Chapter 555: Trouble in the Car
"It's winter, so I can't go there many times, and the small boats can't catch much. The bigger power boats like Uncle Lin can only go offshore and catch thousands of catfish at a time. But don't worry, we'll catch it tomorrow. Sell everything you have at home first and send everything to the army. Sell what you can sell at once to save trouble."
"Then it's sold out. If you still want it, we'll go to the village to collect it. I guess we won't be able to collect much. Not every household is drying it, and not much is drying it. It should only be two or three thousand catties at most."
But if you can earn one-third of a pound by reselling it, you can also earn four or five hundred?
Wow, it makes me happy to think about it. They have been selling it for four or five days, and they only sold so much. The net profit is only about 300 yuan. If you take it and resell it without any effort, you can make more. .
No wonder those doing business are so profitable!
Big dog owner!
Father Ye smiled so hard that he could hardly find his eyes, "If the weather is good, let the villagers bask in the sun more, and we can harvest more, so that we can make more money."
"Let's talk about it again. Send tomorrow's goods first. The plan cannot keep up with changes. No matter how good you think now, it will be useless if there are temporary changes."
"Yes, but it's almost half done. You can think about it in advance."
Ye Yaodong actually thinks more than his father, he just talks about it.
The father and son were sitting in the back row, talking quietly. The car was full of noises, made by people and birds. The two talked quietly, and no one paid attention to them.
When someone got on the bus with a chicken coop and sat down next to them, Ye Yaodong reminded his father not to say anything.
This bus is going to their county town, and everything they say is understandable. It would not be good if they were listened to. It was not easy to find a way to make money, but you can't yell out.
Driving from the city to the county seat, people kept getting on and off the bus, driving and stopping, but the number of people on the bus did not decrease. On the contrary, more and more things were piled up in the middle of the aisle, including various bamboo baskets and shoulder poles. Cages, sacks, chickens, ducks, fish and vegetables are everywhere.
There was no place to step on, and people were already crowding near the car door.
Maybe it’s because there are only two buses a day. At this time, many people are rushing back after selling their things, or rushing to catch the last bus back after visiting relatives.
Ye Yaodong thought to himself that if someone didn't have time to buy groceries, they could buy them all directly in the car. The meat and vegetables are mixed and the nutrition is balanced. There is no shortage of everything.
The car was swaying, making both father and son a little drowsy. They had stayed up all night today, and they hadn't closed their eyes yet.
Father Ye was probably exhausted. After saying no more, he leaned his head back and fell asleep within a few minutes, even snoring.
Not long after, other passengers in the car started snoring one after another. It was around two or three o'clock, which was the time for nap. Everyone saw that they had gotten up early and came to the city.
Ye Yaodong was also drowsy, but the car exhaust smelled very bad. The smell was particularly strong when sitting in the back seat. Even though it was winter and he wore thick clothes and didn't smell like sweat, there were still poultry in the car!
The familiar smell of chicken shit and duck shit kept lingering in the car, and with the car exhaust, it also smelled very heady.
He was obviously very tired physically and mentally, and he would fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, but the unfriendly smell and snoring kept him awake intermittently.
He folded his arms on his chest and tilted his head back, remaining half asleep and half awake. It wasn't until his father woke up and patted him that he finally woke up.
"The car is mostly empty, are we almost there?" Father Ye also just had a startle. When he woke up and saw that the car was mostly empty, he hurriedly took a picture of him.
But for a moment, I thought that they were going to the destination station and didn't have to get off the train halfway, and I immediately felt more at ease.
Ye Yaodong stood up and looked at the seat in front of him. It was really half empty, and the aisle was mostly freed up, allowing people to walk past.
He sat down and looked out the window again. The scenery that flashed around him was not familiar to him. The current national highway was also very bad. The road conditions of the houses and the scenery on the roadside were so different from those in the past that he could not recognize them.
"Who are you asking me to ask? I've only been to the city a few times in total, and I didn't look all the way there. It must be almost there, right? That's why there are so many people getting off the bus, so it's mostly empty."
"what time is it?"
He looked at his watch, "It's almost five o'clock, it should be here soon."
The car drove in and out, getting on and off along the way. It was much slower than the tractor, which only took about three and a half hours to drive from their village to the city.
"Where's your electronic watch?"
"I took it off last night when I was taking a shower and put it on the bedside and forgot to put it on."
"It's good that it didn't fall off."
"How come it falls off when you wear it on your hand?"
While the two were talking, the car passed by a village and stopped again. Two more well-dressed people got out of the car. It looked like they were going out to be guests, unlike the ones they wore that were dusty.
Ye Yaodong stood up and shouted to the driver, how long will it take to arrive?
"We've arrived. Turn the corner ahead and you'll find the county seat. Just drive into the station and you'll be there."
"Okay, thank you. Oh...and, master, do you know any tractor master who is willing to go to Haiqingsha Town at this time? I can pay more for the tractor."
The bus driver paused when he was about to shift gears, and turned his head to look at him suspiciously.
He doesn't look like a rich man in his clothes, but his face is quite deceiving. His skin and tender flesh look like he was pampered. No wonder he doesn't want to walk. It's only been a few hours since he walked there. ?
"Yes, I have to ask, do you have a lot of stuff? How about delivering it by bicycle and earning a round trip fare?" The driver asked as he started the car.
"Ah, a bicycle?"
"Yeah, if there's no tractor, can a bicycle do it?"
"Then... then wait until we stand and ask again. It would be best to have a tractor. We are in a hurry to go back."
He was exhausted. He couldn't eat well or sleep well all day long. If he had to walk back for a few more hours, it would kill him. He would have to deliver goods to the city at six or seven tomorrow.
He has already made money, so why should he suffer even more?
"Well, I'll ask when we get to the station."
"Okay, thank you."
Ye Yaodong sat down again and looked out the window. Indeed, as the driver said, he turned a corner and reached the county seat.
And after arriving at the station, he also helped find a relative who drove a tractor for the factory. The lion asked for 10 yuan for the toll before sending it. He said that it would cost a lot of gas to go back and forth, and it was dark and unsafe, so he had to use a public tractor. Do it at your own risk.
Bullshit, it’s a public tool for private use, it’s more profitable without any capital.
He was too lazy to bother, he was already very tired, hungry, sleepy and exhausted.
The counter-offer came to 8 yuan, and seeing that he was refusing to sit down, I didn't want to waste any more words.
His mouth was already thirsty for words, so he agreed directly, saving you from wasting time by talking back and forth.
But it made Father Ye feel very distressed.
"This is too expensive. It usually only costs 40 or 50 cents to take a minibus, right? Otherwise, let's take a bicycle and go slower. The bicycle will definitely be cheaper..."
"Oh, forget it, it's already dark. It's better to walk on a mountain road by bicycle. Besides, two people are not allowed to be carried on two bicycles? How can it be cheaper?"
"Go back early and rest to recharge your batteries. You can get up early in the morning. Otherwise, you won't have to sleep when you go back. If you miss the agreed time, it will leave a bad impression and cause even greater losses."
As soon as he mentioned the possible losses, Ye's father immediately shut up. Compared with eight yuan and a big order, he was not a fool.
"Okay, then go back and rest quickly. You don't have to go all night, right? Just deliver it directly to the address?"
"Um."
After agreeing on the price, the driver immediately drove the tractor.
As soon as Ye Yaodong climbed onto the tractor, he immediately lay down in a straight position. He didn't sit up again until the bumps under him made him uncomfortable.
"This road is really in bad condition, and I don't know when it will be repaired."
"The roads to the city are not repaired, let alone to our countryside. Just lean on and squint for a while. I'll call you when we get there."
"Um."
