Upon seeing Chen Zhiyao standing at the bow of the boat, Yang Jiajun jumped onto the fishing boat in no time.
He resold the five-pound red-spotted fish he caught last time to Hong Kong and made a fortune.
Seeing Chen Zhiyao now makes me as happy as seeing the God of Wealth.
While helping to move the fish, Yang Jiajun secretly glanced at the grandfather and grandson's catch for the day.
His eyes lit up when he saw the small bucket of goose barnacles and the huge blue robe.
As soon as he got back to the store, Yang Jiajun couldn’t wait to start weighing the items.
“This blue-colored garment is quite large, weighing 4.8 jin (approximately 2.4 catties). At 110 yuan per jin, it would cost 528 yuan in total.”
"Six catties of goose barnacles. Although the quantity is not large, they look quite plump. Same as last time, 180 yuan per catty, 1080 yuan in total."
"In total, it's 1608 yuan."
Chen Zhiyao had too much fish, so he asked the helper to weigh it first, and then he went to settle the bill for Grandpa Chen himself.
"Four catties of whelks, 36 yuan per catty, totaling 144 yuan. Six catties of spicy whelks, 16 yuan per catty, totaling 96 yuan."
"2.5 jin of swimming crabs, 60 yuan per jin, totaling 150 yuan. 2 jin of stone crabs, 60 yuan per jin, totaling 120 yuan."
"5 jin of sea bass, 36 yuan per jin, totaling 180 yuan. 6 jin of red snapper, 56 yuan per jin, totaling 336 yuan."
"It adds up to 1026 yuan."
Mr. Yang quickly wrote out the receipt and then transferred the money to Grandpa Chen's bank account.
By this time, the helper had already weighed the fish.
Sea wolves, 50 jin, 10 yuan per jin, total 500 yuan. Yellow-footed wax, 48 jin, 35 yuan per jin, total 1680 yuan.
Black sea bream, 7 jin, 55 yuan per jin, total 385 yuan. Sea bass, 42 jin, 36 yuan per jin, total 1512 yuan.
A small lobster weighing 2.1 jin (approximately 1.8 kg) costs 190 yuan per jin, totaling 399 yuan. A dogfish weighing 5 jin (approximately 2.25 kg) costs 85 yuan per jin, totaling 425 yuan.
5 jin of conger eel, 56 yuan per jin, totaling 280 yuan. 1.6 jin of coconut snails, 100 yuan per jin, totaling 160 yuan.
Six catties of red sea bream, 56 yuan per catty, totaling 336 yuan. Six catties of mud crab, 50 yuan per catty, totaling 300 yuan.
Three catties of blue crab, 45 yuan per catty, totaling 135 yuan. One 1.5 catties of bread crab, 38 yuan per catty, totaling 57 yuan.
Red flower crabs: 1.2 jin (600g), 60 yuan per jin (0.5kg), total 72 yuan. Conch: 1.6 jin (0.8kg), 110 yuan per jin (0.5kg), total 176 yuan. Flower snails: 3 jin (1.5kg), 36 yuan per jin (0.5kg), total 108 yuan.
In total, Chen Zhiyao's earnings today amounted to 8133 yuan.
However, some of the red sea bream were caught by her on the fishing boat and did not count towards her points.
In addition, there were some oysters, whelks, spider snails, abalone, rock snails, and small squid on the boat. There weren't many of these small seafood items, and Chen Zhiyao planned to take them home to eat.
Back on the fishing boat, Chen Zhiyao opened the system's points page again.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: 3 (Tidal Bouncing)
Points:
Perspective range: 3 meters
Transparent time: 3 hours
Beachcombing tools: sand shovel, iron shovel, multi-purpose tongs, spade, 2 live fish buckets, 5 fish traps, water pump.
I'm only 8403 points away from unlocking the fishing section, which requires 30,000 points.
Chen Zhiyao has had some good results from her recent sea voyages, and she feels that after one or two more trips, she will definitely be able to level up.
By the time the grandfather and grandson got home, it was already completely dark.
Before even entering the house, Ah Huang wagged its big tail and hopped over to Chen Zhiyao's side, then enthusiastically pounced on her.
When she entered, she didn't smell the familiar aroma of food, which puzzled Chen Zhiyao.
Haven't you cooked yet today?
Yan Shuting urged her to change her clothes quickly, because her second cousin Chen Hu had returned today, and her uncle had invited them to come over for dinner later.
After graduating from university, Chen Hu stayed in Guangzhou and became a programmer.
Work is extremely busy; their company's overtime work is much more severe than Chen Zhiyao's previous company.
Since he was back this time, the eldest son specially invited them over for a meal and a get-together.
When the group arrived at the uncle's house, they could already hear laughter coming from inside before they even entered.
As soon as Chen Zhiyao went in, Chen Feng pulled her over to be the referee.
"Tangtang, do you think this kid has gotten uglier?"
Chen Zhiyao hadn't seen her second brother for half a year. Now that she saw him, he had a double chin, thinning hair, and a protruding belly.
"This...this..."
Seeing Chen Zhiyao stammering, Chen Feng began to complain about his younger brother with a look of disgust:
"Look at you, you're so young and already bald, and those dark circles under your eyes make you look like you haven't slept for days. You look older than me, the older brother."
"Hey, why are you resorting to personal attacks?"
Chen Hu put down the cola in his hand and pounced on his older brother, and the two brothers chatted amicably, taking turns splashing each other.
Seeing the two brothers childishly sparring, Chen Zhiyao quickly slipped away, afraid of being caught in the crossfire and getting beaten up along with them.
However, after not seeing him for half a year, my second brother has indeed become uglier.
Sigh, work makes people old and ugly.
It was during dinner that Chen Zhiyao learned that her second brother had also been laid off.
His uncle and cousin strongly urged him not to return to Guangzhou, but to stay at home and help out.
My uncle's fishing boat business is getting better and better. On weekdays, they can go out to sea most of the time, and on weekends, you even have to make an appointment in advance.
In the past two weeks, I've already gone out to sea 13 times, which is no different from going to a regular job.
Although there are three crew members on the boat, my uncle has to drive the boat and goes fishing in his spare time.
My sister-in-law's main job is live streaming, and she also helps with cooking, so actually only my older cousin is running errands and doing all the work.
Now, every time we go out to sea, all 10 fishing spots are basically full. He usually has to help with netting fish or other tasks, as he can't manage it all by himself.
Now that my younger brother has resigned, it's a good time for us to work on the ship together.
“I remember you’re pretty good at fishing, kid. Why don’t you do what your dad does, spend half the time helping out on the boat and the rest of the time fishing by yourself?”
Auntie excitedly chimed in, "Yes, yes, your dad made a lot of money fishing. Now that you've lost your job, come back home and help out!"
The eldest uncle and aunt naturally hoped that their son would come home to help.
After working in a big city for several years, I haven't made any money, nor have I found a girlfriend. I might as well go home.
Chen Hu originally didn't want to be a fisherman, so he worked hard to get into university. He never expected that he would still have to come back to the village after all this time. Actually, he felt a little embarrassed.
However, after much persuasion from his family, he was somewhat tempted.
Since I've lost my job anyway, I might as well rest at home for a while and give it a try. If it doesn't work out, I can look for another job.
And he's quite good at fishing.
He heard from his dad that he usually earns more money fishing than he does as a captain.
Chen Zhiyao munched on a large crab and said happily:
"Second brother, I rented a fishing boat and usually go to the nearby islands to go fishing. If you have time, you can come and go fishing with me. I'm a super good fisherman."
"Okay, I'll come find you to go fishing later."
However, with such a large laborer back, Chen Feng naturally wouldn't let him go.
"Tomorrow is Saturday, come and help out on the fishing boat, I can't manage it all by myself."
"My dear brother, I just got back, can't you let me rest for a couple of days?"
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him, then started complaining again with a look of disgust:
"Look at your beer belly, and you still have the nerve to say you're taking a break? You should start losing weight."
"Eat less. You were already ugly, and now you've gotten fatter." The eldest aunt said with disdain as she put food on her youngest son's plate.
"Sigh, don't single people have any rights?" He glanced at Chen Zhiyao as he spoke, trying to drag the girl who was watching the show into the fray.
"I'm still young."
Chen Zhiyao glared at him fiercely, then secretly glanced at her mother. Seeing that her mother hadn't noticed her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen didn't say anything, but watched the younger generation playfully fighting with each other.
