Chapter 506: Buying Specialties
After determining to go back, Ye Yaodong was also very happy.
Lying on the boat at night, looking at the stars in the sky, he was very relaxed. After being out for so long, he really missed home.
After drifting outside for a period of time, he missed the warm atmosphere at home more, and missed the group of children at home surrounding him, calling him dad, calling him third uncle, doing this and that. He used to think those children were annoying, but now he misses them dearly.
He also missed his wife. Occasionally, what he heard on the phone were her various exhortations and concerns. When he told her that he had remitted money back to her, her happiness was only for a moment. What she conveyed on the phone was more of her worry, asking him to come back early.
The old lady was the same. When talking on the phone, she could hear her wiping tears, and her voice was different.
Coming again, having these relatives is enough. He doesn't want much.
Thinking like this, he wanted to go back immediately. Some were eager to return home.
The people next to him were also tossing and turning there. When they really wanted to go back, everyone was a bit unable to sleep.
Ye Yaodong was also calculating the money earned during this period there. He remitted 2,000-plus for the first time, and he also gathered 2,000 yuan for the second and third times respectively and transferred it back. Now he has more than 1,100 on hand.
For more than a month, it rained intermittently for more than ten days, plus they changed the place to stay every three days, and finding the village also wasted a lot of time, and earned a lot less money.
And now that it is approaching the end, the price has dropped severely. There are also 200-plus not settled there.
Calculate it, coming out for more than a month, less than two months, he also earned nearly 8,000 yuan. When the time comes, give his father 800 yuan.
As for wages, because it was not sure how long to stay, it was calculated by the day, 3.5 yuan a day for high-priced short-term workers, the wages of three people added up to about 500, and then give them two red envelopes each.
Eating and drinking didn't spend much money, they were all caught from the seabed. The oil money was spent 300, which was because they didn't run far. It cost 60-plus yuan when they came, and the oil fee for catching in the surrounding area for one day would be a little less.
Continue to earn for two or three days, calculate it, his net income also earned about 6,500.
Thinking about it like this, he was also quite satisfied. At least the risk of this trip was not in vain. The money for the two shops was earned back, and a little money could be left.
His older brother and second brother would be less, two people shared, it should be 2,000-plus each. However, looking at their appearance, they were already very satisfied.
Uncle Pei also earned a lot.
Ye Yaodong calculated the accounts while tossing and turning, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he became more and more unable to sleep. The people next to him had already sounded snoring, but he was incomparably clear.
Before going to bed, he was afraid of moving his brain. The more active the brain, the harder it is to fall asleep.
Undoubtedly, he actually suffered from insomnia all night.
It's not just calculating accounts, he also thought about the past and present life, silently comparing the already completely different trajectories in his heart. People, sure enough, still have to work harder to change the status quo.
By the time he fell asleep in a daze, the sky was already slightly bright, but no one called him up. Later, he was awakened by the dazzling light. Not far from his side, several jellyfish had already been piled up.
"The sun is drying your butt, and you just know to get up? The dark circles are so heavy? Did you go to be a thief?" Ye Fu asked casually.
"Where did you go to be a thief? Could it be that you stole to the boat next door? Didn't you get beaten to death by my brother and Uncle Pei? It's just that you are going back, too excited, can't sleep..."
"Yeah, persist for two more days."
Going out, safety is the most important.
Immediately returning, they were also very careful. When they needed to fetch fresh water, they went to nearby villages to fetch a few buckets, and they changed villages in turn, by the way, exchanged fish and shrimp for some vegetables, or bought some melons and vegetables when selling goods in the town. The next two days were considered stable.
On the day of the end, after Ye Yaodong got the settlement money, he immediately gave them wages, and specially went to the town to buy a piece of red paper, gave them a red envelope of 30 yuan each, which made them almost unable to find the north.
The two older brothers and Uncle Pei were the same. Everyone came out together, so you can't have it and I don't? This kind of thing must be the same for everyone, and they must be the same as others.
Not to mention earning so much, they also felt that it was okay to be generous once.
Chen Jianian also said happily: "Finally going back, everyone's harvest this trip is quite good, coming here is the right choice, no other village has heard of anyone catching as much as you. The money for selling goods today, I will ask for it tomorrow, and settle it before leaving the day after tomorrow."
"Fine, then you have to run one more trip tomorrow, and we will eat together tomorrow night."
"Good, good, good~ let me take advantage of it again..."
"Everyone wins, earn money together."
"Then will you sell jellyfish blood tomorrow? If not, stay for one more day?"
Ye Yaodong shook his head. He wanted to fly back now. He didn't want to stay outside for a moment. He had stayed long enough and didn't want to stay for another day.
The jellyfish blood harvested today will be dried tomorrow and brought back to eat. Uncle Pei also said he would bring it back for his old sister to eat during confinement.
Jellyfish blood is quite good to eat during confinement.
"We plan to keep it back, so we won't bother to sell it again. We have been running around outside for more than a month, so we can't eat a bite ourselves. When the time comes, I will bring some for you to taste."
"Many thanks, many thanks..."
Ye Yaodong looked at the others again, "Make do on the boat tonight, go to the town tomorrow morning, take advantage of the lively morning market to buy something to bring back the day after tomorrow, and then I will go to the guest house to open a few rooms, everyone find a bathhouse to take a good bath and then eat, rest well tomorrow night, and raise your spirit to go home."
"Good."
"Fine."
"You arrange it."
Everyone had no opinion. They didn't wash much in the isolated island these days, and they didn't wash much. In the hot weather, they sweated all over every day, and there was already a smell on their bodies. But everyone was the same, and no one had to dislike anyone.
Ye Yaodong disliked himself very much.
When they arrived in the town the next day, walking on the street, they were disliked by passersby...
Self-esteem was severely hit!
Everyone saw many disgusted eyes, and some people pinched their noses, fanned the wind around their noses with their hands, and all showed disgusted expressions one after another.
"Seems to be quite smelly."
"Not seems, it's already rancid."
"If this is squeezed into the crowd to go shopping, it should be scolded, right?"
"Hard to say, maybe thought we were begging from somewhere, definitely to be scolded."
Ye Yaodong also disliked himself, "Forget it, go to the boat first to take down the change of clothes, let's find a bathhouse, wash clean first."
"Good, it also saves being disliked."
"I have never walked on the street and been so disliked by passersby, it's quite embarrassing..."
"Who says no?"
Several people ran to the boat in a hurry, took the clothes after the first time, brought money with them, and then asked people with thick skin, and asked how to go to the bathhouse with the disgusted eyes of others.
Ye Yaodong, except for being disliked as lazy, eating soft rice, and being a waste, has never been disliked as dirty... smelly...
This feeling is more embarrassing to him than being disliked as a waste. Others scold him as a waste, and he won't be embarrassed.
Entering the bathhouse, he hurriedly rubbed hard. The skin was red for a large area, but the results were also very gratifying. The gray-black dirt was rubbed out for a long strip, and a pile fell down like snow.
He estimated that if collected, he could rub out an elixir of Hou Yi. It's just that he didn't know if Chang'e dared to steal it.
Usually, washing for five minutes is considered a long time. Today, everyone rubbed for half an hour, and then walked out of the bathhouse one after another.
"Finally comfortable, feeling like washing a bath, lighter by several jin."
"Me too, feeling like rubbing out several jin of dirt, the whole person is refreshed."
"It's still better to be clean, washed clean, the whole person is comfortable..."
"Go, go, go, this can go shopping..."
"Walk faster..."
Now they can walk into the crowd with brisk steps. Although they didn't use Rejoice, they also found confidence after washing clean.
Ye Yaodong also looked around and strolled on the street. Early in the morning, there were quite a lot of people on the street, speaking various languages, mostly local dialects.
Various carts, bicycles, and many people carrying shoulder poles were squeezing in the crowd. He simply walked to the edge.
For shopping, he didn't want to squeeze in the crowd, and it wasn't that women loved shopping. Anyway, just stroll around, buy some mooncakes, and some specialties.
Approaching Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many mooncakes on the roadside stalls. Locally, they are called "meat cakes, meat tops". Each one is bigger than the face. I heard that there is meat inside, as well as red silk green silk, winter melon strips, peanuts. The skin is crispy, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and a salted egg yolk is placed in the center.
Don't know how the locals eat so strangely. A cake is salty and sweet, combined together, I heard it is very delicious.
There are also pork dregs, which are also quite famous. Ye Yaodong bought some.
Seeing that there are twists for sale, he also bought a bag, and what osmanthus cake, brown sugar cake, nine-layer cake, he also accepted them all.
Anyway, there are many children at home, and he is not afraid of not finishing it. Besides, coming out for a long distance, he has to bring some specialties from here to his father-in-law's house when he goes back.
Calculated like this, he has to buy ten or so mooncakes, his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law, and several of his friends, Acai also has to send him a copy.
And Lin Jishang, Secretary Chen... some relationships must be maintained well.
He counted with his fingers, and turned back to continue bargaining, buying a little more.
"Why do you buy so many, Dongzi? Those relatives don't need you to send..."
"Not sending to relatives, with you, where is it my turn to do human feelings? I am bringing it to my father-in-law's house and several friends. Anyway, I earned money, bring a copy to friends, so they won't say I'm not loyal."
"Then it's too much to buy..."
"Not much, wait for me to continue to see what else, there are many children at home, and I have to bring something for my wife..." ===== CHAPTER 507 =====
