My courtyard shelter

Chapter 294 Handover

Because the accommodation fee can be reimbursed, the five people directly asked for five single rooms. Anyway, they don’t have to pay for it themselves, so of course they strive for the best. Read М

Pack your luggage.

Xu Dong knocked on Lao Wang’s room with a cigarette: "Dong Dong Dong..."

"Xiao Xu, please come in."

"I came here to give you cigarettes, so I won’t go in. The cigarettes are for you." Xu Dong handed the cigarette to the other party.

"It was just a joke on the train, why did you take it seriously?"

"It’s just a pack of cigarettes, it’s not a big deal, don’t be polite to me." After all, there will be private goods to bring in later, so if you can get along well, you should try your best to get along well.

Lao Wang pretended to refuse a few words and accepted it, smiling brightly, as if he had taken a great advantage.

Next, Xu Dong gave cigarettes to Gu Haiyuan and Xiao Zheng in turn, and finally it was Lao Fang’s turn.

Lao Fang took the cigarette without hesitation and smoked it in front of Xu Dong.

"Would you like to have one?"

Xu Dong shook his head: "I've been feeling irritated lately and don't want to smoke. I want to go out and get some food. Would you like to join me?"

On the way here just now, he saw a lot of stalls along the way. It seems that Funing County is not as short of food as imagined.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Lao Fang closed the door.

Secondly, when we arrived outside the hotel, although Funing is just a small county town, it is close to the sea after all, and it looks morbidly prosperous.

Its liveliness is no less than that of Yanjing.

Xu Dong glanced at his watch. It was almost half past eight, but there were still many pedestrians on the street, most of whom were blue-collar workers rushing to and from get off work.

You can tell from their clothes.

"Tsk tsk, the county town is quite lively!"

"Look over there." Xu Dong pointed to a grain store and said, "There is such a long queue, let's go over and take a look."

"Okay." Lao Fang was also very curious.

Arriving at the door of the grain store, a fragrance hit him in the face. Xu Dong asked an old lady:

"Auntie, why are there so many people queuing here?"

"You just came here?"

Xu Dong nodded: "We came from Yanjing, just arrived, and wanted to find something to eat."

"Then you have come to the right place. Today we have grilled small yellow croaker, you must not miss it." The old lady introduced with a smile.

"Small yellow croaker?" Lao Fang was surprised.

"Yes, it is small yellow croaker. We are a famous yellow croaker breeding area here. What we lack the most is large yellow croaker and small yellow croaker." The old lady looked proud.

Xu Dong was also surprised: "Auntie, your living conditions are too good, right? We can only eat meat a few times a year in Yanjing."

"Hahaha..." The aunt waved her hand and explained with a smile, "You two misunderstood. Today is the Little New Year's Eve. It only happens once or twice a year. People can't eat it on other days."

Xu Dong slapped his head. How could he forget this? Speaking of which, his family is also from the south. In the past, they celebrated the Little New Year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, one day later than the north.

It's just that after moving to Yanjing, they followed the local customs.

"Auntie, how much is this small yellow croaker?" Xu Dong asked immediately.

"No matter the size, it's 300 yuan per fish."

"Can we buy it?"

The aunt nodded: "Of course, this year our farms have a bumper harvest. Although most of the fish have been handed over, there are still a lot left in the county.

A few days ago, the people above decided to take out most of the small yellow croakers and give them back to our people.

Whether it's a local or a migrant worker, each person is limited to one. Buy it today, or it may be gone tomorrow."

Hearing that there was only one, Xu Dong lost interest instantly. The small yellow croaker was originally small, and one was just enough to taste it.

And to be honest, this price is not cheap.

"It's strange, why are the grain stores here responsible for cooking?" Lao Fang interrupted and asked.

"There are more people working here, mainly for the convenience of these people. They usually eat in the canteen and don't cook."

Lao Fang gave a thumbs up again!

In the end, Xu Dong ate a bowl of steaming rice porridge nearby and spent more than 200 yuan. This is not drinking porridge, it's simply robbing money.

As for Lao Fang, he was still queuing in front of the grain store. He looked determined to eat yellow croaker tonight.

Fortunately, today's curfew was postponed to ten o'clock.

...

The next morning, the five of them got up at six o'clock.

After breakfast, they took a taxi to the place they had agreed to meet in advance. The owner of the farm was very enthusiastic and personally came out to receive them.

After the greetings, Lao Wang said without any nonsense:

"Boss Wu, is the yellow croaker ready? We have to go back today."

Boss Wu nodded and took the five people to the door of a cold storage: "Please rest assured, the yellow croaker has been processed long ago and can be loaded at any time."

"What about the truck? Is it okay?" Lao Wang asked.

"I have already called. The truck will arrive in half an hour. Why don't you follow me to the office and have a cup of tea." Boss Wu took the initiative to invite.

"Okay, sorry to bother you then."

"It's my honor."

In the office, Boss Wu personally made chrysanthemum tea for everyone. It seems that chrysanthemum tea is not only popular in the north, but also in the south.

After taking a sip of tea, Xu Dong coughed and took the opportunity to ask: "Boss Wu, I'd like to ask, how did you open this farm?"

Boss Wu smiled.

"To tell you the truth, the offshore areas have been completely taken over by state-owned farms. Small private farms like us can only try our luck in the open sea. The higher authorities basically turn a blind eye to the lax management of the open sea. Close one eye."

"Oh, it shouldn't be easy to farm this large yellow croaker, right?"

Boss Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Not only is it not easy, it's like dancing on a knife's edge. The weather factor comes second. The key is the source of feed.

Without high-quality feed, the large yellow croaker grew very slowly. This feed problem almost drove me crazy. Fortunately, there was help from noble people, which helped solve the biggest difficulty. "

Not only Xu Dong, but also everyone else understood instantly, and both parties skipped this topic with a tacit understanding.

"Boss Wu, do you have any remaining production here?" Xu Dong put down his teacup and asked softly.

Boss Wu shook his head without hesitation: "I'm sorry everyone, it's really gone. I didn't even keep it myself. It's a small business, so please be considerate."

After speaking, he bowed his hands to everyone.

"I can understand...I can understand..." Xu Dong responded quickly.

But Boss Wu hadn't finished speaking yet. He immediately explained: "Don't be disappointed, everyone. Although I don't have it here, I know that there is a place that definitely has the goods. You might as well try your luck."

"Where?" Xu Dong was overjoyed.

Boss Wu did not answer, but directly handed over a business card, which not only had a contact number, but also an address.
