Chapter 100: Sold at a High Price

Basket after basket took turns on the scale. Everyone around stretched their necks, wanting to see if there were any other good goods?

It was just disappointing for them. The following were all common ordinary goods, but that large croaker weighing more than 55 jin was also worth them talking about for a long time.

After collecting the receipt, the family of three walked home happily. When Acai made a call later and a buyer came, they would just go to the pier.

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

Ye Yaodong also couldn't grasp how much this fish could sell for at this time. Anyway, just play it by ear.

"Discussing now is just discussing. When people come later, see how much they offer, and we'll see the situation and let him add more."

"Also right, we don't know how much to sell ourselves."

"This fish is counting on its fish glue."

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

When they were about to reach the door, the rain stopped. The originally dark sky instantly became clear again. The sky washed by the rain looked exceptionally blue and 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. After the sky cleared, everyone started moving again.

After Ye Mu got some food for the father and son, she went to the homestead without stopping.

After Ye Yaodong and Ye Fu finished bathing and eating, they hadn't rested for a while when Acai's eldest son ran over to call them to the pier.

Ye Yaodong walked out lazily with his upper body bare and clothes in his hand, "The speed is really fast!"

"After all, it's quite rare. It was also very fast when selling large yellow croakers before. Let's go, go see."

They hurried to the outside of the pier again.

What Ye Yaodong didn't expect was that the person who came was actually an old acquaintance, Hong Wenle. Looking at the shiny motorcycle parked next to him, with tires covered in mud, no wonder he came so fast.

Hong Wenle also recognized him and raised his eyebrows at him, "Eh? It's you?"

"Hehe~ Boss Hong is here to buy the large croaker?"

"Hmm, the people below just said that someone here caught a large croaker weighing more than 55 jin. I happened to be free, so I was curious to come and see."

Acai also smiled and stepped forward, "So Adong knows Mr. Hong."

"Met before."

"Is this fish yours?" Hong Wenle said to Ye Yaodong. He had just arrived and had already seen this fish.

Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "Caught in the afternoon. It's rare for this croaker to grow so big. The large fish glue in its stomach is a good thing. Old people, children, pregnant women, and postpartum women all eat it very well, especially such a large one, it's rare. Boss Hong, buy it back, whether you eat it yourself, make a full fish feast, or give it to others, it's very decent!"

"How much do you plan to sell it for?"

"Hehe, Boss Hong is a connoisseur who knows goods. We fishermen live by the sea and are fighting with our lives. You definitely won't let me suffer, right? In the afternoon, there was a strong man in our village who fell into the sea and is gone..." Speaking of this, the smile on Ye Yaodong's face faded a bit, and he stopped talking.

"When I just entered the village, I heard it at the entrance of the village. Fishermen are indeed not easy. Then, let's do this, sell this fish to me for 500."

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

"Hmm, not little. It's also because the fish glue inside is valuable, and it's rare to be so big, otherwise this fish is not worth this price."

Originally, the larger the croaker, the more valuable it is.

Ye Yaodong also beamed and agreed. The young master of a rich family is indeed straightforward and not short of money.

Several pairs of eyes looked at Hong Wenle with a smile, waiting for him to pay, but he put his hands in his pockets and didn't react. Instead, he was puzzled by their expressions?

"What?"

"Uh... pay money!"

Hong Wenle suddenly realized, "Oh, wait a minute, wait for Wang Maoquan to come and ask him to pay. He is riding a bicycle behind and hasn't arrived yet."

"Oh."

Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

After a while, Ye Yaodong saw the middle-aged man who looked like a human but acted like a dog that he had seen at the entrance of Hongsheng Hotel. He rode a 28-inch bicycle over, and there was a young man sitting behind him.

The young man jumped off the back seat before the bicycle stopped, and dog-leggedly leaned over to Hong Wenle to flatter him, "Brother Le, your motorcycle is really fast, the way it whizzed past is simply too cool..."

It didn't matter if he jumped, Wang Maoquan, who was riding the bicycle, was affected, the car body swayed, and the handlebar was unstable. This was a gravel road. He, with short stature, braked urgently, wanting to get off the 28-inch bicycle, but was stuck in the crotch by the large bar in front of the bicycle.

Hiss~

He gasped, covered his crotch with both hands, didn't even put down the bicycle's foot brake, and fell directly onto the dirt road full of gravel and yellow soil.

Watching Ye Fu's heart twitch, he felt distressed. A good bicycle, thrown on the ground like this, too wasteful.

Hong Wenle laughed out loud, "Wang Maoquan, what are you panicking about? Not afraid of breaking it, can't use it."

Ye Yaodong was also happy, that jumping up and down appearance was too funny.

The young man's little brother held back his laughter and hurriedly ran forward to apologize, "I'm sorry, Uncle Quan, are you okay? Go back and let me ride to carry you."

"Get out, get out, get out~"

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

"Seen, bought, pay money."

"Hey, okay, how much?" He squatted half-way with his legs clamped, and took out the wallet in his pocket...

"500 yuan."

The hand counting the money trembled, looked up in surprise, and looked at Hong Wenle in disbelief, "Ah? 500?"

"Hmm, 500, pay money."

"Was it slaughtered? How can a large croaker be worth 500 yuan no matter how valuable it is?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and opened the foam box again, pointing to the large croaker, "55 jin, the fish glue can be six liang. If one jin of croaker fish glue is calculated at 1000 yuan, this fish's fish glue alone is worth 600 yuan, and this is not small fish glue, this is a 6 liang croaker fish glue, higher quality, definitely more expensive, boss."

"Hmm, pay money, this croaker's fish glue is a good thing."

The young master asked him to pay again and again, and Wang Maoquan didn't dare to disobey his will. He could only take out the money in his wallet with heartache, dipped his finger in saliva, counted it, counted a stack of 50 large yuan, looked at Ye Yaodong, and then handed it to him reluctantly.

Ye Yaodong smiled, took it and counted it, and only gave it to his father after confirming it was correct.

"Okay, let them send it to the hotel tonight, just in time to entertain important guests. Are there any other good goods here? Take them all out for me to see."

Acai hurriedly apologized with a smile, "No, they are all some worthless goods, you definitely won't like them, they have already been transported away."

"Then go back, the road after the rain is dirty, full of mud..." Hong Wenle wiped his leather shoe soles in disgust, then rode his motorcycle and went away.

Wang Maoquan told Acai to send this fish to their hotel now, and then let the young man ride a bicycle to carry him, and also left.

Acai looked at Ye Yaodong and his father with a smile, "Congratulations on making another fortune. The young master of Hongsheng is really generous."

Ye Fu took out a note from the money collected in his pocket, handed it to Acai, and smiled, "Still have to thank you."

He accepted it without being polite, "Easy to say, we are all old acquaintances. Recently, I heard that this Hong Wenle brought back many friends to play, and they were all entertained with good food and drink, so I thought of contacting Hongsheng to ask. If sold to ordinary fish collectors, there would definitely not be such a high price."

"Okay, you go about your business, we're going back." Ye Yaodong was tired to death, didn't want to say polite words anymore, just wanted to go home and lie down quickly.

Ye Mu and the others also finished work and went home to cook dinner. After knowing that a large croaker sold for 500 yuan, the whole family was boiling.

A group of people were noisy, one sentence after another, plus a bunch of children at home, Ye Yaodong's head was big from the noise, so he simply went back to the room and lay down.

But he didn't expect that this sleep would be drowsy, and he didn't know how to wake up without Lin Xiuqing calling him.

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

"Almost, Mom called for dinner, why are you so hot?" Lin Xiuqing didn't know until she touched it. When she touched his arm, it was scorching hot. She reached out and touched his forehead again, "You have a fever! It must be because you were rained on in the afternoon."

"Hmm, no wonder I felt particularly tired when sleeping, drowsy and my head was heavy."

"Go to the clinic to see after dinner, and get some medicine to eat."

After the couple came out of the room, they heard Ye Mu say that Ye Fu also had a fever, and was still scolding him, "It must be because he was rained on for too long in the afternoon, plus he went to sea every day during this period, couldn't sleep well, couldn't eat well, how could his body stand it? Told him to rest for two days, but he didn't listen. Now it's good, the money earned has to be taken to buy medicine."

Seeing Ye Yaodong walk out with a listless spirit, Ye Mu asked him again, "How are you? Do you have a fever or a cold?"

"Also have a fever."

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

Ye Yaodong was more curious about what happened to the person who fell into the sea, and asked it out.

Ye Mu sighed, "What else can happen? Fell into the sea and sank, how to salvage? Can only directly make an empty tomb and hold a funeral. It's just that the orphans and widows left behind will have a hard time in the future. Originally, their family life was quite good, now a bunch of relatives must be eyeing their family's boat."

"Ah? How can this be? So heartless? People are just gone, not so much, right?" Lin Xiuqing couldn't believe it.

"I didn't say now, anyway, have to wait until the funeral is over, but it's certain that relatives are jealous of their family's boat. Those two sons are still small, it will take several years after they stand up..."

Things in the village spread very fast. In just half a day, the women in the village had already discussed it.

Ye Yaodong was also a bit greedy, but unfortunately he couldn't afford it, and he had a small wooden boat. By the time he could afford it, it was estimated that the boat would be gone. ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
