As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 163 - 151: The Tricycle Makes Another Appearance_2
Chapter 163: Chapter 151: The Tricycle Makes Another Appearance_2
“Brother Ming really went all out today!” Jiang Yuqi exclaimed in amazement, “That fish looks like it costs two or three thousand!”
As a gourmet blogger, she knew the prices of ordinary flatfish.
“The price doesn’t really matter, what’s important is that such a big fish suits Brother Haiwang’s personality, doesn’t it?”
Chu Mingcheng waved his hands dismissively, while taking the opportunity to flatter Brother Haiwang a little.
After all, someone was going to be a free chef tonight, and he, along with Jiang Luoluo, would get to enjoy a meal and even shoot an extra episode for his vlog — a few kind words were not too much to give.
“Of course, I can’t resist these big catches,” Brother Haiwang said, seeing that Chu Mingcheng truly didn’t care about the value of the fish, which raised his opinion of him a few notches, thinking he was really someone with whom you could get along.
Next, it was Jiang Yuqi’s turn to choose.
The young girl struggled in front of the two boxes for a long time before finally deciding on the one on the right.
“I’ll pick this one.”
Chu Mingcheng raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”
Jiang Yuqi nodded vigorously, “Absolutely sure!”
“This… I’ll give you one more chance, are you sure you want this one?” Chu Mingcheng’s reaction piqued both Jiang Yuqi’s and Brother Haiwang’s interest in the contents of this fish box, believing it must contain something good.
“I’ve chosen this one.” Jiang Yuqi didn’t change her mind but resolutely removed the towel and opened the lid, revealing the somewhat dazed-looking Money spot.
Chu Mingcheng shook his head slightly, she missed her chance!
However, the two people who hadn’t seen what was in the other fish box were also very surprised to see the Money spot.
Brother Haiwang’s eyebrows shot up, “Wow, that’s a big Money spot, it must be about three pounds!”
Chu Mingcheng nodded, “It’s three pounds and two taels.”
“Ha ha, it’s a live Money spot; that’s not bad at all!” Jiang Yuqi was equally satisfied with the fish she had chosen, believing she hadn’t made the wrong choice.
Then, their attention turned to the last box.
“Ah Cheng, can I open this fish box and take a look?” Brother Haiwang asked.
Chu Mingcheng nodded, “Of course you can, but it’s a pity that you have no fate with the catch inside!”
The look of regret on his face wasn’t feigned; after all, the sea eel truly was a great selling point. He had thought for sure that one of them would choose it, but it turned out unexpectedly!
But since they’d agreed on ‘choose two out of three’, Chu Mingcheng wouldn’t offer the sea eel to them.
When playing a game, one must follow the rules. Going back on one’s word would just spoil the fun.
“Gosh!” Brother Haiwang had just opened the box when the suddenly rising sea eel inside gave him quite a scare.
Jiang Yuqi was stunned at the sight of the sea eel and stood there, completely unresponsive.
Jiang Luoluo blinked her eyes and looked sympathetically at the young girl beside her who had frozen up; that was a missed opportunity worth billions!
“This Red Sea Eel is too exaggerated!” Brother Haiwang exclaimed, impressed.
He had prepared a long-tail, bent-tooth sea eel before; the last one only weighed thirty pounds.
This one was noticeably thicker, and it was hard to tell its full length while it was in the box, but it was definitely bigger than the one he had worked with.
Chu Mingcheng laughed, “I was also startled when I came across it; I almost thought I had hooked a giant python. It took me a whole hour to struggle with it before I pulled it up.”
“Impressive, now I’m even more excited about going out to sea tomorrow.” Brother Haiwang gave him a thumbs-up.
It hadn’t been caught in a fishing net, but through a direct struggle with the large sea eel, and in just a few hours, he had caught three exceptional prey, a feat Brother Haiwang truly admired.
By then, Jiang Yuqi had finally come to her senses, and with a mournful expression, she said, “Can I choose again?”
“Sorry, you can’t! We had an agreement, so it cannot be changed,” Chu Mingcheng rejected her without mercy.
If you could just change whenever, it would have been better to have them choose openly from the start.
Jiang Luoluo didn’t say anything. She wasn’t Chu Mingcheng’s lover but was closer than a lover, believing she could persuade him if she spoke up.
However, she wouldn’t argue on behalf of Jiang Yuqi out of sympathy; she wasn’t foolish and understood the value of the sea eel.
Secondly, for her, Chu Mingcheng was her own person, and she wouldn’t unfairly hurt her own to please an outsider. She never did nonsensical things.
Yet, Jiang Yuqi was just speaking rhetorically; it would have been fine if she had blindly chosen the large sea eel. Switching after seeing it would appear greedy, and she wasn’t that kind of person.
Brother Haiwang looked at the large sea eel, somewhat tempted to make an offer.
But thinking that he had already scored the Emperor Fish for free today, and having dealt with this type of sea eel before, he ultimately refrained from asking.
It was still raining, and staying outside was not very comfortable; the blind selection here had also come to an end.
So, Chu Mingcheng instructed, “Luoluo, you go ahead and arrange a hotel for Brother Haiwang and Ah Qi. Afterwards, head to my place. I’ll deal with this sea eel and then take the fish back with me.”
“Okay, Brother Haiwang, Ah Qi, let’s go ahead!” Jiang Luoluo nodded, then said to the two men.
Brother Haiwang and Jiang Yuqi had no objections and, after saying goodbye to Chu Mingcheng, left the dock for the hotel.
Once they were gone, Chu Mingcheng took out his phone and made a call, “Grandpa, do you want a nearly four-meter Red Sea Eel?”
A man’s word is his bond; what is said to be done next time, must be done next time.
“How many meters?” Wei Jiaguo cleaned his ears, suspecting he had heard an auditory hallucination.
“Nearly four meters, three meters and seventy-eight centimeters long to be precise, and it weighs fifty jin. Mainly, it’s still alive. Do you want it or not?”
“The dock, is it? I’m coming right now!”
“Grandpa, where do you live? Should I deliver it to you?”
“No need, I’ll come by myself!”
After hanging up, Wei Jiaguo immediately put on a coat.
He went to the garage and looked at his vehicles.
In the end, his gaze settled on the little three-wheeler in the corner, hesitating slightly.
He felt that a live sea eel might not be easy to manage and could easily slip away.
But, there’s always a way to handle such matters!
He searched the warehouse and found a wooden board to place on it.
He then f on his face.
It seemed like Grandpa was going to get lost due to senility today!

Chu Mingcheng was very attentive and didn’t wait for Wei Jiaguo to instruct him; he immediately moved the fish box to the side of the tricycle and then took the sea eel out and placed it on the board atop the tricycle, securing it with the rope he had found.
Tied up like a bundle, ensuring the sea eel couldn’t move.
Since Chu Mingcheng had directly cut the fishing line earlier, there was still a piece dangling in front of the sea eel’s mouth.
So he purposely attached a segment of fishing line and tied it to the cushion’s arm rest at the front of the tricycle, causing the eel’s head to stand up, making it all the more conspicuous.
Wei Jiaguo saw this and nodded in satisfaction, praising the young man’s service, he asked, “How much?”
Although Chu Mingcheng was already quite familiar with him, he wouldn’t give away such a precious thing for free, and he had already figured out the price.
“Let’s say eighty per jin, this one is fifty-one jin and two taels, that makes more than four thousand. Grandpa, just give me four thousand.”
“Next time you get this kind of big catch, remember to call me.” Chu Mingcheng asked for four thousand, and Wei Jiaguo gave him four thousand two hundred.
After instructing him, Wei Jiaguo then leisurely drove away on the tricycle.
Passersby curiously glanced at the big sea eel on the vehicle, followed it for a distance, and then surpassed the tricycle on foot.
Watching from behind, Chu Mingcheng nearly burst into laughter.
Indeed, ingcheng locked the cockpit door and drove back.
Before leaving, he casually greeted Wei Jiaguo, who was still at the dock, unable to find the exit.
He wondered if they would wake up to a news story tomorrow.
“Shocking! Senile old man chases python in the rain…”
