If he's late, Xiao Hu's second uncle will probably throw a tantrum.
The two practically ran along the beach picking up seafood, glancing down to see if they found any, then picking them up; if not, they'd move on to something else.
Ye Cheng felt he had never been so tired before. He used to fail long-distance running in school, but now he was running with such energy.
It seems like universities should do this in the future: give money to those who pass the test, and I guess everyone will pass.
"Brother, we're running out of time, let's go!" Xiao Hu shouted.
"walk."
The two men each carried a snakeskin bag on their backs and an empty bucket in their hands. There was no other way; if they ran, the sea cucumbers would probably fall out.
Wang Haisheng had been there for almost ten minutes, and the boss was getting impatient after waiting for so long.
"Old Wang, are those two relatives of yours reliable? Why don't you give them a call?"
Wang Haisheng smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Qian, those two young men don't have cell phones."
Qian is always older, and he was speechless when he heard that Qian didn't have a cell phone.
Although mobile phone bills are not cheap these days, people who don't have mobile phones are still a minority.
Without a phone, they could only wait. Bored, the two cast their lines a couple more times. Anyway, they had nothing better to do, and there were fish by the sea.
"Little Tiger! Cheng!"
Wang Haisheng jumped onto the beach and shouted, his voice carrying on the sea breeze, but there was no response for a long time.
"Damn it, those two kids, I'm not bringing them out next time," Wang Haisheng said in frustration before returning to the boat.
As soon as he boarded the ship, Wang Haisheng saw two figures rush out of the woods on the island, covered in leaves, howling incessantly, and carrying something on their backs.
When Mr. Qian heard the noise and turned around, he was so frightened that he almost fell over. "Hurry up and get out of here, Lao Wang! These are savages, indigenous people, they're going to kill us!"
"Natives?" Wang Haisheng's mind conjured up images of forest natives wielding spears and making incoherent noises; legend had it that they were actually cannibals.
The other boss was also terrified and urged Wang Haisheng to start the boat immediately.
Wang Haisheng was so scared his legs went weak. "Damn it, when did these natives come to this place? Have you registered your migrant population?"
He climbed into the driver's seat and started the boat.
As soon as Wang Haisheng started the boat, the two men ran even faster, shouting as they went.
"Uncle, Uncle, don't go! It's me, Xiao Hu!" "It's me, Xiao Hu!"
Wang Haisheng was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Hu?"
He looked at it carefully, and wow, it really was true.
My nephew and Ye Cheng, for some reason, were covered in mud and had a few leaves stuck to their bodies. They really looked like natives after rushing out of the woods.
"What have you two been doing? You dug up pirate treasure, and you're carrying sacks like country bumpkins," Wang Haisheng cursed.
"Uncle, it's just some stuff from beachcombing," Xiao Hu explained, throwing the snakeskin bag onto the boat before climbing aboard.
Ye Cheng also boarded the boat. Once on board, he lay down on the deck and gasped for breath. He didn't want to say a word.
Damn it, I've never traveled this fast during the Spring Festival travel rush. My lungs are about to burst.
"Once they've arrived, let's hurry up and leave; it's getting late," Mr. Qian urged.
Wang Haisheng responded, and then the boat slowly sailed onto the sea, heading towards the village.
Seeing the two men's large sacks, Wang Haisheng asked boredly, "What have you guys been up to? You've got so much? Mussels or scallops?"
Xiao Hu has become shrewd now; he glanced at Ye Cheng first.
Ye Cheng didn't say anything, but lit a cigarette to give his lungs a boost.
"Uncle, what's so special about those beachcombing tuna?" Ye Cheng said casually.
"Let's take a look, we're curious too," Mr. Qian said, leaning closer.
"Come on, let me show you our catch: sea bass and black sea bream, not bad, right?" Mr. Qian opened the tank, revealing four or five fish inside.
Sea bass and black sea bream are both common sea fish, not expensive, but still quite good.
Mr. Qian was clearly very satisfied with his gains.
For a seasoned angler, price doesn't matter; what matters is having a bite.
Mr. Qian's companion also opened the water tank, which contained several fish of various sizes.
"You two bosses are really skilled, catching so many fish." Ye Cheng gave a small compliment.
"Haha, that's because Old Wang led us to a good spot; there's a mouth right down there." Boss Qian laughed happily.
"Come on, young man, show us what good stuff you have. If there's anything fresh, we'll buy some to take home and have a seafood feast."
Upon hearing that Qian Zong might buy it, Ye Cheng had an idea. By skipping the middleman, he could definitely sell more.
He winked at Xiaohu, who then fumbled in the snakeskin bag and pulled out a sea cucumber. "Well, we got some sea cucumbers."
Mr. Qian looked at the sea cucumber in Xiao Hu's hand with surprise, reached out and took it, examined it carefully, and weighed it in his hand. "Not bad, this sea cucumber is wild, and it's so big."
"This is still the small one," Little Tiger boasted proudly.
"How much bigger are they? Show us, we'll buy some." Mr. Qian became interested.
I originally just wanted to admire it, but when I discovered such a good item, I was naturally tempted.
"That's right, that's right, our Boss Qian isn't short of money. Just bring out the goods you have, it won't be a problem for you." Boss Qian's companion also became envious and encouraged him from the side.
"Little Tiger, take it out and show it to the two bosses," Ye Cheng said.
"Here's a water tank for you. Pour it out and see what's inside. Why are you hiding anything?" Wang Haisheng was also itching to try it out.
With Ye Cheng speaking up, Xiao Hu didn't hold back anymore. This was his second uncle's ship, not a pirate's, so he wasn't afraid.
He struggled to lift the burlap sack, tied it tightly, and dumped it all into the water tank, the entire sack of seafood splashing in.
Holy crap! Abalone!
"And there's the king of razor clams."
"Not bad, this abalone is quite big."
"Let me see, this king clam is so fat."
"This sea cucumber is thicker than the one I had just eaten. Damn it, did you guys go and rob the Dragon King?"
Mr. Qian couldn't help but swear.
Wang Haisheng, who was steering the boat, was dumbfounded. Had his nephew gone to the beach to catch seafood?
Could they have gone to the seafood market to do wholesale?
Mr. Qian and his companions excitedly squatted down, picking up each fish one by one to examine them. Compared to the whole box of fish, their few fish were simply insignificant.
"Young man, is this really what you came here from beachcombing?"
"That's right, my brother still has some, as you can see. When we arrived on the island, there was nothing there," Xiao Hu said proudly.
"Mr. Qian, it is indeed wild, unlike farmed ones," Mr. Qian's companion whispered.
Wang Haisheng glanced at Ye Cheng's snakeskin bag, which was about the same weight. "Xiao Hu, is there this much stuff on this island?"
