A happy sale
Under the bright sun and carrying a bucket of sea chicken feet, Ye Yaodong was not willing to walk.
It was a ten-minute drive from their village to the town, but it took an hour to walk. On this hot day, he was already sweating profusely when he reached the roadside.
But it was difficult to wait for passing cars, so he could only watch while walking. Fortunately, when he went out, he picked a taro leaf to cover the bucket, otherwise the sea chicken's feet would have been sunburned.
As we walked, we actually reached the town without even seeing a car.
His legs~
He simply sat under the shade of a tree on the side of the road and took a rest. Unexpectedly, a tractor drove up behind him.
"Hey, I won't come early, I won't come late. I waited until I got there before a tractor came."
God wanted him to walk on purpose, right?
Half angry.
After drinking two sips of water, he patted his butt and stood up after only sitting for two minutes, and walked directly to the Hongsheng Hotel. It was only about 8:30 at this time, and he didn't know if he had gone to work yet.
Forty years later, the Hongsheng Hotel is still in the same location, but it has been renovated to be more in line with modern people's aesthetics and more magnificent.
At this time, the Hongsheng Hotel seemed a little retro to him, but it was already the best in the surrounding counties. Some hotels in the county did not look as big as the Hongsheng Hotel, and there were many things to do in the Hongsheng Hotel.
After all, their town is a port town, and there are quite a lot of Taiwanese businessmen coming and going.
Ye Yaodong was dressed in dust, wearing Jiefang shoes and carrying a bucket, but he didn't feel inferior. He arrogantly planned to go in and ask, but who knew that as soon as he opened the door and walked in, he was stopped by the security guard inside.
After he explained the reason, the security guard asked him to wait at the door while he called the person in charge.
Unexpectedly, a dog-looking man in a suit and leather shoes came. He glanced at his bucket, said "Buddha's hand?" in question, then turned around and left.
"Hey, wait a minute, this is not a Buddha's hand, this is a sea chicken's foot!"
"What are chicken feet? Sea duck feet? Don't make trouble!"
Ye Yaodong glared at his back and sighed inwardly. Forget it, it was a trip in vain. He sold it as a Buddha's hand. He might as well take it back and eat it himself, and let him taste what "seafood from hell" is."
Ham in the ocean”.
Just as he was carrying the bucket and about to leave, the door was pushed open and a young man came out.
"Wait a minute, comrade, are you selling sea chicken feet?"
Ye Yaodong turned around and his eyes lit up. Isn't this Hong Wenle, the crown prince of Hongsheng? Then he looked at the two foreigners walking out behind him. He was overjoyed. He knew he was here!
"Yes, I risked my life yesterday to dig up a bucket of sea chicken feet, but no one in a hotel as big as yours knows the stuff."
Two foreigners behind him also came up to him and looked at the contents of his bucket. They excitedly chattered a bunch of words that he didn't understand.
He looked left and right, and he could only tell from their expressions that they were very happy. Hong Wenle was also communicating with them with a smile on his face. The man who looked like a dog and didn't know what he was doing was standing behind him, nodding and bowing.
He waited patiently and thought to himself: My sister, can't you speak Chinese to him first? Let's talk about the price first. It's very hot under the sun, okay?
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he walked under the eaves.
"Wait, don't leave, I want this."
"How much is it? If the price is too low, I won't sell it."
"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. I just didn't expect that in our small place, there are still people who know about sea chicken feet. You know a lot about it."
"It's okay. How much do you want to pay?" Ye Yaodong said calmly.
He is not a stranger, and he does not expect any benefits from others. There is no need to please others, as long as he sells this bucket of goods.
"This stuff is the best on the rocky beaches of Spain, France and Portugal. The Costa da Morte in northwest Spain is the best place to produce chicken feet. I don't know if our chicken feet are good?"
Huh? What the hell?
Ye Yaodong frowned and listened to what he said, but he didn't say how much it was, which made him extremely depressed.
"Okay, you'll know after you taste it. Anyway, there's only so much. If you don't want it, I'll take it home and eat it myself."
"Ah, no, I want it. How much do you plan to sell it for? How many pounds do you have here?"
"It's 5 pounds and 2 taels here. It's cheaper for you. One pound is 20 yuan. Let's take these for 100 yuan. The price will definitely be higher than this abroad."
He randomly called out a price. 20 yuan now is equivalent to 2,000 yuan in later generations. He didn't know how much this thing was worth now. He only knew that in a few decades, this good quality could be sold for several hundred euros per pound.
It's just him who has been there all night. He can just call out the price and pay the price on the spot. This thing can't be bought in the market. I just don't know if the young master from a rich family will counter-offer.
A hundred dollars is just a drop in the bucket for a rich man. These two foreigners seemed to be his friends, and face was much more important than money.
He just saw this!
"Okay, give it all to me."
Hong Wenle simply took out the money, ordered ten large unity sheets for him, and then asked the person behind him to mention it directly to the kitchen.
Ye Yaodong happily took it and said, "Thank you very much. I hope you know the goods. I need to clean the bucket and return it to me. Although it is not valuable, I will need to fill it with something later."
"Okay, I'll send it over next time if there are still chicken feet. If there are other rare things, that's fine too."
"OK."
Just give me the money and you can talk about anything!
Ye Yaodong walked happily down the street with a huge sum of one hundred yuan in his arms, his heart bubbling with joy and he didn't feel like he was being burned by the sun.
Seeing a fried pancake stall on the street, he bought one. After walking such a long way, the bowl of porridge in the morning had long been consumed.
I took a bite and it was fragrant, crispy, oily and so fragrant.
"Give me a piece of cake too, and make a cut in the middle for me!"
He wanted to eat it with a sandwich, it would be more delicious.
"Fry some more pancakes for me, a few...16."
It's a dime each, which is only one dollar and six. I just made a huge sum of money, so I treat it as a reward to my family, one for each person.
Before the family is separated, it is not easy for his family to eat. The other children are drooling when they see it. It is better to have one for each person. It is just a bite to eat and it is not expensive.
They were all wrapped in newspapers and placed in clean empty buckets. He saw that the stall selling cakes next door was a little bit restless.
A few days ago, the two packets of noodles, tea and cakes were eaten by several children, and his wife didn't eat a bite. He remembered that she liked them very much.
I checked my pockets and bought one separately. When I got home, I put it in my room and took it out when my child went to sleep!
Feeling happy in his heart, he looked at the shops one by one, looking for a shop selling cloth, but he saw only one selling food.
Chapter completed!
