When Ye Zhiqiu came out to the yard, Wang Xiaolan pulled him aside and said, "Son, why did you bring back so many shrimps? Just keep some for dinner, and send the rest to the factory to sell for money!"
Ye Zhiqiu was a little amused and pointed at the remaining shrimp. "Look at these little shrimps, Mom! Will the factory accept them? They won't sell for much! We should dry the leftovers into dried shrimps and occasionally add some to dishes. That way, the second and third children will grow better!"
Wang Xiaolan was still a little reluctant. In her opinion, leaving about a pound would be enough for her to eat, so she muttered, "After giving it away, you still have four or five pounds left... You're such a spendthrift..."
Ye Zhiqiu could only use his ultimate move! "Okay, okay, okay, I'll sell it. Don't ask me for money tonight. I won't give you a penny of the money I earned today. Please keep it for me."
He went to pick up the remaining shrimp, but Wang Xiaolan was like a furious cat. She quickly stopped Ye Zhiqiu and said with a wry smile, "That's not what Mom meant. Just keep them all! It's your money anyway, you can spend it however you want... Just son... how much did you earn today?"
Ye Zhiqiu knew this would happen. He smiled smugly and said, "Hey, I won't tell you. I'll let you nag about it and make you feel itchy all day long!"
After saying that, he swiftly picked up three small bags filled with shrimps and dodged Wang Xiaolan's slap by moving sideways!
Wang Xiaolan laughed angrily, "You bastard! How could you bully your own mother like that?"
"Hey, you've already touched it, haven't you? I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I'm going to deliver the shrimp to the boss first!"
Liu Cuihua watched Ye Zhiqiu leave with his bicycle and smiled comfortingly, "Sister Lan, we've all heard that girls change a lot when they grow up, but I didn't expect boys to change a lot too! This little Zhiqiu has become so cheerful, working and taking care of his family. What else is there to be unhappy about?"
Wang Xiaolan sighed, "Why should I be unhappy? He's just a little extravagant! But I can't control him now. A grown-up son is no longer under his mother's control!"
"That's right. He's grown up and has his own ideas. I can't control him like before. When I find you a daughter-in-law in the next two years, you'll be able to hold your grandchildren. Just think about how wonderful those days will be!"
"My sister is right, but I don't know when he'll find a girlfriend. Every time I bring up this, he changes the subject..."
Ye Zhiqiu had no idea that his cheap mother and Liu Cuihua were worried about his marriage!
He returned to the factory safely and delivered the shrimp to Liao Yegu and Chen Yimin. They both chose to send the shrimp to the kitchen for processing. They could then take them home that night and reheat them for later consumption, without having to worry about the shrimp becoming rancid after being dead for too long.
Ye Zhiqiu knocked on Wu Shengli's office door, waking him up from his nap.
"Who is it? Come in!"
Hearing this voice, Ye Zhiqiu knew that Wu Shengli must be in a bad mood at the moment! He was probably in a bad mood because he had disturbed his lunch break, so he would not be in a good mood.
So he quickly forced a smile and pretended to be excited, hoping to dispel his bad mood with the harvest.
"Boss, great news! I thought there were only 5,000 kilograms of fish this time, but I didn't expect it to be a full 5,830 kilograms! I was thinking I should notify you quickly so you can preside over the storage!"
As expected, after hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, Wu Shengli, who had been holding a stern face, even forgot about the fact that Ye Zhiqiu had tricked him yesterday.
He asked happily, "Are they big fish or small ones? Can everyone in the factory get one?"
Ye Zhiqiu first put the bag on the ground and placed the receipt on the table. He then grinned and explained, "Leader, there are not many big shrimps in this fish pond. I specially picked out a few kilograms of large ones for you. Even Secretary Liao and Director Chen don't have as many big shrimps as you!"
The fish have been weighed, but we haven't yet counted them. They're currently being weighed and sorted at the warehouse, and I'll definitely have a detailed list for you later.
But I think you should think about whether to send the shrimp home or what to do with it. It's so hot out here, and if you leave it out overnight, it might get smelly."
Wu Shengli nodded, picked up the receipt, saw the weight and price, as well as the signatures and seals of Liao Yegu and Chen Yimin. He also signed his name and stamped it.
He pushed the receipt aside and asked with a smile, "How did Lao Liao and Lao Chen deal with these shrimps?"
Ye Zhiqiu first put away the receipt, and then said to Wu Shengli: "Boss, it seems that they have taken it to the kitchen for processing. You can take it back and eat it in the evening. You don't have to worry about the shrimp changing its taste."
Wu Shengli smiled and said, "Hey, why didn't I think of this? I'll go over there quickly so that the chef doesn't have to prepare the ingredients several times. I can also show them that our people still respect me!"
Hearing Wu Shengli's words, Ye Zhiqiu secretly said in his heart, "Oh no! Director Wu is so proud. If he finds out that the shrimps he sent are all the same, isn't he afraid of getting humiliated?"
Ye Zhiqiu said goodbye hastily. It was noon now, so there was no need for a pass! He hurried to the finance department. Although it was lunchtime, with such a large sum of money to spend, there was no reason for them to refuse to work overtime.
After receiving 2,623.5 yuan, Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly left the factory on his bicycle.
Just as Ye Zhiqiu was leaving, Wu Shengli, holding the bag, proudly said to the two people in the kitchen who were waiting for the chef to cook the shrimp: "Lao Liao, Lao Chen, did you see that? Xiao Ye is a soldier under my command, and the shrimp he gave me as a gift is more than you!
Are you envious? Oh, there's no point in being envious, because I, Wu Shengli, am always supported by my subordinates!"
Liao Yegu and Chen Yimin looked at each other in bewilderment, because their shrimps were about the same size. And looking at the bag in Wu Shengli's hand, there was no difference either!
At this time, Chef Luo brought out the two people's braised shrimps. He smiled and said to them, "Secretary, Director, your shrimps are all about the same weight, and they are all large. I might as well fry them together and you can each take half."
Looking at the huge basin of shrimp, Wu Shengli fell silent. He handed the bag to Chef Luo and asked in a muffled voice, "Old Luo, are there fewer shrimps in my bag than in theirs?"
Chef Luo took it and weighed it. He exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, this guy is really good at weighing things! They're all exactly three pounds. Shrimp come in all sizes, so a little more or less is normal. But the shrimp you brought here, leaders, I've been practicing for decades, and they're definitely all three pounds!"
Wu Shengli's face darkened as he cursed, "That brat is playing tricks on me again, saying he prepared the most shrimp for me! When he comes back to the factory, I'm going to beat this little bastard up!"
Chen Yimin quickly advised, "Old Wu, calm down! Xiaoye is not your son. Why are you hitting him?"
Liao Yegu jokingly said, "Old Wu, your eldest daughter looks like she's sixteen, right? Why don't you give her to Xiao Ye? Isn't it natural for a father-in-law to beat his son-in-law?"
"Bah! Is this little bastard like him worthy of me? How about I adopt him as my godfather? I won't be able to calm down unless I give him a beating..."
At this time, in the yard, Wang Xiaolan, who was working with bamboo strips, sneezed and muttered, "Who said something bad about me?"
