The people at their table were all discussing in a lively manner, some were even gloating about his misfortune, and they were still betting on whether he could sell out, or whether he would have to sell it until dawn.

No one is optimistic about them, and the banner of standing in line is very clear.

Ye Yaodong only listened with his ears open and did not express any opinions. Didn't these people give him all the opinions that should be expressed? They were all just talking.

After the night passed, he heard that he hadn't come back in the early morning.

It wasn't until seven or eight o'clock that he saw A Guang coming over with a big dark circle under his eyes, a haggard face, and a shaggy beard.

"My father is going to kill me, please help me."

Ye Yaodong looked at him in surprise, "You haven't slept all night, and you have stayed up until now?"

"Isn't that right? Now he knows how powerful it is. Without you, Laoduo's goods can't be sold, and he has to wait until now. Other fish and shrimps are okay and can be sold, but there are too many hairtails, and the dock has been closed recently.

They are all slices of hairtail, and the ones that can’t be sold out are all hairtail, but other items are selling well.”

"Why don't I come here to ask you shamelessly? There are only a few other goods left. It doesn't matter. Let's just kill them and dry them. These hairtails are still fresh and there are a lot of them. I still have to trouble you.

Already."

"I was also thinking about bringing in fish in the factory. There are so many left, so other fish traders don't dare to bother you. I'll fix this and have to come back to you again."

"Otherwise, those goods would have been wasted. That would be a pity. Do you think we can still have them? It's fine if you don't count on them. Just don't waste them. After all, they were fished out of the sea."

A Guang was full of resentment. He stayed up all night with Gan Gan and was also very angry. It happened to be his own father, so he could only help clean up the mess and come here shamelessly.

Ye Yaodong saw that he had become so haggard and virtuous, but he did not say any words of rejection. His father is his father, and he is him.

"How much is left?"

"Three tons, right? There should be five or six thousand kilograms. After selling part of it, there is still so much left."

"That's quite a lot."

"That is to say, he has been scolding me all night. He is probably angry and anxious, and his mouth is full of blisters. He was blown by the cold wind all night. He just fell down when he went back. I have to ask someone to take him.

He went to the doctor to get medicine. I was so upset that I was so angry that he died..."

"Okay, don't be angry. Take him to the doctor quickly. He's already getting old. It's not easy to recover from illness. He doesn't have the immunity as good as young people. Let's take a good rest at home for a few days."

Ye Yaodong did not add insult to injury. He said a few words of comfort and then said: "I don't dare to guarantee those goods."

He looked at the watch on his wrist again and said, "You should come here early. Let me take a look with you first, and then call a car to take it to the factory to have a look. It's best if you can collect it. If you don't, you can only take it.

When I came back, I bought a few hundred kilograms of salt and marinated it at home."

Pickling is the easiest method, and it is easier than killing and drying.

"That's all we can do, let's try it first and really get killed by him."

"Do you want to accompany your father to see a doctor and get medicine first?"

"No, I've already asked someone to take him to the clinic for medical treatment. I'm going to the factory with you, so I can't leave everything to you."

"good."

He didn't have anything to bring, so he just followed A Guang.

Fortunately, after the factory asked repeatedly whether it was Ye Yaodong's goods, they didn't say they didn't want it. They just thought they delivered it later than usual.

But what he said is that the goods delivered every day have increased significantly recently, and a lot more people have been hired. If he hadn't specifically requested the goods, he would definitely not have wanted them at this time, for fear that he wouldn't be able to do it that day.

The hairtail fish season has recently arrived, and the demand in the factory has become even greater.

The quality of local hairtail fish is good, and now the price is even cheaper, so it’s a good time to stock up.

Zhou City belongs to the sea area of ​​​​the Shengsi Islands, with four distinct seasons. It is also located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Qiantang River, and Yongjiang River, and is rich in bait.

Coupled with the low salt content of the sea water, Zhou City's hairtail has fine meat and good taste.

The dried shrimp skin is also low in salt. The dry dried shrimp skin tastes good and is not salty.

The common hairtails on the market mainly include "East China Sea Hairtail" and "Ocean Hairtail". Hairtails in the Indian Ocean and other ocean waters are large in size, have big eyes, and have raised bones on their backs. Their skin is thick, and their scales are not easy to fall off. They are attractive in appearance.

very good.

However, the meat quality is generally much rougher and the nutrition is not as good as the hairtail fish produced in the East China Sea.

That’s why the hairtail here is becoming more famous every year.

By 2024, a pound of hairtail during the Chinese New Year can be sold for one or two hundred yuan, and this is still in coastal areas where seafood is abundant.

When Ye Yaodong was weighing the goods, he saw several trucks of their goods being transported out. He also saw that the Shopee fish products fell all over the floor, and he just swept them away with a broom.

After all the goods in the cart were sold, Aguang breathed a sigh of relief. He also counted half of the money and handed it to Ye Yaodong.

"Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

"Definitely, without you, I would have to bring all these things back again. I would also have to arrange time-consuming arrangements for people to pickle them. It would be a headache to store them everywhere. I would probably have to beg you to buy them again when I get back. Take it.

.”

Ye Yaodong accepted it without any courtesy. If he had received the goods earlier, why would there be so much trouble? He still had to let him earn the money.

"Go back, eat something quickly, and lie down to sleep."

"I have to see if my father and the others are back first, and I have to worry about his condition."

"Logically, I should go and visit him, but, I'm worried that he will be angry if he sees me, so I won't go there yet."

I also knew that I must have been yelling at him, blaming him for not accepting the goods and turning around and leaving. I didn't say a few more words to give him a chance to redeem myself, and just opened my mouth and let him sell it by himself.

This night must have been quite tiring.

"It's okay. Just give him some time. In a few days, he will recover and his mind will turn around."

"Um."

After Ye Yaodong returned home, a group of idle workers immediately gathered around him, gossiping and asking questions.

He said directly: "I have helped him sell the remaining goods..."

"Why did you help sell it? You should let him pull it back again. This will make it more painful and improve your memory."

"That won't work. If Lao Pei doesn't uphold justice and return to Lao Pei, A Guang is different after all, and he's not an outsider. We're all here, so we can't make things too tense."

"I heard he's sick?"

"I'll probably regret this hard work..."

"Do they have to beg you to accept it again?"

Ye Yaodong shook his head, "Not yet. I probably have to rest at home for a few days and won't go to sea. Let's talk about it when we go to sea."

Not going to sea is also a loss, and it is indeed painful enough.

Lost money and fell ill.

Others started discussing it again, and even the people who stayed behind on other fishing boats knew about it.

By evening, all the villagers here knew about it.

Everyone continued to discuss it for several days. When they met the workers hired by Aguang, they all had to inquire about Lao Pei's condition.

Even Ah Zheng and Xiaoxiao came over to chat with him for a few words, saying that Pei's father was very good at calculating, and he thought he deserved it, but he would definitely not say this out loud.

Ye Yaodong also met Li Shouguan who came to see him specially in the evening of that day.

"Why are there so many people here! Don't you even need to go to sea?"

When he came over and saw a crowd of men at the door, this was his first sentence.

"Haha, because the fishing boat I have is a small boat trawling. When I come back the same day, they sit together and chat in the evening, so it seems that there are many people."

Isn’t it all because of gossip about Pei’s father?

I don’t dare to go to Aguang’s side to gossip, but don’t I just go to him to gossip?

It was like a conference. In addition to those at sea and those who had not finished selling the goods, hundreds of people gathered here.

There are really too few entertainment activities, and this is for their own people. It is much more interesting than listening to the chaos on the pier.

"You have so many boats...Hurry up and show me the certificate of your vice president of the Fisheries Association..."

"If it's true, then I'll believe you. I'll let you collect the shop prices from several boats there, but you have to tell me a reasonable price."

"I came back today and sold some goods. Not to mention how easy it was to sell. Fortunately, I wasn't deceived by that unscrupulous harvester. It's still unsaleable. I'm unsaleable. His uncle just realized that I'm unfamiliar with the place and can't find anyone else.

.”

"Next time if he encounters me, give him a punch. It will delay my time, and I will have to wait until tomorrow before I can go to sea to make money."

Ye Yaodong smiled and led him to sit in the room, and showed him the certificate again, which made him feel relieved.

"Oh, I feel like I have found an organization. You have an officially recognized identity, so I can safely give you the goods. Don't blame me, little guy. After all, we have only met twice. This is the third time today.

I also have my worries, and I have to take responsibility for others."

"I understand. After all, you have stepped on thunder. Be careful when you go out. You can't make mistakes, and you can't trust others casually."

Ye Yaodong did not expect that his status as the vice president of the Fisheries Association would be so useful and that he could come in handy wherever he went.

When you go out, you still need to have some identity and background, so that your speech will be more trustworthy and walking will be easier.
