After sorting all the barnacles according to specifications and quality, the two prepared to sell them at the purchasing station.

Along the way, the two also met many villagers who went to the sea, but the harvest was very small.

Most of them just picked up some scallops, clams and moon shells.

Basically, the bottom of the bucket was not covered...

"Jiangchuan, little fat man, you two have a good harvest! What good stuff is in the bucket? Where did you get it?"

Seeing that Jiangchuan and Agang's buckets were heavy, the wife of the old Feng family at the west end of the village asked jealously.

They came so early, and it has been several hours now, but the harvest is pitifully small.

These two idiots, how come their buckets are full?

Seeing how heavy the buckets of Jiangchuan and Agang were, he was filled with jealousy...

Agang glanced at the wife of the Feng family and said in a stern voice, "It's none of your business..."

"Agang, be more polite..."

Jiangchuan smiled and said to the wife of the Feng family, "Aunt Liu, we just picked up some mussels, which are not worth much.

There are still many mussels in the reef gully ten kilometers to the east. You can try your luck."

After that, he took Agang away.

Seeing the two people leaving gracefully, Liu Fang was full of dissatisfaction, "Jiangchuan is a bad little bastard. He clearly came from the west just now, but he tricked me to go to the east. The old saying is true, there must be something hateful about pitiful people."

"Okay, Sister Liu, why are you two fools so angry? I think they probably earned stones in their buckets just to make us envious."

"That's right, what good things can the two most useless idiots in the village pick up!"

"I say you are two hundred years old in total, so you should be more virtuous. Xiaochuan and Agang are both poor children. Even if they are lucky enough to pick up something, why are you so jealous?"

...

Jiangchuan and Agang naturally couldn't hear the discussion of several women.

Ah Gang looked at Jiang Chuan in confusion, "Brother, why did you say that we picked up mussels? We picked up dog claw snails.

If we show it off, Liu Fang will be so envious."

He had long disliked Liu Fang. This woman was very bad and liked to gossip behind people's backs.

And the poorer the family, the worse their life, the more she liked to ridicule that family...

It was as if making fun of the poor was her source of happiness.

It was just a shabby store at home! She always made herself look like a superior person.

Seeing Ah Gang's puzzled and unhappy expression, Jiang Chuan said seriously, "Okay, it's always right to be low-key.

If we had taken out the dog claw snail to show off just now, our vanity could indeed be satisfied temporarily.

But what about later! Aren't you afraid that there will be a large group of women following us when we go to the sea tomorrow?

Remember, what we have to do now is to make money, make money desperately, and make a fortune quietly.

As long as we have money and our wallets are bulging, are we afraid that there will be no chance to show off in the future?"

Jiang Chuan knows very well that at any time, if you want to get respect from others, you must first make your back hard.

And in this realistic society, money and power are always the best medicine to make your back hard.

As long as you become rich, you will find that all the people around you are good people!

"Brother, I seem to understand...

Anyway, what you said is right, hehe."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Ah Gang nodded as if he understood.

In his heart, his brother is always right anyway, so he will do whatever Jiang Chuan tells him to do.

...

Half an hour later, the two had already arrived at Dong Lao San's purchasing station.

Seeing Jiang Chuan, Dong Lao San hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "Xiao Chuan, are you back from the sea so early?"

That smile was very bright.

Two hours ago, the batch of butter crabs that Jiang Chuan brought last night had been sold.

More than 100 kilograms of butter crabs made him earn nearly 20,000 yuan...

For him, this is a very, very good income.

After all, it only took ten hours from the time he bought to the time he sold!

"Yes, Uncle Dong, seeing that you are so happy, I guess you have sold those butter crabs last night, right?" Jiang Chuan asked with a smile.

Dong Laosan said happily, "Hehe, I've made a small profit..."

It was then that he saw the two heavy plastic buckets carried by Jiangchuan and Agang, and said in surprise, "Oh my god, you didn't get something good again today, did you?"

"Haha! It's nothing like yesterday, when Agang and I went to pick up some barnacles. Are you going to take them?"

"Barnacles? Of course I will.

That's also a good thing!" Dong Laosan nodded repeatedly.

Ordinary barnacles are indeed not as valuable as butter crabs, but if they are top-quality gooseneck barnacles, they are more valuable than butter crabs.

I just don’t know what quality of barnacles Jiangchuan and Agang picked up.

“Agang, show it to Uncle Dong!” Jiangchuan gestured to Agang.

Agang smiled and nodded, “Hehe! Uncle Dong, these are all good things. Don’t try to take advantage of us. My brother is very smart!”

“Look at what you said, you little brat. I, Dong Laosan, will never take advantage of you even if I take advantage of anyone!”

Just kidding, if you take advantage of two poor kids, are you still a human being?

The moment all the goods were taken out, Dong Laosan was stunned.

Gulu! !

Dong Laosan swallowed hard and couldn't help but swear, "Fuck! Dog claw snail? It's so big?

Did you two step on dog shit when you went out?"

"Okay, okay, Uncle Dong, name a price!

As I said, if the price is fair, we will trade immediately. We are still hungry." Jiang Chuan said impatiently.

I ate three vegetable buns in the morning, and now I am indeed a little hungry...

Dong Laosan smiled, "Okay, okay, you young people are so impatient."

Then he weighed it quickly.

"The largest ones weigh 12 jin in total. I'll charge you 800 per jin! You two know that these are the largest, but they are not the best."

"The second-rate ones weigh 41 jin in total. I can only give you 280 yuan per jin..."

"Finally, these ordinary barnacles weigh 17 jin in total. I'll charge you 60 yuan per jin..."

After weighing, Dong Laosan looked at Jiangchuan, "Xiaochuan, are you satisfied with my offer?

If you are satisfied, we'll calculate the money now. If you are not satisfied, I'll lend you the tricycle and you can sell it in the town!"

Dong Laosan's attitude was still very sincere.

"Okay, that's it! I know that you are an honest person, and you will definitely not cheat me and Agang."

Jiangchuan nodded. This price is reasonable, at least within the acceptable range.

If you take it to the town, the price may be two or three hundred yuan higher.

But it would take more than two hours to go to the town and back, and he was too lazy to bother...

"You kid, Uncle Dong likes your open personality.

Then let me calculate, the highest quality dog ​​claw snail is 12 jin, 800 per jin, a total of 9600...

The medium quality is 41 jin, 280 per jin, a total of 11480...

Ordinary barnacles are 18 jin, 60 per jin, a total of 1080...

The total price is: 22160 yuan!

So, to make it round, this is 22200 yuan, you count."

Soon Dong Laosan finished the settlement and handed a thick stack of red bills to Jiangchuan.

Holding a thick stack of banknotes, Jiangchuan and Agang were both excited.

Since mobile payment became popular, Jiangchuan hasn't taken so much cash for a long time...

Sure enough, cash still has a greater impact!

"No need to order, Uncle Dong, I trust you, let's go..."

After taking the money, Jiang Chuan put it directly into his pocket.
