Chapter 703 Militia
These beans don't look very pretty. Each one has bug holes on them. If you break them off, you can still see white bugs crawling on them.
Ye Yaodong only broke off the good part and threw away the part with bug eyes.
Before he could break a few strips, the old lady came out and took away the basket on the ground, as well as the remaining piece of beans in her hand.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, you're a grown man, don't do this, go out for a walk, play with friends, and come back after eating."
He looked at his empty hand and turned his wrist. It was only ten o'clock, "Okay, then I'll go out for a walk and come back for dinner later."
Lin Xiuqing looked in the room and shook her head. There is a reason why a person is spoiled.
Ye Yaodong had nothing to do and wandered around the village with his hands in his pockets. At this time, the women in the village were also busy cooking.
The men were leisurely and leisurely, either playing cards at the door, or sitting at the door chatting and bragging. When bragging more diligently, they could grab a handful of straw in their hands and twist the twist rope while talking.
However, when they saw him, everyone was quite smiling. They all took the initiative to say hello and asked him whether the dried fish was not selling well because the trawl had been short recently and there were still some miscellaneous fish. There was no longer the same kind of fish. Something...
"It's not bad, just enough to eat."
Indeed, there has been less fish recently. They are all trash fish, and none of the same species are easy to sell. Moreover, spring has come, and the air is moist. It is not as dry as autumn and winter. From time to time, there are lightning and thunder, rain and fog.
When his father-in-law and mother-in-law went to the store a few days ago, they said they were selling out too fast and asked him to keep up with the quantity, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to sell, but there was nothing he could do.
The weather has not been very good recently, and the dried fish that Ah Zheng dried was not easy to dry. It rained from time to time, and the quality did not seem to be that good. He collected it carelessly and left it to be sold casually. Boss Zhou asked him if he wanted dried fish. He even said he couldn’t show it off.
It would be great if we could build a drying factory~
Alas~ I can only think about it in my heart, mainly because he has the idea, but where can he get the machine?
He is a layman, he doesn't understand anything he has never been exposed to, and he is very confused. He only knows how to sail a boat and fish.
After all, his previous life experience only taught him how to sail a boat and fish. This was a new life for him, and he didn’t even know where to start.
"You're still barely able to eat, so all we'll be eating is bran."
"That's right, I can only eat sand."
"There is no dried fish. Why don't we sell those dried mussels and sea melon seeds there now? We can still make money, but we can barely do it."
"The feng shui of your home is getting better and better~"
"I heard that Lao You is also thinking about building a few new houses there. His eldest son has been married for several years, and his second son is getting married soon. The house is not enough to live in, and his third son is not a few years younger..."
"Hey, don't tell me, those families on the beach have boats, and it looks like their days are prosperous..."
Ye Yaodong chuckled in his heart and didn't care about these people's guesses. When he didn't see him, they all chatted about the weather. When he saw him, they just talked around him. He was obviously the smoke coming out of his ancestral grave.
"Where are you going?"
Was stopped again.
"Not going anywhere, ready to wander around."
"Have you received your invitation? Ade sent invitations everywhere this morning."
"What table number are you sitting at? I heard that there will be six tables in the middle of the stage. Do you have a seat?"
Before he could answer, the others started talking.
"There should be. A Dong is now a celebrity in our village. Young people from all over the country are not as capable as him. He has bought two shops in the city, has a boat at home, and the dried fish business is so prosperous. , who has what he can do?"
"And more... He was the one who got all the bronze cauldrons. The Mazu temple in our village can be rebuilt with such grandeur and his contribution is so great. Why does he have a place?"
"You are stupid. There must be some. The city leaders heard that they knew him and even went to his house to have dinner. Isn't that right, Adong?"
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "I've only met him once or twice, and he was just complimented by the leader."
How long has it been, can you still talk about it?
After he finished speaking, he smiled and left again, and the people behind him discussed again.
There are times when men gossip a lot in their spare time.
He originally planned to go out for a stroll, but everyone was talking about dried fish, so he thought of stopping by Azheng's house to see how his dried fish was doing?
Now I can just count on him to help us make a fortune together.
Wandering with purpose, of course his steps speeded up unconsciously. He didn't stop when he met someone who greeted him on the road, he just smiled and said a few casual words.
Ah Zheng was also busy at home chasing away flies.
Logically speaking, since it was foggy today and he couldn't go out to sea, he should go to the city to bring back several kilograms of fish to dry.
But there is no room for hanging them at home, and because it is foggy and cloudy today, the air is a bit humid, so the large pile of dried fish hanging at the door has attracted a lot of flies, and the buzzing is annoying.
Ye Yaodong was still a little far away from the door of his house, when he saw him waving a fly swatter around.
"It looks like it's hard to dry the fish in the sun. There's no good weather."
"Yes, I won't dare to buy it when I have a chance next time. I don't know how many days it will take to dry in the sun, but don't stink, these damn flies..."
Ah Zheng casually waved it away a few more times, then didn't bother to care anymore and threw the fly swatter aside.
"What kind of wind brings our boss Ye here? It's just the right time. I haven't settled the accounts with you yet. Okay, why would you sign me up for the militia? Are you too full? I'm not too full!"
"If you want to repay it, you can repay it yourself. You have to involve me. Do you think I'm idle? I'm so busy that I'm almost spinning like a spinning top. Don't you see that I'm still busy swatting flies?"
"Besides, on the days of Mazu's birthday, the opera started early. It's so lively. Who would be willing to patrol and wander around outside? You are the only one who is stupid. Who can push you as much as you can?"
"Damn, I'm so angry. I want to watch the show too. I just wanted to kick Ade out. I can't even think about quitting. You said that you have already signed up for me and it has been recorded and cannot be changed. Your uncle Yes, deliver it to your door yourself..."
The more Ah Zheng talked, the angrier he became. He picked up the fly swatter he had thrown away from the ground and swatted it at Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong was caught off guard and was slapped twice on his butt. Like an ant on a hot pot, he jumped up to avoid his slaps.
"Hey, hey... I'm thinking of you. Being brothers can't share the blessings..."
"Fuck you, just enjoy it by yourself. I want to watch a show, so hurry up and push it for me. You have a big face, so he will definitely listen to you."
Ye Yaodong said with a playful smile: "That won't work. It's so boring to be alone. Let's all have company together."
There will definitely be chaos in the village by then, and pickpockets and idlers from all over the surrounding areas will definitely come into their village.
If every household went to the theater and no one was watching at home, wouldn't it become someone's back garden?
Although he has a dog at home, dogs are not omnipotent. If someone repeats the same trick again, no one is watching, he succeeds all of a sudden, and poisons the whole litter without anyone knowing.
He has a lot of money and treasures at home, and he must keep them under guard and not let anyone take them away.
When he becomes a militiaman, he can also ask the team to hang around their home more often. It is impossible for him to stay at home alone from morning to night.
Moreover, I heard that he is now a celebrity, and he may still be a key target of patronage by then!
"Your uncle, I want to go see a lively show, so don't wander around. I'm not going anyway, so you have to go alone."
"It's not like you have to patrol outside all day long. You will definitely be assigned a shift. When you don't have a turn, you can still watch the excitement."
"don't want."
"Fuck! I'm going to tell Director Ade later that every household will send at least one man to form a militia. You have to go even if you don't want to go."
Everyone has a responsibility to protect the village. Every household should send a man to form a militia. This is also the right thing to do. This will prevent some people from pushing back and not even being able to form a team.
Although five days is not a short period of time, with one rotation during the day and night, the hundreds of households in their village only have two or three rotations, and they do not miss the chance to watch the show.
"Damn, I really have yours..."
I'm too sleepy and too busy. I have another one that I'll have to refill during the day tomorrow.
