When they went over, more than a dozen big yellow croakers were almost all weighed.

Among them, the last one that was caught was the most disappointing. It actually reached more than 4,180 grams, a total of more than eight catties!

Just this one alone could be sold for at least 150,000 yuan, not to mention that there were many big yellow croakers that were not less than five catties.

In total, there were at least a few hundred thousand yuan!

Everyone congratulated him one after another, praising Qi Hang for his foresight and ability. They had misjudged him.

“Little Hang, Don’t you have to treat everyone to a meal so that we can all bask in your happiness?”

“It’s no big deal.”

Qi Hang was not a stingy person, so he agreed immediately. Then, he looked at Fang Qing and said, “Sister Qing, why don’t we have a meal together?”

Fang Qing shook her head and said, “I still have to go back to take care of grandpa. You guys go ahead.”

“Alright then.”

“I’ll look for you in the afternoon.”

Fang Qing waved her hand and got off the boat to pack up her things and go back.

Everyone also tactfully left. Qi Hang walked alone on the muddy road in the village, carrying his bucket. He casually made a call.

The person he called was naturally the owner of the fish market, Chen Fanxing. The big yellow croaker had to be sold as soon as possible, and the ingredients had to be kept fresh to ensure the price.

“Hello?” Her charming voice came from the other end of the phone.

“President Chen, I have a batch of goods in my hands. Are you interested?” Qi Hang said lightly.

“You Are… Mr. Qi?”

Chen Fanxing was a little surprised. She did not expect that this young man would call her after only one day. “What goods?”

“Big Yellow Croaker, a total of 14 fish. All of them weigh more than five Jin. The heaviest one weighs more than 8.3 catties.”

“8.3 catties?”

Chen Fanxing couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, her voice rising by two tones.

As a well-known figure in the catering industry, she naturally knew what a big yellow croaker weighing more than eight catties.

Such an extremely rare ingredient was very rare even in the national market.

It just so happened that she had been painstakingly collecting ingredients for the international ocean development forum recently. Although the lobster yesterday was very good, it was still far from enough.

“Is there a problem?” Qi hang asked.

Chen Fanxing knew that she had lost her composure, so she quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Qi, I’m a little excited. Are you sure that big yellow croaker in your hand weighs eight catties?”

“Why would I lie to you?” Qi Hang still answered unhurriedly.

Chen Fanxing quickly reacted. “How about this, Mr. Qi? I’ll offer 180,000 for the heaviest one. If it’s not enough, you can still add on. You must keep this thing for me.”

“I’m not free to go over for the time being.”

“I’ll go pick up the goods. Mr. Qi, just give me the address.”

Qi Hang then gave her his home address.

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and went to the fishing gear shop. He bought the necessary fishing gear for going out to sea and brought a big pile of them home.

In the afternoon, Fang Qing came over to repair the boat on a tricycle with a truckload of materials.

“Grandpa asked me to bring all the equipment that I might need to save a few trips.” Looking at Qi Hang’s strange gaze, Fang Qing explained. “Where do you keep the boat?”

“In the backyard.” Qi Hang pointed in a certain direction.

Fang Qing pushed the cart over and rejected Qi Hang’s hand that was reaching out to help. At the same time, she told him that this was a family skill and not to peek.

Therefore, Qi Hang simply carried the bucket containing the big yellow croaker and sat at the door. Looking at the time, Chen Fanxing should be arriving soon.

His estimation was right. In less than two minutes, the figure of a luxury car appeared outside the village and slowly drove inside.

The village road was not easy to walk on. It took almost ten minutes from the moment he saw the luxury car to the moment it stopped.

A charming beauty got out of the car with an electronic weighing instrument in her hand.

It was Chen Fanxing.

“You can call me in advance and ask me to deliver the things to the village entrance,” Qi hang suggested with a smile.

Chen Fanxing could not help but smile. “That would be impolite. It would show that I don’t respect this deal. You are teaching me to do bad things.”

Qi Hang shook his head and kicked the bucket next to him.

“Here, take a look.”

Chen Fanxing glared at him, as if blaming him for not caring about such a precious thing. It was disrespectful to the food. However, she did not say anything. She squatted down, grabbed a big yellow croaker, and placed it on the scale.

5.7 catties.

Although this fish was rare, it did not seem to attract Chen Fanxing’s interest. She weighed it one by one until the 4,183g number appeared in front of her eyes, only then did she stop.

“It really weighs more than eight catties…” Chen Fanxing’s eyes were filled with disbelief, as if she was curious about how this fish grew.

Looking at her unworldly appearance, Qi Hang could not help but laugh and shake his head.

This was only the result of feeding a little bit of ocean essence. If he added more weight, he could even produce a big yellow croaker weighing 20 catties.

Chen Fanxing was very satisfied with this result. She saw that the fish was also very fresh and full of vitality. She immediately decided to buy all of them.

“There are a total of 14 fish. I won’t buy them by catties either, that will only make you suffer a loss, Mr. Qi.”

She operated her phone and then reported a shocking number. “888,000. I’ll take all of them. What do you think?”

“I’ll sell it to anyone. It’s first come, first served. I don’t care.” Qi Hang looked at the money very lightly now.

“Mr. Qi, you’ve really helped me a lot.”

Chen Fanxing lifted her long hair by her ear. There was a hint of charm in her eyes. She smiled and said, “I’ve been very busy recently. Otherwise, I’ll definitely be the host and bring you to have a good taste of my cooking.”

Qi Hang chuckled. “We’ll talk again when there’s a chance. There’s no rush.”

“That’s true. You’ve gotten such good stuff for two days in a row. You must be exhausted.”

She blinked and said meaningfully, “how about this? I’ll send you some swim bladders in two days so that you can replenish some energy for your body.”

Qi Hang shook his head and laughed. “Tomorrow, I’ll go out to sea to fish again. This time, there’s a boat, so there might be more volume. Can you… handle it?”

“Don’t worry, there’s nothing I can’t handle.”

As he said this, Chen Fanxing seemed to feel a little thirsty. She unintentionally stuck out her rosy tongue and licked her lower lip.

Qi Hang could not help but raise his eyebrows. What did this woman mean?

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous. However, Chen Fanxing was after all a person who had experienced the world. She smiled and changed the topic.

“This fish can’t stay in the barrel for too long. I still have to rush back, so I won’t stay any longer.”

“Please go ahead.”

Qi Hang nodded lightly and watched the other party leave.
