He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

He Zhenzhen did not respond, but carefully steered the boat and slowly approached the shore.

Niu Bayi leaned against the bow of the boat, smiling as he said, "How could anything happen? Don't worry about us in the future. If we come back late, it means we've had a particularly good harvest."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu, who had been itching to try it, couldn't hold back any longer and immediately shouted.

"Bayi! Brother Bayi! What good stuff did you catch this time? Let me tell you, the crab tigers you sold me last time, although the quantity was small, were very popular and sold out in no time."

"They kept asking me if we had any crab tigers left!"

"What did you bring back this time? A crab tiger?"

He Rong had already seen the huge giant clam shell on the deck, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he shouted.

"What a huge giant clam! I've mined them before, but they were always small. I've rarely seen one this big. The meat extracted from it must weigh forty or fifty pounds!"

At this moment, He Zhenzhen had already stopped the boat, ran out, and gave He Rong a thumbs up.

"Dad, you have a good eye! There really are forty pounds of meat. When we get back, I'll have Mom make them into dried scallops. Selling dried scallops can make a lot of money."

He Laifu and He Rong, on the other hand, were all smiles.

Mr. Wu sighed, his face full of disappointment.

"What? You guys went out to sea to hunt giant clams? Although giant clam meat is delicious, it can't compare to the other fish caught by the August 1st Fisheries Team. Besides, it takes a lot of effort to hoist such heavy giant clams up."

"Don't be fooled by the forty pounds of meat you take out; if you make it into dried scallops and sell it, it'll only fetch forty or fifty yuan, which is less than the little bit of crab meat you got last time."

Niu Bayi smiled slightly.

"Mr. Wu, don't rush, come aboard and take a look."

As he spoke, he opened the cover of the fish hold.

Mr. Wu was immediately overjoyed.

With an excited heart, trembling hands, and stumbling legs, I jumped up hastily.

He Rong and He Laifu quickly jumped onto the deck and peered into the fish hold.

Immediately, everyone gasped in shock.

Mr. Wu felt a chill run down his spine.

Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "My God, so many goby crabs! Ba Yi, where did you get so many goby crabs? They're all quite big, I wonder how many weigh three or four ounces each!"

"Amazing! Amazing! You've struck it rich again! You've struck it rich again!"

"I knew I hadn't underestimated you; you always manage to surprise me!"

He Zhenzhen said proudly, "That's right. The main catch on this trip was tiger crabs. We just picked up a giant clam on the way back to play with it."

He Laifu shook his head, his face full of envy.

"Oh dear, I thought that this time, my dad and I caught a lot of miscellaneous sea fish and sold them for six or seven hundred yuan, which would barely keep up with your pace, Bayi."

"I can't believe I still can't keep up."

Niu Bayi modestly replied, "No, no, these crabs weigh at most about 300 jin, they won't fetch much money."

Boss Wu glared at him.

"Who said it wouldn't sell for much? I'll buy it from you for 3 yuan a pound. You have at least 300 pounds, that's 900 yuan. Although it's not as much as I used to earn, it's still a good price for the whole village, even the whole town—"

"There aren't many people as good at fishing as you."

"Come on, get on the scale! We'll exchange money for goods!"

"Wow, so many crab-like tigers! I've struck gold! I've struck gold!"

At this point, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and chuckled at Niu Bayi.

"Of course, you still earn more."

He Zhenzhen spat.

"No way! Catching crab gobies is such a hassle, we have to toss and turn at sea all the time. It's nothing like you being a middleman, you don't have to suffer at all, and you can just sell them for a fortune."

Boss Wu let out a strange cry.

"Oh dear, Zhenzhen, you can't say that. I earn my money through hard work. If I can't sell it, the goods will be stuck with me. Do you think I can always get a good price every time I come here to buy fish?"

"uncertain!"

"Apart from acquiring it from Bayi, we're guaranteed to make money!"

"This is a perfect alliance! One of us fishes, the other sells! A match made in heaven, a perfect union, a long and happy marriage!"

Upon hearing this, Niu Ba got goosebumps all over.

"Holy crap! Boss Wu, if you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them randomly. You're giving me goosebumps all over the Pacific Ocean. Hurry up and weigh how much this batch is."

He Rong and He Laifu also helped to scoop out all the crabs and tigers to weigh.

This title was unexpected by everyone.

It weighs a full 330 jin!

At 3 yuan per jin, that's 990 yuan.

Boss Wu was quite generous; he pulled out a stack of ten-yuan notes and slapped them into Niu Bayi's hand.

"Here's 1000 yuan, keep the change. Next time you have this kind of good stuff, remember to sell it to me."

He Zhenzhen snorted and pointed towards the bow of the boat.

"Boss Wu, did you see what's written on the bow of the boat? The word 'county'! This means that my Bayi fish can sell at the county dock. If you don't raise your price, we'll just sell directly in the county."

"It could fetch an even higher price."

Mr. Wu was dumbfounded.

Then, he felt a pang of anxiety.

Niu Bayi had actually seen the word "county" on the bow of his boat a long time ago.

When I saw it, I was quite shocked, but I didn't dare to say anything. I could only pretend to be confused and pretend that the fishing boat of the August 1st Army didn't have the word "county" on its bow.

From then on, Niu Bayi would sell his fish to him whenever he went out to sea.

But now He Zhenzhen has brought it all to light.

This made his heart feel like it was being pricked by needles, throbbing with each beat.

He had a bitter face.

"Here's what we'll do, Bayi. From now on, whatever fish you catch, I'll add 10% to the price. For example, I'll buy this crab tiger from you for 3 yuan per jin right now."

"How about 3.3 yuan per jin from now on?"

"Think about it, how far it is to the county, how much diesel fuel it takes, how much money it costs to go back and forth, and how much time it takes. If you come back sooner, you can rest sooner, isn't that better?"

Mr. Wu explained it in detail.

Niu Bayi smiled brightly, his manner decisive and efficient.

"Alright, Mr. Wu, if you're willing to raise the price, I'm too lazy to bother with any more trouble, so I'll just sell it to you."

Upon hearing this, Boss Wu was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Actually, Niu Bayi figured that since it was just a small-scale operation, selling it to Boss Wu wouldn't be a problem.

Just as he said, it saved on diesel costs and time, but later, with a bigger boat, we could go to farther seas and catch more fish, thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms.

But then they'd have to be sold at the county town's dock.

They even had to be sold at the city docks!

Sell ​​it to a bigger port!

After getting everything done, Niu Bayi asked He Zhenzhen to take a large piece of clam meat back so her mother could make dried clam meat.

He Zhenzhen said, "Okay, you can rest well on the fishing boat. I'm going home to sleep too, my eyes are so sleepy I can't keep them open."

She clenched her two little fists and stretched vigorously.

Instantly, his swollen chest bounced around in front of Niu Bayi.

Good rabbit!

What a big rabbit!

This made him want to catch a rabbit and play with it, so after thinking for a moment, he reached out his hand...
