Let's not even talk about shrimp and crab.
Basket after basket.
When the live fish container was opened, a conger eel darted out and nearly bit the worker, scaring him so much that he fell to the ground.
"This...this...this job is not easy."
Several helpers shouted in unison.
Ajin frowned: "Virtue."
"Still picking and choosing jobs?"
"If you don't want to, then leave. I'll find someone else."
Several helpers quickly shouted, "Yes, yes!"
"It's just some eels."
"Easy to handle."
Not only are there live fish in the storage room, but there are also some in the cold storage room. They are all fish that are not good when they come up, so they are placed directly in the cold storage room.
"The haul is so varied."
"Moreover, this boatload of seafood is more than what we get from trawls."
"I was wondering why a small boat would come looking for us, but... no wonder."
"Hehe, luckily I came, otherwise I would have missed this big job."
The helpers chatted as they got to work.
Not to mention the helpers, even Gao Qiangqi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw basket after basket of shrimp being carried out of the boat: "How can there be so many?"
"I doubt those two trawlers next door have caught this many shrimp."
“Ah An, sometimes I envy you. How come you are so lucky?”
Wu An laughed heartily: "Brother Qiang, to be honest, I envy you too."
"What do you envy about me?"
"I envy you having me as a friend."
"Damn! That makes sense!"
"Hahaha."
Wu An was in a really good mood, after all, he had made money.
Before they knew it, more and more people were watching the spectacle around the fishing boat. By the time the two fishing boats next to them finished unloading their cargo, the area was completely surrounded.
That's really rare.
Such a small fishing boat is able to unload so much cargo.
Conger eel.
Yellow sea bream.
Black sea bream.
Oily spots.
Bearded shrimp.
Mantis shrimp.
Blue crab.
Orchid crab.
Blue crab.
...
The sheer number and variety of items were astonishing.
A few laborers who had just come down from the two trawlers next door were smoking to relieve their fatigue when they came over to take a look. When they saw the cargo being unloaded from the small fishing boat, they were immediately frustrated and slapped their thighs.
"If I had known this small boat would have so much cargo, I wouldn't have rushed to work on the trawler."
"Yes, the boat was quite large, but the harvest was just so-so."
Actually, the Chen family's two trawlers had already had a good harvest. To be honest, they had more seafood than Wu An's boat. But alas, comparisons are inevitable. If the harvest of the two trawlers was less than that of such a small boat, how could they have any face?
On the trawler next door, the Chen family was also watching.
"What happened?"
"It seems like there was a good catch."
"I'll go take a look."
"Hmph, how much can a small, broken boat possibly yield?"
Someone returned and explained what had happened, which stunned the others.
"Really?"
"With so many people watching, how could it be fake..."
"Damn, this kid's luck is incredible!"
"Alright, stop looking and let's go back. It's already bad enough."
"I heard that Chen Long got beaten up again and is hospitalized. My second sister-in-law told us to bring some spring fish home for him to nourish him."
"Hmph, I think she's just greedy."
"Alright, that's enough. With my eldest brother arrested and my second brother's family in constant trouble, it's only right that we help them out."
The Chen family members left the dock while talking.
The docks were bustling with activity. Wu An and Gao Qiangqi's group had already left long ago. They hadn't even had a proper meal at sea, and neither had Gao Qiangqi.
After the fishing season opened, he was extremely busy.
The group found a small shop, each got a bowl of rice noodles with plenty of toppings, and started eating in silence.
After finishing their meal and resting for a while, they received news that the goods had been sorted and Aqing went to the dock to clean the fishing boats.
Simply rinsing with seawater isn't enough; it needs to be cleaned again once it reaches the dock.
Mai Hangyu received his salary and went home first.
Arrived at the market.
Wu An suggested they go for a walk and see if there was any seafood they liked. Gao Qiangqi didn't say anything and went back to his office to make a phone call.
After strolling around the market, Wu An noticed that there were significantly more types of seafood than before. In the end, he bought a bag of handmade beef balls and fish balls.
It's all made with real materials, without any technology or fancy tricks.
In his previous life, he bought "a certain well's" pissing beef balls, took one bite, and immediately burst into tears.
I don't want to think about it anymore.
Don't overthink it.
Back at Gao Qiangqi's shop, a short while later, Gao Qiangqi came out of his office and said, "A'an, I just made a phone call and it's all settled."
“Your batch of goods is all good, I won’t hide it from you, especially those stone eels. The price they offered me was 100 yuan per catty, but I can only offer you 90 yuan per catty.”
"I need to make money from this whole operation."
He explained the situation openly and honestly.
Wu An made an excuse to go for a walk, worried that Gao Qiangqi would have difficulty contacting him while he was there. However, Gao Qiangqi revealed everything.
Wu An knew that if he tried to expand his sales channels, he could sell his catch at a higher price, but that would be too much work.
He doesn't have that much energy to mess around.
Just two days after the fishing season opened, he already felt overwhelmed. Being tired was secondary; the main problem was that he couldn't sleep or eat well and couldn't get proper rest at all.
He smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother Qiang, let's not repeat the same old things."
"Let's not make things awkward between us brothers."
"You decide what to do, just make sure you don't lose out."
"Okay, let's weigh it then."
The weighing was naturally handled by A-Jin. Just as he finished, A-Qing arrived, and they went into the office together. Gao Qiangqi was doing the accounting with a calculator.
"Reset to zero, reset to zero."
"..."
After calculating the bill, Wu An took the bill and looked at it. He nodded and said, "Brother Qiang, let's round it up. You can give me 40,000."
The rounded-down amount is 120 yuan.
Gao Qiangqi treated us to lunch, not because I was intentionally trying to repay him, but because that's just how human relationships are.
Gao Qiangqi walked into the lounge, and after a while he took out money and placed four stacks of bills in front of him.
How about we grab a drink together tonight?
"No, Brother Qiang, I've already told my family I'll eat at home tonight."
"Oh, right."
"I'll leave the boat in town. Ah Qing and I will ride our bikes back later. Leave me some bait; I need it for longline fishing and fish traps."
"Now that the fishing season has opened, bait is readily available."
"Okay."
Wu An then got up to take his leave.
As soon as they stepped outside, Aqing asked curiously, "Brother, where did we get this car?"
Wu An smiled and said, "In the shop."
"Buy a pedal."
"We only have one motorcycle tricycle at home, and it's not very convenient to drive it around."
I have money in my hands.
It's just over 100,000.
The most expensive scooter in the town shop only cost a little over 100 yuan. After a little haggling, I paid by card on the spot, filled up the tank, and drove off.
Asking for a driver's license?
That's definitely not the case.
There's no need to ride a bike in town, so Wu An plans to find a way when he has time. It's just a matter of spending some money. Instead of going home, he goes to the repair shop first.
Although things could be discussed over the phone, Wu An felt it was still better to talk about it in person.
He wasn't in a hurry to go home.
But those who had been waiting at his house could only wait helplessly.
