As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 199 - 175: The Grumbling Mimi

Chapter 199 -175: The Grumbling Mimi

After a little while, the salesperson sent over the design images of the boat.

Chu Mingcheng hadn’t expected the fishing boat to look so different from what he had in mind; he had thought the live fish well would be in front of the cockpit.

As it turned out, the cockpit was at the front, and the live fish well was placed directly behind it.

Moreover, there was a sunshade over the rear deck of the boat, which could provide protection from the sun.

According to the salesperson, the boat could also be equipped with an electric power system; solar panels could be installed above the sunshade, but that would cost nine million.

An entire electric power system would cost over two million, which Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo felt would take too long to save on fuel costs to be worthwhile, so they both thought it was unnecessary.

Having a sunshade was enough; it could protect against sun and rain, and could be retracted in strong wind conditions, which made it a pretty decent design.

The cockpit of the boat was on the second floor, all in black and white; the vessel indeed looked quite stylish, and had a high-tech feel to it.

So far, both of them were quite satisfied with every part of the boat, so they decided to go ahead and pay the deposit when they got back.

The deposit was 20% of the boat’s total price, and Chu Mingcheng had enough money on him; they would each pay half, which came to 678,000 yuan per person.

Having negotiated the boat deal, Chu Mingcheng thought of Chen Yang and Zhang Wei, who had been in Qiongzhou for several days, and so he inquired about their progress.

Little did he know, Chen Yang’s reply was full of complaints about Zhang Wei, his message brimming with resentment.

“We’re currently learning fishing and hunting, but Ah Wei, this guy, isn’t really learning free-dive spearfishing, he’s obviously learning to freely ‘sow his seeds’!”

“…”

Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo looked at each other, not immediately grasping what ‘freely sow his seeds’ meant.

But a moment later, both of them understood.

Jiang Luoluo warned with a serious face, “I knew what kind of person Ah Wei was before; we weren’t close, so it wasn’t appropriate for me to comment.”

“But now you better watch out. If you dare to follow his example in this regard, I’ll dare to…”

As she spoke, her left hand clenched fiercely, and her right hand chopped down sharply.

Chu Mingcheng shuddered, then quickly put an arm around her waist appeasingly, “Don’t worry, I will definitely not randomly ‘sow seeds’. I promise to save every drop just for you.”

“But, when will you let me ‘sow’?”

“When will you meet my parents?” Talking about this topic was a bit too advanced for Jiang Luoluo.

However, having a married friend had somewhat bolstered her resilience to certain topics.

So, she was able to hold back her inner shyness and use her parents as leverage against Chu Mingcheng to keep him from getting too carried away.

“Just meeting your parents will do?”

Chu Mingcheng’s eyes lit up; having such a beautiful woman by his side but not being allowed to touch was more than any man could bear.

If it weren’t for the plans to get married in the future, he would probably be plotting every day on how to coax…

Jiang Luoluo glanced at her boyfriend’s demeanor and let out a small smile, nodding her head, “Yes! My parents have to agree, then you have to propose to me. After that, we’ll get engaged, wait a little while, and then get married…”

“…” Chu Mingcheng suddenly deflated, wondering when all this would happen.

Jiang Luoluo looked at him but did not tell him there was a shortcut.

As for men, give them a little sunshine and they’ll shine too brightly. If she loosened her grip just a bit now, that certain man would definitely climb up the pole.

Chu Mingcheng wasn’t too disappointed; this woman was someone he wanted to marry, so these steps were to be expected.

Thinking of his own happiness, he immediately made a decision, “Luoluo, let’s pick a good day at the end of the year for me to visit your home!”

Jiang Luoluo was taken aback, then an urge to laugh suddenly came over her, “Hey, you can’t be serious! Didn’t you say before that you weren’t ready?”

Chu Mingcheng’s face turned bitter, “According to the steps you’ve described, the process will take at least half a year at the fastest. Do I have a choice but to hurry?”

“Hahaha…” Jiang Luoluo laughed joyfully; now she really had to thank Zhang Wei. She would treat him to a big meal when he came to Xiamen.

If it wasn’t for his provocation, she felt that Chu Mingcheng would probably have waited until next summer before daring to meet her parents.

But the couple didn’t dwell on the topic for too long; meeting the parents was something they’d have to discuss upon returning to their respective homes.

Chu Mingcheng also found out that Chen Yang and the others would be flying to Xia City the day after tomorrow, which coincided nicely with their plans.

After their trip to the Far Sea, they would definitely need to rest for a couple of days.

One afternoon and a night later, by around six in the morning, they had returned to the docks of Xia City.

Wei Jiaguo had already contacted a tuna broker he knew.

Chu Mingcheng had seventeen Golden Spearfish left, plus the remaining two Eastern Bannerfish, totaling nineteen fish.

He priced them the same way as the Bluefin Tuna, based on the amount of fat content to determine the price level.

Meanwhile, the fish trader directly gave a low price, and it was up to luck whether a customer got better or worse fish when reselling.

Therefore, this method of assessing meat quality appeared to be more fair, and buying fish wasn’t purely about luck.

The remaining ten Yellowfin Tuna weighed a total of one thousand eight hundred sixty-three pounds, with the average price at sixty-six yuan per pound, making the total value about one hundred twenty-three thousand.

There were only two Longfin Tuna, weighing together about one hundred eighty-three pounds.

Longfin Tuna are on the smaller side; the previous one weighing one hundred thirty pounds was already the heaviest in its group.

These weighty Longfin Tuna are rare, but because of their good fat content, they sold for twelve thousand five hundred yuan, with an average price of about seventy yuan per pound.

Big-eyed Gold Spearfish are not only heavier, but also fetch a higher price. The remaining five weighed one thousand three hundred fifty-seven pounds combined and sold for a total of one hundred thirty-three thousand yuan, with an average price of ninety-eight yuan per pound.

So with all the Golden Spearfish added up, he made two hundred and sixty-eight thousand five hundred yuan.

The two Flagfish weren’t expensive, selling for twelve thousand in total.

Adding the previous sales, this fishing trip surprisingly yielded over four hundred thousand.

Chu Mingcheng was taken aback by his own calculation, was it really that much?

But according to the person who was buying the Golden Spearfish, his fish were either hooked or hunted, and were also immediately bled and gutted for freshness.

Moreover, each fish was a mature large one, so the purchase price was a bit higher.

If the Golden Spearfish were caught with nets, the price would be even lower.

To be fair, Chu Mingcheng didn’t think the fame of Golden Spearfish matched its price when considering the unit price.

Out of the three types of Golden Spearfish, only the Big-eyed Gold Spearfish barely approached one hundred.

The purchase price was actually much lower than he had expected, it was just that he didn’t realize the combined weight of these fish would be so exaggerated, he hadn’t paid attention before.

After selling the Golden Spearfish, all the fish were packed and sent off, only a five-pound Long-tailed Shore Bream was kept to eat himself.

After bidding farewell to Wei Jiaguo, Chu Mingcheng drove straight to the shipyard with Jiang Luoluo, feeling quite confident now!

After paying the deposit, they bought some vegetables at the market before heading home.

But as soon as they opened the door, they saw Xiao Mi sitting facing the door. Upon seeing Chu Mingcheng, it immediately started to berate him.

“Meow meow meow?” (You still know how to come back?)

“Meow meow meow meow meow meow?” (Did you go fooling around with this woman again?)

“Meow meow meow meow meow?” (Do you still care about this home?)

“Meow meow meow meow meow?” (Do you know how tiring it is to take care of the kids?)

Jiang Luoluo burst into laughter at this scolding spectacle.

Chu Mingcheng felt quite embarrassed, as he had decided to leave them behind due to the inconvenience of bringing them along with Xiao Mi’s family.

Mainly because there was an automatic cat feeder filled with cat food and cooled boiled water.

Moreover, the kittens were cared for by their mother, so he thought it wouldn’t matter if he left for a few days, not expecting to be questioned by Xiao Mi upon his return.

“Oh dear, I’m sorry! Come on, I apologize to you!” Chu Mingcheng put down what he was holding and reached out to embrace it.

However, Xiao Mi immediately gave him several smacks of the Cat Fist and meowed, “Don’t touch me, old lady!”

Chu Mingcheng was speechless, this behavior seemed so familiar, he turned his head to look at the woman beside him, who was laughing excessively joyfully.

“What are you looking at?”

Jiang Luoluo gave him a punch, and he suddenly understood.

At noon, he personally fried a piece of Long-tailed Shore Bream for Xiao Mi and made a fishbone soup, and let it play outside downstairs for a few hours, which finally calmed it down.

Chu Mingcheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a sense of relief.

These women sure have fiery tempers!

After resting at home for two days, Chen Yang and Zhang Wei were coming.

They were taking the 2 PM flight, so after having lunch and a rest, Chu Mingcheng drove to the airport.

Jiang Luoluo didn’t go with him today, as she had already started preparing her next video.

Arriving at the airport and seeing the two carrying their luggage, Chu Mingcheng slapped their shoulders, “You’ve lost weight, and gotten darker!”

Hearing this, Chen Yang sighed helplessly, “I’ve been out to sea only three times, and my face is now several shades darker than the rest of my body.”

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Mingcheng questioningly, “How do you maintain your skin color? I’ve noticed you’ve only gotten a bit darker than when you were working in the office. People who go out to sea every day should be darker, right?”

Chu Mingcheng nodded in agreement, looking annoyed, “Yeah, tell me about it, it’s so annoying. I actually want to get darker, why can’t I?”

Chen Yang felt like he was being mocked, but he suddenly remembered Zhang Wei applying sunscreen to a female student and raised a doubtful point, “Did you apply sunscreen every time you went out to sea?”

“That’s what my girlfriend would do, what would I, a grown man, need it for?” Chu Mingcheng waved his hand. He had actually considered sunscreen at first.

But for some reason, perhaps because of his ability to swim freely, he didn’t get any darker after he acquired the ability; in fact, his skin even became somewhat lighter.

Jiang Luoluo didn’t notice because she had never seen him when he was darker.

“It makes no sense!” Chen Yang rubbed his chin, puzzled.

Zhang Wei slapped his shoulder with a chuckle, “A man’s tan is just a tan. Doesn’t it add to the rugged charm, what’s there to worry about?”

“You have a point!” Chen Yang decided not to dwell on the issue anymore, and once in the car, they started talking about the boat.

“Ah Cheng, have you decided on the boat? What does it look like, do you have a picture?”

“Of course, I’ll show you.”

Chu Mingcheng pulled out his phone to show them pictures before starting the car to head back.

Chen Yang and Zhang Wei were instantly attracted by the shape of the boat upon receiving the pictures.

“Ah Cheng, did you get a quote for this boat?”

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

“I did, six hundred and eighty thousand. Luoluo and I each paid half, which means this boat will be our common property.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, you are both beautiful and rich, no wonder you never contacted any of the numbers I gave you,” Although Zhang Wei was amazed at the price of the boat, he couldn’t help teasing when he heard that Jiang Luoluo also paid half.
