"Brother Dong, it's ready! Just like yesterday, I opened a pack and spread it evenly on top." The speaker was a young man in his 20s who was also from this village, named Chen Zhihua.

Half of the 10 people Ye Yaodong recruited last year were young, and half were taken to the city. Only five people were left to move around in the workshop, and the people who were originally on duty took turns filling fish sauce.

.

"It's tied up. Don't let any kelp fall off. If it does, I'll pick it up and whip you."

"Haha, not a single strand will fall off. If it does, we'll take off our pants and whip them for you."

"Go away, it's disgusting, you're a pervert, what do you watch every day?"

"Brother Dong, you didn't look, how do you know what we were looking at? Hahaha..."

"Shut up, I'll slap your sister-in-law's ears to death."

Lin Xiuqing was a little confused.

What do you mean?

She understood every word, but she didn't understand it.

She looked at Ye Yaodong, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing. I'm leaving. I won't be back tonight. Tomorrow morning you can arrange to take a boat to the city dock. It should be around 9 o'clock, right? I'll drive the tractor and wait there around 9 o'clock."

"Okay, I'll let them set off at dawn tomorrow morning."

"good."

Ye Yaodong glared at those rough guys. It was not even May yet, and it was still early morning. They had already taken off their coats one by one while moving the bags of goods, and were working there wearing only their vests.

At this time, he threw his coat directly over his shoulders and stood aside, waiting for him to drive out so that they could continue working.

"Ah Hua followed me to the city. Chen Shi stayed behind to replace Ah Hua and brought a loudspeaker. When we got to the city, Ah Hua took the horn and shouted while driving."

"Great, it's finally my turn to go to the city with you. The furthest thing I've ever been to in my life is the town."

He happily put on his clothes and the other two looked at him enviously.

"From now on, everyone should speak less naughty words. There are women next door. Can you talk to others? Don't be laughed to death. Those who don't have a wife should pay more attention. The three aunts and six women are watching. The bad side is here.

People will see that without your good reputation, I can't get a wife."

"I know Brother Dong, we will definitely not joke around or talk nonsense in the future. We will behave well in front of the old women next door and try to get them to introduce us to a good wife."

"Yes, you have to be more considerate and attentive in front of those old aunties."

Lin Xiuqing even laughed, "Don't show off in front of the girl, but be courteous in front of the old aunt."

"There must be a girl then. Sister-in-law, please introduce me to her."

"Then you should go to the old aunt to show your courtesy. Where can I introduce you? They know a lot."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Don't be poor, hurry up and do what you need to do, and leave."

After he started the tractor with the crank handle, he continued to rush to the city.

Today is a little later than yesterday. Because Chen Zhihua was shouting in the city, more people were attracted along the way, and they all surrounded us.

They were obviously told to go to the wholesale market to buy, but these people seemed to be a little deaf. They only listened to what they wanted to hear, ignored everything else, and now they were crowding around to buy.

Originally there were a lot of people going to the market early in the morning on the street, and it was almost packed with people.

Worried that the crowd would just climb onto the tractor to pull the kelp, Chen Zhihua jumped out of the car and walked to the back to drive away the crowd.

I just couldn't drive them away, everyone wanted to buy them, and they said they saw them yesterday and they still didn't sell them.

Ye Yaodong had no choice but to stop selling for a while. He took the speaker on the seat and shouted.

"25 cents per pound, 20 cents for more than 20 pounds, no bargaining, no bargaining, one pound can be soaked for five or six pounds, sold at a cheap price..."

"It's 20 pounds, how can I buy it? Can I buy it and take it home to eat?"

"That's right, 2.5 cents per pound is not cost-effective. 20 jins is 2 cents. Why don't you just sell it per jin?"

Ye Yaodong continued to shout with the loudspeaker, "Auntie, it's not cost-effective to sell me a pound. Am I in trouble? It's so cheap, why should I sell it pound by pound until the end of the Year of the Monkey?"

"Wouldn't it be better if you just invite a few people you know or are nearby to buy together and put together an order?"

"Anyway, I won't sell them by the pound. You can go pick them up at the beach. It's free of charge, so you don't have to come here to bargain."

"20 pounds and 2 cents, no bargaining, no bargaining, just stay for a while and then leave..."

If it weren't for the sight of these aunties surrounding him, it would be difficult for him to walk, and he wouldn't want to stop and talk nonsense.

When you go to the market, there are basically vendors who wholesale all kinds of fish and dry goods. It is easy to sell more than 20 kilograms.

Those who wholesaled yesterday may have been sold out in the streets, so I will continue to come here and wholesale more today.

He had already wasted time to stop, and these aunts still wanted to bargain over the price.

He just yelled a few words, and immediately someone came in with banknotes and asked for 20 pounds.

If there is one, there will be two. Others immediately took out their money and pushed forward, trying to buy and leave quickly. The scene almost turned into a robbery.

Fortunately, Ye Yaodong stood in front of the tractor truck with a long steel scale. When the wooden steel scale was horizontal, he pushed the crowd of people pushing forward collectively.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, come one by one."

Fortunately, he also brought two steel scales. He moved the scales forward to block the crowd. Chen Zhihua also quickly grabbed a handful and tied it with straw to weigh the scales.

As long as 20 kilograms were weighed and shouted, a large number of people handed over the money. Ye Yaodong took one person's money and handed the goods to the other person's hand, and then there was no confusion.

However, a large group of people gathered there, and the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, almost making the two of them faint.

Later, we met Lin Jishang, who passed by with two people. When he saw it, he squeezed in to help, so that they could keep busy and the goods were not lost and no one was fishing in troubled waters.

He didn't know how long he had been busy, his stomach was full of hunger, the sun was setting, and there were fewer people around him.

Most of the goods in the car were gone, and the cloth bag on his chest was filled with various kinds of bills and coins.

Sweat dripped down like water, almost causing them to collapse.

Although there are fewer people around, there are still people waiting to buy.

Often the first group of people leave before they buy anything, and then a few more people arrive one after another. Even if they want to drive away, they can't, so they can only continue to work.

Until the sun was about to set, there were fewer people in the downtown area, and the kelp on the car was unpacked one after another, and only about 1/3 was left.

Originally, the truck that was pulled over today was only over three tons, weighing over 7,000 kilograms.

Now Ye Yaodong estimates that he only has more than 2,000 kilograms left.

The minimum selling price is 20 kilograms, and the purchasing power of the masses is also amazing. It is true that there is a large flow of people in the downtown area. If the city people have money, they are afraid of not having anything.

Generally, if you bring a whole cart of things to sell, everyone will think it is very cheap, and they will want to go to where there are more people.

Ye Yaodong was so tired that he leaned against the car, "Oh my god, these women are so scary. Just buy groceries and even praise me."

"Hahaha, it's not just because you look handsome. I think some people don't necessarily want to buy it, but because you look handsome, they come over to take a look and buy some by the way." Chen Zhihua said with great approval.

"That makes sense."

Lin Jishang also laughed, "Aren't you too shameless?"

"Why don't you let others tell you the truth? And it's not just me praising myself."

Chen Zhihua answered, "Yes, I am telling the truth. Brother Dong is a well-known handsome guy from all over our country. If he says he is from the city, everyone will believe him."

"I'm exhausted. Hurry up and tighten the bag so that no one can see it. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave later."

"The sun has gone down, everyone has gone home to cook, and there are no people on the street."

Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Jishang again, "Why are you still here?"

"Burning bridges? I just finished helping you with your work and you want to drive me away?"

"No, I mean, why are you still in the city? I thought you had left and went to make money elsewhere."

There were still outsiders around, so he just spoke in a more cryptic way, but everyone would understand him anyway.

When he saw people squeezing in, he wanted to ask, but he couldn't spare the time, so he didn't have time to speak until he was finished.

"We have this plan, probably in the near future. Things haven't been finished yet, so we'll have to wait and see."

Ye Yaodong didn't understand and wanted to ask more deeply, but this was not the place to talk.

"Follow me to the market? Then go to my factory to sit down and have a chat?"

"That's okay. Please treat me to dinner first?"

"Sure, let's go. We all get in the car together and we can talk after we go to my place. It's not easy to talk outside."

"good."

"It's all kelp, and it's a little difficult to get your feet on. You can just sit on it and you'll be there in a while."

Ye Yaodong waited for them to sit down before driving the tractor to the market.

Yesterday at the door, he promised everyone the same time, but now it's already passed, and the plan couldn't keep up with the change. He agreed on noon, but now it's almost evening, so he broke his promise.

So when he arrived at the market, the market doors were closed, and the roads were deserted. If he wanted to see people coming and going, he had to wait until the night market opened in the evening.

"Brother Dong, we are late, there is no one..."
