Chapter 34: Preparations for the Holidays

Since the uncle is coming to Mid-Levels Village to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival must not be like in previous years, where each family fights alone. The whole family has to live together, after all, it is the first time for the uncle to come to meet everyone, so everyone attaches great importance to it. Not only are the uncles and aunts busy with their feet not touching the ground, but even the aunts and aunts also came over to help in advance. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two families will also come over for a reunion dinner.

Wang Yong and Wang Liang were naturally instructed by the elders to do this and that. Wang Yong was unsure of how to tell his aunt about inviting Yuanyuan's family to the village for the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the aunt suddenly remembered this and discussed with Wang Yong:

"Wang Yong! You give Yuanyuan a call and see if you can invite her over to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. I happened to meet your uncle too. ”

Since the aunt asked, Wang Yong didn't hide it and confessed directly to the aunt. He invited Yuanyuan's family to come to the village for the festival, and told his aunt what their family had promised.

When the aunt heard this, she got angry, and shouted at Wang Yong: "You kid, why didn't you say such a big thing earlier!" This is the first time my mother has come to the house. If you don't have any preparation, won't you lose the face of the old Wang family? ”

The eldest aunt and the old aunt also echoed: "Yes! You kid, why are you so unreliable, if this is according to our rules, this is to get married. It's not okay to arrange it well."

"That's it, fortunately, my sister-in-law mentioned it today, if you don't wait for your mother-in-law's family to come, why are we prepared, and we must not let the villagers laugh to death!"

The elders left a sentence and a sentence fell Wang Yonglai, so that Wang Liang on the side gloated. But it's still a brother at all, and when he saw that his eldest brother was in danger, he immediately activated his brain, which had an IQ of 180, and came up with an idea. After thinking of an idea, he immediately turned around and walked out the door. After a while, the courtyard remembered the voice of the second mother.

"Wang Yong's mother-in-law, is their family really going to come to our house for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Wang Yong, are you sure? The second wife, who was helped by Wang Liang to walk in, asked as soon as she entered the door.

After getting Wang Yong's affirmative answer, the second grandmother didn't care about Wang Yong, and immediately began to discuss with the aunt about arranging the reception, during which the aunt personally called Yuanyuan's home and discussed with Yuanyuan's mother for most of the day. As for what was discussed, Wang Yong, who was sent out to buy things by his aunt, is unknown.

There are not many vegetables to buy, and there are many varieties in the greenhouse at home, so you only need to buy a few things that are not planted. The key is meat, seafood. These things have to be traveled to the county seat or city. Wang Yong first drove to the wholesale farmers' market in the county seat. As the first county in the city in terms of economic strength and a famous tourist city, Li County has built a farmer's market quite well. There are countless facades in different categories. Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, business is quite hot. It can be said that it is crowded with people, rubbing shoulders.

According to the list of three elders, Wang Yong started a big purchase journey. Originally, it was just a family gathering, but because of Yuanyuan's family, it immediately changed its nature. According to the aunt, at noon, it was Wang Yong's target who came to have a room, and the evening was the family's Mid-Autumn Festival. Since it is to have a room, it can't just be the old Wang family, some relatives and people in the village must be notified. This is a matter of minimum etiquette, and after Wang Yong's strong objection was rejected by the second wife, Wang Yong had no choice but to accept his fate. Originally, I wanted to be alone with Yuanyuan for a while, but because of politeness and etiquette, I sent an invitation to Yuanyuan's parents, who knew that his parents actually agreed, and what I didn't expect was that the uncle, a busy man, was going back to his hometown for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and what he didn't expect was that it was just an ordinary invitation, and it was made into a formal marriage by the aunts and aunts (phase room, which is no different from engagement locally).

Wang Yong didn't go to the market much, he always went straight to the destination, and then went straight to the next target after buying. Soon, I bought pork, chicken, duck and fish. Because there were too many things, I hired another van. It was already past eleven o'clock when he returned home, and the elders didn't even let Wang Yong eat a bite before driving him to the city to buy seafood.

It was almost one o'clock when he first arrived in the city, and Wang Yong, who was hungry and cooing, first found a small shop to eat a bowl of noodles, and then came to the Xianqiao Seafood Wholesale Market.

This wholesale market, which was built in the early days of reform and opening up, focuses on seafood. In the past, it was mainly a fixed buying and selling point for local fishermen, but it is gradually becoming bigger and more formal. Nowadays, you can say that you can buy a wide variety of seafood from almost all parts of Shijie. There are not only local pike fish, pike crabs, small yellow croaker hairtail fish, prawns, skin shrimp, shellfish, but also sea cucumbers, abalone, all kinds of fish that have never been seen before, and even many things Wang Yong has never heard of. But these things have nothing to do with Wang Yong, as long as you buy them according to the aunt's list of haode.

It is worthy of being the largest seafood wholesale market in the city, Wang Yong has not been around for half an hour, but he has bought everything after walking a few shops. These include ice shrimp, cuttlefish, hairtail, and jellyfish heads. Just as Wang Yong was about to go home, a stall attracted Wang Yong's attention.

In fact, it was dozens of small glass jars placed outside the store by the owner of the store to attract customers, and what really attracted Wang Yong was the contents of the glass jar. There were schools of small fish and shrimp, as well as all kinds of shellfish. There is also a sign standing next to the glass tank, which reads: wholesale and retail of all kinds of fish, shellfish seedlings.

Seeing this signboard, Wang Yong suddenly thought of his little shijie, didn't he want to get something into the sea for a long time? Originally, I wanted to take time to go to the southern areas with developed seafood farming to get some seedlings, but I didn't expect to meet them at my doorstep. Since he ran into it, of course Wang Yong didn't want to miss it, so he immediately turned around and walked over.

The shop was seen by a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a rubber jumpsuit and a pair of rubber gloves on his hands. The middle-aged man saw Wang Yong coming over and took the initiative to greet him: "This boss, what do you want to buy?" I have a complete range of seedlings here, and it is guaranteed to be the lowest price in the city. ”

Wang Yong did not reply, but came to the glass jar to observe carefully. He really couldn't understand what these little seedlings were. So he turned back to the boss and asked, "What kind of seedlings are you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the boss knew that this Eight Achievements was purely curious and fresh. After all, if the people who come to buy seedlings don't even know the seedlings, then what kind of energy do they have! But now there is not a single customer in the store, so the owner of the store is looking for someone to chat with him to relieve his boredom and introduce these seedlings to Wang Yong.

This introduction really opened Wang Yong's eyes. In his own eyes, there is almost no difference, and he even asked the boss to cite three or four differences casually. This chat lasted for more than half an hour, and Wang Yong listened to it with relish. The boss probably also thinks that he can rarely show off his profound knowledge, and it is rare to meet a person who listens to his nagging, talking about the sky and spitting.

What he didn't expect was that Wang Yong would let himself get a few of each. Now it's the boss's turn to be dumbfounded, what is this going to do! You can't just raise a few of them, and besides, you have almost 30 kinds of seedlings here? Generally, raising two or three kinds is a lot, most farmers are only raising one, easy to manage, this is good, all to a little. In the boss's puzzled eyes, Wang Yong had to lie and explain:

"I have a kindergarten at home, I want to buy some of these seedlings and go back, so that the children can raise and play, and by the way, I can learn more about several kinds of marine creatures and increase my knowledge?"

Then the boss suddenly realized: "What did I say? I've never met a guest like you. How can there be only a few pieces of everything. It turned out to be an eye-opener for children! ”

"yes, that's what happened. How much do you think it costs? Wang Yong asked.

"If you don't have any money, I'll just pack a few pieces of each for you, and give them to you to play!" The boss said very boldly.

"That's not going to work, after all, you make a living from it. You say, how much? Don't worry, I can reimburse you this time, and you don't have to save me money. Wang Yong said with a smile. This cool boss is very angry with himself, but he still has it before buying these seedlings. Although there are dozens of things, he doesn't want much, and this money is not in Wang Yong's eyes at all now.

Zuihou said that the boss left a hundred yuan. If it really counts, it must be more than this, not to mention anything else, the three kinds of abalone fry, five each, are estimated to be more than 100 yuan. What's more, there are some quite valuable such as sea cucumber seedlings, grouper fry, of course, the boss also said, these things are a strange thing, if you really want to play large-scale farming, it is definitely not possible in this generation in Hong Kong City. The adaptation environment of each seedling is different, and the reason why the boss got it is just to attract customers and show his strength.

After Wang Yong left, the middle-aged boss put away his smile and took out his mobile phone to dial out. After receiving the notification, a man's voice came from inside and said:

"I said, second uncle, why do you have time to call me? It's not going to be asking me to get you some weird seedlings, is it? You can spare me, last time in order to find Australian abalone seedlings for you, but it took a lot of work. “

Without waiting for the person on the other end of the phone to continue to say anything, the middle-aged boss interrupted: "I said, do you know who I met just now?" ”

"You didn't ask me to buy seedlings! That's good, that's good. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let you help the second uncle do something. Let's get down to business, I met Yuanyuan's object today. The middle-aged boss said.

"Who? Who do you say you've run into? The man on the other end of the phone asked in surprise.

"Yuanyuan's object! I haven't met a real person, but I know your car. Didn't you say that the two of them met because he went to you to buy a car? ”

"Yes! But what is he doing with you? ”

The middle-aged boss said unhurriedly: "He came to buy fish and shrimp, and when he saw that I had a lot of seafood seedlings here, he came over and bought a little bit of everything, saying that it was to give the children in the village school a long experience." Originally, I didn't plan to ask for money, but this dead-eyed kid had to give it, and I kept him a hundred yuan. ”

"Hehe, you are really, since you have recognized him, let me say it. Why are you still hiding it, it's not unsightly. ”

"Hehe, don't you think that when Yuanyuan introduces me to him as an uncle, it will definitely surprise that kid?" The middle-aged boss said with a strange smile.

"You're so bored! Okay, I won't talk to you, remember to find something to come over for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, hang up first. ”

Wang Yong, who had already left, didn't know that the future unscrupulous second uncle was waiting to see his jokes. After carrying the various seedlings in more than a dozen bags into the car, close the door. Wang Yong directly collected these seedlings into Xiao Shijie and put them into Xiao Shijie's ocean.

There is another chapter later, again a reminder of the Xiexie book friend roy1981. Thank you for your understanding!
