Chapter 274 Being Followed

In addition, when they saw the group of sea ducks flying into the woods, the three of them still chased after them even though they were carrying such heavy seafood.

However, no sea ducks were caught.

We did find quite a few sea duck eggs.

Chu Xuan and the other two all carried cloth bags, each containing more than twenty pills.

Return with a full load.

On the way home, Chu Xuan proposed to exchange backpacks with Fu Qing, but Fu Qing firmly disagreed and walked very fast.

Chu Xuan couldn't catch up at all.

After arriving home, I learned from Mu Chenze that he had already agreed with Grandpa Wang that the village patrol would not go to the yard where the bread was baked tonight.

Mu Qinlao, who had been at home all the time, only collected more than sixty king clams.

At around 2:30 in the afternoon, Lin Yong's truck stopped in front of the Mu family's door, and the Mu family loaded king clams, large mackerel and other fish onto the truck.

After the delivery truck left, Chu Xuanmu rode his bike to his mother's yard to continue making meat floss.

The meat floss can be stored, and I plan to make more.

At this moment, at the dock, Chu Zhi was chatting with Li Tong while leaning on a cane.

"Boss Li, why were you so polite to Mu Chenze when you met him just now? He buys high-end seafood from the owners of distant-water fishing boats. Isn't this stealing your business?"

Li Tong looked Chu Zhi up and down. He was dressed respectably, but what he said was not very good.

"There are so many people buying high-end fish from the docks! It's not just Mu Chenze. This isn't called stealing business. Buying high-end seafood requires a lot of investment and is high-risk. The fact that he can do this shows that he has the ability. Don't you, Chu Zhi, have money? If you're greedy, you can do this too."

Chu Zhi snapped his fingers and said, "Don't tell me, I really have this idea."

Leaning on a cane, he walked towards the ocean-going fishing boat docked at the pier.

Li Tong muttered quietly, "It's not that easy to deliver high-end goods to the city. Be careful or you'll lose everything."

The sound was blown away by the sea breeze and Chu Zhi did not hear it.

Chu Zhi currently has two thousand yuan in his hand and really wants to make money from it.

Seeing many fishmongers negotiating with the owners of ocean-going fishing vessels about how much seafood to purchase, Chu Zhi became more certain that this was a way to make money.

He remembered that Mu Chenze collected sea cucumbers and abalone, so he would never go wrong if he followed his example.

"Boss! Give me two thousand dollars worth of abalone and sea cucumber!"

He took out two thick stacks of money from his pocket.

No bargaining, just hand over the money and receive the goods.

Buckets of abalone and sea cucumbers were placed on the dock, and Chu Zhi realized that he had forgotten to contact the truck in advance.

There are no trucks near the dock.

You can only wait or go to the village office to call the truck.

Chu Zhi has difficulty walking and wants to ask someone to help him make a phone call.

Looking around the dock, I was only familiar with Li Tong.

So he walked over to Li Tong's stall and said, "Boss Li, could you please call a truck for me?"

Li Tong pointed to his stall and said, "I have a lot of goods here. I have to look after them. Besides, there will be a fishing boat coming ashore soon. I have to collect the fish. I don't have time to call a taxi for you."

Chu Zhi took out five dollars and said, "I can pay you for running errands."

"Even money won't work. Find someone else!"

Facing Li Tong's refusal, Chu Zhi's face darkened. "I don't believe that no one will help me make the call!"

Turn and walk towards the others.

Xun Ren's wife, Ren Meihua, happened to be coming over with some fish she had caught at sea to sell. Chu Zhi stopped her and said, "Go to the village office and call a truck for me. I'll pay you for your errand."

Ren Meihua glanced down at the bucket of fish in her hand and said, "I don't want any errand fees. As long as you accept this bucket of fish for ten dollars, I will help you call a truck."

Chu Zhi felt a little pained, "This bucket of fish you have is cheap, worth three dollars at most, I'll give you five dollars!"

"That won't work. Don't forget that my husband has the contact information of many truck drivers. If it were someone else, even if they agreed to make the call for you, they wouldn't know the truck driver's contact information."

Ren Meihua was about to go to Li Tong's stall with the bucket, but Chu Zhi quickly stopped her. "Alright then! I'll give you ten dollars! But you have to leave the bucket with me first. I'll go to the city and sell all my fish and then I'll give it back to you when I come back."

"No problem!" Ren Meihua took the ten dollars from him, left the bucket of fish, and turned to leave.

Chu Zhi gave Li Tong a provocative smile, "If you don't earn the errand fee, someone else will!"

Li Tong was not angry, nor did he pay any attention to him.

Chu Zhi waited and waited for more than an hour, and finally Ren Meihua came back.

"Ren Meihua, why did you take so long to call?"

Ren Meihua panted, "I couldn't reach them by phone, so I borrowed a bicycle and went to town and the county seat to look for a truck. I couldn't find a single one. I've done my best, you figure it out yourself!"

Turn around and leave.

Chu Zhi couldn't catch up with him on crutches, and shouted, "You didn't do it well, give me back my money!"

Ren Meihua didn't stop walking. "You wish! That ten yuan is from selling my fish, not errand money! I'm lucky I didn't ask you for it!"

Going further and further.

Chu Zhi chased for a distance and had to give up.

When he returned to his goods, he found that more than half of the abalone in one bucket was missing.

"Who the hell stole my abalone? Do you have any shame? You have the ability to do it, but you dare not admit it, right?"

One was stolen without noticing.

This made Chu Zhi even more afraid to leave.

Chu Zhi was stuck in place, feeling extremely frustrated. He continued to curse, "Listen up to me, the man who stole my abalone! You will have no descendants! Even if you have offspring, it's useless..."

Just say whatever offensive words you want.

Everyone else on the dock pretended not to hear.

Even though they knew who stole Chu Zhi's abalone, they didn't say it.

Chu Zhi was tired of scolding, and suddenly he thought of an idea. He patted his pocket and said, "Whoever tells me who stole the abalone will give him five dollars!"

Everyone at the dock looked at each other and finally decided to keep silent. Who made Chu Zhi have such a bad character?

Chu Zhi had stolen other people’s fish many times in the past, but he never admitted it.

Just then, a truck stopped near the dock.

Several fishmongers ran over and ordered trucks from the truck owner.

Chu Zhi also wanted to go and place an order, but unfortunately, it would be stolen as soon as he left.

I could only watch others order trucks.

After a while, the truck left with a load of fish.

Chu Zhi now regretted coming alone to collect the fish. He should have called Feng Shuai over.

He wanted to find someone to help him go to the village factory to call Feng Shuai, but no one went.

He could see that everyone wanted to see him lose money and wished his sea cucumbers and abalone would rot at the dock.

The more this is the case, the more ambitious he should be. He wants to let everyone see that he, Chu Zhi, can make money!

Can a truck really defeat him?

Ten minutes later, another truck pulled up to the dock. Chu Zhi waved vigorously at the truck, "This way! I want to hire a truck! Pay a high price!"

The truck driver got out and said embarrassedly, "Boss Li has already reserved my car in advance. If you want to hire my car, you have to wait until I come back from the city, which will take at least five hours!"

Chu Zhi cast a jealous look at Li Tong, "Boss Li, can we share a truck? I can pay half the fare!"

Li Tong smiled calmly, "No. My goods just fill up the entire truck compartment. You can wait for other trucks!"

Chu Zhi tapped the ground with his cane, "Stingy! If you don't want to, forget it! I don't believe that I, Chu Zhi, can't rent a car!"
