Chapter 528

~8 min read 1,473 words

The last package was much larger.

Song Tan carried the things over: "8 pounds of dried fish and 2 pounds of dried shrimp, send it to Wanhe Garden in the Imperial Capital."

Brother Xiao Zhang thought for a moment: "There are several of your customers in Wanhe Garden, which household is it?"

This really has to thank the Fengfeng Express brother in Wanhe Garden; his twisting of the lid in the elevator instantly attracted three customers to Song Tan's house.

When these three customers showed off and bragged, the customers developed into three to the power of n... Now, in Wanhe Garden alone, there are almost 19 customers!

Song Tan:...

Which household was it? She had forgotten too, let her find the record...

Song Tan's house was lively, and other families in the village were also equally lively.

For example, Zhou Maozhu's family.

He had eaten a round belly at the old Song family's house, with a ten-jin large grass carp in his left hand and a ten-plus-jin large watermelon in his right hand, walking slowly back home under the sun, and the fish was still jumping around!

"Oh my! Is this the fish that sells for 40 a jin at Song Sancheng's house!"

Maozhu's wife was startled and couldn't help complaining: "You too! Knowing that their fish is so expensive, you still took such a big one!"

Zhou Maozhu was also embarrassed: "I said I didn't want it, but Sancheng insisted on giving it. He even wanted to give two!"

As a result, none of the people who helped dared to take them—

Goodness! If it were the usual large grass carp, let alone two, they would have taken three calmly!

But the way they snatched fish yesterday and today, 40 a jin snatched like four cents, how could everyone have the face to reach out now? You, Song Sancheng, still have a loan of millions yourself!

The key is that they tasted the flavor at noon, and it was truly worth it!

In the end, after some pushing and yielding, each person shyly carried one and went home, feeling both awkward and uneasy.

Isn't that right, Zhou Maozhu was explaining: "Sancheng said that things from his own family, selling them is one thing, but since we are helping out, don't mention money among ourselves."

That's what Song Sancheng said; catching fish is not light work, and since people came to help without mentioning money, the thank-you gifts from their family naturally shouldn't be calculated in terms of money.

As for the watermelon... since the words were already out, the watermelon wasn't going to be sold anyway, so giving it out for everyone to taste was also a sentiment.

Maozhu's wife was still a bit awkward: "Then you could have at least carried two crucian carp... If he were to sell this one, it would be four or five hundred!"

"And this watermelon, I don't know the price, but it definitely can't be cheap..."

She muttered, but her hands were busy taking the fish to put in the water to raise.

Zhou Maozhu could only respond: "Next time there's something at his house, we'll all go help..."

However, Maozhu's wife soon became happy again: "Just right, our son said he's coming back tonight! You soak the watermelon in the pool, and we'll stew the fish and eat watermelon tonight!"

She also sighed: "This child, he's quite lucky!"

Zhou Maozhu was stunned: "It's not a holiday, why is he back?"

"Look at what you're saying!" Maozhu's wife glared at him: "Our son started work on the seventh day of the lunar new year, and he hasn't been back once! It's not easy to save a few days of annual leave, so it's normal to come back once while there are fewer people!"

The Qingming holiday is short, the May Day tickets can't be bought, and there are many people during the Dragon Boat Festival... If it drags on, I'm afraid it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival!

Zhou Maozhu muttered: "Then he has to go to such a far coastal city to work..."

The high-speed rail takes more than six hours, isn't that far? The round-trip travel expenses are over a thousand, Zhou Maozhu felt heartache just thinking about it!

He discussed with his wife: "When he comes back, why don't you ask the child, why don't you find a job in a nearby city? The housing price in that city is too expensive! Even the cheap ones are several tens of thousands per square meter, how can he afford it?"

Let alone the son having worked there for three years, even after thirty years, the old couple wouldn't be able to save up for a down payment.

But a grown man, wanting to marry a wife and have children, can't be without a nest, right?

Although people in the village chat and joke that maybe a local girl will take a fancy to him... but jokes are jokes, and everyone knows in their hearts, why would a local girl take a fancy to him?

In short, Zhou Maozhu doesn't understand any big development principles; he just knows that the housing price there is too expensive, and he can't afford it! It's better to come back and find a smaller city nearby, where the parents can at least provide a down payment...

To say a selfish word, the two of them are getting old, and if they really have a headache or fever, it's convenient for the child to be closer.

Speaking of this, Maozhu's wife was also worried: "What to say? He felt that we were binding him when we mentioned it during the New Year..."

Zhou Maozhu thought for a moment:

"How about... let's find out how many days he's staying at home tonight? If he can stay for a few more days, I'll ask Tantan later to see if there's anything to say about his job?"

He whispered to his wife: "You don't know, things at Tantan's house are so expensive! That's because she took out a loan of millions and invited Professor Song, who has been on the news, to come and guide them personally before the results came out!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but feel proud: "Just today, I even clinked glasses with Professor Song!"

Of course, it was just that one glass, and then everyone buried their heads and ate wildly, and couldn't care about the wine anymore!

The last jin of wine, the seven or eight old men at the table didn't even finish it.

Maozhu's wife instantly gasped: "Took out a loan of millions?! This little girl looks like she's smiling every day, how can she be so capable!"

But then again, being able to take out a loan of millions, knowing big experts, and raising fish that can sell for 40 a jin...

Then Tantan must be truly capable!

Someone so capable, what if she has an understanding of her son's industry? She'll go find Until Wu Lan to talk tomorrow! I heard their family is also looking for people to transport tea branches and strip leaves, she'll go tomorrow too!

High-speed rail station.

Zhang Yanping pulled his suitcase and ran wildly out of the station:

"Starving to death, starving to death! Hurry, hurry, hurry, go home and eat!"

The taxis at the entrance of the high-speed rail station were leaving one after another; the three of them had just stood there when a young man followed behind them.

Just as the taxi stopped, Zhang Yanping hurriedly poked his head out and asked: "Master, going to Yunqiao Village, Qingxi Town, how much?"

【The stable and long-running novel app, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, is a source-changing app that all old bookworms are using,】

Whoa! Long road!

The master immediately became spirited: "Get in, get in, 300 yuan, okay?"

"No!" Zhang Yanping refused flatly: "Chartering a car in the city is only 200!"

The master was also unhappy: "Our high-speed rail station is naturally further away... How about this, 280—there are four of you, it's not expensive when calculated!"

"Who said four, there are three of us!" Zhang Yanping didn't yield an inch: "220!"

"That..." the person behind spoke.

"260!" The master also refused to lower it by that much: "It's the same to sit with three!"

In the end, after some pushing and yielding, the master sighed: "Alright, alright, 230, if we don't leave, the ones behind will urge us. But I have to take that young man behind you—young man, where are you going? Just give 30 if you're going to the city."

The young man smiled slightly: "Coincidentally, I'm also going to Yunqiao Village."

Master:...

His eyes became strange: You big young man, in order to bargain, you even used this strategy?!

Zhang Yanping:...!
