Before Chen Zhiyao returned, Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang often went to the shrimp pond to catch shrimp and fish.
During her time back, she has been catching large shrimp from the shrimp pond every day.
Less than a month after Chen Zhiyao returned home, nearly half of the shrimp in her shrimp pond had disappeared.
There was no fishing today. Grandpa Chen had arranged for someone who sells shrimp fry to come and release the fry in the evening, so he went home first.
Chen Zhiyao and Chen Weiqiang went to town to sell fish and also to check out electric vehicles.
It takes nearly 20 minutes to walk from her home to the village's dock, so Chen Zhiyao plans to buy an electric scooter for transportation.
The tricycle at home is reserved for my mother and grandmother.
The father and daughter soon arrived at Yang's purchasing station in town. They didn't know what day it was, but even Mr. Yang, who had been retired for the past two and a half years, was there.
Upon seeing the two, Yang Jiajun quickly came over to help, saying, "Wow, so many white pomfret! The fishing is going well today."
Seeing that the Chen family father and daughter had caught both red grouper and white pomfret today, Yang Jiajun's hands were itching to go fishing.
"That's because I'm good at it," Chen Weiqiang shamelessly boasted.
"Uncle Chen, these white pomfret are mostly around one or two pounds each, and they're all priced at 26 yuan per pound. These sea bass are a bit smaller, so they'll have to be priced at the usual 35 yuan per pound."
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
After agreeing on the price, Yang Jiajun and his son began weighing their catch.
Grandpa Chen caught only white pomfret in the afternoon, a total of 28 jin (14 kg), at 26 yuan per jin, for a total of 728 yuan.
Chen Weiqiang initially caught a 3.2-pound bass, which cost 35 yuan per pound, for a total of 112 yuan.
The rest were all white pomfret, a total of 27 jin (18.5 kg), at 26 yuan per jin, for a total of 702 yuan.
In total, Chen Weiqiang's fishing earnings today amounted to 814 yuan.
Upon receiving the money, Chen Weiqiang was so happy that his big tail wagged wildly, feeling that his fishing skills were getting better and better.
Chen Zhiyao caught only white pomfret, a total of 34 jin (12 kg), at 26 yuan per jin, earning her 884 yuan.
Chen Zhiyao was overjoyed to have earned more than 7,000 yuan today.
As soon as she left the recycling station, she dragged her father straight to the electric vehicle shop in town.
Their town, Dolphin Town, is actually quite large. There are two electric vehicle shops in town, and the two of them went to the largest one this time.
Chen Zhiyao didn't know much about electric vehicles, so Chen Weiqiang did all the choosing, and she obediently followed behind, waiting to pay.
After looking at all the cars in the dealership, Chen Weiqiang picked out a smaller electric scooter for his daughter.
In his heart, his daughter was still a delicate little girl, and he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to push her if she was too heavy.
Although this car is small, it can carry passengers in the back.
The footrest area is also quite spacious, enough to fit a small bucket, so it's fine to ride it fishing.
As someone who values aesthetics, Chen Zhiyao thought the car looked pretty good and quite liked it.
Seeing that his daughter liked it, Chen Weiqiang then looked at his honest-looking but shrewd boss standing to the side:
"Brother, how's the range of this car?"
"The range is excellent; a full charge can easily take you 120 kilometers. Plus, this is our best-selling model, and it's especially suitable for young women."
"If we're driving in the village, 120 kilometers would be barely enough," Chen Weiqiang said, looking at his boss with a disdainful expression. He then asked casually, "..."
"The battery life is a bit short, how much does it cost?"
The two men were interested in buying a car, and the middle-aged man in front of them smiled even more sincerely, his two rows of white teeth very noticeable.
"It's definitely enough for our town, and the price is very affordable, only 2800."
"2800? Aren't you ripping people off? No way!" Chen Weiqiang shook his head with dissatisfaction and pulled Chen Zhiyao toward the door.
The middle-aged man standing nearby quickly pulled the two of them down and sincerely advised them:
"Brother, if you're really serious about buying, I'll give it to you for 2600. That's the absolute lowest price I can offer."
“Your car feels flimsy, the materials aren’t solid, and the range is poor. It’s not worth 2600 at all; 1600 would be more appropriate.”
Chen Weiqiang frowned and nitpicked, while Chen Zhiyao nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, indicating her agreement.
The middle-aged boss in front of me immediately looked miserable and said that he would lose money if he heard 1600.
Chen Weiqiang himself is a businessman, so he didn't believe his nonsense. He insisted on giving him only 1600, saying that if it was okay, it was okay, otherwise he would leave.
The boss struggled for a moment, then quickly grabbed Chen Weiqiang, who was turning to leave.
"Brother, brother, add a few hundred more, I'll give you 2000 yuan. This price really doesn't make us any money."
"No way, another store has prices as low as 1500, and this is 1600, which is too high..." Chen Weiqiang pursed his lips, looking like he was about to leave at any moment.
Chen Zhiyao, who was not good at bargaining, didn't dare to say a word, afraid of making things worse for her father.
The two went back and forth for nearly 10 minutes, and finally Chen Weiqiang managed to cut the price down to 1,800 yuan.
The boss kept insisting that he was losing money, but his eyes were gleaming with pleasure, clearly indicating that he had made a considerable profit.
Chen Weiqiang felt a pang of regret for having gone too far; he shouldn't have given in.
So he kept pestering the boss until he finally got him a big padlock and a front-mounted basket.
Seeing that the boss had so readily given away so many things, Chen Weiqiang became even more annoyed, thinking that the boss must be feeling guilty.
1800 was nothing to Chen Zhiyao, a young woman with a bit of wealth, and she readily accepted the price.
This car comes in several colors: pink, sky blue, yellow, light green, and white; each one is quite beautiful.
Chen Zhiyao originally wanted a pink one, but then she thought that if the other family members drove it out, it might not be appropriate for it to be too pink.
After looking around for a while, I finally chose a sky-blue one.
The kind boss had just helped install the basket on the front of the car, and Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to drive around on the street outside.
After confirming that there were no problems, I transferred the 1800 to the boss.
Chen Zhiyao was overjoyed to receive her new car, and drove it straight home.
On the way, she even made a special trip to a roast meat shop to buy half a poached chicken and a pound of char siu.
Moreover, when I passed by a fruit stand, I bought a large durian weighing over 5 kilograms and some grapes.
I rode my new bike today and made 7432 while fishing, so I should definitely celebrate!
Back in the village, Chen Zhiyao happily drove her beloved car around for a bit, then went home with a joyful heart.
Now she owns a car.
Chen Zhiyao was in a great mood after getting her new car, and went shopping in the system's online store after returning home.
I bought the water pump that I had my eye on before, which was worth 2,000 points.
The points were refreshed immediately after I placed the order.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
