"It's no trouble at all. You're a young person, career is important, but family is important too. You're in your prime now, if you don't find someone now, are you going to wait until you're 30?"
Ye Cheng looked at Old Wang with a strange expression. Why was this old guy suddenly so enthusiastic? He had never asked about this kind of thing before.
Suddenly, he sensed something and looked at Xiaorou.
Xiao Rou happened to be looking at him too. The two exchanged glances and instantly understood what Lao Wang meant.
"Damn it! Old Wang, I genuinely considered you a brother, and now you want to be my father? How can you face me like this?" Ye Cheng shouted.
Old Wang: ...
I'm not your brother at all, I'm about the same age as your father.
Xiao Rou was about to curse her father, but Ye Cheng's words made her burst out laughing, and even clams flew out of her mouth.
"Ye Cheng, you...you're toxic! You're going to make me laugh to death! You call my dad 'big brother' and me 'little sister,' so does that mean my dad and I are siblings too? Hahahaha."
Old Wang took a deep breath and solemnly reminded himself, "My own flesh and blood, my own flesh and blood."
Damn, young people these days are so hard to communicate with, they're all so crazy.
Never mind, never mind.
If I keep meddling, I might end up looking like a junior myself.
But in the end, Old Wang couldn't help but say something.
"Well, if you two are interested, I don't really mind. You can give it a try."
"Dad! What are you saying?" Xiao Rou blushed instantly upon hearing this. She may be outgoing, but that doesn't mean she wasn't shy.
Ye Cheng quickly lowered his head and pretended to drink tea. Damn it, this is so ridiculous.
Xiao Rou is nice, but I still have Yang Liu, don't I?
Hmm, the use of the word "still" is quite good.
So, there are two?
Ye Cheng's thoughts began to wander. What man wouldn't want a few more female confidantes? If they could fly together, well, that's a bit... hahaha, indescribable, indescribable.
Just as he was thinking about having a good time, Ye Cheng suddenly felt a hard knock on the head.
"Ouch, who is it?" Ye Cheng cried out, covering his head.
He looked up and saw Xiao Rou staring intently at him. "Ye Cheng, what's with that expression? It's obviously something filthy."
Caught red-handed, Ye Cheng's expression turned serious. He absolutely couldn't admit it now.
"How could that be? I'm thinking about the impact of tariffs and currency exchange rates on future economic trends, the impact of the melting of the North and South Poles on humanity, and whether there are more advanced life forms in outer space. These are all major issues related to human survival, how could they be sordid things?"
Xiao Rou looked at him with a puzzled expression. These things sounded strange, and she didn't know whether Ye Cheng was telling the truth or not.
Anyway, Ye Cheng's expression was exactly the same as that of a pervert on TV.
After lunch, the car that Lao Wang had called arrived—a large truck with a crane, since it would be difficult to lift it up by hand.
When such a big guy arrived in the village, the villagers naturally gathered around to watch the spectacle.
After watching for a while, they saw a car leaving Ye Cheng's house with a piece of wood wrapped up tightly, which puzzled everyone greatly.
"People these days are so strange, coming to our fishing boats to haul wood."
"I guess it's some kind of unique design. I've heard that some bosses like things like wood carvings."
"We just can't understand the world of the rich."
"But Ye Lao Er is quite something, he can even sell a piece of wood for money, I just wonder how much?"
"How much can a piece of wood sell for? I think a piece this big is worth at most a thousand yuan."
...
After seeing Lao Wang off, Ye Cheng counted the more than 90,000 yuan in his hand. In the end, this piece of ebony weighed less than a ton and a half, which came to just over 90,000 yuan. After all this trouble, damn it, this is all he got.
Had I been tricked by Lao Wang? This guy seemed more cunning than me.
Just you wait. If I find out I've been tricked, I'll catch up with Xiaorou and then dump her.
But thinking about Xiaorou's long legs, it seems a bit hard to let her go.
Of the 90,000 yuan, Ye Cheng gave 10,000 yuan to his elder brother, 20,000 yuan to Xiao Hu, and kept 60,000 yuan for himself.
I currently have 250,000 yuan in savings, 30,000 yuan in debt, and a 300,000 yuan mortgage.
It feels like I have more money than I can spend.
This time, the ebony has also caused my points to increase significantly, reaching 9300 points. Just a little more and I can upgrade to the advanced breeding system.
Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Ye Cheng went to check on the crayfish nursery. The pregnant female crayfish had already given birth to crayfish, which Duan Yong had moved to the pond next door.
Looking at the pool full of small kalami, Ye Cheng was very pleased; this was the first step.
Meanwhile, in the breeding pond, more than a dozen female shrimp became pregnant, and everything was on track.
The only thing that hasn't been fixed yet is the two aquaculture ponds. There's no way around it; a lot of earth needs to be dug, and a water diversion system also needs to be added, so it can't be done quickly.
In addition, Duan Yong mentioned that Chen Zhangfu's two ponds had been dug, one large and one small.
The smaller one has already started releasing the crayfish for breeding, but we don't know the specifics.
Now, the price of crayfish that Yuan Jiansheng buys has risen to 3.2 yuan, and the price is rising rapidly. City dwellers are gradually accepting crayfish, and sales are starting to surge. However, the supply of raw materials is becoming increasingly scarce due to seasonal factors.
Regarding sales, Ye Cheng also discussed it with General Manager Qian, and they raised the price by one yuan. There was no other way, otherwise the profit would be too low.
If this continues, Ye Cheng estimates that when his first batch of shrimp comes out, he might be able to sell it for five yuan a pound, or even more.
Because these are farmed crayfish. Other farmed seafood is cheaper, but crayfish are different; farmed ones are more expensive because they are cleaner.
With the village affairs mostly settled, Ye Cheng made an appointment with Duan Chunsheng to go out to sea with him the next day.
There were so many blue crabs in the mangroves on the island before, and we hadn't caught them all yet. I wouldn't be satisfied if I didn't go back for another trip.
Duan Chunsheng was also called on because the area was quite large, and having an extra person would help them finish cleaning up sooner.
The next morning, Ye Cheng checked the system:
Luck value: 70+20
Points: 9300
Savings: 250,000; Foreign debt: 30,000; Mortgage: 300,000
Well, it's decent, nothing special, but it's enough.
Duan Chunsheng was already waiting for them at the village entrance. When he saw Ye Cheng coming, he quickly greeted him.
"What, going out during the day, planning to cast a net a few times?"
"No, Uncle Duan, we're going to go beachcombing today to catch blue crabs."
"Huh? Beachcombing?" Duan Chunsheng was taken aback, thinking it meant going to pull in a net.
"Uncle, just come with us, we definitely won't let you suffer any losses," Xiao Hu said.
"Okay, I'll go with it!"
Ye Cheng glanced at the tools in Duan Chunsheng's hand, then told him to go back and get a pair of pliers before they set off together.
Since we were going beachcombing, there was no need to use two boats. We just used Ye Cheng's own boat, three people in one boat, which would save us some fuel money.
