"It's the festival today, are you going out for shopping too?"

"No, I'm giving something to other friends." He hesitated, opened the iron box he was holding, then took out a lighter and handed it to Ye Yaodong.

"Send it to you."

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Lighter?"

"You know him?"

"Ah? What don't you know about a lighter?" He took it with a smile and slid it twice, watching the handful of small flames rise and then go out.

Fang Jingfu looked at him inquiringly, and found that he was still playing so skillfully, as if he was using a lighter frequently.

He asked with a smile: "I'm telling you, this thing is as bad as the street. Although this is produced by a small workshop here, the metal one is not cheap. It costs several hundred yuan compared to Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, but it is not cheap."

It costs dozens of dollars each.”

Ye Yaodong was surprised again. He had long heard that the local lighters were particularly famous. Especially in this era, there are small family workshops everywhere. This is how the local lighter companies have emerged.

He looked at the metal lighter in his hand again, and explained with a smile, "I didn't say this thing is trash, I'm just surprised that you gave me such a generous gift of a lighter. This one is very expensive, and the cheap ones cost dozens of dollars."

If it were a friendship store, it would be several hundred dollars."

I almost forgot that today's lighters are also luxury goods, and they are not just one yuan a piece on the street.

He can't even use a lighter now, and the sliding technique just now was so skillful...

Fang Jingfu was very proud, "You know quite well. This was researched by my brother this year. His friend brought it back from other places as a gift to him during the Chinese New Year. However, my brother took apart the lighter and studied its structure and ignition principle. Unexpectedly,

It was really researched by him. I made it myself, so I don’t feel bad sending it away.”

"Holy shit, you made it yourself? Isn't that awesome? Your family is full of talents? Have you researched and produced lighters? Are your whole family engaged in research?"

"That's not the case, I don't know anything."

"Now that you have researched this, are you going to set up a small workshop? Then make it bigger and stronger, become a big company, export it, destroy Japan and South Korea, and make them sell it so expensively!"

"Hey, the workshop is already working on it. This is just produced. I just got a batch to give to a friend. I happened to meet you and gave you one."

"Good brother, this lighter of yours looks no different from the lighters from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. If the price is lower, we will definitely occupy the market quickly and make a fortune."

"Haha, you really know the goods. I'll give it to my friends first so that they can promote it."

"Such a good thing doesn't need to be publicized. As soon as it appears on the market, it will definitely be snapped up. Smokers are available everywhere, not to mention they can be used for cooking. Every family has a need. It is much more convenient than matches. A box

Matches also cost 5 cents, just twenty or thirty."

Fang Jingfu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I'll leave now. See you later."

Although Ye Yaodong was quite curious and had a lot to ask, he felt that they were not familiar with each other yet, so he waved his hand and stopped disturbing his work.

He played with the lighter in his hand, lighting it up and letting go. He was having a great time, and he didn't feel distressed at all. Passers-by felt very distressed when they saw it.

"Finally, we have a lighter. When I saw it in the Youyi Store, I was almost shocked by the price. A broken lighter actually cost two to three hundred. A bicycle that has been ridden for decades has never been that expensive. Damn, local lighters.

It looks like it’s about to rise.”

He muttered as he walked. After he had enough fun, he took out the cigarettes in his pocket and lit one for himself. He continued to hold a lighter in his other hand and lit it, playing as he walked.

"Brother, you are wasting your time playing with lighters. Can you lend me a lighter?"

Hearing someone talking to him, he stopped and saw that the person was staring at the lighter he was playing with, and he also had a cigarette in his hand. He also knew that he wanted to catch a light, so he gave it to them generously.

Light a fire.

"Be generous, brother."

"Haha, I'm from out of town and can't understand you."

The young man opposite raised his eyebrows in surprise and said in Mandarin, "Oh, so, where are you from? What do you do?"

"I'm from Fujian Province, a fisherman."

The man was even more surprised and frowned, "Fishermen? Are they true or false? Are you just talking nonsense?"

"Haha, what's so good about this? I don't know you, and you don't know me. I just met you casually on the road. What's so bad? I'm just a fisherman. Hehe, let's go now."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he put away the lighter, put one hand in his pocket, smoked with one hand, and continued to walk his own way.

Believe it or not, what happened to the fishermen?

Hey, maybe you won’t have as much money as him in your lifetime.

He has 2 workshops, 5 shops, 13 acres of land, a house here, 17 trawlers, a Dongsheng, a fresh harvest boat, three large partnership boats, and the Harvest.

I also have a deposit of 200,000 yuan and a number of treasures at home.

Although some fishing boats have not yet arrived, it is only a matter of time.

Seeing him frown made him unhappy.

But as I walked, I felt in a good mood again. Why should I care about someone I don’t know?

He went home happily and showed the lighter to his father. The surprised father asked him what it was and it could make fire out of thin air.

Ordinary people in rural areas really only know matches now, and have never seen lighters. Some people living in the mountains may still use flints.

Ye Yaodong gave his father some knowledge about lighters, which made his father marvel.

"Your new friend is so good, he can even give you such a valuable thing."

He nodded. Indeed, Fang Jingfu seemed to be a pretty good person. Although he was a chatterbox, the second generation seemed to be quite easy to get along with and did not discriminate against him as a foreigner.

Maybe they are highly educated and have traveled a lot, so they are not as exclusive as the locals.

"Indeed, it's just the second time we've met."

"Next time, give him something as well. We have to reciprocate and not take advantage of others."

"knew."

Father Ye touched his pocket but couldn't find a cigarette. "Give me a cigarette and light it to try."

Ye Yaodong gave him the entire box of cigarettes.

"No, no, just give me one. I'm not used to smoking this cigarette. It's still on top of the hookah, so I'll just light one and give it a try."

"Whatever you want, you can order it if you want."

"What a waste."

"You think it won't be wasted if you light up a cigarette? It's even more wasteful, because you are not used to smoking this cigarette in the first place."

Father Ye ignored him and played with the lighter for a long time, and even tried to light his hookah. As a result, he burned himself and choked as soon as he took a sip.

I coughed for a long time before I could calm myself down.

"No, no, this thing is not easy to use, but matches are better. Pulling one can make me slurp for several times until it burns to the bottom."

"Silly!" Ye Yaodong put the lighter away and put it in his pocket.

Others looked at it with envy, but they didn't dare to borrow such a valuable thing, they could only look at it or say a few words.

Ye Yaodong crossed his legs, thinking about what to send back to Fang Jingfu. It seemed to him that lighters were just junk items, but they were indeed rare now, and this metal one was not cheap either.

However, looking at someone who is a college student and a second-generation person with a relatively small background, I feel like I don’t lack anything, which is very nerve-wracking.

Unexpectedly, he temporarily forgot about it. Anyway, people gave things away without asking for anything in return. As I said just now, they were originally made by themselves, so they didn't feel bad when they gave them away.

Everyone was busy there, killing chickens and ducks, washing and cutting vegetables, and cooking. But the father and his son had their feet up, one was playing with a lighter, and the other had his hands behind his back, looking here and there, looking more like Ye Yaodong.

boss.

Father Ye is becoming more and more like President Ye’s father.

Father Ye walked around in a big circle, and then came to Ye Yaodong's side when he had nothing to do. "We will go back in half a month, what are you going to do with this house?"

Ye Yaodong played with the lighter and paused, "I'll think about it later."

"You have to find someone to look after the house or rent it out. Otherwise, the house will be ruined easily even if no one comes to occupy it."

"Let me think about it."

"Or ask the neighbors to help watch?"

"I'm afraid that the neighbors will move in after seeing it, and it will be difficult to catch up when the time comes. After all, they live nearby and are more familiar with the people nearby than we are."

"Then put up a notice and rent it out?"

"Okay, let's give it a try and see if anyone rents it."

"Then you should write a notice and post it at the gate tomorrow. Get it done early. Otherwise, if no one rents it temporarily, you will have to think of other ways."

Ye Yaodong nodded. Since they are going back, how to deal with this house is indeed a big problem. After all, they will still come here next year. He is already the vice president, so he will definitely have to come here every year to report for a few months.

Let’s try it first.

"The food is ready, do you want to eat?"

"Should you eat it as soon as it's cooked?"

Ye Yaodong heard them running out to ask, so he stood up and asked them to start eating directly.

They were all rough people and not so particular. As soon as they finished cooking, they started eating the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner at noon and started drinking.
