed his eyes with a smile, took the hand and tapped it lightly, and only handed it to his father after confirming that it was correct.

   "Okay, let them be delivered to the hotel at night, just to entertain important guests. Is there any good stuff here? Take it out and let me see."

  A Cai hurriedly apologized, "No more, they are all worthless goods, you must despise them, they have already been shipped away."

   "Let's go back then, the road after rain is so dirty, it's full of mud..." Hong Wenle rubbed the soles of his leather shoes in disgust, then got on the motorcycle and drove away.

  Wang Maoquan told Ah Cai to send the fish to their hotel now, and then let the younger generation take him by bicycle, and then left.

  Ah Cai looked at Ye Yaodong and his son with a smile, "Congratulations on making another fortune, Prince Hongsheng is really generous."

  Father Ye took out another piece of money that he had collected in his pocket, handed it to Cai, and said with a smile, "Thank you too."

He accepted it bluntly, "Well, we are old friends. Recently, I heard that Hong Wenle brought many friends back to play, and they all entertained them with delicious food, so I thought of contacting Hongsheng to ask. Look, if it is sold to those who usually collect fish, the price will definitely not be so high."

   "Okay, you can do your work, we're going back." Ye Yaodong was so tired that he didn't want to say any more polite words, he just wanted to go home and lie down.

  Mother Ye and the others also finished work and went home to cook dinner. After knowing that a big cod was sold for 500 yuan, the whole family was overwhelmed.

  A group of people were arguing and shouting at each other, and with the addition of a bunch of children at home, Ye Yaodong was so fired that he just went back to the room and lay down.

  But he didn't think about it, so he fell into a drowsy sleep. He didn't wake up without Lin Xiuqing calling him.

  He opened his heavy eyelids and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it dark?"

"It's almost time, my mother is eating, why are you so hot?" Lin Xiuqing didn't know if she didn't touch him, but when she touched his arm, it was hot, and she reached out to touch his forehead again, "You have a fever! It must be this afternoon It's raining."

   "Well, no wonder I feel extra tired when I go to sleep, with a heavy head and groggy."

   "Go to the clinic after dinner and grab some medicine."

After the couple came out of the house, they heard Mother Ye say that Father Ye also had a fever, and she was still scolding him, "It must have been rained for too long in the afternoon, plus I went to sea every day during this time, and I couldn't sleep well. He can’t eat well, his body can’t bear it, and he was told to rest for two days, but he didn’t listen, now it’s all right, and the money he earned will be used to buy medicine.”

  Seeing Ye Yaodong walk out in a sluggish state, Mother Ye asked him again, "How are you? Do you have a fever or a cold?"

   "I also have a fever."

   "One by one... Then just rest at home for a few days, and let your father choose a piece of wood by the way, it's time to make beams."

  Ye Yaodong was more curious about what happened to the man who fell into the sea, so he also asked.

Mother Ye sighed, "What else can I do? They all fell into the sea and sank, how can I fish them? I can only make a clothes grave and hold a funeral. It's just that life will be difficult after leaving orphans and widows. Originally, his family's life is pretty good Alright, now a bunch of relatives should be watching their family's boat."

   "Ah? How could this be? Is it so impersonal? Everyone has just died, so it's not enough?" Lin Xiuqing couldn't believe it.

   "I didn't say that now, I have to wait until the funeral is over, but there are relatives who are jealous of their boat. Their two sons are young, and it will be several years before they stand up..."

  When something happened in the village, it spread very quickly. In less than half a day, the women in the village had already started talking about it.

  Ye Yaodong is also a little greedy, but unfortunately he can't afford it, and he already has a small wooden boat. When he can afford it, the boat will probably be gone.
