Chapter 195

According to the dock's rules, normally when someone says they want something, this group wouldn't bother, but this time it's coconut crab, which is rare, so everyone refuses to leave.

Laolin grabbed Ye Cheng's hand, pretending to be familiar, said, "Lao Er, I'm old acquaintances with your brother, very familiar, you caught however many coconut crabs isn't fixed, sell me one, price negotiable."

"Right, right, things caught at sea never have a fixed amount, besides, no one would have pre-ordered coconut crab, right?"

"Lao Er, you want to sell for a higher price in the city, right? Don't worry, if you're not satisfied with our price, you don't have to sell."

Several people surrounded Ye Cheng, chattering, and others who came to watch also gathered around.

"What thing? What did you catch?"

This worked out, the front wave receded and the rear wave surged, directly blocking Ye Cheng at the dock; he couldn't get out.

Ye Cheng turned his head to look at Gongchen; Gongchen already knew he'd caused trouble, gave an embarrassed smile and hid.

Xiao Hu looked at this crowd and also scratched his head; many he knew, nothing could be done.

"Lao Er, I offer 200 per catty, sell me one, how about that?" Laolin directly started bidding.

"200? Laolin you're too stingy, I offer 250."

As soon as Laolin started bidding, someone immediately followed up.

In later times, coconut crab sells for a few hundred or over a thousand; in this era, over two hundred is not low.

"I offer 260, I'll take them all."

"270!"

"I offer 300 per catty, sell to me; for the big one I offer 350 per catty."

When the price reached 300 per catty, everyone fell silent; this thing is rare, but who dares to guarantee they can sell it?

They're just making money by flipping; if it ends up stuck in their hands, that would be funny.

Ye Cheng didn't particularly want to sell; he estimated that if he took it to the city and found Wang Ke, he could sell it for 500, and there he wouldn't worry about sales.

"Like this, everyone..."

Ye Cheng had just opened his mouth to say he wanted to sell in the city, when Laolin suddenly raised his right hand, face flushed, and shouted loudly.

"I offer 500 per catty."

The whole venue was shocked!

Those on the periphery who didn't understand were even more frightened, their teeth almost falling out.

"Wow! 500 per catty!"

"Could it be wild big yellow fish?"

"Not big yellow fish, it's coconut crab."

"Coconut crab? Someone actually got coconut crab?"

"By the way, we actually still have this stuff."

"500 per catty, that one would cost over a thousand, so expensive."

When that price was announced, Ye Cheng was startled; is it that exaggerated? Bidding 500 per catty.

In later times it's just a few hundred; what year is this now? Laolin must be crazy.

After Laolin finished bidding, he looked around like a victorious king, checking if anyone else would bid.

Who would still bid at 500? Everyone isn't stupid, or rather not everyone has the channel to spend that much.

If the price were 500 per catty, Ye Cheng thought it was okay, he was about to speak, when he saw a commotion behind the crowd, the crowd parted, and several young men and women with distinctly different attire walked in.

Laolin's face changed, he glanced nervously at Ye Cheng: "Lao Er, I've offered 500, hurry up and calculate the money."

Seeing him like that, Ye Cheng knew these youngsters were different; before he could speak, the leading handsome guy arrogantly spoke.

"What are you selling? Let us have a look too."

Ye Cheng curled the corner of his mouth into a faint smile, opened the water tank: "Just a few crabs, interested?"

"Crabs? A few crabs and you all crowd around, haven't you seen them before?" He leaned in to take a look, his brows immediately furrowed.

"Is this a crab?"

A few of his peers also came over, frankly speaking, the appearance of coconut crab is really unimpressive, it looks more like a spider.

"This is coconut crab, it eats coconuts, supposedly the crab meat has a faint coconut fragrance, very rare." The handsome guy's companion, a beautiful woman who knows her stuff, explained to him.

This beautiful woman is not old, dressed very fashionably, with a head of big wavy curls; the jewelry hanging from her neck and ears aren't gold, ordinary people wouldn't recognize them, but Ye Cheng recognizes them as luxury goods.

Luxury goods in this era can be more expensive than in later times; this expense is relative.

In later times a certain brand's bag costs tens of thousands; now it's also tens of thousands, and not everyone can access it.

This bunch is not simple.

Heard that this is a relatively rare item, the handsome guy's face showed an interested expression.

"You were just shouting a few hundred per catty for this?" The handsome guy looked at Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng nodded, pointing with his right hand at Laolin: "Just now this boss offered 500 per catty, handsome guy, interested in making a bid?"

That handsome guy smirked, turned to look at his companions.

Then he turned, put his arm around the beautiful woman beside him, and exaggeratedly said,

"500 per catty? You're just fighting over this little bit? Ah, haha."

The handsome guy laughed, and the others also laughed, laughing wildly.

The laughter was grating; although the people around looked displeased, no one stepped forward to stop it, since everyone is in business, it's clear this group is different from them, and nobody wants to cause trouble.

Ye Cheng's gaze gradually turned sharp, he was quite displeased, feigning ignorance.

He didn't wait for them to finish laughing, he snorted contemptuously twice, looking at the handsome guy and said, "Handsome guy, if you have no money, don't pretend to be a big spender; 500 per catty, do you know how much that is? These few added together weigh over ten catties, that's nearly ten thousand."

Laolin stared at him with wide eyes, "Damn, you're ruthless, this added up is only about fifteen."

Lin Feng then said, "See? Everyone here is a big boss, each has a shop."

"Young man, it's not me saying this, look at your girlfriend—she doesn't even have a gold accessory, yet she wears this brass ring; you can't afford something like coconut crab, you kids better hurry home, don't disturb us adults doing business."

Ye Cheng waved his hand, signaling for this group to leave quickly.

After he said that, the people around immediately felt less uncomfortable and all joined in the jeering.

"Exactly, you can't afford it, hurry up and leave."

"Go on, go on, you can't even afford gold, yet you're still bragging here."

"I didn't even notice, really, the color of this ring's yellow is wrong; at a glance it's not gold, it's far inferior to my wife's big gold ring."

Only Laolin turned deathly pale, standing there afraid to speak.

Young people are easily hot-headed; Ye Cheng called them children, said they were bragging, with a round of sarcasm, plus the crowd adding fuel to the fire, this group instantly exploded in anger on the spot.

That beauty was so angry she trembled all over, raising her right hand and saying, "You bunch of country bumpkins, what do you know? This is Cartier, what do you know? It's a luxury brand; my ring costs 40,000 yuan, far more valuable than your cheap gold."
