Chapter 782 I Asked Mazu
Ye Yaodong left for a while and then came back.
In just a short while, there were many more fishing boats on the shore, especially the small boats around the coast. Almost all of them docked.
A row of small boats floated neatly on the shore, and there was almost no room to set foot in the open space on the shore.
He looked around to find where his father was, and at a glance he saw that his father was surrounded by a group of people. Seeing that he was chatting happily with the people next to him, he slowly squeezed in.
"father!"
"Oh, here you go, how is the small workshop?"
"It's okay. Ah Qing went to borrow a nylon bag at noon and asked his two brothers-in-law to put up a shelf to cover it in advance. It didn't get caught in the rain. In addition, there was only a light rain at home in the afternoon, so it didn't affect it."
"That's good."
Uncle Lin Jingye on the side smiled and said: "I think it won't rain for long. It may clear up tomorrow. Then the sun will shine for two days and your goods will be dry."
Father Ye nodded in agreement, "It would be nice if it clears up tomorrow. Otherwise, if you don't go to sea for a day, it will be a day's loss. It's been the flood season recently."
"Well, I hope so. How was Uncle Lin's harvest today?"
"Just like that, only half of yesterday's performance, just so-so."
"Everyone is the same. It's raining heavily outside and it's hard to see clearly. It's better to come back early to be safer."
Uncle Lin Jingye smiled and said: "We are all about the same, but we are far behind you. How can I dare to compete with you? You are really getting better and better. Seeing that you are more successful than anyone else, your father talks about you every day. We all laughed so hard.”
"Haha, it's true. I thought my father would only be disgusted if he opened his mouth."
"That's true, but can't I still hear how proud he is in his disdainful words?"
Father Ye's face was a little confused, "What are you talking about? He is still young, there are still many things he doesn't know, and he knows everything. He still needs people to watch him more. Otherwise, give everyone a little coaxing and gentle words A handful of it can reach heaven, and you don’t even know what your last name is?”
"How can it be? I think Dongzi is very good. If my son were half as good as him, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. Look at the young boys in the whole village. Who is as good as him? Your family now has four boats, and three of them are He belongs to him alone. If this were my son, I would definitely let everyone know about it."
"Don't say it nice. It's your turn. Everyone in front of you has said good things. If you're not in a hurry, I'll go first."
"Hey, hey, here I come, here I come..."
After saying that, he turned to look at Father Ye and said, "There are too many of you, otherwise I will let you go first. I am very fast. I only have a few baskets, which are about 300 kilograms. There are also a few baskets of others." Seafood.”
The father and son moved their goods forward again.
Ye Yaodong saw that his eldest cousin and Brother Asheng were still there, and quickly asked them to go home first, "It's enough for me and my father to be here. Anyway, there's nothing going on. Just sell the goods. You guys are here too." It’s better to go home and take a shower first. It’s been raining in front of me and everyone is wet. Don’t catch a cold.”
"It doesn't matter, there's still a lot of moving to do here..."
"It's just a few baskets of goods, just move them a few times. Why do we need so many people? Go back, it's okay, I'll be with my father."
"That...that's okay, let's go back first."
"Well, go ahead."
The father and son continued to line up, and occasionally chatted with people they knew well. Everyone asked whether the dried fish and cuttlefish were affected by the rain.
Not all of them necessarily wish people bad luck, some of them really care, but the majority of them are gloating about others' misfortune, but they hide it well.
Who wouldn't feel sad watching others making a lot of money?
They didn't wait long. After passing the weighing process, he arrived. He first carried the bag picked up by Lin Guangyuan and weighed it, letting Ah Cai list it separately first.
Then they carried their own goods one after another, stacking two or three baskets on top of each other and weighing them. After weighing, the weight of the baskets was deducted.
Today's quantity is really small, only half of yesterday's. The two boats add up to less than 700 kilograms, and the price is only 26 cents.
"They fell really fast!"
Ye Yaodong folded the list and wanted to put it in his pocket, but when he thought about it, he was wet all over his body and there was no place dry, so he could only hold it in his hands.
"A price drop is a bad thing for others, but it's a good thing for you! Will the profit from drying it like this be greater?" Ah Cai said while weighing the goods for others.
"How many handfuls! You think everyone is a fool. Of course, if it's cheap, you have to sell it cheap. I just earn a little hard-earned money. You really think I've made such a fortune and I'm still taking risks."
"Look at this rainy day. If it rains for several days in a row, I will lose all my money."
"Oh~ I don't have to do it, I don't have to do it, I'm going to drink the northwest wind, make some hair, go home, go home~"
Ye Yaodong said as he walked out.
There is nothing wrong with crying poverty.
It is better to be bad-mouthed yourself than to listen to other people's bad-mouthing.
He asked his father to go home and take a shower first, and he could push the cart back alone.
It was better to stay at home. As soon as he returned home, the three women in the family came to greet him, ranging from eighty years old to two years old, but they were all focused on him.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he felt at ease and had a smile on his face.
"My dear, your father and I are very dirty and wet. Don't hug my legs."
"Fly, fly~"
Lin Xiuqing also picked up Ye Xiaoxi on his lap and said with a smile: "I'll hold you Feifei after your father has finished taking a bath."
Recently, Ye Xiaoxi is most interested in hugging Ye Yaodong because he will fly her very high, which is fun.
The old lady also smiled and said: "The hot water has been boiled long ago. You go take a shower and wash your hair first. You are soaked all over, so don't catch a cold. Xiaojiu put it down for me to see, and Aqing gave it to Dong. I’ll put down some noodles first, and wait until he’s finished taking a shower. It’ll be ready to eat, so I can fill my belly first, since dinner hasn’t even been cooked yet when I get back.”
"It's okay. Just keep the list and I'll take a shower first." He said as he took off his clothes and pants.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at the weight, which was only 690 pounds, but didn't say anything. It was a rainy day. Come back early. It's normal for the quantity to be small.
She went into the house to get him a change of clothes and put away the shopping list.
"Aguang, did you come over this afternoon?"
"Not yet. Maybe it's raining. Come here right away."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "It's time for dinner at one o'clock that night, I should come over and say something."
The old lady was ladling hot water and said, "I went to ask Mazu this morning and did some divination. Mazu also said that you can buy this boat. Don't listen to your elder brother, and don't believe your father."
He was pleasantly surprised and said, "Okay, just believe in Mazu. Why didn't I think that I should ask Mazu? You are still smart."
"Haha, how can you, a young boy, do it? I'm not worried either. After hearing what I heard yesterday, I couldn't sleep all night, and I didn't dare to say anything for fear of delaying you from making money. So I went to bed early this morning at dawn Zhuxiang, I asked Mazu by the way, but fortunately Mazu said I can buy it."
"Well, I can't be wrong in believing in Mazu. When I buy the boat, I will make a lot of money again. Then I will buy you... buy... what to buy? Do you like watching TV? How about I buy a black and white TV for you? See?" Ye Yaodong said happily.
The old lady is still reliable!
Although he is not interested in TV sets and does not like to watch TV, and color TV sets will be released in a few years, but they are not available yet. If he buys one, he will be able to use it for two years.
It's worth thinking about if it can make the whole family happy. It doesn't matter whether he likes it or not.
"Ah, don't!"
The old lady was so shocked that the spoon fell into the circular water hole in the earthen stove. Fortunately, she placed the washbasin on the stove, otherwise it would have fallen over.
She quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Don't spend money frivolously. That TV set is valuable. I don't like watching it. I just want to listen to plays and books. I'm not tired of playing with this radio yet, so don't do it anymore." It's a waste of money to buy other big things. Your money is of great use, so you can't buy it randomly."
"It's only about 400 yuan, okay, it's not expensive."
"It's more than 400 yuan, why isn't it expensive? It's so expensive, why don't you buy it? Don't think about it, otherwise Aqing won't be angry, I will be angry, and I will beat you."
Ye Yaodong smiled and didn't take it seriously. He wanted to wait until the big ship was bought and take a look. At this moment, Aguang was still nowhere to be seen, so he didn't know if he had concluded the negotiation.
"Did you hear that? Don't fight with me, haha. I'm telling you seriously. If you buy it back, I will... I will... I will move it and sell it to others."
The old lady held on to his hand tightly, insisting that he agree.
He had no choice but to smile and nod, "Okay, then I won't buy it first. I'll buy the big boat first and make the money first."
"Yes, that's right. Money must be earned first, not spent first."
The old lady was satisfied, let go, and resumed scooping hot water.
The round hole is too small, so you can only use a small long spoon to slowly scoop it out in small spoonfuls.
After she finished scooping out, she gave the basin to Dongzi and filled it with cold water. She took another large ladle and scooped out a large ladle of water and added it to top up.
When the rice is cooked later, it will be boiling again, and there will be hot water to use after dinner.
Ye Xiaoxi saw a basin of water mixed with water, and hurriedly moved towards it. He stuck out his butt and was about to reach in with his hand, but was lifted away by Ye Yaodong.
"You are everywhere, go, go, don't play in the water."
She was lifted up in the air, dancing and screaming.
Ye Yaodong put her in the standing cage. He turned around and sat down, ready to take a bath, when he saw her crawling out again.
"Ah! How do you do this?"
"She climbs so many times a day. This standing cage is useless. I plan to wash it and give it to Huimei when the weather is sunny." Lin Xiuqing came out and saw it and said.
"All right."
"You wash yours and don't worry about her. I'll take her away."
The old lady stepped forward quickly, "I'll take her to the door to see the chickens and ducks. You cook some noodles for Dongzi first."
"OK."
An old man and a young man held hands and walked out slowly and staggeringly, not knowing who was holding whom.
