Chapter 18: This is not a deliberate attempt to take advantage
Rutang slept beautifully, and got up early in the morning.
Before dawn, she picked up a small shovel with a bamboo basket on her back and went straight to the beach.
There are already two little daughters-in-law of the village here, although the land in Dali Village is not good, but the seafood is abundant, there are oysters and conch crickets in the rocky mountains, and crabs and clams in the sand.
If the villagers are hungry, they will come to catch the sea and never return empty-handed.
Seeing Rutang coming, the two little daughters-in-law greeted her, and when they heard that Chen Fu had been arrested for gambling money, they all showed sympathetic expressions to Rutang and comforted her.
Rutang wanted to laugh when he thought of the scumbag father, but he was embarrassed to show it too obviously in front of everyone, so he could only think about the picture of the scumbag father beating her and her mother on weekdays, so that he could suppress the laughter and show a painful expression.
The little daughters-in-law worked hard, and after a while, they filled a pot, which contained everything, and it didn't matter what variety it was when they went home and steamed it in the pot.
The basket brought by Rutang was too big, so it was loaded with a bottom.
"Sell me your clams and conch."
"You take this?!" The two daughters-in-law were shocked.
These things are worthless, and if you can't eat them, they are fed to chickens and ducks.
"If you want to eat it, I'll give it to you, it's not worth a few dollars."
"It's all hard-earned, where can I ask for nothing, I also sell money when I go into the city, don't worry, I can't lose." If you two are not in a hurry to go back, just stay and dig some more, conch and clams I will collect at the price of 2 cents a catty, I don't sell oysters for money to make seasoning, the shell is heavy and the meat is less, let's be cheaper, just press 3 points, but I don't know how long I can do this business, do it a day and collect a day, you two don't dislike it. ”
This price is simply sky-high, how can the two little daughters-in-law dislike it, they are simply going to be happy.
In fact, if Rutang lowers the price, the two little daughters-in-law can also agree, but she knows that the two little daughters-in-law are very difficult at home, and she can help the villagers with more profits from her own family, so why not do it, and change her reputation in the village.
The two little daughters-in-law accompanied Rutang to dig clams on the beach, bubbling on the beach, all of them had goods, and the three of them were busy until the tide was high, and the buckets and baskets were full.
The two little daughters-in-law each earned a few dollars, and they were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, helping Rutang send things home, praising Rutang all the way, and meeting a group of people getting together to gossip, and the two little daughters-in-law who were in a good mood also came over to listen.
"Someone came to the city yesterday and arrested Jingquan, saying that the street in our village solved a case, do you believe it?" It was said.
"What kind of case can Yu Yaoyang's non-professional solve the case?" Others chimed in.
If it is usual, this kind of scolding of street sliders will definitely be echoed, and everyone has to follow the scolding and vent their dissatisfaction with life on one person, which is also the norm in the village.
Even though Yu Yaoyang may not have offended them, everyone was scolding, and they didn't say a few words, as if they didn't fit in.
But today is different, the topic of scolding Yu Yaoyang has just started, and someone immediately stood up to refute it.
"Why doesn't Yaoyang do his job? Yesterday he helped the village chief catch the rapist, but I saw it with my own eyes! Whoever dares to say that he is not good, then he has a bad heart! Aunt Seven was the first to jump out.
As the object that Rutang bought with a few duck eggs, she resolutely defended Yu Yaoyang before the duck eggs arrived, and in order to highlight her credibility, Aunt Qi lied that she saw it with her own eyes.
"That's right, don't talk about others behind your back, a good girl like Tang, let her not feel uncomfortable hearing her?" The two little daughters-in-law who had just received Rutang's money also helped.
Rutang could obviously take the fruits of their rush to the sea for nothing, but she insisted on collecting it with money, and filled in the odds for them when she passed the scales.
Just rushing to this real strength, the two little daughters-in-law don't want to hear others say that Yu Yaoyang is not good, Rutang is going to marry Yu Yaoyang in the future, and when she is a man, doesn't she mean her?
Public opinion in the village is now divided into two factions, most of the people do not believe that the street slickers learn well, and a small number of people have a wait-and-see attitude under the spread of Aunt Qi and others.
But none of this is important to Rutang, she is busy at home.
The seafood she collects is sorted by category.
A pot of clams, a bunch of oysters, and a pot of conch clams.
There are also some half-sized crabs, she took them out alone, and this one was not sold, and she turned around and made fried crabs in the typhoon shelter and sent them to Brother Yaoyang.
The little seafood needs to spit out sand, add salt to the water, and then throw a pair of scissors into it to speed up the spitting speed, and while waiting, she squatted by the well to brush the mud on the oysters.
These jobs sound easy, but they are still quite tiring to do, and in the early summer morning, the water is still very cold, and the fingers are pricked.
Rutang calculated the cost, the price of small seafood is a bit high, but the overall is still profitable, the cost price of a pound is 2 cents, and it can be sold for 1 yuan after frying.
Today's conch is a little less, only more than ten catties, plus clams, there are thirty catties, and it should be able to sell for more than thirty like yesterday.
Selling half a month's salary for someone else in one day sounds good.
In practice, it's very hard.
I had to get up at three o'clock in the morning, and the little seafood was taken back and had to be cleaned up, and my fingers were wrinkled by the blisters.
Riding a bicycle, three hours round trip, to the place to fry seafood and sell seafood, at the end of the day, tired so much that I don't want to say anything, what I earn is hard money, and I can only make some strength money in the initial stage of entrepreneurship.
Rutang finished cleaning up at 9 o'clock, and the time seemed to be early, but she had been busy for more than 5 hours without interruption.
Yu Yaoyang pedaled a bicycle to pick her up.
Yu Yaoyang carried a plastic silk bag in the back seat of the car, which contained small seafood that had spit out sand.
After doing all this, Yu Yaoyang showed an upright and gentlemanly expression, this was not his deliberate advantage, only the beams remained.
Rutang didn't bother, she sat on it directly, and after waiting for a while, the car didn't move, she felt strange and looked back, Yu Yaoyang quickly restrained her beautiful smile, and coughed dryly.
"Let's go." The pure masters will not be exposed, and they have not slept for half the night with excitement in the picture of riding a bicycle and hugging Rutang.
Yesterday, there was a tractor to travel, and it only took half an hour for the two of them to get to the city.
Today, it took him an hour to ride his bike, even though he pedaled fast.
Because as soon as he lowered his head, he could see the beautiful Rutang, Yu Yaoyang was full of inexhaustible energy, this road he had walked countless times, and because of her company, it became picturesque, and even the locust flowers falling on the trees seemed to be more fragrant than before.
The two of them in the city were not in a hurry to find Uncle Wang to get the stove, and went to the department store first, Rutang wanted to buy some tea to improve the service quality of the stall.
Half a pound of a bag of high crushed, eight cents a bag, this is free to quench the thirst of customers, Rutang bought a bag of jasmine for 2 yuan, only four taels, this one is reserved for his family to drink.
After choosing to pay the money, when he turned around, Yu Yaoyang was gone.
