Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 174 Want to find another way?
Grandma Tan called over two or three old ladies. Although they were old and could not keep up with the speed of the sea catchingers, they were still nimble and agile.

Tan Shaoyang did not bother them and went out to prepare things.

Oil, sesame seeds, chili peppers and aniseed. Adding these ingredients will make the dish more flavorful.

Either don't do it, or if you do it, do the best. A bottle can hold half a kilogram and sell for two or three yuan. 1000 bottles can make two or three thousand yuan.

These small fish are easy to catch with just one net, but they do take some effort to handle. However, there are old ladies in the village who would be happy to have work assigned to them!

After all, no one would dislike money being hot.

400 kilograms of raw fish, after frying and drying, will only be about 350 to kilograms with the smell of oil. Probably bottles can be produced, which is a profit of even two dollars!
Tan Shaoyang was in high spirits. When he returned, the old ladies had also cleaned up the place. They did not slack off and handled everything very neatly. They were honest in their work.

I just sat for too long and my waist became stiff. Especially when Grandma Tan walked with her arms around her waist, it was uncomfortable to watch. I thought I should call two more people next time.

"Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work. We are all exhausted today."

Tan Shaoyang took out the money decisively. The old ladies wanted to refuse, but Tan Shaoyang forced the money into their hands.

"It's hard to refuse, otherwise I won't dare to ask you to do any work in the future. If I can make this spicy fish, I will definitely ask you to help me in the future."

"Brothers should settle accounts clearly, only in this way can they maintain long-term development."

The old ladies were so happy to get the money that they did not refuse it. Tan Laosan could make money, and it was a great thing for them, who were old and weak, to have some work assigned to them.

"Third brother, your grandma can enjoy the good life with you now. Don't look down on us when you have work to do in the future."

Tan Shaoyang assured again and again that he would let Grandma Tan call them as soon as there was work, and only then did he send these nagging old ladies away.

Grandma Tan flipped through the things he brought back and felt a pang of heartache. But when she thought about what her grandson was going to do, she suppressed her thoughts and just helped him get the things done.

The next step is to make the spicy fish.

In an instant, the fragrant smell spread throughout the whole yard. Just standing in the yard and smelling it made one feel extremely greedy.

Grandma Tan is very patient and never rushes through any of the steps. She is methodical until the products are finished and bottled.

It was almost the same as Tan Shaoyang expected. 342 bottles were filled, and the remaining could have been filled with one or two bottles. Even though Tan Shaoyang stopped him, he had to keep some for himself to satisfy his craving!

After everything was done, the fragrance also attracted people.

A group of little rascals, including the brothers Zhang Yishui and Xu Hai, all of them greedy people came running over after smelling the food.

Tan Shaoyang directly filled the bowl with food, one bowl of spicy fish and one bowl of hand-shredded squid, which were more than enough appetizers to go with the wine.

Zhang Yishui didn't know what politeness meant, and sat down faster than anyone else. "The third brother made some money today, what do you think I should do next?"

“Should I take out a loan to buy a boat, or a loan to buy a vehicle to transport sugar cane?”

Although hesitant at first, he finally followed suit and bought the land. He didn't have enough money, so he borrowed some from Tan Shaoyang, and only paid it back this month.

Although he had nothing on hand, it did not stop him from having ideas.

Tan Shaoyang waved his hand, "You have to consider this matter according to your own situation. If you buy a boat, you have to be tied to the sea at all times. If you buy a car, you have to be on the road for half a year."

"You can do whatever you want to do. No money is easy to earn."

"Don't be blind about taking out a loan. It will be a heavy burden on you. You are not under as much pressure as I am, so you don't need to put such a heavy burden on yourself."

"Once you make up your mind, you can't give up halfway."

For example, the Xu Hai brothers were very self-aware. They did not have such a large investment and did not dare to take out a loan, so they just built the house in a down-to-earth manner.

You can make a lot of money by building a house.

As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to build a new house in a few years.

If you have foresight, it would be normal to buy land in the town instead of living in the village.

This is the reason why many people settled in towns and counties in the future.

People always strive for higher goals, and who doesn’t want to go out?
"Since you brought the wine, don't worry about these things. Think about it slowly when you get back."

It's a stormy day, so there's no need to go out to sea. It's a perfect time to drink!
No matter how good a brother is, he cannot arrange the future for others. It is okay to analyze a little, but if he interferes, he will be blamed if he is in an uncomfortable position in the future.

After we finished drinking, there was still a drizzle below.

It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival. This is true. It is not certain how many times you can travel to the sea in this month!

People should live with an open mind. Make money when you can, and take a rest when you can't. It is not a good thing to worry all the time.

When the wind is strong and the waves are high at the seaside, it is time to start the cargo. The few of us didn't drink much, just had a few drinks and then dispersed. We all wanted to try our luck at the seaside. Earning a few dozen dollars is better than staying at home.

Zhang Yishui was drunk and left without any further delay.

The Xu Hai brothers also stood up, but were stopped by Tan Shaoyang, "Did your uncle get released?"

Xu Qiang nodded after listening, his face full of disgust, "He wasn't caught red-handed, he was just locked up for punishment, and now he's back."

"I feel depressed when I mention him. The Xu family's reputation has been ruined."

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "You can pay more attention to him. The wind and waves are too strong. If you are drunk, don't go to the beach. If you can't stand steadily, you will be easily swept in."

"I heard him arguing with your aunt. I guess he's out of money."

Xu Qiang waved his hands, obviously not wanting to deal with it, "Third brother, don't tell us about him. He is impatient to listen."

"Even if he was swept away by the sea, it was his fate."

"He's so lazy, how could he possibly go for a stroll on the beach? He's safer than anyone else."

"Even though he has two daughters, it's still good to raise them well. Is there anyone who lives such a pathetic life like him?"

Tan Shaoyang patted his shoulder and said nothing more. In his previous life, this cousin of theirs was indeed swept away by the sea after getting drunk.

He made the point, and whether there would be changes was not his concern.

Tan Shaoyang took a shower and went to bed. According to his current rate of making money, he didn't want to go out to the sea in the middle of the night, so he just fell asleep soundly.

As a result, at dawn, there were banging sounds at the door. When I opened the door, I saw Xu Qiang standing outside. He looked shocked and his face was pale.

Tan Shaoyang rubbed his eyes and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Qiang's voice was trembling, his face full of disbelief, "My cousin was really swept away by the sea after getting drunk. You could still see some traces of him in the front, but he was completely buried in the back."

If it is swept into the sea, there will be no trace of its body left.

People die every year living on the seashore. When there are no accidents, people tend to take it lightly, but once an accident happens, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.

If they had reminded them, would there have been no accidents?

Tan Shaoyang pinched his brows and said, "I saw your uncle these past two days. He scolded your aunt bitterly. It was mainly because he had no money."

"When I feel upset, I drink to relieve my sorrow."

"We live by the sea, what will happen if we have no money? We will definitely go fishing. If we go to the beach drunk, an accident will happen sooner or later."

Xu Qiang looked depressed. "You reminded me at that time. Shouldn't I have said something? Otherwise, the accident wouldn't have happened." "Although he deserved to die, it's hard to describe his death."

Tan Shaoyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. Go over and see if there's anyone you can help with."

"I'll pack up and follow you later."

Tan Shaoyang is not a nosy person. He has fulfilled his duty by mentioning the matter of his cousin Xu Qiang. As for whether the outcome was reversed, it is not within his obligation.

Although he was a scumbag, the atmosphere was still depressing after such an accident. Although he looked down on others, the right people still came to help.

That’s how it is in the village, happy events have to be attended by guests at home.

Funerals are all uninvited.

Help each other and do what you need to do!
It's been a few hours and there's no sign of him, so we need to prepare.

The old lady at home cried so much that her eyes became blind.

Aunt Xu Qiang's eyes were also swollen. No matter how bad a man is, he is still the head of the family. After he leaves, the family will have to rely on the woman to support it. How can it not be sad?

The body was kept for three days, with Xu Qiang's nephew holding the basin and his daughter following beside him. Firecrackers were set off along the way, and paper money was used to clear the way. It was a grand farewell for him.

Because of this incident, the village chief gathered people together and repeatedly reminded them of the dangers of high tide. After all, humans are small and cannot compete with nature.

Don't deceive the mountains but don't deceive the water. Once you drown in water, you will never be able to get out.

This incident has served as a warning. The villagers will definitely be cautious for a few months. They will have to deal with what happens next.

You can't just not eat because you're afraid of choking to death!

You can't be timid when you are alive, especially since you have to rely on this sea to survive. You can't stop living because of fear!
After waiting for a few more days, the ground became a little drier.

Tan Shaoyang put 342 bottles of spicy fish and packages of hand-shredded squid into the car and left in a hurry.

This trip to Guangdong was so hard that his butt was numb from driving. He wouldn't do it if he couldn't make money!

He went there according to the address given by Bai Mei. He would not do it if he could not make some money by taking such a big risk.

By the time we got to the destination after such a bumpy ride, we were almost exhausted.

The road was difficult to walk on at that time. After driving for a day and a night, even the most energetic people would be tired.

Tan Shaoyang didn't dare to sleep soundly, so he took a nap in the car and waited until it was light before going to look for Bai Mei.

The other party has been here for quite some time. Relying on her abilities, even if she can't make it big, she can at least gain a foothold.

Following the route taken, Bai Mei was just about to go out when she was stunned the moment she saw him. She thought she was seeing a living person!

Another person who was also stunned was Tan Shaoyang.

Bai Mei was wearing something extremely bold, a floral shirt tucked into a red skirt that reached below her knees, a very hot style.

She has a graceful figure, some are thin where they should be thin, and some are curvy where they should be curvy.

It's very charming.

When it comes to daring dressing, Bai Mei has to be the one. She is at the pinnacle of fashion, dazzling and eye-catching.

Bai Mei saw the surprise in his eyes and turned around to him, "You are used to seeing sweet and lovely people, how about me wearing this?"

"Can it make you feel excited?"

Bai Mei went up to him and hugged his arm tightly, wrapping his arm tightly in it. This was the place she rented, specifically for stocking up on goods, so she didn't have to worry about being seen.

Tan Shaoyang tried to pull his hand away, but was hugged even tighter.

"Let go first. You've been driving for a whole day and night. You're exhausted. You look filthy and you don't mind."

Bai Mei took a look at his condition. His beard had grown out and his mental state was not so high spirits. He was indeed tired.

"Just drive the car in and lock the door. Have a good sleep and I'll come back at noon to bring you something delicious."

Tan Shaoyang didn't bother to bother with her. He needed to catch up on his sleep. When a person is sleepy, he has no time to think about other things.

After washing up, I filled my stomach and fell asleep on the bed.

I slept soundly that day. Before I woke up, I felt a tightness in my chest, and then something wet slipped into my mouth.

The moment he opened his eyes, Bai Mei was lying on top of him, holding his head and kissing him wildly.

After a struggle, they smelled each other's scent and their breathing became rapid.

Bai Mei asked, "Your little green plum is not yet ripe. It has been left unripe for several months. Is it going to explode if touched?"

"I thought you wouldn't come to see me until June at the earliest! I didn't expect it to be shortened by two months. I'm really impatient!"

Tan Shaoyang hugged her waist, and with a push of his waist, he sat up, hugged her and pressed her against the wall, away from the bed, "How can you not be diligent in making money?"

Since we can’t go out on the boat for several days due to this rain, don’t we have to find other ways to make money?

Bai Mei raised her hand and pinched his face, then glanced at the bed and said in a teasing tone, "You don't like being serious anymore, you like to find new ways."

Tan Shaoyang held her down and kissed her twice, then let her go.

"My goods are still in the truck, so don't worry about it. Find me a way, then we can talk about other things."

He buttoned up his clothes and went out. Even though he was ready to go, he did not fall for her temptation.

Bai Mei glanced at the tent he had set up and said with a smile, "Even in this state, you are still trying to make money!"

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, stabbing her in the heart, "You have to make money to marry a wife!"

Bai Mei was speechless for a while, "I know you cherish your girlfriend, and I don't want to compete with her, so there's no need to provoke me."

"That's all I have to say to you. If you can satisfy me, I will help you make money."

"As for your little Qingmei, I will keep it a secret and won't let her know. After all, I won't feel comfortable if your backyard is on fire."

Having said that, Tan Shaoyang must take control of the initiative and not let everything get out of control.

"Sister Bai, please help me find a sales channel first, and then we can talk about it."

"Whether you want to go into battle with a gun or not, you have the final say when the time comes."

Bai Mei didn't insist. It would only be smooth sailing if both parties were willing.

"I'll find you a way out, so you can just press me against the wall, this way or that?"

"It was quite fun at the door shop you rented."

"But the skirt I'm wearing today is more convenient for you! It will definitely allow you to charge into battle without any hindrance."

Tan Shaoyang felt helpless. If he continued to flirt, he would not be able to go out.
