"Ying Er Jie, we got the fish back! It's probably over ten pounds. Tonight's earnings are secured!" As soon as the net was pulled up, Li Ziyu immediately boasted to Yun Wan'er and Lu Ying Er.
"Great job! Let’s catch another one and then we can sell the fish!" The three of them exchanged proud smiles as they glanced back at the large fish in the tank.
Looking at the big fish in the tank, Shi Tian couldn't help but feel a moment of silence for it. This fish might be the one that Old Zhang caught initially. It had grown accustomed to being overlooked and had even taken a few bites from Shi Tian's hook before. Why was it so forgetful?
Whether it could escape this time depended on Li Ziyu's mood. However, it was highly unlikely; now that it was on display, it might soon take a bath in hot oil.
They cast their lines again, hoping to catch something valuable to trade for its life. If they could keep this fish in the bay outside their shop, it could become a pet!
As evening approached, Li Ziyu and the others set up their stall, and Shi Tian caught another fish. It was a skinned fish weighing around three pounds. Would it impress the Three Beauties enough to trade for that Niu Gang Mackerel?
Everyone lined up patiently, taking turns! As soon as the three opened their stall, a crowd gathered around them.
Shi Tian tossed the skinned fish into the tank while Li Ziyu quickly stepped aside to prepare for payments with her code. The line behind them shrank by two-thirds, leaving only six or seven people still waiting.
"Give me those two biggest Huang Jiao Li!"
Huang Jiao Li referred to Yellowfin Snapper; it was just a different name. From the accent, it was clear he was from Guangdong—a true foodie!
"One hundred each; scan to pay!" After scooping up the two largest Yellowfin Snapper and placing them on the scale for show, they weighed over three pounds combined—a reasonable price.
"How much for all the Huang Jiao Li?" Upon hearing the price, the man seemed eager to buy in bulk. Even if he couldn't finish them all at once, freezing some for later would be nice.
Hearing this, Shi Tian felt a wave of frustration; he picked all the best fish—how was she supposed to sell hers now?
Counting quickly, the three had caught nearly twenty Yellowfin Snapper that afternoon; most were around half a pound, with only a few exceeding one pound.
They packed everything up—seventy-one pounds total. That should be around eight hundred dollars! Estimating, only those larger ones would fetch a decent price; the smaller ones wouldn’t sell well since prices had dropped recently.
After scanning her phone, eight hundred dollars appeared in her account. The man grabbed a bag and waited for Shi Tian to scoop out his fish!
After selecting his Yellowfin Snapper and glancing at the remaining fish in the tank, their appeal seemed to drop significantly.
"Let me weigh this skinned fish."
Oh great, another foodie! If you two buy everything, how am I supposed to sell my fish?
"This one weighs three pounds; it's rare to find such a large skinned fish—one hundred bucks!" If someone could name the fish, they surely understood its value; this kind of business was always stress-free.
As two of them made their purchase, the third took one last look at the tank and decisively walked away!
Having sold a few Black Sea Bream, someone had their eye on the big fish.
"Boss, how much for this big one?"
"This fish isn't very tasty; you can only keep it as a pet! If you want it, two hundred!" It was just a casual remark when Old Zhao, who was delivering Live Shrimp, walked into the shop. Shi Tian quickly made a call to have him come over to wrap things up.
With so many Black Sea Bream, there was no way they could sell them all. The Seafood Restaurant wouldn’t use them either; the market was their best bet.
"Poisonous? Sounds unappetizing," the man said dismissively, but he was intrigued by the price.
"It's not poisonous, but it does have a bit of a fishy smell. If you're interested in buying, the shop across doesn’t clean them for you; you'll have to do it yourself at home!" Seeing that the man was interested in the fish, Shi Tian quickly added more details.
The Niu Gang Mackerel wasn’t tasty either; he had only heard about it and never tried it himself. If this guy spent two hundred on a big Niu Gang and went to the shop across to clean it, turning the whole place into a stinky mess, that would ruin their reputation!
"As long as it's not poisonous, pack it up for me! I’ll take this fish!" The man pulled out his phone and made a call.
"Old Zhang, I caught a big sea fish weighing over ten pounds! I’m treating you to fish tonight!"
"What should I bring? We have everything at home! Do you want white wine or beer?"
"Beer? Sure, I’ll grab two cases!"
"Hey! No need to be polite. You want to bring something? Fine, I don’t know what you like, so just bring two cases of beer!"
After hanging up, he made another call.
"Old Li, I’m treating you to fish tonight! Caught it at Liudao Bay; just pulled it up—over ten pounds! Great, I’ll wait for you! Don’t bring anything!"
"Why be so polite? Alright, whatever you say! I’ll head back now; waiting for you at home!"
