I must say, this guy is actually pretty fast.
When Ye Cheng finished his third cigarette, he finally ran back, panting heavily.
However, no one followed him.
"Brother, I'm back. How was it? Wasn't that fast?" Xiao Hu panted, his hands on his knees.
"Yeah, you're fast. If you were in the tortoise and the hare race, you'd definitely be number one." Ye Cheng gave a thumbs up.
Hearing this, Little Tiger exclaimed happily, "That's right, I run much faster than a rabbit!"
Ye Cheng rolled his eyes at him. "Sorry, in the tortoise and the hare race, the tortoise won, so your speed is only faster than the tortoise's."
Xiaohu:...
Are you kidding me?
"Where is Widow Zhang?" Ye Cheng looked behind him.
“She’s here, but she’s slow.” Little Tiger paused for a moment, then continued, “slower than a tortoise.”
Xiao Hu smoked a cigarette, but Ye Cheng stopped. Smoking continuously isn't smoking; it's suicide.
After finishing his cigarette, Widow Zhang arrived.
"Acheng, what do you need me to do?" Widow Zhang asked happily. She had another 100 yuan. This Ye Cheng was even bigger than a big boss.
"Well, Auntie, these are all the goods we got today. Please keep an eye on them and make sure they don't escape."
"That's easy! No problem. Auntie is known for her speed; I guarantee they won't get away."
Xiao Hu even specifically pointed out the location of the moray eel, "Well, that moray eel just ran from here, Auntie, please keep an eye out for it later."
“OK!” Widow Zhang made a stylish gesture.
Just as Ye Cheng was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Widow Zhang, and asked, "Auntie, how was your beachcombing today?"
"Oh dear, how can we compare to you guys when it comes to beachcombing? We only managed to catch two pounds of red ridge fish and some king clams." Widow Zhang spoke modestly, but she couldn't suppress the smirk playing on her lips.
Ye Cheng nodded slightly. It seemed that everyone had a good harvest today. He should have a share of the ordinary person's income, and another share of the income from the luck bonus.
Since everyone has had a good day, my own earnings should be even higher.
There's still potential.
Having finalized their strategy, Ye Cheng led Xiao Hu forward a little further, where there were still many rocky pits.
The two fought for another hour on the beach, getting two large buckets of red thorns, which made Widow Zhang's eyes red with envy.
Why are there so many of you?
Looking at the tiny amount of kala-yum in my bucket, I suddenly lost interest.
"Auntie, what's this? Look at this bag." Little Tiger proudly opened the bag containing the red-spotted fish in the large flat.
Widow Zhang glanced down and froze instantly, pointing at the contents inside, speechless.
"You...you people actually..."
Ye Cheng quickly stopped her, "Auntie, you've said it all. It sounds like we're murdering and dismembering someone."
Widow Zhang stamped her foot. "I can accept that you killed and dismembered people, but I really can't understand how you two managed to get two such big red-spotted fish."
Ye Cheng was speechless. Was this guy really that fierce? He even killed and dismembered people.
"Alright, that's about enough. Auntie, could you keep an eye on it for me a little longer? I'll have someone come and collect it. Xiao Hu and I are going to take another stroll on the beach."
He had already called Mr. Qian when he had a spare moment, and Mr. Qian readily agreed to come and collect it.
Widow Zhang couldn't listen to anything anymore; she just put her head in the bag, admiring the red-spotted fish and making clicking noises.
Ye Cheng shook his head and continued strolling on the beach with Xiao Hu. This luck value of 100 was a bit high; even now, they could still find seafood.
After walking a few steps, Ye Cheng saw a bubble rising on the mudflat. He picked up a shovel and gently dug along the edge, encountering something hard.
It was quite large, and since it was so hard, it must be a seashell. He put down the shovel and dug a few times with his hands, pulling a large seashell out of the mudflats, with a long piece of shell meat sticking out.
This is geoduck. Ye Cheng used to love eating it. Geoduck is very crisp when served as sashimi, and adding ice underneath helps to maintain its texture.
This thing wasn't cheap either, but Ye Cheng accepted it without hesitation.
Not long after we finished shopping and picked up some more clams, Mr. Qian called to say he had arrived.
Ye Cheng called out to Xiao Hu and Widow Zhang to help carry the things towards the village entrance.
A few villagers were still scattered on the beach, gathering seafood. After the storm, there was plenty of stuff, and everyone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get as much as possible.
"Second brother, you've got so much stuff! What big shipment did you get?" Aunt Zhao looked up and asked curiously.
"Yeah, I got a little bit, Auntie. I've called someone to come and collect it. If you're selling your stuff, you can come and sell it too," Ye Cheng shouted.
"Oh, someone's here to buy them? Great, I'll just bring mine here to sell too." As soon as Aunt Zhao heard that someone was buying them, she immediately headed towards the village entrance. If she were to sell them herself, she would have to walk all the way to the dock. It was perfect that someone was here.
Several other villagers chimed in, "Second brother, shall we take ours?"
"Uncle, Aunt, let's go together. They work at a restaurant, so they can charge higher prices."
"A restaurant? A restaurant is great. Let's go check out the prices."
With just a casual call, almost everyone in the village who went to the beach followed.
The large, dark crowd startled Mr. Qian, who quickly got back into his car, thinking they were there to start a fight.
Only when he saw Ye Cheng arrive did President Qian get out of the car somewhat nervously and cautiously ask, "Little Ye, why are there so many people?"
"Oh, I heard you came to buy and sell seafood."
Upon hearing that they were there to sell goods, Boss Qian breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered to Ye Cheng, "Xiao Ye, we're all acquaintances. Let me be clear from the start, I definitely won't accept anything that's too bad, because even if I did, I wouldn't be able to sell it."
Ye Cheng smiled understandingly and patted him on the shoulder, "President Qian, don't worry, you can accept it however you want, don't worry about my feelings."
"I'm relieved to hear that, haha."
To be honest, if Ye Cheng insisted that he accept it, he would have no choice but to accept it in order to keep Ye Cheng as a major supplier. However, once this precedent is set, it will be difficult to handle in the future.
"By the way, did you buy a few water tanks for me?" Ye Cheng asked.
"I bought it. Here, let me show you."
Ye Cheng is increasingly feeling that snakeskin bags are no longer suitable; water tanks are much better. Fish tanks, like those used by anglers in later generations, have all sorts of functions. He doesn't need so many functions; he just needs them to keep him alive for the time being.
This time, Mr. Qian brought Ye Cheng two water tanks. They weren't very big, but they should be enough to hold some high-end goods.
"Okay, not bad, I'll give you the money in a bit." Ye Cheng was quite satisfied.
After inspecting the water tank, Mr. Qian began to officially receive the goods. He first collected the belongings of a few villagers to avoid having so many people gathered around, which could be intimidating.
