Actually, this price excludes Fu San's profit. Fu San heard from Boss Fu that this time it was cash, so he specially withdrew the money and brought it over to them.
"The total cost of this seafood was 4,582 yuan. I heard from my older brother that you wanted 5,000 yuan, so I took a few hundred yuan more."
Fu San opened his cloth bag and then took out several stacks of ten-yuan notes.
Fu Wan nodded. At this time, the largest denomination banknote was ten yuan, which is what everyone calls the "Great Unity".
Five thousand yuan, a full five hundred bills, and Fu San actually brought them over in a cloth bag.
However, Fu San wiped the sweat from his forehead. He dealt with money and fish all day long, and he had never brought back so much cash at once.
So it would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid along the way.
Fortunately, his tattered clothes prevented him from attracting the attention of the bad guys.
"Okay, Third Uncle, I'll leave this to you."
Fu Wan thanked him, but Fu San waved his hand without asking what Fu Wan was going to do with the money. He only warned her, "You have to keep this money safe, or someone might target it."
Fu Qiang escaped, but there's still Fu Da Lai Zi in the village with a criminal record.
It was only when this was mentioned that Fu Wan remembered that such a person existed.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I'll divide the money up in a bit."
Fu San was relieved, but then he realized that Fu Wan wanted the money because she wanted to pay her salary.
He was somewhat incredulous. "Ah Wan, you pay Ah Liang and the others by the thousand?"
Fu Wan nodded, "That's right, it's been two months since I've shared any money with my aunt and the others. It just so happens that Brother Liang's wedding is coming up soon, so it's good for me to share the money."
Upon hearing this, Fu San was filled with envy. "To be honest, if it weren't for your third uncle having a purchasing station, I would definitely be working for you!"
"How about Uncle sells this recycling station to me?"
Fu Wan made a joke, but Fu San waved his hands repeatedly, "No way, I can't bear to part with this purchasing station!"
However, seeing how kind Fu Wan was to Fu Liang and the others, Fu San was also happy. In fact, Fu Wan and the others contributed a large part of his family's income, so he sometimes sighed that he was lucky.
When I was young, I could make a living by following Boss Fu. Now that I'm older, I can get rich by following Fu Wan.
This illustrates the importance of following the right person. There are probably only a handful of people in the entire country as straightforward and generous as Fu Wan.
There was still a lot to do at the purchasing station. Even though Ye Xiaocui had already cooked the meat, Fu San had to postpone his meal and hurry home.
After finishing her work in the kitchen, Ye Xiaocui turned around and went into the house to get spices. When she turned around, she saw a table full of large denomination bills on the dining table.
"My God, Wan, how come there's so much money here?"
"Did Fu San just bring it over?"
Fu Wan nodded, "Yes, Mother, I was thinking that two months have passed, so it's a good time to give everyone their wages."
Ye Xiaocui wiped her hands, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Does it cost this much money to get paid?"
Looking at the table, Ye Xiaocui couldn't even count how much money was on it.
“I plan to give 1,000 yuan each to A-liang and Aunt Chunlan, and 1,000 yuan to Brother A-lin as well. The remaining 2,000 yuan will be used at home.”
"We don't need that much money at home. You should save it instead!"
Ye Xiaocui hurriedly refused. The food at home was all bought by Fu Wan from the supply and marketing cooperative last time, and the vegetables were all from their own garden and caught at sea.
I only occasionally go to Dazhuang's to buy some pork, usually only two or three yuan a time. A hundred yuan is enough for the family to eat for several months.
"Mom, take this two thousand to Uncle's house, and after delivering the gift money, go to the county town to buy you and Dad two sets of clothes."
"What clothes do you need to spend two thousand on? Save it quickly. At most, a hundred or two at home will be enough."
Fu Wan was helpless; she couldn't spend the money.
"Alright then, we'll talk about it when Dad and the others get back."
As she said this, Ye Xiaocui didn't object, but then suddenly remembered that the meat was still in the pot, so she hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
At noon, it was just the four of them eating. After the braised pork and abalone were cooked, Ye Xiaocui didn't forget to fry some green peppers to go with the rice.
"Awan, take this braised pork to Aliang's house."
Ye Xiaocui kept muttering to herself as she worked.
The meat was delivered by the village chief, and A-Liang also deserves credit for saving Liu Dazhi, so his family couldn't possibly eat it all.
Fu Wan agreed and took an aluminum lunchbox to put a bowl in it.
I bought this thing last time when I was packing beef at a state-run restaurant; it's perfect for holding braised pork.
And it also has a cover, which can prevent people from seeing and talking about it along the way.
When Fu Wan arrived at Jiang Chunlan's house, Jiang Chunlan was busy in the kitchen.
The mother and son ate a simple meal; they didn't even steam rice, just made two pancakes, a stew of potatoes and sliced meat, and a bowl of wild vegetables.
Upon seeing Fu Wan arrive, Jiang Chunlan hurriedly invited her to eat.
"Ah Wan, come and sit down quickly."
Fu Wan waved her hand and placed the lunchbox on the table.
"Auntie, Brother Liang, this is the meat that the village chief brought yesterday. My mother cooked it for lunch today and specially asked me to bring a bowl over."
Jiang Chunlan didn't refuse, mainly because Fu Wan opened the lid and the smell was too overpowering.
"Did your mother put abalone in here?"
Jiang Chunlan was shocked; how could her old friend be so willing to part with her like this?
Fu Liang picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and took a bite without fear of burning himself, saying, "This is obviously A-Wan's doing."
Fu Wan chuckled, then pulled out several tightly bound bundles of 100-yuan bills from her pocket.
Upon seeing this, Fu Liang jumped to his feet. "Awan, what are you doing?"
Why are they also giving away money when they're just delivering vegetables?
"Brother Liang, Auntie, this is the wages and bonus I received for the past two months. My mother said that Brother Liang's good fortune is coming soon, so I'm bringing it over."
"This is too much. A hundred yuan would be enough!"
Jiang Chunlan quickly refused, good heavens, she couldn't even estimate how much money was in there.
"Don't say anything more. Just keep it safe. Brother Liang will need to prepare a dowry and also be able to ask the village chief to build a house."
"By the way, Brother Liang, have you thought about the boat yet?"
Upon hearing Fu Wan's question, Fu Liang reflexively replied, "I've thought it over. I'll go to the village chief tonight to get the money to buy a boat."
Fu Wan nodded in satisfaction and pushed the money towards him. "This is just what I needed. Alright, I have to go back for dinner. After dinner, let's go beachcombing early."
Brother Liang, don't forget to borrow the bike; your auntie will be riding on it.
"Don't worry, I've already gone to borrow it."
After Fu Liang finished speaking, Fu Wan went home reassured. Jiang Chunlan, however, couldn't eat her meal and went to count the amount of money.
Good heavens, it's a whole two thousand yuan!
This terrified Jiang Chunlan.
"Ah Liang, this is way too much money!"
Fu Liang thought for a moment and replied, "Mother, let's keep what A-Wan brings. This should be our wages."
I'll talk to Awan later and ask her not to give me any dividends for the New Year.
