Everyone looked at Ye Cheng. The two people before him had gone down twice and hadn't found it, but Ye Cheng found it in just one trip. That was amazing.
"I've already told you, the second brother is protected by the Dragon King of the Sea, but you don't believe me." Wang Defa started trying to get attention again, but no one paid any attention to him.
"Yes, Ye Cheng, how did you find it?" Xiao Rou squatted down next to Ye Cheng, looking at him with shining eyes, completely like a curious and admiring girl.
Ye Cheng had a strange expression on his face. What could it be? Did he find this person because of a sea turtle?
He looked around, and everyone else was also very curious, even Old Li was listening intently.
"Forehead..."
"If I said I was chosen by hand, would you think that's reasonable?" Ye Cheng asked tentatively, looking nervously at everyone.
Everyone looked on in astonishment, unsure whether to believe me or not.
To say I believe it is a bit of a lie.
If you say you don't believe it, it seems hard to explain using common sense.
No one spoke, but Xiao Rou broke the silence first, giving Ye Cheng a sharp tap on the head.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You think you can find them just by counting soldiers and generals? Who are you trying to fool?"
Ye Cheng covered his head and glanced back at Xiao Rou. This girl seemed a bit violent.
However, her tapping the door shut down the issue, and no one pursued the matter further.
Old Li held Ye Cheng's hand gratefully and shook it vigorously, saying, "Young man, thank you so much. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda."
Ye Cheng was a little unaccustomed to such an old-fashioned compliment.
Although Director Zhao disliked Ye Cheng, he still came up and exchanged a few pleasantries as a way of thanking him.
Ye Cheng was now regretting not asking for the money. Damn it, he had gone through so much trouble to go down there and save the person, he should at least get five or ten thousand.
However, since he had said it was free, Ye Cheng couldn't go back on his word. He exchanged a few pleasantries with the group and then left, as it was getting late.
Before leaving, Old Li specifically stopped Ye Cheng and asked him if he had seen any boxes or anything like that.
Ye Cheng genuinely didn't see it, so he answered truthfully.
Although Old Li was a little disappointed, he didn't say much, and Ye Cheng was too lazy to ask.
Back on the boat, Wang Defa continued to grumble about why he wasn't paid for the work.
After Ye Cheng directly retorted, "Next time you should be sent down to earn money," he fell silent.
Back at the dock, it was already past 6 p.m. and dark. Ye Cheng didn't have much to sell today, just one coconut crab.
Several buyers gathered around, and after examining the coconut crabs, they began to haggle with Ye Cheng with great interest. In the end, they bought them at 300 yuan per jin (500 grams), for a total of 900 yuan.
Wang Defa stood aside watching and said with a grin, "Look, second brother, you're still making a profit."
"Second Uncle, you really are a dog." Ye Chengdu was too lazy to scold him anymore; he was convinced.
However, Wang Defa had no idea that Ye Cheng had brought back so many bird's nests. Xiao Hu had packed them all up and put them in an empty box. After returning home, Ye Cheng took out the bird's nests, planning to go to the city the next day to find someone to sell them.
He had planned to go straight to sleep, but before he did, he received a message from Jiang Yunxiang asking him to come over for lunch because her mother was coming.
Ye Cheng's lips twitched. Jiang Yunxiang's biological mother, huh.
Speaking of which, they are related to the Ye family by marriage. Although the Jiang family is not a wealthy family, it does not stop the old lady from looking down on the Ye family.
Every time they come, they find fault with everything they see, always feeling that their daughter should have been able to get ahead, but they just didn't think much of the Ye family back then.
He also had many complaints about his older brother, thinking he was too honest and didn't know how to make money.
As for his brother-in-law, there's no need to even look at him; he doesn't even want to glance at him.
To be honest, Ye Cheng definitely wouldn't have gone if Jiang Yunxiang hadn't called him.
After agreeing, Ye Cheng went to bed early; he was exhausted after a long day.
Before going to sleep, Ye Cheng recalled the giant sea turtle in the deep sea, especially the place where it last appeared. He should go there when no one was around.
Also, the last thing Old Li asked about was whether the box he was looking for was what they were going to salvage. Although he didn't dare to covet it, he was still a little curious.
As he pondered these thoughts, drowsiness overcame him, and Ye Cheng fell asleep.
The first thing I did after getting up the next morning was check the system.
Luck value: 20+20
Points: 3590.
Deposits: 60,000; Foreign debt: 40,000; Mortgage: 300,000 (including interest)
My points have increased by several hundred, which is a bit strange.
You know, yesterday Xiaohu and I only managed to get one coconut crab, and we also grilled some for ourselves, so the profit from that was definitely not much.
That means bird's nest is counted in the points system.
It seems that not only the fish catch, but other gains can also be counted as points, which is not bad.
Because he needed to rush back for lunch, Ye Cheng set off early, still unsure where he would sell the bird's nest.
He didn't want to look for Lao Zhao anymore. He was already incredibly capable of beachcombing, and if he were to get his hands on bird's nest, it would only attract jealousy, which wouldn't be a good thing.
He plans to find a place to recycle it himself.
Although Donghai City is not a first-tier city, as a coastal city, there are quite a few shops selling dried goods, but they mainly sell abalone and sea cucumbers, and there are no shops selling bird's nest separately.
Ye Cheng first found a shop selling dried seafood, saying he was there to sell something, and the owner seemed quite interested.
After all, this is a coastal city, and sometimes the fishermen have a lot of good stuff that is much better than what they buy.
However, when Ye Cheng took out a piece of bird's nest, the shopkeeper was a little disappointed. He carefully picked it up, looked at it, and then carefully put it down, shaking his head and saying...
"Brother, we seafood sellers don't understand bird's nest, so we dare not buy it."
After saying that, he ignored Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng visited two seafood stores in a row, and both were like this, which made him a little depressed.
Fortunately, the second shop owner pointed him in the right direction and told him to go to a health supplement shop, the kind that sells wild ginseng and American ginseng.
Ginseng, known as the king of herbs, has the power to bring the dead back to life.
Ginseng is widely recognized by the public, especially in this day and age. Without those technologically synthesized supplements that are heavily advertised, most people still choose natural supplements, and ginseng is the most common one.
Many people in later generations said that ginseng is just a radish and has no use at all, but if you actually let him eat a pound of ginseng, he would back down.
Nowadays, ginseng is mainly sold in traditional Chinese medicine shops. The most famous traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Donghai City is called Donghai Tongdetang, which is the one Ye Cheng went to.
As soon as you enter, you're greeted by the smell of Chinese medicine.
