He deliberately emphasized the large characters, which immediately attracted people's attention.
Upon seeing it, everyone instantly became excited.
"Holy crap! Is that a shrimp?"
"Damn, my shrimp is huge!"
"This is almost as big as my hand. I've never seen anything this big before."
Seeing that it was such a large quantity, everyone became enthusiastic, gathered around, and started picking up the shrimp to examine them.
"It's really rare to see shrimp grow this big."
"Second brother, you guys are something else. It's one thing to be big, but to make so many of them."
"Second brother, how much is this? Name your price."
They asked Ye Cheng to name a price, but Ye Cheng himself didn't know what price to ask for, so he simply waved his hand.
"You guys drive it yourselves, I'll listen to you."
Seeing Ye Cheng's words, the bosses began to take precautions.
"I'll offer 60 yuan per jin," a small business owner was the first to speak.
He had barely spoken when Boss He chimed in, "Damn! 60? You're offering 60 for this kind of shrimp? No wonder you can't make it work."
The shop owner blushed, realizing he had asked for too low a price.
"100 yuan a pound, second brother, how about it?" Boss He said.
Ye Cheng remained silent; the amount was not low, but it was still not what he expected.
These large prawns are rare; they may not necessarily taste good, but they are definitely scarce.
Seeing that Ye Cheng remained silent, the bosses below began to whisper among themselves. After discussing for a while, one of them raised his hand and shouted.
"110, I'll call 110."
He has a group of high-end clients who like these kinds of rare items.
110 He just earns less.
Seeing how hard they were trying to raise the price, Ye Cheng got impatient and immediately offered a price.
"130, whoever can finish it can take it, if you can't finish it, you can share it among yourselves. Who knows when you'll find such a big prawn again?"
As soon as the price of 130 was announced, the crowd immediately fell silent.
Boss He gritted his teeth and looked at the others.
"I want half, do you have the rest?"
The other bosses looked around, and two more bosses raised their hands and joined together to take the other half.
The deal is done.
This batch of shrimp weighs 120 jin (60 catties) in total, which comes to [amount] yuan.
Including the money Xiaohu spent selling the large blue crabs, the total came to [amount missing].
The three of them split the money. Ye Cheng took 10,000 yuan, and gave Xiao Hu and Duan Chunsheng 8,000 yuan each.
Duan Chunsheng couldn't stop smiling; each time he went out to sea with Ye Cheng, it cost several thousand yuan.
These sugar-coated bullets are so effective, it's hard not to be impressed.
After selling their goods, the group was about to head back when they suddenly heard a commotion at the dock, with a crowd gathering around a ship.
"What happened? Did you get into a fight?" Ye Cheng asked curiously.
"It doesn't look like it. It looks like they've caught something good," Duan Chunsheng said.
The crowd was incredibly excited, shouting and yelling; something good must have happened.
Ye Cheng, naturally, wouldn't let good things slip by, and the three of them followed the crowd to join them.
Although it was night, the lights made it no darker than during the day.
The group was surrounding a fishing boat, each person holding something in their hands and shouting.
Ye Cheng squeezed in and looked at the fishing boat. There were several baskets of swimming crabs, and they were quite large.
Ye Cheng hadn't noticed yet, but Duan Chunsheng had already excitedly rushed over, picked up one, and shouted excitedly.
"Second brother, the swimming crabs are ready, the swimming crabs are ready."
"Uncle, what does this mean? Is it good or bad?"
"Brother, it's the blue crabs that can be caught," Xiao Hu explained from the side.
“That’s right, second brother. You used to just coast along, not knowing that the country has regulations on the areas where swimming crabs are caught. The sea is closed until they grow up. This should be the first batch of swimming crabs caught this year. We can go and catch them now,” Duan Chunsheng explained.
Well, you can say whatever you want, but why are you stepping on me like that?
Ye Cheng had seen videos of swimming crabs being caught before, and they were all called "the first taste of freshness".
When they first hit the market, they could sell for tens or even hundreds of yuan per kilogram. Then, once the supply increased, the price would stabilize.
As for the ban on sea trade, Ye Cheng had only heard about it.
However, judging from the size of these baskets of swimming crabs, they are much larger than the ones I usually catch when I go beachcombing.
This shows that the maritime ban was quite effective.
Everyone is so happy because as soon as the fishing season opened, a lot of swimming crabs were caught at the beginning.
Most importantly, this is the best time to eat swimming crabs, when they are plump and full, and the market demand will be huge.
Citizens lined up to buy, so going out to sea is guaranteed to make money.
Of course, if the fishermen make money, the middlemen will definitely make even more.
In short, this is a feast where everyone can make money.
As for how much you can earn, that depends on your own abilities.
"Second brother, let's go out to sea to catch swimming crabs tomorrow," Duan Chunsheng said excitedly, putting down the swimming crabs.
Hearing Duan Chunsheng say they would be going to sea tomorrow, Ye Cheng was a little surprised. "No, Uncle Duan, given your workaholic personality, shouldn't you be going to sea right now?"
Duan Chunsheng smiled.
"Damn! I'd like to too, but catching swimming crabs has to be done at night, and then I need to switch to a trawl net with bigger mesh, and buy rubber bands, all of that takes time."
"Do we need to switch networks again?"
"Well, before, we might catch shrimp and other things, so the mesh size was smaller. Now it's precision fishing, so we have to take into account the body length of the swimming crabs."
Generally, adult swimming crabs are 10-15 centimeters long, so our net mesh needs to be larger than 5 centimeters; here it's usually 5.5 centimeters, which is larger than the mesh size of our usual trawl nets.
Precision fishing, huh? Okay, then I'll switch too, except Ye Cheng has to switch from the system.
After this beachcombing trip, my system points have reached 9800, just shy of 10,000. Now I'll have to spend those points to upgrade my internet connection.
Fortunately, the system had this option. Ye Cheng spent 1,000 points to exchange for a large-mesh trawling net, and he will have Xiao Hu install it tomorrow during the day.
Since the main product is swimming crabs, we need to prepare more plastic crates, preferably the stackable kind, for easy sorting.
Because the claws of swimming crabs are smaller than those of mud crabs, swimming crabs generally don't need to be tied up as tightly as mud crabs; a small rubber band is enough to secure them to their claws.
There are many other preparations to be made, all of which need to be completed during the day.
After cheering for a while, the fishermen started making phone calls to prepare for their next day's voyage.
Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu also hurried home to sleep.
We're going out to sea tomorrow night, so I'll definitely need to catch up on sleep during the day.
The next morning, after getting up, Ye Cheng checked the system.
Luck value: 80+20
Points: 8800
Savings: 260,000; Foreign debt: 30,000; Mortgage: 300,000
With a luck value of 100, it would be a disservice to God if I didn't succeed.
After having a quick breakfast, Ye Cheng started preparing things with Xiao Hu. He took a long nap in the afternoon, and after dinner, he called Duan Chunsheng to go out to sea together.
