"No, second brother, what's a gift card?" Li the Cripple asked, completely bewildered.
this...
Ye Cheng himself doesn't know if there are any supermarket cards left, but Li the Cripple definitely doesn't have any.
Furthermore, later generations all used card payments, which is not the case here.
He turned and looked around, and saw a box of small cards.
"Then, use this card, sign your name, then write whose it is, how much it costs, and then send it over."
"Ah, is this okay?" Li the Cripple looked at the box of cards; they were indeed blank.
"That's settled then. I'll give you the money, and I won't worry about anything else." With that, Ye Cheng handed Li the Cripple ten thousand yuan in cash.
Upon seeing the cash, Li the Cripple was no longer in a dilemma.
"Okay, second brother, don't worry, I'll definitely deliver it to you." Li the Cripple happily accepted the money.
"Well, here's the deal: the money's yours now, but you're not allowed to suddenly raise prices. If you try anything underhanded, I'll just open my own little shop. Don't blame me if I steal your thunder then," Ye Cheng said seriously.
"How could I possibly do that?" Li the Cripple said somewhat awkwardly. He really wanted to do it, since everyone was going to spend money at his place anyway, so it was normal for him to raise the prices a little.
Now that Ye Cheng has brought it up, he can no longer do it.
After dealing with Li the Cripple's matter, Ye Cheng took a look at his own assets on the spot.
Deposits: 175,000; Foreign debt: 30,000; Mortgage: 300,000.
The money is still enough, but I estimate that digging ponds for crayfish will cost a lot more next.
Ye Cheng's injuries haven't healed yet, and he hasn't gone out to sea. He went into the city and bought a new phone.
To be honest, the municipal bureau isn't exactly ethical either.
He lost his phone, his boat broke down, and in the end, all he got was a piece of paper.
Damn it, you guys are so shrewd!
After resting for a day, Duan Yong and his team started looking for people to dig a pond.
Ye Cheng would occasionally visit the seedling nursery and bought all the equipment, including machines for temperature control and water changing.
The crayfish have been fed well these past few days, and thankfully several females have become pregnant, so Ye Cheng moved them to a separate pond.
In a few more days, crayfish will be available, and this complete industry chain is finally about to begin.
After three days of rest, the ship was almost repaired, and Ye Cheng was ready to set sail.
Early in the morning, Ye Cheng checked the system:
Luck value: 80+20
Points: 8500
Savings: 170,000; Foreign debt: 30,000; Mortgage: 300,000
With a luck value of 100, today should be a fruitful day.
Ye Cheng took Xiao Hu to the mudflats and caught Da Huang. This guy is a lucky charm; having him around always brings in some extra income.
Ye Cheng didn't go out to sea with Duan Chunsheng today. Duan Chunsheng has been preparing squid these past few days and is still asleep.
He planned to go somewhere else.
As soon as we arrived at the dock, several business owners who were buying and selling goods surrounded us.
"Second brother, I heard you were the one who did that thing in Liu Village? That's awesome."
"Yeah, damn those little devils, well done, damn it, that's satisfying."
"They, from Liu Village, still have the nerve to come knocking on our door. They really aren't afraid of bringing shame to their ancestors."
Ye Cheng smiled calmly.
"This matter is over, the police will handle the follow-up, we don't need to worry about it anymore."
"That's not true," said Boss He, looking displeased.
“This isn’t just a matter for Liu Village. Now other villages know about it and are saying that Shiling Township has produced a traitor.”
"Exactly, they've made us feel ashamed. Damn it, from now on we're going to lower the prices of all the goods from Liu Village."
"Yes, I drank last night and got laughed at. Damn it, it made me so angry that I had to punish myself by drinking three cups."
Ye Cheng hadn't expected these people to be so indignant.
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said loudly.
"With everyone being so patriotic, I'm sure they'll make a fortune in the future."
"That depends on whether your second brother gives us a discount."
"That's right, if you, the second brother, get more stock, then we can make a profit."
After exchanging pleasantries with the group for a while, Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu boarded the ship and set sail.
Dahuang was placed directly on the deck and allowed to roam freely.
"Brother, I never expected these guys who collect goods to be so patriotic," Xiao Hu remarked.
"Actually, most Chinese people are like this. It's not the old society anymore. Now everyone has a bottom line in their hearts. I just don't know what Liu is thinking. Sigh."
Feeling sentimental is one thing, but life is another.
This time, Ye Cheng plans to go to the island where he took shelter from the storm last time, the same island where he met Da Liu and his group.
I saw so many scallops on the seabed before, I wonder if they have moved away.
Ye Cheng picked up Da Huang, stroked its head and said, "Da Huang, how about we go pick up some scallops later? By the way, brother, can you eat scallops?"
Big Yellow tilted its head, seemingly disdainful of Ye Cheng's suggestion to eat scallops.
Kid, you're a picky eater, aren't you?
"Okay, you don't want scallops, right? Then you can go find something to eat yourself later."
It was meant as a joke, but to Ye Cheng's surprise, Da Huang actually nodded, leaving him unsure whether it had genuinely understood or simply nodded by chance.
"Brother, I think this guy must be a spirit. I remember the older generation saying that when an animal becomes a spirit, it will have something good inside it. Should we stew it?" Little Tiger said loudly from behind, trying to scare Big Yellow.
Upon hearing this, Dahuang immediately retracted all five limbs into its shell without a word, leaving none exposed.
This is hilarious, it made Xiaohu laugh like crazy!
"Wow, bro, look at it, this thing is really sentient!"
"You're such a clever person. They can only sense your malice. Let me tell you, if you scare the God of Wealth away, you'll have to go find the treasure on the island yourself later."
That damn little tiger.
Ye Cheng gently tapped the tortoise shell and said softly,
"Brother, Xiao Hu is a complete idiot. Don't pay any attention to him. I definitely won't eat you. Even if you have an inner core, I guarantee it. Come out and take a look."
After all that talking, Dahuang just wouldn't move.
Ye Cheng was also helpless. He glared at Xiao Hu and continued sailing.
It took more than an hour to drive to that island. We arrived at night, so we hadn't seen it during the day.
There is a large forest on this island, lush and verdant, with abundant trees. I wonder if there are any King Kongs on it.
Ye Cheng found the bay where he had taken shelter from the storm last time, sailed in, moored the boat, and took Xiao Hu to the island, bringing Da Huang up with him as well.
There was a shallow layer of seawater on the beach. Perhaps sensing the water, Big Yellow finally poked its head out of its shell and looked around.
Once it was sure it was the ocean, it quickly stretched out its four little legs and ran into the sea.
"Big Yellow, don't run too far. You'll have to come back with me later. Don't worry, it won't eat you." Ye Cheng called out to it.
