Chapter 99 First voyage yielded 628195 yuan.
The second net yielded less than the first, possibly because it was in the same location.
But it still sold for yuan.
Seeing that Zhang San was about to cast the net again, Qin Yingxue quickly said, "Move the yacht a little further away."
Zhang San started the yacht according to Qin Yingxue's instructions.
Qin Yingxue calmly bought a radar detector from the mall and used it to probe the area. After discovering that there were many abalone and lobsters in this sea area, her eyes lit up and she quickly told Zhang San to stop the yacht.
Seeing Zhang San cast the net, Qin Yingxue waited excitedly on the side.
An hour later, Zhang San brought the fishing net back in, and Qin Yingxue couldn't wait to help.
A large plastic bucket was filled with abalone and lobsters, and even colorful sea fish; it looked very appealing.
Qin Yingxue sold it to the mall.
There are 120 jin of wild lobsters, priced at 200 yuan per jin, for a total of yuan.
100 catties of wild abalone, 300 yuan per catty, totaling yuan.
80 jin of beavers, 60 yuan per jin, totaling 4800 yuan.
150 catties of parrot-beaked blue-tailed catfish, 50 yuan per catty, totaling 7500 yuan.
This time, they earned a full 100,000 yuan.
Sure enough, spending 50,000 yuan on the radar detector was the right decision.
but……
Qin Yingxue stared at the words "wild lobster" and "wild abalone" displayed on the online store and fell into deep thought.
She knows that what's caught in the ocean now is all wild-caught, and therefore expensive.
Why isn't it showing up on the first website, and why is the price so low?
Is it because the lobsters and abalone are large that the mall prices them higher?
If she can't figure it out, she'll stop thinking about it. She can only trust that the mall won't cheat her, right?
So far, Qin Yingxue has not encountered any problems with the online store.
Even if there are problems, there's no way to communicate.
Afterwards, Zhang San continued to cast his nets and caught a bountiful harvest in the area detected by radar. After casting his nets five times and selling them for a certain amount of money, Qin Yingxue finally allowed Zhang San to sail away on the yacht to the next target.
The money earned from selling seafood here alone has covered the cost of the yacht and radar detectors.
Qin Yingxue was radiant and full of vigor. After informing Zhang San to stop, she bought a KFC from the mall and ate it while watching Zhang San cast his net.
After Qin Yingxue had eaten and drunk her fill, Zhang San also brought the net back in.
Qin Yingxue quickly peered out and saw a large yellow croaker, weighing a full ten pounds.
Qin Yingxue swallowed hard, then picked up the large yellow croaker herself and held it up to the sunlight.
The golden color almost blinded Qin Yingxue. She quickly took the large yellow croaker to the mall, where it was priced at 50,000 yuan per fish.
Fifty thousand yuan!
Qin Yingxue's hands trembled with excitement.
After rummaging through the plastic bucket and finding nothing else of value, she waved her hand and sold it all to the mall.
Apart from the large yellow croaker, the rest of the fish sold for a total of over 30,000 yuan.
This money is like it was found for free.
It wasn't until 4 p.m. that Qin Yingxue finally told Zhang San to stop and return to base.
After all, it's a bit far from Baisha Village, so she has to hurry back.
Lying on the recliner, Qin Yingxue began to calculate her total earnings for the day.
She kept 50 jin of the abalone she caught later in her spatial storage, since the space had a preservation function and it wouldn't spoil no matter how long it was kept there.
There are also 100 jin of lobsters left, which can be taken directly from the space whenever you want to eat them, which is very convenient.
Besides these, Qin Yingxue also kept a three-pound yellow croaker.
Today's sales to the mall totaled [amount] yuan.
Unfortunately, we didn't fully enter the deep sea today and didn't catch any good catches. Otherwise, with the radar detectors, we could have sold them for more money.
Qin Yingxue was satisfied, after all, it was her first day fishing at sea.
When Qin Yingxue returned to the Bai family empty-handed, she was surprised to find that Bai Haijian had already returned.
"Auntie..." Bai Haijian stepped forward excitedly when he saw Qin Yingxue, "I caught a golden sea bass today, Auntie, please take it home to eat..."
Qin Yingxue paused slightly, looking at Bai Haijian with a complicated expression.
She learned from Zhang San that the golden turtle perch was quite expensive, yet Bai Haijian didn't sell it to get money to keep for her to eat.
At one point, Qin Yingxue even wanted to ask him if he was stupid.
How precious is her palate that she has to eat such expensive fish?
But Qin Yingxue also knew that Bai Haijian meant well, and he was repaying her and expressing his gratitude in his own way.
"Auntie, my brother made a lot of money today." Little Haifeng, with his short little legs, hugged Qin Yingxue and raised his big head.
"How much is 'a lot'?" Qin Yingxue picked him up and asked with a smile.
“There are so many…” Xiao Haifeng made an exaggerated expression, which made everyone burst into laughter, including Yang Weijun, who was standing to the side without saying a word.
"Auntie..." Yang Weijun saw Qin Yingxue looking at him, and mustered up his courage to ask softly, "Can I go fishing at sea with Brother Bai?"
He remembered his aunt taking him out of the army and telling him that he would work and eat.
Seeing how much money Bai Haijian had made today, he was extremely envious.
"You can't do it," Qin Yingxue shook her head and refused directly.
"Why? I'm very strong too." Yang Weijun suddenly became anxious.
“You’re too small. You can’t even pull the net.” This time, it was Bai Haijian who answered.
"Brother Bai, I know I'm still young, but can I follow you and help you pull the net? I don't want money, just one steamed bun a day is enough." Yang Weijun looked at Bai Haijian with a pleading expression.
Looking at Yang Weijun's thin face with sunken eye sockets, and his big eyes full of expectation and longing, Bai Haijian couldn't bear to say the words of refusal.
"Your brother Bai doesn't have a boat now. When he goes out to sea, he has to take someone else's boat, and a ticket costs five yuan." Qin Yingxue looked at Yang Weijun and said bluntly, "And he can't catch fish every time he goes out to sea; it depends on luck. Do you still want to go with your brother Bai?"
"I don't want to think about it anymore..." Yang Weijun lowered his head in frustration.
“You’re still young. There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. Come home with me tonight,” Qin Yingxue reassured her.
Yang Weijun nodded.
"Auntie, take these fish home and eat them." Bai Haijian hurriedly grabbed a few abalone, lobsters, and the golden turtle sea bass from the bucket and put them into a small wooden bucket, a shy expression on his face. "I also caught a golden turtle sea bass and a golden fox, but the two boat owners bought them. Auntie, I'm sorry..."
After Bai Haijian finished speaking, he bowed deeply.
"Haijian, what are you doing?" Qin Yingxue stopped him and smiled. "You don't need to feel guilty. I don't think Boss Zhang will mind. In the future, when you catch rare fish, sell them to those bosses, but the price must be reasonable. Boss Zhang gives you the wholesale price, but those bosses are all rich people and they will give you a higher price. We can't turn down money, right?"
