When Coyotito regained consciousness again, he was already sitting on a wooden table in the middle of the yard. Seeing that the food on the small table in front of him had been swept away, he held his bulging belly with one hand and hit it.
He burped, and immediately covered his mouth in panic. While looking at Shi Jiang, his dark face couldn't help but blush.
Shi Jiang couldn't see the blushing look on Xiaozizi's face, but he didn't expect that he had cooked so much rice. He thought it was a lot, but he didn't expect that Xiaozizi's appetite was so big.
Not only was the meal turned upside down, but even the soup in the vegetable bowl was scraped clean.
Although there was nothing visible on his face, his belly was so bulging that Shi Jiang was a little worried about whether he would be full.
Thinking of this, I secretly decided that I would definitely not cook so much next time.
It doesn't matter if you eat as much as you want, but don't eat it to death.
As for breakfast, let’s cook it again tomorrow!
Seeing Shi Jiang's eyes, Xiao Xiaozi consciously put away the dishes on the small table, went to the water tank, and washed the pots and pans.
However, I ate so much that my stomach was pressed when I squatted down, and I felt like I couldn't help but feel something coming out of my throat.
Seeing that Coyotito was so self-conscious, Shi Jiang didn't say much. He boiled hot water from the kitchen, took a shower, and went to his room to sleep.
Early the next morning, Shi Jiang went to the brigade headquarters again to find the brigade leader.
When he saw Shi Jiang for the first time, the captain couldn't help but pause, feeling a little worried.
Could this little girl have spent all her pension and come to the village for help?
Thinking that this little girl had to go out half the time yesterday before she even got her pension, the captain got a headache.
"Captain, are you free now?"
When the captain saw Shi Jiang asking him questions so shyly and cautiously, although he was soft-hearted, he still had a hard face and was not prepared to agree to Shi Jiang's unreasonable request.
"What's the matter? I have to send the seafood that the village just brought in this morning to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county! If nothing happens, just wait until I come back."
The captain was afraid that he would be soft-hearted, so he resorted to dragging his feet.
"Captain, the seafood in our village is sold to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the price seems to be very low, right?"
When Shi Jiang saw the captain placing baskets full of seafood on his 28th pole, he chatted directly with the captain.
When the captain saw him, Jiang didn't make any request, he just chatted with himself, and didn't think much about it. He thought of the overseas goods delivered to the supply and marketing cooperative a few days ago, which were carefully selected and the prices were lowered, and he couldn't help but sigh.
He said helplessly.
"Yeah, who told us that the things we have on the beach are worthless! Going door to door, anyone can buy some."
"Captain, you also said that this is not valuable at our beach, but what if it is not at the beach? Wouldn't it be quite valuable?"
Shi Jiang stepped forward and diligently helped the captain tie the two large baskets with ropes, and said while tying them.
After the captain heard this, his hand that was tying the rope suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but think about what Shi Jiang said.
Yes, they are on the seaside, so the seafood is not valuable, but what about places that are not on the seaside?
The local specialties that Comrade Lao Wang’s mother-in-law sent her before are now very valuable here.
"Uncle, I heard that there are many people from outside the county who come here to collect seafood. Of course, there must be more in the city. I don't know, if we can get in touch with people, we can directly buy these seafood from the village.
Will giving it to those dealers help the village earn more pocket money?"
Shi Jiang said to the captain with a look of emotion and envy.
I have to say that at this moment, the captain's heart was shamefully moved.
Yes, if it can be sold to dealers who collect imported goods, the price will be much higher than the price offered by the supply and marketing cooperative.
In the village, you can also earn a little more money.
However, a basin of cold water soon woke him up.
"That's easy to say. How come there are so many people from other places collecting overseas goods?"
The brigade leader snorted coldly, kicked the bicycle rack away, then held the faucet with both hands and pulled the bike out from the brigade headquarters.
"Uncle, if I can find someone who collects seafood and sells the seafood in our village, can you give me ten acres of the tidal flat in front of our village? It won't be in vain for me to spend the money with you.
Can I rent it in the village?"
Shi Jiang knew that eating in one breath would not make him fat, so he had to plan step by step.
Set a small goal first, complete it, and then move on to the next step.
When the captain heard the previous sentence, he almost laughed out loud. After hearing Jiang's request, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Rent the beach in front of the village?
The tidal flat is public, and anyone can pick up shells and other things.
If Shi Jiang had to spend money to rent it, he would be at a bit of a disadvantage!
"You want to rent the tidal flat?"
The brigade leader had already pulled his bicycle out of the brigade headquarters, but instead of getting on the bike and riding away, he stopped and confirmed with Shi Jiang again.
"Yes, if I can't find someone to collect our village's seafood, uncle, I'll just pretend I didn't mention this request. But if I find someone to collect our village's seafood, I will have to agree to my request. Uncle.
, just say, okay?"
The captain saw Shi Jiang looking childish yet confident. He had never seen Shi Jiang like this before.
After all, in the impression of everyone in the village, Shi Jiang had always lowered his head, being timid and shy and not daring to look at people.
Jiang's changes in the past two days surprised the captain.
However, it's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change its nature. I don't know what will happen in the future!
Therefore, the captain calmed down a bit and replied with a smile.
"Okay, you go look for it. If you really find a dealer who has been buying our seafood for a long time, tell me if you want the piece of tidal flat, and I will guarantee that the village will rent it to you."
After saying that, he directly stepped on the pedal of the bicycle with one foot, tapped the ground with the other foot several times, then lifted his foot to get on the bicycle, and the bicycle quickly rode towards the road to the entrance of the village.
After getting the captain's promise, Shi Jiang turned back to his yard with satisfaction.
Since I agreed to the captain's request, it seems that I have to go to the county town today.
However, this time, Shi Jiang did not bring Coyotito with him.
Moreover, when I returned to the yard, Coyotito was not there either.
It was the key to the yard that was locked, and it was pressed into a corner wall hole where she had placed it yesterday.
Shi Jiang thought for a while, but didn't touch the key. He turned around and left the village, heading straight to the shop owned by the boss from yesterday in the county town.
"What are you talking about? Collecting seafood from your village?"
The owner of the clothing store stared at the little girl in front of him.
Shi Jiang nodded, thought for a while, then took out a round pearl as big as a little finger from his pocket and placed it in front of the boss.
"As long as we collect seafood from our village, I can guarantee that starting next year, our village will be able to provide your cousin with pearls of similar quality to this one."
