Chapter 654 Healing the Pain
I didn't expect such a result. I came with high hopes, but was disappointed. Ye Yaopeng looked frustrated, and Ye Yaodong didn't know what to say.
A person's luck is too important! The fat man listened from beginning to end and waited until the others were gone before he said: "Look, I told you that I won't ask for it again. Dongzi was also lucky. It happened that the young master was not there that day, so Manager Wang thought he wanted it again, so he asked Collect it. If it is one day late, you can only take it back. I got a big bargain that day." Ye Yaopeng looked at the bucket in his hand and said helplessly: "Dongzi has always been lucky since he was a child. They're all good." Ye Yaodong didn't say anything, just pursed his lips.
The fat man felt that the atmosphere was not good, so he changed the subject and said: "The manta ray that I brought over two days ago..."
"It's a black-backed ray..."
"Oh, they all look the same anyway, and the manta ray's call is more pleasant. That fish tastes quite good, and the cartilage on the edge tastes quite smooth, tender and chewy..." Ye Yaodong glared.
"You stole it!"
"What are you eating on the sly? You have to put it nicely, I just want to taste it. What chef doesn't want to taste it before cooking?"
"Tch, aren't you the only one who wields the sword? When did it become your turn to wield the spoon so soon?"
"It doesn't affect my taste whether I hold a knife or a spoon. Everyone's taste buds are different, right? Of course, good things must be evaluated by others to avoid deviation in taste."
"If you say it in a serious manner, I will obey you!" Ye Yaodong returned what he just said.
"Haha, each other! That fish is worth 50 yuan, how can you not try it?"
"It's just big. It's rare to see one weighing over 100 kilograms. It looks a little rare. It all depends on the weight. Otherwise, it tastes the same as the smaller ones."
"Speak as if you have eaten it before! Don't brag. The big one is much more delicious than the small one, and the fish bones on the edges are even chewier."
"This is purely psychological..." The two chatted for a while, and Ye Yaopeng also recovered from his disappointment.
"Dongzi, if nothing happens, let's go back. There is still a lot of work waiting to be done at home."
"Okay." The fat man also held the tachyon and waved to them.
"Go, go, my food is cold." Ye Yaodong also waved to him and climbed onto the bicycle. It's like what the fat man said, they come back just as they came.
Just smelling the aroma of oil cakes wafting on the road, he quite wanted to stop his bicycle and buy some to take home. However, thinking that his eldest brother would probably be eager to return home later, and he was not in the mood to stay, so he stopped talking and went directly. You can go back.
The two sisters-in-law and the second brother at home also stretched their necks from time to time, looking at the intersection, and occasionally discussing, how much can it be sold for?
Everyone is smiling. The recent harvest has been really good. Every day I can pick up good things worth some money. These things can be sold for money.
It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed. When Ye Yaodong's bicycle first appeared in their sight, they all looked over with smiles on their faces.
As soon as the car stopped in front of the house, they all came over.
"How much did it cost?"
"It came back pretty quickly. How much did you sell for... Huh? Why did you get it back again?"
"Huh? Really? Why did you bring it up again?"
"Is no one here?"
"No, then I have to go there again tomorrow. I might not be free tomorrow..."
"No," Ye Yaopeng said depressedly,
"They didn't want it. They said it was then and now, and they don't want it now. Dongzi was also lucky a few days ago. His young master's family just happened to be away, so the others accepted it on their own initiative."
"Huh?" Everyone else opened their mouths in surprise and couldn't believe it.
"No more?"
"Isn't it?"
"This was difficult to dig. It got stuck in the gap and our hands were almost scratched. Fortunately, we were wearing gloves."
"That's right. At that time, we said no wonder it's expensive. It's hard to dig out, so isn't it expensive? Now you suddenly say no? What's going on?" The two women asked eagerly, and Ye Yaohua also frowned. to them.
Ye Yaopeng explained that they were also disappointed. It turned out that A Dong\Dongzi was just lucky a few days ago.
Pity. These three words came to everyone's mind.
"This... this is cheaper for us, why don't others want it?" Second Sister-in-law Ye asked unwillingly.
"No, I firmly said I don't want it, and I won't want it in the future either."
"What should we do? We can only eat it by ourselves?" Ye Yaopeng nodded.
"Share a little bit for each person. Let's fry it and eat it at night. Anyway, it's only four or five kilograms, which is just enough." Along the way, he also calmed down and was not so disappointed. They didn't know this thing at first, so they just Just eat the Buddha's hand.
Who doesn't have this kind of wealth?
"Do we really have to share it among ourselves?" Sister-in-law Ye was heartbroken thinking about it. She didn't know if she could sell it at a high price, but she thought it could be sold at a high price, but it was too late and she was beaten back again. She didn't rush. Go on, this feels so uncomfortable.
"Divide it, no one wants it. If the Buddha's hand is sold, it is better to eat it yourself." When a valuable thing is forced to be sold at a low price, it is better to eat it happily in your own mouth. At least you are eating it. Yes, you can comfort yourself, you have not suffered any loss.
The two sisters were like eggplants battered by frost. They thought they could get more money from each other, but their hopes were dashed.
Ye Yaohua was only disappointed for a moment and then recovered.
"Forget it, if you can't sell it, you can't sell it. Your harvest today is okay. You also caught two blue crabs, a big eel, and a few stranded paddy fish. It's okay. You earned your wages back."
"That's all I can think of."
"Well, there are still a lot of shelled ones, which are also earned, and we have nothing to lose." Ye Yaopeng also said.
"We have never eaten this thing. I guess even if we have eaten it mixed with Buddha's hand, we don't know what it tastes like. It just happens that each of us can taste it. This is something that foreigners like to eat. The taste is definitely the same." Ye Yaohua smiled. of comfort.
Ye Yaodong suddenly felt that his second brother's mentality was quite good. He would not worry about whether he was lucky or lost his life.
"Second brother, what you said is wrong. Who says the food that foreigners like to eat has to be good? We are different in different places and have different tastes, not to mention foreign countries that are so far away. However, this stuff will definitely go down well after being fried. The wine is real.”
"Haha, it's like this. This kind of shell is the best for drinking."
"Then I have nothing to do. I'll go back and get busy."
"Okay, then go ahead and ask your sister-in-law to bring you a bowl later. If you need anything, call us. Dad just came over and we helped you move all the dried fish out of the house. If there is a shortage of people when you weigh it, If you want to carry it, just stand on the other side of the wall and shout, and we will go over and help.”
"It's okay. Dad and I will carry it. Ah Qing can just check the scale. You guys are busy with your business." Ye Yaodong said without looking back as he pushed the bicycle.
Father Ye didn't leave even after moving the dried fish. He helped him pick up the manure that needed to be picked up and apply the manure that needed to be applied. When he entered the courtyard, he saw his father holding a long dung scoop. The stick was longer than others, scooping up dung water to fertilize the ground.
"No wonder I smelled such a stinky smell as soon as I got close. I thought someone had just passed by carrying manure. I didn't do the fertilizing at night. It stinks to death during the day."
"Save it for you at night?"
"Forget it, I'll let you do it during the day." His father did all the work for him, so he couldn't be too picky.
"Your brother's sea chicken feet haven't been sold yet?"
"No, didn't you hear that just now?"
"From what I heard, you are just lucky, otherwise it would be something that no one would want to buy. It is very cheap."
"Yeah, I think so too." When I dug it for the first time, I thought I'd try my luck. Maybe God really took care of him.
"Push the car in first and prepare the scale. I'll come here after I've finished fertilizing." Ye Yaodong nodded and quickly pushed the bicycle into the house. He could hardly hold his breath, and his nose was red from holding it in.
As soon as he entered the house, he quickly closed the door to prevent the smell from entering. Lin Xiuqing waited for him to come back and quickly asked him, brother, how much did their stuff cost?
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "Ask again, everyone has to ask again, I have to answer dozens of times, no sales!"
"ah?"
"Stop, why are you asking so many questions? Go and get the paper and pen ready to take notes, and I'll get the scale. After all the dried fish in this house have been moved out, it looks bright and comfortable."
"Of course, it looks spacious. I've already prepared paper and pens, just waiting for you to come back."
"Well, let's get to work." 3,000 kilograms of dried fish is a lot, and it took a while to finish weighing it. There were more than 30 bags piled at the door, and I don't know if there were 3,000 kilograms.
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father carried the scale, while Ah Qing fiddled with the scale and recorded the weight.
They weighed two bags by two. After weighing, they piled them into the corner in the other direction and stacked them neatly. It took more than an hour to weigh and stack all the dried fish.
While Ah was counting the total weight, the father and son went to their hometown to get a small bundle of nylon bags. They planned to cover the dried fish and pile it in the yard. Anyway, they would move it out tomorrow morning, just one night. If they moved it again It would be too much trouble to go inside.
I've also checked the weather. It won't rain tomorrow. If I leave it piled in the yard overnight, it won't be a big problem. After Lin Xiuqing added the total weight, she told him that the difference was more than 200 kilograms. Ye Yaodong immediately went next door to carry three bags and weighed them. He also told his two sisters-in-law to take out the shellfish meat.
He planned to collect all the meat from those shells first, and give some of them to Boss Zhou for a taste. The rest would be sent to the city tomorrow night, and they would definitely sell well.
Of course the two sisters had no problem with it, and wished he would quickly collect the things and exchange them directly for money.
After sunbathing for many days, they could finally see that money was coming in and being distributed, and it was not in vain that they had worked so hard for several days.
The two people's faces immediately cleared up, and they smiled, which healed the pain of not being able to sell their feet.
