Pretend to be the host, pretend to be in love!

The Beachcombing Girl and the Cool Campus Heartthrob (Part 7)

Song Ning was embarrassed, then realized what she had done and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I didn't..."

Brother Feng waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. You guys came here to sell fish?"

Ah Xing chuckled as he put the box down. "Yeah, let me show you my brother Ah Ning's haul. He caught all the big rock cichlids here all by himself. Pretty impressive, huh?"

Feng looked down and said, "Hey, it's Brother Ning, right? Not bad, brother. Your strength and luck are both pretty good. Let me take a look at this one."

She scooped up the 5.9-pound stone goby with precision, saying, "This one looks like it weighs at least six pounds, right? It's worth quite a bit of money."

Song Ning honestly replied, "Not quite, just a little less than five jin and nine fen."

Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked at him and burst into laughter.

"Okay, no problem then, little brother. With your luck, you'll definitely catch a bigger one next time."

She did the math quickly: "This one weighs five jin and nine fen, that's two hundred and seventy yuan. This one is one thousand sixty yuan. This one weighs four jin and seven fen, that's two hundred and twenty yuan per jin, one thousand yuan. And these two weigh three jin, that's one hundred and fifty yuan per jin, that's one thousand yuan too. All the others are one thousand ninety yuan, that's five thousand fivety yuan in total."

Song Ning hadn't calculated it, but this price was five or six hundred yuan higher than on his app. He pursed his lips, realizing that the other party was being considerate of him.

"Brother Feng, just give me five thousand. This price is too high. You need to make money too."

He's not really making money off these fish, and he can't just stop people from making money just because they're taking care of him.

Feng glanced at him several times, then looked at Ah Xing.

Ah Xing scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

“Brother Feng, just do as Brother Aning said. He’s not just moving here for fun. He’ll probably come here often after he gets his permit, so just do it normally.”

Upon hearing this, Brother Feng said, "Alright, then it's five thousand two. The extra two hundred is a red envelope for my little brother, to share in his good luck."

Song Ning felt embarrassed to refuse, so she could only shyly let Brother Feng scan the code.

After deducting 150 yuan in taxes from the 5,200 yuan, Song Ning looked at the newly deposited 5,000 yuan on her phone and turned her head away.

"Brother Xing, shall we go eat? It's a deal I made."

"Okay, don't rush. We'll go over once we've settled everything here."

Ah Xing was all smiles. He had caught quite a few fish today. Although he wasn't as lucky as Song Ning, he still earned 1,700 after tax. This time, Song Ning didn't pay for the fuel for their trip. After the brothers paid for it, he still earned at least 1,500 or 1,600. With such a high daily income, who wouldn't be happy?

Song Ning nodded and stood aside to wait. Everyone had a good harvest. They sold all the fish that could be sold for money, and kept the rest that wasn't worth much for themselves.

After paying the bill, it was almost dark. Everyone was starving, so they quickly found a restaurant that Ah Xing and his friends often went to and sat down.

Ah Xing and his group really didn't stand on ceremony with Song Ning. The six burly men ordered a total of ten dishes: braised pork knuckle, twice-cooked pork, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, a plate of big plate chicken, a plate of pan-fried ribbonfish, stir-fried river shrimp with chives, a cold dish of pig's ears, a scrambled egg dish, and two vegetable dishes.

The dishes were served quickly, and the braised pork knuckle looked like it had been stewed in advance; it melted in your mouth as soon as you put it in your mouth.

The other dishes were also fairly standard. Song Ning tried them and felt they weren't particularly amazing, but the skill involved was solid and they were all quite good.

The rice bucket was refilled once, which finally allowed all six people to have their fill.

Ah Le patted his belly and let out a satisfied burp.

"This meal was really enjoyable. I'm so happy today. I made money, had a good meal, and most importantly, I met Brother Aning. I'm so happy."

Song Ning also silently patted his belly under the table; he had eaten quite a bit too.

The meal didn't cost him too much money; a table full of dishes only cost a little over three hundred to four hundred yuan. When he paid the bill, Song Ning was shocked by the prices in the town.

After they finished eating, Ah Xing drove everyone back to his home, and everyone took the fish they had saved and drove off.

Song Ning also kept three small fish, which he planned to steam and eat with noodles for breakfast the next morning.

The little electric scooter carried him home along the path, facing the evening breeze.

He had left a light on for himself on the first floor of the building. Seeing a light left on for him from afar, Song Ning felt great riding his electric scooter.

After arriving home, Song Ning charged the car, cleaned the fish and put it in the refrigerator. She then took a refreshing hot shower and emerged from the bathroom, steaming hot.

He was wearing a white T-shirt that looked loose underneath, making him appear very thin. He walked barefoot on a towel outside the bathroom to dry his feet before changing into his slippers.

This house is over ten years old. The decoration looks a bit old, but it's very clean. The floor tiles are polished to a shine by Song Ning every day. He wiped his hair, walked to the bed, sat down, and took out his phone to check it.

Ah Xing added him to a group chat with about ten people, half of whom Song Ning had just met that day.

Ah Xing: This is my relative's son, Ah Ning. Let's get to know each other. He just moved to this neighborhood and he's a really nice guy.

Chicken Bro: My brother is a really nice guy, everyone should take good care of him in the future.

Ah Le: Indeed, my younger brother is a very honest person, and he's also handsome.

Song Ning scratched her face, a little embarrassed, and held her phone for a while before sending a greeting in the group chat.

Fortunately, Ah Xing quickly explained to everyone that he was just shy, and everyone greeted him warmly before continuing their conversation.

Ah Suan: My boat's engine's been acting up lately, so I'll be taking a couple of days off. My uncle has a small crayfish pond; are any of you interested? He said there aren't many crayfish this year, probably because there are a lot of eels in it. He asked me to come help him collect them so it won't affect next year. We can take what we find home to eat, or we can sell it. Anyone interested?

Ah Xing: Then your uncle lost a lot of money this year? No way, we have to give him money.

Ah Suan: He only lost money raising crayfish. He made a lot of money buying gold for his wife in the first half of the year, so the money he lost from crayfish is nothing.

Ah Le: Holy crap? Your uncle bought gold for the first half of the year? That's a huge profit! But wasn't it for his wife? He probably didn't buy that much.

Ah Suan: Sigh, what do you know? My aunt's biggest hobby is buying gold. Earlier this year, they were thinking of preparing some dowry for Sister Qing. They said they would make two dragon and phoenix bracelets, two gold necklaces, two gold rings, and two pairs of gold earrings. Sister Qing and my aunt would wear the same set.

Asuan: Oh right, my uncle said that when he saw that processed gold was so expensive, he simply bought two gold bars, each weighing one pound. Now you all know what the price of gold is, he made double his money.

Now, not only the others in the group, but even Song Ning, watching from behind the screen, felt a little envious.

Two gold bars, each weighing 500 grams, would make at least 600,000 yuan. That's truly...

"How enviable!"
