Chapter 242 The Secret Treasury



The grouper that Chen Zhiyao caught weighed a full 25.8 jin (12.9 catties) and cost a total of 5418 pieces.

Three small green lobsters weighing over one jin (approximately 500 grams) and four small green lobsters weighing less than one jin (approximately 500 grams) total 1480 yuan.

In addition, there were 2 grouper, 2 red snapper, 4 black sea bream, 1 sea bream, 2 eels, 2 large octopuses, 6 blue crabs and 7 blue crabs.

The total income was [amount] yuan.

Upon hearing the series of numbers displayed by the computer, Chen Zhiyao's lips began to curl into a wide smile.

This fishing bait is pretty good; she plans to stock up while it's on sale.

Yan Shuting's grouper from the suspension bridge was about the same size as hers, weighing 25.2 jin (12.6 catties), and cost a total of 5292 pieces.

Including other various catches, the total income was 8680 yuan.

I spent over an hour fishing and earned some points.

Chen Zhiyao was very satisfied and couldn't wait to rush back and fish all night again.

Even though she ate a full meal before going out, now that she had earned some money, Chen Zhiyao couldn't resist dragging her father along to eat barbecue.

There are barbecue stalls right by the pier, with all kinds of lively and fresh seafood on the side, and two large baskets of plump oysters on the outside.

"Boss, I'd like 15 skewers each of chives, squid, prawns, baby cuttlefish, beef skewers, and pork belly, and 3 servings each of saury, golden pomfret, and eggplant."

As she spoke, Chen Zhiyao turned to look at Chen Weiqiang standing to the side:

"Dad, is there anything else you want? Do you want some oysters?"

"These oysters look pretty plump, let's have two dozen."

A group of female proprietresses, who were in charge of taking orders, said with smiles:

"Okay, to go or eat here?"

Without even thinking, Chen Zhiyao said, "Take it to go."

There's so much food, two people can't possibly finish it all.

There was a small stall selling sweet soup nearby. Chen Weiqiang felt that the barbecue was too "heaty" (causing internal heat), so he turned around and bought five servings of cooling mung bean soup.

Chen Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her father had bought mung bean soup instead of the terribly bitter herbal tea.

The gua sha (a traditional Chinese medicine treatment) is effective, but she really doesn't like drinking it.

The mung bean paste was prepared in advance, and Chen Weiqiang returned with the food shortly afterward.

When the father and daughter returned with fragrant barbecue and sweet soup, Ah Huang and Xue Tuan were the most enthusiastic, their mouths practically watering.

Chen Zhiyao started shouting as soon as she entered the courtyard:

"I'm back! Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, I brought back some barbecue and sweet soup."

The three people who were sitting around watching TV in the living room stood up in unison after hearing her voice.

Chen Zhiyao carried the things to the dining table and took out the barbecue items one by one.

Smelling the aroma of barbecue, Ah Huang and Xue Tuan, who were craving it, cried out anxiously and kept tugging at her trouser leg.

Annoyed to no end, Chen Zhiyao simply broke off the heads of two golden pomfret and gave them to the two little ones.

The family of five sat happily around the table eating barbecue skewers, while Ah Huang and Xue Tuan went around begging for food.

(The dogs in the village are generally quite rough and basically eat with their owners.)

Seeing that everyone was there, Yan Shuting took the opportunity to tell them about her plans to go to sea after the New Year.

Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang both agreed, as going out to sea has been quite profitable lately, and they felt it was better than running the village store.

Grandma Chen, on the other hand, was more conservative and believed that going to sea was a matter of luck, not as stable as working at the village store. She couldn't help but grumble:

"Small shops and courier stations can earn several thousand yuan a month, and it's easy work, isn't that great?"

"If you like fishing, you can ask Tangtang's dad to go fishing with you at the pier tonight."

"The young people in the village are all gone, so neither shop has much business, and it's quite boring to just sit there all day."

Yan Shuting had already made up her mind. The profits from the two small shops were not high to begin with, so hiring people was not worthwhile. It would be better to just sell them off.

Although she looked down on the income of a few thousand yuan a month, it was already considered quite good in the village, and it wouldn't be difficult to transfer the business.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law had made up her mind and that everyone else in the family agreed, Grandma Chen didn't say anything more.

And so, the Chen family's fleet of ships gained another great general.

After eating the barbecue, Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to return to her room and then opened the latest points page.

At this point, her points had increased from the original points to points.

Unfortunately, even with a discount, two Hundred Poisons Elimination Pills still cost points, and she's currently short over 4000 points.

She originally thought she had almost reached her target score, but she didn't expect she was still so far behind.

Chen Zhiyao logged out of the system in a sullen mood.

Thinking that it's almost the end of the year, I casually opened the bank app that was linked to my account.

Since her newly purchased fishing boat was launched, her daily income has skyrocketed, and she now has 380,000 yuan in savings.

Looking at the huge amount of money in her phone, Chen Zhiyao was in a great mood and felt that the air was much fresher.

Although 380,000 may seem insignificant on the internet where the average monthly salary is tens of thousands of yuan, it is still quite a lot in real life.

If she were still working as a wage slave in Guangzhou, it would take her at least eight or nine years to save up this much money.

The housing prices here aren't high; with this money, she could buy a house in a relatively good location in the county and make a down payment.

However, she has no plans to buy a house yet; she prefers life in Baisha Village to life in the county.

At the beginning of the year, when she was still working in Guangzhou, Chen Weiqiang was planning to grit his teeth and buy her a small, old apartment in the old city.

Fortunately, she stopped him.

Even if her family paid the down payment for a house worth millions, she still couldn't afford it with her salary of a few thousand yuan (*?????).

Moreover, she is an only child and has no intention of staying in Guangzhou indefinitely.

If she gets married in the future, she might purchase one or two properties as premarital property.

But she's still single, so let's talk about this later.

Chen Zhiyao happily took out a calculator and started calculating her monthly expenses.

She now gives 5,000 yuan a month for household expenses and an additional 2,000 yuan for fishing bait.

Each fishing boat trip costs over 1,000 yuan in miscellaneous expenses, which averages out to about 500 yuan per person.

Excluding the time when you can't go out to sea, if you go out to sea about 20 times a month, that's 10,000 yuan.

Chen Zhiyao lives and eats at home, so there are basically no extra expenses. Her monthly expenses are about 18,000 yuan.

After doing the math, Chen Zhiyao realized that apart from the cost of going to sea, she had hardly spent any money since returning home.

"That's strange. Why wasn't I able to save money this much when I was working before?"

Chen Zhiyao was thinking about the money she had spent while working when she suddenly heard her mother's urging voice coming from the doorway:

"Tangtang, it's already 11 o'clock, why don't you go take a shower?"

"Okay, I'll go now."

Chen Zhiyao put the computer down and glanced at her phone.

Seeing that my phone showed 10:15, I was speechless for a moment.

Is this what you call 11 o'clock?

My mom's words, like the fisherman's, should always be taken with a grain of salt.
