Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1046 Black Heart (1 words, monthly ticket +19)

I haven't operated this type of trawler for a few months, and I almost lost my scalp.

At least the Dongsheng had a cockpit, which was sheltered from the wind and rain and relatively comfortable. But on this ship, one could only stand on the deck facing the wind, which almost blew up one's head. The sea in spring was still freezing cold, especially at night. Fortunately, he wore a hat.

The father and son went out to sea alone as usual, and did not call other sailors. They had just defeated the pirates, so they asked everyone to take a few more days off to take a break and brag at home.

The main reason is that we don’t need so many people. Today we are just out to put down the longline fishing line. If we want to collect it, we can wait until the next day to collect it. It will be easier.

Originally, there was no need to go out at night. It was actually the same to go out during the day to cast the nets. But these past two days, I heard everyone in the village gossiping about Pei's father while also talking about the squid season.

So the father and son thought about going out to sea at night and scooping up some sea water to see if there were any Noctiluca scintillans.

This is the most direct criterion for judging the squid season.

Fortunately, although the Dongsheng was damaged, the factory delivered him a boat first, so he still had a boat to use. Otherwise, he would have missed it.

The other boats have already been rented out, so there is no reason to take them back now.

Going out to longline at night is just a side job.

The two of them went to the offshore waters that they were familiar with before. One person drove the boat while the other chopped fish bait along the way.

After arriving at the place, I scooped a bucket of sea water and tried it. Seeing that there were only one or two Noctiluca, I was not in a hurry. I slowly put the bait on and lowered the hook. At the same time, the fishing boat was moving forward slowly, lengthening the front line to make it easier to lower the hook.

The father and son worked skillfully, and only after they had put all 20 baskets of longline fishing lines into the water did they clapped their hands and prepared to return.

There were no tools on the new boat, and it was impossible to drag nets. It was impossible to spend all their free time drifting on the sea like fools. It was still early before dawn, so the two of them went straight home and waited for the tide to rise tomorrow morning before going out to sea to collect the fish.

Furthermore, they had discovered one or two Noctiluca scintillans in the sea water, so they had to send their men to the mountain to get some branches during the day and tie them together to make squid egg carriers, ready to be released as soon as the flood season arrives in the next two days.

He was really lucky and he never missed any money-making job.

By the time the flood season is over, his Dongsheng will surely have been repaired and will be able to go out to sea again without any delay.

They went out to sea at two or three in the morning, and when they returned to shore after casting the longline, it was already daybreak.

The pier was bustling with people in the early morning, with fishermen in small boats going out to sea to cast and collect their nets.

The father and son greeted some fishermen around them enthusiastically as they walked. Then after returning home, Ye Yaodong asked his younger brother who was looking after the workshop to go to the mountain to cut more branches and then he prepared to go back and take a nap.

However, as soon as he entered the house, the old lady called him to eat porridge first. He was not hungry, but she still pulled him and insisted that he eat his fill before going back to sleep, otherwise he would probably wake up at noon, and she was afraid that he would be hungry.

Out of the old man's kindness, he had no choice but to obey.

The pickles were pickled just half a month ago and are not edible yet. On the table this morning were pickled radish, stir-fried sour beans, and the leftover can of fish.

We eat salted fish every day, but no one in my family eats it anymore. Now we only steam a bowl of it every few days.

Generally speaking, whatever is cooked at home is what I dislike eating the most.

Ye Yaodong had just finished breakfast and was about to go back to his room to sleep when he heard the sound of banging feet coming down the stairs. He immediately stopped, looked at the calendar, and waited for the two boys to run down.

It's Sunday, and I don't have to go to school, so why are you getting up so early? I don't get up so early even for school.

"Why are you two up so early?"

"Ah? Dad, didn't you go out to sea at night?"

Ye Chengyang also glanced at the back door, "It's not raining?"

"What are you two doing? You're getting up at the crack of dawn."

"We are going to the mountains to herd the lambs. After a night's sleep, they must be hungry."

"You are so diligent. I have never seen you so enthusiastic in serving our ancestors."

"Hey, eat more grass, the lamb will grow up."

"By the way, bring a basket with you. There might be wild strawberries growing at this time of year. Pick some if you see any."

The two brothers' eyes lit up, "Okay, okay."

"Watch the lambs carefully. If one is missing, come back and break its legs."

"Even if Yangyang is lost, the sheep won't be lost."

"Even if my brother is lost, the sheep will not be lost."

Ye Yaodong glanced at the two brothers, ignored them, and went straight back to the house to sleep, leaving them alone to run around the mountain.

When he lay down, A Qing woke up in a daze and asked what time it was.

He held her in his arms, one leg on top of her, "It's only 6 o'clock, go back to sleep."

"I seemed to hear my son's voice."

"We are both very full. We have to go herd sheep at dawn."

"It would be great if these two...study hard like this."

Ye Yaodong touched her head and said, "Go to sleep."

Lin Xiuqing closed her eyes and continued to sleep peacefully.

However, the two of them didn't sleep for long as they were woken up by Pei Yu's pee.

Ye Xiaoxi was there screaming that her sister had wet the bed. Her sister was blushing and kept repeating the same evil sound. The couple could no longer lie down, and Ye Yaodong also got up with a headache.

"Ancestor, make a bed in the next room tomorrow and I'll sleep over there."

"it is good."

Pei Yu was still sitting on the bed stupidly, at a loss as to what to do.

"Go get me a basin of warm water first. My butt and thighs are wet. Wipe them off before changing."

Lin Xiuqing neither scolded her nor hit her. Other people's children were not her own and she could not just hit or scold them. She took the child in her arms and after instructing Ye Yaodong, she changed her wet pants first.

After dressing both children and letting Ye Yaodong take them out to play, she continued to make the beds.

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi ran out, she yelled at the old lady, "My sister wet the bed, my sister is so ashamed~"

That was not enough. After she finished her meal and walked out of the door, she also told it again to her friends around her.

Pei Yu was so angry that he ignored her and went straight back to the yard and sat next to the old lady.

After her brothers and sisters who were herding sheep at noon came back, she told everyone again, as if to announce it to the world.

"You've wet the bed before, too." Ye Chenghu bluntly exposed her past.

“I don’t wet the bed anymore.”

"But you slept in the doghouse some time ago."

"no!"

"Yes, Dad said so. Dad said you slept in the doghouse and made it difficult for him and Mom to find you in the middle of the night."

"no!"

She crossed her arms across her chest in anger, stamped her feet, and repeated in a louder tone, "No!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"No, no, it's too bad, it's too bad~"

Ye Yaodong listened to the noise at the door before walking out of the yard and interrupting their quarrel. "You came back only after dinner. There are only three lambs in total, and you have to trouble seven or eight people to herd them? I was wondering why I didn't see anyone all morning."

"Dad, we picked a lot of wild strawberries, and Brother Jiang has some raspberries."

There was a basket full of wild strawberries, all bright red and large in size. The smallest ones were as big as a fingernail, while the largest ones were as big as a coin.

There were fewer raspberries, only half a basket, but they were all of uniform size, the size of his thumb, and slightly lighter in color than wild strawberries.

He grabbed a few and threw them into his mouth.

"Dad, this is not how you eat it. You have to break it open, take out the white stuff inside, and then blow on it before you can eat it."

"There's a lot to do, huh? You have so many steps to make this thing?"

"Of course, it's supposed to be eaten this way."

Several children gathered around two baskets of wild strawberries and raspberries and started eating them. There was a temporary truce, but the peace didn't last long. They felt that the food was not shared fairly and started arguing again.

Everyone felt that others ate more than themselves, and felt sorry for each other, but then they ate big handfuls of food, fearing that they would not eat enough.

They only took a few bites and then started slapping each other to prevent the other from eating too much. In the end, they were about to fight.

Ye Yaodong felt a headache after hearing this, so he lifted the basket for them and said, "I'll watch you. Go home and each of you get a big bowl to divide the food, and then wash it. You have to wash it before eating, otherwise what if a snake or snail crawls over it?"

"Humph, if I had known I wouldn't have divided them up. It's clear that both baskets were taken by Yangyang and I. They didn't take anything."

"What's so rare? I'll go up the mountain to pick more in the afternoon after we finish eating. I have to herd sheep in the mountain in the afternoon anyway."

"I won't let you herd my sheep!"

"What a great thing!"

"I just won't let you go!"

"Then you watch the lambs by yourself, and we'll go pick wild strawberries."

The few people looked at each other with disgust. After the food was divided, they each held a bowl and sat at the door to eat, ignoring each other.

But after the meal, they made up and happily took the lamb out again.

The envious Ye Xiaoxi wanted to follow them, but her legs and feet could not catch up with them and she was left behind. Finally, she could only run home angrily and cry, and complained that her brothers would not take her with them, and insisted that Ye Yaodong take her to the mountain as well.

How could he have the free time? He asked his brothers to chop a bunch of branches in the morning, and he has been tying them up all morning, and he hasn't finished yet.

He coaxed and tricked her into sitting aside and asked Father Ye to weave a small basket for her. Only after she had the basket could she go up the mountain to pick the fruits. Only then did she calm down.

Father Ye had an extra job to do, but seeing his granddaughter and great-granddaughter sitting on either side of him, lying on his knees and watching him weave baskets, he was actually enjoying it.

When I was in a good mood, I made a lifelike little grasshopper for them, which made them scream with joy. After getting it, they ran around the workshop happily.

Ye Yaodong also admired his father's craftsmanship. The older generation was really versatile and did everything by hand. They were really amazing, unlike him.

"Who is like you? You can carry two bags of grain into the ditch."

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look at his younger brother who was also tying branches nearby. Both of them glanced at him curiously.

He felt a little embarrassed and glanced at his father unhappily.

You bring this up again. I should have known not to praise him earlier.

No wonder his mother hates his father more and more the more she looks at him.

"Your grandpa can also weave dragonflies. Ask him to weave another one for you."

"One is enough. Why would you want to weave more? It's a waste of time. You haven't even finished weaving the basket yet."

But the two girls happily ran back and shouted, "I want more~ I want more~"

"I want more~father-in-law~I want~I want~"

The two of them pulled at Father Ye's sleeves, calling out sweetly and softly. Father Ye had no choice but to smile and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll make two more dragonflies for you and put them in the basket for you to play with."

"Okay, okay, grandpa is so awesome~"

"Father-in-law~Great~"

Father Ye's old face was almost smiling like a chrysanthemum. He did nothing the whole afternoon but weave baskets, dragonflies, and grasshoppers for the two girls. He weaved one after another while they kept begging and asking for more.

When the other children in the family came back, they all saw it and clamored for it, so Ye's father impatiently drove them away.

"What else do you want? You want something? How old are you? You're not old yet, right? You still want to play this? Didn't I make it up for you when you were little? Go away, don't get in the way here, go play your own game."

"lue~"

"Wait a minute~"

"Wait~"

The older and younger ones all ran away, and now they had some peace and quiet. But it was quiet anyway, and it was better to have two girls around.

Ye's father finally found time to talk to him about the fishing boat.

"Your eldest brother and second brother's ships will be delivered within a month, which is about the time when Mazu is born, right? By then, you will definitely have to end your cooperation with the two ships you are currently operating."

Ye Yaodong had thought of this a long time ago. "I know that if my family has a boat, they will definitely drive their own. I don't care. I can take back the boat that my second brother is driving now and rent it to someone else. It doesn't make any difference."

"The boat you took out to cooperate with them is easy to deal with. You can just take it back when the time comes. As for the old boat I gave to your eldest brother and second brother, I don't know what they plan to do with it."

"Just let them return it to you. They already have their own new boat anyway, and they don't have time to sail the old one anymore. You gave it to them directly instead of asking them to pay for it. Even though you charged them some rent at the beginning, that's what you should do."

Father Ye frowned and was a little entangled. "There are too many ships. It's really troublesome. I don't know what they are planning. If I give it to you, I don't have time to drive it, and I can't go to receive the goods. I have to help you drive the boat."

"Why order so many boats? Why should we learn from you? They don't have that many people. Now they don't know who to entrust the boats to."

He didn't care what his elder and second brothers did to the old boat. After they got their boats, he would just have to take his own boat back.

"Don't worry about no one renting it. In the future, the eldest and second sisters-in-law will just keep an eye on the receiving of the goods. If the eldest brother returns the old boat, if you are not free, I will have someone take over your boat as well. When the time comes, just give the cargo list to mother separately. There is only one boat, so there won't be any trouble."

"Let's talk about it later. At least we have to wait until after the flood season and the birthday of Mazu Temple to see what they plan to do. If they are reluctant to part with it, then let them keep it. I won't have to worry about it. Anyway, I am old and can't work for many more years."

"If you can't work for a few years, come to my place to watch the gate, bask in the sun and brag."

"It's okay to just blow the sea breeze, but what's so great about that? What can I brag about? Do you think I'm your mother..."

"What did you say about me again, old man? I knew you were a bad person. You must have said bad things about me behind my back, and now I caught you."

As soon as Ye's mother's voice came out, Ye's father jumped up in fright and was very panicked.

You really can't say bad things about people behind their backs. I was caught before I even started talking, and I have no way to defend myself.

"Where did I say anything bad about you? Where did your ears go? You are already hard of hearing even though you are not even 70 or 80 years old. My mother's hearing is better than yours."

"I clearly heard you mention me, and it wasn't a good thing..."

"Don't be so unreasonable. Dongzi said that when I can't work anymore, I should come to watch the gate for him. There will be someone to talk to..."

"So what you mean is that I'm a bad-mouthed person and suitable to come here."

"I didn't say that, you said it yourself."

Ye's mother glared at him.

Ye Yaodong immediately changed the subject, "Why did you come here all of a sudden?"

"Call you guys to eat, what else can I do?"

He looked at his watch before putting down the work at hand. "It's almost time for dinner. Let's go eat."

Father Ye also quickly put down the work at hand, "I feel like I didn't do anything. I was busy with the two girls the whole afternoon. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone back to my hometown to get bamboo to weave baskets..."

"They are watching here at night anyway, so let them continue to tie them up. We can go collect the longlines tomorrow morning after we wake up and throw these branches into the sea. Let's put them down earlier and see if we can collect them earlier. I just saw some people who came back from the dock earlier, saying that they saw squids in the trawl nets."

"Your elder and second brothers haven't come back yet. Let's ask them when they come back. Why don't we go tonight?"

"I won't go. Anyway, I know there are one or two Noctiluca scintillans. They will probably be there in the next two days. This year is a little later than in previous years."

"The Gregorian calendar is not accurate. Last year, Mazu's birthday was in mid-to-late April, but this year it's in mid-May, almost a month late. Even the weather is slow to warm up. Cuttlefish spawn based on the temperature, so it's a little late."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and it seemed to be true. Last year, Mazu’s birthday was before May 1st, but this year it was in mid-May.

"During the birthday of Mazu this year, the flood season will be almost over, and the young and middle-aged people in the village will probably be able to spare some time to carry the sedan chair in the parade."

"Even if you don't have time, you have to make some time..."

Seeing that the father and son were talking about business while walking, Ye's mother stopped making trouble.

But after sitting down at the dinner table, she didn't change her gossipy nature.

"I heard that Old Man Wang went to Pei's house again today, but he came to nothing because his in-laws went out to sea at night. Then his wife happened to run into Ma Lifang who was coming back from washing clothes. The two of them had a quarrel and Ma Lifang went home crying in anger."

"Didn't they all refuse?"

"I heard that he was unwilling to give up and didn't want to miss the opportunity to enjoy himself, so he thought about it for two days and ran away again."

"They are unwilling to give up all their efforts. They originally decided to divorce in the hope of marrying up with someone richer. Now that Uncle Pei is not happy, they must feel that their divorce was in vain and they didn't get any benefits."

Lin Xiuqing also chimed in, "If Uncle Pei hasn't decided who to look for, I guess they won't give up so easily and will definitely come again."

"Of course. We are the only ones in the village who have a better life than my in-laws. Others can't even catch up. It just so happens that my in-laws have been alone for many years. Recently, there have been rumors that they want to find a partner again. Isn't that why they are being targeted?"

"I definitely can't call him Uncle Pei, so I'll call Old Man Wang Dad!"

Father Ye spat out a mouthful of soup.

"Oh, do you have to be so disgusting? How can I eat this?" Ye's mother slapped him angrily, "You are old, and the older you get, the more 'dispatched' you are. You have to eat the whole table of dishes by yourself."

The others also looked at Ye's father with disgust and indescribable expressions.

"This is not Dongzi talking nonsense. I just couldn't help myself. Old man Wang is not much older than my in-laws. It's embarrassing enough."

"People have already rejected it, and you can still think so far."

"A couple of days ago, I had an image in my mind of Guang calling Haozi's ex-wife - mother."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but slap him several times, "Don't talk nonsense, if Guang finds out, he will be so angry that he will run back and strangle you to death first."

The old lady glanced at him disapprovingly, "Don't talk nonsense. How can you make such a mess?"

"The world is so big that there are all kinds of things. There are even more chaotic things than this. Anyway, when Uncle Pei comes back next time, we must not let them come to our door and jump around. Let's eat... Forget it, Ah Qing, go and fry two more eggs. How can we eat this?"

"I'll go, it's so disgusting... He has to eat all the food on the table by himself. If he doesn't finish it, I'll poke him..."

Mother Ye glared at Father Ye with disdain, then got up and started the fire again to prepare two dishes.

Fortunately, they had just finished cooking, and they were just stirring the ashes in the stove to cover the flames. There was still light inside, so they just had to stir it a few times with the fire tongs and stuff a handful of straw in, and the fire would be lit again without wasting matches.

After the vegetables were cooked, a ladle of water was scooped into the pot, which had already become scalding due to the residual light. After testing the water temperature, Ye's mother simply beat three eggs, added some water, and prepared to stew a bowl of steamed eggs for the children to go with rice.

Then I grabbed a handful of dried fish and stacked it on top of the steamed egg to steam it, so as not to waste the boiling water in the pot. I could cook two dishes at a time and it would be faster.

Then she grabbed a large plate of dried shrimps and poured a bowl of rice wine on the table for everyone to drink.

Shrimp dipped in rice wine and eaten with rice has a unique flavor, and this is probably the way they eat it here.

After Ye's father occupied the whole table of dishes by himself, he wanted to use his chopsticks to pick up some dried shrimps, but the old lady hit him on the back of his hand with the chopsticks and glared at him.

"You eat your food."

Father Ye felt it was quite boring, so he put away his chopsticks and said to Ye Yaodong for no reason: "We have been digging stones for several days, and we have recently started laying the foundation. The loess on the mountain and the stones in the river are all ready. The workers can just carry them up the mountain. Even the sand needs to be bought in the next few days."

"I will ask your mother to advance the money first, and then we can settle the bill together after the tomb is repaired, and everyone will share the share."

"Because we are repairing the tomb on the mountain, the workers are not provided with meals. Otherwise, we would not have to hire someone to cook, buy groceries and deliver meals. It would be difficult and troublesome to settle the bill with those people. So we let the workers bring their own food, and the meal subsidy will be included in the daily wages."

"Your mother and I have saved some money. You three brothers don't need to help with the cost of repairing the tomb. We can pay for it ourselves. This is originally a matter between me and your uncles."

Ye Yaodong nodded. Originally, his father had been following up the mountain all the time, and had not asked the three brothers to help. They had no time to get involved at all. They were just waiting for the time when they were asked to contribute money, and then the three brothers would each take the share.

Now that they don't have to pay, it will be easier for them.

"Also, if you have time and go to the county town, go ask the leaders what happened to the pirates who were sent there a while ago? Were they shot or sentenced directly? It would be easier to feel at ease if you find out."

"Okay, the situation is so bad that we can't get out, but it's on the way anyway, so I have to go to the shipyard to ask... Oh, no need, today is Sunday, has Ah Hai come back? Ask him about the progress of my ship's repairs."

As for Director Chen, I'll wait until he's free to ask him. By the way, he also wants to know if there are any follow-up developments regarding the canned fish and caviar. It's been a month, so there should be some progress, right?
"Probably not yet. Wait for him to get off work and ride back. It's almost dark now. It's still light now. It should be around the corner after dinner. Ask him if he has anything to say."

When he went to drive the boat the day before yesterday, he just said that there was no diesel engine with greater horsepower than the one on the captured boat, and suggested that he just swap it.

Ye Yaodong also agreed. He didn't know whether the replacement had been made. He would also ask about the progress of the repair of Ahai's ship and whether anyone had been arranged. This could not be delayed by the shipyard.

Ah Hai went to the shipyard several times and got a formal job. With his mother reminding him from time to time to work hard and not follow his father's old path, he should work hard to learn skills and become a formal worker. Ah Hai seemed to have matured a little. He no longer fooled around with his younger brothers and sisters and betrayed his younger brother.

And when he wasn't paying close attention, he had grown a lot taller. When he stood next to him, he was already as tall as his shoulder and as tall as his biological father.

It looks like I should be able to surpass my height in my previous life.

After asking about the ship, I also learned about his recent odd jobs in the shipyard, and it seemed that he was adapting well to it.

"Do a good job. From now on, all the ships in this area will depend on you to repair them, and I will also depend on you to build my aircraft carrier."

"Don't be ridiculous, Third Uncle. I don't have that ability."

"There must always be a goal. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

"Forget it, as long as I can make a living."

"The squid season is coming soon. You can go out to sea to pick up squids again. How happy!"

Ye Chenghai's face instantly fell, full of frustration, "What's there to be happy about? Third uncle, you're mocking me again. This will make me peel off several layers of skin, and there's no benefit at all. It's obviously a nightmare."

"Bring Ye Chenghe along as well. The two brothers will certainly share happiness and hardship. He will be 13 after the Chinese New Year, right? He may be a little short, but he's old enough to be taken out to work. We should at least bring him along this year, right?"

Ye Chenghe's height is probably only suitable for sitting at the first or second table.

Ye Chenghai instantly perked up, "Right! He must suffer the same pain that I suffered. He can't just exploit me. This year it must be his turn."

Ye Chenghe, who was playing with beads, suddenly sneezed, wiped it with his sleeve, and continued to lie there and aim.

Little did I know that the days of suffering were about to come.

"That is to say, if any child plays all day, you have to help with the work. Normally, I don't expect you to do anything, but now that we need you, of course you have to help."

Ye Chenghai nodded happily.

He feels balanced when he has someone to suffer with him.

"I'm going to talk to my mother now. She also asked us to get up at dawn tomorrow and go up the mountain with her to cut branches, and then go to school at noon. She said that she couldn't cut enough branches if she went up the mountain alone today."

"Ah."

Ye Chenghai went to find his mother excitedly. He was good at tricking his younger brother.

Ye Yaodong leaned against the door, still thinking that it was almost the end of the month again. In two days, Brother Asheng and his eldest cousin would come over to settle the accounts.

Now there are a total of three boats for rent. These two people rented one each, and the other one was shared with his eldest brother and second brother. The three of them shared the profits from the two boats equally.

The weather was good after the Chinese New Year. I went out to sea on the 1st of last month and settled the accounts on the 30th. The income for the whole month was quite good, and I had been out to sea for more than half a month.

This month is looking good, and we’re about to start catching squid, which will be another big income.

Thinking of this, he thought that maybe he could settle this month's accounts tomorrow. It was the end of the month anyway, and there would not be much difference between settling on the 25th and the 30th.

Then the squid season is over and we can settle accounts again. In this way, everyone can get a full income from squid. And when the squid season comes to an end, almost the whole village can take a few days off for the birthday of Mazu.

It's a pity that no one knows when the seized fishing boat can be repaired. The factory was asked to repair the big boat first and then the small boat. It seems that he will have to call the factory when he returns from the sea tomorrow and ask them to repair the small boat first.

Let's see if it can be repaired within the next four or five days. If it is repaired, he will drive it back and each of him and his father will have a boat, and bring some boatmen with them, just in time for this squid season. Otherwise, they will lose a lot of money.

Just as he was standing there alone thinking about something, a pair of leather shoes suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him. He was stunned for a moment and looked up.

"Fuck, you're really elusive. Even ghosts are not as hard to see as you."

"have you seen?"

“I’ve dreamt about it.”

"My wife said you were looking for me a few days ago. I happened to be back today, so I came to see you."

"Why don't you wait until ten or twelve today?"

Lin Jishang ignored his jokes and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to their conversation, he asked directly in a low voice, "Are you asking me about caviar?"

"Yes, and a telescope."

"You'll have to wait a few days for the telescope. You can get the caviar, but the price will be very low."

"How much is a can?"

"1 cent per gram, and your can weighs about 1 grams."

Ye Yaodong couldn't believe it. "So a can is only 10 yuan? Why is it so dark? Isn't this thing said to be more valuable than gold? Isn't gold or yuan per gram? One coin is about yuan."

"It's not that exaggerated. How can domestic caviar be more expensive than gold? We don't even know what kind of fish your caviar is from, so we can't tell. It also doesn't come from a legitimate source. Although you fished it out of the sea, it's still a problematic product, so I can only give you the lowest price for the most common caviar."

"Then this price is too exaggerated. If it's not valuable, why would they take so many risks and cover it up with canned fish?"

Lin Jishang shrugged, "Anyway, I can only give you this price since we asked you. If we sell this kind of thing, we will definitely have to repackage it. After all, it is stolen goods, so we will bear a greater risk. If you don't want to sell it, I don't mind."

"Fuck, let me think about it."

He still has 7 boxes and more than 300 cans left. If you really calculate according to his price, he can sell them for more than 3000 yuan each. But it is far from what he expected. Even if only one in ten is left, the price cannot be compared with gold, and it has never been so low.

"Then think about it. I have to go out again tomorrow. The next time I come back will probably be Mazu's birthday. If you have made up your mind, tell me when it is Mazu's birthday. If it is too long ago, I don't want to tell you because I am afraid the date will not be fresh."

"You have such a dark heart!"

Ye Yaodong cursed him in his heart for being a black-hearted guy. He had originally had a good impression of him, thinking that he was a capable and capable person.

Now it's obvious that they have him in their grasp and they have no choice but to find him to get rid of it, so they are trying their best to lower the price.

10 yuan is not a small amount of money, and more than 3000 yuan is a lot of money. The ingredients are accurate, so he can't just keep it for himself.

Damn, what a dog!

His heart is even darker than his.

They even set a deadline and planned to just run away, without giving him the chance to think about coming back to negotiate a price.

Lin Jishang grinned, "What you put in is proportional to what you gain. I am a businessman, and not just an ordinary businessman. I want to make money, so I am definitely not that kind."

"What's more, the construction of these two workshops on the shore has caused me a lot of trouble. Shouldn't you compensate me generously?"

Ye Yaodong was stunned. Now that he said that, it really was true?

Once the two workshops were built over there, how could he, who was used to walking at night, go to the village dock and unload the goods at the village dock?

We directly cut off one of his strongholds, but didn't cause trouble to his workshop. It was a good thing that we made him unable to run it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly panicked. Fortunately, this ruthless man did not burn down his two workshops, otherwise he would really have to pay the price.

After Ye Yaodong figured it out, he laughed awkwardly.

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just thought that there was no large flat open space in the village, and the open space by the beach was larger. Why didn't you remind me at the time?"

"Is it too late? I'll be gone for half a month or a month, and when I come back I'll see that you've already built the wall. What else can I say?"

“Haha, haha~”

"Please consider the price. This is the price at most. If it's okay, it's okay. If it's not okay, it's not okay. If there's nothing else, I'll..."

"Is the price really worth talking about?"

"Nothing to say."

Ye Yaodong gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Forget it, let's do as you say. This will be used as compensation for your losses."

It hurts, even though it was picked up from the sea for free, but it is still money.

I suddenly felt like I had missed out on a lot of money.

If Lin Ji Shang gets this thing, it will definitely be worth at least ten times as much.

It’s a huge loss, you are so cruel.

Just think of it as buying peace of mind.

"Great! I'll come back to move the goods at night, so we can take them all away tomorrow."

"alright."

"Don't feel bad about it. This is from Haidilao, too. Plus a batch of canned fish, it's 1 yuan. You got 1 yuan for free. Why should you feel bad about it?"

"But you can make 10 yuan by reselling it, which makes me uncomfortable. It's more uncomfortable to see you making money than me losing money."

"Fuck! I don't make money, why would I accept your goods?"

"Oh... I feel so sad. You didn't object even though the profit increased tenfold, so you must have made more money..."

"Come on, I'm just a small fry, how much can I earn?"

"It's hard to say, I feel like 10 times is an understatement, which makes me feel even worse."

Seeing his heartbroken and resentful expression, Lin Ji felt in a good mood. "Forget it, I'll give you a telescope. When I have one, I'll bring it to you."

Ye Yaodong was immediately cheered up. It would be good to have some compensation, and it would be even better if it was more.

"Just a telescope?"

"if not?"

"Another refrigerator?"

"Are you dreaming?"

"How about a set of sofas?"

"In your dreams!"

"otherwise……"

"Don't give me the telescope, I guess you don't think much of that little thing."

"Why not? Since Boss Lin is so kind, I will accept it with reluctance."

"Don't force it."

“This one can be forced.”

Lin Jishang laughed twice, "You are quite interesting in your way of speaking."

"It's okay, I just feel so sad."

"Then why don't I give it back to you and I don't want it anymore?"

"Alas, I'm afraid you'll burn down both of my workshops."

"Haha~"

Ye Yaodong looked at his expression and didn't refute directly, but he knew that this bastard might have really had this idea, damn it.

He was just an ordinary fisherman. Although he had made some fortune in the past, he was just lazy and had no ambition. At most, he could fight a few times. How could he be as ruthless as such a ruthless man?
At most he killed chickens and ducks.

Moreover, in his next life, he only wants to live in peace and prosperity, with a wife and children and a warm bed. He does not want to fight to the death.

Lin Jishang probably doesn't want to fight him to the death, so he must be playing it safe.

"Ahem, have you donated money for Mazu's birthday?"

"What should I donate? It's not my turn. Don't we have the boss? The boss is so rich and generous. He donated 500 yuan at once. Why does he need me to donate anything? I'm just a shoe shiner."

Let’s not talk about it. He estimated that what this guy donated in a year was enough for the village committee to eat, and there was no need to donate more. After all, he was often elusive and not at home every day.

"What time will you come at night?"

"Didn't you say ten or twelve o'clock before?"

"Well, luckily I didn't go out to sea tonight, so I can wait."

"Didn't you bring back a new ship? As soon as you came back, I heard about your heroic deeds. Every time you come back, the village spreads your legend, and each time it is different."

"I'm not the only new thing happening in the village. There are many other things happening..."

"I really only pay attention to you. I'm not really interested in listening to other people's."

“You don’t have to pay attention to me.”

"It's worth paying attention to the richest man in Baisha Village."

"Haha, how can I compare with you? I'm far behind. I'm only a fraction of yours."

"I'm leaving now."
