Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 59 Making money again

   "Why does this coconut snail only have a shell, but where is the meat?" Mother Ye also helped to pick it out.

   "In the basin, look for it, slice it and fry it at noon."

   "It's been opened, and there's nothing?" Ye Mu just asked casually, the probability is too low, and she doesn't believe that she can open the Meile Pearl just by opening it casually.

"Um!"

  He lied and didn't make drafts, but Lin Xiuqing sneaked a guilty look at him.

  He winked for a moment, and then said to her: "Go take a shower first, so as not to catch a cold, there are mothers and others here."

  She understood what he meant, nodded along the way, and went back to the house to hide the Meile beads, otherwise she was always worried that they would fall, and she kept covering her pockets all the way back, for fear of running away.

   One crab without big feet and one without meat, and some miscellaneous fish, small fish, shrimp and stone crab were left behind.

   "While it's not raining now, go and come back quickly, remember to put on your coir raincoat."

  Ye Yaodong saw the antique coir raincoat hanging on the corridor at a glance, and he didn't dislike it. It is much more convenient than an umbrella, and it will not be blown over.

  When he went out with two buckets, the women in the family also started to kill fish and cook rice. By the way, they added water to the clams and sprinkled a little coarse salt to raise them.

  Usually, the village is filled with the breath of life. Every household, or the front door or the back door, is full of women weaving nets. Today, the doors and windows of every household are closed, and there is no one on the road.

  When Ye Yaodong came to Ah Cai's house, he was shirtless sharpening his knife and killing fish at the back door. When he heard someone looking for him, he came out with a knife.

   "What are you doing, Brother Cai, I'm here to deliver goods, not to rob. As for coming out aggressively with a knife?"

"Ah? Haha~" Ah Cai glanced at the knife in his hand awkwardly, and explained, "I was just killing fish, why did a typhoon come over? Your father will never go to sea in a typhoon, right? No Doomed?"

   "No, no, I picked these up on the beach when the tide just went out."

   "Hey? You are smart, and you know that the typhoon and the waves are big. If there are things to pick up, let me see if there are any good things." He put the kitchen knife on the waistband of his trousers behind him, and stretched his head to look at the bucket.

"Not bad, here are five or six blue crabs, right? It's really big, is there a moray eel underneath? What else? What the hell... what is this? Sea bass? Is it sea bass?" A Cai was also caught Surprised by the pattern on the fish's body, he squatted down to take a closer look.

  Ye Yaodong was a little proud. It was just a slippery perch, so he was so surprised. If he knew that he also got a Merlot bead with a diameter of more than 2 centimeters, wouldn't his jaw drop in shock?

   "Bring me a price! How much will you charge!"

  He kicked the bucket, the grouper inside was frightened, its tail swung, and the sea water was thrown off Ah Cai's face, Ah Cai was not annoyed, and wiped his face with his hand.

   "We rarely see this fish here, and it may be caught occasionally at Yujing Wharf. Let's weigh it first."

  Ye Yaodong nodded, carrying a bucket and followed him into the house.

  Live fish are not easy to weigh. Fortunately, he has a basket at home.

   "8 taels per catty, how about I just count you 8 yuan?"

   "Not even five yuan a catty? Add a little more, and you can double the price if you sell it to a rich boss. We are in the same village. How dare you kill me?"

   "Nonsense, whoever kills you, whoever buys it doubled, do you think money is so easy to make?"

"Tch, there are quite a few bosses who know the goods in our town. For rich people, a few dozen yuan is not enough for a meal. They only want good things, and money is secondary. I have seen someone A bottle of red wine in the Hongsheng Hotel in the town costs hundreds of dollars, and it costs thousands of dollars a night, so stop fooling me!"

  A Cai stared, and said angrily: "That's also earned by the hotel. Is it normal for the hotel to turn over several times the food? How much can I earn as a fishmonger?"

   "Don't talk to you, count me twelve dollars, and I'll sell it to you!"

   "What, you are a lion, too much! I'm going to lose money..."

   "Then I'll take Agui's house to..." Another purchase point at the pier.

   "Hey, hey~ wait~ wait~ you young people are impulsive, you haven't finished talking yet, you are leaving, ten yuan, ten yuan at most...well, well...then twelve...twelve..."

  Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and murmured for a long time. In the end, if he didn't follow what he said, he knew that Ah Cai was a cunning and cunning man.

  The price of this fish in the hotel is tens of dollars, how could he lose money.

  The price of the remaining blue crab fish is also considered fair, and they are all settled according to the daily purchase price.

  This time there was only twenty or so yuan, and Ah Cai didn’t say that it would be settled in a few days, so he just counted the money to him.

   "It's over, it's settled."

   "Thank you!"

   "You're welcome, I'll bring you some good ones next time. This typhoon is really troublesome. I have to send them to the pier to raise them..."

  Ye Yaodong unbuttoned his coir raincoat, put the money away, and hurried home. There was still a faint sun in the morning, but now there was a strong wind, and the raindrops hit his face and felt a little painful. What a ghostly weather.

  After returning home, the food in the house is already filled with the smell of food, and it is rare for the whole family to gather together.

  Father Ye saw him coming back, and quickly put down the shredded tobacco he was holding, "How much does that bass slip cost?"

   "Twelve dollars!"

"so tall?"

   "Well, I yelled at the price randomly and blew him up, but I didn't expect him to agree."

  Father Ye is also speechless, is it okay?

  Mother Ye brandished a spatula and stir-fried, and did not forget to ask, "How much did you sell for all the goods?"

   "Twenty-five and eighty cents!"

   "Not bad, not bad, you can earn so much just by going out for a walk, it's worth a whole day at sea for others."

  Second sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but say, "Yaodong has been really lucky recently. Every time he goes out for a walk, he can get a lot of money. He has earned hundreds of dollars, right?"

  The sour smell made him want to roll his eyes.

   "Well, I'm lucky recently, I'm going to take a shower first."

   "Dongzi, wash in hot water. If you got caught in the rain, you can't take a cold shower. You'll catch a cold." The old lady was sitting in front of the stove and lighting a fire, and handed him the hot water bottle with a smile.

"OK."

  Although he prefers to take a cold shower, he still listens to what the old lady says.

  It was raining outside, so he could only take the water to wash in the house, and hand over the money to his wife, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw her sitting by the window, picking the palm of her hand with a needle.

   "What's wrong? Sand ran in?"

"Oh, yes."

   "Let me choose for you!"

   "Take a shower first, don't catch a cold."

   "Oh, this is the money from the sale just now, you can keep it, there is still 80 cents, I keep it."

  Lin Xiuqing took it and counted it, and said in surprise: "Sold so much?"

   "The main reason is that the grouper is expensive, and those blue crabs are fat, and one of them weighs two catties. Other fish are much cheaper."

   "Very good, we just went out for half a morning, and we have gained so much, making a lot of money."

   "Well, have you collected the Meile beads?"

   "Don't worry, I've hidden it."
