The two of them worked for more than an hour in the morning and earned a thousand yuan. What job can compare to this kind of money-making efficiency?
With this huge sum of money in his hands, Bai Yu led Wang Hai out of the purchasing station and home.
The beachcombing activity this morning is over, and the next one will be held this afternoon. Now, the two of them have one more thing to do, which is training.
Although what my aunt said earlier was unpleasant, she was right about one thing: Bai Yu and Wang Hai were not admitted based on their academic performance, but on their special talents.
Therefore, in order to avoid being eliminated by Ocean University, Bai Yu and Wang Hai must maintain their advantages and cannot relax in their training.
After returning home, Bai Yu simply changed into a pair of sneakers and then went to the beach with Wang Hai.
That's right, Bai Yu and Wang Hai returned to the seaside.
There is a unique way to train Bai Yu, which is to run on the beach. Wang Hai also runs with weights, with a one-kilogram sandbag tied to each leg.
Everyone knows what a beach is, right? It's soft and doesn't make it easy to put pressure on your feet. Running on the beach is very different from running on a track. It's much more difficult to run fast on the beach.
Not to mention that Wang Hai was running with added weight. Although each side only added one kilogram of weight, the combination of the sand and the weight made it much more difficult than just adding one kilogram.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai train on the beach every day. Wang Hai has to run a single run on the beach with weights, which requires him to run at full speed. He has to do this twice a morning, with each run being about two kilometers long.
Bai Yu needs to run two round trips, which is about eight kilometers. She cannot stop in the middle. Bai Yu can control her own running pace.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai have been undergoing this training for four years. As long as they are not in school or on holiday at home, except in extreme weather, it is conducted once in the morning and once in the afternoon, rain or shine.
So don't envy Bai Yu and Wang Hai for being admitted to Ocean University early. The effort they put in was no less than that of those top students. In fact, in terms of sheer amount of sweat, a hundred top students couldn't match the effort put in by just one of them.
Training at the beach is tedious and boring, but at the same time it is relaxing and wonderful.
Training by the sea allows you to enjoy the sea breeze, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the boundless ocean.
At this moment, Bai Yu and Wang Hai were like two young men chasing the wind, soaring high into the sky by the sea breeze.
Five minutes later, Wang Hai ran to the end of the beach first, then sat down on the rocks, waiting for Bai Yu to arrive.
That's right, Wang Hai was the first to reach the finish line in a single run. Even though Bai Yu wasn't carrying any weights, he still wasn't as fast as Wang Hai when running the first two kilometers.
Because their training focuses are different, Wang Hai mainly trains in short-distance explosive running within the range of 200 to 1,500 meters, while Bai Yu focuses on long-distance running of more than 3,000 meters.
Sprinting relies on explosive power in a short time, while long-distance running relies on endurance; the two are not comparable.
After Wang Hai finished his first run, he rested for about twenty minutes before running another run. At that time, Bai Yu had just finished the last two kilometers.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai's training session lasted only about an hour, which included warm-up and stretching.
The seemingly casual training was actually quite effective for Bai Yu and his companion; at least for now, no one at school could defeat them in their respective areas of expertise.
After training, Wang Hai was going to fulfill what he had said when he was going to the beach to: treat Bai Yu to a meal in the county town.
Before heading to the county town, however, they had to go home first to wash off the sweat from their training and change their clothes and shoes.
When the two brothers arrived in the county town looking completely refreshed, it was exactly 11:30 a.m., time for lunch.
"Brother Yu, what's the name of that restaurant you mentioned this morning? The one where you can eat and drink all you want? Let's go there this time, I'm hungry."
As soon as Wang Hai got off the bus from the town to the county seat, he started complaining that he was hungry and wanted to go to a buffet.
"Wait a minute, let me search online and see which buffet has better reviews. Hai Zhi Wei Seafood BBQ Buffet, the reviews for this one are pretty good, let's go there." Wang Hai got into the car.
Bai Yu searched on her phone and quickly found a buffet restaurant with a good reputation. The average cost per person was 298 yuan, and the variety of dishes was quite extensive.
Most importantly, this buffet actually offers baby lobsters. Although it's a limited supply, the fact that they have them is enough. Bai Yu and Wang Hai have never tried them before.
Bai Yu then took a taxi straight to the buffet.
When they arrived at the restaurant, there was already a long queue outside the buffet, so Bai Yu and Wang Hai could only take a number and wait at the door.
"Brother Yu, when will it be our turn? Should we go somewhere else to eat?"
"Don't rush, don't rush. I have a ticket for a two-person table. There are only two tables ahead of us, so it will be our turn soon."
This morning you asked me what baby lobster tasted like, right? This place has baby lobster; you'll find out what it tastes like once you try it yourself.
Although Wang Hai is rather dull, he is extremely enthusiastic when it comes to eating. He can't stand being hungry unless there's an even bigger temptation waiting for him.
Wang Hai went to the beach with Bai Yu very early today, and then ran four kilometers along the shore. He was starving, and it was only because of the temptation of the little green dragon that he was willing to continue waiting at the door with Bai Yu.
Just as Bai Yu said, his two-person queue went very quickly, and he and Wang Hai bought tickets and went inside in no time.
After finding their seats, he led Wang Hai straight to the table where the little green dragon was. According to the restaurant's requirements, the little green dragon was only available one per person, and a ticket was needed to exchange for it.
There are many ways to cook baby lobsters, including grilling, blanching, spicy, and cheese-baked.
Bai Yu chose half spicy and half boiled, while Wang Hai chose two other flavors.
Besides the baby lobsters, Bai Yu and Wang Hai each prepared a plate of spicy crayfish, wanting to see what the difference was between baby lobsters and regular crayfish.
"Ah Hai, make sure to eat plenty of meat later. We still have to go beachcombing and training this afternoon, so eat more meat to keep us full."
"Brother Yu, I want to eat watermelon, do you want some?"
"Take less, that stuff isn't worth much, you can't even get your money's worth no matter how much you eat."
Break even?
Wang Hai didn't have that concept at all. All he cared about was whether he could eat his fill and enjoy his meal. As long as those two things were met, that was enough for him.
While Wang Hai went to get the fruit, Bai Yu picked up his own grilled lobster and prepared to try it.
To be honest, the baby lobsters in this buffet are really small. This half of the baby lobster looks to be only about two ounces. If you calculate it this way, the whole baby lobster is only about half a pound.
As for whether this little green dragon was wild or farmed, Bai Yu really didn't know how to tell; he didn't know much about that.
However, since the goal was to compare the differences between lobsters and crayfish, Bai Yu naturally had to prepare the crayfish before eating the lobsters. He quickly peeled five crayfish.
Then I picked up the small green dragon and tried it. The preparation method for the small green dragon is relatively simple, it is just to cut it in half in the middle.
Regardless of how the baby lobster tastes after being prepared this way, it is certainly very convenient to eat. Bai Yu picked it up from the tail, and the lobster meat came off easily. There was no meat left on the shell.
As Bai Yu stuffed a whole lobster into his mouth, he immediately recognized the taste of the small green lobster.
This lobster meat is so fresh! It truly lives up to its reputation as seafood. Moreover, the meat is quite bouncy and chewy, it's so delicious. No wonder it can sell for over a hundred yuan now.
Bai Yu finished half a small green lobster in one bite, and then he started eating spicy crayfish. Looking at the tiny crayfish tail in his hand, and thinking back to the small green lobster tail he had eaten before, the difference was immediately apparent.
He can finish half a small green lobster and five small crayfish tails in one bite. However, these small crayfish cannot compare to the freshness of the small green lobster, nor do they have the same chewy texture.
In summary, crayfish were completely defeated.
This is understandable, considering how much crayfish cost per pound and how much lobsters cost per pound. Comparing the two would be unfair to the crayfish.
