Chapter 652: Asking for Help
The old lady smiled and showed her toothless gums, and after handing the child to Ah Qing, she stood by the bed and watched Ye Yaodong count the money.
"You haven't eaten lunch yet, I thought you were talking about something, so I didn't dare to come and knock on the door to disturb you, I'll go cook something for you to eat first."
"I'm not hungry", Ye Yaodong took a gap and replied,
"Count first." Lin Xiuqing sat on the stool next to her with the child in her arms to nurse the child, but her attention was always on them, and she was a little embarrassed when she heard the old lady's words.
"Then I'll help you count a piece, faster." The old lady also sat on the edge of the bed and helped arrange the banknotes.
"Didn't my dad count it to tell you?" Ye Yaodong nodded and shook his head. He silently counted, where was the time to answer her question?
It's a little late to think about it now, right?
"Nodding and shaking his head, what do you mean?"
"Don't make noise! Just now he told me not to count, but now I sit there and start rambling before I count. Lin Xiuqing was speechless.
The old lady smiled and took the money in her hand and patted him,
"Answer, how long will it take you? And I didn't keep asking you? Ye Yaodong just counted to the whole number, so he stopped compassionately,
"Our dad only knows the approximate total, he remembers how much he receives every day, but he doesn't add it every day, he feels that it is troublesome to add, and it is easy to remember, so he only remembers the receipt." After Lin Xiuqing got the answer, she didn't bother him anymore.
After Ye Yaodong counted 100 sheets, he took one out and clamped it up, so as not to mess it up, and then piled it up in a small pile, a small pile.
When Ah Qing finished feeding, he and the old lady were almost as good as they were, and there were only coins left. There are not many large banknotes, almost all of them are gross bills, and I really experienced a handful, what is called counting money to hand cramps.
"I'll take these changes out tomorrow to settle, and the bunch of savings is almost out of place, so I'll have to put a box next time." The old lady also nodded thoughtfully,
"You have to make a box and lock it up."
"Then when the thief visits, just take the box away......"
"What's that?" The old lady said with a smile.
"Joke, if you buy a box and come back, you have to nail it in the closet, nailed to death."
"Shhhhh
"That's for sure, it's right for you." Ye Yaodong continued to count the piles of banknotes on the bed, and after having a count in his heart, he handed over the coins to Ah Qing to count, and he had to go out for a while.
Just come back and ask for the numbers. The old lady was still shouting behind her,
"Shall you go out after eating?"
"You cook first, I'll come when I go." Lin Xiuqing added for him,
"He went to Uncle Pei's friend's house and promised to accept people's dried dragon head fish, but we have no place to put it at home, so we can make room tomorrow, he went over and told others."
"Oh, that's to talk to people and make people feel at ease." Ye Yaodong rode his bicycle to speed back, and it didn't take long, but when he came back, he happened to run into his sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
It turned out that the wind was blowing, so I came back early, the eldest brother and the second brother were still selling goods at the dock, and the two sisters-in-law pushed a cart of goods back first.
"Today's receipt doesn't look bad." Sister-in-law Ye smiled,
"Fortunately, by the way, I dug up a little kelp, it's not very long, it is estimated that it will take another two months to grow very big, and I will let Aqing take two back to fry it." Second sister-in-law Ye couldn't wait to take down a bucket on the board car and ran to him.
"Ah Dong, look at this small bucket we dug today, is this the sea pheasant feet you sold in the town a few days ago?"
"Oh?"
"I think its feet are very long, longer than the usual Buddha's hand." She looked at Ye Yaodong expectantly.
Sister-in-law Ye also hurriedly stopped the cart and walked over, she still thought about waiting until she got home and asked. Ye Yaodong hurriedly stopped the bicycle, stood up with his feet, and reached out to grab a few random ones into the bucket.
Ay? It's really true!
"You're in luck."
"Really?" The two sisters-in-law were immediately happy, this one has a little longer legs, but it is expensive. They have been going to the sea for the past few days, and the harvest is good~ Either they caught some stranded fish, or they dug up razor clams, and the blue crabs can occasionally pick up one or two.
Not to mention those shells that are dug up and dried, picking them up on the island can be better than sitting at home and weaving a net for a day.
Although the element of luck accounts for the majority, it is obvious that they have been lucky for the past two days, and today they all encountered unexpected surprises, and they touched some of the sea pheasant feet that Adong said in the cracks of the stones.
Ye Yaodong nodded affirmatively,
"Well, when I went to sell it the day before yesterday, I sold it for 200 yuan for a dozen catties, and you should have five or six catties here, and you should be able to sell dozens of catties, right?" The two of them were even happier.
"Then Adong, can you please help us sell it while it is fresh in the afternoon?"
"Huh? Me? I've just come back, I may not be free, you can go by yourself. "He has several rooms of goods piled up at home, and he is still waiting for him to say, how can he have time to help them deliver them to the town to sell."
The two glanced at each other, both sneering, and the second sister-in-law Ye said bluntly: "We haven't been there either, so I'm worried, where do we dare to send it to someone's hotel?" It's the same with your eldest brother and second brother, what if they are blasted out? You've been there a few times, so you're sure you're familiar with ......" Sister-in-law Ye also nodded hurriedly in agreement,
"Yes, yes, you've sold it twice, you're a little more familiar...... It won't take long for you to ride a bicycle, and you can ask your two older brothers to help with the work at home, and it won't be delayed at all. Ye Yaodong frowned.
The two sisters-in-law continued: "I must not delay you too much, you are familiar with it anyway, and you can come back after a while." ”
"It's only 1 o'clock now, and it won't take long to call the dried fish, an afternoon and an evening, and the time is still long, so you should do your brother and sister-in-law a favor...... "Alas~ I have to go if I don't go."
Ye Yaodong nodded,
"Okay, when the eldest brother and second brother come back, let them come with me, and next time they dig up, they can send it over by themselves."
"Hey, okay, when your eldest brother and second brother come back, we'll talk to him."
"Well, I'll go back first."
"Okay." Ye Yaodong pushed the bicycle to go first, and he didn't ride it in a small step, which was a bumpy butt.
The old lady in the house had already fried the rice cakes, and made him a shrimp skin soup to accompany it, and covered it with a plate, so as not to cool it off in the cold weather.
Seeing that he was back, he hurriedly beckoned to him, and took off the plate that was covered on his head, and handed him the fast son.
"Hurry up and eat, so as not to get cold, I don't know when you will come back, I am afraid that the noodles will fall away, so I gave you fried rice cakes and soaked a shrimp skin soy sauce soup."
"Okay." It's crab fried rice cakes, and there are small shrimp in it, and the oysters that his two sisters-in-law opened yesterday, as well as eggs and cabbage, all of which are still steaming, watching him have a great appetite.
There is soy sauce dripping in the shrimp skin soup on the side, and there are green onions and white shrimp skin floating last week, and there is a little oil flower, which looks like a little scallion oil has been put in it, and it smells like meat oil, and it is fragrant.
The old lady loves him! He first stirred twice in the shrimp skin soup with a spoon, and after drinking two sips to warm his stomach, he picked up the fast seed and ate it in a big gulp.
"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious!" The old lady smiled kindly,
"You're hungry, what did you eat in the city in the morning?"
"Meat buns and porridge, my father-in-law cooks porridge, so I bought a few meat buns to eat together."
"It's okay to have food, I'm afraid you haven't eaten."
"How is that possible? I'm a person who wants to taste everything when I see anything, how can I let myself go hungry? ”
"Okay, good, eat quickly, scoop the soup and match. Where did this basket of Shopee come from, I brought back a basket two days ago, and I took it again today, and I will hang it up for you. The old lady took the basket of Shopee that he had just taken off his bicycle and put on the table, and planned to put it away for him and hang it on the wall.
"Don't hang!" Ye Yaodong's mouth was full, and after saying a word, he bit it again and swallowed it.
"This is what someone sent just now, I plan to take it to Uncle Zhou, I trouble him to come and go every day, although it is a fare, but it can't fall into his hands, so I want to give him this basket of shrimp." The old lady nodded,
"Yes, we don't have anything else at home except dried fish."
"Hmm." Lin Xiuqing also came out of the house after counting the money at this time,
"Do you want to wait for me to send it for you, you still have to weigh the goods."
"No, let's weigh the goods later, sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law dug up a little sea chicken feet and came back, and asked me to help her send them to the town to sell. I'll drop by later, just right. ”
"Huh? Are they so lucky? ”
"Well, that's good." At this time, everyone thought very well, but they didn't know that the unexpected would come unexpectedly.
"Then you hurry up and eat, 3,000 pounds of goods can be weighed for a while, and you have to move them around, and I will go and ask my father to move the goods to the yard first, so that you can weigh them directly when you come back."
"Yes, too." The old lady didn't know that they had sold another 3,000 catties today, and asked in surprise: "If you want to weigh 3,000 catties all of a sudden, is someone asking for it?" ”
"Yes." Ye Yaodong repeated it to the old lady again, and the old lady was happy. Hearing them say that they can make room today and collect the thousands of catties of dragon head dried fish tomorrow, she thought that Dongzi was going to send a car to the city at night to vacate the house, but she didn't expect to sell such a large sum of money, no wonder she was excited to enter the house as soon as she came back.
"Then you have to thank the people, you bought so much at once", the old lady said and worried for him,
"We don't seem to have anything to give away at home...... Except that dried fish is dried fish......"
"It's okay, the shell meat dried by the two sisters-in-law should have been dried, and they will weigh everything they did there later, and it will be good to get some tomorrow, and by the way, promote it, maybe you can expand your business."
"Hey, yes, yes, you're still thinking about it. Eat fast, eat fast, don't patronize talking......"
