Chapter 561 Start Receiving Goods

With something on her mind, and it was a big deal for their family, Lin Xiuqing sat at the door all day, looking up into the distance from time to time, looking forward to Ye Yaodong's return.

The old lady knew it was half past two, so she picked a lot of sweet potato vines from the vegetable field and came over.

"A Dong likes to eat this. I'll fry one for him later. They should be back soon, right? Let's put the rice down and cook it first. When they come back, they might start gathering the dried fish in a hurry. What if you don’t have time to eat?”

"Yes, what you said is that I will put down the rice and cook it. When he comes back, let them eat first and then work after eating."

After Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, she gathered up the sleeves of the sweater that had just risen, put it in the basket, then got up and went to the house to cook.

"Go ahead, I'll pick the sweet potato vine and wash it before you take it in."

When Ye Yaodong came back, he saw white smoke coming out of his chimney before he got home. He was still wondering, why did he cook so quickly today?

He thought he had remembered the time wrong, so he checked his watch to make sure it was only three o'clock.

"Dongzi is back? Come in quickly and sit down for a while. It's cold outside. First, sit in front of the stove and rub your hands to keep warm."

"Are you cooking so early?" he said as he walked into the house.

"Go in and tell her. Ah Qing took a call this morning and asked her to tell you."

"What phone number...?"

He got stuck mid-sentence, and then reacted quickly. His eyes widened in surprise, "Is it from the army?"

The old lady smiled and said nothing.

Lin Xiuqing sat in front of the stove and looked at him with a smile, "I don't know if it was a call from the army. He didn't say clearly..."

"Ah...no?" Ye Yaodong was instantly disappointed again.

"Why are you so anxious? Listen to me... I don't know if it was a call from the army. After all, the other party didn't say it clearly, but he told me that his name is Zhao Weimin and he asked you to send 1,000 kilograms of fish tomorrow. Go to the same place as yesterday morning and deliver it at the same time."

Ye Yaodong's heart was ups and downs because of her, and he said angrily: "You woman, you have to say a sentence in several paragraphs, and you almost didn't give me time to rejoice."

"Zhao Weimin is Team Leader Zhao of the logistics department. He is the one who collected the dried fish. He called me this morning and said he wanted 1,000 kilograms, right? I'll go and ask the neighbors, as well as my eldest and second brothers. Look how many they have?"

"Don't worry, the rice is already cooked. Just stir-fry the sweet potato vines and you're ready to eat. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be busy gathering the dried fish and won't have time to eat."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter. I'll go and ask first. I guess they don't have much in stock. The ones they left back to dry yesterday will probably take four or five days to dry. Some time ago, every household didn't dry much."

"Then I'll call you later."

Ye Yaodong didn't wash his hands either, and hurried out again without even taking a sip of water.

The old lady looked at his hurried back and couldn't help but said: "I would have told him to eat first, and then told him while eating that he just came back and went out again before his butt was even hot."

"The food hasn't been cooked yet, so it doesn't matter if he goes next door to ask first."

"Then let's sit down and rest for a while."

"You asked him to ask me, didn't I just say it? He is worried himself, what can he do? It won't be long. Just ask him to come back to eat when the vegetables are cooked. It's not much. minute."

"Um."

Lin Xiuqing took out all the vegetables and put a large bowl of rice on the table. Then she heated the pan and put oil in it. She quickly poured the sweet potato vines in and stir-fried. Then she chopped the chopped garlic and threw it in and continued to stir-fry.

She also muttered, "There is nothing delicious but he actually likes to eat sweet potato vines. I have never seen him eat them before... They usually feed them to pigs, but he suddenly likes them and competes with pigs for food..."

"What's the point? In the cold weather, besides radishes and cabbage, there are only leeks and sweet potato vines that grow the best. I didn't have to eat them before, so I still eat them all."

Lin Xiuqing just thought about it briefly, and listened to the old lady's rebuttal, but she didn't say anything.

Ye Yaodong went out for a walk, talked to his neighbors and then came back.

"Did you agree? How many pounds do you all have?"

"I don't know, it's just a small quantity. I asked them to pick out the varieties first, and then come over and weigh them. Eat first, and then work after eating."

He went to wash his hands before sitting down and picking up chopsticks to eat.

Lin Xiuqing also sat down, "I received a call this morning. When I came back, I originally wanted to help you collect a few hundred pounds, but the old lady said I didn't know what your plan was, and it would be too late to wait for you to come back. I think about it, I don’t know how much you plan to charge. Is it the same price you told me yesterday?”

"Yes, that's right. This makes it easier to settle accounts. If someone gets jealous again and feels uncomfortable watching me make money, go and ask about the approximate price of the things. Then it will be bad if they come back and accuse me of being evil and exploiting the folks."

"That's right, we haven't made any money yet? It's already been said in the village that we've made several thousand more." Lin Xiuqing is well aware of rumors.

Ye Yaodong saw that the old lady had not sat down, and Ah Qing had not eaten. He asked doubtfully: "You haven't eaten yet, what are you looking at? There are two other children, have they called?"

The old lady smiled and said: "I'm not hungry. It's not time for dinner yet. Let's wait for the two children to eat together later. They are playing and no one is around. This time is a bit early."

"We can just eat them together. If we are hungry at night, we can cook the noodles. This will save us having to reheat the food over and over again."

"You have to work in a hurry. You eat first and don't worry about us."

"That's up to you."

When he heard someone calling at the door, Ye Yaodong took a few bites and went out with the big and small scales.

Lin Xiuqing also went out to help.

The family still has 360 kilograms, and they only need to collect another 640 kilograms, which is enough for the time being, but 640 is a lot.

They can't just weigh the goods as soon as they bring them to others. They have to pour out the goods brought by the neighbors bag by bag and check them. What if some people fish in troubled waters and throw in the goods that are not dry enough and have too much water to take advantage of the weighing? Or maybe mixed with other fish.

What you are most afraid of is meeting someone who makes trouble, and they don't want to see you well. What should you do if you deliberately add rocks into it? It’s not like no one has ever done anything that harms others but does not benefit oneself.

After all, this is not his own product, so he has to be careful when receiving it, and since it is going to be sent to the army, he has to do a good job of integrity and quality first.

However, fortunately, the neighbors are not those who cheat on women and use their brains.

When I went to ask before, I told them to pick them out in advance and sort them out. Now I came over and checked and there was nothing wrong.

I was so sleepy that my brain felt like a blur. It took me an hour and a half to write 1,000 words. My brain was stuck and I couldn't move forward at all. I just finished writing the previous paragraph and then immediately forgot what I wrote before.
