44: Selling Fish 2

Next up were Yang Qi's live fish.

First was the "Fish King" Grouper, priced at 1100 per catty.

Bai Xue, standing nearby, was dumbfounded. "Is this not too outrageous?"

The Bigeye Snapper, all live, were priced at 120 per catty.

Yellow Chicken Fish were 60 per catty.

Yellow Chicken Fish were 70 per catty.

Black Sea Bream were 90 per catty.

In fact, the most abundant fish in Yang Qi's live fish hold were various types of Grouper, in all sizes, including the more affordable Green Grouper, and more high-priced Tiger Grouper, Sesame Grouper.

Depending on the size and species, these Grouper also fetched between 100 and 300 per catty.

Total income: 335,480 yuan!

When Yang Qi heard this enormous figure, he felt a momentary daze, and his heart raced.

The others nearby also found it incredible; they had been fishing for so many years and had never heard of anyone catching so much money in a single fishing trip.

Yang Qi looked at Bai Xue, who was already too surprised to speak.

He said to Chen Tianming, "A Ming, I plan to keep some fish for myself and to give away. I definitely need to keep two Tuna!"

"Yang Qi! It's not New Year's or a festival, why are you giving gifts? Just keep a few small ones to eat. It's better to convert them to cash!"

Chen Tianming was a bit reluctant to part with these good fish.

Yang Qi's catch was simply too high in quality; he had no trouble selling it.

Seeing that Yang Qi had already started picking out fish, he quickly said to Bai Xue:

"Sister-in-law, I think you should talk to Yang Qi. You need to take charge of this household and be thrifty!"

Bai Xue's face flushed at being called "sister-in-law," but she was also very happy inside!

She couldn't help but mutter, "Do I have to take charge? Even if I do, I'll still listen to Yang Qi Ge!"

"I fully support Yang Qi's decision. This is Yang Qi's first time going out to sea and catching so many fish. He really should send some good fish back to his parents in his hometown so they can also taste the fish Yang Qi caught!

However, the fish he eats himself doesn't necessarily have to be the most expensive ones!"

Alright! Another sensible good girl!

Chen Tianming was also helpless, only hoping that Yang Qi would show mercy and not pick too many expensive fish species.

Yang Qi picked up three foam boxes and was about to reach for a Sesame Grouper when he suddenly heard a shout:

"Show some mercy!"

It startled him, and he shivered. He looked up at Chen Tianming and gave him a big eye roll.

"Are you sick!"

"Do you have medicine!"

Unexpectedly, another joker!

Everyone burst into laughter, unable to stop!

"Yang Qi Ge, let me do it! Tell me, besides your parents back home, who else are you giving them to?" Bai Xue turned to ask Yang Qi.

"My parents, and your parents, and then I'll keep some for myself to eat!" Yang Qi replied.

"That's easy. For sending back home, it definitely needs to be frozen and sent by cold chain, so you don't need to pick these live ones, scaring Boss Chen.

Pick those chilled Grouper and Yellow Chicken Fish, Black Sea Bream, and some other different fish species. See what fish they like to eat, and next time you can prepare more.

You can send a slightly larger quantity; they can also give some away or something. Oh, and fresh Beltfish like this are rare inland, so you can send more; they're good for gifts.

For the Yellowfin Tuna, you can send one about 60 catties. You need to process it properly before sending it!"

She paused for a moment, saw that Yang Qi didn't object, and continued:

"As for my parents, you can take two chilled Grouper around three catties each; there's no need to take live ones for personal consumption. Then take two Black Sea Bream and a few Beltfish, that should be enough. There are usually only three of them, and too much would be wasteful."

Seeing Yang Qi about to speak, she quickly waved her hand and said, "Aren't you also keeping a Tuna? You can cut it up and give them a portion!"

"As for your own, you don't need to keep too much or too large. You fish frequently, so you definitely won't be short of fish in the future. There's no need to keep too much at once. For now, it's best to convert as much as possible to cash!"

Yang Qi looked at Bai Xue's well-reasoned analysis and clear arrangements, and he was deeply moved.

The others standing by, watching the fun, also looked at Bai Xue, this university student, with new respect.

Only Zhang Jun had witnessed Bai Xue's inner wisdom and outer beauty last time.

"Beauty and wisdom coexist, graceful and intelligent, truly admirable!"

Zhang Jun patted Yang Qi's shoulder, "You're a lucky guy!"

Yang Qi smiled and nodded, saying to Bai Xue, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Your arrangements are indeed thoughtful."

With that, he began to select the fish as Bai Xue had instructed. Chen Tianming and the others watched from the side, nodding in approval, thinking how intelligent this girl was.

Soon, the fish were selected. Chen Tianming helped process and pack the fish to be sent.

A Tuna weighing about 60 catties was cut on the spot, and different parts were packaged separately.

The fish head and bones were also packaged separately to be sent back, so his parents could see the large fish head.

Yang Qi looked at the string of numbers on his phone's message notification, filled with emotion, and pondered his upcoming plans.

"Bai Xue, I owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know how to arrange these fish."

Yang Qi looked at Bai Xue gratefully.

Bai Xue's cheeks were slightly red, and she said softly, "It's nothing, I just thought this arrangement was more reasonable."

At this moment, Chen Tianming walked over, smiling, and said, "Yang Qi, with such a capable wife, your life is sure to be prosperous in the future. In the future, you must prioritize my Tianming Seafood Store for your catch! I guarantee you won't lose out."

Yang Qi also smiled and agreed, his heart full of anticipation for the future.

After dealing with the fish, he and Bai Xue prepared to first take the fish for his parents to the cold chain point.

The other fish, intended for Bai Xue's parents and his own reserved fish, would be kept frozen at Chen Tianming's place for now and taken home later.

At this point, Zhang Jun spoke, "You two go to the cold chain point and send the fish first. When you get back, let's all have dinner together. We'll meet here later; I'm treating tonight!"

"Okay, Brother Jun, we're off!" Yang Qi replied.

Watching Chen Tianming and the others begin weighing fish for Chang Jianqiang and the rest, the two drove their tricycle to the cold chain point.

Next was filling out forms and paying. It had to be said that the cost of cold chain logistics was indeed not low. The shipping fee alone was several hundred.

However, it was convenient and fast; it would arrive in his hometown by tomorrow afternoon. If his mother and the others were quick, they could even eat these fish for dinner tomorrow night.

After sending the fish, the two left the cold chain point, and Yang Qi picked up his phone to call his mother:

"Hello ~ Mom! I sent you a few boxes of fish; they'll arrive tomorrow afternoon. They're all sea fish I caught myself."

"Yes! I just got back, caught a lot. You can eat them without worry! I also sold a lot of them for money! I'll transfer some money to you later.

You two need to take care of yourselves, don't overwork. I have money, enough to spend! Don't worry!"

After hanging up, he thought for a moment and transferred 30,000 yuan to his mother.

By the time the two returned to Tianming Seafood Store, the others' fish were not yet sorted out.

"Brother Jun, how about I go home first and come back later?" The two decided to go home, change clothes, and drop off the fish, then come back for dinner.

After greeting everyone, the two rode their tricycle, carrying several boxes of fish and their luggage, and headed towards Baijia Village.
