"What a damn ghost ship! It's probably an unlicensed fishing boat afraid of being discovered. Damn it, it wasted a lot of my time, and I only managed to haul in two nets," Duan Chunsheng complained.
"And you, how was your harvest?"
"Uncle Duan, we did pretty well. We even caught a net full of diamondfin squid. Pretty awesome, huh?"
Upon hearing Ye Cheng say that he had caught a net full of diamondback squid, Duan Chunsheng exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you've even managed to get this! I wish I had come with you. Damn it, you always manage to get good stuff."
"Hahaha, that's right."
When we got back to the dock, it was already past 5 o'clock. The sky was beginning to lighten, and the dock was already bustling with activity early in the morning, mostly with people going out to fish at night.
Boss He wasn't there in the morning; I don't know if he went to sell yesterday's clams. Boss Lin was the first to see Ye Cheng's boat and jumped on without thinking.
"Hey, second brother, you're out to sea at night too? Don't you usually go out during the day?" Boss Lin greeted him.
"Yes, they went out to catch squid with us. Shall we collect them?" Ye Cheng opened the cabin to show Boss Lin.
"Light bulb squid, take it." Boss Lin glanced at it and said casually.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw a red shadow swim past. "Holy crap, there are so many diamondfin squid."
"Yes, I just caught a net full of fish. Give me a price; it weighs several hundred kilograms."
Mr. Lin rubbed his hands together. Sure enough, buying Ye Cheng's goods was always a good thing; there were always pleasant surprises.
"Second brother, the price of the tube squid is very transparent, only 5 yuan per catty. As for the diamondfin squid, I have to ask about it, as it is relatively rare."
After saying that, Boss Lin added, "I'll take it, don't worry, I'll make a call right now."
After saying that, Boss Lin made a few phone calls while standing on the bow of Ye Cheng's boat before turning back to Ye Cheng and saying...
"How about 30 yuan per jin?"
This price is pretty good; I doubt Mr. Lin himself made much profit.
"Okay, 30 it is. Let's fish it out and weigh it."
After agreeing on the price, Boss Lin had someone bring Ye Cheng's squid up. There were 632 jin of light tube squid and 325 jin of diamondfin squid, which came to a total of yuan.
Another day with over 10,000 yuan. Ye Cheng counted out 4,000 yuan and gave it to Xiao Hu. He calculated that he currently had 221,000 yuan in savings, 30,000 yuan in debt, and a mortgage of 300,000 yuan. He also needed to invest another 30,000 yuan in crayfish farming later.
After selling out, Boss Lin didn't leave immediately. Instead, he pulled Ye Cheng aside and whispered something to him.
"Second brother, if you have any clams next time, come to me. I have connections to sell them too," Boss Lin said in a low voice.
Clams, huh? They probably found out about Boss He buying clams.
"Sure, I have no objection. As long as you pay, I'll supply the goods. But the next batch will take some time; there won't be any for a while."
Upon hearing Ye Cheng's verbal agreement, Boss Lin laughed happily, then said mysteriously, "Do you know, Lao He made a lot of money on this deal. He made at least 50 cents per pound, and earned more than 50,000 yuan in one go."
Judging from Mr. Lin's expression, you can tell he's a bit jealous.
To be honest, Ye Cheng didn't think it was a big deal that Lao He made a profit of 50,000 yuan.
Which middleman doesn't make a profit? Even if you hand over the clams to Mr. Lin to sell next time, it'll be the same.
As long as they can sell the goods, that's all that matters.
After chatting idly with Boss Lin, Ye Cheng quickly found an opportunity to slip away, taking his Blue Ring Octopus aboard the ship.
Over there, Duan Chunsheng had also sold out. He only made two nets, catching over 300 jin (150 kg) of fish, and sold them for over 1,000 yuan. Although it couldn't compare to Ye Cheng's more than 10,000 yuan, it was still a great harvest.
Back in the village, the roosters were already crowing. Ye Cheng ate some breakfast, then quickly washed up and went to bed. Staying up all night was something he could only do when he was young.
There aren't many people as fierce as Duan Chunsheng.
......
I slept straight through until after 2 p.m., and my face was swollen from sleeping so much.
The first thing he did after getting up was to send a text message to Yang Liu, telling her about the blue-ringed octopus and asking if she wanted it. If she didn't, Ye Cheng planned to throw it back into the sea, as keeping it would only cause trouble.
The message had barely been sent when Yang Liu called. Ye Cheng answered, and Yang Liu's pleasant voice came from the other end.
"Ye Cheng, you caught the Blue-ringed Octopus? Is it still alive?"
This little girl, she immediately asked about the blue-ringed octopus, without even showing any concern for her brother.
"Yes, it's still alive, but there's only one. We just happened to run into it."
"Great! That's exactly what I've been wanting to do research in this area. I want it! I want it!"
Those two shouts almost made Ye Cheng's bones go weak. Damn it, can't you be serious for once? I'm a serious guy.
"Okay, shall I bring it over to you?"
"That would be great. I'm still at work right now. Call me when you come over and I'll come down to pick you up."
Having a date with a beautiful woman, Ye Cheng felt full of energy.
He couldn't help but rub his right hand together, wanting to savor that soft touch.
But speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten whether it was Xiaorou or Yangliu on my right last time.
Damn it, what a scumbag!
Ye Cheng packed his things, found a large box, put the blue-ringed octopus inside, and then set off on his beloved little motorcycle.
With the beauty in his heart, he naturally rode faster, and 40 minutes later Ye Cheng appeared at the entrance of Yang Liu's workplace.
Government offices are different; they have gates and security guards.
Ye Cheng could only wait at the door. Soon, Yang Liu, wearing a white coat, came out from inside.
That figure is so smooth!
Big waves, high heels, even a white coat can show off her waist. Damn, I wonder what it feels like to pinch it like that.
Seeing Ye Cheng's lewd gaze, Yang Liu blushed slightly, but quickly regained her composure and glared at him fiercely.
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking at the pretty girls," Ye Cheng said casually.
Yang Liu turned slightly to the side, and her right hand shot out in a flash, pinching his waist hard.
hiss--
Ye Cheng gasped. What kind of hobby did this girl have? Why did she like pinching people, especially their waists? Didn't she know that a man's waist is the most important part of his body?
"See if you keep looking at things indiscriminately." Yang Liu's eyes sparkled with a hint of flirtatious intent.
"We only look at things that are good-looking. What's the point of looking at things that aren't good? How about we have dinner together tonight?" Ye Cheng said.
"Give me the things first," Yang Liu said, avoiding a direct answer.
Ye Cheng took the box containing the blue-ringed octopus from the trunk and handed it to Yang Liu.
Yang Liu picked it up and took a look.
"Wow, it really is a blue-ringed octopus! And it's still alive! Did you just catch it?"
"Yeah, I stayed up all night to get it up here, and I just woke up so I brought it to you. You even pinched me." Ye Cheng pouted and pretended to be aggrieved.
Yang Liu rolled her eyes at him and said speechlessly, "A man like you can even act cute now."
"It depends on who you're talking to, right? It's just dinner, isn't it?" Ye Cheng said with a grin.
