Chapter 230: Crayfish Sells Well

After taking a bite, big brother's eyes cleared and instantly shone.

After two consecutive bites, that sense of satisfaction was written all over his face.

「Big brother, how about it? Want two catties? 」

「Damn! Give me 5 catties, two catties isn't enough. 」 Big brother couldn't help sucking his finger.

「Sorry, limit 2 catties per person. 」 Ye Cheng picked up the sign to show the big brother.

「Hell, I want to buy more, why not? I just felt your rule isn't right—are you trying to jack up the price because more people want to buy? 」

Not allowing big brother to buy more, he became unhappy.

Ye Cheng could only patiently explain that this stuff exceeds heavy metal limits, eating too much is bad, so he only sells two catties at a time.

Big brother looked bewildered, 「No, you shrimp seller, what's with this heavy metal excess? What does that mean? I don't get it at all. 」

Ye Cheng gave a hehe smile, lowered his voice and said, 「Big brother, does your sister-in-law use cosmetics? 」

「Yeah, so what? You also sell cosmetics? 」 Big brother looked at Ye Cheng warily; cosmetics are expensive, he didn't want to waste money on them.

「No, cosmetics contain heavy metals; using too much is bad, same with these shrimp—they also have them, but you can't eat too much. 」

Upon hearing that, big brother instantly understood, 「Damn, I said my mouth swelled after kissing my wife once—I get it now, young man, you've got a good heart. 」

This deal was done.

Zhang Guafu held 20 yuan, face full of joy—turns out this stuff can actually make money.

After gaining confidence, Zhang Guafu spoke more crisply, and Ye Cheng simply stepped aside and stopped interfering.

40 catties of crayfish sold out in over two hours, collecting a total of 430 yuan.

Zhang Guafu counted the money several times, so happy her mouth couldn't close.

「A Cheng, it really sells that well—won't you be able to pay back the money soon? 」

Seeing Zhang Guafu so enthusiastic, although it was a buzzkill, Ye Cheng still spoke up,

「Aunt, spicy crayfish has no technical barrier; at most half a year, as little as three months, someone will imitate it, then profits will drop, so we'll need to find other ways later. 」

「What? Only half a year? 」 Zhang Guafu looked regretful—such a good business, how can it only last half a year?

「Half a year isn't bad—making 400 yuan a day, half a year yields several ten thousand; be content, Aunt. 」

After selling out, Ye Cheng packed up, took Zhang Guafu, and went back.

From now on she can only rely on herself taking the bus or hitching a ride with Li Yong to sell; Ye Cheng can't help it—he can't be delivering every day.

He also doesn't have that much time.

Returning to the village, Jiang Yunxiang and several familiar aunts came over; they all knew today was the first day selling crayfish and wanted to see how Zhang Guafu's sales went.

As the motorcycle stopped, Zhang Guafu jumped off, took some fruit and snacks from the bike, and began distributing them to the elderly aunts.

「Yo, Xiuqin, you're getting sugary—sales are good? 」 Jiang Yunxiang teased.

「Looking at Xiuqin like that, she must have made quite a bit. 」 Qian Shen was also curious.

Actually, they all wanted to see if the crayfish Ye Cheng came up with could really make money.

Zhang Guafu didn't hide it—these people had helped her during her hospitalization.

「Sold out, over 400 catties. 」 Zhang Guafu couldn't keep the corners of her mouth down.

「Really sold out? 」

「Anyone buying at ten yuan per catty? 」

「How can city folk be so stupid? 」

These elderly aunts said city folk are stupid, but their eyes were on Zhang Guafu's money.

Whether they're stupid or not, we don't know, but this money is real.

Zhang Guafu, an unemployed vagrant, now relying on Ye Lao Er's method, can earn several hundred yuan a day—who wouldn't be jealous?

Ye Cheng also couldn't help it; imitation is inevitable, he just hopes they don't recklessly undercut prices.

The crayfish market is huge; there's no need to resort to price-cutting right at the start.

Ye Cheng saw the hostile looks from the elderly aunts, decisively went home—if anyone asks, it's awkward either way.

Sure enough, that evening Jiang Yunxiang came over, first putting the vegetables she was holding down for Ye Cheng, 「Well, this is some braised beef I made for you—have it with your meals. 」

After saying that, Jiang Yunxiang looked hesitant to speak further.

Ye Cheng saw this meant something, and said, 「Sister-in-law, just speak up—we're family, no need for formalities. 」

Jiang Yunxiang's face showed embarrassment, she brushed her hair beside her ear, looked at Ye Cheng and said, 「Um, A Cheng, Qian Shen and the others want me to ask you: can you also teach them how to make this crayfish? 」

Ye Cheng's face darkened—indeed, everyone wants to get rich from this.

If it were others, it'd be fine, but they pushed Jiang Yunxiang forward, making it hard for her to refuse.

Looks like this exclusive business is going to be tough.

Seeing Ye Cheng's embarrassed expression, Jiang Yunxiang felt even more awkward,

「Um, A Cheng, since it's troublesome, forget it—I just came to ask; mainly, a few families in the village aren't well-off, they want a side hustle to help out, and they've turned to you via me. 」

「Sister-in-law, it's not that it's difficult, but let me think about how to run this business suitably; I'll tell you later. 」

Since everyone is interested, we might need to change the business model, but Ye Cheng hasn't figured it out yet.

Moreover, he hopes Zhang Guafu can keep doing it for a while longer, after all, right now it's her exclusive market.

Hearing Ye Cheng's indirect agreement, Jiang Yunxiang was overjoyed—no matter what, her stepping in as sister-in-law still has effect.

Now we can explain this to everyone; as for whether we can partner up later, we'll see.

After seeing Jiang Yunxiang off, Ye Cheng also felt a bit tired, too lazy to think about this troublesome matter.

Wait a couple days for his thoughts to clear, then talk.

Franchise, partnership, or solo—each has its own approach.

Four days have passed since promising Li Lao, Ye Cheng himself is getting a bit anxious; he woke up, did nothing, and directly opened the system:

Luck Value: 80+20

Seeing the Luck Value of 100 before him, Ye Cheng shouted, "Damn! Finally here."

He flipped out of bed, picked up the phone and called Li Lao, arranging to go out to sea today.

Li Lao had been waiting impatiently; if it weren't for his earlier promise to Ye Cheng and the fact that his own divers couldn't be found, he wouldn't have waited this long.

Upon hearing today they could go out to sea, he hurriedly summoned people to prepare for the trip.

As for Ye Cheng, he didn't need to go into the city to take a boat; he could just wait right here at the dock.
