He had seen the seafood in the market. It was seafood, but it was mostly dead fish. There was no way around it; once they were caught, it was hard to keep them fresh for a long time.
Therefore, living animals, especially fresh ones, can fetch a significantly higher price.
It's more expensive than Mr. Qian's acquisition price, but it also depends on luck.
The spotted mouse I have today isn't really suitable for selling in the market; it's too expensive.
If it weren't for the fact that I met a wealthy old professor, I would most likely have taken it back to Mr. Qian.
Another issue is that selling things at the farmers' market takes a long time, and the scales are always high, which indirectly results in some losses.
I don't want to use the nine-ounce or seven-ounce scale system; it's too unethical.
So overall, the income is a bit more than selling to someone else, but it takes more time and effort.
but...
The market has another advantage—it has beautiful women.
If it doesn't work out tomorrow, I'll try selling again. But that damn Mr. Qian, why does he turn off his phone when he goes to sleep? He has no professionalism at all.
As a leader of a large company with a 996/007 work schedule, what I hate most is subordinates who shut down their computers.
After finishing breakfast, Ye Cheng found a quiet place to count the money.
I didn't keep track of the money earlier, and I didn't have much money on me before. I have a total of 4,700 yuan on me now, and I estimate that I sold it for about 4,600 yuan.
It's alright, a luck value of fifty or sixty is about right.
Having finally made it into the city, Ye Cheng went for a walk and bought several air pumps, which could help the fish live a little longer.
And headlamps are much more convenient than flashlights if you're going to go beachcombing at night.
Ye Cheng also bought some other vegetables and meats. There are more choices in the city, especially beef, which is only available in the city.
While he was shopping, a phone call suddenly came in. Ye Cheng looked at the number and saw it was his older brother's phone. He answered it, and it was his sister-in-law, Jiang Yunxiang, calling.
"Acheng, where are you?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm in the city, selling fish. What's up? Is something the matter?"
Ye Cheng was a little flustered when his phone rang so early in the morning, fearing that something had happened.
"The water heater delivery guy is here." Jiang Yunxiang said with a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Oh, they're here already. Sister-in-law, you can have them install it for you first, and then you can just go into my house and have them install it together. I'll be back soon."
The water heater arrived; I had almost forgotten about it.
Having finished his business in the city, Ye Cheng rode his beloved electric scooter home.
In just over half an hour, when I got back, my older brother's house had already finished the installation.
The two installers started drilling holes and installing the equipment in their own home, while Jiang Yunxiang stood by with Dou Dou.
"Second Uncle, their electric drill is amazing! It can drill holes in the wall!" Dou Dou said with a childish voice, watching the master drill with great curiosity.
The little boy just liked these things, tools, guns and stuff.
Ye Cheng smiled. "Really? Then do you think this is amazing?"
As he spoke, he took a toy gun off the motorcycle, pulled the trigger, and a loud, magical electronic sound rang out. Although it didn't sound like a real gun, it was enough for a child.
"Ah, a submachine gun!" Dou Dou suddenly broke free from his mother's grasp and reached out to grab it.
Ye Cheng holstered his gun and said with a stern face, "Want to play? Have you finished writing?"
Dou Dou's eyes widened, and she nodded quickly. "Second Uncle, I finished writing it first thing this morning. You can ask Mom if you don't believe me."
Jiang Yunxiang looked at her son with doting eyes, then looked at her brother-in-law with helplessness, "Acheng, you keep buying him toys, he's become too wild."
"Kids should always have some toys."
"Right, DouDou?"
"Yes, yes, yes." DouDou nodded her little head like a chick pecking at rice.
"How is Second Uncle?"
"Second Uncle is good, Second Uncle is the best."
"Who's better, my second uncle or my father?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunxiang rolled her eyes. "Why are you arguing with your brother?"
DouDou pondered for a long time, her little brain practically burning out, before finally managing to utter a single sentence.
"All is well."
"Hahaha, okay, all good. Here, take it and play with it."
Ye Cheng handed the gun to Dou Dou, whose little nephew, who was about three feet tall, rushed into the yard and, without any instruction, started firing at the chives and radishes on the ground, shouting, "Charge! Charge! Fight the Japanese!"
Ye Cheng nodded with satisfaction. The kid had backbone, unlike those young people in later generations who, even after they had enough to eat, still fawned over the Japanese.
They've completely disregarded the dignity of their ancestors.
The two installers here were quite quick. It's electric and doesn't need to be connected to gas; you can use it as soon as you plug it in.
"Acheng, Xiaohu said you guys were exhausted last night. Come over for lunch, don't cook for yourselves."
"Okay, I'll take a shower and then come over."
Damn it, it's a new water heater, I have to let him use it.
Before leaving, Jiang Yunxiang took Ye Cheng's unwashed clothes back with her, knowing that Ye Cheng didn't like washing clothes.
The water heater didn't heat up very quickly. After Ye Cheng finished tidying up and smoked a cigarette, it finally reached 65 degrees Celsius.
I've been going beachcombing lately, and I'm always soaking wet. It's so uncomfortable, like I get wet again and then dry out.
When the water heater is turned on, the hot water washes over you, and the feeling is simply amazing. Every pore on your body opens up, and a lot of the day's fatigue dissipates.
With the new shampoo and shower gel I bought, I smelled wonderful after washing.
DouDou could smell that as soon as she entered her older brother's house.
"Second Uncle, you smell so good."
"That's right, Second Uncle is handsome, and handsome guys smell good."
DouDou sniffed hard next to Ye Cheng, mimicking the adults' blissful expressions.
Ye Cheng smiled and said, "My second uncle still has some. I'll bring some over for you so you can smell nice from now on, okay?"
"DouDou is a boy, he doesn't want Xiangxiang, only girls do."
Children speak without restraint, and sometimes Ye Cheng found himself quite fond of children, though raising them himself was another matter entirely.
He'd seen plenty of news stories from later generations about students being sent to the emergency room because they were so busy with homework.
"Acheng, I only cooked a few dishes and steamed some buns for lunch, even though I had a little something to eat." Jiang Yunxiang brought the dishes out of the kitchen.
A plate of stir-fried beef with chili peppers, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and four or five steamed buns.
Ye Cheng bought the beef that morning. Feeling that she had paid back the money, Jiang Yunxiang felt much more at ease, and the quality of their meals improved.
"Sister-in-law, this dish is enough, is it still not enough?" Ye Cheng took a steamed bun. To be honest, he was still not used to steamed buns with vegetables.
However, Jiang Yunxiang's steamed buns were very well made; they were soft, fluffy, and leavened, which Ye Cheng liked.
"Ah Cheng, you should save the money you earn, don't keep buying these useless things." Jiang Yunxiang glanced at the electronic toy gun.
"Sister-in-law, it's nothing, it's just a small amount of money."
"Even small amounts of money are money. I heard from Xiaohu that you guys went to collect fish traps last night. How was the harvest?"
