Mayor Qiu had long regarded him as a living god. Hearing what he said, he was beyond grateful and thanked him in various ways.
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 said with an apologetic smile, "It's only natural. You can't let Mister do it for nothing. I don't know how much Mister wants to pay?"
This sentence made Ye Shaoyang into trouble. A mayor, the official said that he was not too big, and he said that he was not too small. He must have some money. If Ye Shaoyang asked for hundreds of thousands in the present age, he should be able to afford it. , but this is the Republic of China, Ye Shaoyang has been here for a few days, and he roughly knows the value of the currency at this time, but he still lacks some specific concepts. Simply put, he doesn't know how much money a mayor's family should have.
So Ye Shaoyang looked towards Cuiyun for help.
Cuiyun was eating a fruit candy, chewing it with relish, seeing Ye Shaoyang looking at her, she didn't know what it meant, so 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 also a real person, let me tell you the truth, I am going to Jiangxi, but now I have no money, you give me a sum of money, enough for me To be able to walk there, of course, the road will not be windy and desolate."
Mayor Qiu was already ready to open his mouth like a lion. After hearing what Ye Shaoyang said, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, gave Ye Shaoyang a grateful look, and said, "Mr. I'll give you four small yellow croakers..." After finishing speaking, he called a butler and asked him to fetch them.
Ye Shaoyang heard what he said before, and felt that he would not treat him badly. Finally, when he heard "four little yellow croakers", he was stunned on the spot, and even thought he heard it wrong. Looking at Mayor Qiu, he murmured: "Four little yellow croakers, I said Brother, I’ve heard of using things as money, if you really have no money, you can give me some food to exchange for money, you’re giving me four fish, are you kidding me?”
Mayor Qiu was still in a daze, and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Just then, the housekeeper came and put the so-called four small yellow croakers on the table.
Ye Shaoyang took a look and was stunned. This is not a fish, it is clearly a gold bar! Immediately, he understood without a teacher: Little yellow croaker, he is talking about gold bars! Because it is yellow and long
Immediately he smiled awkwardly, and said to Mayor Qiu: "The mayor is so funny, he said that the gold bar is a fish, and I thought it was a real fish."
Mayor Qiu grinned, full of depression, thinking that calling gold bars "yellow croaker" was not invented by himself. Everyone knows, but they don't know why Ye Shaoyang said that.
Seeing the four small yellow croakers, Cuiyun couldn't help getting excited, pursed her lips and smiled at Ye Shaoyang, and said, "Shaoyang, let alone Jiangxi this time, you can even go to Guangxi."
Ye Shaoyang didn't know the price of gold bars, but she did. According to the currency at that time, a small yellow croaker could be exchanged for about three hundred yuan, and a house as big as the mayor Qiu's lived in this small place cost less than one hundred yuan at most. block ocean.
In other words, if Ye Shaoyang doesn't leave, he can buy a big house, use the remaining money to buy dozens of acres of land, and then start a small business. As long as the current situation remains unchanged, he can basically live comfortably for a lifetime.
It was Ye Shaoyang's first time touching gold bars, he played with them for a while, put one in his pocket, and handed the remaining three to Cuiyun.
Cuiyun was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "It's so precious, you keep it for yourself, I'm afraid you might lose it."
Ye Shaoyang said: "It's not for you to let it go, it's for you."
Cuiyun was dumbfounded. Mayor Qiu was also dumbfounded.
After a while, Cuiyun came back to her senses, stood up abruptly, waved her hands and said, "You can't do it! This is what you earned. If you really love my sister, you can throw a few dozen yuan to her before you leave. That's so much money." Qian... Shaoyang, your brain is bad!"
Ye Shaoyang said: "I have a good brain. This money should be regarded as food money. That's it. You take it first. Don't push it around. It makes people laugh."
Stuffing the three small yellow croakers into Cuiyun's pocket, Cuiyun glanced at Mayor Qiu, but could only hold back for a while, and looked at Ye Shaoyang with a complex expression.
Ye Shaoyang felt nothing, not because he didn't know the value of gold bars, but only a little, the kindness of a drop of water, the fountain will repay. Cuiyun saved her own life, and took care of herself these days, not to mention these little yellow croakers, even if there were ten times more, Ye Shaoyang didn't blink.
Mayor Qiu slapped the table vigorously and gave Ye Shaoyang a thumbs up. "Mr. Ye is such a good man! Mr. Qiu is extremely admired. Don't worry, Mr. Ye. Your cousin is a resident under my rule, and she will do her best to take care of her in the future. There is nothing to say!"
Ye Shaoyang thanked him and said, "I want one more thing."
Upon hearing this, Cuiyun hurriedly said: "Shaoyang, enough 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 me this thing?"
Mayor Qiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "This is a new gadget I bought when I came back from Beijing. It's not worth much, but we don't have it in our small place. Mr. Ye likes it, so take it."
"Thank you." Ye Shaoyang handed the music box to Cuiyun, and said with a smile, "I told you I would give you one."
Cuiyun stared at him blankly, filled with various emotions in his heart, and from this moment on, his impression of Ye Shaoyang completely changed, and he believed that he was not an ordinary person, different from all the people she had known in the past!
After drinking tea, Ye Shaoyang began to make a ghost hunting plan with Mayor Qiu.
"After she leaves, within three days, she will definitely come back to inquire about the news, or change her plan, and come to kill Alan, so as not to have a long night and dreams... Don't worry, I will arrange it, and it will be no problem to catch her. You prepare some things for me first. , the most important thing is to find seven lights, preferably a large flashlight, which can be very bright in an instant... "
Ye Shaoyang just talked there, and when he finished speaking, he looked up, Mayor Qiu and Cuiyun looked confused, and immediately frowned, "It's not hard to find what I'm talking about, is there a problem?"
Mayor Qiu murmured, "Everything else is easy. It's the kind of lamp you mentioned... I didn't say that there is such a lamp in the world?"
Ye Shaoyang was stunned. "Large spotlights, you can buy them."
"Where are you going?" Mayor Qiu was still shocked, "Well, what is the spotlight?"
Ye Shaoyang understood in an instant, and slapped his forehead hard. Damn it, he was confused for a while, this is the Republic of China! This small town probably doesn't even have electricity. Where did you get the flashlight
