Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village
Chapter 194 is jaw-dropping and admirable!
Chapter 194 is jaw-dropping and admirable!
Night falls.
A busy day comes to an end.
Director Chen is a man of great foresight and eloquence.
Tan Shaoyang had a lively chat with the man and drank with him, and was only allowed to go home in a slightly tipsy state.
Have a sound sleep.
The next morning, when Tan Shaoyang was sleeping soundly, someone knocked on the door. The loud sound woke him up.
Tan Shaoyang opened his eyes and pinched his forehead. Fortunately, he didn’t have a headache, otherwise it would have been difficult to deal with.
I got up and opened the door, and saw my cousin Liu Xiang and her sister outside, followed by the owner of the OK Hall.
“Come in first, I’ll wash my face.”
Tan Shaoyang became sober after washing up, at least he no longer looked depressed.
Then he went to receive the guests who had come from afar.
The boss smiled and said, “Betel nut has received unanimous praise from young people. The original quantity was too small. I was just thinking about asking if we could increase the supply?”
Tan Shaoyang raised his eyebrows and went straight to count the goods. This batch of goods had been completed, but he had not yet had time to deliver the goods. Unexpectedly, the boss came to his door in person.
This place has always been popular among young people, and betel nut can give people a unique experience, so it is normal that it is liked by young people.
“I happened to be delayed these days. How did you get here, brother? Do you want me to transport the goods for you?”
The boss smiled and said, “That’s even better. By the way, I can also take a ride. It was really hard to take this bus when I came here.”
Tan Shaoyang nodded, “Eat first, then load the goods.”
With that the two of them left.
As for cousin Liu Xiang, they brought the boss and left.
Zhang Yibei brought her baby with her, and it was obvious that the little sister had something thoughtful to say.
They were all grown men, without any hesitation. After filling their stomachs, they went back to load the goods. They put baskets full of betel nuts on the truck, one box on top of another, packed very tightly.
At present, when there are no new additions, the supply of betel nuts is limited. Even if you want to make more money, you have to make sure there is stock.
Without raw materials, everything is fantasy.
After everything was loaded, there was still some space left in the truck.
Immediately, drive off.
It was almost noon when we arrived in the city.
Count the quantity, move the goods to the designated place, and calculate the money.
It was already noon when we finished all the work.
The boss said with a smile, “Don’t rush back, Lao San. Why don’t you play here for a while? You will have a different experience in the evening.”
“You’ve been here many times, but you haven’t experienced this yet!”
Tan Shaoyang raised his eyebrows. Having experienced a more progressive period, to be honest, the karaoke hall did not have much appeal to him at this time, but long-term communication and social interaction were essential.
Tan Shaoyang did not refuse and agreed.
If you can offer improvements or suggestions to the other party, perhaps the transaction can become more stable!
After all, he is a person with innate advantages.
Advantages that can be utilized must not be wasted.
The boss entertained him warmly and took care of both lunch and dinner. After all, betel nut helped him attract a lot of customers, so one or two meals were no problem at all.
So and so.
When night falls, it is the world of young people.
Unlike small towns, big cities are more lively and bustling.
No matter what period, there is always a big gap between the rich and the poor. When rural children are working hard, others can already live a luxurious life.
This kind of situation happens all the time and is nothing new.
The equipment at that time was not very advanced and the lighting was not very bright, but combined with the loud sound system, it was still able to immerse people in it and make every cell in their body excited.
Coupled with the excitement brought by chewing betel nut, it can really make people excited.
The boss brought him some wine and poured him some wine, then asked, “What do you think of my place? It’s the most famous one in this area.”
Tan Shaoyang smiled, but there was not much surprise in his eyes. “Comparatively speaking, it is indeed quite good, but it can be better.”
“First of all, the lighting is too monotonous and not psychedelic enough. It doesn’t make people feel excited and their blood boils.”
“That is to say, my vision is not very high now, so I can make do with it.”
“The second is the sound system. The sound quality is too messy. We can purchase more perfect sound equipment. We don’t have it here, so we can go to more advanced cities to look for it.”
“At the same time, we can set up private rooms. This is also a gimmick. Only rich people can go there. They must be booked in advance. This will invisibly increase your status and attract people’s praise.”
“There is still a lot of room for improvement in all aspects.”
“Brother, don’t think I’m being blunt. These are just some superficial opinions. If you think they are useful, you can refer to them.”
“If you think it has no effect, just ignore it.”
The boss was nonchalant at first, but later on became more and more focused, listening without blinking, as if he wanted to digest all of his words.
At the beginning, I was full of confidence and felt that I was very capable. However, after listening to what Tan Shaoyang said, I feel that I have many shortcomings.
If we can make some transformation as he said, once the transformation is successful, there is no need to worry about not being able to move to a higher level and make more money?
It’s really too much of an excuse to teach an expert.
Because I thought people from small places didn’t have much vision, I wanted to take him to broaden his horizons. Little did I know that he was too low-key, knowledgeable and just didn’t want to show off.
Or maybe his vision is too narrow, his understanding is too weak and not comprehensive enough. He still wants to show off complacently, and it’s good enough that he is not laughed at.
“Third brother, tell me, have you ever done anything bigger or been to a more prosperous place?”
“Otherwise, how can there be such a different feeling?”
Tan Shaoyang said, “I have been to Guangdong, but I didn’t know much about OK bars. This is just my small suggestion. If you think it can be used, you can modify it a little.”
“If you think it’s nonsense, just listen to it. It’s just idle talk after all. If there’s anything inappropriate, please forgive me!”
The boss pays more attention to him. Even though he comes from a small place, he should not be underestimated!
“Old Three, can you give me a blueprint?”
“I know people from all walks of life. I can introduce you to a few. More friends mean more opportunities. What if there’s something you can get along with?”
“That way we can have another source of income.”
Tan Shaoyang smiled and waved his hands, “I am just a villager from a small fishing village. Even if you introduce those big bosses to me, we won’t be able to get along well.”
“If you want a planning blueprint, I can just draw one for you. With our cooperation, it’s not a big deal. After all, I’m not going in this direction. If I can help you move to a higher level, my business will also be boosted.”
“Why don’t you go get a pen and I’ll draw you a rough diagram and explain it to you, and it will be clear to you.”
The boss took him out directly.
It’s too noisy here, so I might miss it. I have to find a quiet place and listen carefully.
Tan Shaoyang did not refuse. This place had no appeal to him. Both the place and the equipment were too rough and did not excite him at all.
After the two of them came to a quiet place, Tan Shaoyang gave him a blueprint for a two-story building, where one could see the scene below. Moreover, all kinds of lighting equipment were painted to be more advanced, and the stage was also improved. It can be said that it definitely cost a lot of money to toss it all together.
The boss was very excited and didn’t stop him at all. He gave him a thumbs up and praised him, “You have a very flexible mind!”
“In this way, I’m afraid all the business will be attracted here.”
Tan Shaoyang said: “I can only talk about it on paper. As for how to do it, you have to find someone!”
“Besides, the project is not small, so a lot of money has been invested!”
The two of them talked in detail until late at night.
In just one night, the boss admired him so much that he wanted to keep him as his right-hand man and not let him go.
But the other party looked frank and spoke very logically, and it was obvious that he was not someone who would stay.
Besides, he could make a lot of money just from the betel nut business, so why would he condescend to work for him?
Tan Shaoyang had no idea what his boss was planning, so he went back to the hotel and fell asleep straight away. It was quite tiring to have a boss who talked too much.
After waking up, I didn’t stay for long and left.
It only takes one or two days to make a trip, so if you miss the fishing boats’ return, you can still get some fresh fish to grill and eat. The fish from the deep sea area cannot be compared with those caught on the shore.
Now I can only feel regret and wait for the next trip.
When he returned to the town, unless there was a special situation, Tan Shaoyang would ride a bicycle. He would not be too ostentatious and would ride against the wind very freely.
As a result, Liu Xiang came as soon as I parked the car.
“Third brother, you are finally back. Yibei ran into some problems and wanted to ask you for help.”
Tan Shaoyang raised his eyebrows, looked at her anxious expression and asked, “What happened?”
Liu Xiang elaborated, “My brother-in-law’s parents died young, which made him unlucky. All his relatives avoided him.”
“Now that they are married and living a prosperous life, his family members think they can take advantage of him and keep coming to ask for money.”
“Especially my brother-in-law’s grandmother, who thought Yibei didn’t look like a good wife. She was lazy and ate all day, and even let the man grow the vegetables. She wanted to bully her, and said that it was worthless for her to give birth to a girl. She was so angry that she ran away with the baby.”
“You’re quite straightforward in helping my family solve the problem. Can this problem be solved? Otherwise, I’m afraid Yibei will be upset!”
“We grew up together, and I can’t bear to see her being wronged.”
Tan Shaoyang raised his eyebrows and rubbed her head soothingly, “Baby, every family has its own problems. This is Yibei’s family affair. You two have a close relationship, but it’s not right for us to interfere!”
“It all depends on her man’s thoughts. Is he sympathetic and stands by her side, sharing the same hatred with her, or is he on her side?”
“Different ideas, different solutions, cannot be compared.”
“If this happened in our family, you wouldn’t have to worry about it. The old lady is kind and the mother-in-law isn’t pushy. But it’s really not easy for us to interfere in other people’s families!”
“You’re his cousin and you can help him a little, but I’m just an outsider. If I get involved, I might get blamed and other rumors might spread.”
“Don’t underestimate the imagination of these women. They can make up stories about things that didn’t happen. If they spread bad words, you will be even more angry.”
“If you’re really worried about Yibei getting hurt, then go call Yishui. He’s your brother, so anything is fine.”
“I am an outsider after all. I can help you solve your problems. We are engaged and a family, but I have no right to interfere in other people’s affairs.”
Marriage is a matter between two families. Outsiders can only watch and cannot interfere no matter how anxious or angry they are.
Liu Xiang nodded, still looking depressed. “Yibei has a carefree personality. I’m really worried that she’ll suffer. If we hadn’t gotten married, it would have been fine. But now that we have a child, we can’t just get divorced so willfully!”
“Since Third Brother can’t intervene, can you ask my cousin to come over? Yibei is still at my house, and it’s not convenient for me to leave her behind to go find someone.”
Tan Shaoyang sighed, “At this time, I guess he’s gone to look for a tractor. I don’t even know which village he’s going to. It’s a bit hard to stop him.”
“Tell Yibei not to worry, let him wait for a while and see what his man’s attitude is. When your cousin comes back, I will go with him to solve it.”
“At least I won’t let others bully me.”
After Liu Xiang got the confirmation, she felt relieved.
He didn’t stay here for long and ran away in a hurry.
Tan Shaoyang shrugged. Seeing her anxious look, he couldn’t stop her, otherwise she would probably reach out her claws if she got anxious.
At this time, Chen Tao came to the Liu family in a hurry. He ran to the small fishing village, but didn’t see anyone. Then he remembered that the two sisters had a good relationship, so he ran to the Liu family again.
Zhang Yibei didn’t want to pay attention to him and turned his head away.
He reached out to hug the child, but she slapped him away.
In the end, it was only after Chen Tao’s clumsy coaxing that he managed to get the person to calm down.
We had lost our relationship a long time ago, and even signed a marriage agreement, but I was afraid that he would harm me. Now I see that he is living a happy life, and I want to disrupt it. How can that be possible?
It was because of solving this problem that we took one more day, otherwise we would have found her and her daughter long ago.
She didn’t dislike her even though she was a daughter, because she was as fair and tender as her daughter-in-law. She felt full of energy just by looking at the two of them.
Chen Tao looks mighty, and being a blacksmith requires a lot of strength. He has solid muscles, and if he really becomes strong, even his grandmother would be scared when she sees him.
Staring at him sternly, he sought help from his tribesmen and quickly resolved the matter.
After all, the letter of severance has been signed. No one took care of Chen Tao when he was young, and everyone avoided him like the evildoers. There is no reason for him to show filial piety now.
This storm was quickly quelled.
The couple became harmonious again.
Because this matter caused trouble for the Liu family, Chen Tao bought fish and meat, and also went to invite his father-in-law and mother-in-law to come over. Not only did he prepare a sumptuous dinner, he also repeatedly assured that he would not treat the mother and daughter badly.
It can be said that the atmosphere is good.
When Tan Shaoyang and Zhang Yishui came over to see this lively scene, they were confused. Didn’t they say that people who were bullied would be frowning? Why were they all smiling brightly? How could they look like they were being bullied?
At that time, the two looked at each other, and helplessness could be seen in their eyes.
She was afraid that it would melt if she held it in her hands, so she didn’t want to let her suffer any injustice.
Although she is a little older, older than both of them, she is caring, and this alone is enough.
Zhang Yibei is also a smart person. If she didn’t love her, she wouldn’t have married her so quickly. Since she is willing to marry her, it means that Chen Tao has his good points and is not completely useless.
Zhang Yishui said, “Look at the way your brother-in-law treats you. He doesn’t look like someone who would bully you. It’s good that you don’t bully others.”
Zhang Yibei frowned and argued unconvincedly, “I didn’t say he bullied me, it was his grandmother who bullied me. It’s a good thing they broke up, otherwise I would have been so angry that I would have died.”
“Why do you say that he is unlucky in marriage? That’s really vicious. Such people are wasting the air.”
Zhang Yishui was not happy to hear what she said and interrupted her, “Just be content. Meeting Chen Tao in this life is a blessing from your previous life. Don’t make trouble for yourself.”
“You scare people away, but no one can stand your eldest lady’s temper.”
“No matter how bad his family is, you can’t keep complaining here. It will make people feel unhappy. Just understand it in your heart. There is no need to tell everything to others.”
Zhang Yibei put her daughter in his arms, not willing to listen to his lecture, “Don’t blame me, hug your niece, learn now, so you won’t be so flustered when it’s your turn.”
When Zhang Yishui saw this punishment, he screamed and his hands became stiff, making everyone on the field laugh. Finally, he was rescued. They were afraid that he would not be able to hold on and would really fall.
Zhang Yibei laughed at him without any hesitation, “You are not as good as Chen Tao. My Chen Tao can do everything, but you are such a coward.”
“When my sister-in-law has a child, what will you do?”
Zhang Yishui shrugged, “I have a mother-in-law, what am I afraid of? Even if things don’t work out, my mother can still take over, and you can’t envy that.”
The brother and sister started quarreling again.
