As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 534 - 336: You wouldn’t want to end up on a chilly prairie after all, would you?

Chapter 534: Chapter 336: You wouldn’t want to end up on a chilly prairie after all, would you?

Heading directly back from the Gonku Strait, they would arrive right in Zhe Province Wen City.

But Chu Mingcheng’s course was a bit south, obviously not planning on returning to his hometown but going straight back to Xia City.

The journey of over three hundred nautical miles, he set sail at five-thirty in the morning and only briefly stopped to cook meals. By the time he returned to Xia City, it was already seven in the morning the next day.

Jiang Luoluo had made a point of getting up early today to wait for him, Zhang Wei was naturally present, and even Chen Yang had come over.

Seeing him, Chu Mingcheng was somewhat surprised, "Why aren’t you cuddling with your girlfriend in bed but running over here so early in the morning?"

Chen Yang immediately felt embarrassed at these words and waved his hand, "What cuddling to sleep with a girlfriend, our relationship is still new and hasn’t reached that step yet. Ningning is very conservative."

It’s only the beginning of November, and they have just been dating for a month; indeed, he’s not the type to say ’I’m just rubbing.’

Zhang Wei, however, sounded a bit aggrieved, "I was sleeping so sweetly with my girlfriend this morning. Couldn’t you have notified me a day earlier?"

Chu Mingcheng, who was being affectionate with Jiang Luoluo, narrowed his eyes when he heard this, "Luoluo and I have been apart for over ten days, and just disturbing you for a bit, you still have complaints?"

"..." Now that his business depended on the other party, Zhang Wei immediately made a zipping gesture over his mouth.

That’s a bigshot, you can’t offend him even if you don’t try to curry favor!

Jiang Luoluo stood aside, pursing her lips and chuckling, watching them banter with each other.

Of course, both were joking, though Chu Mingcheng’s five o’clock morning call was admittedly a bit mischievous.

Afterward, they stopped chatting and all boarded the boat.

When they found the live fish tank empty and nothing inside, Zhang Wei and Chen Yang were somewhat perplexed, "Didn’t you catch some live fish this time? There weren’t no catches, were there?"

"They’re all in the freezer hold, go have a look for yourself." Chu Mingcheng crossed his arms and tilted his chin upward.

On hearing this, the two skeptically opened the freezer hold, and seeing that there was no room even to set foot, they were so shocked that their mouths hung open, and their jaws almost dropped.

"All Bluefin Tuna?" Zhang Wei swallowed and said incredulously.

"Did you run into a large school of fish this trip?" Chen Yang was flabbergasted.

The Bluefin Tuna were crammed to the gills of the freezer hold, and it was impossible to see the condition inside.

That ship full of large Bluefin Tuna must have at least sixty or seventy fish, right? How much would that be worth?

However, the two were not too surprised by this; they knew Chu Mingcheng could hunt with a spear and also fish.

Should he really encounter a large school of fish, these two hunting methods would undoubtedly be much faster than fishing.

"Alright, no more surprises, hurry up and get people to come over and count." Chu Mingcheng didn’t tell them the specifics inside the freezer hold but urged them to get to work.

As for Jiang Luoluo, she had already gone into the bedroom to help tidy up the bed.

Soon, with the help of the three of them, including several drivers and followers, all the catch from the freezer hold was moved out.

Zhang Wei and Chen Yang then realized that there were only forty-seven Bluefin Tuna, and other catches as well.

Especially the Wolf Eel, which had a chilling appearance. At that moment, Zhang Wei jumped high in fright.

As one fish after another was moved out, a large crowd also gathered around the dock.

A fishing boat unloading forty-seven Bluefin Tuna, all over two meters long and some even three meters, was definitely an attraction. Not just ordinary people; even the captains of nearby fishing boats had never seen such a thing.

Except for those specialized in net fishing for tunas, but they wouldn’t be at this dock!

The fifty foam boxes of catch laid out immediately attracted a large group of customers who came to the dock to buy fish.

Zhang Wei immediately began selling fish with his notebook. With so many fish, his regular customers might not be able to use them all at once; it was more reliable to sell some.

As a result, by the time all the catches were counted, there were still customers in line, and occasionally some cars would drive over, inquire, and then join the queue.

This made Chu Mingcheng and Chen Yang have no choice but to pick up a notebook themselves to help with selling fish and keeping records.

It wasn’t until half past eleven in the morning, when the customers had mostly left, that the fish were directly sold out of twenty-three boxes.

"Whew, finally sold them all!" Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his weary back.

"Making money, that’s normal!" Zhang Wei laughed happily as he tallied the morning’s earnings, delighted.

Chen Yang rolled his eyes, "It’s you who’s making money, not me."

"You can fish and sell to me too!" Zhang Wei laughed, seemingly never tired of more.

"All done? Then come on the boat and have a simple lunch!" At this moment, Jiang Luoluo seemed to notice that there were no more people on the shore, and the drivers invited by Zhang Wei had already taken the fish away, so she came out and said.

Chu Mingcheng was also just getting hungry, so he called a few people up to the boat for food.

During the meal, Zhang Wei handed over the tally book to him. All the catch from this trip on the boat, except for two Wolf Eels, were sold.

Chu Mingcheng opened the book, looked through the bill while eating.

The True Mackerel caught at the beginning totalled thirteen boxes, the tally was one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three pounds, slightly more than his original calculations.

But when he saw the unit price, Chu Mingcheng was stunned and immediately asked, "Ah Wei, how come there’s one hundred and one for this True Mackerel price, how much did you sell them for?"

After swallowing his food, Zhang Wei replied, "Oh, I sold them for one hundred and thirty-five. Xia City is southward; True Mackerel is usually transported from the north and is not considered a tropical fish."
