Chapter 264

What? There's a Big yellow fish? Xiao Hu instantly understood Ye Cheng's meaning, stepped over the fish pile and walked over, taking the Big yellow fish from Ye Cheng's hand to examine it.

Right, you look at the scales, look at the color, then look at the mouth, isn't that right? Ye Cheng asked eagerly. He also desperately needed confirmation.

Brother, it really is a Big yellow fish.

Xiao Hu looked for a while and finally confirmed it; the two of them didn't dare to just throw them away anymore, hurriedly fetched the Water Tank, set it up for all these fish, then slowly identified them, fearing they'd die before being recognized, which would be a huge loss.

This net caught about 150 jin of fish, not many, and not all were Big yellow fish; the two picked through them, spending over an hour, and picked out slightly less than half, about 80 jin of Big yellow fish.

These Big yellow fish were placed separately in a compartment and given aeration.

Seeing the dense Big yellow fish, Ye Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

Brother, how much money do you think these Big yellow fish can sell for? Xiao Hu squatted by the compartment edge, looking, this isn't a Big yellow fish, it's a big gold bar.

How would I know? 2000 should at least be attainable.

2000, that is 2000 per jin.

Regarding this outrageous price of Big yellow fish, Ye Cheng had seen it in some news before.

It was about a certain restaurant in the Magic Capital, where a few people spent 400,000, the most expensive being a Big yellow fish weighing 7 jin, priced at 15,000 per jin, totaling over 110,000.

15,000 per jin, of course, mainly because this Big yellow fish is heavy; once a Big yellow fish exceeds 3 jin, its price differs.

Now this batch of Big yellow fish certainly won't reach that price, but 2000 per jin should be attainable; no matter what, this time we've struck it rich.

Thinking of being able to sell at 2000 per jin, Ye Cheng suddenly remembered, he reached out and flicked a chestnut onto Xiao Hu's head,

Damn, I just remembered, you just threw away one; if that was a Big yellow fish, the loss would be huge.

Xiao Hu had wanted to resist, but Ye Cheng's reminder made him wilt instantly, "Ah, surely not that bad."

If I really had thrown away a Big yellow fish, never mind the price, Xiao Hu felt even heaven wouldn't spare him.

Not a problem, not a problem, be careful next time, let's go, we're about to head back. Ye Cheng yawned.

It's already 2 a. m., after this day without rest, Ye Cheng himself is sleepy.

The two yawned as they piloted the Boat back to the Matou; under the dim lights, the Matou was deserted.

With so many Big yellow fish, Ye Cheng didn't want to sell them at the Matou; he wanted to contact Wang Ke to sell.

So the two worked together to lift the Big yellow fish back, then had Xiao Hu return to the Boat to stand guard, after all there were still over a hundred jin of other fish; this batch could be sold directly at the Matou once Xiao Hu woke up.

Young people are energetic and fall asleep quickly; Ye Cheng lay down at 4 o'clock, and when he woke up the sun was high in the sky, he picked up his phone and saw it was 10 o'clock; damn, he really could sleep.

There was also a message on his phone from 7 a. m.; Xiao Hu had finished selling the fish over there, making over 4000, then went home to catch up on sleep.

Right, the Big yellow fish!

Ye Cheng recalled, he sprang up from bed with a flip, but as he started walking he tripped on something underfoot, dazed and nearly falling flat on his face.

He lowered his head to look—damn, Da Huang was staring at him with a resentful gaze, clearly unhappy about being stepped on.

"Yo, bro, sorry, sorry." Ye Cheng hurriedly squatted down and rubbed its big bald head.

"You're hungry, huh, Cheng? I'll get you food right away."

This is a big shot, Ye Cheng felt this guy was more awesome than the system; yesterday he told himself to shift a bit to the right, and really hauled in a net of big yellow fish.

Although it might also be due to the system, it doesn't stop Ye Cheng from pampering Da Huang so much; being alone, he's still a bit lonely.

He made Da Huang a simple breakfast—anyway, that's all it eats—then Ye Cheng went to check on the big yellow fish.

Good, they're still alive, just their vitality has dropped a bit; they need to be sold quickly.

He pulled out Wang Ke's phone; for this wild big yellow fish, it's still best to contact him.

After last time learning that Ye Cheng was familiar with Lao Wang and Xiao Rou, Wang Ke's attitude toward him improved considerably,

"Yo, Ye Cheng, why are you free to see me so early? Got something good or just good news?" Wang Ke looked in a good mood.

"Bro, I don't come to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing; I wouldn't dare look for you if I had nothing—just caught some fish, wondering if you want any?"

"Sure, we're old acquaintances; any fish, as long as it's about the same and the quality isn't too bad, I'll take it off your hands."

"Big yellow fish, wild." Ye Cheng said softly; saying those few words made him feel a bit proud—big yellow fish, wild, yeah, that's just how awesome it is.

There was a pause on the other end, then Wang Ke's voice dropped: "You're sure it's big yellow fish, not small yellow fish?"

Ye Cheng chuckled: "Bro, could I even lie to you?"

"Fine, I'll take however much you have." Wang Ke agreed outright; even though his haute cuisine rarely sees wild big yellow fish, now that there's stock, he certainly wants it.

"Around 80 catties." Ye Cheng glanced at the water tank beneath his feet; it should be about that.

"How... how much?" Wang Ke stumbled over his words: "80? You're sure it's 80 catties?"

Wild big yellow fish is expensive precisely because it's rare; normally catching one or two is considered good, but Ye Cheng pulling out 80 catties made him think it was sardines.

"Bro, I couldn't possibly lie to you, really."

The other side fell silent for a moment, then spoke solemnly: "Like this, I'll drive over; you wait for me in the village—my car has a dedicated feeding and simulated seawater tank, so the fish won't die en route."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Since Wang Ke is willing to drive over, Ye Cheng is also happy to make the trip—though who knows, it's hard to say whether he'll end up killing the fish.

Wang Ke arrived quickly, reaching Ye Cheng's place in 40 minutes.

It was still his first visit; seeing Ye Cheng's shabby little courtyard, he frowned: "Come on, Ye Cheng, are you pretending to be poor? You've got money, yet you still live in this dump."

Ye Cheng led him inside: "Bro, that's just how the village is; I can't exactly build a villa on my own, and besides, this is comfortable, with a touch of nature."

Wang Ke pursed his lips, noncommittal.

Once inside, Wang Ke was somewhat surprised: "Damn, you've got air conditioning, a water heater, even a computer—you sure know how to enjoy life. Others are gold and jade on the outside, you're rags on the outside, but your belly's full of good stuff."

"Well, I'm not used to having no air conditioning or water heater." Ye Cheng spoke frankly; he's gotten used to blowing the AC in modern times, so not having it now feels uncomfortable.
