Once all the goods were moved, the next step was weighing them, without stopping for a moment.
Weighing is not like carrying things; it's delicate work that requires patience and cannot afford to make mistakes.
Fortunately, several scales were in use at the same time, and the division of labor was clear: some people were responsible for moving the goods, some for weighing them, and others for recording the results.
Time flies by in the midst of our busy lives.
By the time all the goods had been weighed, the accounts settled, and the money received, it was already past 3 p.m.
Feng Ye estimated that the Dong Sheng ship caught about 150,000 jin (75 tons) of croaker.
When weighed, after deducting the weight of the basket, the net weight was nearly 3 tons more than expected.
This was after giving Fengshou 2,000 jin as payment.
At a price of 0.88 cents per unit, there are a total of [number] yuan.
In addition, there was a day's worth of trawling cargo, which also made a considerable amount of money, more than 4,000 yuan.
In other words, this sales trip brought in a total income of just over 140,000 yuan.
Feng Ye couldn't stop smiling.
The bag he had brought specifically to carry his money was now stuffed full, almost bursting at the seams.
This wave earned them half the money of the Purple Aura ship.
Ah-Can and Xiao Zhaojun, who were standing to the side, were also beaming with joy.
The number of Plumbago bream that Fengshouhao.com received was even smaller, but it still weighed about 1 jin (500 grams), and with other goods, it was worth more than 90,000 yuan.
After the bill was settled, Boss He reminded him, "There are some thugs in the crowd outside. I suspect they're after you."
You'd better not linger at the dock. Once you leave, go straight back to the ship and sail away.
"I've noticed that too."
Mr. Liu also said, "For safety's sake, it's best to just sail home and not even bother going out to fish again."
Upon hearing this, the smiles on the three faces vanished, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Feng Ye glanced at the crowd outside and immediately felt that no one had good intentions; they were all like hungry wolves eyeing a big piece of fat meat.
He secretly became wary.
I remember the last time I came here to sell goods, I sensed that someone had ill intentions.
However, for some reason, those people did not take action last time.
But this time, things might be different.
The money he and Xiao Zhaojun had together was much more than last time, a full 200,000 yuan.
This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
These days, a few thousand dollars can buy a life.
Moreover, more than 200,000 yuan is enough to make people envious and tempted, and thus take risks.
"Mr. He, where is the nearest bank? How far is it?"
If it's nearby, Feng Ye plans to deposit the money first.
As long as the money isn't on your person, it's relatively safe.
"It's a bit far, and the risk is even higher on the way to the bank. You might as well just leave by boat."
Mr. He shook his head. "I can guarantee your safety inside the store, but once you leave, I can't do anything about it."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye's expression turned serious: "Boss He, Boss Liu, thank you for reminding me."
Mr. He sighed: "Sigh, I didn't want to see anything happen to you. I was hoping you could still sell me goods in the future."
"If something really happens to you, where am I supposed to find such a good source of goods?"
He made a lot of money the first two times.
This time the quantity is even larger, so he will only earn more, and of course he hopes there will be a next collaboration.
Then, Mr. He added, "By the way, you'd better be careful on your way back. I'm worried they might chase you by boat."
"We will be careful."
Feng Ye thanked him again, then looked at Xiao Zhaojun.
The two exchanged glances and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"It seems we need to make some preparations," Feng Ye said in a deep voice.
Xiao Zhaojun nodded: "That's right, we need to be careful."
After discussing it, the two decided to have Ah-Can go back to the boat and call all the boatmen over.
That way, if a fight really breaks out, they won't be too isolated and outnumbered.
After they finished weighing the goods, the boatmen had already carried the baskets back to the boat, and they didn't come back for the last trip.
When Feng Ye asked A-Can to call the boatmen, he specifically instructed him: "A-Can, when you go back, tell the boatmen to bring their tools, just in case."
Ah-Can's expression also turned serious: "I know, Ye-ge, be careful."
After saying that, he turned around and ran quickly towards the dock.
Not long after, Ah-Can arrived in a hurry with the crew of the Dong Sheng and Feng Shou ships.
Upon hearing that trouble might be brewing, the boatmen all became serious, their eyes flashing with a fierce light.
They also got a share of that money.
If they really get robbed, who will they ask for their commission from?
Therefore, they all came over eager to fight, carrying all sorts of weapons, including knives, sticks, harpoons, and so on.
They brought over anything that could be used as a weapon.
In particular, some of the people had concealed the weapons they were carrying by putting them into snakeskin bags.
But anyone with a discerning eye can tell that those are firearms.
Ah-chan is one of them.
He brought the only gun from the Dong Sheng ship.
Seeing this, Feng Ye nodded to himself, feeling much more at ease.
With these things around, those with ill intentions should think twice.
As soon as A-Can and the boatmen arrived, they surrounded Feng Ye and Xiao Zhaojun and led them out.
They were all very vigilant, their eyes darting around, observing their surroundings.
They will not hesitate to take action against anyone who acts out of line.
Upon seeing this, the crowd stepped back, making way for them.
While most of the people there envied and were jealous of their gains, they wouldn't stray down the path of illegality and crime.
I was just driven by curiosity to watch the excitement, and I didn't want to get involved and get beaten up for no reason.
However, a small number of people, driven by greed, had shifty eyes and seemed somewhat unwilling to give up.
Even after Feng Ye and the others had made their way through the crowd, they had not given up.
There are quite a few people in this group, numbering as many as twenty or thirty.
They were simply afraid of the weapons in the hands of the crowd.
Especially the guns in Ah-Can's and his gang's hands.
For a moment, they dared not make any further moves, only daring to follow behind, maintaining a certain distance.
Feng Ye, who had been on guard, also noticed these people. To avoid any unforeseen complications, he whispered to Xiao Zhaojun, "Uncle Jun, run! Get back to the ship quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already started running at top speed.
Xiao Zhaojun immediately followed suit.
The money is all with those two; once they're on the ship, they'll be safe.
Ah-chan and his companions did not immediately follow, but instead kept a watchful eye on the people trailing behind them, and slowly retreated toward the Dong Sheng and Feng Shou ships docked at the pier.
Only after Feng Ye and Xiao Zhaojun had run onto the boat in one go did they turn around and rush back to their respective ships.
