They were chatting in whispers at the door. Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry to leave, and the others were not in a hurry to get off work. They all wanted to wait for the woman inside to answer the phone and see if there was any other news.

After Ah Sheng's wife answered the phone and came out, she dragged Ye Yaodong to ask questions. The most common question was about Ye Yaosheng's IOU.

"I don't know what was said on the phone. I saw that you were very busy yesterday and I didn't have the nerve to come to the door. I happened to meet you here. Tell your sister-in-law what's going on with the IOU? After I found out the day before yesterday, I was really eating at home.

Unable to sleep, Ah Sheng worked hard to earn money, but ended up spending it all on others..."

She rambled on for a while, and Ye Yaodong waited for her to finish talking and vent her words before he politely told her the ins and outs of Ye Yaosheng's IOU.

"... After I bought the boat, I didn't have enough money to pay my salary, so I didn't lend Ah Sheng a loan. I asked Ah Sheng to borrow it from Ah Guang. However, Ah Sheng wrote a few IOUs in advance for Ah Guo and the others to sign and fingerprint.

I’m not worried about whether I’ll get the money back. They’re all making money there now, and they should have money to pay back when they come back, so just relax.”

"Alas... everyone is back, but they are still working hard outside. They don't know when they will come back. When I asked, they said they would see in a few days."

"It shouldn't take long. Sister-in-law, just wait patiently at home."

Ye Yaosheng's wife looked at him and hesitated to speak, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Are you still going?"

This question has been asked by many people in the past two days, and Ye Yaodong told the truth.

"I'm not sure, but I think I'll make another trip, but it won't happen in the next few days. I'll have to wait and see what happens."

She nodded.

Seeing that nothing happened, Ye Yaodong understood what he needed to know, so he took the first step and went home to eat.

While eating, he also mentioned to his father the phone call that Ye Yaosheng had just made, and the father and son discussed it carefully.

Lin Xiuqing also told him that when he went to the village committee in the morning, someone came to buy small wooden boats. There were not enough to sell, so there were only three left, but four people came. She asked them to discuss among themselves.

The man will come to visit again in the afternoon. Then we will see who wants it and ask him to take him to the dock to trade the boat.

Ye Yaodong nodded and didn't say anything. He didn't care much about who sold the boats to whom. Anyway, whoever came to sell to whom first came to sell them. It would be better to clear out the boats as soon as possible. There is no use keeping them now anyway.

I also heard that their family bought several more boats, but they didn't come back. There were also people who came to the house wanting to rent a boat, but Lin Xiuqing didn't respond. She just said she would wait until the boat came back.

She always followed Ye Yaodong's instructions in advance.

It has only been two days since I came back, and the boat has basically been cleared.

The flat bamboo baskets, quilts and other sundries that were hung to dry in the workshop the night before were also dried and put away in the evening. The father and son also did the same bits and pieces of chores in the past two days.

Early in the morning on the third day, Ye Yaodong got on his motorcycle and headed to the city without stopping.

There is basically no stock of dried fish at home, and it has not been dried for the whole month. The rest of the family has long been taken to the market and stored in idle shops, so he did not drive a tractor to bring a load of goods, but rode a bicycle.

Get on a more convenient motorcycle.

However, there were several kilograms of jellyfish blood, a bucket of jellyfish heads and a bucket of jellyfish skin in the truck bed. These were the specialties he planned to bring to Director Chen.

It was faster to ride a motorcycle. He set off at dawn and it was only 8 o'clock when he arrived.

He went to the store first, but he only glanced at the roadside before heading to the village. He only took a look at the vacant land he bought and the land bought by Lin Xianghui, walked around and returned to the store.

Inside, Father Lin and Mother Lin were holding a large scale to weigh a sack of goods. They were surprised when they saw him coming, but they didn't bother to talk anymore. He rolled up his sleeves and worked on things in the store first.

I took advantage of my free time to ask a few questions and answered their questions.

The business in the store was pretty good early in the morning.

"Since our store has hung up its signboard, more and more people have been looking for it, and business has gotten better month by month. Many shops nearby have also imitated us and hung up their signboards." Lin's father said happily with a smile on his face.

"There aren't any gangsters coming to cause trouble, right?"

"That's not true. After all, the market is maintained by someone, and we pay the management fee on time every year. At most, some people come to the door because of problems with the goods, and I tell them carefully. If they need to be replaced, they will be delivered."

Ye Yaodong nodded and asked him to make the final arrangements. Then he changed the subject, "Did brother's household registration move? I just came over and saw that his land has been leveled."

"It's been moved. Half a month ago, he took some time off to go home and moved his family's household registration here and settled in the village. He said he would take a look at the date and start construction in October."

"Then I'll go and settle down later, and by the way, I'll ask someone to clear out the land in the next two months. Then I'll have to trouble dad and brother to keep an eye on it."

"Okay, we're close. We're right next to it. It's easy to see. It's just how you plan to build it."

He also told Lin's father about the plan he told Ah Qing, but Lin's father only lamented that the purchase was too big.

But who made him earn so much money in the past two years, so spending 10,000 yuan to buy a piece of land was nothing. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just said that he would take care of it and tell the couple what they needed to do.

Ye Yaodong stayed in the shop for a while, telling Father Lin not to settle the accounts in a hurry, he had to go do some errands first.

Then I unloaded the things from the tricycle bucket and stored them in the shop. Then I took two soup pots from my brother-in-law and filled them with some jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins, and also caught a lot of jellyfish blood.

Then he packed a separate portion and put it in the sidecar. He slowly rode to the village to find the village chief. This separate portion was given to the village chief. It was not strange for many people to give it to him, so he asked him to help him with it.

Ah Qing and her children settled down first.

After finishing the settlement, he went back to the store, put the remaining things in the shoulder bag, and then went straight to Director Chen's house.

The bucket was full when I arrived. Even after I scooped out two big bowls, I saw that they were still 60% full, so it was still worth it. The most expensive one was jellyfish blood anyway.

It was almost noon when we arrived, and Director Chen happened to be home from get off work, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw him.

"Didn't you say you were going to Zhejiang Province to fish for jellyfish? You had to go there for two months. Why did you come back so soon? It's only been a month now, right?"

"Haha, if something happens, come back early."

He went into the room, put down his things, and told Director Chen what happened. Director Chen felt dangerous after hearing this.

"It's like this when you go to other people's territory. Most places are quite exclusive. To the locals, you are just an intruder. If your emotions are stirred up a little, conflicts are inevitable. Fortunately, you came back early, so it counts.

wise."

Ye Yaodong nodded, followed the words and said a few words, and also told what happened when he came back.

"You're doing the right thing. You can't take this kind of thing lightly. It's your good luck to meet a noble person. Other people's affairs have to be left to the local public security bureau. Those people also seek medical treatment indiscriminately due to acute illness. Just listen to the wind.

rain."

"I just want to hear the news now."

"That's right, but if the local jellyfish association or fishing association is established, and they can give you a position, you can take it. It will always be of some benefit. After all, you are also the leader of a group of people. If you go there next year, you will have a lot of money.

You can also get first-hand information based on your position, which is more convenient, and you can also build some connections."

"Okay, let's wait until we get there."

Ye Yaodong changed the topic and talked a little more relaxedly. By the way, he also explained how to cook the jellyfish skin, jellyfish head and jellyfish blood.

Transportation is inconvenient these days. In addition to small household appliances and some popular items, other specialties and other specialties are relatively slow in circulation. They have to be purchased locally. This is why the business of taiye is born, so he also has to talk about cooking methods, especially

Most people don’t know how to eat jellyfish blood.

By the way, he also boasted about how nourishing the jellyfish blood is. It is a good ingredient for replenishing qi and blood. Local postpartum women have to eat this in addition to fish maw. It is very popular among the locals.

It was already past 1 o'clock after he came out of Director Chen's house. He stopped by for lunch and chatted for a while, and then came out with Director Chen when it was time for him to go to work.

After watching the people ride away on bicycles, he walked towards the motorcycle in the bright sun, "It's so hot, damn, it's like a stove. It's almost cooked as soon as it comes out."

"Selling popsicles~ Selling popsicles~"

"Buying popsicles..."

Hearing the sound of someone selling popsicles, he also yelled at the cyclist over there. Upon hearing this, the vendor immediately pedaled his bicycle over.

Watching him get off the motorcycle, the vendor's eyes shone brightly and he asked flatteringly: "What kind of popsicles does the boss want? There are red beans, mung beans, sugar water, milk, watermelon..."

Ye Yaodong stretched his head and took a look. He originally wanted to grab one randomly, but when he saw it, there was actually a bagged one.

"What is this?"

"This is ice water, it tastes like peach, orange, pear..."

The colors in each bag were different, corresponding to the color of the flavor. He picked up a bag and looked at it. The ingredients were water, saccharin and fruit powder.

"This bag is only 10 cents for the small one and 20 cents for the big one. It was just released from the factory. It was not available before..."

"Is the manufacturer's address above correct?"

"Ah?" The hawker looked confused. Do you have to check the factory to buy ice water?

"Boss...what do you want...to do?"

"I'll get a bag of this. Is the address where you get the goods the manufacturer's address on it? Is it in the city?"

"Ah, yes..."

Ye Yaodong gave him two cents, then went to the shade and squatted down to read and study, ignoring the confused look on the vendor's face.

The address of the manufacturer above was in a village in a town in the city, and he didn't know where it was. He looked up at the hawker who was about to leave, and called him back.

He was particularly patient with rich people and ordinary people. When the vendor heard his call, he immediately smiled and pushed his bicycle over.

"What else do you want, boss?"

Ye Yaodong pointed to the address of the manufacturer above and asked, "Is this address close to here?"

"Ah? Do you want to sell popsicles too?"

"Do you think I look like a popsicle seller?"

"No, you look like a big boss. If you can ride a motorcycle, you must be a big boss."

On a hot summer day, with the scorching sun at noon, when he went out, it was not easy for him to cover his head with only his eyes exposed, as he did at sea. Recently, he only wore a straw hat.
