He slept until noon, and was woken up by the dazzling sunlight outside the window. He had slept enough.

When I got up, I saw no one in the main room. When I went out to the door, I saw a few people sitting under a big tree playing cards and enjoying the cool air.

We had just paid our wages, but it had been raining for the past two days. No one could bear it. Either no one was seen at night, or people gathered to play cards during the day.

He had seen several accidents at the pier in the past few days, and now he would rather they just play cards at home, playing with a small amount of money. At least it is safe, and they can't lose anything, and they go in and out of those pockets.

"Hey, is Captain Xu here?"

"No, we were at the door the whole time and didn't see it."

"Okay, then you can play."

There was still a little food warm in the pot on the earthen stove, so he probably hadn't eaten it yet, so he made do with a few bites.

I don’t know when Captain Xu will come to my door. I told you yesterday that he will definitely come today, and it’s hard for him to go out.

Otherwise, he still wants to see how the radar network is doing. It has been five days, so he needs to hurry up.

He planned to wait for his father to come back and go to sea in his place, so he could take the fishing net out and try it out.

It was not easy to go out at this time, so he just strolled around and watched some old men playing chess under the big trees, old ladies listening to the radio, or playing cards and mahjong.

These are all old and worn out, and those who can move a little are not so free.

Ye Yaodong doubted whether they could see clearly what the cards in their hands looked like. They were all looking at the mahjong cards under their noses one by one. He saw that someone was missing a card and no one noticed.

"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, Captain Xu is here...at home..."

Ye Yaodong hurried back after hearing this.

"Where did it come from? Why didn't you see it? I was right at the entrance of the alley."

"Perhaps you were fascinated by watching others playing chess, and they didn't see you either."

"Just arrived?"

"Yes, there was someone following him. I don't know who he was. He bought a lot of things." He asked as he walked.

Walking out of the alley, he also saw that the place where cards were played under the big tree had been replaced, and the cards were scattered on the table.

He looked at the young man sitting at the small table in surprise, "Common boss?"

"Haha, what a coincidence. At noon, I heard from Captain Xu that the person who picked up the car keys was named Ye Yaodong, and he was from Fujian Province. I was wondering if it could be you. I came over to take a look."

Captain Xu also smiled and said: "I didn't expect you guys to know each other. You are so far apart, how could you know each other?"

Ye Yaodong took out the key from his pocket, walked in and handed it to him: "It's all fate. I didn't expect that you dropped the key to this car. It was you who bought the killer whale yesterday? That's amazing..."

"No, no, no, it's not me. How could I have such ability? It was my uncle who bought the fish, and it was also the car key that my uncle dropped. But I happened to hear it in the factory at noon, so I took over the job of getting the keys and left.

Come and have a look."

"Oh, I heard Captain Xu say yesterday that the boss who buys whales is an overseas Chinese, which is awesome."

"Haha, I came back because of the good policies in the past two years."

Captain Xu took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to him, "Thank you very much. My pocket was empty yesterday, so I couldn't show it. I had to wait until today to come to the door."

"No, no, no..."

"I want what I want... I still need to thank you..."

"You're too polite..."

"It should, it should..."

Ye Yaodong politely declined, and Captain Xu pushed over with a smile on his face.

The two of them went back and forth for a long time before Ye Yaodong happily accepted the red envelope and put it in his pocket.

"Then I'm not polite. If I encounter this problem at sea, I would just help if I can. It's okay..."

"Then I still have to thank you. If I hadn't met you, our ship wouldn't have known where it would have drifted. Who knows if we would have been in danger..."

Captain Xu spoke in broken Mandarin that made people half-guessed.

Ye Yaodong also listened happily, even if he didn't understand, he pretended that he did.

"...It was still raining heavily at that time, and I didn't know if we would encounter other fishing boats. I didn't know if other fishing boats would be able to see us in the heavy rain. It was hard to say whether they would stop. Not to mention whether they would be able to catch us.

The cargo on the ship was sold, and the killer whale was sold for a big price."

The layman took over and said, "Everyone is happy. I came here with a little thought. Thank you for your help in picking up the car keys."

Ye Yaodong glanced at the table full of canned tobacco, alcohol, biscuits and food.

Ah, there are two boxes of instant noodles???

Captain Xu also picked up some things on the table and handed them to him, "These are mine, and those are gifts from Boss Zhang."

After being surprised, he took it with a smile on his face, "That's too polite, there are so many..."

"It should be..."

"Would you like to sit inside? The rental house is too shabby, otherwise I would have to make a pot of tea and entertain you..."

"It's okay. We came to thank you. It doesn't matter where you sit. It's a little cooler outside."

"That's true. It's stuffy in the house on a hot day, but it's cooler outside..."

Ye Yaodong invited them to sit down and chat together, and also asked people to buy a few bottles of soda and use them as tea.

Otherwise, you really can’t make tea here, and the boiled water seems insincere.

After sitting and chatting for a while, he realized that the name of the layman was Zhang Rensu, and he deliberately read it backwards when he went out...

"You're quite interesting. You even have a name for traveling around the world..."

"Haha, no, in fact, lay people are just nicknames. Friends like to call each other nicknames. I'm used to it, and I'm used to it. We're all just lay people in the first place."

"I didn't expect to meet him again here, so I'll have to rely on you, a local snake, to take more care of him."

"There are local snakes everywhere, I'm just a native. If you really encounter anything, you can go to my house to find me, but I may not be able to help. But there are inconveniences when you go out. We are all friends and we help each other.

Well, I'll help if I can. Whenever I go to your place, I have to count on you to take care of me."

"That's for sure..."

"Then do you still have kelp?"

"Ah, then I have to ask. I'm not sure if there are any. If there are, there probably won't be many. This one is so popular. There will be more next year. I can leave some more for you next year. Isn't there any local breeding here?

?”

"No, there are abundant fishery resources here. The fishing boats have gone out to sea to fish. How can anyone breed them? Wouldn't it be faster to just fish? How long can we raise them before we can sell them?"

"That's true, there should be some in the future..."

They chatted for a while and then left.

Ye Yaodong also reached a verbal agreement with the lay people to sell kelp next year.

The sales situation of kelp next year was suddenly solved, but he still felt a little confused.

The family doesn’t even know how much harvest they will get next year, but we have already promised to send out dozens of tons.

But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, we will look at it next year. No one can predict the variables. It depends on the weather, and no one can predict natural disasters or man-made disasters.

But now at least it saves him a lot of worries, and he doesn't have to worry about the quantity being too large next year.

After they left, he still felt a little dizzy. The boss he had just met two months ago did not expect him to be a local here.

Moreover, a relative also runs a fish processing factory, and his family has a background in business. No wonder he is also running around doing business, and he must be reselling the goods from his relative's processing factory. He has a strong family background.

Just now, he not only solved the sales situation of kelp, but also solved the sales of some fish products.

If there are fish products needed by the processing factory, they can keep them after docking and then send them directly to the factory, saving them a half-day of selling at a stall outside.

This actually saves the fishing boats a lot of trouble.

"Brother Dong, will our family be able to make a lot of money from kelp next year? I have to call back to inform my dad, and I have to follow him to learn how to raise it."

"Yes, it's just a good time to follow this year and learn more so that the village can grow more varieties, and next year we can get more points based on work points."

"Don't mix it up blindly. How to raise it? There will be regulations in the village. Who can say for sure about natural disasters and man-made disasters? What if there are some natural disasters or something? Just because someone buys it, it doesn't mean that you will definitely make money. You will also

There has to be something there, don’t mix it up blindly.”

Everyone is right to think about it.

It’s not like someone can make money just by buying it, it has to be able to be grown and there has to be a price.

"Then it will be easier for us to sell fish every day."

"Brother Dong, there are even instant noodles. It's such a big box. The boss is so generous..."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh, "It's really a generous gift. There are two big boxes of instant noodles. Let's have this for dinner."

"Ah! Is this what you want to eat tonight?"

"Damn, I'm so lucky..."

"This is so delicious, I've only eaten it once..."
