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

The group of fishmongers nearby seemed rather gloating.

Anyway, even if Boss Niu wants to sell ginseng, he'll sell it to you, not us.

Now that you can't collect it, everyone is on the same starting line.

Qian Dagui could only sigh deeply.

"Alright, Brother Niu, I can't force you. Since you say you won't sell, then don't sell. Keep it for yourself, then keep it for yourself. But next time, if you're still selling Uni sea cucumbers or other kinds, could you sell them to me?"

"I guarantee I'll buy it from you at a high price."

Just as Niu Bayi was about to speak, a rough, hoarse voice suddenly rang out from outside, exuding arrogance.

"Why would you buy from him at such a high price? Oh, I see there are a lot of good fish here, including a grouper weighing over ten pounds. Qian Dagui, are you going to buy all of these? You can make a lot of money from this."

Immediately, the expressions of both the fishmongers and Qian Dagui changed slightly, and they quickly stepped aside.

Niu Bayi turned his head and saw a tall, thin man with sharp eyes jump onto the dock.

He was probably around fifty years old, and there were two burly men jumping up with him; they were clearly his subordinates.

And on the dock, there were seven or eight of these guys standing there.

They all exuded a murderous aura; you could tell at a glance they were no pushovers.

Qian Dagui looked at him, his expression turning somewhat frightened.

He steeled himself, took two steps forward, and greeted them.

"Oh, it's Master Ding! Yes, Brother Niu and I bought a batch of good fish and are planning to get rid of them as soon as possible."

Then, he quickly turned his head slightly and lowered his voice.

"Brother Niu, this is Master Ding Taishan. He's a big shot at our dock, and countless people listen to him."

Upon hearing this, and considering Ding Taishan's demeanor, Niu Bayi knew that this was probably the legendary Fish Tyrant.

Ding Taishan walked over, hands behind his back, and arrogantly kicked a few fish-shaped tiles.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, these fish are all very fresh. Qian Dagui, you bought them all. How much did you pay?"

Qian Dagui responded with a wry smile.

"3800 yuan."

Ding Taishan nodded.

"3800 yuan isn't expensive, considering that among these fish there are grouper and several rockfish, so you've made a good deal. But it's very expensive, because I haven't caught any good fish these past few days. You can give these fish to me."

Qian Dagui felt embarrassed and his expression stiffened.

But before he could speak, Ding Taishan turned to look at Niu Bayi.

He chuckled and said, "You must be that Brother Niu, Boss Niu, the young man who's really good at fishing. Let me tell you, the price is too high, I won't buy these fish from you, give them to me."

"I'll name my price, and all the fish are mine."

He Zhenzhen couldn't stand his arrogance and said somewhat irritably, "What are you doing? Qian Dagui didn't say he would give you these fish."

No sooner had he finished speaking than one of Ding Taishan's henchmen stepped forward and coldly rebuked him.

"Didn't you hear our Master Ding tell Qian Dagui to give him the fish? Since Master Ding has said so, the fish belongs to Master Ding."

"Qian Dagui has no choice but to give in, whether he wants to or not!"

His domineering demeanor shocked Qian Dagui, whose face turned pale and then red.

Niu Bayi narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of coldness in them.

Ding Taishan, however, raised his hand and waved it.

"Hey, let's not be so rough. We should be reasonable and persuade people with reason. Don't scare them."

As he spoke, he looked at Qian Dagui with a kind expression.

"Da Gui, you're letting me buy all these fish, right? I won't force you. It's fine if you want to, and it's also fine if you don't."

Qian Dagui's face turned pale and then red, and he smiled bitterly, unsure how to respond.

Ding Taishan gave him a cold stare, then turned to look at Niu Bayi, his face suddenly beaming with smiles.

"Brother Niu, look, Qian Dagui didn't say anything, which means he's tacitly agreeing to let me have this batch of fish, so I'll buy it from you."

Niu Bayi smiled wryly.

"Master Ding, right? How much are you planning to pay me?"

Ding Taishan said in a serious tone, "I am a very fair person. Qian Dagui has already spent 3800 yuan, so naturally I have to give you a good price. Otherwise, if you are unwilling to sell to me, I will have wasted my time."

"Therefore, I'll offer this price."

He raised his right hand, sticking out his thumb and little finger, and shook it.

He Zhenzhen was taken aback, then a hint of joy appeared on her face. It seemed that Ding Taishan was quite generous.

She blurted it out.

"6000 yuan?"

Immediately, Ding Taishan's two henchmen behind him, along with several others standing on the dock, all burst into laughter, their laughter deafening.

He Zhenzhen was unhappy and glared at her, asking, "What do you mean? These two fingers sticking up mean six, don't they?"

Ding Taishan said slowly, "Beautiful lady, it does mean six, but how could it be 6000 yuan? It's 600 yuan. How about that? I'm generous enough to only pay you seafood 600 yuan?"

"If it were someone else, I'm afraid I'd only charge 200 yuan at most."

One of his henchmen behind him said coldly, "If it were anyone else, my boss would just take it without paying a single penny."

Another thug turned his head to look around and suddenly slapped his hand.

Snapped!

He asked loudly, "Everyone, tell me, isn't it very generous of our Master Ding to spend 600 yuan to buy all the seafood from Brother Niu? Isn't that a great deal?"

The group of people were furious but dared not speak out, their faces flushed red, not wanting to utter a single word.

Ding Taishan's face turned cold, and he said slowly, "It seems that some people here think I'm not generous. I spent a full 600 yuan. Anyone who thinks I'm not generous, step forward."

It's clear that Ding Taishan is highly respected by all the fishmongers.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the fishmonger started shouting one after another.

"Master Ding is so generous!"

"Master Ding is so generous!"

Ding Taishan then looked at Qian Dagui and asked with a smile, "Old Qian, why haven't I heard you say I'm generous?"

Qian Dagui clenched his fists in anger, but he clearly didn't dare to offend Ding Taishan, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Master Ding... Master Ding is indeed very generous."

"good!"

Ding Taishan clapped his hands, then pointed at Niu Bayi with a beaming smile.

"Brother Niu, you've heard everyone, including Qian Dagui, say I'm generous, so I'll take all these fish from you for 600 yuan. You don't have any objections, do you?"

Niu Bayi sneered repeatedly, but before he could answer, one of Ding Taishan's men pointed at the two buckets of ginseng.

"Uncle Ding, there are more treasures over there. Look, two whole barrels of ginseng. These barrels are huge; I reckon they contain at least two hundred jin of ginseng."

Ding Taishan looked over, his eyes gleaming, and he became even more shameless.

"That's right, these ginseng roots are so big, they're worth a lot of money. Here's what I'll do: I'll be generous this time and buy them from you for 1 yuan per jin (500g). Plus, you don't need to weigh them; I'll just sell them as 200 jin."

Even if it's less than 200 pounds, we'll still calculate it based on this weight.

"This is 200 yuan, plus the previous 600 yuan, that's a total of 800 yuan. All these things of yours are mine."

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Give me the money."
