Feng Ye followed Xiao Zhaojun for a while until they reached a fork in the road, where they parted ways.
When they arrived at Feng Jiafa's house, they found the gate closed, but not locked.
Clearly, someone was home.
He shouted loudly, "Uncle Fa, Uncle Fa, are you home?"
After shouting a few times, Feng Jiafa's annoyed voice came from inside the room: "Call me injustice! Disturbing my sleep so early in the morning."
Feng Ye walked to the window, reached out and pulled back the curtains, and saw Feng Jiafa lying sprawled out, wearing only his underwear.
"Uncle Fa, get up, the sun's already high in the sky."
Feng Jiafa lazily rolled over, opened his eyes for a glance, and immediately closed them again: "Spit it out, I want to sleep."
"Sleep my ass! You'll have plenty of time to sleep when you're dead. Get up and go to the docks to collect my cargo."
"Damn it, how old am I? You're already cursing me to die."
"Where did I curse you? Isn't birth, aging, sickness, and death a normal thing? Do you want to be an immortal old man?"
"When did you become so talkative, kid?"
"Get up quickly, Uncle Fa. I'm going out to sea this afternoon and I have a lot of preparations to make. I don't have time to waste."
"Alright, alright, I'll get up, okay?"
Feng Jiafa sat up helplessly, rubbed his eyes, and muttered as he dressed, "I didn't finish until almost one o'clock last night, and I was hoping to sleep in. You really know how to make things difficult, coming over so early in the morning..."
Since they were already so familiar with each other, Feng Ye didn't hold back and retorted, "What are you complaining about? What's wrong? You're not happy about making money? If you don't want it, I'll go find Lao Zhu or Lao Lin."
"No, no, no, who said I'm not happy?"
Feng Jiafa quickened his dressing pace, afraid that Feng Ye would really find someone else. "I just haven't had enough sleep and am venting. Who would turn down money?"
He didn't want the duck that had been delivered to his hands to fly away.
Although shellfish aren't very valuable, every little bit helps, and you can still make a little money.
Moreover, he also knew that Feng Ye and the other two were the ones who brought the most money home.
"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to wash my face."
Feng Jiafa dressed neatly, went out to say something, then turned around and went into the kitchen to fetch water to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Feng Ye stood at the door, waiting patiently.
A little while later, Feng Jiafa finished washing up and felt a bit more refreshed. The two of them went out together and headed towards the dock.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go out to sea? The waves shouldn't recede that quickly, right?"
"The waves are still quite big, but our big ships can go out without any problems."
"That's true, larger ships are more resistant to wind and waves and are also safer."
"Yes, I saw the sea conditions this morning and decided to go out to sea on short notice, which is why I came to call you so early to collect the goods."
Feng Jiafa cautioned, "But we must be extra careful. The waves are unforgiving and not to be trifled with. We don't know what the situation is like in the open sea."
"I know, I'll be careful. If the waves are too big out at sea, I definitely won't be reckless."
Feng Ye nodded. "The goods have been delivered to the dock, and now we're just waiting for you to collect them."
The two talked all the way and soon arrived at the dock.
There were more people at the dock now, mostly fishermen who came out to watch the waves.
Some people bring goods to sell, and they are all queuing up, waiting for someone to come and collect them.
Yesterday's queue for selling goods was too long, and some people didn't want to wait long, so they brought their goods over to sell today.
Feng Xuan and A Can also brought over their respective goods, as well as the goods harvested by the fish traps.
Feng Ye pointed to the crowd in line: "Look, Lao Zhu and Lao Lin haven't come over yet. These are all yours. If it weren't for me, you might have missed out."
Feng Jiafa glanced at it, secretly relieved, but said jokingly, "So, I should thank you?"
Feng Ye chuckled and said, "No need for thanks, just give me a good price."
"You wish..."
As Feng Jiafa spoke, he opened the shop door, brought out the scale, and began weighing the items.
The first thing to mention is Feng Ye's goods.
He also helped by lifting baskets of goods onto the scale.
After all the goods were weighed, Feng Jiafa had written a long, densely packed list of goods in his hand.
There are many goods, and many kinds.
Even if the prices are the same, different varieties still need to be distinguished.
Feng Jiafa fiddled with the abacus beads for a while and finally came up with the total amount: "It's 406 yuan in total."
This number was within Feng Ye's expectations.
Despite the large quantity of goods, totaling over a thousand kilograms, the average price per unit is not high.
Most shellfish are relatively cheap, costing only a few cents per pound, or even just a few cents. Only a few types are more expensive, such as scallops and snow frogs.
Feng Ye took the money, counted it, pulled out a 100-yuan note, and handed it to Ye Chenliang: "This is your share."
Ye Chenliang didn't pretend to be polite and happily accepted it.
This typhoon brought him more than 600 yuan in income, and he really wanted to say, "This typhoon is a good thing."
But he dared not say it aloud, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
After all, typhoons have caused some damage to many households.
People are cursing the heavens, and you say the typhoon is good? Isn't that just adding fuel to the fire?
On the other side, Feng Ye put the money in his pocket but did not leave immediately. He continued to weigh baskets of seafood.
Next, we'll talk about the catch from the fish traps.
In comparison, the harvest from the ground trap is much smaller, only a little over 2,800 jin, but it sells for more money, as much as 537 yuan.
