“Looks like that was just a brief resurgence.”

I guess it’s because it’s been getting pulled the whole time, the fish was slowly being drawn to the surface, which left it with a bit of life in it.

He dived into the water upon seeing the fish’s swim bladder protruding near the surface, knowing the fish couldn’t get away.

Swimming over to grab the slender tail of the yellow croaker, he brought it back up to the surface with him.

As soon as Chu Mingcheng broke the surface, Zhang Wei immediately asked, “Did you catch the fish?”

“Of course,” Chu Mingcheng replied, proudly lifting his golden prize for all to see.

“Great!” Zhao Jun let out a sigh of relief. Anyone would lose sleep over a big yellow croaker getting away.

Chu Mingcheng brought the yellow croaker on board, and a chill ran through him as the sea breeze hit.

He handed the yellow croaker to Zhao Jun to store in the foam box and quickly ran to the cabin to take a shower and change clothes, to avoid catching a cold.

Zhao Jun weighed the yellow croaker first and gasped when he saw it was six and a half jin.

So fresh from the catch, a jin could sell for five thousand, and who knows, the price could double if they waited.

Wild yellow croaker, even those over three jin, would cause a frenzy among buyers.

To be safe, Zhao Jun examined the fish carefully to confirm it was wild before wrapping it in plastic film, storing it in a foam box alone, padded with crushed ice.

Zhang Wei took his phone and snapped a 360-degree, all-around shot of the fish, clicking his tongue in admiration, “Such a big yellow croaker could sell for at least thirty thousand, right?”

Zhao Jun shook his head, “It’s more than that. Bosses will probably auction it off; it could go for fifty thousand. It’s just too bad it’s not the last few days before the New Year, when the price really gets outrageous.”

Although he envied Chu Mingcheng for catching such a large yellow croaker, he did not feel jealous.

His haul wasn’t small either that afternoon; adding in the evening’s catch, he estimated over fifty thousand from the trip.

By himself, it was hard to know how long it would take to make that much.

After Chu Mingcheng finished showering, he found Zhang Wei and Zhao Jun already prepping dinner, just waiting for him to cook.

After dinner and a short rest, he continued driving the boat to look for a new fishing spot.

There were four boxes with crushed ice on the boat, and the plan was to fill them all up before heading back, which would save a good deal of fuel.

Unfortunately, with too many people fishing for yellow croaker these days, the three of them couldn’t find another good fishing spot until around two in the morning.

With the fuel nearly half depleted, Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to stop the boat and go to sleep.

All night, he barely caught enough to fill one box, Zhao Jun did a little better than half, and Zhang Wei, with slightly less luck, caught only a third of a box.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t get up until noon the next day.

He moved the foam box with the six and a half jin yellow croaker to the cabin and then steered the boat toward Wen City’s docks.

Once he had a signal, he notified the customers in the group and also asked the out-of-town customers to report their orders.

This time, with the three of them fishing together, their catch was much more than he would have gotten alone.

This time Chu Mingcheng’s catch sold for a total of one hundred and sixty-four thousand. The yellow croakers weighed only thirty jin more than the last catch, but the income was 50% higher.

The main reason was that the yellow croakers caught this time were bigger, which naturally drove the prices higher.

The buying power of the customers in the group was indeed impressive. Just the day before yesterday they took more than a hundred jin of yellow croaker, and today’s stock on the boat was wiped clean again.

This was mainly because the group’s customers had been introducing some friends, increasing the number by more than a dozen.

And this number will continue to grow as time goes by.

In addition, there were some hotel owners, whose one-time purchases were quite substantial.

With China’s large population, there’s really no need to worry about a best-seller like the yellow croaker going unsold.

Zhao Jun’s catch sold for seventy-three thousand in total. Chu Mingcheng made twenty-two thousand from his share, with Zhao Jun keeping just over fifty thousand.

Zhang Wei’s catch sold for fifty-seven thousand, and Chu Mingcheng took five thousand seven hundred under the table, without letting Zhao Jun see.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng’s total income from this trip exceeded one hundred and ninety thousand, proving that having a group fish together was the right strategy.

An extra twenty or thirty thousand each time adds up to more than a hundred thousand by the end of the year.

“Wait for my call for the next sea trip; I need a day to handle some affairs.” Now that he had a six and a half jin yellow croaker, Chu Mingcheng intended to arrange a visit with Jiang Luoluo.

PS: The Zangli family went full yang today; it’s unbearable.

Only this one chapter today, I can’t write more; I feel dizzy and my whole body aches.
