Chapter 29: Scallops
When he went home in the morning, Yin Dong called Wang Haisheng's eldest brother Wang Haichao, and brought freshly steamed old noodles steamed buns from Wang's house, as well as a pot of white porridge and a few side dishes.
Before leaving, Yin Dong deliberately said: "Uncle Village Chief, Qiu always comes to investigate." ”
The village chief is the kind of old fox whose eyelashes are empty, and he understood what Yin Dong meant as soon as he heard it, waved his hand and said, "Uncle understands, there will be no gossip in the village." You and your brother Haichao entertain Mr. Qiu, get an investment project for our village, and find a way for the people in the village to make money. If you have any errands and chores, I will leave it to you Brother Haichao to do. ”
Seeing that the village chief understood what he meant, Yin Dong smiled and said with a lot of face: "How can it, Brother Haichao is the representative of our village, and I must do the errands." ”
"Come on, my brother can't be covered by you, just his stuffy gourd, he can't talk to Mr. Qiu at all. walked away, and the steamed buns were cold for a while. Wang Haisheng urged impatiently.
The queen mother was dissatisfied in the kitchen: "Your brother just talks less, where is the stuffy gourd, you dead boy is blindly arranging your brother in front of outsiders, are you begging for a beating!"
"Dongzi is not an outsider, what can't be said. Wang Haisheng said nonchalantly, dragged Yin Dong and hurried away, and complained when he went out: "The older a woman gets, the more broken her mouth becomes, and I won't marry a wife in the future." ”
Yin Dong smiled and didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that the queen mother's words, in addition to being unhappy that the village chief belittled his son and flattered him, also wanted to open up a relationship with him. Or rather, he was afraid that he would entangle her daughter.
The village chief's house is located in the middle of the village, the house is relatively large, it is also the old house handed down from the ancestors, the feng shui treasure land in the village, and it is also a rare blue brick house, with vines climbing on the courtyard wall, which is particularly magnificent in this fishing village that is basically wooden houses.
The queen mother has always looked down on the Yin family who lives in the west of the village, when Yin Dong's parents are still alive, even if the relationship between the two families is very good, she also has to show her superiority in front of Yin's mother from time to time.
Now even if Wang Haijiao is divorced, the queen mother is not happy to let her daughter eat Yin Dong's returning grass, especially since Yin Dong still has a child.
The village chief knew what was wrong with his wife, and secretly scolded his wife for her lack of eyesight, and now her two sons have to rely on the help of others, and it is her own family to be able to use a divorced daughter to tie Yin Dong, and she really has long hair and short knowledge! He was slightly embarrassed and said to Yin Dong: "Your aunt is just a broken mouth, don't answer her." ”
Yin Dong smiled slightly and opened the topic: "Even if Mr. Qiu investigates, he will not be sure of any investment projects for a while. However, our village can't sit back and wait for investors, we still have to find a way to make money on our own. For example, scallops and the like are generally picked up when they are eaten at home, and they are sold for small ones of up to three or four pieces, and large ones for five or six pieces, but if they are made into dried scallops, a few can be sold for one hundred and eighty, and good quality ones can be sold for one or two hundred. As long as the quantity is large, you can also make money by transporting it to the outside to sell. ”
"Is it easy to sell?" the village chief looked at him for a moment, then hesitated,
And he said, "Who will you sell it to? And that thing is worthless, and it can really be sold so much?"
"In this way, I still have a little spare money in my hand, so I will first throw stones and ask for directions, you find someone to pick up fresh scallops, I will pay according to the size, four small ones, six large ones, and then you will find someone to process them, and then I will sell them on the Internet. Anyway, the scallops are not fresh, so I'm not afraid of spoiling, let's see if we can sell them. ”
"How can you have spare money......
Without waiting for the village chief to finish speaking, Yin Dong interrupted him with a smile: "I caught some big yellow croaker yesterday and sold it to Mr. Qiu, plus the money from selling lobsters last time, I can have hundreds of thousands, and it doesn't cost much to buy scallops, and it's okay to lose money." ”
"Caught the big yellow croaker again?" exclaimed the village chief, and his two sons were staring at each other. He thought about it for a while, and felt that if his daughter could marry Yin Dong for the second time, he would really earn it.
Immediately, the smile on his face became thicker, and he said with a smile: "Dongzi, according to what you said, Uncle will find someone to buy and process scallops for you, and Uncle will also invest half of the money, so it will be regarded as a partnership between Haisheng and you, and the loss will be shared equally between you brothers." ”
"I'm casual. Yin Dong felt that this business would definitely not lose money, and it didn't matter if he brought Wang Haisheng, so he agreed to it.
The queen mother was so anxious that she ran out of the kitchen and shouted, "What does Haisheng know? What should I do if I really want to lose money? There is so much money in the family, and I still have to keep it for him to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
"Don't interject!" roared the village chief, his face down. He didn't believe that shells that didn't cost money could be sold so expensive, but what if he lost money? Didn't he hear Dongzi say that he caught some big yellow croaker yesterday, if he really lost money with Haisheng, could Dongzi not take Haisheng to fish and fill the shortfall?
Wang Haisheng doesn't have as many crooked intestines as his father, but he was surprised that the profits of dried scallops were so big, if he could really do this business, he would really be able to make a fortune, and it was not a one-shot deal, it could be done for a long time. He hooked Yin Dong's shoulders and asked with great interest: "Dongzi, how to make dried scallops, do you know?"
"Let's go to my house first, and after breakfast, I'll pick up some scallops and try to make them. I've read on the Internet that the production process is very simple, but it takes a little labor. Yin Dong slapped Wang Haisheng's hand away, and walked out casually.
"You hurry up and pick up the scallops, and send them to Dongzi's house later. After the village chief finished talking to his wife, he thought about it and changed his mind again: "Forget it, you won't go, Haichao, let your daughter-in-law pick it up, pick it up and send it to Dongzi's house." ”
Yin Dong, who walked outside the gate, heard it and couldn't help laughing, the village chief's uncle is still very resolute in his work, so it's okay, so he doesn't have to go to the beach to pick scallops.
After arriving home, Qiu Ying was already drinking porridge with Xiaobao in her arms, this scene was extremely warm, and Yin Dong's eyes were slightly astringent. Last night, he deliberately left Xiaobao at home, in fact, he also had a temptation. Seeing that Qiu Ying could really take care of Xiaobao, his suspicion that Qiu Ying was Ah Xia added a little more to his heart.
After Xiaobao saw Yin Dong, he didn't ask him to hug him, and obediently nested in her, but just said in a milky voice: "Eat...... Eat ......"
"Good, Xiaobao eats. Yin Dong smiled and touched Xiaobao's face, and asked Qiu Ying curiously, "You cooked it?"
Qiu Ying fed Xiaobao a spoonful of porridge, then glanced at the bamboo basket he brought back, and said lightly: "I didn't see anyone selling breakfast, so I cooked a pot of porridge and left some for you." ”
Yin Dong put the breakfast she brought back on the table, looked at the pot when she went into the kitchen to get the bowl, and couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth, she really cooked a pot, and she could keep more than a little, it was enough for him to eat for three days, and the bottom of the pot was still paste.
Qiu Ying watched him come out with a bowl of porridge from the kitchen, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she deliberately said, "It's a little mushy, or you won't eat this, eat the breakfast you brought back." ”
"I like to eat things that have a bit of a mushy taste. Yin Dong lied without blinking.
