Wu An was unaware that there was a distinction between first-hand and second-hand butter crabs; simply classifying them by size resulted in having to reclassify them.
The people Gao Qiangqi brought were all seasoned veterans.
Although they hadn't handled yellow butter crabs much before, they were all "veterans" who had been in the business for many years, and each of them used a flashlight to sort them.
Seeing that Wu An and A Qing weren't looking, Gao Qiangqi reminded them, "A An, you two keep an eye on things too."
Wu An shook his head: "I trust you, brother."
Gao Qiangqi smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
soon.
Sorting complete.
"A whole bunch of yellow butter crabs, weighing a total of 21 jin."
"The rest totaled 83 jin."
"There were 23 jin of mud crabs, and other odds and ends, which I also bought."
"Ah An, do you think this is okay?"
Wu An nodded. Before they came, Lao Meng reminded them that the weight had been checked and the count was correct. The blue crabs and other seafood belonged to Gu Anran.
They also caught some blue crabs and mantis shrimp, but not much, so they didn't sell them and kept them for themselves. Seafood is a staple on their table, and with a large family, they can always eat it all.
He gave an OK sign, and Gao Qiangqi waved to A Jin.
Ah Jin immediately went back to the car and took out a handbag.
In total.
Gao Qiangqi took out four bundles of money from his bag, first handing three bundles to A Jin, then counting out 5,000 yuan from one bundle, and then handing the bag directly to Wu An, saying, "I've taken out a total of 200,000 yuan."
"There are 165,000 yuan here."
"Take a look."
Wu An nodded.
This is no small amount; it's definitely worth considering. It has nothing to do with trust, after all, he's not alone; he has many people behind him.
Counting the money clearly shows responsibility to everyone.
Counting them was easy. There was no need to count the five thousand dollars in loose change, and the rest were bundled together to make ten thousand dollars. There were sixteen bundles in total, and they were counted quickly.
Gao Qiangqi took out another 3800, which was Gu Anran's money. Wu An took it, counted it, and put it into his pocket.
I'll have to send it to Gu Anran then.
Look.
What a reasonable and perfectly legitimate excuse to meet!
etc.
Gu Anran handed over the seafood to him so readily before, could it be that she had this intention as well?
Wu An became happier the more he thought about it.
He hesitated, realizing he'd forgotten to bring a bag to put his money in.
Gao Qiangqi offered, "Here, put the money in this bag."
Wu An said, "Then I'll borrow it for a bit. I'll come to town tomorrow to find you and return it to you."
Gao Qiangqi waved his hand: "What's there to return? It's yours."
Wu An: "That's so embarrassing."
Gao Qiangqi laughed heartily: "Don't be shy."
"If you could deliver packages to me like this every day, I'd be willing to deliver as many as you want."
"By the way, I've made an appointment for you with the fishing boat owner."
"I'll put on a show tomorrow and get this done."
Wu An nodded: "Okay, if it's suitable, I'll buy it directly."
I have money in my hands.
I'm not panicking.
If it's roughly the same, then go for it.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he made 200,000 yuan in one day by taking advantage of the "blue crab migration" and "butter crabs." It was just a windfall.
Going to sea would make it easier for him to make money and showcase his skills; that's the long-term solution.
Gao Qiangqi nodded.
They smoked a cigarette, waved goodbye, and walked to their cars.
Ah Qing, carrying her shoulder bag, said happily, "Brother, it's quite heavy."
"I didn't realize money was so heavy. I estimated it weighed about three or four pounds."
"If this were worth millions, I might not even be able to lift it."
Wu An smiled and said, "That day will come."
Aqing's eyes lit up: "Really?"
“Of course it’s fake.” Wu An said, getting into the car. “We’re not doing anything shady. If the amount is too large, we don’t need cash.”
"Hold on tight."
Aqing was squatting in the carriage, holding her bag in both hands.
...
At home.
Not long after Wu An and A Qing rode away, Sister Duan and her family returned from beachcombing. Seeing that Old Wu's door was open, they came over to visit and ask how their beachcombing had gone.
Mei Yueqin certainly couldn't tell the truth; she simply said that she hadn't gained anything.
"I heard at the dock that Wu An went to the mudflats to go beachcombing, but he went too far downstream and had an accident. Could it be true?"
"Uh... that's true."
"Oh dear, how careless! It's one thing to be greedy and reckless, but to prevent others from making money is just too much..."
"It doesn't matter if it's delayed or not, it's okay."
“You guys are really generous to Wu An. What a day it is today! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money!” Sister Duan chattered on and on, and after a long introduction, she couldn’t help but show off: “I just went beachcombing on the side of the beach near the reef, and after only three hours of work, I easily made almost two thousand yuan.”
Mei Yueqin said, "That's pretty good."
The typhoon and the high tide made it a "feast" for the villagers. Although the dock vendors offered lower prices than usual, there was just too much seafood to go around.
Wu Ping called from inside the house.
Mei Yueqin quickly made an excuse to go inside.
Sister Duan couldn't stop her even when she called out. She pouted unhappily and said, "Hmph, what kind of person is she? She left before I even said a few words. She can't stand seeing others do well."
"You're allowed to show off, but I'm not allowed to brag a little?"
"Go ahead and be envious."
Sister Duan shook her hand and walked towards her home. She happened to run into a passing villager and they started chatting: "Hey, sister-in-law, how was your beachcombing today?"
"Oh, that's good."
"I'm doing alright, it's just that the Wu family didn't make any money today, it's all because of that kid Wu An..."
Blah blah blah.
The villagers who were stopped gave a few perfunctory words and hurried away. They had no time for idle chatter. It was true that they had made money from going to the beach, but they were also tired and hungry. Everyone wanted to go home quickly to have a hot meal and rest.
After everyone left, Sister Duan felt bored and went home. Once home, she grabbed her parents-in-law and started shouting loudly. The noise could be heard clearly, not only through the wall but even between two houses.
Inside the house.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, finding Sister Duan quite ridiculous.
After a while, Mei Yueqin returned to the doorway to look around, occasionally walking to the doorway to look at the intersection.
Wu Ping also came out and said, "I'll wait at the door. You go back inside and talk to Aunt Juan."
Li Juan was originally going to leave.
They were stopped.
Mei Yueqin nodded and went back inside to chat with Li Juan.
Enter the house.
Old Meng and Wu Yingwei were smoking when they asked, "The two of them should be back soon, right?"
"Hmm, I reckon it'll be done soon." Mei Yueqin said, sitting down next to Li Juan, watching Li Juan mend clothes with needle and thread, praising her skillful hands.
As they were talking, they heard the sound of a motorcycle outside. Everyone got up and went out into the yard. Wu Ping opened the gate completely, and Wu An rode his motorcycle directly into the shed.
Unable to contain herself, Mei Yueqin asked, "A'an, how much did you sell?"
"I...I was just curious, that's all."
Fearing that people might misunderstand her as being eager to get a share of the money, she quickly offered an explanation.
Wu An smiled. Not to mention his sister-in-law, judging from the expectant looks on everyone else's faces, he knew that everyone was very curious.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Wu Ping said, and also asked, "A'an, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly."
You see, it's urgent.
