"Ahem... just push it on your back? Then order one and it will come..."
The layman laughed and said, "Okay, I'm here now. If you don't order, it'll be free, right?"
"Isn't this a treat for you? It's not free of charge, it's all here."
"Well, let's see which one you want."
Ye Yaodong saw that the landlady had asked a row of girls to stand up. He coughed dryly and asked, "How old are you?"
At first glance, they were all covered in thick makeup, and it was hard to guess their age. If he really had to guess, he felt that Ah Qing was younger than them.
"This is 20, this is 18, this is 18, this is 17..."
Ye Yaodong's mouth opened when he heard this, and he looked at the ordinary people in surprise, one was smaller than the other.
Madhu, you beast, no wonder you are familiar with the roads!
"Two bosses, which one do you want? Boss Zhang or Xiao Hong?"
"Which little girl is it? Oh, the one from yesterday? The 17-year-old one? No, no, no, let's change to the 16-year-old one..."
Ye Yaodong's eyes widened and he turned around to see, there are still 16-year-olds?!
"Damn it... do you really live here? You can't remember the name, just the age?"
"Ahem, it's your turn, hurry up, it's getting dark, I have to go home early."
"You still know how to go home?"
"Stop talking nonsense, do you want it? If not, just go back by yourself."
"Ahem, since you've come here, how can you go back like this?"
The common people have a speechless expression, who still doesn’t know who they are and what they are pretending to be?
Ye Yaodong looked from left to right, then from right to left, "Change a batch!"
"Fuck! You are obviously more experienced than me."
"Is there anyone older?"
"ah?"
Everyone was surprised.
"Ah, what? I'm sixteen or seventeen years old, like bean sprouts. I know how to press my butt. Find me some older ones."
"Grass!"
The common people entertained him.
Ye Yaodong asked around about his age and picked a 30-year-old man. He was already the oldest, and everyone was numb.
The two of them went to the innermost room, where there was only a curtain between them, took off their clothes and trousers and lay down on the bed.
The layman couldn't help but say: "You have really chosen it? Is this it?"
"Ang, you are older and have better skills. Do you want to consider changing to another one? I think there is another 29-year-old, although he is not as good as me..."
"Need not."
"You are sixteen or seventeen years old. You have been out for two months. How can you have the strength to massage? Do you know how to massage?"
"That's not important."
"The important thing is that I'm only 16, right?"
"That's right."
"Beast!"
Not just a beast, but a beast!
I just said that if you want to be serious, then be serious, and if you want to be unserious, then you are not serious.
"These 30-year-olds are older than me, don't..."
"Let's just say that you are always dishonest, and I am the most serious these days."
"Yes, yes, I will ask the landlady to find a 50-year-old for you later."
"Then don't do it."
"Didn't you say that older technology is better?"
"It's probably hard to find someone so old, so don't embarrass me."
"Next time I'll ask this street which store has the oldest one..."
Ye Yaodong lay down and closed his eyes to enjoy, ignoring him.
He doesn’t want a 50-year-old!
However, the feelings are really different depending on the age. He could hear the 16 or 17-year-old girl next door chattering and Boss Zhang shouting non-stop.
On his side, he just had his head pressed, and he was already a little drowsy.
It was time, and someone reminded him if he wanted to add more time, and he woke up in a daze.
"No need. I'll go back first, Boss Zhang?"
"Okay, then you go back first, I will add another hour."
Ye Yaodong laughed and put on his clothes first when he got up.
"Then you enjoy it slowly, I'll go back first."
"Okay, pay attention to safety."
His bicycle was still parked at the door, but luckily it wasn't stolen.
But this street is full of shops like this. When I came here just after dinner, it was not dark yet. It was already past 7 o'clock, and the whole street lights were on.
The whole street was full of bicycles parked everywhere. When he was riding out, he passed by bicycles.
And when he rode onto the main road, there were quite a few shops along the street that were still open for business. They were all selling food, or there were quite a few grocery stores, and they looked lively.
He estimated that within a few months, there would be a night market on the street.
It has really changed a lot. Last year it was deserted at night, but now there are many shops open on the street.
Ye Yaodong chose the main road to walk. There were bright lights along the way, including the headlights of cars. There were also many large trucks and tractors coming and going at this time.
As we get closer to the pier, the ground becomes wetter, filled with water dripping from the seafood, and the smell of sea food in the air becomes stronger.
It was completely dark around his construction site, and there were no street lights on the roadside.
Not to mention the area around it, there are only street lights on the pier around the entire coastline.
When he came back, the iron doors were locked. He had to call for someone to open the door, but he forgot to get him a key.
"Brother Dong, why did you just come back? There's no food left."
"I've eaten. I'll get a key to the iron door later."
"I put that bunch of keys in your house. You don't need them normally. There are people here from morning to night."
"Well, their boats are back after they went out to sea?"
"They are all back. They have been back since five or six o'clock. We just finished eating and sat there chatting and sharing today's gains."
"Um."
He had to take a shower first, then chat with other people and ask about the delivery.
Ye Yaodong is currently sleeping in the only room with a door. It is said to have a door, but in fact it is just a door panel.
I don’t know where they moved it from, so they can only block the door. You have to move the door panel to the side to get in and out, which is very inconvenient. You can’t lock the door when you get in or out, and you don’t feel safe at all.
"Tomorrow I will tell the workers to open the doors and windows as soon as possible, especially in my room."
"Understood. I will urge them tomorrow to install the doors and windows in your room first."
"Well, go to sleep, I'm fine here."
In addition to the straw and mats on the floor in his room, there is also the only table in the entire construction site, which is still missing an arm and a leg.
I guess they moved here from a junk pile somewhere.
He found a bunch of iron door keys from the drawer. He twisted one off first and then put it into a bunch of keys he carried with him. He put it on the table and then picked up his washbasin and went out to fetch water.
At night, his father is not here, so he can sleep well alone.
There are fewer people tonight, about 1/3 less.
The small boat trawls out early every day and returns late every day, under the stars and the moon.
The bigger ships, if there are no accidents, will not return until about a week to ten days.
In the next few days, everyone will probably be able to sleep in the house, and no one will sleep in the corridor.
After Ye Yaodong finished taking a shower, he went to sit with everyone, chat together, and ask everyone what they had learned today.
He just had a massage and he squinted for a while. He wasn't sleepy now and was just in time to enjoy the cool air and brag.
Everyone regrets not coming here earlier. The resources here are not comparable to those at home. We got off to a good start in the first two days and our confidence increased every night.
After bragging for a while, everyone dispersed one after another. I got up early last night, worked hard all day, and had to get up early to go to sea at night.
Ye Yaodong also went back to his house and lay down.
When he got up early the next morning, he looked through the order records he had recorded yesterday and used a calculator to do the counting before going out to have breakfast.
It's just that that group of people went to sea early in the night, and as usual only the workers on his side were still watching at the construction site.
“Brother Dong, are we going to sail out to sea tomorrow to collect the goods?”
"Has the matter of the goods been resolved? Is there a factory to collect it?"
"A Dong, I think the cargo of your very large ship can be collected by the fresh ship. If you make less money, you can make less. That ship has too much cargo. If the fresh ship is used, we can stay up all night and we should be able to do it.
Sold for seventy-seven or eighty-eight."
"If I had known earlier, I should have come up half a month later, so that factories everywhere would be able to increase production capacity."
He was away from home all day yesterday. Everyone thought he was running around for goods and didn't come back until it was dark.
The people on the other boats were away from home all day yesterday and didn't know about his troubles. They didn't care that he came back late last night and didn't mention it at all. They were just enjoying themselves and talking about receiving the goods.
His own workers thought it was very difficult for him, so they started giving him advice early in the morning.
"Don't worry, we have found some way. Just sleep until you wake up naturally tomorrow and go to sea to receive the goods."
"real?"
"What way?"
"Brother Dong is still capable. If he went out yesterday, it would be solved?"
"I know, is it the Chamber of Commerce? Yesterday, I helped Brother Dong deliver Maotai cigarettes. Those are imported cigarettes, costing several yuan a pack."
"The chamber of commerce that Brother Dong established last year was quite useful?"
Ye Yaodong did not give them a definite reply.
"Go ahead and do what you have to do. You don't have to worry about it. After you have planted vegetables on the land over there, you will go upstairs to help the workers. If you finish the work earlier, you can move in earlier, so that you don't have to sleep in the corridor.
It also frees up carpenters to quickly build doors and windows.”
Everyone should go along with it.
After finishing his meal, he pushed his bicycle out again.
The sales of the goods have been solved, and he has bought all the materials needed for the construction site here. There is nothing urgent now. He has to go to the shipyard to check the progress of his fishing boat to ensure that it can be successfully handed over in a few months.
If he had enough time, he would have to send the letter his brother-in-law asked him to deliver to Lin Guangyuan, the naval force stationed here, and he would have to inquire about the location in advance later.
I haven't finished all these bits and pieces yet, and I have to go to sea again tomorrow. It's not easy to make some money.
The more money you make, the more things you do.
When Ye Yaodong arrived at the shipyard, he didn't expect to meet Shen Ming'e.
This girl was so hot-tempered that she bumped into him when she came out.
His eyes and hands almost moved to the side, but it seemed that he hit someone's chest?
"You don't have eyes? Huh? Is it you?"
"Hello, Comrade Shen Ming'e, long time no see. You are getting more and more beautiful."
Shen Ming'e immediately became happy, "When did you come here? I thought the borrower disappeared after you finished the loan and was going to run away."
"How is it possible? My ships are still being held in your father's factory."
"I also asked my dad, he said that you came here two months ago, are you here to fish again?"
"Yeah, I just came here two days ago, and now I'm busy enough to free up my hands, so I came over to check on the progress of the fishing boat. I need you to help me hurry up."
"Then you have to tell my dad that I'm in a hurry to go to work now. If you have any deposit business, remember to contact me."
"No more loans?"
"Didn't you get a loan? You can't get a loan anymore, but you can save."
"Then if I deposit it, will it be directly withdrawn by your bank?"
"No, it's not due. It won't be deducted until it's due."
"Okay, you go to work first."
It’s okay if you don’t know how. I’m afraid that I’m not connected to the Internet and the operation is irregular.
But he will definitely not deposit the money in the bank. By then, it will be tens of thousands. When he goes back, if he saves hundreds of thousands like last year, he will be worried that he will not be able to withdraw it, or directly tell him
There is no such money.
There really was no place to cry.
Shen Ming'e hurriedly got on her bicycle again, waved to him and left.
Ye Yaodong looked at his watch. It was only around 8 o'clock, but he was quite diligent.
When he went to the factory, he didn't go to Director Shen. He was familiar with the situation and first went to check out a few of his boats. They were all at fixed locations anyway.
If you want to know the situation, just go and see it yourself, and then ask the shipbuilder. There is no need to bother Director Shen.
As long as it's being built, the workers haven't been transferred, and all the necessary equipment and materials are complete, there's no need to rush. It's useless to push. Everything is already being done. What else can we do? People also hope to deliver the goods as soon as possible.
He mentioned casually just now that it would be best if he can help with the urging verbally, or at least pay attention to it, and you can't delay him here.
Ye Yaodong inspected several boats and felt relieved that they were all being built there.
After asking the masters about the progress and approximate completion time, he remembered to ask these masters about the location of the troops.
However, after asking around, no one knew. I only know that there is a navy stationed here, and there is a navy at the port helping with the construction. I don’t know the details.
He still went to ask Director Shen and found out where he was stationed.
It turned out that they were stationed on a nearby island. Only boats could go back and forth, and fishing boats were not allowed near the island.
Then how can he deliver the letter? He can't deliver it, and he can't visit him either. He can only wait for Lin Guangyuan to come to his door.
After riding out of the shipyard, he immediately went to the Chamber of Commerce, not only to stay there to get to know a few more people, but also to make phone calls home.
Like everyone else, when he called back to report that he was safe, he also left the Chamber of Commerce's phone number and asked Lin Xiuqing to call the Chamber of Commerce's number and leave a message if anything happened.
So now he has to go there whenever he has free time to see if there are any messages from home to pass on, and by the way, he also spends some time in the Chamber of Commerce. This place is quite important to him now and it is quite useful.
"Hey, here you go again?"
"Come here and make a phone call."
"Are you going to call back again to report that you're safe?" Lao Zhang said and had already turned the phone in a direction to make it easier for him to call.
"Call me back if you have anything to say."
Ye Yaodong dialed the number as he spoke.
Just like the previous two days, I was picked up after just one ring.
"Dongzi!" the old lady shouted excitedly, "Okay, okay, this phone is installed well. Without Bai An, it will be much more convenient for you to call home and you can call more often."
"Have you been sitting by the phone all this time?"
"I'm sitting at home watching TV, and I'll make you a sweater by the way, so that when you come back in October, you'll have a new sweater to wear. I didn't know it was so cold up there last year. I washed and washed the sweaters from previous years, but they weren't thick enough. Already."
"That's okay, I just want to find something for you to do."
"Yes, yes, there are many things to do. Your mother even asked me to knit a few pairs of woolen slippers. She said they are very popular now. I will knit your sweaters first."
"You even know what's popular."
"No, the knitting pattern book you bought for Ah Qing before, she dug out and asked me to study it while I was sitting at home to pass the time."
The old lady said happily, feeling like she had accomplished a lot.
"Xiaojiu, go to the workshop and call your mother and ask her to come back and answer the phone. Your father has called back."
"OK."
Ye Yaodong took advantage of Ye Xiaojiu's call to call someone and chatted with the old lady for a few words. It wasn't until Lin Xiuqing came over that the old lady reluctantly gave her the phone.
"A Dong..."
"I have found out that the navy is stationed on a nearby island. You can't get close to it, and you can't send letters. You can only wait until Lin Guangyuan can call. Then give him the phone address of the Chamber of Commerce, and I'll leave it for you.
The address of the construction site.”
"That's it. Then I'll call my elder brother later and give him all the phone addresses you can contact. When Lin Guangyuan calls them, I'll also let him know."
"Well, everyone has already started to go to sea the night before yesterday. I will also sail out to collect goods tomorrow. I may not be there every day. Anyway, if you have anything, just call Lao Zhang and leave a message. I will come over when I am free, and I will convey it to
mine."
"OK."
The old lady was afraid that she would die, so she quickly shouted: "Dongzi, you should pay more attention to your health and rest more. You have just gone up. Don't be too tired and eat more delicious food."
"knew."
"If anything happens, just call me back. I..."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but answer, "You are sitting in front of the phone, he knows."
She said: "Every day I sigh at the phone and ask me why the phone doesn't ring. From time to time I pick it up and put it to my ear to hear if there is any sound."
"You ask me hundreds of times a day. My phone doesn't ring. Is it broken? I'm so annoyed. Why does it ring when no one calls?"
"It's only been a week since I left and it's been like this. If it lasts for a month, how can my ears bear it? I'll have calluses..."
"My mother was cruel to her. She asked her to stop asking questions. She scolded her a few times. She also complained to Huimei and Ahai and others. I also accepted it..."
"I also got annoyed with her, so I went back yesterday to buy ten pounds of wool and find some work for her to do slowly. It will be enough for her to work until the Chinese New Year."
"By the way, I'll find the book on knitting patterns you bought, let her study knitting for you, find something for her to do, and now her ears will be at peace."
Ye Yaodong was very happy to hear this, "You didn't complain to me just now."
"I guess I'll wait until dad calls me back to scold him."
Makes sense.
People like to express their anger.
When you are angry, of course you have to find someone who can bear your anger to retaliate.
"I'll hang up if there's nothing to do. When it's time to find something for her to do, just find something for her to do."
"Well, now we can rest until you come back."
Ye Yaodong grinned and hung up the phone.
Lao Zhang joked with a smile, "Everyone who called home was smiling after hanging up the phone."
"Of course I feel better if I can call my family. Isn't it just for my family that I am wandering and working hard outside?"
"Yeah, if it weren't for making money, who would leave their hometown?"
After Ye Yaodong paid the phone bill, he didn't leave and just stayed there chatting.
There are also some members of the chamber of commerce who will come over one after another if they have nothing to do that day, sit here to chat and enjoy the cool air. This is really everyone’s base camp.
After everyone got familiar with each other, Ye Yaodong started playing cards to kill time and increase friendship. It was noon and it was hot outside.
And this tradition also spread in the afternoon, from one table to two tables.
At the back, as long as someone is idle, they will come and sit and chat, and then they will start fighting when the corners are gathered.
However, this is just a small entertainment in leisure time. When it is time to be busy making money, everyone is still running around outside. This can only be regarded as a place for everyone to listen to the news and relax.
Not only can you call and wait for news, keep in touch with your feelings, but you can also relax yourself.
Ye Yaodong also waited until the sun went down and it was no longer so hot, before he left and returned to the construction site.
I earned three yuan from playing all afternoon, which was not enough to pay for food for the workers today, but it also allowed me to get acquainted with everyone.
He happily used the money to buy two large watermelons and returned to the construction site to share them.
He can't come tomorrow, but he can come again the day after tomorrow.
He has decided that as long as he is not out at sea, he will stay here and wait until the sun goes down before going back to do business for himself.
No, he didn't just win three yuan in one afternoon. He also confirmed the goods for two days and locked in a regular recipient of his goods.
The workers were very excited when they saw him carrying two big watermelons back.
"Brother Dong, I'll come, I'll come..."
"Is this going to be sent to the ship?"
"Send a few pounds of hair, and only two of them will be sent to the ship. If you really want to send it to the ship, then go to the farmer's market early tomorrow morning to wholesale two to three hundred pounds, and have them deliver it to the dock, and then move it onto the ship. Then we can press
Sell ​​it to other ships at the retail price and make some money."
"That's okay, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are."
"Then when you are buying groceries tomorrow morning, go ask and have them weighed and delivered directly to the ship and then come over to collect the money."
"Okay."
Anyway, he just keeps talking, and the people doing the work and running errands are all workers.
"Let's kill these two and share them. It's just enough to go with the rice."
"OK."
The dogs had already turned their noses up and followed the watermelon.
"Tear out the red ones and fry the white ones later."
Ye Yaodong was delighted, "Chen Guodong, this is a good job for you!"
"Oh, that's how my family eats. Watermelon rinds can't be wasted."
"If your family raises pigs, the pigs will starve to death."
"Then I also heard that you like to eat sweet potato vines. No wonder you don't raise pigs."
"It's so funny, cut some and feed it to the dogs, some of them will jump on the table."
"Okay, I also think this watermelon rind is delicious."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Ye Yaodong picked up a piece of cut watermelon. Although it didn't look that red and was pink, it tasted really sweet and juicy and relieved the heat.
Chapter completed!
