If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

Actually, it was only two years ago, under Zhou Wu's influence, that the trend of eating seafood began to take off across Da Long. Therefore, the prices of seafood were basically set by Zhou Wu.

Zhou Wu set these prices purely based on his understanding of the rarity and value of seafood from his previous life.

Moreover, in order to promote seafood, Zhou Wu specially copied many recipes and sent them directly to Gu Family Restaurant in the capital. If it became popular in the capital, it would become popular throughout Dalong.

Why are yellow croaker and spiny lobster so expensive? Because Zhou Wu created a ranking list to pique everyone's curiosity and desire to buy, listing the most precious seafood, including yellow croaker and spiny lobster. The other eight are large yellow croaker, goose barnacles, sea cucumber, geoduck, tiger crab, grouper, mud crab, and salmon.

Because Team Nine failed to acquire yellow croaker and spiny lobster, the dock workers gathered around to watch the spectacle, all eager to see what level Team Nine's catch would reach this time.

"Have you figured it out?"

All the goods have been delivered to the dock warehouse and frozen (ice making has already been completed).

"I'm being pressured, but I'm already calculating it."

Everyone watched the accountant with tense expressions. The accountant was sweating profusely from calculating, and finally he stopped writing.

"I've figured it out."

One sentence put everyone's hearts in their throats again.

"The ninth team not only ranked first in fish catch this time, but also broke our dock's record."

"Okay~~"

"Woohoo~~~"

"Haha, I knew Team Nine would definitely pull off a big win this time."

"Amazing."

"What a blessing."

Everyone was praising Team Nine, and the crew members of Team Nine breathed a sigh of relief, their faces instantly beaming with smiles.

"What about the bonus?"

"Don't rush me, I'll give it to you right away."

To boost morale, bonuses were distributed on-site at the dock.

"Here you go, it's all ordered."

The accountant handed a tray of silver directly to the boat captain, roughly counted it, and found it to be at least two hundred taels. The onlookers were all extremely envious.

The bonuses vary each time because the amount is calculated based on the value of the catch, which is essentially a commission. However, the highest bonus ever awarded at the dock is only fifty taels, which shows that the Ninth Team's harvest this time is indeed gratifying.

"Boss."

The crew members of the Ninth Team all stared longingly at the captain, hesitant to speak.

"Haha, you little rascal, let's go and split the money."

"Haha, let's go, let's go."

"Come on."

The group went directly to a restaurant they frequented at the dock to improve their meals.

It's called a restaurant, but it's really just an open-air stall. After all, everyone works hard to earn money; they all have families to support.

"Old Zheng, do you have any braised pig's head or rolled pancakes?"

They started shouting before they even sat down.

"Hey, you're back. I'll be right there."

When Old Zheng saw that it was a regular customer, he immediately got busy. His specialty is pork head meat rolls, which are large in quantity and affordable, so business has always been good.

The dockworkers do hard manual labor, so they need this kind of economical and affordable food.

While waiting for the food, the boat captain took out the silver and started distributing it according to the number of people.

When the boatman placed a piece of silver in front of Li Zheng, Li Zheng was stunned.

"This is for me? I have one too?"

"If you don't want it, give it back to me."

The boatman joked, but Li Zheng grabbed the silver in his hand. This was the first time he had earned money through his own abilities, and he had never imagined that he would one day earn money through his own skills.

"Thank you."

Li Zheng was saying this to the boat captain, but also to the entire Ninth Team.

The boat captain and the others simply smiled at the fool.

Although he only stayed on the ship for less than ten days, everyone took good care of him, even though he was a fool. Li Zheng wasn't really a fool, so he could naturally feel it.

The boat captain not only didn't look down on Li Zheng for his clumsiness on the boat, but also shared the bonus with him. Li Zheng couldn't quite understand the boat captain's actions.

Having lived in the palace since childhood, he was told by everyone around him that he couldn't be too kind, that everyone who approached him had an ulterior motive, and that he had to use any means necessary to achieve his goal.

But now Li Zheng's worldview has begun to change. He has come to realize that people are not necessarily all deceitful and treacherous; they can also be sincere with each other.

"Here it comes, pork head meat rolls and meat patties."

"Eat up, Old Zheng's rolled pancakes are so delicious."

As if burdened by a long-standing knot in his heart, Li Zheng revealed a sincere smile, then grabbed a wrap in front of him and happily began to eat.

From a distance, Zhou Wu watched as Li Zheng, now tanned dark, was laughing and eating pig's head meat rolls with a group of fishermen, showing no trace of the prince's airs, and smiled slightly.

"Go, go back."

"My lord, what about the Fourth Prince?"

The guards following Zhou Wu were all experienced veterans who knew Li Zheng well, so they knew Li Zheng's identity. However, it was precisely because of this that they kindly reminded Zhou Wu.

"Don't worry about him."

"Yes."

Since Zhou Wu has already said so, it's not appropriate for the local authorities to say anything more, since the lord certainly has his own plans.

. . . . . .

"Boss, when is our next sea voyage?"

Li Zheng has fully integrated into the Ninth Team and has become accustomed to his new role.

At first, everyone called Li Zheng "idiot" to mock him, but now everyone still calls him "idiot," though it's no longer meant to ridicule him. It's just a rule on the ship that everyone has a nickname. Li Zheng's nickname "idiot" is simply because everyone is used to it, but Li Zheng doesn't object at all and accepts it gladly.

"What, you still want to come?"

The boatman smiled and looked at the fool.

"Boss, I'm from the Ninth Team."

When Li Zheng said this, the other crew members all looked at him with admiration.

"Haha, of course you're one of my Ninth Team. You'll always be one if you want to, but you'd better go back and ask Lord Zhou."

The boatman's reminder brought Li Zheng back to reality. Yes, he wasn't a real fisherman, even though at this moment, he wanted to be one.

Upon hearing Zhou Wu's name, Li Zheng's smile vanished instantly, and the others realized that the fool had offended Lord Zhou.

“Fool, you will always be a member of the Ninth Team. Although we have only known each other for less than ten days, I believe you are not a bad person. So you need to speak to Lord Zhou properly. I believe he will see through it.”

Even now, everyone still believes that Li Zheng was sent to the Ninth Team because he offended Zhou Wu.

"I'll go find him."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he bid farewell to everyone.

Everyone watched the fool leave with a sense of regret.

"Boss, tell me, how exactly did that idiot offend the boss?"

"How would I know? But I'm sure there's some misunderstanding between them."
