As if he didn't need money, Ye Yaodong walked back and forth in the market, holding more and more things in his hands.
At first, I thought I could just buy something to eat and take it home. Coming from the era of lack of food and clothing, everyone has the highest acceptance of food. As long as it is food, there is no one who does not love it, especially children.
There are quite a lot of random specialties here, and he always welcomes everyone who comes. When he sees something they don’t have locally, he buys some of everything. He makes money, and of course he has to spend it well.
Fortunately, when they went out for a walk, they all carried a basket, but now his is also full of food, and there are a few small things to play with.
Everyone also put a lot of things in each basket, including food and fun. Even Father Ye actually bought a colorful silk scarf for the first time. The three brothers looked a little funny.
Ye Yaodong also took it out from his father's basket and put it in his hand and looked at it, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... Dad, I didn't expect you to be quite interesting? Do you know how to bring a silk scarf to my mother?"
Father Ye blushed, and quickly took it from his hand in embarrassment, "I bought mine, what does it have to do with you? You have to turn over everything, why are your hands so mean?"
"Have a look and see if you still can't read it. I'm here to give you a reference as to whether it looks good or not. Is it suitable for my mother? I'll also give it to my second sister-in-law to take a look. Women are more accurate in seeing these things. Otherwise, if you buy something that doesn't look good, it's a waste of money and you'll have to suffer.
A scolding."
"Do you have to worry about it? Who said I bought it for her? I can't buy it for your grandma, right?"
"Then if my grandma has it, but she doesn't, you are even more ruined."
"Why are you so long-winded? You are the only one who talks a lot. Why don't you finish shopping quickly and go back? You are still wandering around here, and the basket is full." After speaking, Father Ye quickly walked a few steps to avoid being teased again.
Ye Yaodong looked at his father's panicked back and found it a bit funny, but it also reminded him that he couldn't just buy food. He also began to pay attention to those flashy women's things, and also noticed that there was an alley where people were also crowding around.
The water is blocked.
Didn't you hear that there is only one street in this town? This alley is quite lively? He walked over curiously.
As soon as he got closer, he understood instantly.
What is sold in this alley is smuggled goods, similar to theirs. The trading in port towns is very arrogant and blatant, which is equivalent to semi-public sales.
However, it's none of their business, he just came to buy something.
He squeezed into the crowd and walked around, and saw a lot of silk scarves of various colors, as well as woolen coats, polyester cloth, nylon umbrellas, tapes, tape recorders and a lot of other things. He was itching to see it.
The items he sells are more varied and wild than they sell there. It may be that he hasn't gone shopping for a long time and is out of date.
Although he didn't think there was anything attractive about that silk scarf, he still picked a sky blue floral one and a red large one. The blue one was for his wife and the red one was for the old lady. The old lady likes bright colors the most.
, festive.
He also bought a beige woolen coat and a nylon umbrella. When he saw the leather shoes, he also wanted to buy a pair for each of them, but he didn't know what size they wore.
At this time, he felt that he was incompetent again. Fortunately, he saw someone selling crutches in the corner, and his depressed mood was relieved again. The old lady was in need of a crutch.
When he saw various colored hairpins, he was so itchy that he bought a dozen more. He hadn't seen them for more than a month. His daughter is more than five months old, so she should be able to wear one in her hair, right?
As for the two sons? As long as they have enough to eat.
It was almost noon when he came out from shopping in the alley, and he spent almost 100 yuan in total. He probably would have been scolded when he went back to talk about the price. Anyway, if it was cheaper then, it should be fine with a half discount.
Ye Yaodong thought happily.
The others had already finished shopping and were standing at the intersection, leaving him alone.
Looking at his basket, his hands were full, and there were also coats. Everyone was surprised, but they could also understand that after making a lot of money, they would definitely be willing to buy a few good things back.
Father Ye saw that he couldn't take it in his hand, so he didn't say anything. He even stepped forward to help him get it, "Have you bought enough? Just leave when you have bought enough. You have almost bought enough, you can't buy more."
If you buy it again, you will be talked about again."
"That's enough, that's enough. Let's go eat. By the way, we can bring the seafood on the boat and send it to the store for processing. Then we can calculate more money."
"Let's go then, go to the guest house to open a few rooms first, and hide these things in the guest house?"
"Okay."
Chen Jianian smiled and said: "You go first, I will pay you the balance and then come over for dinner."
"Okay, okay..."
Everyone was very happy, and a group of people went to the guest house excitedly.
The guest house these days looks a bit old, but it is already considered one of the best houses in the town. In the past few years, only public officials could afford to stay there when they were on business trips. At three yuan a night, it was not cheap, and it was not affordable for ordinary people.
Started.
After completing the check-in formalities and putting down their things, they walked non-stop to the hotel.
This jellyfish fishing trip ended successfully, and everyone was in a good mood. They will go back tomorrow, and there is no need to work today. The sumptuous meal kept them full from 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
After drinking a lot of liquor and several kilograms of liquor, I stumbled back to the guest house to sleep after being full of wine and food.
Ye Yaodong also returned to his room with a drunken look. He had a room by himself, his eldest brother and his father had a room, his second brother and his sister-in-law had a room, and the others had two large shops to squeeze in, so there was no extra.
There were only so many rooms available because they went there early.
He checked and found that all the things he bought in the afternoon were still in good condition and had not been stolen, so he felt relieved.
As a result, as soon as he lifted the quilt, he saw several hairs on the bed. The hygiene in the guest house was not that good these days, and he was too lazy to bother. The cashier at the counter only used his nostrils to look at people, which was the same as the counter girl at the post and telecommunications office.
A fight.
Anyway, he is also an old fisherman who runs a boat, so he is not that particular. It is good enough to have a bed to sleep on and not hear other people's snores.
For the past month, he slept in the same room as his eldest brother and his father. Not to mention how lively it was at night. He didn't know if he was snoring or not. Anyway, his father and his eldest brother were louder than the other.
Sleeping on a boat was even more terrifying, and it was even more of a symphony that night. Five or six people slept without stopping at night, for fear that one of them would be quieter than the other, and he was afraid that none of them would be able to breathe. Fortunately, there was the sound of the waves, which covered it up.
Can sleep well.
He patted the bed casually, picked up the hair, shook the sheets, and lay down.
The sound insulation effect is also very poor, and the voices walking up and down the corridor are a bit noisy. Fortunately, he drank wine and was asleep.
We went to bed early at night, and everyone woke up early the next day. Although it was rare to get a good night's sleep, everyone was eager to get back home. At four or five o'clock, when the sky just broke, everyone was excited and excited about each other.
There was a knock on the door.
Ye Yaodong also stretched and climbed up to open the door, "Dad, are you all up?"
"Everyone is getting up, packing up, and going back as soon as the sun comes up. We have to drive the boat for more than ten hours on the way. It will be four or five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrive. If the wind is not smooth, we may have to drive two more hours.
Hour."
"Okay, wait for me, you go downstairs first."
…
Ye Yaodong stood on the side of the ship, with his hands on the edge of the ship, looking at the vast blue bay, the fiery morning glow, and the town gradually receding behind him. His heart was surging, and he was finally returning.
Fortunately, this trip was a near miss. Next year I will be more experienced and have another way to make money.
"Phew~ I'm finally home~"
"Yes, I'm finally home." Everyone was also very happy.
“Let’s fight again next year!”
Chen Jianian said happily: "I hope I can benefit from you again next year."
"Definitely, we can't move forward without you."
Ye Yaodong also made a calculation in his mind. This guy came to Moonlight to extract commissions from their three ships, and he extracted thousands of pieces. It was a bloody profit.
It will be even better if there are a few more ships next year.
The money they earn from working so hard every month is not as good as what he earns from just making a few phone calls.
If you have connections, you will be more awesome, and it will be easier to make money than they are, just like these country bumpkins.
Chen Jianian waved his hand politely, "Isn't that... you will definitely not be able to hide the money you earned on your glorious trip back. It should have spread throughout the village by now. There will definitely be many ships next year, and it's time to follow you here."
"Besides, this is risky. No one can predict the weather and wind and waves. If it comes out and it rains for a month, it will be over."
Moreover, small boats cannot follow even if they want to, and there are only a few larger power boats in the village.
"How can you make money without taking risks? The brave will die from starvation, and the timid will die from starvation."
"It's early. There's no need to think about next year now. Anyway, it's good to make money this year."
The eldest cousin smiled and said: "Let's see if we can save some money next year and jointly build a boat to follow you here."
"Okay, as long as you are not afraid of losing your money, there will be someone to take care of you if there are many people, and you are not afraid of fighting."
They all went out with him and saw with his own eyes that their three boats made so much money. It would be a lie to say that they have no ideas. It is only human nature to have ideas. They are all his cousins, and he will not be stingy. As long as they
Be willing to take risks.
And maybe that trench will be discovered next year, and then a bunch of boats from the surrounding villages will be there to salvage. If they have more boats, they will have an advantage, otherwise they will be doomed.
"As Comrade Chen Jianian said, there are risks in everything you do, and you must be mentally prepared for this." The second cousin also said that the two must have discussed it in the past few days.
"Then you should work hard. If you can't buy one, you can ask the master to make a new one. You will never lose money if you have a boat, and you can always make money back slowly."
"That's it. In the past few years, my family had a large population and life was not easy. I couldn't afford to buy one."
"It's better now, and it will be better in the future."
Ye Yaodong didn't expect that he could influence a large number of people around him, but thinking about it, it was inevitable.
When a person is gaining momentum, many people want to follow him and take advantage of him.
