The next day, Ye Yaodong slept until he woke up naturally.

When he woke up, he saw Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu sitting at the door eating maltose syrup. Each of them took a chopstick and stirred while eating long strips. They looked very happy.

"Isn't this very good? Two people sitting side by side."

The old lady was listening to the radio and whispered: "She didn't know that A Guang was gone. She bought maltose early in the morning and A Guang put her down. It happened that Xiao Jiu also woke up, and the two of them sat obediently.

He didn't even look for it. Then he ran to the workshop and followed the tractor delivering fish sauce to the city."

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't see it. Anyway, there are things to play and eat here."

"Well, go and eat quickly."

"It seems the wind is quite strong this morning?"

"It's a little bit, but the sun is strong and the wind won't make you cold."

He stood at the door and looked at the beach not far away. The tide was low, and he didn't know whether the waves would be big from a distance.

Then he turned to look at the workshop. Inside the wall was a large area filled with fishing nets hanging to dry, or dried fish hanging to dry in sheets. It looked quite spectacular.

After being exposed to the sun for a day and a night, now from this distance, he could smell the salty aroma coming from not far away from his doorstep. Originally, it was just the sea breeze that would bring a bit of the fishy smell of the sea.

"It tastes authentic."

"What." The old lady didn't know what he was feeling.

"Nothing, I'm going to eat."

He was talking about the smell of dried fish produced by normal drying, not that produced by machine roasting, which means that people on the beach will get used to the fishy smell of the sea.

If you were in an inland area, you would probably frown upon arriving at a seaside fishing village.

A day without work was spent doing nothing and wandering around. In such a good weather, no one among the young and middle-aged people in the village was lazily hanging around at home. Except for the second-rate idlers, he was probably the only one.

However, the villagers all know that his family has a big business now, and no one will whisper behind his back. Instead, they greet him warmly when they see him.

Ye Yaodong also chose the path where the sun was shining, and strolled while basking in the sun. Some women were also mending and weaving nets in the sun, chatting and gossiping.

In the two days after I landed ashore, I could clearly feel the warmth brought by the wind blowing over me at home. It felt like spring and the flowers were blooming. It was already March.

It's not like being on the sea, where the wind blowing is cold and piercing like a knife. There is no breath of spring at all, and you still have to wear a hat and a scarf, wrapped tightly.

Before he could take a look around, he was surprised to see Lin Jishang, a dusty man carrying a sack, appearing on the path.

I just finished asking Ah Qing yesterday, and he showed up today.

"A Dong!"

What should we call him? Ah Shang?

Do you always feel that the two of you are familiar? Not familiar.

Don't you think we're familiar with each other? But we're quite familiar with each other, even though we didn't call each other in person, it's all yours, we just opened our mouths and said it.

Now that he is called A Shang, he always feels goosebumps all over the floor. He thinks it is weird no matter what. Although everyone in the village calls him that, he still feels weird.

The thought flashed, and I gave up calling him "A Shang" and went straight to talk about something.

"You're celebrating the New Year, where did you come back from? It's so dusty."

He looked unshaven, his face was haggard and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, as if he would fall to the ground and touch him the next moment.

"Just came back from overseas."

"Isn't it possible that you didn't celebrate the New Year at home?"

Lin Jishang nodded, looking at some women weaving nets in the surrounding open space, and turning to look at them curiously, he raised his voice slightly.

"I went out for a trip and found some ways to do business. Give me your dried fish weighing 5,000 kilograms the day after tomorrow. I'll arrange for a big truck to come over. If it can't fit, it's okay to stack it a little higher. Anyway, tie it up with a rope.

fixed."

"Ah?" Ye Yaodong was surprised for a moment and then quickly nodded in agreement, and pretended to be very happy and said: "This is great. Five thousand kilograms of goods were shipped at once. The way you found is very powerful. It seems that this year

You want to make a fortune."

He smiled and said: "No, no, I'm just average. I can't compare to you. I can only make a living, which is better than shining shoes."

"Where? I'm just a fisherman. I can't compare to you. I've only been hanging out in this fishing village all my life. You're different. You've already gone out. When will you make a name for yourself? I'll have to

I hope you can pull it out."

"Don't brag. It makes me embarrassed. Who doesn't know you from all over the country? Who am I? I have to count on you."

"That's not true. You are being humble. I have long seen that you are not like ordinary people. You dare to go out and have a try. How can ordinary people dare to run around? Look, you can find a way to sell dried fish now. You will definitely be more powerful in the future.

"If you can sell dried fish today, you can sell department stores tomorrow, and you can live in a building and drive a car next year."

"You first, you first, I don't have that ability yet..."

"Yes. When you drive a car, isn't it always a matter of time? Walk around and talk while walking. Is five thousand kilograms of dried fish enough? If it's not enough, I still have a lot in stock. I saved a lot before the year. Now after the New Year

Work started again..."

"Let me go home first and take a shower and have a rest. I'll go to your place to weigh goods tomorrow. I can't sleep well for a few days. It's so chaotic outside. There are a lot of robberies and robberies. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I won't even be able to sleep.

No one can come back, and you have to turn one eye when you sleep. It’s still the comfort and peace you get from making money in the village..."

"I can't go out, so I can only hang out in the village..."

"Everywhere, you have stores in the city, but you have a good sense and feel that there is chaos outside now, so you have to guard your own one-third of an acre..."

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that he could be praised like this. This kid is a character. No wonder he stayed behind in his previous life, steadily developed, and became a master.

The two of them walked far away while bragging. They also chose the main road in the village where there were many residents, and took a long detour, sending flares all the way.

The women around who heard the conversation between the two also whispered to each other and discussed the two.

"Lin Jishang also went into business?"

"Listening to their chat, it seems that he has a way to do business?"

"I heard that doing business outside is very risky now. You may never come back."

"How do you know?"

"Isn't this what you heard? They walked over just now and they didn't say there was chaos outside, there were robberies and robberies, and lives could be lost outside..."

"It's better to earn some money peacefully in the village. Ah Shang must have polished his shoes outside and hit a rich man. I heard that he didn't come back for the Chinese New Year this year. His wife said that he wanted to do more while there were many people during the New Year.

Work to earn more money, and now you suddenly come back and say there is a way, well, you can sell a lot of goods, isn't that just like meeting a rich person?"

"I didn't expect that polishing shoes could bring out benefits..."

"Don't tell me, anyone who can wear leather shoes must be rich, and he is willing to spend money to have his leather shoes polished. I will definitely go home and polish them myself."

"I think too much. I don't necessarily wear it for two days throughout the year. During the New Year and holidays, I wear it once and then put it away."

"That's also..."

Ye Yaodong accompanied Lin Jishang to brag for a while, and after firing some cannons, he said goodbye at the fork in the road and went back to his home.

The first time he came home, he called him Ah Qing.

"Aqing...Aqing..."

"She's in the workshop."

The old lady was basking in the sun at the door. Seeing that he hadn't stepped into the yard, she started shouting and hurriedly spoke out.

Ye Yaodong immediately turned around and headed to the workshop.

"Aqing...Aqing..."

"Next door, I ran to the open space over there to dry the fish..."

He then looked for the newly built workshop next to it.

"Every day, I have to look for you everywhere, working blindly, hiring so many people, and still working hard..."

Lin Xiuqing turned around and looked, "Why are you looking for me everywhere? If I'm not right here, where else can I go?"

"Lin Ji wants five thousand kilograms of dried fish. We have agreed that he will come to weigh it tomorrow morning or in the evening. If I am not at home after going to sea at night, and he comes to weigh it tomorrow, you can greet him and see what kind of dried fish he wants to go with.

Five thousand catties each.”

"Ah? Isn't he not at home?"

"I just came back and I met him on the road."

"Oh, that's okay. If we sell out five thousand kilograms at once, we can get rid of the mountain piled up in our own house. Or the warehouse next door is half empty and half of the house is piled up. Fortunately, construction just started after the new year.

No one has been sleeping in the house in the past two days. After clearing out half of the goods, we have room to put the more than 20,000 kilograms of goods that have been dried in the past two days."

"So it's just the right time for him to come back. We almost have no place to put it here. The half of it that's empty can just be used to store the goods that have been put out in the past two days."

"Did you tell him how much it cost?"

"No, he didn't ask, he just mentioned it. I also helped him brag to the villagers on the road. Anyway, it's up to you to see what he wants at that time and quote the wholesale price.

He probably doesn't know how to bargain, so we can ask whatever price we want. Five thousand kilograms of dried fish sounds like a lot, but it's nothing to him."

"That's true."
