"My goodness! Brother Yu, I've heard that grouper is very valuable, after all, I've eaten grouper before, but I really didn't expect that wild ones would be so expensive!"
After selling their catch, Bai Yu and the other three walked out together. Li Shuang still felt a little incredulous as she held the money from selling the fish.
As he himself said, he had eaten grouper before. His family bought one during the Chinese New Year, but it was farmed and the single tail was not very big, only a little over a pound. It only cost a little over two hundred yuan at the time.
Li Shuang originally guessed that this grouper would sell for six or seven hundred yuan at best, but who would have thought that this fish weighing just over two kilograms would sell for over a thousand!
"Let's go, let's wander over there again and see if we can find another grouper. This one fish is enough to cover our living expenses for ten days to half a month."
Not only was Li Shuang surprised, but Bai Yu was equally surprised that this thing was so valuable.
Although Bai Yu didn't encounter grouper very often in the wild, he saw them quite often in Uncle Sun's hotel kitchen. Every time he saw them, there were baskets and baskets full of grouper.
However, those were farmed, not wild.
Soon, Bai Yu and his group rode their electric bikes back to the rocky beach and continued their search, leaving no corner unchecked, hoping to find another spotted rat.
Unfortunately, despite their good intentions, the final result was not satisfactory. By 5 p.m., as darkness fell, they still hadn't found the second spotted mouse.
"Let's go, we're done looking. Let's call it a day for beachcombing. We'll take everything to the recycling station to sell, and then we'll go have dinner."
After looking at a crevice in the reef again, Bai Yu stretched and decided to call it a day and stop beachcombing.
"Time to eat? Finally, we can eat! Brother Yu, I really didn't expect you to still have so much energy after a week of training!"
Bai Yu and his group arrived at the rocky beach at 1 p.m. and stayed there until 5 p.m. During this time, apart from visiting the purchasing station a few times, they spent the rest of the time searching for prey on the rocky beach.
After such a long time of beachcombing, not to mention Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, even Wang Hai, who is also a physical education student, was already exhausted.
After all, Wang Hai is a sprinter, and he can't match Bai Yu's endurance. Their main focuses are different.
Upon hearing Bai Yu say that work was done, he instantly became radiant, immediately picked up the plastic bucket and walked towards the shore, then turned his electric scooter around.
After Li Shuang and the others got ashore with their things, they immediately rode their electric bikes to the purchasing station. After selling their catch, they rode towards Ocean University.
Now they're going to have dinner, and the place they're going to is naturally the back street of Ocean University.
The backstreets of Ocean University are incredibly diverse, offering not only a plethora of snacks, barbecue stalls, and numerous restaurants, including buffets.
For Bai Yu and Wang Hai, both athletes, the most suitable place to eat is a buffet. This time, they can take advantage of the money from selling grouper to find a buffet restaurant and have a good meal.
Finally, they chose a buffet restaurant where the average cost per person was 110 yuan. The four of them spent 440 yuan before entering the restaurant.
Don't be fooled by the relatively low average cost per person at this buffet; it offers exceptional value for money.
After all, this buffet restaurant is located near a school, so they must take the students' spending power into account when setting their prices.
In addition, students' appetites are limited, so even if the prices they set are not high, the restaurant can still make money, or even a lot of money. At least their boss can easily buy a house in Haikou in a year.
This time, they welcomed the four Bai brothers, who had just finished a busy afternoon and were starving when they stepped into the restaurant.
After assigning one person to follow the waiter to find a table, the other three immediately split up and began wandering around the restaurant.
"Brother Yu, I'll go get some ready-to-eat food. You go to the seafood section and see if there's any good and fresh seafood to take. Ah Hai, you like to eat meat, right? Go to the barbecue section and take whatever you want. Don't worry about not being able to finish it. I feel like I could eat a whole cow right now!"
After assigning tasks to everyone, Li Shuang immediately headed to the cooked food section, where he grabbed plates and plates of everything he saw, including large bones, grilled meat skewers, oysters, and other seafood.
Bai Yu then went to the seafood section, his main targets being various kinds of shrimp and scallops. He was indifferent to the other seafood, finding it unappetizing.
Seafood this season, whether it's crabs or anything else, isn't particularly plump. Even setting aside whether crabs have roe or not, their meat isn't very meaty; each crab is rather thin.
On the other hand, when Wang Hai arrived at the meat section, he was not picky at all and accepted everything offered to him.
Give me a few plates of spicy beef slices for barbecue, a few plates of beef rolls for hot pot, a few lamb chops for barbecue, and a few plates of lamb rolls for hot pot.
In a short while, Wang Hai had piled up a bunch of meat rolls and slices, and carrying them, he began searching for Lu Sheng's location.
He was carrying so much stuff that other diners passing by had to let Wang Hai go first, for fear that they might bump into him and knock all the meat off his hands.
When Wang Hai found Lu Sheng and the others, both Lu Sheng and Li Shuang were stunned, especially Li Shuang, because it was he who told Wang Hai to take the meat without worry, and that he could eat as much as he wanted.
But he really didn't expect that Wang Hai could bring back thirty plates of meat at once, so many that they didn't have room to put them all on the table.
"Hey Ah Hai, we're really hungry right now, and we can eat all of this, but isn't it a bit too much to take all at once? Look, there's no room left on the table!"
"It's okay, let's eat quickly. Turn the heat on the barbecue and hot pot to the highest setting, let's get started as soon as possible."
Wang Hai didn't take Li Shuang's suggestion to heart at all. Instead, he turned the heat on the grill and hot pot to the highest setting and put some meat rolls into each.
In the blink of an eye, the four plates of meat rolls were empty. Once they were cooked, we could cook another four plates.
As is well known, buffets generally have designated dining times, and the more popular the buffet, the shorter the dining time.
For buffets like this located near universities, the dining time is even shorter, only one hundred minutes, since they need to serve more waves of customers within a limited time.
From the moment Bai Yu and his companions stepped into the restaurant, they had no intention of wasting any time.
While grilling or simmering meat on the grill and hot pot, they eat cooked food. Once the cooked food is finished, they move on to fruit. In short, there is never a moment when they stop eating.
It wasn't until 8 p.m. that the four of them left the restaurant, supporting each other.
This is what they call "coming in leaning against the wall and leaving leaning against the wall"—restaurant owners can never expect to make a single penny off them.
Take what they ate today, for example. It cost them a total of 440 yuan, but the food they ate, even at cost price, was worth more than 440 yuan. This time, they didn't lose money; they completely got their money's worth.
After returning to school, they first showed up in the classroom, and then went back to the dormitory together, where they sat in a row and played games again.
For Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, tonight should be their last leisurely evening. Starting tomorrow morning, they will be going for a morning run with Bai Yu and Lu Sheng.
Moreover, in order to ensure they have the energy to run in the morning, they must go to bed early the night before, so it's not wrong to say that tonight is their last moment of leisure.
After playing games for several hours, around 10 p.m., they had finished washing up and were in bed. No one was playing on their phones; they all went to sleep at the same time.
What should I do if I can't fall asleep so early?
What else can you do? If you can't sleep, just force yourself to sleep. As long as you keep your eyes closed, you'll eventually fall asleep.
Nothing happened that night, and I slept soundly until the next morning.
The next morning at seven o'clock, Bai Yu and Wang Hai, now refreshed, led Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, who were still sleepy-eyed, to the playground.
Even though they had been up for half an hour and had already eaten breakfast, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng still looked like they hadn't woken up properly.
When they arrived at the playground, the other members of the track and field team had already started exercising there.
"Shuangzi, Asheng, you two haven't run in a long time. Now that you're running for the first time, you definitely need to do a good warm-up. Otherwise, if you get cramps during the run, you'll be in for a world of hurt."
"Warm-up exercises? Is it like doing radio calisthenics? I know how to do that, I still remember the specific movements of radio calisthenics."
"Radio gymnastics is radio gymnastics, and warming up is warming up. These two should not be confused. You two follow me and let's stretch a bit first."
Then, under Bai Yu's persuasion, he and Wang Hai helped Li Shuang and Lu Sheng loosen their muscles and bones.
