Over the phone, Wu Sui didn't say how much fish he had caught, only that he should call more people.

After hearing this, Lin Tao immediately replied, "Okay, I'll take some men over right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tao immediately called several familiar loaders and ordered two more vans.

He has worked with Wu Sui more than once or twice. This guy can catch several thousand kilograms of fish at sea without ever complaining of being tired.

If someone proactively asks for help today, they must be extremely busy.

The sea breeze was blowing on the dock.

At 8:30 p.m., the fishing boat finally docked.

"They're here! Old Wu's boat is back!"

A few fishermen who were strolling around the dock gathered around.

The cable was thrown ashore, and Lin Tao led seven or eight strong men to meet it.

"Ah Sui, how's the situation?" Lin Tao jumped onto the deck.

Wu Sui pointed in the direction of the cold storage.

Chen Yang walked over and opened the cold storage door.

Lin Tao glanced inside and gasped.

The fish were neatly stacked in baskets, leaving no room to even step.

"Good heavens, have you guys robbed the Dragon Palace?"

Lin Tao rubbed his hands together and waved to the shore, "Don't just stand there, get to work!"

The stevedores climbed onto the gangplank and began unloading the cargo.

The first fish brought out was the silver pomfret.

Basket after basket was being sent ashore like an assembly line.

Wu Gang and the others didn't sit idle; they went to help as well.

Wu Sui originally wanted them to rest, but they were all full of energy and not tired at all.

Fine.

He didn't want to move at all, so he stood on the dock smoking and resting.

More and more people gathered at the dock to watch the spectacle, and they all exclaimed in amazement at the sheer volume of goods.

"My goodness, it's all silver pomfret! There must be two or three tons of it!"

"Not only that, look, half of the cold storage is still untouched."

"Old Wu's luck is unbelievable. One trip to sea is worth several months of our work."

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

All four tons of silver pomfret were unloaded and piled up on the shore like a small mountain.

Lin Tao held the notebook, counting the items while grinning from ear to ear.

Just when everyone thought it was over, the stevedores carried out several large baskets from deep inside the cold storage.

This basket was clearly a size larger than the one used for silver pomfret, and it was quite difficult for two people to lift it.

It was filled with crushed ice, and you could vaguely see a fish's tail inside.

An elderly fisherman, out of curiosity, went over and scraped away the surface ice.

Upon seeing what was inside, the old man's hand trembled, and he almost fell to the ground.

"This...this is Black Bull?!"

The old fisherman's shout attracted everyone around.

"What black bull?"

"Holy crap, it really is huge!"

The old fisherman lifted a black cow weighing three or four pounds from the basket, his hands trembling.

"I've been fishing my whole life. If I catch two black bullheads of this size in one net, I have to buy a string of firecrackers to celebrate."

"Wu Lao Er, are you packing these by the basket?"

The old fisherman put down the basket and went to rummage through the basket next to him.

They were all large, each one fatter than the last.

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Although silver pomfret is valuable, it is also a common commodity.

These black bulls are a rare sight; you can hardly find more than a few on the market, let alone so many large ones.

"Ah Sui, where did you guys find this thing?"

Lin Tao couldn't sit still any longer, so he threw down his notebook and ran over.

Wu Sui sat on a stone pier at the dock, smoking a cigarette.

"Luckily, we ran into a school of fish."

Lin Tao swallowed hard, watching the baskets of black cattle being unloaded from the boat.

"How many tons would that be?"

"A little over six tons." Wu Sui exhaled a smoke ring.

He stopped talking and started making phone calls to contact the big boss in the provincial capital.

This batch of goods is too tough; it must be shipped out overnight.

The news spread very quickly.

Within minutes, several fishmongers from the town came running after smelling the fish.

One of them, nicknamed Baldy Liu, often took advantage of his connections at the docks to rip off fishermen.

He squeezed into the crowd, circled the pile of black cattle twice, his eyes darting around.

"Boss Lin, can you handle this batch of black cattle? How about we share some with the brothers?"

Lin Tao waved his hand, refusing to take the cigarette.

"Boss Liu, I've already found a buyer for this guy, so you don't need to worry about it."

Liu the Bald was rebuffed, but he wasn't angry. He turned around and approached Wu Sui again.

"Brother Wu, you're sailing this boat beautifully," Liu the Bald said with a smile, trying to get closer to him.

Wu Sui glanced at him but didn't reply.

Liu the Bald pointed at the black ox on the ground and began to nitpick.

"Brother, your black bull is quite big, but things that come from the deep sea experience huge pressure changes, which will definitely affect the quality of the meat."

"Plus, it's the middle of the night, so the transportation risk is high, and dead fish and live fish are not the same price."

"I'll offer a fair price, sixty yuan per jin, and I'll buy the whole batch. How about it?"

The surrounding fishermen, upon hearing this, all secretly cursed Liu the Bald for his heartlessness.

Black cattle weighing over three pounds cost sixty yuan per pound.

What's the difference between this and robbery?

Wu Sui laughed: "Boss Liu, you've got the wrong person."

"I'm just a boatman, earning a meager living. The cargo belongs to Brother Tao, so you have to talk to him."

Seeing that Wu Sui had kicked the ball back, Liu the Bald became a little anxious.

He looked around and saw that Lin Tao was busy directing the loading of the truck and hadn't noticed them.

Liu the Bald leaned closer to Wu Sui and lowered his voice.

"Dude, are you stupid?"

"You work yourself to the bone for Lin Tao, how much money will you get in return?"

"I know the rules at sea. Whoever brings the cargo up has the final say."

"Just transfer this batch of goods directly to me, and I'll give you a 20% kickback without anyone knowing."

"This money is equivalent to what you earned working on a ship for more than half a year. Isn't it better than living off Lin Tao?"

The more Liu the Bald Man talked, the more excited he became, as if he could already see piles of money flowing into his account.

After hearing this, Wu Sui's smile deepened.

He took one last drag of his cigarette, then threw the butt on the ground and stomped it out.

"Dazhu!" Wu Sui suddenly roared.

Wang Dazhu was carrying an empty basket toward the boat when he heard the noise, so he immediately dropped the basket and ran over.

"Brother Sui, what's wrong?"

"Throw this thing into the sea."

Wang Dazhu was stunned for a moment, but without hesitation, he grabbed Liu the Bald by the back of his collar.

Before Liu the Bald could react, he was lifted up.

"Hey hey hey? What are you doing? Let me go!" He screamed in terror as his feet left the ground.

Everyone around was stunned.

Wang Dazhu, as if carrying a chick, strode to the edge of the breakwater and swung his arm over it.

"Splash!" Water splashed everywhere.

Baldy Liu was thrown directly into the dark seawater.

Baldy Liu thrashed about in the water, swallowing mouthfuls of seawater, his eyes looking like he wanted to eat someone alive.

Everyone on the dock stared blankly at Wu Sui.

Lin Tao also stopped what he was doing and came over.

Wu Sui stood on the shore, watching Liu Tuzi struggling in the water.

He turned around, facing the crowd on the dock, and spoke loudly.

"Listen up, everyone!"

"This guy surnamed Liu just came over to me and asked me to sell the goods to him behind Brother Tao's back, promising to give me a kickback!"

"Do you think this kind of person should be thrown into the sea to feed the fish?"
