"My nephew is so good to me. He thinks of me first when he has something good. Nephew, quickly bring out the flower lobster so I can see its quality."
As soon as they entered Bai Yu's courtyard, Uncle Sun immediately asked to take a look at the goods.
Bai Yu didn't hesitate and brought over the plastic bucket containing four lobsters so that Uncle Sun could have a good look at them.
"Uncle Sun, all the lobsters are here, four in total. The largest one weighs about six pounds, and the smallest one weighs two or three pounds. They are all whole, without any missing limbs. Take a look."
You ask why there are only four?
As mentioned before, Bai Yu and the others planned to keep one lobster for themselves. The lobster that was kept was the second largest, weighing about five pounds.
"Holy crap, four of these are such good quality! Nephew, where did you get them? Are you sure they're wild?"
Uncle Sun looked at the lobsters in the bucket and was instantly stunned by them.
Especially the biggest one; just by its appearance, this guy was over 35 centimeters long, definitely a top-quality lobster.
"It must be wild, right there on the mudflats over at the pier. I have video footage of it, but unfortunately the tide is coming in now, otherwise I could take you there to see it."
Uncle Sun, did you bring a scale? Let's weigh these lobsters so we can sell them quickly and you and my dad can get to work earlier. It's almost lunchtime, and your hotel should be getting busy by now.
By the way, Uncle Sun, besides the three of us, there were other villagers there today. When you go back later, ask around at the purchasing station to see if my third uncle has received any flower lobsters.
If there are any, then that mudflat will probably be quite lively this afternoon. You can tell my third uncle to keep an eye out for lobsters; I have a feeling there are still big lobsters in that mudflat.”
Seeing how much Uncle Sun loved the lobsters, Bai Yu immediately seized the opportunity to sell them and also deal with the other catches.
In order to complete the transaction smoothly, Bai Yu also revealed a piece of information to Uncle Sun: that he might receive the flower lobsters before others.
"Here you go, Lao Bai. Weigh all these goods and raise the price by 10% for my nephew. Nephew, if you ever have any more of these good stuff, remember to sell them to me. I'll buy as many as you have."
Uncle Sun was quite generous with the information Bai Yu provided, and immediately raised the purchase price for Bai Yu this time.
The price of the flower lobster, which was originally 450 yuan per catty, has increased to 500 yuan per catty. The four flower lobsters weighed a total of 15 catties and 6 liang, and were sold for a total of 7,800 yuan.
Upon hearing the price of the flower lobster, Bai Yu instinctively glanced at Li Xue, because they had a flower lobster in the kitchen, and it was a large lobster weighing nearly five pounds, which cost more than two thousand yuan!
Li Xue glared back at Bai Yu when she looked at her. She didn't care how much the lobsters cost; she just wanted to try them and see if they were delicious.
Besides, Xiaobai had already said that all the money she earned from beachcombing this morning belonged to her, so let's just consider this lobster as something she bought with her own money.
Besides the flower lobster, the price of baby lobsters has also increased. The wholesale price has now risen to 230 yuan per catty. Seven baby lobsters weigh a total of 5 catties and 2 liang, which is 1196 yuan.
The other harvests were not much; whether it was crabs, scallops, or razor clams, the prices were not high.
After all, the crabs Bai Yu and his friends picked up were all quite small, none of them weighing more than a pound. Since they were small, their price naturally wouldn't be high.
The rest of the harvest only brought in about two hundred yuan. When all the money was put together, Uncle Sun gave Bai Yu and the others a total of 9,500 yuan.
Then he took Bai's father and left, heading straight for the purchasing station at the dock.
Uncle Sun and Dad Bai have left, and now only the three of them are left in the house.
"Xue'er, Uncle Sun transferred this money to my WeChat account. You're still a minor, so there are restrictions on using many apps. Should I transfer this money to my godmother, or wait until my mom gets off work and I'll ask her to exchange it for cash for you?"
Since it has already been agreed that today's earnings will go to Li Xue, Bai Yu will naturally do so. However, due to age limitations, she cannot do so at the moment and needs someone's help.
"No, no, no, don't transfer it to my mom. If you transfer it to her, the money will be worth half of what it is when it gets to me. Let's wait for my godmother to come back and exchange it for cash."
Besides, you don't need to give me all this money. Three square meters is enough for us. I didn't do much work today, so taking this much money is too much.
Li Xue agreed to take the money, but she didn't intend to take all of it.
Although she agreed to give Bai Yu the money she was supposed to earn from beachcombing this morning, she never expected today's harvest to be so great.
Based on their previous beachcombing results, earning a few hundred yuan per trip was quite good. Given her relationship with Bai Yuwang Hai, earning a few hundred yuan today would be no problem at all.
But 9,500 yuan won't do. That's 500 yuan short of 10,000 yuan. 9,500 yuan and a few hundred yuan are not the same thing.
"We agreed beforehand that all the spoils from this morning would be yours. This is a graduation gift from Ah Hai and me to you. Just accept it."
Besides, even though we made a lot of money today, the flower lobsters alone brought in 7,800 yuan, and you were the one who found three of the four flower lobsters.
So you can take this money without any burden at all. At worst, Ah Hai and I can just mooch off you for the next few days. What do you think, Ah Hai?
Bai Yu knew that Li Xue had too much money and was embarrassed to keep it all to herself, so Bai Yu analyzed the composition of this harvest for her.
Just as Bai Yu said, the person who contributed the most to the beachcombing today was actually Li Xue. The little bit of food Bai Yu picked up himself wasn't even enough to cover the five hundred yuan.
In order to get Li Xue to accept the money, Bai Yu directly pulled Wang Hai along to talk to him.
"Xue'er, are you treating me to lunch? Then I want to go to the county town for a buffet, the one with lots of meat. Xue'er, let's go there for lunch today."
If Li Xue is someone who loves to eat and doesn't care about money, then Wang Hai is even more so.
He has no concept of money. He has never lacked money since he was a child. As long as he follows Bai Yu, his brother Yu will never mistreat him.
After hearing Wang Hai's words, Li Xue was also slightly tempted. It wasn't that she was interested in the money, but rather in the buffet that Wang Hai had mentioned.
During the few days of the college entrance examination, she had heard Wang Hai mention that restaurant many times, but since she still had to take the exam, Bai Yu certainly wouldn't take her there to eat and drink excessively.
But things are different now. The college entrance exam is over, and she can eat whatever she wants.
"Alright then, I'll take the money. Let's go for a buffet lunch, it's on me!"
"Okay, someone's treating! Brother Yu, when are we going?"
When it comes to food, Wang Hai is the happiest person of all.
In addition, they had eaten breakfast early today. Although it was only a little past nine o'clock, the three of them were already starving.
"Let's wait a bit. It's still early. Even if we get to the buffet, they won't have officially started serving yet."
Let's rest at home for a while. I got up too early this morning, I'll take a nap first.
Bai Yu glanced at the time, then lay down on the sofa in the living room, set her phone alarm, and went straight to sleep.
Seeing Bai Yu's actions, Wang Hai and Li Xue were not to be outdone. They also lay down on the sofas on the other two sides and began to rest as well.
