Chapter 1034: Magical Fish (10,000 words, bonus for top rank)

Ye Yaodong smacked his lips at the small amount of wine left in his cup, drank it slowly, then set it down. He stole a glance at Lin Xiuqing and smiled, reaching out to wave his hand twice before her eyes.

"Let me tell you, such a good thing is only worth it if we keep it for ourselves. If we sell it, we're just benefiting others. Who do you think I'm working so hard to earn money for? Isn't it so the whole family can eat and drink well?"

"We can't just work ourselves to the bone, let others eat the good stuff, while we're stuck eating chaff and vegetables, right? Makes sense, doesn't it? So, good things must be kept for ourselves."

"If you think you're so reasonable, why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you hide it sneakily?"

To think he could say it with such righteous indignation; she was truly impressed by his thick skin. It was clearly his fault, yet in his mouth, it always sounded so justified, even carrying a bit of logic, making it seem almost plausible.

It made it seem as if they were the ones making a fuss and being stingy.

"No, when did I hide it sneakily? I killed it openly. You yourself said two hours ago that a fish struck by lightning is quite rare. We aren't short on that bit of money right now, so keeping it for ourselves to nourish our bodies is just right."

Lin Xiuqing had shot herself in the foot and glared at him in anger.

"I was talking about keeping a fish worth a few dozen yuan for ourselves; that's nothing. How was I supposed to know this fish was worth over a thousand? If I had known it was worth over a thousand, would I have said that? You did it on purpose. When I said that, you deliberately didn't tell me the fish's value, nor did you tell me what kind of fish it was."

Ye Yaodong feigned an innocent expression. "I also thought it was rare, just like you. Besides, the really expensive part is the fish maw. The value of this fish isn't much different from what you said. I've already saved the fish maw, what else do you want?"

"Let me tell you, we absolutely won't go wrong by keeping this fish maw. Don't look at it as me killing the fish; I killed it for the right reason. The fish maw made from this kind of fish bladder gets more expensive and smoother the older it gets. The longer it's stored, the better."

"It doesn't make much sense for you to sell the fish and the maw together for a thousand yuan in one go; you'd suffer a heavy loss. You can only make money by keeping it in your hands. This thing becomes more valuable the longer it's kept, you know?"

"Only by holding onto good things can they become more valuable later. Besides, isn't it better to keep this fish that leaped over the dragon gate and was struck by lightning for ourselves? Are we really going to sell it for a few dozen yuan? What goes into our own stomachs is truly ours. Isn't strengthening our bodies better than having a few dozen extra yuan?"

"A healthy body is something money can't buy. I see that after you drank a bowl of fish soup, your whole face is glowing."

"Stop spouting nonsense. Do you think you can just gloss over this with your glib tongue?"

Lin Xiuqing's anger had indeed subsided a little because of what he said, but it wasn't so easy for him to get away with it.

At this moment, the old lady spoke up: "Dongzi is right. This fish maw won't spoil if stored; the older it is, the better, and it becomes more valuable the longer it's kept. Ten or twenty years ago, a small one was only worth a few dozen yuan, and a good-looking one was worth a little over a hundred."

"I didn't expect that now, hearing you two talk, it could actually be raised to a thousand yuan. Wouldn't it be even more valuable in the future? I just looked, that fish maw is very large, and this quality will definitely be the best once dried."

"The origin of this fish is so famous, it will definitely be more valuable if kept in our hands. It's good that Dongzi didn't sell the fish directly; just keep it and exchange it for money when needed later. Such a large fish is rare; once sold, it's gone."

Ye Fu was so stunned listening from the side that he stopped arguing with Ye Mu and stared straight at his mother.

What is called double standards?

Damn it, is it necessary to have such a big difference in attitude toward your son and your grandson?

The energy she used to hit him just now, he couldn't tell she was an eighty or ninety-year-old lady; she looked like she wanted to break his legs, not holding back at all. Fortunately, his clothes and pants were thick.

She cursed at him, saying he had lived to a ripe old age only to have it go to the dogs, that he only knew how to eat, didn't know how to stop Dongzi, and scolded him until he was bloody-headed, calling him a wasteful old guy, a rotten old man, without any mercy.

Now she turns around so quickly?

And "Dongzi is right!!!"

"It's good that he didn't sell the fish!!!"

"Once sold, it's gone!!!"

Even a face-changing act isn't as fast as hers.

And it wasn't over yet; the old lady didn't feel there was anything wrong with what she said at all.

"After all, it was struck by lightning; it would be a pity to sell it for just a few dozen yuan. It's better to keep it for our own family to nourish our bodies. You are all working so hard, busy every day without a moment to rest, and the little ones are growing, and studying is also brain-consuming, so it's just right to eat more."

Ye Fu's face turned even darker. Just a moment ago, she scolded him for only knowing how to eat, and now she's urging them to eat more.

"Just keep the expensive fish maw, and it's not really a loss when you calculate it. Let's just leave it at that for today; don't argue anymore. It's already eaten, and such a large fish can be eaten for many days; it's all good meat."

"That's not what you said just now. You just scolded me until I was bloody-headed and didn't hesitate at all when hitting me with that cane."

The old lady was righteous and not guilty at all. "That was just now, and now is now. Just now, I was only focused on feeling the loss and didn't think it through. Now that Dongzi has said it, I feel that what he did is also right."

"Anyway, the valuable fish maw is saved, so it's not wasted. The fish meat is eaten, so be it; it can be eaten for a long time. Won't we have face when we talk about it? You can still brag when you're old that you've eaten a fish struck by lightning."

"You can brag as soon as you go out in a while. There are so many people in the workshop; it will spread throughout the village in no time."

Ye Fu was almost angered to death by his own mother; she was being unreasonable even to him.

Ye Mu had been arguing with Ye Fu just now, and after debating for a while, her anger wasn't as great. Now, listening to the argument between the grandmother and grandson, she also felt it wasn't unacceptable.

Anyway, it was already eaten, and the good fish maw was saved. Subtracting the fish maw, the fish was only worth a few dozen yuan. If she had really sold the fish for a few dozen yuan, she would definitely have felt the loss too.

If it hadn't been killed, she would definitely have sold the whole thing directly. Now that it's like this, she can only reluctantly accept it, after all, she also ate it.

"Forget it, forget it, it's already eaten. I hope it can really strengthen our bodies, otherwise I'll peel your skin. The fish maw must be kept; A-Qing, keep a close eye on it, don't let him waste it again."

"If this is really wasted again, your grandfather will have to crawl out of the ground and strangle you. I don't know how I gave birth to such a wasteful thing."

Ye Fu also glared at Ye Mu. She had been scolding him so fiercely just now, and now she was so easy to talk to, turning around and being persuaded by the few words of an old and a young one.

"What are you looking at? Are you planning to vomit it out?"

"If you have the ability, why don't you vomit it out first?"

"Oh my, stop arguing. Good things are eaten, and you still want to argue; be content. I think it's eaten quite well; the old lady's face is rosy, and she looks like she's suddenly become several years younger. My mother is the same; her complexion looks better. This is an effect that no amount of face cream can achieve."

"Is it because of anger?" Ye Fu said the blunt truth without hesitation.

The smiles that had already climbed onto the faces of the old lady and Ye Mu instantly froze, and they both turned to glare at Ye Fu.

"Can't even let people speak the truth? It's clearly because the fish soup had wine in it, that's why your faces are red. You brag as if you've eaten some divine medicine; as soon as you open your mouth, you just brag blindly."

Ye Fu scanned them with a depressed face, then simply put his hands behind his back and walked outside, out of sight, out of mind.

He was the one who was wrong inside and out.

Clearly, he hadn't done anything, yet it was made to seem like it was all his fault.

"Dad, remember to take the quilt off the boat and dry it; you just said so."

"Dry what? It's about to rain, without a boat, how can I go get it?" After speaking, he had already stepped out the door.

Ye Mu was still thinking about the fish they just ate. "How many jin was the fish stewed at noon? 100 and how much? How much is left? Has it been put away? It's just that the weather has cooled down these few days, a bit colder, otherwise, it's too big, can't finish it, and it won't keep."

"The 4 buckets in the corner are all it, all covered with ice cubes, it should be fine to eat for four or five days. The one in the basin is the fish head, tail, and liver. The fish head is kept to cook tofu soup tomorrow, and the fish tail and liver are kept for red-braising tonight."

"So much, we can't finish it ourselves. I only shared a little with friends earlier. Big brother and second brother don't have ice cubes there, so it's not easy to keep, so I didn't give much today. I'll give them a few pieces tomorrow. Do you want to see if you want to send some to relatives and friends?"

"Send what? This good thing is kept for ourselves to eat, it can't be bought with money, once eaten, it's gone. Other people haven't given us anything good, why keep sending it out? Only with coming and going is there a relationship. Keep it and eat it slowly. If you really can't finish it, salting it is the same; it can be kept for a long time and won't spoil."

It was already good enough that he didn't go door-to-door to take it back, and you still want to send it? Send what?

It's all said to be able to strengthen the body, and you still want to send it? Our own family thinks it's not enough.

Ye Yaodong pouted, it didn't matter, not sending it was even better.

If it weren't for the fact that he usually saw his mother often sending some miscellaneous fish and goods to those aunts of his, he wouldn't have asked this redundant question.

However, even if relatives aren't sent any, some must be sent to Director Chen's side. Taking advantage of the fact that it's not raining yet, and he has nothing to do in the afternoon, the workshop doesn't need him to work at all, it's just right to make a trip, taking advantage of the fact that it was just slaughtered this morning, it's the freshest.

Ye Fu and Ye Mu walked out one after another. Lin Xiuqing had nothing more to say to him, just glared at him, then tidied up the table, and by the way, urged the children to eat faster, not to dawdle.

"Pick up all the rice grains on the table and eat them. It takes forever to eat a meal, dawdling. Everyone else has finished eating, only you few."

The children immediately buried their heads in hard work, some holding chopsticks, some holding spoons.

Ye Xiaoxi even stood up while digging with her spoon, her hands on the table, her face buried in the rice bowl licking it.

Seeing her appearance, Pei Yu also followed suit, supporting herself on the table with both hands, also wanting to stand up and bury her head in to eat.

"What's the rush? Can't you let them eat slowly?" Ye Yaodong supported one with each hand, letting them sit down.

"Come, Dad will feed you, Uncle will feed you."

Both children turned their heads and looked at Lin Xiuqing in unison.

Lin Xiuqing also glared at the back of Ye Yaodong's head, he was used to being the good guy.

She was too lazy to talk, there was still work waiting for her at the workshop, so she went out directly.

Everyone said it was going to rain, but she didn't see the sky darken, but she still had to prepare early. There was still a pile of dried fish that hadn't been collected, and a lot were also dried on the open space outside the two workshops, which also had to be moved in. At least there was a canopy on top of the workshop to cover them.

There was still a lot of work for her to do, how could she have time to stay here and wait? If he wanted to be the good guy, then let him be busy.

"Dad, can Brother Ahai and the others still go to our workshop to earn wages?" Ye Chenghu asked while biting his chopsticks.

"Did they ask you to ask?"

"Hehe, I heard you came back right after school, they wanted to go to work, but then thought about how stingy the aunts were a few days ago, not giving them a penny, so they didn't want to benefit the aunts again."

"Did your two aunts not scold and drag them to go?"

"No, they just came back a while before eating, the aunts aren't home."

"Oh, then there will be an argument in a while."

"I'll go take a look." Ye Chenghu immediately put down his chopsticks and ran out in a flash.

There was no one at home to help cook for Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao, so when they were eating, there was no noisy movement coming from next door. It was probably because they hadn't finished eating yet, so there was no fuss.

Seeing Ye Chenghu run away, Ye Chengyang also put down his bowl and chopsticks, quickly licked the table, swept all the rice grains on it into his mouth, and then ran after him.

"If you don't give a sweet date, you still want people to work, who would do it? Children can be happy for half a day if given a piece of candy, and can work hard for you without money. After the fuss two days ago, you want to order people to work again, how could they be fooled again."

"Look."

After Ye Yaodong finished feeding the two children, the noisy movements next door came one after another.

He also followed out to see.

"I won't do it, you are a liar, I don't want to be fooled."

"That's right, I don't want to be fooled either."

"Dead children, what's the use of giving birth to you? Let you help do some work, and you still talk about money, money, money..."

"Then we'll help Third Uncle for free~"

"Let's go, tell Third Uncle and Third Aunt we don't want money, just buy us candy, buy us little man cards."

"I want cards too! Just let Third Uncle buy me cards."

"Go, go, go... Third Uncle is here..."

"Third Uncle..."

"Can!" Ye Yaodong agreed decisively. "You go to work, I'll buy you cards, buy you instant noodles to eat, buy you soda to drink."

"Great, great~"

"That's great, Third Uncle, I want to eat instant noodles, I want to drink soda."

"Me too, me too."

"Go, go, go, hurry up and work, help work and you can eat instant noodles, drink soda~"

The children were all in high spirits, running towards the workshop, and his own two also followed.

Ye Xiaoxi was also shouting, "Wait, wait for me~ wait~ wait~"

Ye Yaodong picked her and Pei Yu up, one under each arm.

"You two don't join in the fun, go back and follow Grandma."

Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao stood at the door depressed, having no choice, and could only let the children at home negotiate with Ye Yaodong themselves.

The two children under his arms were waving their limbs and shouting, "Don't, don't, want to wait, don't want Grandma."

"Grandma will be sad if you are like this, Grandma likes you so much, didn't she watch you two burying dolls there this morning? Continue."

"Don't, don't, want to wait for sister~"

"Let me tell you, if you bury your dolls in the soil and plant them, you can harvest a pile of dolls in the autumn." Ye Yaodong put them in the yard and closed the yard door.

"Ah? A pile of dolls?" Ye Xiaoxi tilted her head, looking up at him innocently.

"Yes, spring planting and autumn harvesting, you can harvest a pile of dolls. Look at the field over there, didn't you plant a lot of seeds two days ago? In a few days, they will sprout and grow into the tall green vegetables next to them. You can also plant the dolls."

"Will the dolls grow up?"

"Uh, yes."

"Grow as tall as me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right."

"Plant dolls, plant dolls~ go plant dolls~" Ye Xiaoxi happily pulled Pei Yu and went to find the dirty dolls they had just thrown at the door.

After fooling the children, Ye Yaodong went into the house to deal with those fish fillets, feeling that it was a bit extravagant to just carry a bucket over.

Director Chen and his wife were just two people, so he thought about taking half, took out a bucket, divided half, and specially padded the ice cubes a bit thicker, making it look more substantial.

Calculated by net weight, this small half-bucket of fish meat also weighed about ten jin, enough for two people to eat for three or four days, four or five days is not a problem.

Originally, after removing the head, tail, and stomach, the remaining net weight was only about a hundred jin. He had already sent out more than twenty jin this morning. This time, taking about ten jin, and they cooked a few jin at noon, the rest was probably only enough for his family to eat for four or five days, so there was no need to salt it.

"Where are you taking these that you divided?" The old lady asked hurriedly after tidying up, seeing him squatting there tinkering. "Your mother just said not to send it to others and keep it for ourselves."

"There's still so much left for ourselves, these are to be taken to the county to send to the leader, the one who came to our house to eat a few times before."

"Oh, then it should be, it should be, this good thing must be sent to others to taste, you also have to tell them well, don't let people think it's ordinary fish meat, that will make us look insincere."

"Of course, I will definitely brag fiercely."

"Then do you want to wait until tomorrow to send it? You just got home this morning, and you haven't sat down to rest for a while, catch your breath, and you've been busy killing fish. You just ate a meal, and you have to run around again, how tired, why don't you rest for a while, take a nap? It's not too late to send it after waking up, it's so fresh, with ice cubes, it won't spoil for a few days."

"That's fine, it's not too late to send it after waking up from a nap."

He also really felt quite tired, although he slept until the early morning, he had a bit of a cold at the time, was dizzy, and the machine was ringing in his ears, so he couldn't sleep well at all. It was also okay to make up for a nap at noon.

After all, when Pei's father wakes up in the afternoon, they still have to settle the accounts, and it might be evening before they wake up, and only after dinner will they have time to settle the accounts.

After settling the accounts, when it gets dark, Lin Ji will also come over, and they still have to talk about those canned fish piled in the corner, and have to count them with him, so he didn't know how long he would be busy, how long they would have to talk.

This made it very necessary to make up for a nap at noon, so as not to be unable to hold on at night.

He pressed the ice cubes, and after laying them flat, he put the bucket in the corner, covered it with a broken rag, and waited until he woke up to send it.

After washing his hands and looking at the two children digging soil and planting dolls at the door, he also went back to the room to sleep with peace of mind.

It was just that what he didn't expect was that when he woke up and went to the workshop for a stroll, the whole workshop was spreading that Brother Asheng's wife was pregnant, and it was because she ate the fish he sent over this morning?

That's outrageous!

His mother was also there bragging eloquently.

"That fish was struck to death by lightning because it failed to leap over the dragon gate. You don't know how good this fish is, eating it can strengthen the body and eliminate all diseases. Look at Asheng's wife, she only married in a month, ate it in the morning, and said she was pregnant in the afternoon, fortunately she didn't fall and get hurt just now."

"She is really blessed by the Bodhisattva, she fell just now, didn't fall into any trouble, fortunately the barefoot doctor said the child is still there, otherwise it would be a sin."

"Yes, she didn't even know she was pregnant, too careless."

"That's just pregnant, only a month, how could she know?"

"Is the fish in your house really that magical? Just finished eating at noon, came to work and fell, and found out she was pregnant, and the child was actually saved."

"Yes, it's very easy to lose the child if you fall like that, didn't expect it to be so tenacious."

"Who says it isn't, that's why it's said that eating that fish is nourishing, both adults and children are nourished, otherwise the child just got on, and it's very easy to lose it if you fall like that."

Ye Yaodong listened with black lines all over his head, outrageous.

It was clearly an accident, a coincidence.

These rural women can really talk, and his mother can really brag.

"Asheng's mother made a fuss this morning, brought a bowl of talisman water and forced people to drink it, saying that if they drank it, they would definitely give birth to a son. Now it's good, she's already pregnant, no need to make a fuss."

"This pregnant, I don't know if it's a son or a daughter, who knows if she will bring a few more bowls of talisman water, saying that if it's a daughter, it can turn into a son?"

"Really can toss... If talisman water is useful, why would people die, and what do doctors need? Everyone drinks a bowl and lives forever."

"That's also true."

"Does your house still have fish? Can I buy a jin from you?"

Ye Yaodong hurriedly refused, "Not selling, none left, this is just a coincidence, how can it be so magical? It's better to worship the Bodhisattva and pray for the Bodhisattva's blessing."

"Regardless of whether it works or not, everyone hasn't seen this fish struck by lightning, haven't even heard of it, and is curious to taste it..."

"Not much left, sent a lot to the leaders in the city at noon, the rest is only enough for our own family to eat." He brought up the matter in advance to block people's mouths.

"Don't think about it, I heard A-Cai say this morning that this fish is worth hundreds or thousands of yuan, and A-Dong didn't sell it, how could he sell it to us? We can't afford it, what can we use to buy it?"

"Hundreds or thousands of yuan? My god, it's so expensive and he didn't sell it? Still kept it at home to eat?"

Ye Mu was originally a little shaken when she heard everyone wanted to buy, but when she heard hundreds or thousands of yuan, she immediately dismissed it.

How much money can you sell these women?

Hundreds or thousands of yuan and he didn't sell it, and you want to sell a few cents or a few yuan of fish meat here, isn't that sick? It's better to keep some for ourselves to eat, maybe it really strengthens the body, what's the use of a few cents or a few yuan?

"It made my heart ache to death, this wasteful child, I only knew after eating, really everything goes into his mouth, doesn't think about how expensive things are. I only knew after eating, I wanted to hook my own throat and vomit it out to restore it."

"A-Dong has succeeded, you are enjoying happiness, you can eat everything, good things are eaten as if they don't cost money, you will definitely live to a hundred years old."

"Envious, among our group of old sisters, you are the one living the most comfortably now..."

"Isn't it, eating public food, son is successful and glorious, a bunch of grandsons and granddaughters, and don't need to bring them yourself, this life is as comfortable as it gets."

"Where is it? Hahahaha, don't I still have to help work here? My son just loves to toss, tosses everything, sigh, don't know when he can get his money back, spends money like water, makes all the decisions himself, doesn't discuss with his wife..."

Ye Yaodong was too lazy to listen to his mother bragging, so he left directly. Anyway, his mother and A-Qing were both working and watching here. After doing it a few times, they were very familiar with the assembly line.

It's just that I didn't expect Brother Asheng to be quite fast. He married his wife before the year, and today is just after the first month, just the first day of the second month, and she was immediately diagnosed as pregnant for one month. He didn't work less hard.

Being single for a long time is different, a person over 30, also quite hardworking.

It's also good that she didn't fall into any trouble. The baskets of fish in the workshop have ice cubes in them, and the ground is wet after the ice cubes melt, which is easy to fall. When I come back in the evening, I have to tell my mother not to call the old ones to work, and not to call pregnant women to work.

He knows too well how hard women have to work at this time. Some pregnant women can go up the mountain to cut firewood with a seven or eight-month belly. Going to the workshop to work is even less for these women.

Today is a lesson, and it can also make his mother remember. If something really happens, they can't afford to pay, and he has to let his mother tell those women to wear non-slip rain boots.

He thought while walking back, preparing to go home and take that bucket of fish to the county to send.

Unexpectedly, just as he got on the motorcycle, he saw Brother Asheng walking over in a hurry.

He also asked with concern, "Heard your wife fell, how is it? Is it okay?"

Ye Yaosheng smiled and rubbed his hands, "It's okay, it's okay, just said there is a little bleeding, need to stay in bed to protect the fetus, at least after three months can get out of bed."

"That's good, that's good, that's too careless, she didn't even know she was pregnant, fortunately it's okay, otherwise my sin would be great, now she has to lie in bed to protect the fetus. Don't let her eat those strange things your mother brought, she's already pregnant, don't let a good body be ruined by messy eating."

"I know, my mother is unreliable, I also see it clearly."

"Hmm, is there anything you came for?"

Ye Yaosheng looked at the motorcycle enviously, then said embarrassedly: "I was thinking that the fish you brought at noon was quite good, so rare, I think it should be quite nourishing, so I wanted to come and buy a few more pieces from you."

"It doesn't matter if it's a bit expensive, as long as the adults and children eat well, after all, she needs to eat something good to nourish herself now."

Ye Yaodong nodded without saying much, and got off the motorcycle directly.

"Okay, easy to say, I'll go in and get it for you, just fell, really need to nourish well, eat something good."

Ye Yaosheng thanked him repeatedly, and followed him into the yard. A pile of dogs were circling around his feet, sniffing, so he didn't follow in, but waited at the door.

Ye Yaodong weighed it roughly and took out another 5 jin of fish meat.

No matter what, it was in his workshop that she fell, fortunately the person was okay. If something happened, he couldn't afford to pay, so it was right to send a little more to nourish them.

Therefore, when Ye Yaosheng asked him how much money, he didn't say, and stuffed it to him directly.

"No need to give, give what? Own brothers, besides, it was in my place that she fell, it's right to give a few jin as nutritional products to nourish the mother and child, don't be so polite."

"This is a good thing..."

"Only good things are sent, bad ones, I'm embarrassed to send bad ones, take it, don't be so polite. Just pregnant, you still have to get more good things for your wife and children to eat, there will be many places to spend money later, it's not easy for you to save money, keep it, no need to give."

"How can this be... you already gave it at noon..."

"Go, go, I'm in a hurry to go out, so I won't dawdle with you here, you take it back first."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the county to send fish meat to the leader, good things must also be sent to the leader, people are quite good to me, we must have a conscience as people."

Ye Yaosheng nodded repeatedly, "Right, right, should be, then I won't disturb you, and won't delay your time, I'll take it back first, you go first, this money or not, let's talk about it later."

"Hmm."

After sending the person away, Ye Yaodong got on the motorcycle again and drove away under the envious and jealous eyes of the villagers.

His nap time was a bit long, too tired, when he woke up it was already 4 o'clock, and now it was almost 4:30.

Afraid that riding a bicycle would be too slow, he chose to drive the motorcycle directly. By the time he reached the county, Director Chen would probably be off work in no time.

He just waited downstairs in the staff building, and could come back immediately after sending it when people came back.

Of course, the bragging that should be done must be done, and it must be done fiercely.

And he could also take advantage of the fact that Brother Asheng's wife was pregnant to add a bit of mystery.

Don't say, most people really believe in this set of mysterious things.

Adding a bit of mystery can double the value of things.

Director Chen was also very surprised to receive such good things. Listening to his bragging, he also felt that it was better to believe it than not, and also believed that the fish meat should be top-tier.

"Then what about this fish maw? Didn't you say the fish maw is more valuable, worth a thousand yuan? Shall I buy it from you? This kind of fish is rare."

"Ah, the fish maw has already been sold by my father, what a pity, I was sending fish meat to a friend at the time, not at home, my father sold it as soon as he turned around, almost angered me to death."

"Sold? Sold to whom?"

"A Taiwanese businessman, my father asked the person receiving goods at our pier to help contact, people came to see it, also confirmed that the fish head was scorched by lightning, and bought it directly."

Director Chen saw that he was talking with nose and eyes, and looked regretful, so he believed it and felt regretful.

"What a pity, good things were bought by outsiders. Next time if there are such good things, tell me."

"Okay, okay, definitely."

"You come up with me, I'll give you the money for this fish, this fish is also very rare, I can't take it for nothing..."

"Look at what you said, can I take your money? This is specially for you to eat, it's not a top-tier thing, you eat it for fun, if it can really strengthen the body, that's even better."

Fortunately, he was witty and said the fish maw was sold directly.

Otherwise, if the leader asked to buy it, could he really take people's money?

If he really took the money, it would be over.

But he was reluctant to send it out like this, after all, he didn't have any tricky things to do that required asking for help, and needed to send such top-tier things, that was worth a house.

Sending these local specialties for daily relationship maintenance was enough.

With coming and going, the news of the land he gave last time might be able to let people get promoted and get rich.

"Then how can I be embarrassed, this is better than any nutritional product, listening to what you just said, it's rare."

"No matter how rare it is, it's still fish, how can I take your money? If I really take your money, what kind of person would I become? Director Chen has been quite good to me usually, I treat you as an elder to respect, if you give money, it will be estranged, how can I be embarrassed to come to the door in the future."

Director Chen smiled extremely satisfied, "Then okay, then thank you, then I won't be polite to you, just like you said, I also treat you as a junior, I see you more often than I see my 3 sons."

"Good, good, good, as long as you don't find me annoying, I will come to visit you every three days."

"Okay, okay, don't keep talking downstairs, come up and sit for a while, by the way, eat a meal."

"No, no, it's enough to send the things, it's about to get dark, I have to go back early."

"What's the rush, just eat here, it doesn't affect it when it gets dark, just ride slowly on the way back, be careful."

"Thank you, but really no need, I just came back from the sea today, just arranged the work at home, and immediately rushed to send it while it was fresh, home is still waiting for me to settle the accounts."

He didn't lie this time.

"Oh, still settling accounts, still have things to do? Then forget it, then next time, I won't keep you, so as not to delay your things, taking advantage of the fact that it's not dark yet, it's good to go back early, so as not to see clearly on the road."

"Hey, good, then I'll leave first."

"Drive slowly."

"Okay, okay, also, thank you, the motorcycle is very easy to drive, very convenient."

"Hehe, that's good!"

Ye Yaodong waved to Director Chen, started the motorcycle, and after saying two polite words, drove away.

The mountain road is not easy to drive, this is a sidecar, and you have to pay attention to safety at the turn. If you can go back before dark, of course, you have to go back when it's bright.

He rushed back home, it wasn't dark yet. It's spring, and the daylight time is gradually lengthening.

As soon as he stepped into the house, his father immediately said: "Everyone is waiting for you to settle the accounts, why go to the county at this time, isn't it the same tomorrow?"

"It shows more sincerity to go today, isn't it the same to settle the accounts after dinner? Is Uncle Pei awake?"

"Yes, you just went out, and he came over with Old Zheng to settle the accounts, who knew you went out."

"Then settle it after dinner."

"We have already calculated the rough accounts just now, A-Qing also took out the cargo list to compare, wait until after dinner and calculate it in front of you, if you see no problem, you can settle it according to what they calculated before."

"Okay. The cargo that Uncle Pei was asked to keep twice, the payment hasn't been settled yet, did you settle it with the public first just now?"

"Yes, that cargo list should have been settled with the public first, it was already settled just now while everyone was there, and given to the public."

"The cargo from the trip back this morning, did you settle it with A-Cai's side?"

"Gave it, before coming to us, they went to A-Cai's side to get the money first, we are all going to settle the accounts, it's impossible to owe him."

Ye Yaodong nodded, that also saves trouble, saving accounts hanging there, clearing it one by one is best.

"Eat first, eat first, just waiting for you to come back, say whatever you have while eating." The old lady smiled and brought out the dishes kept warm in the pot one by one.

He also went to wash his hands first, and then continued to ask his father at the dinner table, what they calculated just now, how much money each share is divided into after deducting expenses this month.

"If you don't count the miscellaneous goods kept for you, each share is divided into more than 520 yuan, after all, went out three times after the year, yesterday's time can also be said not to count, only one day and immediately came back, after deducting oil money expenses, only earned five hundred yuan, this is because we went ashore to sell, the price was sold higher."

"That's not bad, equivalent to today's cargo sold, each share divided into 50 yuan more."

"The first two times, each share divided into four hundred seventy-eighty is also quite good."

"Isn't it, that's also because the cargo was a lot the first two times."

Ye Fu thought for a while and said: "The miscellaneous goods sent back after the year are several times more than before the year, you should also give a little more money, can't just give 10 yuan to mean it..."

"I know, I think give it by weight, anyway, it's also pulled back, then just weigh it at the pier. One jin is 4 li, 10,000 jin is 40 yuan, after all, it's useless miscellaneous goods, like those worthless toad fish, it's only one cent per jin when collected on the fresh-collecting boat."

"The first two trips brought back more than 10,000 jin, plus a little today, then we calculate 100 yuan to the public, then there should be nothing to say, right? It's definitely enough to subsidize the oil money consumed by the extra weight, and can earn a little more."

"In this way, each share, everyone can divide 10 yuan more, it's also okay."

Ye Fu pondered for a while, and felt it was okay.

"Then wait until after dinner to settle the accounts and say it, see what everyone's opinion is, there should be no opinion. Our own family occupies nine shares."

"Then you still have to calculate the accounts clearly."

"Hmm. That hair fish now don't know how it's spreading in the village, spreading magically, a bunch of people want to ask us to buy, I pushed it all, saying it was basically sent to the leader."

"Oh right, I also told the leader, the fish maw was sold by you, don't leak it."

"Ah? What?"

"The leader wants fish maw, I just said so, saving trouble, and I don't want to send it."

How did he carry a black pot again without knowing it?
