Beach at night
Turtle Island was quite far away, and by the time the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson returned to the town's dock, it was almost completely dark.
With the year drawing to a close, seafood prices have recently skyrocketed, keeping fishermen busy from dawn till dusk.
At this moment, the dock was brightly lit and bustling with people, whose faces were filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest.
The Yang family's purchasing station was particularly busy today. The three of them carried baskets of fish off the boat before the young Mr. and Mrs. Yang finally arrived.
As soon as Yang Jiajun got out of the car, he said apologetically:
"Uncle Chen, Grandpa Chen, I'm so sorry, we're short-staffed at the shop, that's why we're a little delayed."
"It's alright, we just arrived too. And the store is quite busy at the end of the year, so it's all understandable."
Grandpa Chen smiled kindly and, without saying a word, picked up the two buckets of yellow croaker and carried them to the car.
The purchasing station was not far from the dock, and the group quickly transported baskets of fish to the shop.
When Yang Jiajun learned that there were quite a few large yellow croakers while unloading the catch, his smile broadened considerably.
Upon arriving at the purchasing station, Boss Yang couldn't wait to open the large yellow croaker that was surrounded by ice.
"There are quite a few of these large yellow croakers, but they're a bit small. It would be great if they were all as big as these."
Large yellow croakers are considered auspicious and are very popular during the New Year, allowing Yang Jiajun to earn a considerable amount of money from them.
Chen Weiqiang put down the large basket of fish he was carrying and said with a smile:
"You're quite the thinker. If it were that easy, these big yellow croakers would be selling for such a high price."
“That’s true.” Yang Jiajun nodded, realizing he had been a bit greedy.
After carefully examining each large yellow croaker, Mr. Yang nodded in satisfaction.
"It's well preserved. The price is the same as last time: 580 yuan per jin for more than one jin, 680 yuan per jin for more than two jin, and an additional 100 yuan for each additional jin."
Although the price was already quite good, Chen Zhiyao and Chen Weiqiang still subconsciously looked at the experienced Grandpa Chen.
"Okay, we'll do it your way, Mr. Yang."
Since everyone was an old acquaintance, and Grandpa Chen knew that the price was close to the market price, he readily agreed.
The four large rhubarb strips on the net each weigh over a pound, totaling 5.2 pounds, for a total of 3016 pieces.
Grandpa Chen caught two large yellow croakers, one weighing 4.7 jin and the other 3.8 jin, for a total of 7,100 yuan.
Chen Weiqiang also caught two large yellow croakers, one weighing 2.2 jin and the other 4.2 jin, for a total of 5192 yuan.
When Yang Jiajun and his wife saw the large yellow croaker that Chen Zhiyao had caught, their eyes widened in amazement.
One weighs 5.8 jin, one weighs 3.3 jin, and one weighs 4 jin, totaling [amount missing].
After settling the bill, Yang Jiajun placed the gleaming yellow croakers into the store's freezer.
There are still several days until Lunar New Year's Eve, and the price will probably rise again later. The shrewd boss, Mr. Yang, plans to sell these large yellow croakers a couple of days later.
After settling the delicate yellow croaker, Yang Jiajun began to settle the remaining live fish.
The mesh part:
Yellow croaker: 316 jin, 22 yuan per jin, total 6952 yuan. Sea barb: 70 jin, 11 yuan per jin, total 770 yuan.
21 catties of red snapper, 65 yuan per catty, totaling 1365 yuan. Large yellow croaker, 3016 yuan.
The two nets brought in a total of [amount], with the grandfather and grandson each receiving 3803 [units of currency].
Grandpa Chen caught two large yellow croakers, one manta ray, one striped grouper, and more than half a bucket of yellow croakers today.
The old man earned a total of [amount missing] yuan just from fishing.
Chen Weiqiang also had a very good haul today: two large yellow croakers, one manta ray, one striped grouper, and a large bucket of yellow croaker.
Chen Weiqiang earned a total of [amount] yuan by fishing.
Yang Jiajun originally thought that the large yellow croakers he had just seen were a pleasant surprise, but he didn't expect there to be a 50-pound striped grouper as well.
Moreover, besides this giant fish, the other fish were also quite large.
Yang Jiajun felt that this year would be a prosperous one.
The large wavy grouper weighed 17 jin (approximately 8.5 kg), priced at 160 yuan per jin, for a total of 2720 yuan. The small wavy grouper weighed 9 jin (approximately 4.5 kg), priced at 88 yuan per jin, for a total of 792 yuan.
Stingrays weighing 36 jin (approximately 18 kg) cost 22 yuan per jin, totaling 792 yuan. Striped grouper weighing 58 jin (approximately 24 kg) cost 165 yuan per jin, totaling 9570 yuan.
Yellow croaker weighs 38 jin (approximately 14 kg), priced at 22 yuan per jin, totaling 836 pieces. Large yellow croaker chunks, divided equally, comprise 3803 pieces.
Chen Zhiyao earned a total of [amount] today.
Seeing the payment notification on her phone, she could hardly believe it—she had actually earned 30,000 yuan in just one day!
Earning 30,000 yuan a day was something she never dared to dream of before.
It wasn't until she saw the latest information on the points page that Chen Zhiyao felt a little bit of reality.
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.
I bought the potion to improve my physical condition yesterday, and I have 24,632 points left.
The number suddenly jumped to over 70,000, which made Chen Zhiyao extremely happy. She felt that she would be able to level up again soon.
"Grandpa and Dad have also contributed a lot. Once we have more points, we should get them both level 3 lucky fishing rods."
The level 2 lucky fishing rod requires a lot of points, so she thought it would be better to save that money and buy the level 3 lucky fishing rod later, so as not to keep switching.
Chen Zhiyao was grinning foolishly at her rapidly increasing points when she suddenly felt a light tap on her shoulder.
"What are you daydreaming about? We need to go back."
When I came to my senses, I saw my grandfather and father striding out the door with an air of smug satisfaction, as if they didn't recognize any of their relatives.
"Hey, wait for me!"
They made over 10,000 yuan today, and the father and son were so happy they almost forgot their own names, only wanting to hurry home to check their little treasure trove.
Seeing that the two were walking faster and faster, Chen Zhiyao got a little angry and started jogging.
Suddenly, a dirty little puppy darted out of the bushes nearby.
The little guy had blocked the road, so Chen Zhiyao quickly stopped.
The little white creature tilted its head, its azure eyes staring at her pitifully.
The little guy looks dirty, but you can still vaguely tell that he is a very cute little Samoyed.
Chen Zhiyao looked the little guy up and down but found no signs that anyone had ever raised him.
Seeing that the little guy was quite affectionate towards her, Chen Zhiyao patiently squatted down:
"Do you want to come home with me?"
The little guy cautiously approached her, nuzzling his head affectionately against her trouser leg twice.
Chen Zhiyao felt her heart melting from this adorable little guy.
If Dahuang is doing so well, this little Samoyed will definitely be just as good. Chen Zhiyao decided on the spot to adopt the little Samoyed.
There were no pet hospitals nearby, so she simply took the little guy home.
After feeding herself and the little Samoyed, Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to take the little guy into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, I received a smiling little angel that looked just like it.
Am I cute?
