Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan took the initiative to give all the 300 sea cucumbers they won to "Old Saury".
Of course "Old Saury" would feel embarrassed, so at first he waved his hand and declined.
But Hong Yanwu couldn't refuse. He said that according to the rules of Beijing people, the first money earned from work has always been to honor parents and teachers. As their master, "Old Saury" fully deserves it. And that's not all.
, From now on, as long as he and Chen Liquan fish out seafood from the sea, there will always be a share of "Old Saury".
In response to this, "Lao Daoyu" was even more frightened and could not accept it. He bluntly said that everyone in "Hai Pengzi" had to earn his own living, and there had never been such a rule.
But Hong Yanwu also had his own reasons. He spoke frankly, saying that as "Old Saury" was getting older after all, the days when he could go to the sea to fish for goods by himself were becoming fewer and fewer. What's more, his family's economic conditions were not good, and he was short of money.
In front of him, even if he doesn't think about his own retirement, he still has to think about his family.
In short, what he meant was that since "Old Saury" taught them all his skills without reservation, he could not let his disciples starve to death. So if "Old Saury" did not agree, then they
This means that "Old Saury" looks down upon them and wants to drive them away.
At this point, in the face of such sincere kindness, what can "Old Saury" say? He could only temporarily accept the kindness with deep emotion. Although he also made up his mind, no matter what,
We couldn't take advantage of Hong Yanwu and the others for free, but in our hearts we couldn't help but look at these two disciples with a high regard.
However, even though Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan have been officially accepted by the "Haichangzi" of Bincheng, because they have been at the beach for a long time and have gained enough, it is time for them to take a rest.
Secondly, it takes about 30 days for sea cucumbers to be naturally dried before they can become dried. "Old Saury" now urgently needs to dry his harvest as soon as possible, and in order to make a living, he has to take away the dried sea cucumbers at home.
Ginseng, just take it to Bincheng and sell it.
So in the afternoon of that day, "Old Saury" took Hong Yanwu and the others to pack their things and return to the small fishing village of "Oyster Bay" to spend the night.
As for the subsequent arrangements, "Old Swordfish" meant that he wanted Hong Yanwu and the others to rest peacefully at his home. When he came back from selling the sea cucumbers, he would have to rest for a few more days before going to "touch the sea" because he had to recuperate his energy.
Only when you are sharp enough can you fight the big battle successfully.
However, Hong Yanwu could not sit still and wait. He wanted to know about the market situation of marine goods in the city, and also said that he needed to replenish a batch of supplies. So everyone only slept in the fishing village for one night, and the next morning
Early in the morning, we returned to Bincheng together.
This time when they entered the city again, both Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and "Xiao Baizi" felt a feeling of being reborn and returning to the world.
Because they have indeed stayed at the deserted beach for too long, and they have not seen a scene with many cars and people for a long time. Therefore, their eyes feel that they can't see enough, and they find everything they look at cute. Cars, roads, high-rise buildings, etc.
Shops have become the most interesting things, and bathhouses and restaurants are even more tempting to them.
But on the contrary, in the eyes of most city people, they think they look very scary. When they walk on the street with such dignity, almost everyone will turn around and look at them.
These people were all so surprised that their mouths were half open and their eyes were so round that there was no need to.
Because of their dark and rough skin, their clothes stained with sweat and salt, standing upside down like steel wires, and their hair reddened by sea water, they looked like savages from the previous era. Or even more so.
To put it exaggeratedly, it was almost like a zoo beast got out of its cage and ran out onto the street with its teeth and claws bared.
"Old Swordfish" is the one who knows the meaning of the eyes of passers-by best. He has been stared at by this kind of eyes for almost his whole life. Of course, he is also the most afraid of this kind of eyes, so that every time he goes into the city, he always consciously chooses those street corners.
Walking along the alley, he tried his best to avoid the looks that made him feel extremely inferior but could not get angry.
But what he really didn't expect was that Hong Yanwu and the others didn't have such awareness and inferiority complex. They always held their heads and chests high, looking around and wandering around casually. They didn't care at all what others thought of them.
That kind of free and easy, that kind of lack of scruples made him really envious. Perhaps, this is someone who comes from a big place. His demeanor is indeed extraordinary.
However, when Hong Yanwu and others finally walked to the bus station and planned to take the bus, "Old Saury" had to stop them.
Because the skin on their bodies is covered with salt flowers and exudes the fishy smell of sea water. In the experience of "Old Saury", "sea bumpers" like them often make others frown as soon as they get in the car.
Avoid them like they are plagues.
Once, he himself was even kicked out of the bus by the conductor in the middle of the journey. This was really an unbearable humiliation, so he never took the bus again from then on. Of course he didn't want Hong Yanwu and the others to experience this kind of thing.
Embarrassing treatment.
Hearing what "Old Saury" said, Hong Yanwu immediately realized that something was wrong with him. However, his sense of public morality was also limited. He could not think of others, and he had to be looked down upon and suffered for himself. What a blessing, then? What's more?
He had money in his upper pocket and was very wealthy, so he immediately made a decision to take a shower and change clothes first, and then have a good meal. After tidying up, having a good time, he took the bus to sell sea cucumbers.
This initiative was undoubtedly unanimously supported by Chen Liquan and "Xiao Baizi". They did not care about the pain of "Old Saury" and raised the fee, and together they forcibly dragged this "Old Haibangzi" away.
In fact, according to "Old Saberfish", it's okay to take a bath and eat, but buying clothes is completely unnecessary. "Hai Bangzi" never needs any good clothes? It's a waste to wear them. Besides, which new ones are in the store?
Clothing costs not more than a few yuan, more than ten yuan, but also requires cloth coupons. This is not the same as throwing money directly into the sea. Even if it is easier for them to make money, they have to pay for it with their lives.
You can't just waste it like this, right?
And just when he wanted to give Hong Yanwu some advice, he didn't expect that Hong Yanwu was just a master who used small money to do big things. He didn't want to take everyone to the department store to buy new clothes, but targeted the trust.
Old clothes from the store. He said that his plan was to be clean and respectable, to buy a few clothes for emergencies, and then sell them back to the store when he didn't want to wear them. At most, he would only lose money through the procedure.
fee.
This unique idea really impressed "Old Swordfish". It was also the first time that he knew that such a special store had always existed in the city. Although the things inside were not new, they were at least eighty-nine years old.
It is in new condition. The key is that it is not only cheap but also free of charge, and can be negotiated and repurchased multiple times.
In this way, his resistance was no longer serious, so he found a trust bank, and Hong Yanwu bought a set of shirts and trousers for three adults for only a dozen yuan. However, he felt a little aggrieved.
"Baizi", because the trust store never accepts the clothes of a half-grown boy, so naturally he doesn't have a share.
After buying clean clothes, I was going to take a shower. "Old Saury" was determined not to let Hong Yanwu spend any more money, and had to pay for the guests to take a shower and eat.
Therefore, taking care of the old man's self-esteem, Hong Yanwu and the others agreed. As a result, everyone spent 20 cents and took a hot bath.
But they didn't expect that the "sea bumper" who dared to come out of the sea with salt flowers hanging on his body had to wash off the salt with fresh water before applying soap, otherwise there would be white flowers on his body.
A layer of chemical reactants is like a skin disease, it will take several days to go away.
This was lucky. Thanks to the "old saury" washing with them, they were able to avoid this "face-damaging" mistake.
After taking a shower, several people put on clean clothes and looked brand new, and no one felt disgusted when they got on the bus. Just because I was afraid that "Old Saberfish" would spend too much money, after arriving at the place selling seafood, it was time to have lunch.
Hong Yanwu didn't have the nerve to choose a big restaurant. He just wanted to eat pot stickers at a small roadside restaurant. But he didn't expect that "Old Saury" would pick on himself but not others. He would not be vague at all when treating guests.
"Lao Hai Bangzi" who was familiar with the situation took them directly to a local time-honored "Yuhualou" for dinner. Not only did they order several meat dishes, but also the 50-cent, one-piece and two-piece cold vegetable platters displayed in the window.
I directly ordered the top-notch pork head platter.
Just this meal, these four people who had been eating seafood and noodles for a month, were really "made". They ate until they were so breathless that their plates were empty and their bellies were bulging. They were satisfied with their meat addiction.
The dishes served to their tables one after another even made some of the guests who were dining here secretly envious. I am afraid that for many years, this scene in their eyes will be their highest ideal in life.
It's just that people can't always go smoothly. After eating and drinking enough, there are some twists and turns when doing business. The sea cucumbers sold by "Old Saury" are really not going well.
