Chapter 535: Chapter 336: You Wouldn’t Want It to Cool Down and Then Turn Into a Prairie, Would You?_2

"So, the price of True Mackerel in Xia City is a bit higher than in the north, averaging about one hundred and thirty today. Ours is fresh enough, and the fish are fat, so I charge one hundred and thirty-five."

Chu Mingcheng nodded in understanding, recalling when he used to sell fish himself, he would be familiar with the market prices in Wen City.

When selling in Xia City, he would also make sure to understand the market first.

But now he had handed it all over to Zhang Wei, he hadn’t been following the local market prices closely, so it wasn’t strange that he didn’t know.

So, the total price for the True Mackerel is two hundred and eleven thousand five hundred and thirty yuan.

After the True Mackerel, there are twenty-one boxes of coral fish and deep sea fish, which are more troublesome to count today due to the variety in number and types.

Twenty-one boxes of fish, weighing a total of three thousand one hundred and thirty-three jin.

Each type of fish listed includes its weight and price per unit; Chu Mingcheng flipped directly to the last page to view the total.

The total price is five hundred and eighty-six thousand, making the average price per unit about one hundred and eighty-seven yuan.

The remaining sixteen foam boxes, one of which contains Da Long Six-line Fish, only sold for four thousand, including a few Wolf Eels.

Fifteen boxes of Big Head Cod, plus the two hundred jin of fish Chu Mingcheng processed himself, tallied up to a total of two thousand three hundred and twenty jin.

The price per unit of Big Head Cod wasn’t high, just thirty, for a total of sixty-nine thousand six hundred yuan.

Because the Yellow Sea has Big Head Cod, some places in the north might be cheaper.

Upon seeing this price, Chen Yang said, "Ah Cheng, I think you undersold by fishing for this cod. If these sixteen boxes were coral fish and deep sea fish, you could have made an extra hundred thousand or even two hundred thousand yuan."

Chu Mingcheng nodded, "Indeed, but I just happened upon them and thought the customers would like them, so I especially fished for them. An extra hundred or two hundred thousand, I actually don’t care."

"Damn, that’s full Versailles talk!" Chen Yang immediately rolled his eyes.

Zhang Wei sighed, "With Ah Cheng’s income this time, he really doesn’t care about an extra hundred or two hundred thousand."

Once the small fish were all sold, it was time for the big fish.

The huge Seven-band Grouper, weighing three hundred and sixty-one jin, was bought by Zhang Wei in one go for one hundred thousand yuan.

If he sold it himself, he could make a profit of a few thousand to ten thousand yuan.

FInally, there were the forty-seven Bluefin Tunas.

When Chu Mingcheng saw the total price, he gasped suddenly.

He knew it would be a lot, but he hadn’t expected this much.

Each weighed over two hundred jin, with the largest being over four hundred and eighty jin.

The cheapest one went for one hundred and eighteen thousand, while the most expensive was priced by Zhang Wei at six hundred and sixty-six thousand.

The average price came to two hundred and twenty-three thousand, with a total price of ten million and forty-eight thousand yuan.

"Damn, why fish for deep sea fish at all? I might as well just fish for Bluefin Tuna," Chu Mingcheng joked upon seeing this total.

Zhang Wei scoffed in response, "You think Bluefin Tuna are like wild grass by the roadside, just grab them by the handful?"

"If they were that easy to encounter, we would have been billionaires a long time ago!"

Chen Yang also nodded, "We were already very lucky during the previous fishing contest to catch so many Bluefin Tunas."

"I heard that a lot of fishermen have now gone to the place where we fished during the contest, and they actually caught quite a few Bluefin Tunas."

"Is that so?" Chu Mingcheng was taken aback, then opened his map and saw that there were significantly fewer Bluefin Tunas in the northeastern part of the East Sea where they had fished during the contest.

Seeing this, he frowned, worried that if he revealed a few more good spots, the domestic population of Bluefin Tuna might really face an existential threat. Fortunately, he no longer planned to participate in fishing contests.

For his own part, he did indeed plan to increase the proportion of Bluefin Tuna on his next sea trip.

Having a haul full of mature Bluefin Tuna each time was a bit too much. Even with an advantage, he needed to be mindful of the impact.

This income of one thousand one hundred and fifty million yuan also significantly boosted his confidence in buying a house.

Including the items found in the sunken ship, those would also be worth some money when sold.

The items from the Public Sea, he wasn’t worried about the police knocking on his door; it was just that he had to waste a few oxygen tanks each time he returned.

After lunch, Chen Yang and Zhang Wei left one after the other.

Jiang Luoluo then grabbed Chu Mingcheng, her expression serious as she asked, "Ah Cheng, what’s with all the gold jewelry in the bedroom? And where did those nearly three hundred thousand Green Coins come from?"

"I exchanged gold for Green Coins at sea on purpose, to refuel. The rest, I just picked up."

"Picked up again?"

Looking at her face full of doubt, Chu Mingcheng gave a bitter smile, "Really picked up. I used up all the oxygen tanks on the ship!"

"Again with the shipwrecks?" Jiang Luoluo was a bit puzzled. Could shipwrecks be that easy to come across?

Chu Mingcheng nodded while his mind was racing fast. Finally, he decided to partially reveal his diving capabilities.

"Yes! When I reached the international waters near Japan, I caught some big head cod at a depth over three hundred meters. These fish are either around coral reefs or shipwrecks..."

"Hold on, did you say over three hundred meters?" Jiang Luoluo caught the crucial detail in his words.

"Yes, I truly have a talent for diving. Actually, I had already found most of the fishing spots in the first five days, and spent the last few days exploring shipwrecks."

"Don’t worry, although over three hundred meters is deep, I can really withstand it, and there won’t be any sequela. With such a beautiful wife at home, how could I care more about money than life!"

Chu Mingcheng knew he was about to face her wrath, so he quickly embraced her and rapidly explained the situation.

She was indeed angry at first, but the anger dissipated halfway through being embraced, and after listening to his explanation, although she was still a bit annoyed, she didn’t say much since he was already back.

In the end, Jiang Luoluo still cautioned him, "I have said before, if something happens to you, I will definitely remarry. Ah Cheng, you don’t want to be frozen and end up knowing only an empty prairie, do you?"

"Hiss~" Chu Mingcheng instinctively sucked in a breath of cold air. What a powerful threat!

He felt it was necessary to upgrade once again!

If he were to venture into the ocean now, there was still a certain risk.

Perhaps upgrading the seafood guidebook again, or continuing to capture and reinforce invasive species, would be enough to avoid mishaps during his simple adventures.

However, today’s events had come to a close, and because of the prairie crisis, aside from what treasures he could find in shallow waters, Chu Mingcheng decided not to risk venturing into the deep sea for now.

Afterward, the two of them cleaned up Sea God and moved two wolf eels onto the pickup truck.

"This big wolf eel, are you giving it to Grandpa?" Jiang Luoluo hadn’t specifically looked at the catch before, so she didn’t know there was such a big wolf eel on the boat.

But seeing the fish now, she knew what was going on.

"Yes, Grandpa specifically called, asking me to keep any good items for him. As a junior, I think it’s necessary to deliver it personally!" Chu Mingcheng started the car, saying earnestly.

Jiang Luoluo’s lips curled up, as if she had already guessed that a certain old playful child would definitely develop sudden amnesia today, stepping out of the house and becoming unable to find his way back home.

Clearly, Chu Mingcheng had also anticipated this situation, hence the truck was specially equipped with two boxes filled with crushed ice.

They arrived at Wei Jiaguo’s home; unexpectedly, he was just about to drive out.

He brightened up on seeing the pickup truck and immediately stopped his car.

Chu Mingcheng also pulled over, and both he and Jiang Luoluo got out of the truck. "Grandpa, are you about to go fishing?"

Wei Jiaguo guessed what was happening today, waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Not at all, just planning to take a stroll around."

Jiang Luoluo covered her mouth to stifle a giggle, dressed in a casual fishing outfit, this statement was quite unconvincing!

"Speaking of which, what good stuff did you get this time?" Wei Jiaguo, despite his age, moved quickly towards the rear of the pickup truck.

"A rather rare big catch," Chu Mingcheng replied as he opened the trunk, presenting the over four-meter-long wolf eel before him.

"Such a big wolf eel?" Wei Jiaguo immediately widened his eyes in shock, "Can wolf eels even grow this big?"

"Yes, I was surprised too!" Chu Mingcheng agreed.

After examining the wolf eel, Wei Jiaguo then pointed at the two ice boxes and asked, "What’s in these, the pair of meter-long groupers you promised me?"

Chu Mingcheng shook his head. "Of course not, a pair of meter-long groupers aren’t that easy to come by, these are full of crushed ice!"

Wei Jiaguo paused, then gave him a knowing look, before slipping back into his own car and saying, "You guys come in first, I’ll change cars!"
