Chapter 191: Harvest
Translator: Aristophaneso
“This is?”
When they walked up on to the ship deck, Xiao Ying looked at the sea cucumbers with confusion. She clearly did not recognize what these things were.
“These are sea cucumbers; sea cucumbers harvested from the sea!” Chu Xian laughed, and continued explaining. “The biggest harvest this time are these sea cucumbers!”
“These are sea cucumbers?” Xiao Ying’s mouth opened slightly in amazement. Her family was not local to the area and so she did not know much about sea cucumbers, but she still knew how precious and expensive they were.
“En!” Chu Xian laughed.
“So many. Isn’t this worth a lot?” Xiao Ying looked around with some astonishment at the neatly piled sea cucumbers, all of them packaged into boxes.
“Heihei, this is only a portion of our haul. The storage is also filled. We have around six tons!” Chu Xian looked at her and laughed. “Guess how much these sea cucumbers are worth?”
“Six tons? That’s a lot!” Xiao Ying’s expression became excited. “Then aren’t these worth millions of rmb?”
Chu Xian lifted a finger and smiled.
“Over a million? That’s also not small. You earned over a million on one trip out to the sea, Xiao Xian you are so strong!” Xiao Ying said to him excitedly, already overcome with the feeling that her boyfriend was the best.
“Eh, you silly!” Chu Xian knocked her head. “These are sea cucumbers! Expensive sea cucumbers. You need to add on a zero to that number!”
“Ah?” Xiao Ying’s mouth fell open in shock.
“Heihei!” Chu Xian was very happy with her reaction. “Come, I’ll show you the other things I got!”
“You still got other things?” Xiao Ying reacted, excitedly grabbing his arm.
“Of course!” Chu Xian nodded and led her to the cabin to show off. “These are bigeye tunas, worth about three to four hundred thousand rmb.”
“Wow, such a large fish. Each of them are one to two meters long!” Xiao Ying stared at the frozen tunas in astonishment.
“En, bigeye tunas are usually between one point five and two meters long, and are a rather expensive fish.” Chu Xian held Xiao Ying close. “There are some giant lobsters, crabs, oh and also a fin, a shark fin!”
“Such big lobsters and crabs. And a fin from a shark? So huge!”
“Yes.” Chu Xian nodded and said proudly. “These are only some of the lesser things that I got on this trip, the really precious thing is here!”
As Chu Xian spoke, he pulled Xiao Ying over to a box in the driving cabin and opened it.
“This is?” Xiao Ying’s eyes shone as she fixed her gaze on the red corals inside.
“Red coral. Each gram of this is worth ten to twenty thousand rmb. I found them by chance at the bottom of the ocean. These three red corals are worth fifty to sixty million rmb; what do you think? I told you, now I can afford to support for a lifetime!” Chu Xian laughed.
Xiao Ying paused and laughed. “Fifty to sixty million, you earned over seventy million rmb in just one trip, and with the money you make selling the fish, don’t you already have a hundred and fifty million rmb?”
“Around that much.” Chu Xian laughed. “With the fish farm that I spent eighteen million to lease and the ten million rmb ship, and also the ten million rmb villa that I bought for Old Huang and the others, not to mention the goldfish store and aquarium store and other things, my property should be worth over two hundred million!”
Chu Xian counted out loud and stunned Xiao Ying. She had only known that Chu Xian had rented a fish farm but had not known it was worth eighteen million, and he also did not know he had spent ten million on a villa, and she also had not asked about the price of the ship.
“Billionaire !” Xiao Ying was floored, and her heart jumped crazily in her chest. She stared at Chu Xian for a moment before jumping over and hugging him tightly.
“Haha!” Chu Xian laughed happily. “So, Xiao Ying friend, you can now depend on this rich guy. In the future, you can eat whatever you want to eat, and buy whatever you want to buy!”
“You are so amazing!” Xiao Ying clung to him tightly and said happily.
“Of course, if I am not this good how could I find such a beautiful girl like Xiao Ying!” Chu Xian patted her shoulder. ” Alright, I have to deal with all these sea cucumbers today and then go to the stores later!”
Xiao Ying giggled as she landed on her feet. “Do you need my help?”
“How could I make my princess work!” Chu Xian shook his head. “Right, which one of these red corals do you like?”
“Ah? What, Xiao Xian, you are giving me one?” Xiao Ying looked at him with amazement, and then she laughed. “Stop playing, what would I do with one of these?”
“What do you mean? Of course we will use it to make some jewelry. Just think how beautiful you will look at our wedding wearing a red coral necklace, or a ring and bracelet!” Chu Xian smiled at her.
“Ah, no need, it’s too expensive. I’m not marrying you for these things, just sell them!” Xiao Ying’s eyes showed her emotions, but she still waved away the corals.
“Heihei, they aren’t expensive at all. Your husband will make much more money in the future.” Chu Xian laughed. “Take one of these to make into jewelry for our wedding, I’ve decided!”
“Ok, I have decided!” Xiao Ying looked at Chu Xian and suddenly called out.
“En? What have you decided?” Chu Xian looked at her in confusion.
“I decided. You’ll come with me the day after tomorrow when I go home. I’ll bring you to meet my family and show off!” When Xiao Ying finished her sentence she laughed.
“Eh? Take me to show off?” Chu Xian pointed at himself and laughed along with Xiao Ying. “So now I’ve become your show piece!”
“Of course!” Xiao Ying cocked her chin proudly. “I haven’t been home since summer, and my mother just happened to call me a couple of days ago, asking me to come home and also saying that she wanted to meet you. Now I’ve decided, the day after tomorrow you come home with me!”
“The day after tomorrow?” Chu Xian laughed. “Isn’t this a little too hasty, we should prepare a little. We should take at least a few days to prepare so we can show off well!”
“Screw you! The day after tomorrow, or the day after. No later, when the time comes you have to accompany me!” Xiao Ying pulled his hand.
“Of course, no problem. I’ll go to your home to thank father and mother for brining such a beautiful fairy like you to me!”
“You silve tongue, fine, just hurry and finish your matters in these next two days. And you have to stay at my place for two days.”
“No problem, as long as I have you in my arms I can stay anywhere.” Chu Xian laughed.
“Alright, stop playing. Go take care of your business.”
“Yes, yes!” Chu Xian walked away laughing.
All of the sea cucumbers were packed away in boxes and brought to the villa to sun dry. Old Huang and the others had already finished dealing with half of the haul, and the dozen or so people very quickly finished the rest.
The bigeye tuna remained on the ship, and Chu Xian was planning to get Grandpa Feng to find a buyer.
Since he was going to visit his mother and father in law, Chu Xian had Old Huang prepare some giant lobsters, crab, and shark fin for him.
“Find a car and bring all of this to the villa!”
“Yes boss!”
