As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 259 - 222 Wei Jiaguo I Need to Prepare Drafts

Chapter 259: Chapter 222 Wei Jiaguo: I Need to Prepare Drafts Even for Bragging

He and Jiang Luoluo’s remaining catch totaled 3,500 kilograms, but they only sold it for 280,000, averaging eighty yuan per kilogram.

There was no helping it; his customers were already saturated, and he had no way to deal with the remaining few thousand kilograms of fish in a short time. Eventually, only the captain made money off of it.

This trip to Nansha, he and Jiang Luoluo together nearly sold their catch for 1.2 million. After deducting costs, it was roughly 1.1 million, which could be described as a full harvest.

Mainly, his grouper and golden spearfish earned nearly 500,000, and he sold the most valuable batch of fish to customers at a high price.

Like Zhang Wei and the others, after selling all their catch, they earned over a hundred thousand after costs.

That was still with the help of Chu Mingcheng selling some of their fish at a high price. If they had to sell to the fishmongers like other anglers, they would have made at most 50,000 to 60,000.

Of course, 50,000 to 60,000 a month could still be considered a very high income.

But most of the time, they fished near Chu Mingcheng, benefiting from a sort of external support; otherwise, their income would be halved.

This was the income for most anglers. A trip to Nansha left them exhausted, and after costs, they only made ten or twenty thousand. Only a few seasoned anglers made more.

After Chu Mingcheng sold all his catch, he didn’t forget to reserve some fish for himself.

At his feet were three boxes, totaling exactly one hundred kilograms, all expensive deep sea fish.

Two boxes were large, one for his parents and the other for his parents-in-law.

The remaining one was small, which Jiang Luoluo would deliver to her two partners back in Xia City.

As for themselves, they decided not to keep any, as they had grown tired of fish over the month.

In the end, there was a big weasel shark, which he simply boxed up and would send to Wei Jiaguo when the time came.

Three days later, the Sky’s horn sounded, and the ship returned to the dock.

“Finally back, it feels so good to be on solid ground!” Chen Yang exclaimed after disembarking.

“Quit your damn babbling and come help with the luggage,” Zhang Wei snapped, hitting him on the back of his head, interrupting his sentiments and urging him on.

“Coming, coming!” Chen Yang touched his head and hurried over to help.

After drifting at sea for a month, the feeling of stepping on solid ground was indeed wonderful.

After all, it always felt shaky on the ship, never quite comfortable.

But once ashore, they had plenty to do, starting with delivering products to customers.

Luckily, all the fish were already vacuum-packed on the ship, they didn’t even need to handle it themselves, as the crew and delivery workers would take care of everything, just needing a bit of money.

Of course, the delivery cost for the weasel shark and the fish for his parents was prepaid by Chu Mingcheng, because it wouldn’t be right to let others pay the freight.

After finishing up, the group rested for a day in Qiongzhou and then went their separate ways.

Han Baola was continuing her own journey; she would only head to Xia City after this trip finished.

Zhang Wei and Chen Yang didn’t follow to Xia City but went back to Wen City instead.

With plenty of time before the boat needed to be back in the water, they were not in a hurry.

Ultimately, only Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo took a plane back to Xia City.

“Finally back, I’m so tired!” Upon entering, Jiang Luoluo flipped the dust cover off the sofa and plopped down on it.

Chu Mingcheng went over and patted her protruding buttocks, feeling good, and pinched them again.

“Don’t lie down just yet, I’ve already called the housekeeper. Let’s get the blankets out to air them first; otherwise, we won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

“I don’t want to, you do it. I’m so tired!” Jiang Luoluo, like a seductive snake spirit, wriggled on the sofa, coquettishly complaining.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng let her be; this trip to Nansha had indeed been exhausting, physically and mentally alike.

He, too, felt very tired, not to mention Jiang Luoluo.

After airing the blankets in her room, he went back to his own room, took out his blankets to air them as well, and then put away the sofa dust covers into the washing machine for cleaning.

After a short while, several housekeepers arrived.

He was not short of money now, having already repaid the 700,000 he owed his parents.

Aside from the money spent on the boat, he still had about 400,000 on hand, no pressure for daily expenses, so he hired two additional housekeepers for quicker cleanup.

But that does not mean he didn’t need money. He would definitely settle in Xia City in the future, and buying a house would require a significant amount of money.

Starting a club also needed money, thus, although he made a good profit during this festive season, it still wasn’t enough.

Fortunately, he was now debt-free, and Chu Mingcheng didn’t need to push himself as hard as before; he could truly enjoy the pleasure of fishing.

While he was cleaning, Wei Jiaguo stared at the big box in front of him, utterly baffled.

He couldn’t remember ordering anything.

Luckily, there were signatures on all quick deliveries; he stepped forward and saw the signature, but it read “Ultraman Tiga.”

“???” Wei Jiaguo was baffled again, turned his head to the courier, “Why would the signature be Ultraman Tiga, can you really send a package with a random name written on it?”

The courier shook his head three times in a row, “I don’t know, I received it like this and just delivered it according to the address.”

“…” Wei Jiaguo glanced again at the information on the delivery package, and paused when he saw the phone number; it seemed oddly familiar.

He then took out his phone and looked up Chu Mingcheng’s number.

When the numbers matched, he suddenly realized, a smile creeping across his lips, “This rascal, sending me a package without even telling me!”

He then opened the package to check that the items inside were not damaged.

Chu Mingcheng could only have sent him fish, nothing else.

If the fish had spoiled due to poor handling by the delivery company, he would have demanded compensation from them.

The large box was very long, a full four meters, and had been brought in a pickup truck that was specially equipped with a small crane in the back—lifting it otherwise would have required several people.

This made Wei Jiaguo very curious about what kind of fish was inside.

However, he had a guess when opening it; it absolutely had to be a large flagfish.

Only a flagfish could grow so long. Golden spearfish, under normal circumstances, would be considered large at over two meters, so he didn’t think it was a golden spearfish.

When the box was opened and the top layer of ice bags removed, Wei Jiaguo immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

March weather in Xia City had started warming up, but he still felt a chill in his chest.

He had thought it was a flagfish, but inside was a ferocious, massive weasel shark, though he preferred to call it a tiger shark.

“Holy shit!” blurted out the courier upon seeing such a large shark.

Having lived nearly thirty years, he had never seen a shark with his own eyes, let alone such a large one.

But then he remembered something the next moment—could this shark be a protected species? He knew this shark had been sent from Qiongzhou.

“Um, I need to take a picture here, to confirm the item is undamaged.”

Wei Jiaguo glanced at the courier, knowing that some courier companies take a few photos as evidence when inspecting items, so he nodded for him to proceed.

But being shrewd, he noticed the courier’s slightly uneasy expression, and immediately speculated, speaking directly, “This is a weasel shark, not a protected animal in our country, you can check it out.”

The courier paused his photographing, looking somewhat embarrassed, “So it’s a weasel shark, wow, it’s huge.”

After the courier had left, Wei Jiaguo looked at the weasel shark and smiled again.

Weasel sharks had a good market; their specific value was hard to say.

But just the price of the fins was substantial, and the skin could be made into leather. Chu Mingcheng’s gesture pleased him greatly.

Wei Jiaguo took out his phone and first called a private restaurant, asking them to send a few people to take the ingredients away.

Afterward, he called up some old friends, as they hadn’t met since the New Year—it was time for a drink tonight.

As for the capital for boasting tonight…

Wei Jiaguo rushed to his study after the restaurant staff had taken away the shark, grabbing paper and pen to draft his story first.

Chu Mingcheng had no idea about Wei Jiaguo’s cunning move. After the housekeeping finished cleaning and left, he and Jiang Luoluo collapsed on the sofa, browsing takeout options and agonizing over what to eat for dinner.

Housekeeping had cleaned all afternoon, and they had a lot to tidy up; already exhausted from a full day’s work, they had no energy left to cook.

“Why don’t we invite Sister Mei and Wanying out for dinner?” Luoluo turned off her phone, which was struggling to load more take-out options, and proposed.

“Sure, I have no objections.” Chu Mingcheng also felt it was better to eat out since there really wasn’t anything appealing about take-out.

Luoluo then called Zhang Ruomei and Chen Wanying and set off for a fairly well-known private restaurant.

Zhang Ruomei, led by a waiter to a private room, saw the two and teased, “Oh, back from your honeymoon, are you?”

“What honeymoon? You know where I went. Fishing for a month, I was nearly dead tired,” Jiang Luoluo sighed, then added, “By the way, I brought you some deep-sea fish from Nansha, they’re stored in the restaurant’s cold storage. Don’t forget to take them after we eat.”

“You’re so thoughtful, bringing some specialties for your sister.” Zhang Ruomei nodded in satisfaction, knowing that deep-sea fish from Nansha wasn’t cheap, definitely a seafood she wouldn’t normally splurge on.

A while later, Chen Wanying arrived too.

She ran her own business, and when Jiang Luoluo called her, she had been busy, which caused some delay.

They hadn’t planned on drinking that night, just a simple dinner to catch up.

So two hours later, Chu Mingcheng paid the bill, and they each headed home.

But as he and Jiang Luoluo were passing by a private room, they instinctively stopped because a familiar voice came from inside.

“This tiger shark has a big appetite; it ate the fish I caught, leaving only the big fish head. When has Old Wei ever taken such a loss, I can’t swallow this insult…”

Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo looked at each other.

“Could that be Grandpa talking inside?”

“Sounds like him, and didn’t you just send a tiger shark?”

“Shall we go in to say hello?” A mischievous smile appeared on Chu Mingcheng’s lips; he was eager to see how Wei Jiaguo would continue boasting with the actual donor present.

“Let’s not. Grandpa is so proud; if you expose the truth, where would he put his face?” Jiang Luoluo, being kind-hearted, held back the mischievous Chu Mingcheng.

“Alright, then we’ll just pretend we didn’t know!”
