Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 124 The main point is not to admit it, just hold it in!
The trip took two days. As soon as he got ashore, Tan Shaoyang went straight to the town. Regardless of whether he could keep the seafood, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

The important thing is to sell it as soon as possible and make money.

This way, the villagers wouldn’t see us and think we’re short-sighted.

I was already very familiar with Uncle Shi and knew where his house was, so I went straight there.

Uncle Shi was just about to take a break when he heard a knock on the door and came out. His eyes widened when he saw Tan Shaoyang carrying a large pile of goods.

During this period, there has been very little seafood, and business has been very tight. With so little goods, no money can be made, and he is almost pulling out all the hair on his head.

Suddenly seeing so much fresh seafood, my jaw almost dropped.

"Third brother, come in quickly. Thanks to you for thinking about Uncle Shi, I can't go on like this."

While sighing, he was pulling the goods on the back seat of the bicycle. His eyes were shining and he wished he could unload all the goods.

That’s what I thought, and that’s what I did.

Looking at the big abalone, sea cucumbers and blue crabs, the usually calm man's hands began to tremble.

"This quality is so rare. Where did you go to find ink?"

Tan Shaoyang said, "Uncle Shi, don't bother to find out the truth. Just name your price! Even if I told you, you wouldn't have the time to look for it."

"You usually don't cheat people, and we have a pleasant cooperation. I came directly to you. The price you give me should be more conscientious. This is a rare and good quality!

Uncle Shi nodded repeatedly and gave the most conscientious price directly.

Tan Shaoyang was too lazy to waste time and went straight to the point, saying that they were all people who understood the market and no one could fool anyone else.

I made 150 yuan after one trip.

I was exhausted, but also quite satisfied.

Uncle Shi was also extremely excited and scared to death, so he transported the baby directly to the store and took good care of it.

The stall was set up as soon as daybreak.

Although I was tired, the thought of making money brought back my energy and spirit.

It's a rare thing. Usually there are few people on the stalls, but today there have been constant crowds of people. There haven't been many seafood products for a while, and suddenly there are so many fresh ones. Even if there is no scramble to buy them, it's still very lively.

After all, no one wants to miss out on trying something new.

Business here is booming and is in full swing.

On the other side, the mute girl's father brought the seafood caught by the villagers over and saw at a glance that there were a lot of people on Boss Shi's stall.

Although he and his boss disliked each other, he couldn't help but inquire about their cooperative relationship.

"Where did Mr. Shi from next door get so many goods?"

"He looks quite big. What did he find?"

"That shouldn't be the case. There aren't many places that can bring in seafood these days. There are only a few sporadic ones. Boss Shi can make a day's profit without having to work for a month."

The boss glanced at him, feeling particularly upset when listening to his words. He snorted and said, "Who should I ask if you ask me? He has so many goods and I am still feeling aggrieved!"

"Did Tan Laosan from the small fishing village bring it? He can load so much goods, but you keep saying you don't have any. Do you not want to cooperate with me?"

Who wouldn't feel aggrieved when you are stuck in a shortage of goods while the other party has an abundant supply?

After hearing this, the mute girl's father was so angry that his neck became thick. He was suspicious of him and thought that he had the goods but was not selling them to him!
"Look at what you're saying. Don't I want to have goods? I don't want to make money. The weather is dry and it's really hard to push goods to the seaside. The villagers can barely eat themselves, so how can they sell them?"

"These things I brought to you were all caught in the deep sea. It's hard to catch valuable goods on the shore."

"Usually when fishing, you would disdain it if you have wounds, otherwise you could make some money."

"And these goods may not have been brought by Tan Laosan. The villagers are all good at finding goods. I haven't heard of anyone finding a large amount of goods anywhere."

"I've been hanging around in the small fishing village. If there's any movement, I can know it clearly. How could it be hidden from me?"

The boss waved his hand, impatient to see him, "Go away! I don't even want to see you anymore. The catch has wounds, and the buyers are picky."

"It's not a question of whether I want to sell it or not. If I can't sell it, it will be a loss for me."

"Besides, if they can make money, will they spread the word?"

"You said that the goods were scarce. If they can make money, they have to do it secretly. Why would they announce it to the world and make you jealous? Then you will question their ability to make money."

After being scolded by him, the mute girl's father felt that what he said made sense. Tan Shaoyang was indeed good at making money. Maybe he could find a breakthrough somewhere again?

Thinking of this, he did not waste any time and walked quickly to the small fishing village, and went straight to his home as he was familiar with the route.

"Tan Shaoyang, did you find the goods on Boss Shi's stall?"

"Why are you so stingy? You have a way to make money, but you don't even think about helping the villagers."

Tan Shaoyang was about to go out when he ran into the questioning face of the mute sister's father. He turned pale and said in an unhappy look, "Why are you so nosy?"

"If you have the time, why don't you go to the sea twice more!"

"Boss Shi has fish, but you suspect me. Am I the only one he knows?"

"From your jealous tone, you must have quite a few of them! Otherwise, you wouldn't be so angry and come to my door directly."

"I never leave the house, where do you think I can find the goods?"

"Don't be so obsessed with making money that you'll want to take a bite of anyone you catch."

"I have to go out to see the village chief, so I don't have time to play with you. You should go catch some fish before the oxygen runs out!"

"Earning ten or eight dollars can help fill your gap. Otherwise, you will be upset if you lose too much."

"With the equipment you bought, you will definitely not be able to make back your investment in the fish you catch, but you should make as much as you can. At least you won't lose too much."

Mute girl’s father: “…” He clearly came here to question people, so why was he given the brushoff?

"Why do you like to bully others so much? You don't have the slightest thought of respecting the elderly and loving the young."

Tan Shaoyang said with a sullen face, "Come out quickly, I'm going to lock the door."

The mute girl's father was really angry. "What's that look in your eyes? What's so special about your shabby home? Is there anything worth noting?"

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, "There's nothing to worry about. You're still standing in my house!"

"Hurry up, don't delay my departure. We are not the kind of people who can chat with each other. There is no need to hate each other. Just leave now."

Tan Shaoyang was almost about to tell him to get out.

This guy is really sensitive. Fortunately, I sold it to Boss Shi at night. If he was caught in the daytime, not to mention making a fortune in silence, he would spread the news to the whole village. Boss Shi has been observing his expression and found that he was calm and did not look guilty at all, so he thought it was not him.

But after thinking about it, I couldn't think of anyone else.

My head hurts from thinking too much, so I just put my doubts aside.

Tan Shaoyang ignored him after he went out. He had put the money in his pocket and was not caught. Even if he did not admit it, what could he do?
Anyway, the main point is to deny it to the end.

As soon as he arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief looked at him expectantly and asked, "Old Third, what's going on? Have you discussed it?"

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "We've discussed it. We understand that everyone is having a hard time, so we'll rent the boat to everyone."

"The weather won't stay like this forever. It will calm down after it rains in a few days."

"We are all from the same village. The villagers are having a hard time. We are happy to lend a hand if we can."

The village chief was relieved to hear that he agreed, for he was afraid that he would refuse!
After all, there is no way to refuse other people's things.

"Then it's settled. I'll pass on the news. The villagers will thank you for your generosity."

The village chief was busy making arrangements, so Tan Shaoyang left.

He didn't consider how the villagers would feel. After all, human nature is quite complicated. They are grateful when they benefit, but they will behave differently when they don't.

Tan Shaoyang walked around the beach and saw a lot of diving equipment thrown randomly on the beach. It was obvious that they had been discarded because there was no oxygen.

Tan Shaoyang picked them up and listened to his friend cursing in the distance. It was obvious that he had run out of oxygen and was feeling depressed because he couldn't go into the sea.

Lao Tie was indeed very angry. It cost a lot of money to get back this pile of diving equipment. The little money earned from selling fish was simply a drop in the bucket and could not fill the gap at all.

Now, there is no oxygen. Those who went into the sea come up without catching any fish. They scold him, throw their things aside and leave.

But he was really frustrated.

Those who want to quarrel with others but cannot do so are all strong and sturdy young men in the village. If they fail to reach an agreement and a fight breaks out, he will suffer even more!
So, these things that are treated as treasures are thrown aside and become disgusting and annoying to look at.

He was fooled at the time, and was told that these things were very useful. He was very excited about them, but when he came back he found out there were disadvantages.

Who knew the oxygen would run out so quickly?

If I had known this, I would not have bought this thing at that time. I worked so hard to earn the money, but in the end I failed.

Just thinking about it makes me depressed, and all my energy is exhausted.

Tan Shaoyang saw his dejected look from a distance, and approached him and said, "My friend, do you still want these equipment?"

A pile of sand thrown on the beach looks extremely messy.

Lao Tie waved his hand and said with disgust, "No more." There is no oxygen, what's the point! He doesn't have the time to find a place with oxygen!

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "I'll take these things for 30 yuan."

Lao Tie looked at him as if he were a fool, with disbelief in his eyes, "What's the use of these things? The oxygen is all used up."

Tan Shaoyang took out the money, and said, "Don't worry about it. I have a use for it. If you want to sell it, just take the 30 yuan. If you don't like it, I'll keep the money."

Without saying a word, Lao Tie snatched the money from his hand and said, "Once you give me the money, it's mine. You can take these things if you want, but you can't come to me later!"

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "Don't worry, just come back and look for it when you find it useful."

Lao Tie waved his hand without thinking and said, "It's impossible. I'll give it to you. I won't look for it again." I have been sunbathing like a monkey during this period and only earned a few dozen dollars.

It's a huge loss.

He won't waste his time here. It makes people so exhausted. He doesn't know how much money he can make by wasting his time, and he's exhausted too.

After watching Lao Tie leave without looking back, Tan Shaoyang packed up the equipment and took it all back home.

After cleaning, place it properly.

As for the empty oxygen tanks, I put them all on the bicycle and rode out directly.

Whether something is good or not depends on whether the person using it can make full use of it. If you dive into the deep sea, you will definitely be able to catch a lot of stuff.

They have been staying in shallow areas all this time and have not tried distant areas. There are more opportunities in the deep sea!

As for the location of the oxygen supply, he knew it, and no matter how far it was moved, it wouldn't be far away.

He has a car, so a trip is no big deal.

It took half a day to transport the oxygen tanks filled with oxygen back to the village.

The villagers looked at the familiar oxygen tank and asked in confusion, "Old Third, how did this thing end up in your hands?"

Tan Shaoyang replied with a smile, "My friend didn't want it anymore, so I bought it from him for 30 yuan."

The villagers were at a loss for words. They wanted to say that he was a fool for picking up things that other people didn't want, but they swallowed the words back. Tan Laosan always did things cautiously, so how could he do something that would not benefit him?

"Why did you spend money on this thing? My friend has already lost it, and you are still picking it up!"

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, "The stuff is still good. It would be a pity to throw it away. I have also filled up the oxygen tank. When we go out to sea, we can try our luck in the deep sea."

As for more, I won’t say more.

Facts speak louder than words. Seeing him catch fish will naturally make people excited.

The village chief called a meeting with the villagers and made it clear that each family had one quota to go out to sea, and almost as soon as the discussion was completed, they were eager to go out to sea.

We simply drew lots. There were six people in a group. Those who drew the first group would go first, and the ones who drew the last group would take turns. Those who drew the last group would have to wait patiently.

This is just a matter of luck. Whoever you draw gets it, so there’s no need to complain too much.

Tan Shaoyang also got a quota, which was an extra share given by the village chief. One can tell at a glance how much the village chief cares for him.

Tan Shaoyang naturally seized the opportunity and took all the diving equipment with him. Next was his chance to make money.

When he reached the deep sea, he dived into the sea to look for goods.

For those boats that go out to sea, all the fish caught by casting the nets are divided equally. After casting the nets, during a long wait, Tan Shaoyang took action. After half an hour in the sea, he caught a bag full of fish.

Octopus, abalone, scallop shells, and small green dragon fish, what can be sold are sold, and what cannot be sold are taken home to eat. The gauze net hanging on the belt is so heavy that it is unbelievable to look at.

"Third brother, did you catch these by diving? That's a lot. I usually don't see them catching that much by diving into the sea."

After Tan Shaoyang took away his equipment, he took a breath and said, "This is a deep sea area. There are plenty of fish underneath. It's different from the ones on the shore. You have to swim a distance to catch them, which is a waste of energy."
