Chapter 252: with translation of chapter title

Ye Cheng directly called Xiao Hu out, three people dragged 6 fish traps towards the beach.

Entities: Ye Cheng, Xiao Hu, and possibly Beach. The word beach means beach. The term fish trap means fish trap (it's in the glossary). Should we list fish trap? It could be a named item or just a generic tool term; the glossary includes it, so we'll include it if it appears. Xiao Hu is already in the glossary. Ye Cheng is Ye Cheng. Ye Guowei appears later.

Three people set off from village entrance, after ten minutes Ye Guowei stopped, pointed at this beach.

Entities: Ye Guowei, Beach.

"A Cheng, I want to contract from here inward, what do you think of this side?"

Entities: A Cheng (in the glossary). Also maybe the term 'to contract' is not a name.

"This beach at village entrance is actually okay, only the small stones are a bit many."

Entities: Beach.

"Although many stones can maximally preserve original ecology, but also cause beach hardening."

Entities: Beach.

"So generally speaking, still need to clear some stones."

No new.

"The sand here is finer, suitable for clam growth, Ye Cheng has no objection choosing this place."

Entities: Ye Cheng.

"According to the width of this beach at village entrance, 50 mu is about 150 meters, some big brother is busy."

Entities: Beach? Maybe 'big brother' is generic and not a name, so we should not include it.

"Big brother, I have no objection, honestly I don't know aquaculture, just do step by step."

Entities: maybe 'big brother' is not a name.

Ye Guowei nodded, he knows more about seaside affairs than Ye Cheng, actually he could decide himself, only Ye Cheng provided the money.

Entities: Ye Guowei, Ye Cheng.

"Brothers, settle accounts clearly, still need to bring him to have a look."

Entities: maybe 'close brothers' is generic.

"Then tomorrow you and Xiao Hu don't go gleaning in daytime, come with me to put down the fencing net, I already bought the stuff."

Entities: Xiao Hu.

"Setting up fencing, definitely need pure physical labor Ye Cheng is a bit weak, but contracting the beach was his proposal, he can't say he won't do, can only agree."

Entities: Ye Cheng, Beach? Maybe 'contracting the beach' is not a name.

Three people again walked along this beach, big reefs basically none, but Ye Cheng still saw a medium-sized rock, relatively near the sea.

Entities: Ye Cheng, Beach.

"He plans to leave this rock for Da Huang, let it settle near the reef, idle come see feed, when going out to sea bring along."

Entities: Da Huang (in the glossary). Also maybe the name Da Huang corresponds to the Chinese meaning 'big yellow'.

Now, the only things we can do for the time being are these. After Ye Guowei finishes inspecting the location, Ye Cheng begins to look for a place to set the fish trap.

Entities: Ye Guowei, Ye Cheng, and fish trap. Beach? maybe not.

"By the way, brother, buying a boat has a prospect?"

Entities: maybe 'brother' is generic.

Ye Guowei shook head: "Temporarily none, but I borrowed a 5-meter small boat, can temporarily lend you, running to sea islands still fine, just load capacity general."

Entities: Ye Guowei.

"That kind of 5-meter boat is called flat-head fishing boat, after two people sit, space for cargo little, cannot drag net, but as Ye Guowei said, running to sea islands or collecting fish traps still possible."

Entities: Ye Guowei, maybe the flat-head fishing boat is a type but not a name.

"Since temporarily no fishing boat for sale, this flat-head fishing boat can also do."

Entities: none new.

"Tonight's fish trap Ye Cheng didn't casually throw, today's luck value 90, today's daytime catch obviously insufficient, definitely fell at night."

Entities: Ye Cheng, Luck Value (in the glossary). Also maybe Luck Value corresponds to the Chinese term meaning 'luck value'.

Three people walked along beach a long distance, finally found a deeper sea area, then Ye Cheng dove down and placed the fish trap.

Entities: Beach, Ye Cheng, Fish Trap.

After doing these, three people returned following moonlight.

No new.

"Next day, Ye Cheng looked at the system."

Entities: Ye Cheng.

"Luck Value: 60+20"

Entities: Luck Value.

"Points: 5020"

Points is a generic term; it's not in the glossary, although the Chinese word for points means points. It's not a named entity; it's a system term but likely considered generic, so we probably shouldn't include it.

"Savings: 170,0004 (today paid 135,000), external debt 40,000, mortgage 300,000 (including interest)."

Entities: Savings, External Debt, Mortgage (glossary). Also maybe numbers but not names.

"Points barely exceeded 5000, yesterday fishing and fish trap exchanged for some bait, spent some points."

Entities: Fish Trap.

"System hasn't updated new things for long, don't know how many points needed to update."

Entities: System? Not a name; but maybe the Chinese term for system is generic.

"Breakfast Ye Cheng ate three steamed buns, main point fill stomach, today need physical labor, not eating full will soon lack strength."

Entities: Ye Cheng.

"After eating Ye Cheng rushed to big brother's house, also rode the tricycle from Xiao Hu's home."

Entities: Ye Cheng, Xiao Hu.

"\"A Cheng, Xiao Hu, today you'll work hard, when return sister-in-law will prepare good dishes for you. \" Jiang Yunxiang handed several people a straw hat, sun protection."

Entities: A Cheng, Xiao Hu, Jiang Yunxiang.

"\"Sister-in-law, speaking of these two days lobster business how is it? \" Ye Cheng casually asked."

Entities: Jiang Yunxiang? Actually sister-in-law is Jiang Yunxiang. Also Ye Cheng.

"\"Business is great, now we can sell nearly a hundred catties of lobster per day, many people in city await us. \" Jiang Yunxiang said happily."

Entities: Jiang Yunxiang.

Ye Cheng nodded, small lobster seasonal, after this season can't, make money while have.

Entities: Ye Cheng.

Ye Guowei bought several hundred meters of fencing net, this stuff still a bit heavy, Jiang Yunxiang also followed pushing cart to beach.

Entities: Ye Guowei, Jiang Yunxiang, Beach.

When arrived at village entrance, saw several unfamiliar people chatting with village old lady about something.

Entities: maybe village entrance is not a name.

"\"Auntie, are you saying your village collects this? \""

Entities: maybe aunt is generic.

Sixth Aunt glanced at the buckets in their hands, then decisively shook her head, "This thing is everywhere—who would collect it? Our village doesn't do this."

"Ah? But it's the two young fellows from your village, surnamed Chen, who came to our village saying they'd collect, at one yuan per jin. We've caught so much, and now you say you won't collect? We've walked twenty li to get here." The outsider was getting anxious, seeing his weary expression—he must have traveled a long way.

"There are plenty of Chen-surnamed villages around here, and it's not like only our village has the Chen surname—did you walk into the wrong village?"

"Exactly, we've never seen anyone in our village dealing with this."

"No, it's not that—Zhang Guafu and Ye Lao Er seem to be handling this; they make it so smoky it's choking, and every time I ask they say they're stir-frying vegetables." Aunt Liu spoke up; she lives next door to Zhang Guafu, and the smell of the crayfish is so strong you can smell it just by sniffing.

Since they mentioned Ye Lao Er, everyone looked up and happened to see Ye Cheng and them pushing a cart past, then pointed at them.

"Well, look over there—that young rascal, he's the one collecting; go find him."

The outsider no longer had the mood to thank them, and directly walked over with the bucket toward Ye Cheng.

Watching the outsider's back, several old women started gossiping.

"Aunt Liu, you live next door to Zhang Guafu—surely there's nothing going on between Zhang Guafu and Ye Lao Er, right?"

"Right, right, I heard Ye Lao Er even lent Zhang Guafu 30,000 yuan—30,000! If there's nothing between them, I wouldn't believe it."

"Aunt Liu, be honest—have you heard any noise?"

Several people lowered their voices and surrounded Aunt Liu, satisfying her vanity greatly; if she didn't say something, she felt she couldn't get by, so she racked her brain and then spoke in a low voice.

"I remember now—once I saw Zhang Guafu come back in a panic at midnight, heading toward Ye Lao Er's place."

"Wow, I told you—definitely she's throwing herself at him, truly shameless."

"Pah! Widows just like to cling to men."

"Anything else? Anything else?"

Aunt Liu's face flushed red, her brain feeling inadequate; after thinking for a while she recalled, "Oh, there was another time—I saw Ye Lao Er deliberately open the door, standing in the doorway chatting with Zhang Guafu—don't you think that's strange?"

"What's this called? 'No silver here but three hundred taels'—done on purpose."

"Right, the two of them definitely have something going on privately; otherwise there'd be no need to make it so obvious."

Ye Cheng still didn't realize he was being set up; he only saw a plain-looking fellow block his path, then look anxious and a bit aggressive as he asked.

"Are you the ones who said you'd collect this? One yuan per jin—you brought it and now won't take it, what's the meaning of that?" The fellow opened the bucket for everyone to see.
