"What? Say it out loud so I can be envious?" Li Chao on the other side of the video politely followed Zhang Qicheng's words.
"Lobster, Jingxiu lobster. I just caught a colorful Chinese Jingxiu at the bottom of the sea. It weighs more than two kilograms. The first mate who went down with me was so amazed by it. Haha, I wonder what expression Xiang Yang would have if he knew about it. This is a Chinese Jingxiu lobster. He must be regretting giving me a diving suit, right?" Zhang Qicheng saw Xiang Yang through the front camera of his mobile phone and boasted deliberately.
Xiang Yang: “…”
"Ouch." Zhang Qicheng turned around pretentiously, as if he had just discovered Xiang Yang, and said with a look of surprise: "Brother Xiang, you are here too? Did you catch something good too?"
Xiang Yang nodded silently.
Zhang Qicheng was quite surprised to see Xiang Yang nod, but he was confident that what Xiang Yang caught was not as valuable as what he caught.
Zhang Qicheng said with a smile: "I just went down and caught some things. Brother Xiang, why don't you guess what I caught?"
Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, "Lobster."
"It's a big lobster, the Chinese Jingxiu lobster." Zhang Qicheng corrected with a serious face.
Xiang Yang looked at Zhang Qicheng's smug look and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Okay, I get it. It's a big lobster, a Chinese Jingxiu lobster. Boss Zhang, how about you guess what I caught?" Xiang Yang asked with a smile.
Zhang Qicheng looked at the net bag in Xiang Yang's hand.
Inside the densely packed small mesh holes, there seemed to be a gray mass of something.
Zhang Qicheng guessed, "Lobster too? Rock lobster?"
Xiang Yang nodded first, then shook his head, "I did catch a rock lobster weighing more than two kilograms, but I let it go."
"What? You caught a rock lobster weighing more than two kilograms and then released it?" Before Zhang Qicheng could say anything, Li Chao said bitterly on the phone, "Brother Xiang, you are so confused. Wild rock lobsters weighing more than two kilograms are rare in the market now. Why did you release it? Give it to me. I need it right now."
Zhang Qicheng rolled his eyes and said to Li Chao, "Old Li, do you believe what Brother Xiang said when he was joking? If I say I just caught a blue whale and then released it, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe what you say, but I believe what Brother Xiang says." Li Chao said.
"Okay, believe it if you want." Zhang Qicheng rolled his eyes.
Xiang Yang smiled. Although Zhang Qicheng seemed to be saying that he didn't believe in him, in fact, this just meant that Zhang Qicheng had already treated him as his own. Within an appropriate range, some jokes could be made.
Li Chao seemed to trust himself very much, but in fact, he was more polite in his words.
"I really did catch a rock lobster weighing more than two kilograms and then released it." Xiang Yang said helplessly: "Because my net bag is too small, I have more important things to catch."
Zhang Qicheng looked at Xiang Yang with a smile.
This time even Li Chao was not polite.
What kind of seafood is more important than a rock lobster weighing more than two kilograms
Well!
It really does exist.
For example, French blue dragon, Chinese sphenanthera, and yellow croaker.
But Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng would never believe that Xiang Yang's net bag was filled with French blue dragon, Chinese Jingxiu lobster, yellow croaker and other things.
Xiang Yang did not say anything, and directly handed the net bag to Zhang Qicheng and said: "You can take a look at it yourself. I remember you all bought this thing, so help me estimate the price."
Zhang Qicheng took the net bag handed to him by Xiang Yang, but did not open it.
He smiled and handed a net bag to Xiang Yang, "This is what I just caught at the bottom of the sea. Although it's not as good as yours, even rock lobsters would throw it away if they saw it, but it is indeed a little rarer than rock lobsters. Take a look at mine."
Xiang Yang took Zhang Qicheng's net bag with a smile. This guy was indeed a little too proud of himself after catching a Chinese Jingxiu lobster.
"Let me see yours." Zhang Qicheng slowly untied Xiang Yang's net bag, "Old Li, open your eyes wide and see what kind of sea fish it is. Compared with the other one, the rock lobster is..."
Zhang Qicheng was halfway through his words when his eyes suddenly widened and his voice stopped abruptly. The expression on his face changed from curiosity and disdain at the beginning to horror and disbelief.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, are you mute?" Li Chao shouted quickly when he saw Zhang Qicheng like this.
Zhang Qicheng finally came to his senses and looked at Li Chao in the video and said apologetically, "Old Li, I'm sorry, I'm at sea now, and the signal here is not very good. I'll hang up first. We can talk later if we have anything else."
"Nonsense." Li Chao was immediately annoyed. "If you dare to hang up the phone, I will go to your seafood wholesale city right now."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qicheng was not afraid at all. "Go ahead, go ahead. If you like any of my seafood, just talk to the manager and tell him that I have already agreed. I will give you whatever you want this time."
Li Chao was shocked when he heard this. "No way? Lao Zhang? You are so generous this time?"
Zhang Qicheng held up the net bag and said with a smile: "Because as long as this bag of things is in my hand, no matter what you take from me, you have to return it to me in person later."
Li Chao blinked his eyes. He was almost dying of curiosity. "What on earth is this thing? Brother Zhang, I call you brother. Tell me."
Zhang Qicheng blushed for a rare moment, "No, Brother Chao, you should just call me Qicheng. I'm not used to you calling me brother."
"Brother Xiang, you should say it. This thing is yours." Zhang Qicheng handed the net bag back to Xiang Yang with a wry smile. He was really embarrassed as he was showing off a Jingxiu lobster.
It turns out that compared with Xiang Yang, he is nothing.
Ever since Zhang Qicheng saw what was in the net bag, he knew that Xiang Yang was not bragging.
Compared with what's in Xiang Yang's net bag, what is a rock lobster
Not to mention rock lobsters, even Jingxiu lobsters have to stand aside.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, you should go ahead and talk. I think you guys want this batch of goods. Please give me an estimate for the price. If it's suitable, I'll sell it to you. As for the specific distribution, you can discuss it with Brother Chao."
Zhang Qicheng immediately looked at Li Chao in the video and said angrily: "I came out with the boat this time. I'll take the big part and you take the small part."
Li Chao said directly: "First tell me what it is."
Zhang Qicheng pointed the opening of the net bag toward the camera and said, "See for yourself."
Li Chao enlarged the screen, stared at it carefully for a while, and said unsurely: "Is this the best sea cucumber, the plum blossom sea cucumber?"
"Yes, they are genuine sea cucumbers, fresh out of the water. The average size is as thick as a child's arm, and the largest one is about half the size of my arm." Xiang Yang smiled and took out a sea cucumber from the net bag to show Li Chao.
Li Chao stared at the screen, his breathing became rapid and his eyes were wide open.
