The roads in the village were not easy to walk on. It was only toward the end of the evening that Li Yizheng brought Qi Hang to the city.

Although it was located on an island, the hustle and bustle here were no less than that of a first or second-tier big city.

Although it was already late evening, there were still many people who came from the sea and brought their goods to the fish market to sell after the tide had ebbed.

Under normal circumstances, people would stay in the small retail area and shout to sell their goods. The scene was rather chaotic.

However, in the large wholesale area, there would be big bosses who would come by to purchase some high-quality goods. Goods like the splendid lobster could naturally be considered high-quality goods, moreover, it was very rare.

Li Yizheng made a phone call and then led Qi Hang inside while introducing the surrounding area. As they passed through, the crowd slowly became less crowded.

“Yo, Li Yizheng, what good stuff did you bring again?”

A male boss with a cigarette in his mouth walked out of the shop and patted Li Yizheng’s shoulder, acting familiar.

He looked at the snakeskin bag in Qi Hang’s hand and lowered his voice, “Some good stuff came to me to sell. This time, I’ll give you a higher price. I guarantee that you’ll never find a higher price than me.”

“I didn’t bring any goods this time.” Li Yizheng patted Qi Hang beside him. “Today… No, I think the best goods this year have been obtained by my brother. Now, let’s see the market price.”

“This young man looks very unfamiliar.”

Only then did the fat boss size up Qi Hang, who did not look like a fisherman in terms of temperament or appearance. He scratched his chin and looked at Li Yizheng. “Really?”

“How could I lie to you? This is my brother’s first time out at sea, and he already caught a treasure.”

Li Yi Zheng’s face was full of pride as if he was the one who caught the splendid lobster. As he spoke, he emphasized, “An absolute treasure.”

“What treasure can there be on your first time out at sea?” The fat boss immediately rolled his eyes and said with disdain, “I don’t believe it. You’re just boasting.”

He naturally did not believe Li Yi Zheng’s words.

Catching fish was not fishing. This was a skill. Even if an experienced person went out to the sea, they might not be able to get any valuable goods in a few months, let alone Qi Hang who looked like a novice.

Oh right, he was indeed a novice. Li Yizheng said it was his first time out to sea.

Thinking of this, the fat boss rolled his eyes again.

Li Yi Zheng liked to make jokes to scare people.

“If you don’t believe me, if you don’t believe me, then I’ll sell it to someone else.” Li Yi Zheng pretended to leave.

“Hiss, you brat…”

The fat boss hurriedly pulled him back. “Don’t leave yet. What exactly is it?”

Li Yi Zheng smiled mysteriously. “Take a guess.”

“What kind of fish can be considered a treasure?”

The fat boss observed the bulging large snakeskin bag. After a long while, he shook his head. “I can’t figure it out, stop playing games with me. How about this? No matter what it is, I’ll accept it at a price 10% higher than the market price!”

“That’s what you said.” Li Yi Zheng immediately raised his eyebrows.

“I said it!” The fat boss was obviously intrigued.

Li Yizheng then came to Qi Hang’s side and helped him untie the snakeskin bag.

Qi Hang took out the male splendid lobster. The colorful color immediately attracted the fat boss’s eyes.

“F*ck, this is… this is the splendid lobster?”

The fat boss was shocked. As the lobster’s huge body was completely revealed, his hand trembled. He did not even realized it when he was burned by the cigarette butt.

It was too big.

It was too shocking.

It was not that he had never seen a splendid lobster before, but it was usually only half the length of an arm, about two to three catties.

However, this big lobster in front of him.

Even in its curled-up posture, it was almost as long as an adult’s leg!

It looked like it was at least seven to eight catties!

Maybe it wasn’t just that!

What king crab or king shrimp, in front of it, it even became a younger brother!

What the f*ck…

The fat boss instantly felt a little regretful. Why did he have to offer a price that was 10% higher than the market price?

If he opened his mouth, that would be tens of thousands of yuan gone!

Looking at the shocked expression on the boss’ face, Li Yizheng smiled smugly. “How about it, boss? Name your price.”

The fat boss immediately became conflicted.

“This… this…”

To be honest, if he wanted to get it, he was not afraid that he would not be able to get his hands on such a good item.

It was just that he was uncertain about this price.

With such a large body size, he could no longer accept the market price as it was before.

“Stop stuttering.” Li Yi Zheng held up the other splendid lobster. “There are two in total. Boss, are you interested?”

The Fat Boss was numb. It was already very rare to get such a big lobster in a year, and now there were two at once?

However, the second lobster was much smaller, so it was relatively normal.

“Boss Liu?”

The other party’s dull expression made Li Yizheng laugh out loud.

“Sigh…”

The fat boss came back to his senses. “I’m definitely interested in this. How do you plan to sell it?”

“My brother got it. You have to ask him.”

“Oh.” The fat boss looked at Qi Hang. “Little brother, how do you plan to sell it?”

“I’m not sure of the market price either.” Qi Hang smiled faintly. “I’ll sell it if the price is right.”

“Then… 100,000 yuan for both of them?” The fat boss offered a price.

At this time, many people had already noticed the two splendid lobsters and were gradually approaching them.

If those big bosses were to get involved, he might not have a chance to obtain such good lobsters.

“100,000 won’t do.”

Li Yizheng refused right away. He was helping Qi Hang mark the price. He wanted to take away such a large splendid lobster for an average of 50,000 yuan. Wasn’t he treating them as fools?

Seeing that Li Yizheng was not happy, the fat boss quickly changed his words. “How about this, I’ll add another 15,000.115,000, how about it?”

“You want to take it for 115,000? Old Liu, you’re too evil.”

A voice suddenly sounded from the side.

A few people turned their heads to look. It was the fisherman next door.

“Little brother, can I take a look at this lobster?” This person also knew that the one who was really in charge was Qi Hang.

Qi Hang nodded slightly and handed the splendid lobster to him.

“Good stuff… it’s really good stuff…” that person clicked his tongue in wonder and praised the splendid lobster endlessly. “I’ll offer 120,000! A pair, I’ll take it all!”

“Ptui!” The fat boss was immediately unhappy. “I was still wondering how much you’d offer. You have the nerve to bargain with just an additional 5,000 yuan?”

He looked at Qi Hang with a determined look. “I’ll add another 3,000, 123,000!”

“I’ll add 2,000,125,000!”

“I’ll offer 128,000!”

More and more fishermen came over and scrambled to offer prices, all of which rose by several thousand.

Many of the surrounding fishermen looked enviously at the two people and praised Qi Hang’s good luck.

However, Li Yizheng was not in a hurry as these people continued to bid. It was as if he was waiting for someone.

Not long after, when the price reached 140,000, the surrounding people suddenly opened up a path.

A beautiful woman with a hot figure walked through the crowd.

Her exquisite face and powerful aura attracted the gazes of the people around her, sizing her up.

Qi Hang immediately saw Li Yizheng, this perverted man, rush up to greet her.

“President Chen, is it? My name is Li Yizheng. Just call me Ah Zheng.”
