Chapter 159 I have something good to see you
After the camellia oil was applied, Lin Xiuqing took local materials and immediately went to serve him noodles.
Put the shrimps and crabs he picked up, mussels, and the clams she dug earlier in the morning, and dried a large bowl of delicious noodles. He immediately burped, feeling extremely satisfied.
With the help of his two sister-in-laws and his second brother, the sea chicken feet were quickly sorted out and packed in a bucket.
Ye Yaodong came out of the shower and picked it up. He estimated that it should weigh about 6-7 catties.
Sister-in-law Ye asked curiously: "Ah Dong, are these sea chicken feet really worth a lot?"
"Yeah, last time I heard you said it was sold, but you didn't say how much it sold for. Let us hear it, so we can pay more attention if we encounter it in the future."
Second Aunt Ye felt as if she was being scratched by a cat, and she wanted to ask for a long time. Last time, she heard that it was very valuable.
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes in his heart, "If you run into something, please pay attention to it, and bring it back if you can. I don't accept it from Ah Cai. Valuable money is very valuable. It depends on whether you are lucky enough to find it. If you can find it, let's talk about it." , It’s all empty talk if you can’t find out how much it’s worth.”
After finishing speaking, he carried the bucket and said to Lin Xiuqing: "I'll go to the town once, and I'll come back after selling these goods. Is there anything I need to bring back?"
"No, there is nothing missing at home now, there is food and drink, you don't need to spend money, just go back early."
"Do you want to bring two pancakes for the child? What about maltose, do you want it? Do you want to bring me a Hokkien paste? Do you want to buy two salty cakes?"
The two children nodded excitedly and said in unison: "Yes, yes, both!"
Lin Xiuqing stared, all three were worried, "Why don't you want it? Don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't spend some money? I told you not to buy anything, go early and return early."
"Oh good good good..."
"Dad, remember to buy it." The boss wanted to follow after he said that, but was held back by Lin Xiuqing.
"What to buy, there are pickled persimmons at home, don't be naughty."
The two children felt a little aggrieved immediately.
Ye Yaodong walked out, thinking that it would be better to wait and see how much he could sell for. If he sold a lot and spent some money, his wife wouldn't say anything.
How can a child not be greedy? It's a rare trip to the town, and it's okay to bring them some food if you make money.
As a result, before walking a few steps, he fell back again, "I forgot to tell you, there is a big bag of juvenile shellfish, that is an oyster, don't touch it for now, you can sort out the other shells first."
"okay, got it."
He carried the bucket of stone clam fish and the bucket of sea chicken feet onto the cart, and **** the two blue crabs he picked up, and threw them on top of the sea chicken feet. He took a piece of cloth and covered it up. Then I pushed the cart to go from my hometown.
Mother Ye and Ye Huimei also sorted out the sea chicken feet, and put them together with the clam fish on Ye Yaodong's cart, and entrusted him to sell them together. Go ahead and save yourself the hassle.
After the fat man and the three of them were connected, the four went to town.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the village, they saw a passing car swaying past, and the eyes of the four looked from the beginning to the end until they couldn't see it.
The fat man couldn't help but said: "This push cart is enough for one person, why do we need so many people to walk?"
"Why don't you make a sacrifice?" Ye Yaodong put his hands away and put the cart on the side of the road.
Ah Zheng Xiaoxiao also immediately took a step back to keep a distance from the fat man.
"It's none of our business, the fat man will push it."
"Huh?" The fat man stared at the cart, motionless, "Either one person carries two buckets, the cart pushes back, and we wait for the passing car by the side of the road?"
"Who knows when there is a car? Didn't one just pass by?"
"Wait, otherwise, if you push the scooter, you have to walk, and when you come back, you have nothing, and you have to walk again."
The three of them all looked at Dongzi, and they were more inclined to take a car.
Ye Yaodong doesn't want to leave either!
"Then take the car, I put my sister's things on the side of the road, you watch first, I will push the cart back."
"Then you go and come back quickly, we are here watching and waiting for the bus."
After he hurried back and forth, they stopped a tractor and kept negotiating there.
"Oh, my friend is here, you can go now!"
The tractor driver muttered there impatiently, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry, and I already said that I won't be given a ride, so I won't let me go..."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "What?"
Xiaoxiao got into the car with a bucket in his hand and said, "It was Fatty who stopped the car. It was supposed to be a ride, but he refused to wait for someone."
The fat man also said: "It happens that a tractor is on the way, otherwise we will have to wait for a long time for other passing vehicles."
"Oh, hurry up and get in the car, don't waste other people's time."
Ah Zheng looked at the various potted plants on the car curiously, and asked suspiciously: "Master, where are you going to send so many plants and flowers on your car, and what are you doing?"
It can’t be eaten or drunk, and I don’t know what to do with it. It can only be bought by rich people, who have no place to spend money when they are full.
"Send it to Hongsheng Hotel. I heard that the boss there will celebrate his 50th birthday tomorrow, and he has been decorating the hotel for the past two days."
Um?
The three of them looked at each other, wouldn't it be a good time for them to deliver the goods to your door?
"We're going to Hongsheng Hotel too, so stop by, master."
"That's it, it's really a smooth ride."
Take a ride all the way to the back door of the hotel, saving them from walking.
After paying the toll, they helped the tractor driver remove the flowers and plants, which saved him a little trouble.
"Why don't I help you into the back kitchen and yell, it should be seafood in your bucket?"
"Why don't you call that Wang Maoquan for us?" Ye Yaodong vaguely remembered that the short, dog-like man following Hong Wenle was Wang Maoquan.
It is more convenient for someone to call for help than to go forward and report their house to find someone.
"You said Manager Wang, I just want to ask him to sign for it."
"Then I will trouble you."
Good man rewarded! It would save them from looking for people everywhere like swatting flies.
After a while, Wang Maoquan, a short and fat man in a suit and leather shoes, came out of the hotel, and called a few waiters to come out to carry flowers.
Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry, and after Wang Maoquan had signed the form, he walked up to him with a smile and said, "Hello, Manager Wang, do you still remember me?"
Wang Maoquan frowned, looked up and down, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, it's you, the young boy who fished in Baisha Village."
"Yes, it's me. I didn't expect you to be busy. I still remember."
"What's the matter?"
"I heard that your boss is going to celebrate his 50th birthday. Let me first congratulate him on his prosperity and wealth. I wonder if you have purchased all the seafood for your birthday banquet? I have the rock clam and sea chicken feet that I caught this morning. , I don’t know if you still want it? I see that your young master is very interested in sea chicken feet, and you asked me to send everything you have.”
Originally, Wang Maoquan just asked casually, but when he heard that this young man was quite good at talking, he also had a little smile on his face. When he heard that he had sea chicken feet, he also became interested.
"Get sea chicken feet again?"
"Look at it", Ye Yaodong lifted the cloth or lids covering several buckets, "It's very fresh, just dug it in the morning, you keep it fresh, and it will be on the table tomorrow."
"What else?"
"There are more than 80 rock clams and a few blue crabs, all alive and kicking, very fresh."
Wang Maoquan was very satisfied in his heart, and showed it on his face, "Two days ago, the young master ordered people to go to the market to purchase, but they couldn't find sea chicken feet."
"This thing is not easy to dig. It grows on the steep rock wall. It takes only a short time for the ebb tide. Only a few of our friends are brave." Well, we're all hurt."
"It's not easy to find, just use the price last time, you can take it all, you carry it to the back kitchen to have it weighed."
The four of them immediately burst into smiles.
Ye Yaodong quickly pointed to the buckets of rock clams and asked: "Then do you want these rock clams? There are blue crabs."
Wang Maoquan hesitated for a moment and said: "I have to ask about this. The menu has been drawn up a long time ago, and the ingredients are all ordered today."
"Then trouble."
"Um."
The four waited at the door and whispered to each other.
Ah Zheng said worriedly: "If we don't want it, do we have to take it back?"
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "You are stupid, there are so many restaurants in the town, you can just pick a few and ask them, and you can sell them. How can you not sell such a good fish?"
"Right!"
The fat man was poking around, "I don't know if they're hiring a cook."
"Hey? This is okay, you can ask later, you are idle anyway."
"Ask for me? I'm not familiar with it, so it's hard to ask."
"Isn't it nice and free for your family to undertake banquets in the countryside?"
"Isn't this also day by day? Some days are all gathered together again."
"That's right, I'm idle when I'm idle, and I'm busy when I'm busy..."
While speaking, Wang Maoquan brought Hong Wenle over.
Hong Wenle didn't have any pretensions, and even greeted Ye Yaodong when he saw Ye Yaodong, "I heard it's you again, so I'll come out and have a look. You have a lot of goodies."
He smiled, "Good luck, Young Master, let's see if you want these rock clams. There are quite a few of them. There are more than 80 of them. Each one weighs two or three catties. It will definitely look good on the table."
"Yes, I have all of them, and those blue crabs are also kept. Let Wang Maoquan talk to you about the price."
The four of them were excited, and a large sum of money was about to be credited.
"Young master, you are going to have a birthday party tomorrow, do you have enough cooks in the back kitchen? My friend is a cook."
Hong Wenle looked at Wang Maoquan, he didn't care about such trivial matters.
Wang Maoquan thought that the young master wanted him to accept him, and said with a smile: "There is enough manpower, but it's okay to have another helper, after all, the kitchen will be really busy tomorrow."
"Then just stay."
"Thank you very much!"
"Little things."
After speaking, Hong Wenle went to work on other things.
They took several buckets to the back kitchen to weigh them individually, and calculated the money after weighing.
Stone mussels are talking about 8 yuan per catty, and sea chicken feet are 20 per catty.
Ye Yaodong had more than twenty fish, weighing 69.3 catties after weighing, sold for 554 yuan and 4 cents, sea chicken feet weighed 6 catties and 8 taels, sold for 136 yuan, and added two blue crabs for 694 yuan.
His younger sister’s fish weighed 39 catties and 6 taels, and sold for 316 yuan and 8 cents. Sea chicken feet weighed 3 catties and 2 taels, and sold for 64 yuan. Adding her blue crab, it was rounded up to 382 yuan.
As for the fat man, they have more, but the three of them share it equally. They sold more than 40 fish for 1104, and the sea chicken feet sold for 180, which is just right for each person to share 428.
They took the money and went directly to the alley at the back door of the hotel. Excitedly, you and I counted and divided each other. After the division, they counted again. The money in each of their hands was fine, and they all received it happily. arms.
Xiao Xiao patted his pocket and said ecstatically, "Made, you've made a fortune! Never before have you received so much money."
The fat man was still holding money in his hand and kissing wildly there, "Sure enough, it was right to hang out with you. Fortunately, I followed you with the cheek. I really made a lot of money!"
Ah Zheng also clenched his pockets, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "I didn't fall in vain today! This is the most money I've ever received."
Ye Yaodong was also very happy. He is most short of money now, so he worked hard to save more money in order to change to a bigger boat.
The fat man pulled out two pieces of change, and folded the rest in his pocket, "Go for a walk, buy something delicious to reward yourself, and take some back to your wife and children by the way."
"Yes, yes, let's go and have a good meal."
"It's better to get some seafood yourself when you go out to eat. Wouldn't it be fresher and better to cook at home? Go out and buy some delicious food on the street and bring it back to your wife and children."
"Alright."
After the four agreed, they were beaming, and walked out of the alley excitedly, but suddenly heard someone calling them behind them.
"Wait, wait, don't go."
They suddenly felt a little bit in their hearts. Is there any problem? Could it be that I miscalculated and overpaid? Or is it out of stock?
As for the miscalculation and less payment? How can it be? Who miscalculated the money and rushed out to make up for it?
In an instant, their thoughts changed, and then they covered their pockets tightly.
They will not refund the money they bought!
Even if you kill me, you won't quit!
The four of them booed each other, not knowing how to react for a moment.
"Do you want to run?"
"Want to run?"
"Run?"
"Then run?"
"Hey~ wait, don't run away, I have something good to see you..."
