Watching Ye Qing and the others leave, the woman said meaningfully, "I might really be like he said, a frog in a well."
Upon hearing this...
Cao Zhiqiang's face was extremely grim.
He wanted to say something in response, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with anything to say.
Because that is indeed the case.
The woman continued, "Do you think he could sell all that seafood for a few thousand yuan?"
Cao Zhiqiang had just opened his mouth to speak when the woman said to herself, "Definitely."
"Just those black hairs alone cost several hundred yuan per kilogram."
"They only worked for a few hours and earned more than we do in a month of working."
Listening to my girlfriend asking and answering herself.
Cao Zhiqiang's face was extremely pale, and his fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking.
He originally came to show off his superiority to Wu An, but ended up being the one who got outplayed by Wu An instead.
Compared to Wu An, what is his promotion and raise?
The extra few hundred yuan each month is less than what someone else could catch two more fish.
No wonder Wu An didn't feel ashamed at all being a fisherman.
As Wu An said, it's shameful not to make money.
So... I'm the one who's embarrassing myself?
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang felt angry and wanted to explode, but he also felt that he had no right to explode.
Wu An was telling the truth.
The woman suddenly grabbed her hand and exclaimed excitedly, "Zhiqiang, so it's true that your classmate is buying three houses at once, and also starting a company?"
Cao Zhiqiang felt extremely distressed, but he could only nod: "It's probably true."
"He has no reason to lie to us."
The woman abruptly asked, "Does he have a girlfriend?"
Cao Zhiqiang hesitated: "Why are you asking this?"
His voice trembled slightly, worried that his attempt to show off would backfire and he would end up getting slept with, and even losing his girlfriend.
That would be a huge joke.
The woman was taken aback, punched him lightly, and said, "What are you worried about?"
"Yes, I admit that your classmate is very outstanding and lucky enough to make a lot of money."
"He's very handsome, I saw him just now, and he has a great physique too."
"He's half a head taller than you, almost 1.8 meters tall."
"It would be so prestigious to have a boyfriend like that."
"But I'm not the kind of fickle woman. No matter how outstanding he is, I won't be tempted."
Of course, even though that's what she said, she knew it was useless even if she was attracted to him, since she was appearing as Cao Zhiqiang's girlfriend.
Unless Wu An has some unusual fetish.
Hearing his girlfriend say that, Cao Zhiqiang should have been happy, but he felt even more upset. He forced a smile and said, "He probably doesn't have a girlfriend."
"I heard a few days ago that after he was expelled from university, his girlfriend broke up with him."
The woman said excitedly, "That's wonderful!"
“His girlfriend has no taste, so it’s a perfect opportunity to take advantage of her.”
"You know my best friend, right?"
"She's similar to your classmate; she dropped out of college before finishing and came back."
"They might have things in common. How about we try to set them up?"
Cao Zhiqiang's scalp tingled: "Can it work?"
The woman said, "If it works out, my best friend will definitely benefit both of us."
Cao Zhiqiang said, "Then I'll give it a try. Let's meet up for a meal another day."
The woman said, "Okay, okay, it's the best restaurant in town. Your classmate is so rich, we can freeload."
...
Wu An and his two companions arrived at the market and headed straight for Lao Fang's stall.
Old Fang was overjoyed when he saw the black feathers in the bucket, and said, "I knew I'd run into a magpie this morning, and sure enough, there was a surprise."
"So many black hairs, that's really rare."
"Caught on a fish?"
Ah Qing blurted out, "No, my brother took me to pump water from the puddle, and I just grabbed him out of the puddle."
"He arrested most of them."
"I'm not that lucky with my luck."
Old Fang gave a thumbs up: "You guys are really good at making things happen. You do this one minute and that the next, and you still manage to make money."
"God is practically begging to feed us."
"If this gets out, I don't know how many people will be green with envy."
Wu An laughed and said, "Old Fang, you still have to keep this a secret for me."
Lao Fang readily agreed.
Leaving aside the other miscellaneous fish, he paid 320 yuan per jin for the black hairy fish.
Wu An didn't haggle and settled on the price immediately.
This isn't their first time dealing with each other; they've eaten together more than once. Old Fang probably wouldn't cheat him.
If you dare to cheat him and he finds out, there will definitely be no next time.
The black bream was weighed first, totaling 21 jin (16 catties), which cost 6720 yuan. The other fish together cost 3250 yuan.
Total: 9970 yuan.
Old Fang took out 10,000 yuan directly, saying he didn't have any change, so this was it.
Wu An smiled and, without standing on ceremony, led Mai Hangyu to Gao Qiangqi's side.
There weren't many shrimp and crabs; together they only sold for 2,300.
An income of 12,000 is not bad.
In one day, he broke even, and Aqing didn't lose money on gas either; in fact, he made a small profit.
Mai Hangyu was stunned.
He never expected to earn so much money. This is such a promising future. If he could earn this much every day, why would he need to go to school?
Wu An gave him a share of the money.
Mai Hangyu snapped out of his daze, waved his hand and refused, saying, "Brother, I was just having fun today. If you give me a share of the money, you're insulting me."
"Please don't give it to me."
"I definitely can't accept it."
"Next time you have work, contact me in advance, and I'll do the work before you split the pay with me."
Seeing Mai Hangyu's resolute attitude, Wu An had no choice but to give up; it wouldn't look good for two grown men to push each other back and forth in the market.
“If you have nothing to do during your winter and summer vacations, you can come with me, and I’ll pay you a salary,” Wu An said with a smile.
It turns out that pumping water into the pit is a sustainable way to make money. Compared to beachcombing and fishing, it is less tiring and the income is also higher.
Moreover, when pumping water from a pit, sometimes it requires coordination to move stones or something similar, and having an extra person will make things more efficient.
Seeing Mai Hangyu's happy face, Wu An thought for a moment and said, "Just so you know, this only applies to winter and summer vacations. You still have to go to school."
He wasn't being overly pessimistic, but if Mai Hangyu's daily income were good, he might not want to go to school anymore.
Mai Hangyu scratched his head and said, "Why?"
"If every day is like this, what's the point of going to school? I might as well drop out."
“Going to school means you’ll end up working anyway. If I follow you, I can avoid taking a few more detours.”
Wu An countered, "What if our cultural tourism businesses grow and become more successful in the future?"
Mai Hangyu nodded: "That's true."
Wu An handed him the shrimp, crab, and blackfish he had kept, saying, "Take these and go home first."
"Aqing and I are going to buy some things."
Mai Hangyu rode off on a Harley, making a racket and leaving the streets.
Wu An and A Qing went to the supermarket and bought some gift boxes. They hadn't had time to prepare anything when they visited before, and they didn't want to be impolite today.
We arrived at Old Mai's house.
Upon entering, I saw two unfamiliar people in the room. One was older, about the same age as Old Mai, and the other was younger, looking to be only in his forties or fifties.
As they were drinking tea, Old Mai saw Wu An and called out, "An, come and sit down."
Let me introduce myself.
They introduced themselves, the older one was called Lao Chen, and the younger one was called Lao Xie.
Old Chen recently lost his wife, and his children are not around. He plans to buy a motorhome to travel, saying he will take his wife's ashes with him and does not intend to return in the future.
Old Xie was trying to get medical treatment for his child, but he didn't elaborate. Wu An wasn't curious either.
Old Mai looked at Wu An and said, "Let's get straight to the point, they're here to sell houses."
"I already said that you are indeed sincere about buying, so it's mainly up to you two to negotiate."
