After noting down the weight of the large red robe on the list, Feng Ye asked, "What price are you offering for this blue robe?"
"Two yuan and two jiao."
Without a second thought, Feng Jiafa quoted a price.
"Uncle Fa..."
"No way you can raise the price. I usually charge 2.1 yuan. If you think the price is too low, you can take it and sell it to Qin Aijun."
Feng Ye's heart skipped a beat.
Damn, Feng Jiafa has become shrewd; he's even bringing up things to shut me up.
He could only give an awkward smile: "Two yuan and twenty cents is fine."
This blue garment is indeed large, but not large enough to be truly remarkable, so it's unlikely to command a high price.
He had no choice but to accept this price.
Feng Jiafa glared at Feng Ye and placed the blue-clad woman on the scale: "21 jin and 3 liang."
As he spoke, he made a note on the list and went to pick up the bucket containing the prawns.
"etc."
Feng Ye quickly stopped him.
"What? You're not selling it anymore?"
"Of course we'll sell them, but we also need to keep some for ourselves."
"Put it here first, and weigh the rest first."
Feng Jiafa found an empty bucket.
Feng Ye scooped out about two jin (1 kg), poured some seawater into it to keep it in place, and then had Feng Jiafa take it to filter and weigh it.
Just as Feng Jiafa poured the prawns into the filter basket, he saw Feng Ye grab a small green lobster from a bucket and put it into the open bucket of prawns, and his eyes widened in surprise.
What are you doing?
He snatched the bucket and pulled the little green dragon out again.
Feng Ye said innocently, "I'll keep it for myself, what else can I do with it?"
"You're even willing to eat a small green dragon? Is it really necessary to be so extravagant? Stop eating it and sell it to me."
"Selling you Da Zhang Hong is enough, what's wrong with splurge a little?"
"You spendthrift! Go eat some stone crab if you want."
"I caught it myself, I can eat whatever I want, what's it to you?"
As he spoke, he snatched the bucket back, grabbed a small green dragon from another bucket and threw it in, then another one, and then a third one.
The cage only caught four small green dragons. One was given to Feng Xuan, and the remaining three were all kept by Feng Ye.
Feng Jiafa was heartbroken to see this and cursed Feng Ye as a spendthrift son in his heart.
But he really had no choice; the item belonged to Feng Ye, and he could do whatever he wanted with it.
He had no choice but to turn away and weigh the prawns: "73 jin and 8 liang, 2 yuan and 15 fen per jin."
The purchase price of shrimp is very transparent, so Feng Ye didn't haggle over the price.
The remaining goods were a mixed bag, with a dozen or so varieties, but at different prices, so they had to be sorted and weighed one by one.
So it took quite a while to weigh them all.
Feng Jiafa took out his abacus and fiddled with the list for a while, muttering to himself: "Da Zhang Hong 138 jin 6 liang, 3.3 yuan per jin, totaling 457.38 yuan; Qing Yi 21 jin 3 liang, 2.2 yuan per jin... totaling 979.86 yuan. Can you check if there are any mistakes?"
"Whatever price you set, that's what I'll pay. How could I not trust you?"
Feng Ye took the order and glanced at it, then did a quick mental calculation, but unfortunately, he couldn't figure it out.
With so many items to choose from, and not knowing how to use an abacus, and finding vertical calculations too time-consuming, he simply returned the order to Feng Jiafa.
As long as the main part is correct, it's fine.
"Tsk tsk, your luck is truly unbeatable. Every time you go out to sea, your harvest is at least ten times that of others. It makes me want to go out to sea with you."
Feng Jiafa was quite envious.
He could easily collect goods and make money, but compared to Feng Ye's speed in making money, he couldn't even come close.
He usually earns between tens and a hundred yuan a day collecting goods.
"So-so, third in the world."
Feng Ye blurted out triumphantly.
He regretted it as soon as he said it, and before he knew it, he had said something inappropriate.
"What, the third in the world?"
Feng Jiafa was somewhat bewildered.
Why can't I understand what you're saying?
"It's nothing, you misheard."
Feng Ye chuckled, trying to cover it up.
Feng Jiafa shook his head, not pursuing the matter further. He took out a wad of cash from the counter drawer, moistened it with saliva, and began counting it.
When Feng Jiafa was counting out hundreds and tens, and about to count out the bills, Feng Ye suddenly said, "Just give me 980 yuan. A big boss like you won't be short of a few cents."
Feng Jiafa's hand trembled slightly: "A little over a dime isn't much money. Wouldn't it be better to buy my grandson a few candies?"
Even so, he still put the bill away, took out another ten-yuan note, and counted it again: "Here you go. Next time you have good stuff, send it over. You won't be shortchanged."
"Definitely, definitely."
Feng Ye happily accepted the money, counted it himself, and then put it into his pocket with peace of mind.
"The money is correct, isn't it?"
"That's right, just in time. Let's go, Uncle Fa."
Feng Ye loaded the buckets and baskets onto the cart and was about to leave when he turned back and said, "Uncle Fa, don't tell anyone how much money I made today."
"Don't worry, my mouth is the tightest seal."
"I don't believe you. You're the one who spread the rumor about the giant manta ray. After the typhoon, the beach was packed with people. I didn't find anything. Even the rat-spotted fish was taken by someone else."
Feng Jiafa smiled awkwardly: "It was my fault last time, I will definitely keep my mouth shut this time."
"I'll trust you one more time. If there's a next time, I won't sell you my goods."
Feng Ye made a threat before pushing the cart home.
...
Seeing Feng Ye push the cart into the yard, Ye Qingling was quite surprised: "Why are you back so early? Didn't your older brother come back with you?"
"I came back as soon as I finished collecting the goods. My older brother is still casting his net in the sea."
