Chapter 2018 Chapter 2018 Little Yellow Croaker 2
Mayor Qiu had long regarded him as a living god. After hearing what he said, he was so grateful that he thanked him all kinds of people.
Ye Shaoyang took a sip of tea slowly and said, "But I can't help you for nothing."
When Mayor Qiu heard this, he immediately understood and smiled and said, "This is natural. You can't let the teacher take action in vain. I wonder how much compensation is required for the teacher?"
This sentence made Ye Shaoyang difficult. A mayor, who said it was big or small, must have some money. If Ye Shaoyang asked for hundreds of thousands of dollars in contemporary times, he would have been able to afford it. However, this was the Republic of China. Ye Shaoyang had been here for a few days and had roughly known the value of the currency at this time, but there was still a lack of some specific concepts. Simply put, he did not know how much money a mayor should have at home.
So Ye Shaoyang looked at Cuiyun for help.
Cuiyun was eating a fruit candy and chewed it with relish. When she saw Ye Shaoyang looking at her, she didn't know what it meant, she smiled embarrassedly, peeled one for him, and said, "It's delicious, Shaoyang, you can eat one too."
Ye Shaoyang was speechless, thought for a while, and said to Mayor Qiu: "I think you are really a human being, let me tell you the truth. I want to go to Jiangxi, but now I am penniless. Give me some money to be enough for me to get there. Of course, I won't sleep in the open on the road."
Mayor Qiu was already ready to speak loudly. After hearing what Ye Shaoyang said, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Ye Shaoyang gratefully and said, "Mr. Ye is so passionate, I, Qiu, are definitely not stingy. I will give you four small yellow croakers..." After that, he called a housekeeper and asked him to take it over.
Ye Shaoyang heard what he said before, thinking that he would not treat him badly. Finally, he heard the "Four Little Yellow Crocus", and was confused on the spot. He even thought he had heard it wrong. He looked at Mayor Qiu and murmured: "Four Little Yellow Crocus, I said, "Brother, I have heard of using things as money. If you really have no money, it's okay to give me some food to exchange for money. You're giving me four fish, are you teasing me?"
Mayor Qiu was even more confused than him, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. At this time, the housekeeper came and placed the so-called four small yellow croakers on the table.
Ye Shaoyang took a look and was stunned. This was not a fish, it was clearly a gold bar! He immediately understood without any instruction: the little yellow croaker is talking about gold bars! Because it is a long yellow color?
He smiled embarrassedly and said to Mayor Qiu: "Master, I am so funny. I said the gold bars were like fish, but I thought it was a real fish."
Mayor Qiu grinned, feeling depressed, thinking that the saying that the gold bar was called "yellow croaker" was not invented by himself. Everyone knows it, but I don't know why Ye Shaoyang said that.
Cuiyun couldn't help but get excited when she saw four small yellow croakers. She smiled at Ye Shaoyang with a pursed lips and said, "Shaoyang, let alone Jiangxi this time, she can go even Guangxi."
Ye Shaoyang didn't know the price of gold bars, she knew that according to the currency at that time, a small yellow croaker could be exchanged for about 300 yuan in the ocean, and a house as big as the mayor of Qiu Zhen lived in this small place would cost less than 100 yuan in the maximum.
In other words, if Ye Shaoyang didn't leave, he could buy a big house, buy dozens of acres of land with the remaining money, and then do a small business. As long as the situation remains unchanged, he can basically have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
This was the first time Ye Shaoyang had touched the gold bar. He played with it in his hand for a while, put one into his pocket, and handed the remaining three to Cui Yun.
Cui Yun was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said, "It's so expensive, you can keep it yourself, I'm afraid I'll lose it for you."
Ye Shaoyang said: "It's not for you to leave, it's for you."
Cuiyun was confused as he was accomplished. Mayor Qiu was also confused.
After a while, Cuiyun came to her senses, stood up suddenly, and said with both hands: "You can't do it! This is what you earn. If you really feel sorry for your sister, just throw dozens of dollars to her before leaving. There is so much money... Shaoyang, you are in a bad mind!"
Ye Shaoyang said: "My head is very good. Just treat this money as food. OK, you can take it first, don't push it around, it will make people laugh."
After stuffing three small yellow croakers into Cuiyun's pocket, Cuiyun glanced at Mayor Qiu, and had to bear it for the time being. His eyes looked at Ye Shaoyang were filled with a complex expression.
Ye Shaoyang felt that it was nothing, not because he didn't know the value of the gold bar, but only a little bit of the kindness of the water, and he could repay the spring. Cuiyun saved his life and took care of himself these days. Not to mention these little yellow croakers, even if there were ten times more, Ye Shaoyang would not blink.
Mayor Qiu slapped the table hard and gave Ye Shaoyang a thumbs up. "Mr. Ye is such a good man! Qiu admires him very much. Don't worry, Mr. Ye, your cousin is a resident under my rule. He will take care of him as his best efforts, and he has no choice but to say!"
Ye Shaoyang thanked him and said, "I want another thing."
When Cui Yun heard this, he hurriedly said, "Shaoyang, there is enough!"
Mayor Qiu also felt a little puzzled.
Ye Shaoyang picked up the music box of the quartz clock from the table and said, "Can you give this thing to me?"
Mayor Qiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "This is the novel thing I bought when I came back from Beijing. It is not valuable. It's just that we don't have one in small places. Mr. Ye likes it, just take it."
"I'll thank you." Ye Shaoyang handed the music box to Cuiyun and smiled and said, "I said I'll give you one."
Cuiyun looked at him blankly, with various emotions in her heart. It was also from this moment that his impression of Ye Shaoyang completely changed. He believed that he was not an ordinary person, and he was different from all the people she knew in the past!
After drinking the tea, Ye Shaoyang began to formulate a plan to catch ghosts with Mayor Qiu.
"After she leaves, she will definitely come back to find out the news within these three days, or change her plan, come and kill Alan, so as not to have too many dreams... Don't worry, I'll arrange it, it's definitely okay to capture her. You can prepare some things for me first. The most important thing is to find seven lamps, preferably a large flashlight, which can be very bright in an instant..."
Ye Shaoyang was just talking there. After he finished speaking, he looked up and Mayor Qiu and Cuiyun were confused and frowned, "The things I said are not very difficult to find, are there any problems?"
Mayor Qiu snorted, "Everything else is easy to deal with, it's the kind of lamp you mentioned... Didn't I say that there are such lamps in the world?"
Ye Shaoyang was stunned. "Large spotlights can be bought."
"Where are you going?" Mayor Qiu was even more shocked than him. "Well, what is the spotlight?"
Ye Shaoyang immediately understood and slapped his forehead hard. Mom, he was confused for a while. This is the Republic of China! This town probably doesn’t even have electricity, so where did the flashlight come from?
