MTL - Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982-Chapter 456 Adulterated
All day, the whole village sat at the door, and there was no house or house without a mountain of shells.
Wait until the afternoon, people were pushing scooters to deliver goods to the pier one after another. Sitting at the door, they could all see scooters in the distance.
As time goes by, there are more and more cars. Some people who don’t have a cart use a shoulder pole to pick them up. No, the line is getting longer and longer, and it has been more than 100 meters from the pier.
This has never been done before, and the ranks continue to grow.
They were all speechless.
"There are... so many people? How can this be sold? It probably won't be sold today." Ye Mu stretched her neck and kept paying attention to the direction of the pier.
Ye Yaodong looked at the corner, there were still two bags left to pick, the efficiency was too low.
His father and mother were busy repairing the roof of the old house and settling the pig. They didn’t come to help until two o’clock.
Where can the two children sit? After eating, they ran and played. Only Lin Guangyuan and him kept picking, but Lin Guangyuan couldn't pick if there was meat or not, so he could only sort and classify various shells. pick yourself.
Only he and Lin Guangyuan worked too slowly, and they scoured more shells than others, two bags more than his elder brother and second brother's.
There are more goods than others, and less work than others. The queue at the dock is very long, and they can only sit at the door and stretch their necks to watch.
His eldest brother and second brother also just finished picking and went to line up first.
"When the sorting is over, we'll pile it up in the yard first, and then sell it tomorrow, so we don't have to wait in line, and it won't go bad after a day." Ye Yaodong stretched his neck and looked at the long queue, "It would be nice to collect half of it today."
Father Ye looked anxiously, "I'm afraid that tomorrow the price will not be as high as today, and suddenly there are so many scallops, disrupting the market."
"That can't be helped. They have to be collected by the dock. Let's sort them out first. Fortunately, some have been sent over in the morning."
"Father, Ah Dong, come over and help carry these shells to the corner over there to pile them up."
Mrs. Ye finished cleaning the door, packed all the empty shells in sacks and tied them up, and quickly called the two remaining men in the family to help carry them.
Second Sister-in-law Ye is also packing the bag, and she is binding the mouth of the bag. She also said, "Help me carry it later."
The father and son hurriedly got up to help carry the shells.
Someone came to collect these empty shells. Although they are not very valuable, they are better than throwing them back into the sea, and they can be sold for some money.
In the future, those who breed oysters will need to tie these scallop shells into strings, but no one has cultivated them in this era.
But the feed factory will use the shells to grind them into powder and add them to duck or chicken feed to supplement nutrition for poultry.
Or burn the shells into powder by yourself and sprinkle them in the fields to sterilize them, which will help the growth of crops.
Nowadays, scallop shells are used to pave roads in many places. Paving with scallop shells can harden the road surface and make it very strong.
Sister-in-law Ye and second-sister-in-law Ye also moved a small bench to help them pick and chat together after packing up, and three or four older children were also sent over to help them do it together.
Ye Chenghe's buttocks were as if oiled, twisting and turning, his eyes kept looking at the four little ones gathered around the door, he really wanted to go and play!
"What are you looking at, pick it up quickly, and call it a day when you're done picking it up." Aunt Ye saw that he was dawdling, holding a clam in her hand for a long time, so she quickly kicked him.
"I don't want to do it anymore, okay? I've been sitting all afternoon, and I still have to do it, my **** hurts." His heart has already gone to nowhere.
Ye Chengjiang also turned his head to look at other people playing from time to time, and said unbalanced in his heart: "Why do we have to sit here when they can play?"
"Why are there so many opinions? Who made you older, thinking about playing all day long, asking you to do a little thing, and talk so much."
"No matter how much you sit for a long time, you will get tired and your **** will hurt. I don't want to do it anymore."
The second sister-in-law Ye raised her hand and wanted to hit someone, but the old lady quickly stopped her, "If you don't want to do it, go and play, there are so many grown-ups who don't need you, anyway, there are not many, go and play!"
Usually when they teach the children, the old lady will not stop them. They just coax them after beating them. Today, I see that they are really well-behaved. They have been helping for a long time, so it is okay to beat the children again.
An old lady spoke, and a few people glanced at the faces of their respective mothers, and immediately slipped away "babe".
They were busy until it was almost time for dinner before they sorted all the shells.
At this time, the team outside the pier had already lined up along the shore for 300 meters away, and some people were still standing at the intersection, watching and discussing.
Neighbors next to each other were more than others because they were one step ahead, and they were all sorted at this moment, and they all stood at the door hesitantly.
"How long will this long line of riding horses last?"
"I guess it will take all night?"
"You don't need to sleep anymore, I guess you have to arrange a shift? The whole village has come here to line up, and the next door village has also come here, right?"
"Guess so."
"It is estimated that there are still people who have not lined up? Such a long line is scary to look at."
"Hey hey hey~ There are three tractors coming over, they should be here to pick up the goods..."
People who lined up and chatted together in twos and threes when they had nothing to do, when they saw the tractor coming, they all gave way to the tractor. Fortunately, everyone usually pushes carts to and from the pier. The road is quite wide.
Ye Yaodong pushed all the shells and shellfish back to his yard, and after he piled them up, he said to his father, "Let's go outside the pier and have a look? I feel that the speed of receiving goods is really slow."
"Well, that's what I was thinking, and I don't know when I will receive it."
The father and son did not stop for a moment, and then went outside the pier.
They couldn't tolerate them not caring, they sorted out a total of two big bags, one bag half a head smaller, and 3 bags of empty shells.
Other shellfish were also sorted into several baskets, several baskets were not full, but the quantity was really quite a lot, and he reckoned it took up about two or three bags.
It was because of the careful sorting that they spent a little more time, because they also had to sort when they went to sell goods outside the wharf in the morning, big ones, big prices, small ones, small prices.
Wait until the father and son hurried to the outside of the pier, only then did they see the chaos outside, everyone was cursing there.
"Isn't this pretty big? What's wrong with putting it inside the big one?"
"We all divided well and you still have to pour it out and pick it. What a waste of time. They didn't need it before..."
"That's right, the time was delayed by you in this way, that's why it's so slow, the queue behind is very long."
Ah Cai jumped there angrily, cursing with spittle: "You bastards, I thought there were too many people at first, so I thought I'd take them away quickly. The folks in the province lined up for too long, making the chickens break, who are you?" I know you are all so treacherous, you mix the small ones into the big ones, and you mix the empty shells into a lot."
A Gui from another purchase point was also scolding there, "Every grandson, I believe you are a loser, and you are all fooling us, Sai Linmu, add at least ten catties to 100 catties..."
People from other purchasing sites were also scolding, "The **** ones, obviously they can be collected quickly, so it takes a long time to pick now, the Sailinmu ones, and the later ones, you pick them out for me first, and then weigh them after you pick them out."
"I even invited three or four people to come over and choose for you..."
The group of folks also retorted there, "There is nothing wrong with it, we are all big and small, and we picked them separately..."
"That's right. Occasionally, there are elderly people with blurry eyes, regardless of size, and it's normal to have meat and shells. How can it be so clean?"
"That's right, everyone picked the right ones, and it's normal to pick the wrong ones occasionally..."
Ah Cai scolded again: "Are you wrong a few? Look at the shells all over the floor, are you guilty? This tells you to sort them carefully? If it's just a few mistakes, we won't say, who the **** Mom wasting time here to get serious with you about those few shells..."
"Everyone is so treacherous, Sai Linliang, don't you know how much you mixed in?"
"If you didn't cooperate, wouldn't you be able to pass a few scales for a long time?"
"I was so angry that the tractor master just said it when he came back. As soon as it was poured out at the market, he said that it was not as beautiful as the one delivered this morning. I picked a bag at random, but I didn't expect to pick a bunch of empty shells."
"Then... that other people's behavior doesn't mean that I'm the same, I've chosen well..." Some people also said confidently with their necks stuck.
A Cai raised his eyebrows, "There are honest people, but there are also treacherous people!"
Immediately, Agui suddenly said angrily: "Whose product is this damn? This horse is almost 30% mixed, thinking that we will go blind when it gets dark? You said that the old man has poor eyesight, how many mistakes did you pick? "
"When we are all blind, or stupid birds?"
"We need to discuss the price of the delivery."
"ah?"
"Yes, we have to discuss it, because the goods sent away earlier were not up to standard, so they were directly discounted, and now all the goods in the future will also be reduced in price."
Suddenly, the crowd was boiling, and everyone was talking and booing...
"I can't help it. The market has lowered the price. I just selected a few people. You have seen the situation, right? Especially the one who mixed up nearly 30% of the money. The small ones were mixed into the big ones. This is treating us as blind , being an idiot..."
…
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father looked at each other, no wonder the team didn't move for a long time, it turned out that the problem was here.
This... There are people who are sneaky, sneaky, and greedy for petty gains. They are everywhere, and there is really no way to avoid them.
You are not adulterated, but it does not mean that other people are honestly not adulterated.
"This is the end of the game... When will we pick each one?" Ye Yaodong suddenly felt tricky, there are so many numbers.
Father Ye also frowned, "Surely there is no way to pick them one by one? If you pick them one by one, you won't be able to collect a few by tomorrow morning."
"Isn't this horse-riding too ruthless?"
"What's wrong with this? We are honest and pick well."
"Look at what they said after discussing? It's not discussing."
