My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 229 Just Earning a Little Hard-Earned Money

Follow Zang Li's pen and embark on an adventure together in "My Fishing Raft Will Ask for Help".

"Never mind, I'll handle the fish myself!" Zhou Miao shook his head; he was certainly not satisfied with the price.

For items that sell well, their value should naturally be maximized.

"How about 42,000? That's the highest price I can offer, otherwise I won't make a profit." Pang Yu tried to make another offer.

"Okay, I'll give you the fish for 45,000."

"With you holding the line like this, if I buy this fish at this price, I don't even know if I'll make a profit or a loss in the end," Pang Yu sighed helplessly.

He understood Zhou Miao's thoughts.

But if he really spent 45,000, he wasn't sure he could make money. If things went wrong, he might even lose 1,000 or 2,000. So what was the point of buying the fish?

His cousin's Japanese restaurant didn't need red-mouthed shad either, so after hesitating for a moment, he had to give up.

"Never mind, let's continue weighing these Huang Sans."

"Okay, you all just keep working!"

Zhou Miao took a picture of the red-lipped shad and then sent it to Yu Muzhou.

"Brother Zhou, a large red-lipped shad, male, 45,000 for the whole package, interested?"

It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and Yu Muzhou was having breakfast at home. When he saw the message and photos, he first zoomed in on the photos, then asked someone about the price, and then replied.

"This fish is good, but 45,000 is already the highest price on the market, and there's only one. What kind of package price is this?"

"Oh dear, I'm selling you the fish meat and swim bladder together as a package! I can't help it with the price; I have to pay for a boat, and there might be a famine. You know my situation, Brother Zhou."

Yu Muzhou was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by Zhou Miao's act of feigning poverty.

"You could have complained about being poor to me when you first came to Nanzhen, but now that you can casually pull out 1.5 million to buy a boat, are you going to complain about being poor to me?"

"Oh, and you also told me to find large operating vessels to invest in. You're not exactly rolling in money, are you?"

Seeing that playing the victim card wasn't working, Zhou Miao thought for a moment and decided to try a different approach.

"Brother Zhou, fishing at sea is hard work, and this is all hard-earned money. I bought the boat so that I could find fish better, such as swordfish and marlin that live on the continental shelf in the open sea, and even various large tuna. Who knows, I might even find bluefin tuna."

"That's why I gritted my teeth and took out all my savings to buy a boat. I'm working hard for the greater cause of fishing."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be so great to just lie around on the fish raft every day, surrounded by beautiful women?"

"This kid's targeting me!" Yu Muzhou, putting down his spoon, shook his head helplessly and replied, "I definitely want the fish, and let's not go for 45,000, I'll round it up to a round number for you."

"Find a big styrofoam box and chill the fish for me. I'll come pick it up in a bit!"

After sending the message, he immediately transferred 50,000 yuan.

"Thank you, boss!!!"

Zhou Miao happily accepted the money; as expected, if there was a rare item, he had to sell it to Yu Muzhou.

No one else would pay a premium to acquire it except him.

Once all the yellow croakers had been counted, Pang Yu settled the bill immediately.

The total is 156,000, slightly less than last time, but if you include the red-mouthed shad, it exceeds 200,000.

Later, half of the profits from Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu's business will also need to be given to him, so Zhou Miao's net income today might exceed 300,000.

The cost is only two or three thousand, which is negligible compared to three hundred thousand.

Zhou Miao took the red-mouthed shad back to the fish raft first, and then quickly drove his tricycle to buy a styrofoam box and ice to keep the fish chilled.

Just as things were finished, Yu Muzhou arrived by boat.

He used a crane to hoist the box onto the boat, and left the fishing raft in a hurry after saying only a few words, looking very busy.

Zhou Miao suspected that he had given the fish away and wanted to send it over quickly while it was still fresh so that the swim bladder could be removed and dried.

After taking a shower and a nap, I woke up in the afternoon to find two deposits on my phone.

One payment of 58,000 and another of 65,000 were clearly sent to him by Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu.

Zhou Miao checked his savings and was surprised to find that his savings had already exceeded 1.5 million yuan today, so he no longer needed to worry about the money to buy the boat.

However, he did not expect that Yu Muzhou was looking at boats at that moment, and had his eye on a very nice Class II fishing boat.

But the price far exceeded his budget, giving him a huge shock.

Famine was looming, but Zhou Miao, unaware of the danger, set off again with Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu after dinner to catch yellow croakers to earn money.

Just like he said this morning, don't be fooled by how much he earns; it's all hard-earned money.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Miao earned a total of 380,000 yuan in those two days.

Compared to the previous two days, his income was naturally far less, since Luo Hao and Lu Xingyu had to share half with him.

The main reason we're earning so little is that there aren't enough fish.

Over the course of four days, Zhou Miao harvested more than 2,000 jin (1,000 kg) on ​​the first day.

The next day, the three of them scooped up nearly 6,000 jin (3,000 kg).

The next two days combined yielded approximately 10,000 jin (5,000 kg).

More than half of the fish were caught, significantly reducing their density, and the task of rescuing the sand bed was also completed.

This ability is extracted from small fish living in seaweed. It has only one ability: animals that Zhou Miao has labeled as having a family-oriented nature will stay at home obediently and not wander far.

Upon acquiring this rather useless skill, Zhou Miao's first thought was to raise a tabby cat.

He had raised tabby cats when he was a child, and he raised them twice at different ages.

But neither of the tabby cats were homebodies; they disappeared without a trace as soon as they reached adulthood.

As a result, Zhou Miao eventually kept her distance from cats and dared not keep them anymore.

However, upon returning from the sea and seeing the giant sea turtles basking in the sun in the newly built turtle nest, Zhou Miao suddenly realized the usefulness of this seemingly useless skill.

He tentatively put his skills to use.

[Leatherback turtle's affinity level exceeds the 60% threshold; skill successfully added.]

Zhou Miao's eyes lit up; it really was a good idea.

Does that mean we don't need to put up fencing around the turtle shelter?

Since the Turtle House is currently in the final stages and hasn't officially started setting up the underwater netting yet, Zhou Miao can convey the message to Yu Muzhou and ask them to cancel the project and instead build a viewing platform so that customers can come ashore to watch.

After all, every project needs to apply for funding, and it won't work if the funding isn't secured. Therefore, this money has to be spent, and changing the project will prevent problems.

After completing the Huangguyu mission, Zhou Miao planned to rest for two days before going to find Yu Muzhou.

Unexpectedly, the next day, while he was still enjoying the company of two women, Yu Muzhou took the initiative to call him and invite him to go see the boat together.

You've already seen the new ship so quickly?

Zhou Miao's interest was greatly piqued, and he immediately broke free from the allure of her beauty, driving his pickup truck to find Yu Muzhou.
