There were only four stingrays, and their weight was easy to calculate. The total weight was 1924 jin (approximately 6541.6 yuan).
The golden pomfret weighs 3266 jin (approximately 1638 kg), and its price is 1.25 yuan, totaling 4082.5 yuan.
Then, the bigeye bream, squid, swimming crab, etc., together cost a total of 4860.7 yuan.
After calculating it once, the boss checked it again with a calculator.
"I'll toss it up by 2 cents, that'll be 1 dollar. Check the receipt, and if it's correct, I'll pay you."
Feng Ye is alright; his performance is fairly normal.
Although this figure is two or three thousand yuan more than expected, it is still within expectations.
At the time, he was really unsure about the price of stingrays, which is why he was hesitant in his estimate.
Who would have thought that stingrays would fetch such a high price, reaching 3.4 yuan?
Ah-Can, however, was extremely excited, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe he had made so much money.
He snatched the bill from the shopkeeper and carefully checked it.
Once, twice, three times...
They were afraid that the boss had miscalculated the accounts and given them too little money.
After checking it several times and confirming that it was correct, he finally felt relieved.
Then, he looked at Feng Ye and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Ye, we...we really sold it for that much money?"
Feng Ye smiled and said, "Isn't it written in black and white?"
He took the order, checked it carefully, and nodded after confirming that it was correct: "That's right, that's the number."
The boss didn't say anything more. He took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from the drawer, counted them, and handed them to Feng Ye.
With such a large store and such a thriving business, he certainly has enough cash on hand and doesn't need to incur debts.
Moreover, strangers wouldn't allow debts to be paid in advance; all transactions are cash-based.
Feng Ye took the large wad of banknotes, counted them with A-Can, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he stuff them into his handbag.
He dared not casually put such a large sum of money into his pocket.
If he accidentally drops it, or if someone steals it, he'll have nowhere to cry.
Didn't you notice that his satchel was always hanging in front of his chest?
It's all to keep the money within their sight.
After putting the money away, Feng Ye looked at the boss and smiled, "Boss, thank you very much. It's been a pleasure doing business with you."
If I have the chance to come here to sell my goods again next time, I'll come back to you, and remember to give me a fair price.
The boss laughed and said, "No problem, no problem. As long as you're willing to come, I'll definitely give you a fair price."
"Alright, we'll be going now, so as not to delay your business."
"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."
"No need to see me off..."
Feng Ye gripped his bag tightly with both hands and left the purchasing point with A-Can, heading towards the Dong Sheng ship docked at the pier.
Both of them had undisguised smiles on their faces, and their steps were light and quick, as if even the air was filled with joy.
At this time, there were hardly any people watching near the Dong Sheng; everyone was busy with their own things.
However, the faint whispers still mentioned their earlier sale of goods.
Back on the ship, Feng Jialing and the crew had almost finished cleaning the fish hold and deck.
Seeing Feng Ye and A-Can return, Feng Jialing asked, "How did it go? Did you get the money settled?"
"They're all here."
Feng Ye patted his satchel and then said, "Uncle, hurry up and set sail, we need to leave immediately."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Feng Jialing also realized what was happening and quickly ran to the driver's seat.
With so much money on the ship, it would be too unsafe to continue anchoring here.
Being unfamiliar with the area, who knows what's going on at this dock?
Even if the fishmonger doesn't have any bad intentions, what about the others?
That's over ten thousand yuan! How many people can resist the temptation?
Moreover, the security situation isn't great these days, and it's hard to say whether there are any thugs or hooligans around the docks.
If it gets robbed or stolen, then we're doomed.
So we need to leave quickly; things will be fine once we get to the sea.
You can tell at a glance if someone has bad intentions.
Moreover, they can also take timely and targeted countermeasures, either escaping by boat or displaying weapons as a deterrent.
Unfortunately, Feng Ye had originally planned to have dinner before going out to sea, but now he could only grab something to eat on the boat.
With the engine starting and a roaring sound, the Dong Sheng slowly sailed away from the dock and headed towards the vast sea.
After sailing quite a distance and seeing no boats following behind, Feng Ye, A-Can, and Feng Jialing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Ye stood on the aft deck, looking towards the dock, afraid that someone would come out in a boat to chase after them.
Seeing that there was no potential danger, he called Ah-Can and they went to the sleeping pod together to put the money away.
In their cabin, there was a fixed box where they kept their money, secured with a lock, ensuring its safety.
Moreover, to enter the sleeping pod, one must pass through the cockpit.
The only ones operating the boat were him and his son, Ah-Can. They would know immediately who went inside.
Although the boatmen were all their relatives, they still had to be careful.
After settling the money, Feng Ye breathed a sigh of relief and threw himself onto the narrow bed.
"Having so much money in your hands must be really exciting."
"Back on Changgu Island, didn't we have more money on the ship? You didn't seem this nervous then."
Ah-Can asked, somewhat puzzled.
"That's different."
