Before long, Feng Ye and A-Can arrived at the dock.
At a glance, the dock was bustling with people, a lively and bustling scene!
Unlike usual, there weren't many people out fishing today; most of the fishing boats remained quietly moored at the shore, gently rocking with the waves.
At this moment, the entrances to several purchasing points by the dock were crowded with people, all beaming with joy as they waited to collect their money from selling abalone.
Even those who had already received their money were not in a hurry to leave; they all wanted to see how much others had sold.
Feng Ye and A Can went straight to the entrance of Feng Jiafa's purchasing point, which immediately caused quite a commotion.
People greeted them, offered them cigarettes, and expressed their gratitude.
They both wore faint smiles throughout, patiently responding to each question.
Along the way, people around me cast envious glances my way.
After all, the word of how many abalone they sold yesterday had already spread throughout the entire village.
Everyone knows that they sold the most abalone this time and also made the most money.
The two of them were at the end of the line, slowly moving forward with the queue.
Despite being offered to cut in line and get paid first by people around them, they politely declined.
There was a constant murmur of conversation around them, with people discussing how many kilograms of abalone someone had sold and how much money they could make.
From these voices, Feng Ye roughly understood the situation.
Besides him and Ah Can, the father and son were the biggest abalone sellers yesterday, selling nearly 260 jin (130 kg) for about 3,000 yuan.
The smallest one weighed only 18 jin (approximately 9 catties), but it still cost 200 yuan.
The difference is really quite large.
But that's normal.
Some people have diving equipment, so of course they can pry off more;
Some people, even without diving equipment, are physically fit and can dive for long periods of time, and are still able to pry open quite a few abalone.
Some people, however, lack both diving equipment and physical fitness, so they naturally pry open fewer abalone...
Of course, luck also played a significant role.
In short, thanks to Feng Ye and A Can, most families in Dongtou Village made a fortune yesterday, to varying degrees.
As time went on, the line gradually shortened.
Finally, it was Feng Ye and A Can's turn.
"Ah Ye, Ah Can, I've prepared the money. Bring the receipts over, and I'll give you the money."
When Feng Jiafa looked up and saw it was the two of them, he immediately smiled, picked up his cigarette case, and gave one to each of them.
"Uncle Fa, that's impressive. You've gone from a musket to a cannon, and you're even willing to smoke Zhonghua cigarettes now."
Feng Ye glanced at the cigarette box, took the cigarettes, and then handed over the receipt in his hand.
"Made a small profit, time to change things up."
Feng Jiafa laughed heartily, then took out a thick wad of already counted banknotes from the drawer and handed it over.
"The unit price is on the order form. Considering the large quantity you ordered, I've given you a discount to round it up to 6600 yuan in total."
The moment this number was announced, it caused a stir among those around, and the discussions intensified.
Although the others also made a lot of money, compared to Feng Ye and A-Can, it was like comparing heaven and earth.
Many people don't even have a fraction of what they earn.
Feng Ye was also filled with excitement.
6600 yuan, which is more than he expected.
He had just overheard the various unit prices from the discussions, ranging from a few yuan to ten or twenty yuan.
He did a rough mental calculation and estimated it to be between 6,300 and 6,400 yuan.
But now, it's more than two hundred yuan more than he calculated in his head.
"Uncle Fa, thank you very much."
Feng Ye happily accepted it directly.
The money was tied up with a rubber band by Feng Jiafa, and wrapped around the money was the receipt that Feng Jiafa originally held.
The unit price and total price for each specification have already been written above.
"Haha, I should be thanking you, because you've helped me make quite a bit of money too."
Feng Jiafa waved his hand and said with a smile, "Count them and see if there are any mistakes."
"Win-win, win-win..."
Feng Ye untied the bundle of money, counted it carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, put it in his pocket.
"Is that right?"
"The amount is correct. Let's go, I won't keep you from settling your bill."
There were still many people lined up behind them, and some had just heard the news and were on their way.
With a large sum of money in his pocket, Feng Ye exchanged a few words with Ah Can and then quickly squeezed out of the crowd.
Stepping out of the crowd, the two exchanged a glance and both broke into excited smiles.
"Come on, let's go to my house and divide the money."
Feng Ye said with a smile, and took the lead in walking home.
Ah-Can quickly chimed in: "We just divided the money last night, and we have more money to divide today..."
The two chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the Feng family's house.
Xiao Chunxiu and Du Guilan returned and were making lunch with Feng Yanmei in the kitchen.
Ye Qingling watched over the two children in the main room to prevent them from catching and eating the shrimp that were drying in the sun.
It's not that we don't give them food, but children have no self-control when they eat. They just eat this and don't even eat their regular meals.
Before Feng Xuan returned, Feng Ye went to call Du Guilan: "Sister-in-law, come to the main room for a moment."
"Did you get the money back for the abalone?"
"right."
Du Guilan happily put down her work and followed Feng Ye into the main room.
Even Xiao Chunxiu quickly stir-fried the vegetables in the pot and scooped them up, then curiously went to the main room.
As soon as she entered the main room, she saw Feng Ye take out the wad of money from his pocket and place it on the table.
So, smiling, he asked, "How much did you sell it for?"
Ye Qingling and Du Guilan's eyes lit up when they saw so much money.
Du Guilan asked excitedly, "Aye, do you have six thousand yuan?"
Ah-Can quickly said, "6600, that's 6600 in total."
"6600 yuan!"
Du Guilan exclaimed in surprise.
“It should have been a little less, but Uncle Fa rounded it up to a whole number and gave me 6,600 yuan.”
Feng Ye added a sentence.
"Uncle Fa is quite good at dealing with people..."
"Otherwise what? We've already made a lot of money, why would we care about a few dollars? If it were me, I'd round it up to a whole number, and we could sell it for a better price."
Xiao Chunxiu said with a smile, "Have you counted the money? Don't make a mistake with so much money."
"Don't worry, it's definitely correct," Feng Ye said. "Here's the order form, sister-in-law, would you like to take a look?"
As he spoke, he handed over the receipt and began counting the money.
He happened to have two 50-dollar bills, so he counted out 1650 dollars and handed it to Ah-chan: "This is yours."
He then counted out another 1,650 yuan and gave it to Du Guilan: "This is for my elder brother."
Ah-Can and Du-Gui-Lan accepted the gifts with delight and began counting them.
