Upon seeing Ye Cheng and his two companions approaching, Zhu Liwen and his companion immediately stood up.
"Brother Cheng, we brought the chicken."
Next to Zhu Liwen were two large chicken coops, with a total of 20 chickens.
Ye Cheng was genuinely surprised that they had arrived so early.
"You arrived so early?"
"Yes, I was afraid of interfering with your business."
Ye Cheng's expression froze when he saw the carrying pole next to the chicken coop.
"There's no shuttle bus this early, you didn't just pick one out, did you?"
Zhu Liwen smiled honestly, "Yeah, I picked out twenty chickens, they're not heavy."
They're good brothers who've shared a drink together, and Xiao Hu felt a little reluctant to do it. It takes 40 minutes to ride a motorcycle, and walking would take two or three hours.
"Old Zhu, why don't you guys buy a motorcycle? Walking like this is too tiring."
Zhu Liwen chuckled awkwardly, a little reserved, "I haven't made any money yet, why would I buy a motorcycle? I'll buy one when I've made some money."
Ye Cheng didn't say much, he just waved his hand and said, "Then come with me, we'll go deliver the chickens."
"Uncle Duan, Xiao Hu, you two go on the boat first."
Zhu Liwen carried the chicken coop, with Zhu Lao Er following behind, and the three of them walked on the dock.
The scene left passersby dumbfounded.
These three were all prominent figures, and the bloody battle at the docks hadn't even lasted long. How did things turn out like this?
Ye Cheng walked ahead nonchalantly, and Zhu Laoda, who was behind him, not only didn't seem annoyed, but also obediently followed behind, carrying two cages of chickens, acting like a follower.
This doesn't look like a reconciliation; it feels more like they've gained a subordinate.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Ye Cheng led Boss Zhu into Boss He's purchasing station.
"Old He, Old He!" Ye Cheng shouted as soon as he entered.
"Here it is, who is it?"
Old He crawled out of the warehouse and saw that it was Ye Cheng. A smile immediately appeared on his face, but then he looked back.
He froze, his smile frozen on his face.
What a sight this is!
Zhu Liwen actually followed behind Ye Cheng, carrying two cages of chickens.
Yesterday, Ye Cheng said he went to Zhu Laoda's house to eat free-range chicken, and he thought Ye Cheng was just making things up.
Looking at it now, could it really be true?
Boss Zhu put the things down and greeted him, "Boss He, Brother Cheng asked me to bring you two chickens."
Brother Cheng?
Mr. He's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
The once arrogant eldest son of the Zhu family actually called Ye Chengcheng "brother," and the thing is, Ye Chengcheng accepted it without hesitation.
Ye Cheng patted Boss He, who had turned into a wooden statue, and said with a mocking smile,
"Old He, I brought you a gift, and this is the attitude I'm showing you?"
"Ah, ah, no, it's just... I'm not used to it very much."
"Don't feel uncomfortable, this is a gift, it won't be available next time, you'll have to buy it if you want to eat it," Ye Cheng joked.
Zhu Lao Er had already brought out two chickens, two big roosters, each weighing about seven or eight pounds, majestic and imposing.
When Boss He saw it, his eyes lit up.
Wow, it's so big!
Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow. "It's delicious when it's big. This free-range chicken tastes absolutely authentic. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again and again."
"Okay, then I'll accept it."
Just as Boss He finished setting the chicken down, Ye Cheng pulled him aside and whispered...
"Lend me 5,000 yuan, I'll pay you back when I get the goods."
Old He glanced behind him casually. "Give them to someone else? 20 chickens for 5,000 yuan? That's a bit expensive."
"It's not just chickens, I don't have any cash with me today, can you lend me some?"
Old He nodded. He was a businessman and had some cash on hand. Besides, Ye Cheng had just said he would pay with goods, which meant he would also receive Ye Cheng's goods later.
It's a good deal.
Ye Cheng, holding the slightly damp 5,000 yuan, walked up to Zhu Liwen and handed it to him directly.
"Here's 5,000 yuan. 2,000 is for the chickens, and the remaining 3,000 is for you to go to the city and buy a motorcycle for later use."
Zhu Liwen and Zhu Lao Er were stunned for a moment, then didn't answer.
Ye Cheng shoved it directly into their hands and said forcefully,
"These 20 chickens aren't all yours, are they? You'll have to pay for them. Here, it's just a small amount."
Zhu Liwen hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it without saying much thanks.
After seeing Lao He off, Ye Cheng and the two of them went around to see off all the other bosses, giving them a proper introduction.
After delivering the goods, Zhu Liwen went into town to buy chicks, and Ye Cheng also boarded the boat to collect the goods.
Duan Chunsheng gestured with his lip towards the two Zhu brothers on the shore.
"Second brother, you're amazing! These two brothers are really impressed by you."
Little Tiger chuckled and teased,
"Uncle Duan, would you submit if I threw tens of thousands of yuan at you?"
"Get lost! You talk like you're all that." Ye Cheng gave Xiao Hu a light punch.
"They are willing to improve, so I'm just helping them out. I'll also get a share of the profits later."
"Okay, okay, you're the best."
According to Duan Chunsheng's plan, the first two nets to be collected today are drift nets.
As they approached, Ye Cheng could see a row of buoys bobbing on the sea surface in the distance. They were still in the same spot, and surprisingly, they didn't move at all with the waves.
Xiao Hu steered the boat over, and Duan Chunsheng found a hook and pulled up the float. There was already quite a bit of seaweed on the fishing net.
The 300-meter-long drift net was too slow to be pulled up by hand, so Ye Cheng hung it on a rope-lifting machine, set it to the slowest speed, and started lifting the rope.
Duan Chunsheng found a net and stood aside, waiting to pull a big fish out of the water if one came along. After all, the fish was caught in the mesh, and if it struggled, it was hard to say what would happen.
Soon, several 20-centimeter-long fish appeared on the fishing net, completely entangled and unable to move.
Ye Cheng pried them off; there was no other way, normally they couldn't be removed, so he had to pry them off.
Four filefish, nothing of value, were casually tossed into the cabin by Ye Cheng.
Next up was a mudskipper that looked like it was wearing camouflage.
The mudskipper, also known as the stinky belly fish, is mostly grayish-brown or yellowish-brown in color, and its body is covered with dense white or blue spots, similar to camouflage.
As soon as the mudskipper came up, Duan Chunsheng found something to hold it down, and then carefully picked it up. There was no other way; its spines were poisonous, and getting pricked would be very painful.
Overall, mudskippers are considered an economical type of seafood, costing around ten yuan per kilogram, and are in the same category as filefish.
Ye Cheng was speechless when the entire barbed wire was halfway pulled up and it was full of these small karami.
Just then, a large splash of water suddenly erupted from beneath the sea.
Duan Chunsheng beamed with joy, "We have a big shipment."
He quickly grabbed his net bag and prepared to get to work.
The splash was quite large, it looked like it was made by a very big fish.
"Little Tiger, why don't you get a net bag too, and see what's inside?"
