One reason is that it wasn't expensive to begin with, and another is that the ink sprayed out by these slugs made patches of black stains on the clothes.
This stuff is a bit hard to wash. Jiang Yunxiang might have the patience to wash it, but Ye Cheng doesn't have that inclination.
After a good night's sleep, Ye Cheng called President Qian the next morning to see if he could accept all the gifts.
Upon hearing about the tigerfish and mantis shrimp, Mr. Qian immediately drove out to pick them up himself.
This kind of seafood is rare, delicious, and not too expensive, making it perfect for a seafood restaurant like his.
Old Qian was quite fast. Ye Cheng had just finished breakfast, and it was only 7:30 when Boss Qian arrived.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qian, to have to make this trip in person." Ye Cheng said politely.
Mr. Qian handed Ye Cheng a cigarette familiarly, "Brother, you're too kind. I've really benefited from you getting some good stuff; my business has become much easier now."
"Come on, let me see how many there are."
"There's quite a lot, take a look."
Ye Cheng led President Qian to the courtyard, where everything was packed away; otherwise, they would have suffocated overnight.
"This is a mandarin fish, this is a goby, this is a yellow clam. There aren't many varieties, but there's a lot of them."
"Holy crap! Bro, did you raid Wangchao's whole hometown? There's so much stuff here." Boss Qian was stunned.
"It is quite a lot, so I'm asking if you can finish it." Ye Cheng was also a little worried; if Mr. Qian couldn't finish it, he would have to contact someone else.
"You have to be able to eat it. There are many people who love mantis shrimp, so don't worry. If you really can't eat it, I'll sell it to my colleagues, and they'll owe me a favor." Boss Qian laughed heartily, feeling that this guy always told the truth.
"Let me pick out some sea snails. The big ones are 10 yuan each, and the small ones are 5 yuan each, okay?" Mr. Qian quoted a price.
"Okay, but it's a bit much and a bit of a hassle." The price of Wangchao is just this, and the size is really just a matter of conscience, there are no very strict standards.
"Well, I brought some people with me, so don't worry." Boss Qian brought two assistants with him this time, and he had them start packaging the food.
"I'll charge you 100 yuan per catty for crab goby, you definitely won't lose out, brother."
If 100 yuan per catty is a reasonable price for crab goby, you can imagine how much it would cost to sell to customers.
The price of the crab goby was relatively easy to calculate; we just weighed it directly. It weighed 43 jin (approximately 21.5 catties) in total, which came to 4300 yuan.
Then there are yellow clams. These are priced at 15 yuan per jin (500g), so a total of 52 jin (21.5kg) would cost 780 yuan.
Counting the tides takes a little longer, so Mr. Qian started counting them himself.
When others were calculating the money, Ye Cheng felt embarrassed to get involved and could only stand aside.
Just then, a voice came from the doorway, "Second brother, are you home?"
Ye Cheng looked outside and frowned immediately. Why were they there?
"Uncle Jinshui, you've arrived," Ye Cheng said calmly.
Outside the door stood Chen Jinshui and two young men, the Chen brothers: Chen Zhangfu and Chen Zhanglong. If they weren't carrying things, Ye Cheng would have thought they were there to fight.
This was just a fight, and it was these two brothers who came out worse off.
"What, you're not welcoming Uncle Jinshui?" Chen Jinshui swaggered in, followed by the Chen brothers who looked embarrassed.
"No, of course we welcome your Uncle Jinshui, but as for the others..." Ye Cheng's implication was clear: he wasn't very welcoming to the Chen brothers.
Chen Jinshui chuckled awkwardly. He was only doing this because someone had asked him to; otherwise, who would bother with such an embarrassing situation?
I originally wanted to come early in the morning to apologize so there would be fewer people, but I didn't expect that someone would come to collect my things so early in the morning.
Mr. Qian looked up and realized that the relationship between them was not simple, so he continued to do his work with his head down.
"Second brother, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. What happened last time was indeed the fault of my two nephews. I brought them here to apologize to you. Let's just consider it over and done with it."
After Chen Jinshui finished speaking, he turned to the two brothers behind him and said, "Hurry up and bring the things up."
The two brothers awkwardly took the gifts from their hands and handed them to Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng glanced at the package: two bottles of liquor and two packs of cigarettes, which came to several hundred yuan. He figured that was a generous offer.
But, so what?
It's none of my business; I'm not short of money.
Seeing Ye Cheng standing there without taking the things, the two brothers looked embarrassed, unsure whether to take them back or continue holding them.
At this point, it was time for Chen Jinshui to step in.
He chuckled, grabbed the item, and shoved it into Ye Cheng's arms. "Alright, second brother, your fishing skills were taught by your uncle, so give your uncle some face."
Ye Cheng rolled his eyes. Is this the time to talk about this?
However, since Chen Jinshui had pressed him down so hard, he felt embarrassed to refuse, so he could only hug him and put him behind him.
Seeing that Ye Cheng accepted it, Chen Jinshui and the other two finally smiled. "Haha, that's good, isn't it?"
"By the way, second brother, did you catch all this while beachcombing? There's so much!" Chen Jinshui pointed towards Boss Qian's side.
“Yes, this was done by Xiao Ye, I’ll collect it.” Boss Qian looked up and gave a sweet smile.
The two Chen brothers were dumbfounded. So many tidal bores! Ye Cheng was either going to the beach or ransacking the house.
And you think this offended the Dragon King of the Sea? Do you think we're fools?
The two brothers looked at Ye Cheng with admiration. Chen Zhangfu asked in surprise, "Brother Cheng, did you get all of this?"
Ye Cheng glanced at him and replied, "And Xiao Hu and my brother and sister-in-law."
"How much would this cost?" Chen Zhanglong couldn't help but rub his hands together.
Mr. Qian stood up and said, "I've counted them. There are 4,530 small ones and 280 large ones. The total is 5,450 yuan."
"So many!" The Chen brothers were shocked. There were just too many.
Chen Jinshui was also a little surprised, but as an elder, seeing their naive and unsophisticated expressions, he quickly coughed.
"It's alright, you two should be mindful of your appearance."
Mr. Qian seemed to have figured things out and continued, "This is the mantis shrimp, and there's also the tiger crab for 4300 and the yellow clams for 780. That's a total of [amount] yuan."
"More than ten thousand?!" Chen Jinshui couldn't help but exclaim, this really was a bit too much.
Ye Cheng glanced at President Qian speechlessly; this old guy was up to something.
He coughed and said, "Mr. Qian, please pay up quickly."
"Okay." Boss Qian readily pulled out a wad of banknotes and counted them out for Ye Cheng.
The three members of the Chen family were practically green with envy when they saw such a thick wad of cash.
Ye Cheng counted the money and quickly put it back in his pocket.
"Well, Xiao Ye, we're leaving now. You guys continue." Mr. Qian chuckled and took his leave.
After Mr. Qian left, Chen Jinshui said, "Second brother, if you have the chance, you should also mentor my two nephews. They are both strong, hardworking, and willing to endure hardship."
