Compared to Chen Zhiyao's dawdling, Yan Shuting packed her things much more quickly.
After carrying her catch to the back of the car, Yan Shuting couldn't help but turn around and urge them on:
"Hurry up, we need to head back. Today's haul is pretty good; these fish should earn us over two thousand."
Upon seeing her adorable little coins, she couldn't wait to go back and sell fish.
The old dock is not far from the town. The mother and daughter drove their electric tricycle and arrived at the town's dock in less than 20 minutes.
At this time, the fishermen who had gone out to sea to fish also returned, and the dock was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Fisherman's Lights
However, Chen Zhiyao came over every day, and she had long since grown tired of this scene.
The electric vehicle nimbly made a turn and arrived at the Yang family's purchasing station in less than two minutes.
Chen Zhiyao was already a familiar face at the purchasing station. As soon as Yang Jiajun and his wife saw her, they enthusiastically stepped forward to help them move the fish.
While moving things, Yang Jiajun didn't forget to anxiously peek into the bucket:
"Tangtang, what good catch did you catch today?"
The Chen family has been having good luck lately, and every time they come over, they get a lot of valuable goods. When Yang Jiajun sees Chen Zhiyao, it's as if he's seen a god of wealth.
"There are slanted grouper and blue-spotted grouper, both large ones weighing over ten kilograms, and there are also..."
Seeing that she had stopped, the impatient Yang Jiajun immediately urged:
"What else? Tell me quickly."
Chen Zhiyao paused mysteriously for a moment, then continued excitedly:
"There are two more red-spotted fish, but they are only about two or three pounds each."
Upon hearing that there were red-spotted fish, Yang Jiajun also became excited, "They're not small, and fish weighing two or three pounds are the easiest to sell."
After the fish were brought inside, Chen Zhiyao affectionately moved closer to Li Qingqing:
"Sister Li, the Chinese New Year is only two weeks away. How are the seafood prices now?"
Li Qingqing smiled and looked at Chen Zhiyao in a good mood:
"With the Lunar New Year approaching, seafood prices have started to rise recently, but not by a huge margin."
"However, the price should increase day by day, and it is estimated that the price may double in the week leading up to the Chinese New Year."
Then she warmly took Chen Zhiyao's hand and said, "You have to work hard, because I need you to earn money for baby formula."
Seafood prices are high at the end of the year, and the Yang family's purchasing station and seafood wholesale market can also make a profit.
People tend to be more generous during the Chinese New Year, so seafood prices are bound to rise. Li Qingqing hopes to bring back more valuable seafood.
Chen Zhiyao naturally wanted to earn more money, and the thought of the high seafood prices during the Spring Festival made her even more eager.
Seeing that Mr. Yang, the shop owner, had taken the tiger grouper out of the bucket to weigh it, Chen Zhi quickly stepped forward:
"Brother Yang, this tiger grouper isn't very big. I'll keep it to take home and eat."
Yan Shuting, standing to the side, shook her head at her daughter, "I kept the golden pomfret and the rockfish. Seafood prices are high lately, so let's sell the tiger grouper."
Chen Zhiyao was initially reluctant, but considering that she would be going out to sea tomorrow and there would definitely be other small seafood, she gave the tiger grouper in her hand to Boss Yang.
Yang Jiajun was beaming with joy after receiving so many good goods today.
The couple, one weighing the fish and the other using a calculator to calculate the money:
"16 jin of sea bass. The fish is quite lively. It costs 45 yuan per jin, so it costs 720 yuan in total."
"The blue-spotted grouper weighs 6 jin (3 catties), which is a good size. It costs 105 yuan per jin, totaling 630 yuan."
"The red-spotted fish weighs 3.2 catties. This fish is very popular in Hong Kong right now. I can offer 680 yuan per catty, which is 2176 yuan in total."
"It's 3526 yuan in total, let's make it 3550 yuan."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yang. We'll definitely come back to your place next time we have a catch." Yan Shuting's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
I never expected that I would earn 3,550 yuan after only one afternoon of fishing.
She originally thought that having more than 2,000 yuan was already a great achievement, but she didn't expect that seafood prices had risen so much recently, and she made more than 3,000 yuan in half a day.
Yan Shuting felt like she was dreaming.
Next up was Chen Zhiyao's catch. Looking at the three high-quality fish in the bucket, Yang Jiajun became even more enthusiastic:
"The grouper weighs 14 jin (7 catties). Although it came from a fish farm, it's quite rare to find one this big. It has also lived in the sea for a period of time. I can give it 88 yuan per jin, for a total of 1232 yuan."
"This blue-spotted grouper is amazing, it weighs a full 17.6 jin (8.3 catties), and it costs 160 yuan per jin, so it's 2816 yuan in total."
"Two jin of tiger grouper, not very big, can only be given at 35 yuan per jin, 70 yuan in total."
"The red-spotted fish weighs 2.3 jin (1.15 catties), and is a bit small. It can only be sold at 620 yuan per jin, for a total of 1426 yuan."
"The total is 5544 yuan. Let's round it up to 5600."
"Thank you, Brother Yang."
I earned 5600 in just one afternoon. Even though I've made a lot of money recently, I'm still incredibly excited.
Yang Jiajun put down the calculator and began transferring money to the mother and daughter.
Although he gave away a large sum of money, he could make a considerable profit if he sold the fish.
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao's score was refreshed again.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: Fishing Level 2, Beachcombing Level 3
Points:
Perspective range: 3 meters on the ground, 30 meters in the sea.
Visible viewing time: three hours each day for both the land and sea areas.
After leaving the purchasing station, the docks became even more bustling.
Besides seafood stalls, there are also various fruit stalls and delicious snack stalls.
It was agreed in the afternoon that the person who made the most money would treat everyone to dinner.
However, since Grandma Chen had already prepared the meal, they changed their plans and bought fruit instead.
The mother and daughter strolled around the pier, and when they left, their car was filled with large and small bags of fruit and various snacks.
Chen Zhiyao pushed her electric scooter through the gate and looked up to see Ah Huang waiting for her to return in the yard.
Ah Huang
Before the car had even stopped, the enthusiastic Ah Huang rushed towards her, knocking Chen Zhiyao back a small step before she regained her balance.
"Ah Huang, sit still and don't move."
Normally, when she speaks in a low voice, Ah Huang will obediently listen to her, but today she ate a lot of snacks at the dock, and her body smells very nice.
Ah Huang was so enthusiastic that he wouldn't listen to any commands.
During dinner, the mother and daughter started showing off their fishing catch from that day.
Whether it's a grouper weighing over ten kilograms or an outrageously expensive red grouper, they are all the envy of many.
Chen Weiqiang and Grandpa Chen, who couldn't go fishing, were so envious their eyes were almost red.
The father and son, unwilling to admit defeat, vowed that they would catch several big fish when they went out to sea the next day.
However, plans can't keep up with changes. Just after we finished eating, several claps of thunder sounded outside, followed by a heavy rain.
storm
As Chen Zhiyao walked to the door, she saw another thunderclap on the horizon, and not only was the rain heavy, but the wind was also very strong.
"It looks like this rain isn't going to stop anytime soon. I don't know if we'll be able to go out to sea tomorrow."
