Chapter 82 Sudden Wealth

Chapter 84 Sudden Wealth

The pier was bustling with activity because it was full of fish, and all of them were threadfin bream.

The large-scale appearance of these high-quality fish always attracts a large crowd.

Zhou Miao steered his fishing boat ashore, looked around, and said with a hint of regret, "With such a commotion, why didn't a single reporter come?"

"Uh, that would require several thousand kilograms of large yellow croaker, right?" Pang Hao, who had just stepped forward to congratulate him upon seeing him return, suddenly had a strange expression on his face.

I thought he was a low-key person, but I didn't expect him to like being in the spotlight.

"You look down on me, Ma Youyu, don't you!"

"No, no, no, it's their business if they look down on me, I absolutely respect them!"

"Haha, have you gotten a little fatter, Boss Pang?" Zhou Miao laughed as he saw Pang Hao reach out his hand, grabbed it, and jumped ashore, teasing him.

"Isn't this a case of being carefree and getting fat? If you could catch thousands of kilograms of giant fish every day, I'd be laughing so hard I'd get fat." Pang Hao laughed heartily, jokingly adding to the self-deprecation.

"Boss Zhou, it's been a few days since I last saw you. I didn't expect you to be as capable as ever. Before, it was two big fish weighing several hundred pounds, and today it's even a horse mare weighing several thousand pounds."

"I've been in Nanzhen for a few years now, and I've never seen anyone more capable than you." Seeing that Zhou Miao seemed to be in a good mood, Pang Yu immediately took the opportunity to come to his side and flatter him without hesitation.

Zhou Miao had actually seen him, but she thought he was someone Pang Hao had called over to do chores. She didn't expect him to come up to her on his own initiative.

Previously, Yu Muzhou exposed his attempt to lower prices, and then Pang Hao gave him a severe scolding, causing him to lose all face and dignity.

So the person who came to pick up the goods later turned out to be a kitchen helper in Pang Hao's shop. I thought the two of us would not have much contact in the future!

Looking at the mackerel that had almost filled a refrigerated truck, Zhou Miao understood why he had swallowed his pride and come over.

"I wouldn't say I'm amazing, I just had a bit of luck," he said politely.

He didn't deliberately give him a hard time because of what had happened before, since he hadn't suffered any loss, but he still maintained a certain distance.

Pang Hao realized this and knew that if his cousin offered to treat him to a meal at this time, Zhou Miao would most likely refuse.

So before his cousin could speak, he said first, "Ah Miao, I'm hosting a dinner party at Guli's Private Kitchen tonight. You and your friends must come."

Seeing that Zhou Miao was about to speak, Pang Hao raised his hand to stop him: "Don't refuse."

"First of all, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my cousin. Secondly, I also want to thank you properly. I'm sure I won't skimp on this deal, brother."

"Finally, let's celebrate today's bumper harvest—several thousand kilograms of threadfin bream! This definitely deserves a celebration, don't you think?"

"You've been babbling on and on, but I didn't say I disagreed," Zhou Miao said with a smile after he finished speaking.

He had originally planned to book a table at a private restaurant called "Guli" in the city.

But since Pang Hao had already said he was treating, he naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony.

With several thousand kilograms of threadfin bream, he could easily sell it to anyone, and the price might not be lower than what Pang Hao offered if they negotiated. So he could indeed make a lot of money this time.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll call Brother Zhou too." Hearing his agreement, Pang Hao's smile became even brighter.

"Is Brother Zhou free? I wonder what important things he's been up to these past few days. I asked him to go fishing for threadfin bream last night, but he wouldn't come," Zhou Miao asked.

Pang Hao was shocked: "Huh?! He actually managed to resist going fishing? I was wondering why I felt something was missing, turns out it's because he didn't come to the dock."

"I'll give him a call then. If he really can't come, there's nothing I can do."

Zhou Miao nodded. Although he hadn't had much contact with Yu Muzhou, he had gained a basic understanding of his character.

He genuinely enjoys fishing, at least in that respect.

He wouldn't have stayed out unless something major happened.

Then he went to Luo Qianqian and asked, "Qianqian, have you finished counting all the fish for this batch?"

Luo Qianqian sent the total weight she had noted down directly to Zhou Miao's phone.

"The count has been completed. For a normal size of four to five catties, there are a total of 3,983 catties and 2 taels of threadfin bream."

"The other three 1-meter-long threadfin bream weigh a total of 93 jin, and the seven 70-80-centimeter-long threadfin bream weigh a total of 113 jin and 6 liang. The prices for these two sizes of threadfin bream are separate."

The four or five-pound mackerel was only a dozen pounds short of reaching four thousand pounds, a number that left Zhou Miao somewhat dazed.

"Qianqian, how much was it again?"

"Boss Pang, how much is it?" Luo Qianqian asked Pang Hao, who was not far away.

Because she didn't know the price, she had been counting the weights ever since she arrived.

"Yesterday's price is today's price. Four or five catties is still 150. Seven catties weighing over ten catties is 180. Three catties are 220."

These fish weren't bled and were kept warm with ice, so their quality is definitely not as good as the ones Zhou Miao caught yesterday.

In addition, fish caught by netting are generally cheaper than those caught by fishing, so Zhou Miao was quite surprised.

"Still offering 150 yuan per jin?"

Pang Hao laughed and said, "Other fish would definitely be cheaper. For example, ribbonfish are easily scratched when caught in nets, and they don't look good."

"But the threadfin bream is not affected. Even if this batch is not bled, we can take it back and process it ourselves to make sashimi, and the taste will not be affected much."

"However, I definitely can't consume all of these myself, so I'll sell them to other restaurants at a high price and make a profit from the difference."

"So that's how it is!" Zhou Miao exclaimed in realization.

Wouldn't his nearly 4,000 catties of mackerel have sold for 597,480?

The meter-sized horse sold for 20,460, and the seven horses weighing over ten kilograms each sold for nearly 20,500.

This is what it means to become rich overnight!

Seeing this string of numbers, Zhou Miao couldn't help but grin foolishly.

But when he thought of others catching 4,000 jin of yellow croaker in one net, he immediately withdrew the silly grin that had just appeared on his face.

Compared to the lucky ones reported in the news, the value of my threadfin bream is just a fraction of theirs.

But the joy in his heart could not be contained. He was just over a thousand short of 640,000. What ordinary person would not be overjoyed?

Pang Hao naturally saw his expression, shook his head with amusement, and told his employees to speed up the tallying of the catch from the remaining three boats.

Okay, let's transfer the money quickly so the little brother can continue to have fun.

After spending a considerable amount of time, Luo Hao finally tallied up the weight of his catch. All the fish weighing four or five jin (2.5-2.5 kg) totaled 2,366 jin (1,138 catties), and there were also a few large ones.

His total earnings here amount to 378,000.

Luo Hao calculated that after giving half to Zhou Miao, he would still receive about 190,000 yuan, and he couldn't help but laugh happily.

After deducting the costs of buying the boat, there was still about 50,000 yuan left over.

It's only been one night!

It's like getting 50,000 yuan for free, plus an extra boat.

As for his sister who came to help, he was satisfied with just a few hundred yuan.

Why do girls need so much money?

Our ancestors said that a girl should be rich in virtue, not rich in money!
