"Yeah, it sold over 4,000. I'll send Xiaohu's share over in a bit."
"4000? That's so much!" Jiang Yunxiang exclaimed softly.
"Sister-in-law, next time if it's not possible, let my brother come with us to go beachcombing. Working at the dock is too tiring."
Ye Cheng really did have this idea. He wasn't interested in helping the villagers get rich, but he had to take care of his own older brother.
Jiang Yunxiang gave a wry smile. "You know your brother; he's very old-fashioned and always thinks you need a proper job."
Ye Cheng nodded. His older brother was a bit old-fashioned, and his views were hard to understand, probably due to his age.
After finishing one steamed bun, Ye Cheng took another one, broke it open, and stuffed beef and eggs inside to make a meat and egg sandwich. It tasted quite good.
Dou Dou, standing to the side, looked at Ye Cheng with curiosity and asked, "Second Uncle, what kind of way are you eating this?"
"Second Uncle, this is called roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), it's very famous, why don't you try it?"
"Roujiamo? Isn't that just meat sandwiched between steamed buns? Why is it steamed buns sandwiching meat?" Dou Dou asked innocently.
Ye Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter at the question. People had discussed the Shaanxi roujiamo (meat sandwich) before. It's clearly a bun with meat in it, but people insist on calling it roujiamo.
When he was in college, he thought it meant exactly what it said and kept wondering how the meat was sandwiched between the buns.
Despite the question, Dou Dou still tore a small opening in his steamed bun and stuffed in a slice of beef and an egg. That's how big his hand was.
He took a bite, a satisfied expression spreading across his face.
"Second Uncle, this steamed bun with meat filling is quite delicious."
"If you like it, eat more."
"That's all. That's all for today. We'll eat it tonight," Jiang Yunxiang added.
“Sister-in-law, take this 1,000 yuan. I come here to eat all the time, so I have to pay for my meals and such.”
Ye Cheng took out 1,000 yuan and put it on the table.
As soon as Jiang Yunxiang saw the money, she immediately pushed it away, saying, "How can that be? We're all in our own home. How can we charge you for a meal? You can't cook for yourself."
"Oh dear, sister-in-law, just take it. It's just a waste for me. Alright, I've almost finished eating. I'm leaving now. I still need to check on today's traps."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Jiang Yunxiang to postpone it any further, and stood up and left.
"Sigh, Cheng, Cheng..."
Jiang Yunxiang chased after him for a couple of steps, but seeing that Ye Cheng had walked far away, she had no choice but to go back and collect the money.
Speaking of which, Acheng has really changed a lot recently. He's suddenly become so good at making money and is even willing to give it to them.
It can be considered that he did not let down the people who helped him for so many years.
After leaving his older brother's house, Ye Cheng estimated his current money, plus the money from selling the fish, which came to about 8,000 yuan.
It's not a small amount, but it's not much at all; there's still a long way to go before I can enjoy the wonderful life of buying a house and a car.
After arriving at Xiaohu's house, Ye Cheng gave him 1,000 yuan.
"How was it? Did you go see it this morning?"
Ye Cheng asked about the ground cage.
Xiao Hu's face showed a bitter expression. "I went there early this morning, and the villagers went too. The place was packed. I feel like we're doomed today."
"Is it hanging in the balance? What do you mean?" Ye Cheng frowned slightly.
"Brother, let me take you to see it. You'll understand as soon as you see it."
Since Xiao Hu made it sound so serious, Ye Cheng also became a little uneasy, and the two of them hurried up the mountain.
In his haste, Ye Cheng walked quickly, but stopped when he reached the beach and gasped.
Damn it!
Holy crap!
Is this still the desolate beach from before?
Are you sure this isn't some large-scale farm?
From this vantage point, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire seaside area.
This once remote corner of the seaside, stretching for over a hundred meters, is now filled with fish traps.
Let alone being ten or twenty meters apart, there can definitely be two traps within a meter.
Based on this calculation, it's estimated that each household has placed five or six fish traps.
"Brother, see that?" Little Tiger said with a gloomy face, "Even if a fish comes, it might end up in someone's cage."
"Yeah, even if I were a fish, I'd get lost and wouldn't be able to find my way home," Ye Cheng retorted.
Then Ye Cheng pointed down and said, "Next time, we'll contract the space first, then sell the seats and tickets for 2 yuan a day. This is more profitable than beachcombing."
"Yeah, bro, how about..."
Xiao Hu was so excited, but before he could finish speaking, Ye Cheng flicked him on the forehead.
"You really think that way? It's just a few dollars, have some ambition, okay?"
Xiao Hu scratched his head, looking a little resentful, "If they keep playing like this, we'll really be hopeless."
Ye Cheng was speechless. Playing it this way would be considered disrupting the market.
Just like in the city, as soon as a popular brand emerges, similar brands immediately spring up, and suddenly the whole city is filled with beer and fried chicken, instantly wiping out consumers and causing everyone to go down together.
"Let's go down and take a look first."
The two followed the mountain path down to the seaside, where they found quite a few people squatting and chatting.
"Hey, Second Brother's here." Chen Laosan stood up with a grin. "Let's set up a fish trap too, it's not illegal."
Sure enough, a few sardines couldn't satisfy his greed.
"It's not his property, what's wrong with us putting fish traps here?" a disdainful voice rang out.
It's Aunt Duan; now she's completely blaming Ye Cheng for her fishing boat sinking at sea.
A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment; that's just how strange it is.
"I can't contract the ocean. Let everyone release their fish if they want. But if we keep doing this, maybe no one will catch anything." Ye Cheng said calmly. What else could he do? Things had come to this point.
"That's hard to say. Fish don't have eyes. Do you think they'll all go into your trap?" Aunt Duan said sarcastically.
"Hehe, Aunt Duan, I can't control where the fish go, as long as you don't touch my fish trap."
"What did you say! I would touch your cage? Who do you think I am?" Aunt Duan stood up angrily.
One sentence from her broke Aunt Duan's defenses.
Ye Cheng rolled his eyes at Aunt Duan and the others, and said in a slightly threatening tone, "I'm putting this out there today. We're all from the same village. If I release mine, you can release yours too, no problem. But if you dare to touch my earthen cage, don't blame me for using dirty tricks. I've done these things before."
"Second brother, I don't like what you're saying. It sounds like we're all going to take your things."
"Exactly, are we that kind of people?"
"Oh, second brother, everyone just wants to make some money, calm down, calm down."
Seeing Ye Cheng angry, these people were a little intimidated, after all, Ye Cheng wasn't exactly a respectable person before.
