"Look, Boss Xiang is back."
"I really envy the Xiang family. Look at the draft of that fishing boat. I'm sure they'll have a full boatload of fish this time."
"There's no point in being envious. It's smoke coming out of their ancestors' graves."
There were gradually more and more fishermen on the shore. Compared with the monotonous life in the fishing village in the past, watching Xiang Yang unload the catch when he returned from the sea was one of the few entertainments.
The fishing boat docked, and Xiang Yang was the first to walk ashore through the unloading bridge.
"Boss Xiang, the cargo is quite large, right?" a crew member asked loudly.
"Hi." Xiang Yang glanced at the fisherman who asked the question and immediately smiled and said, "When did Fourth Grandpa become so distant? Just call me Xiao Yang."
"This is not a stranger. If I were half as rich as you, I would also like you to call me boss." Fourth Grandpa grinned.
There was an immediate burst of laughter all around, and everyone thought that this fourth grandfather was really a daydreamer.
Xiang Yang sweatdropped, "Fourth Grandpa, please don't joke with me. I'm just lucky."
"Haha, judging from the draft of your fishing boat, you must have caught a lot of fish this time, right?" Fourth Grandpa said with a smile.
"The catch is not much, mainly kelp and other things." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Seaweed is not bad either." Fourth Grandpa's eyes lit up. "This stuff is easy to catch and can be sold for four or five yuan per pound. How much did you catch?"
Xiang Yang stretched out a finger.
"Ten thousand jin?" Fourth Grandpa nodded. "Not bad, tens of thousands of dollars."
The people around also nodded. For them, tens of thousands of dollars was indeed not a small amount of money.
At this time, Fatty Zuo jumped off the boat and shouted, "You guys underestimate my brother Yang too much, don't you? Ten thousand jin, look at the draft of this boat, does it look like it only weighs ten thousand jin?"
"Uh, could it be 100,000 jin?"
"hiss-"
There was a sound of people gasping for air all around.
“Oh my god!”
"One hundred thousand jin?"
"Doesn't that mean you brought back fish worth hundreds of thousands of dollars this time?"
"This is incredible. Could it be that you sailed to the Yellow Sea and stole the kelp grown by the villagers along the coast? Otherwise, where else can there be such abundant natural kelp?"
Xiang Yang almost couldn't help laughing. "As long as there is a suitable sea area, kelp will grow in large pieces. There is too much kelp suitable for its growth in this sea outside. There is no need to steal it. The ones on my boat are all natural kelp."
"Besides, there are more than 100,000 kilograms of kelp on my boat." He laughed.
"Ha ha."
Everyone laughed dryly, "That's what I said, how could there be 100,000 kilograms of kelp?"
An old fisherman flexed his fingers and said, "Xiaoyang, you just raised one finger. That should mean ten tons, right?"
Everyone thinks this is a relatively reasonable number.
Twenty thousand kilograms of kelp is considered a great harvest.
As for one hundred thousand jin, how is that possible
Xiang Yang was suddenly at a loss for words, "I was talking about a hundred tons."
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
The fourth grandfather, who had just lit a cigarette, was choked. He coughed violently and his eyes widened. "Xiaoyang, did you just say one hundred tons?"
"hiss-"
The crowd around also gasped again, with disbelief written all over their faces.
"One ton is equal to 2,000 catties, and one hundred tons is equal to 200,000 catties."
"Hiss! Xiaoyang, did you make millions again this time?" Fourth Grandpa said in shock.
"And this is only part of what Brother Yang got." At this time, Fang Youqun walked down from the unloading bridge. He looked up and counted on his fingers proudly: "Brother Yang also caught pearls, pearl clams, swimming crabs, and fish on the way..."
Every time Fang Youqun said a name, everyone took a deep breath.
Finally, Fang Youqun concluded: "Brother Yang made at least several million on this trip."
"hiss-"
Everyone immediately took a deep breath of cold air.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Okay, please help me unload these catches onto the dock. I'll invite everyone to my house for dinner tonight."
Of course, Xiang Yang didn't need to be responsible for the unloading himself. He just left the rough work to Chen Qingsheng. He then called Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang respectively.
When Mr. Zhang heard Xiang Yang say that he had brought back hundreds of tons of kelp and the fish, he immediately became interested and said that he would send someone over right away.
Boss Li was originally not interested in these not-so-presentable catches, but when he heard that Xiang Yang still had five conches in his hand, he immediately expressed his willingness to come over.
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yang smiled. This was pretty much what he expected.
Zhang Qicheng is engaged in the wholesale of seafood, so he definitely needs things like kelp, and the inexpensive and high-quality nagoya fish is definitely what he needs.
As for Phoenix conches, although Li Chao is not a specialist in shells, Xiang Yang has not forgotten that he and Li Chao met in a shell trading group.
Here, Chen Qingsheng had just organized people to unload the goods.
Zhang Qicheng's men and Li Chao rushed over one after the other.
This time Zhang Qicheng did not come in person, saying that he would be in Liaogang for a few days before returning. The person he sent to be in charge was an elderly fat woman. This fat woman was very smart. She caught Xiang Yang and bargained with him for a long time, but Xiang Yang insisted that these were the prices he had already agreed with Zhang Qicheng on the phone. In the end, the fat woman had no choice but to complete the transaction at the price agreed upon by Xiang Yang and Zhang Qicheng.
On the other side, Li Chao waited until the fat woman left, then he looked at Xiang Yang with a smile, "Brother Xiang, where are my snails?"
"Mr. Li, why don't you come to my house and sit for a while first?" Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Li Chao looked at Xiang Yang and nodded, "Okay, let's go home and talk."
Having said that, Li Chao walked towards Xiang Yang's house in a familiar manner.
Xiang's father was not at home again, so Xiang's mother Li Chao hurriedly made tea to entertain him. Now that Xiang Yang's family was rich, Xiang's mother was willing to spend money and bought some Maojian tea for the family to entertain guests.
"Auntie, you don't have to be polite. Don't worry about me. I have something to talk to Brother Xiang about." Li Chao said with a smile.
Xiang's mother immediately said that she was not busy, and placed melon seeds, peanuts, fruits and other things on the table.
"Brother Xiang, where is your snail?" Li Chao said a few polite words to Xiang's mother and then looked at Xiang Yang, "Quickly take it out and show it to me. I've been itching for a long time."
Xiang Yang didn't hide anything and went straight back to the room and brought out two foam boxes.
These two foam boxes were both unused boxes for storing fish. The upper one contained a conch as big as Xiang Yang's head, and the lower foam box contained four smaller conches neatly placed in it.
