Chapter 87: Sold Happily

Facing the big sun and carrying a bucket of goose barnacles, Ye Yaodong was not happy to walk.

It took ten minutes to take a car from their village to the town, but it took an hour to walk. In this hot weather, he was already sweating profusely as soon as he walked to the side of the road.

But the passing cars were hard to wait for, so he could only look while walking. Fortunately, he picked a taro leaf to cover the water bucket when he went out; otherwise, the goose barnacles would be sunburned.

Walking and walking, he actually walked directly to the town without seeing a car.

His legs, yo~

He simply sat in the shade of a tree by the road to rest his feet first, but didn't expect a tractor to drive over from behind him with a clatter.

"Damn, didn't come early, didn't come late, waited until I walked here, and then a tractor came."

God wanted him to walk on purpose, right?

Angry to death.

After drinking two sips of water, he sat for only two minutes before patting his butt and getting up, walking directly to the Hongsheng Hotel. It was only about 8:30 now, and he didn't know if they were at work yet.

The Hongsheng Grand Hotel forty years later was still in the same location, but it had been renovated to better meet the aesthetics of modern people, and it was even more magnificent.

The Hongsheng Grand Hotel at this time looked a bit retro to him, but it was already the best in the surrounding counties. Some hotels in the county town didn't look as big as Hongsheng's facade, and there were many tricks to play inside Hongsheng Hotel. After all, their town was a port town, and there were quite a few Taiwanese businessmen coming and going.

Ye Yaodong was dressed in gray, wearing liberation shoes and carrying a bucket, but he didn't feel inferior. He swaggered and planned to go in and ask. Who knew that as soon as he pushed the door in, he was stopped by the security guard inside.

After he explained the reason, the security guard asked him to wait at the door first, and he went to call the person in charge.

But he didn't expect a person in a suit and leather shoes who looked like a human but acted like a dog to come. He glanced at his water bucket, asked a question about Buddha's hands, and then turned his head to leave.

"Hey, wait, this is not Buddha's hands, this is goose barnacles!"

"What goose barnacles? Sea duck feet? Don't make trouble!"

Ye Yaodong glared at his back and sighed in his heart. Forget it, it was a wasted trip. Selling it as Buddha's hands, it was better to carry it back and eat it himself, and let him taste what is called "seafood from hell," "ham in the ocean."

Just as he was carrying the bucket and planning to leave, he didn't expect the door to be pushed open, and a young man came out.

"Wait, comrade, are you the one selling goose barnacles?"

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look, his eyes lit up. Wasn't this Hongsheng's crown prince Hong Wenle? Looking at the two foreigners following closely behind him, he was happy in his heart. Someone who knew the goods had come!

"Right, I dug a bucket of goose barnacles yesterday at the risk of my life, and your hotel, which is so big, actually no one recognized the goods."

The two foreigners behind also leaned forward to look at the things in his bucket, excitedly talking a lot of things he couldn't understand.

He looked left and right, and could only identify from their expressions that they were quite happy. Hong Wenle was also communicating with them with a face full of smiles. The man who looked like a human but acted like a dog and didn't recognize the goods just now also stood behind and nodded and bowed.

He waited patiently, complaining in his heart: Damn it, can't you talk to him in Chinese first? Talk about the price first? It's also very sunny in the sun, okay?

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he walked toward the eaves.

"Wait, don't go, I want this."

"How much money? If the price is too low, I won't sell."

"Money or not is not the point. It's just that I didn't expect that in our small place, there would be someone who knows goose barnacles. You know quite a lot."

"It's okay. See how much you're going to pay?" Ye Yaodong said indifferently.

They were not on the same path, and he didn't expect any benefits from them. It wasn't worth pleasing people, as long as he sold this bucket of cargo.

"This thing is best on the rocky beaches of Spain, France, and Portugal. The orte sea area in northwestern Spain is the best place for goose barnacles. I don't know if our goose barnacles are good?"

Huh? What kind of thing?

Ye Yaodong frowned and listened to him talk for a while, but he didn't say how much money, which depressed him to death.

"Good or not, you'll know after tasting it. Anyway, there's so much. If you don't want it, I'll carry it home and eat it myself."

"Ah, don't, want it, want it. How much are you planning to sell it for? How many jin do you have here?"

"There are 5 jin 2 liang here. I'll give you a cheaper price, twenty yuan a jin. Take one hundred yuan for these. It definitely costs more than this abroad."

He shouted a price casually. The 20 yuan now was equivalent to 2000 yuan in later generations. He didn't know how much this thing was worth now, he only knew that a few decades later, high-quality ones could sell for hundreds of euros a jin.

It was just that this one was overnight, so he just shouted the price. Asking for a sky-high price, and paying back on the spot, this thing couldn't be bought in the market. He just didn't know if the young master of a rich family would bargain.

A hundred yuan or so was just splashing water for a rich family. He just aimed at this point!

"Fine, give it all to me."

Hong Wenle took out the money very simply and gave him ten large unity notes, then asked the person behind him to carry it directly to the back kitchen.

Ye Yaodong happily took it. "Thanks, you still know the goods. Wash the bucket clean and return it to me. Although it's not worth money, I still have to load things later."

"Good, if there are goose barnacles next time, send them over. If there are other rare things, it's also fine."

"Fine."

Giving money is quick, everything is easy to talk about!

Ye Yaodong carried a huge sum of one hundred yuan and walked happily to the street, feeling happy and bubbling in his heart, and didn't feel the sun was shining anymore.

Seeing the fried oil cake stall on the street, he bought one by the way. Walking such a long way, the bowl of porridge in the morning had long been consumed.

Taking a bite, it was fragrant, crispy, and oily. Really fragrant.

"Give me a light cake too, help me cut a knife in the middle!"

He wanted to clip it to eat, it was better.

"Fry a few more oil cakes for me, a few... 16."

One dime each, that was one yuan six. Just earned a huge sum of money, so treat the family, one for each person.

It was all wrapped in newspaper and put into the cleaned empty bucket. He saw the pastry stall next door and was a little eager to move.

A few days ago, those two bags of noodle tea cakes were divided and eaten by several children. His wife didn't eat a bite. He remembered she liked eating them quite a bit.

Touching his pocket, he bought one separately, put it in the room when he got home, and took it out after the children slept!

He was happy in his heart, looking at the shops one by one, wanting to find a cloth shop, but seeing them, they were all shops selling food. ===== CHAPTER 88 =====

He felt his pockets, bought one separately, and put it in his room when he got home, planning to take it out only after the children were asleep!

He felt wonderful inside, looking at the shops one by one, wanting to find a fabric store, but all he saw were shops selling food.
