Chapter 467: Selling a Favor

~11 min read 2,096 words

The three father and sons collected together, much faster than he collected alone before.

The remaining two rows of 20 ground cages were collected in a little over half an hour, and the flatbed cart was piled up full, too busy to pick, and some small fish and shrimp were directly pressed underneath.

"Okay, no need to pick, push it back and pick it slowly. Leave these ground cages here first, push these back and pour them out, and I'll come back to organize."

Ye Yaodong moved all the baskets and buckets placed on the ground to the flatbed cart, and by the way, mentioned the youngest son to sit on the edge of the cart in front of the flatbed cart handle, so he could push it back slowly together.

"Dad, I want to sit up too, I want to sit too." Ye Chenghai also didn't want to walk, shouting.

Ye father mentioned him to sit together, two sitting side by side, and their calves were swinging, swinging.

"Sit steady, don't fall," Ye father said again, "You push it back first, I'll organize here first, and watch by the way, don't be washed away by the waves."

Those people picking leaks on the beach saw that they had finished collecting the ground cages and were going to push them back, and those close by all came over to take a look.

"Hey, finished collecting? Going back?"

Ye father smiled and responded, "Finished collecting, originally only four rows of ground cages, just collect for a while and finish."

"Yaodong is really becoming more and more promising..."

"These can sell for quite a few dozen yuan again, just saw quite a few fish, shrimp, and crabs..."

"Make up for the family, the old are old, the small are small, he has many places to spend money as a young man." Ye father chatted with everyone while organizing the ground cages.

"Old saying is not false, this descendant is sensible late, look, A-Dong has become sensible in these two years, and has become so capable."

"Where... still have to have someone calling him to work behind his butt, otherwise he's just standing there, poking and moving."

"Just be diligent, he looks like a smart person, his brain is so active~"

Having someone praise his son, how could Ye father not be happy? Moreover, he also felt that his youngest son was promising, and happily talked with people.

"Dongzi is indeed sharper than the others, his mind is active, and he's quite bold. Things others haven't thought of, he can always be the first to pull off..."

Ye Yaodong just pushed the flatbed cart out again, and heard his father actually proudly praising him to others. He couldn't help but look at the sky, wanting to see if the sun came out from the west? Just didn't see anything.

In order not to disturb their conversation, he silently walked to one side to organize the ground cages.

Still wanted to continue listening to what his father could praise him for, but didn't expect that when people saw him coming, they asked him about his experiences in the city.

The conversation hadn't opened before, and they weren't familiar, so people didn't ask much, seeing that he was busy there. Now that they had chatted with Ye father, they estimated that everything was good to ask.

Ye father was actually very curious about his experiences in the city, and he hadn't been to the city either.

Ye Yaodong simply and casually told them a few sentences, causing them all to yearn.

"City people are rich, and there are bicycles everywhere..."

"We don't know if we have a chance to go to the city to turn around in this life..."

These people chatted, but also followed to help them organize and collect the ground cages. 40 ground cages were finished in no time, neatly piled on the flatbed cart.

The open space in the courtyard was now surrounded by people of all sizes, all listening to the radio while helping to sort. Ye Yaodong came back and saw his eldest brother and sister-in-law were there, and hurriedly reminded them.

"You pick carefully, distinguish the sizes well."

Ye sister-in-law hurriedly said: "We know, we will pick carefully for you."

"Good. Second brother, when will the pigsty be enclosed? Don't you take advantage of the fact that the typhoon just passed and you can't work to enclose it directly?"

His second sister-in-law estimated that she was still feeding pigs in the old house.

"In the morning, I just went to the old house wall to hit half a wall. Mom said to temporarily raise it in that small room first, otherwise it would cost money to buy bricks to enclose a pigsty again. Wait until next year if you want to raise one or two more, then build a pigsty, or wait until next year if the eldest brother and them also want to raise pigs, then build together."

Ye father also said: "If I knew I wanted to raise pigs early, Dongzi was just covering the house, and the materials and workers were all ready-made."

Ye Yaohua smiled. "Didn't think much at the time, this is just a coincidence."

"Just raise it in the old house first, and let your wife go over to feed it every day."

Ye Yaopeng changed the subject and asked: "A-Dong, are these scallops going to be taken to the wharf directly later? Picking so clean, will it be a loss?"

"Not necessarily, picking clean can also sell for a good price. When the time comes, talk to A-Cai about the price. Anyway, the goods at the wharf have all been collected, and he is also idle."

Ye sister-in-law said enviously: "You really sold a lot of money. Yesterday morning, you pulled 100 jin of scallops and sold them for a good price first, and those fish goods, yesterday you went to the city and sold 100 yuan, and now you can sell 200 jin, and you can be worth quite a few dozen yuan."

"This just placing nets, you caught 300 jin of scallops, and they are all alive with meat. We worked hard yesterday, and the two of us only sorted 300 jin..."

So it is said, mental labor is greater than physical labor!

However, his sister-in-law was obviously sour.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and comforted: "We picked quite a lot, but isn't half of it Dad and Mom's? Wait until this last wave of goods is sold, and we have to calculate how much money was sold, and give Dad and Mom half."

"Even those fish goods have half for Dad and Mom. Calculated this way, it's not much more than you, sister-in-law. Wait until we take it to the wharf to sell, the price is definitely not as good as yesterday."

Ye sister-in-law heard this and felt comfortable in her heart. "It should be divided half to Dad and Mom. They have been busy with you all the time, and they have contributed a lot. Yesterday morning, they also squatted there and picked."

Lin Xiuqing nodded. "That's what I said, it must be divided. We divide money to Dad and Mom on time every month for placing nets."

This must be said clearly, otherwise they would think that the couple took advantage of the two old people, thinking that the old people worked for them for nothing.

There were many people and great strength. In total, there were only 200 jin, and there were only a few empty shells inside, so sorting was still very fast.

All picked, there were less than ten jin of empty shells on the ground. Still, placing nets was efficient and labor-saving.

Ye Yaodong saw that he had been busy for half an afternoon, and the sky was already dark, so he planned to make a quick decision, and called his eldest brother to help lift the goods onto the flatbed cart, preparing to send them to the wharf now.

By the way, take the seafood that can be sold for money together. These were picked almost on the beach just now.

Ye father washed his hands and came over. "I'll go with you."

Ye Yaodong nodded.

On the way to the wharf, he suddenly thought, his father didn't seem to have asked him about buying a shop?

Could it be that the village hasn't spread yet?

This intelligence bureau's news is so insensitive today?

Or are the few brothers next door really that obedient?

He just mentioned it casually, asking them to keep a secret, and they really kept their mouths so tight? Even didn't tell their wives at home?

If this was known by a wife, the village would definitely spread it in less than half a day.

Ye Yaodong looked at his father several times on the way, confirming that he didn't know. If he knew, he would definitely scold him, and wouldn't have mentioned it until now.

Actually, even if it spread, he didn't care. The money was in his pocket, he could spend it however he wanted? If they wanted to scold him for being stupid and having too much money, then let them scold. Later they would be envious to death.

Ye father saw him looking over frequently, and didn't speak for a long time, and was also a bit puzzled.

"What are you looking at, always looking like this? And don't speak, if there's anything, just say it directly."

"Ah? Nothing, just found that you seem to have become younger recently."

Ye father touched his face, feeling a bit happy, but still said insincerely: "All old, what young or not young, isn't it all the same."

"I'll let Lin Xiuqing make a sun-proof hat for you to wear?"

"Treat me as a young man like you?" Ye father thought for a while and said, "That's fine, just make one."

Hehe~

Ye Yaodong pushed the flatbed cart to the outside of the wharf, and A-Cai and the two acquisition points next door were surrounding there calculating accounts, holding paper and pens, and the abacus was clattering.

"Old partners, collecting goods!"

The three turned their heads and looked at the same time, and were all surprised: "Still have?"

"Ah! It's A-Dong, this is your ground cage placed by the shore, right?" A-Cai hurriedly walked over, looked around, and fiddled with it at will. "Still you pick carefully, looking at it makes people feel at ease."

On the other side, A-Gui also walked over to take a look. "Heard you sent the goods to the city's wholesale market yesterday?"

"Yes, since we have many goods and pick slowly, by the time we finished picking, the queue was already several hundred meters long. Just right, Brother Zhou next door had been to the city's wholesale market when he was running the boat, so we few neighbors added it up, and thought about going to try our luck."

"Quite good at finding, actually have a way to know to go."

"Isn't there someone leading the way?"

A-Cai waved his hand. "Push it inside to weigh! All the goods were collected last night, others only took ten or twenty jin today, yours is the most."

"How much money per jin? I picked these carefully, big is big, small is small."

"Today big is 2.5 jiao, small is 2 jiao."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows. "So little? Do you know how much money I sold yesterday for big, and how much for small?"

"Brother, you also have to look at the place. We have to make money when we turn it around."

Ye Yaodong touched his chin. "I heard a piece of news in the market yesterday, I think you should be moved."

He wasn't sure if they knew? Anyway, it would be known sooner or later, so it's better to tell them in advance and sell a favor.

"What news? Does the news in the city have anything to do with us?"

Listening to this, it should be that they didn't know.

"Do you know that the city is building a seafood wholesale market?"

A-Cai frowned, puzzled. "Heard of it, but what does this have to do with us? To tell you the truth, we don't usually transport all the goods to the market in the city, it's too far."

"Heard the new wholesale market is recruiting merchants, selling shops, 3000 yuan each! Are you sure it doesn't have anything to do with you? If you are not interested, then pretend I didn't say it." ===== CHAPTER 468 =====
