Chapter 152 A Boat Full of Crabs, Tourists Go on a Crazy Shopping Spree
Chapter Update Notice: Chapter 152: A Boat Full of Crabs, Tourists Go on a Shopping Spree (Part 3), Read Here.
Around 8 a.m., the fish raft pier gradually became lively, with groups of tourists arriving to wait for the fish raft owners to pick them up.
The area was filled with small boats and speedboats that shuttled customers. As soon as Zhou Miao's fishing boat, which was just over ten meters long, approached, it immediately attracted the attention of many tourists.
He had just handed the shrimp to Lu Xiaoxiao and taken the breakfast when he turned around and found that several grown men had gathered on his boat, looking around curiously.
Fortunately, they were somewhat restrained and didn't lay a hand on me.
"Who are you? What are you doing on my boat?" Zhou Miao hurriedly returned to his boat and questioned him rudely, afraid that some impulsive person would try to grab his crab.
"Boss, are you selling these blue crabs?" one of the men, who was in his thirties, asked, pointing to the pile of blue crabs on the deck.
One of the unique characteristics of Chinese people is that they are particularly generous during festivals and holidays, spending money like water and buying everything they encounter.
Normally, who would be willing to eat mud crabs that cost over 100 yuan per kilogram? But during holidays, there's only one word – buy!
"These crabs weighing between 500 and 150 grams are priced at 150 yuan per catty, while mud crabs weighing around 1 catty are priced at 180 yuan. They are all wild mud crabs that were just caught last night. You can choose them yourselves if you want."
Selling some retail before selling to Pang Yu wouldn't be a problem; in fact, it could earn us more money.
When wholesaling to others, I earn 20 yuan less per kilogram, which is quite a difference.
"Boss, can you give me a discount?"
"This is the market price. I'm using cable ties, which is cheaper than buying them at the market."
"Sanmen blue crabs are also tied with ribbons."
"Then go buy some Sanmen blue crabs!"
Zhou Miao waved his hand, completely unconcerned about this business deal.
Just a few individual customers, how much can they buy?
Seeing that Zhou Miao wouldn't give them any room to bargain, the tourists had no choice but to give up.
They often buy mud crabs to visit relatives; you can tell whether something is good or not just by looking at it.
None of these mud crabs were thin; they were all plump, strong, and of superior quality.
They all brought their wives and children with them to visit, and when they came across something nice, they naturally wanted to buy it for their families to try, so each of them picked out a few.
Seeing that they really wanted to buy, Zhou Miao called Lu Xingyu and asked him to bring over the electronic scale and bags so that he could weigh the products for the customers.
"Four jin and three jin, that's six hundred and forty-five. You give me six hundred and thirty-five."
"The smaller ones here weigh 2.6 jin, and the larger ones weigh 2.2 jin, totaling 786. Just give me 780."
Lu Xingyu helped pack the bags and weigh them, while Zhou Miao calculated the bill and collected the money. Soon, the tourists who had paid left with their bags, all smiles.
Zhou Miao originally thought that only a few people would buy the product, and was about to call Pang Yu on his phone when a few more tourists came over.
Moreover, this was already the peak tourist season. Seeing that there were many people gathered around him, many tourists came over out of curiosity and were unknowingly pushed to the front, and then bought a few as well.
Lu Xingyu wanted to go back and find a chair to lie down and rest, but he was surrounded by tourists and became extremely busy.
Not only do they need to be bagged and weighed, but care must also be taken to prevent the mud crabs from being crushed by some low-class tourists.
For the first time, Zhou Miao experienced the feeling of receiving so much money that his hands cramped up. Even if it was just scanning a QR code for someone, seeing the hundreds of dollars in the payment made him extremely happy.
The nearly 400-pound mud crabs would fetch 20 yuan less per pound when sold to Pang Yu, which is about 8,000 yuan less—more than Luo Hao's daily revenue.
Everything sells well during holidays.
Many of the fish raft owners who came to pick up tourists became envious upon hearing that these blue crabs were wild.
How many times has this happened already? Every time, all we can do is watch Zhou Miao make a fortune. Who can be happy about that?
But things are different now than before, and they really don't know how to control Zhou Miao.
Some of them had some connection with Yu Muzhou and knew a little about him. Those who originally had some designs on him gave up some of their ulterior motives when they saw that Zhou Miao had a good relationship with him.
However, if Zhou Miao can sell seafood, then they can too.
So some fish farm owners immediately took action, importing seafood from elsewhere to sell, and they actually made a profit from the price difference.
However, by this time, Zhou Miao's crabs had all been sold out, with not a single one left.
Those large blue crabs, weighing over 1.5 jin (approximately 0.75 kg), were expensive, but also in high demand, so he couldn't keep them at all.
However, Zhou Miao didn't care. The dozen or so catties of blue crabs that Luo Hao took away were also very plump, so he was in for a treat today.
"So, how much did you make?" Lu Xingyu leaned closer to him and asked curiously.
Zhou Miao showed him his WeChat account balance, which totaled over 56,300 yuan.
"More than fifty thousand?"
"Yes, all my money is in my WeChat Wallet. This is the money I made from selling crabs this morning."
"Tsk tsk, you make money so easily."
Lu Xingyu knew that Zhou Miao had earned quite a bit that morning, but he never expected it to exceed 50,000.
After arriving in Nanzhen, he could no longer understand his good brother of many years; it felt like he had become a completely different person.
If it weren't for the fact that many of his behaviors and ways of speaking were the same as before, he would have suspected that his good brother had been possessed.
"Don't worry, I'll make money with you tonight. If you don't get married, I'll take you to a massage parlor," Zhou Miao said with a laugh, putting his arm around his shoulder.
"Sigh, if there were a virtuous wife and loving mother like those from decades ago, I'd be willing to marry one. Unfortunately, that kind of resource, if not extinct, is definitely top-tier, and it's not available to me!"
"Are you talking about your sister?"
"Damn it! Just thinking about it makes me angry. You just took my precious cabbage, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
These words startled Zhou Miao. Did Lu Xingyu already know?
But looking at his joking expression, it didn't seem like it.
Now that my good brother is my brother-in-law, if I say something like that to him, he'll definitely have to give me a proper response.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoxiao and never leave her for the rest of my life. You can rest assured and entrust her to me!"
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you." Lu Xingyu gestured with his eyes and then pointed at Zhou Miao.
"Just keep an eye on things! You must be tired from supervising the construction these past few days. How about a massage at Linxian Garden this afternoon? It's on me!"
"We also need to supervise the construction here."
"It's alright, let Xiaoxiao come over. There's a sunshade, she won't get too hot."
"This isn't a good idea!"
"It's not good for Xiaoxiao to stay at home all day; she should go out and breathe fresh air more often."
"this......"
"Stop with the 'this' and 'that'. My good brother is in my heart. I said I'd take you to a massage parlor, and I won't go back on my word."
After dealing with Lu Xingyu, Zhou Miao packed up the fishing boat and went back to his rented room to catch up on some sleep.
At noon, I took Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Xingyu to Luo Hao's place for lunch.
There were many people at Tingtao Fishing Raft today, but the tourists were mostly free to do their own thing, so Luo Hao and Luo Qianqian were able to take care of them perfectly well. They even had time to have lunch together.
Zhou Miao's "sage mode debuff" has ended, and he hasn't seen Luo Qianqian for many days. Seeing her again makes him a little restless.
Now that Lu Xiaoxiao has been won over, isn't it her turn?
However, Luo Qianqian ignored him completely and pulled Lu Xiaoxiao aside to maintain their good friendship.
Zhou Miao didn't mind being ignored. It was inconvenient with so many people on the fish raft, but he would find an opportunity sooner or later.
