Given Sun Youjin's attitude, Fu Wan didn't hesitate much and agreed.
She did indeed want to get a red willow tree to keep at home and polish it, but she would have to wait until she had time, and it wouldn't happen in the short term.
In addition to sea willow trees, Sun Youjin also ordered 900 jin of tuna, 800 jin of ribbonfish, 500 jin of deep-sea cod, and some other miscellaneous fish.
He bought up all the sergeant fish from the "Riding the Waves" ship, and also ordered over 400 jin of white and golden pomfret.
There were also squid, cuttlefish, and other seafood, all weighing five or six hundred pounds each, loaded onto the truck. Fu Wan and the others couldn't help but gasp in amazement. This Sun Youjin must have a very deep pocket!
Can he really digest all this fish?
Fu Ming, being a straightforward person, immediately put his arm around Sun Youjin and asked him a question out of curiosity.
Sun Youjin quite liked Fu Ming as a friend, and having dealt with him so many times, he didn't hold back.
He then told them that his family owned seafood restaurants in several cities, including Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai.
These seafood restaurants specialize in high-end dining services, charging high prices and generating substantial profits.
Only after this was revealed did everyone realize how wealthy this kid's family was.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a highly eligible bachelor!
Fu Ming was a little surprised when he heard this. "Mr. Sun, with so many hotels under your name, why do you still stay in this small place like Longhai City every day?"
Sun Youjin smiled without saying a word, but Fu Wan saw through his scheme.
This kid is staying in Longhai City, probably just keeping an eye on the seafood here!
However, Sun Youjin was indeed clever; ordering such a large quantity of fish saved him a lot of procurement costs.
Purchasing has always been a lucrative job. By overseeing it himself, he can not only ensure the quality of the seafood he purchases but also reduce procurement costs.
It has to be said, Fu Wan was right. Ever since he decisively partnered with Fu Wan, his seafood restaurant has been using fresh ingredients and has become very popular in various places.
The family restaurant's income also increased rapidly.
With the seafood almost fully loaded, Fu San and Fu Laoda and the others settled the accounts.
The fish that Sun Youjin brought were worth nearly 20,000 yuan.
This does not include the sea willow trees that Fu Wan and Fu Ming brought back. The two sea willow trees weighed a total of 82 jin and cost a total of 2,480 yuan.
Fu Wan and Fu Ming split the money equally, and Fu Ming received 1,200 yuan. His mouth was practically stretched to the back of his head in a grin.
"Mr. Sun, if there's another good deal like this next time, remember to come back to us!"
Hehe, what's the difference between this and picking up money? If this happens a few more times, he'll be rolling in money!
Sun Youjin nodded and smiled, while Fu Wan shook her head.
Sea willow trees are already scarce, and they also have a principle of not touching anything that isn't dead. As a result, there probably aren't many sea willow trees left to collect.
This time, it was purely by luck.
After saying goodbye to Fu Wan and the others, Sun Youjin drove back with the driver in the truck.
Seeing this, Fu Wan called Fu Laoda and the others to go back.
Finally, she didn't forget Fu San.
"Third Uncle, how about coming to my house for a drink?"
"No, no, these seafood items have already been ordered and are on their way. I'll wait here."
Fu San waved his hand. Even though Sun Youjin had taken away a large truckload of seafood, there were still no less than two or three thousand catties of goods left on the dock.
Even with the temptation of fine wine and delicious food, Fu San could only reluctantly refuse.
“I ate dinner before I left, so I'm not hungry right now. Ah Wan, Ah Ming, and Big Brother, you should go back first.”
You've all worked hard at sea these past few days. Once we sell the seafood, I'll bring a bottle of wine home to celebrate!
After hearing what Fu San said, Fu Wan and Fu Laoda and the others did not try to persuade him any further.
It was nearly 9 p.m., and as the weather was getting hotter, some villagers couldn't sleep and were strolling on the beach.
It was more like a beachcombing trip than a leisurely stroll, and we even tried our luck with some diving.
The wind picked up tonight and the waves are high, so I don't think I'll find anything of value.
As the group passed the beach and prepared to take a shortcut back, Fu Wan suddenly heard a child crying.
"Help! Waaah, help!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan's expression changed, and she hurriedly ran towards the sea.
Fu Laoda, Fu Ming, and Fu Liang followed closely behind. When Fu Wan rushed to the beach, several villagers who were gathering seafood were searching for the child who had fallen into the water with flashlights.
Fu Wan didn't use a flashlight at all; she just looked around and spotted a small figure bobbing up and down with the waves.
Despite the constant surging waves, Fu Wan was still able to clearly see the child's face.
Good heavens, it's Fu Honghong from next door, my daughter's best friend!
Why would this child be in the sea at this time?!
Moreover, there was a shadow swimming towards Fu Honghong not far from the child. Fu Wan initially thought it was a villager who was rescuing the child, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a large, wet dog!
That familiar figure was none other than her dog, Dahuang!
A bit of wind picked up in the evening, and the waves were quite strong. Some people tried to jump in to rescue someone, but they were pushed back by the waves before they could swim even a meter away.
Fu Wan didn't have time to think, and immediately waded through the seawater towards Fu Honghong's location.
No one knows how the child got out, and there are no family members around. Several villagers who were originally gathering seafood are now standing worriedly on the beach.
"Help...help!"
Fu Honghong was so exhausted that she barely had the strength to struggle anymore. Her usually well-behaved and lively eyes were so fogged up by the seawater that she couldn't even open them.
The waves were so big that Fu Wan couldn't swim across at all. She finally managed to get a little closer, but before she could even touch Fu Honghong's clothes, a huge wave hit and swept her back two meters away.
Dahuang was in a similar situation to Fu Wan, but because it was smaller, it didn't run very far.
Seeing his familiar two-legged creature approaching, Big Yellow shook its wet head and barked at Fu Wan.
Fu Wan finally managed to steady herself and wiped the seawater off her face.
The waves were too big, but she didn't have much time left.
Fu Honghong was almost too weak to struggle. She was about the same age as Fu Ling, and Fu Wan was extremely anxious. She couldn't bear to watch a little girl who was about the same age as her daughter die in front of her.
Fu Wan gritted her teeth, trying to calm herself down.
The waves were constantly rising and falling, but there wasn't such a big commotion underwater, so she simply dived down to rescue the person!
Thinking of this, Fu Wan dived into the water without hesitation.
When the big yellow dog, which was resting on the surface of the sea, suddenly disappeared, it swam down to check on Fu Wan. Seeing that Fu Wan was alright, it understood Fu Wan's intention.
So, just as Fu Wan swam to Fu Honghong's side, Da Huang also swam over and tried his best to carry Fu Honghong up with his body.
"Big Yellow, well done!"
Fu Wan couldn't help but praise her. She immediately checked Fu Honghong's condition. Fortunately, although she didn't have much strength, she still knew to hold onto Fu Wan tightly.
Even if you manage to rescue someone, getting back home will be difficult.
Fu Wan can swim back to shore by herself, but with a child, Fu Honghong won't be able to hold her breath.
"Woof!"
As if sensing Fu Wan's dilemma, before she could react, Da Huang bit Fu Honghong's clothes and then swam towards the shore with its head held high.
