"Hey kid, come on, go in first." Wang Dongqiang smiled and led the two of them in. "What good things have you brought me this time?"
Lin Hao moved two snakeskin bags of gooseneck barnacles in front of Wang Dongqiang. After opening them, he walked to the other side to see the young lady. He left all the communication, such as negotiating the price, to Zheng Gan, and he was not responsible for it.
"Is this... Sea Buddha's Hand?" Wang Dongqiang was shocked when he saw what was in the snakeskin bag.
Zheng Gan nodded, "Brother Qiang has good eyesight, it's exactly the sea Buddha's hand and the gooseneck barnacle."
"Brother, you are really amazing. You can even get this thing. It's so rare." Wang Dongqiang exclaimed in amazement. "We are at the very edge of the growth range of the sea Buddha's hand. It was still there more than ten years ago, but now it has disappeared."
Zheng Gan was stunned. He had not expected this.
"I won't say any more. 220 yuan per catty. I want them all. I can sell them for more than 300 yuan per catty, but this stuff needs to be sold to the south or abroad, and I have to spend a lot on the travel expenses." Wang Dongqiang now basically tells Zheng Gan the bottom line when he receives goods from him.
"Thank you very much, Brother Qiang." Zheng Gan was very satisfied with the price, which was 20 yuan more than the original plan.
"Since you agree, I'll let them weigh them." Wang Dongqiang didn't say much and ordered people to weigh all the gooseneck barnacles and also count the other sea-fished fish that Zheng Gan brought.
"These sea Buddhas weigh a total of 225 kilograms, and the total price is yuan. The total price of those sea fish is 3,450 yuan. I will round it up and transfer it to you." After Wang Dongqiang calculated the bill, he directly transferred it to Zheng Gan.
After the payment and goods were settled, Wang Dongqiang wanted to have a drink together, but was politely rejected by Zheng Gan and Lin Hao. They said that they had not yet returned home after getting off the boat and had to go home first to report their safety and wait for the next time they came to have a drink together.
Wang Dongqiang expressed his understanding and prepared a seafood box for the two to take back.
This made the two of them once again sigh that Wang Dongqiang was a good person.
They drove the magic car and hummed a little tune as they returned to Lin Hao's home.
"Hey, isn't this our Boss Zheng and Boss Lin back? I heard they made a lot of money on their trip out to sea. Everyone in the village knows about it."
As soon as they entered the house, they were ridiculed by Lin Hao's mother Wu Sujuan.
"Ahem, just a small profit." Zheng Gan was a little short of breath, and Lin Hao was like a quail, lowering his head and not daring to say anything.
"Really? Congratulations then. Do you remember what your home was like? I heard you even got off the ship midway and didn't get back on the next morning. What did you do there?"
Zheng Gan immediately understood that this was the reason why Wu Sujuan was unhappy.
"Aunt, you misunderstood. You heard from me that what happened that day was actually like this..." Zheng Gan quickly recounted everything that had happened in the past four days.
A huge net of bamboo shrimps, more than 1,400 kilograms of spring mackerel, 16.8 jins of wild yellow croaker, and more than 200 kilograms of gooseneck barnacles.
Wu Sujuan and Lin Gang were stunned when they heard this.
"You said that the wild yellow catfish that was sold at a sky-high price in the county town the day before yesterday was caught by you?" Lin Gang couldn't believe it.
As the head of intelligence, he heard the news the next day that a wild yellow croaker weighing 16.8 jin appeared in the county and was sold for 268,000 yuan.
"Well, I fished it alone." Zheng Gan said proudly. As a fisherman, he can brag about this for the rest of his life.
Lin Hao curled his lips but couldn't say anything. Who would have thought that a fisherman who could only catch stone croaker would catch a huge yellow croaker worth a fortune.
"How much seafood did you sell in the four days you were out at sea?" Wu Sujuan asked.
"Let me do the math," Zheng Gan said, opening his phone's calculator. "The seafood I sold a few days ago must have totaled 526,000 yuan. The cost of renting the boat and some supplies was around 50,000 yuan, so I made a profit of 476,000 yuan."
Wu Sujuan and Lin Gang were truly shocked when they heard this figure. They'd made nearly half a million yuan in four days out at sea? And they'd done it on a sea fishing boat. Who would believe it?
"You don't need to give this money to that brat Lin Hao. You can take it all. It's enough for building a house." Wu Sujuan said hurriedly after coming to her senses.
Zheng Gan shook his head decisively. "Lin Hao said the same thing before, but I disagree, Auntie. We agreed that I won't give him the money from the big yellow croaker this time, but the rest will remain as it is. Otherwise, I'll be really angry."
After deducting the money for the yellow croaker, there is still 258,000 yuan left, and 40% is 103,000 yuan.
