Chapter 12 - 012: Going to the City to Shop
Having returned to the shore, Lin Yang placed his belongings on his electric scooter and rode home.
When he passed through the town's streets, he made another stop at the vegetable market, planning to sell the Crucian Carp he had caught that morning.
That morning, he had caught a total of about twelve or thirteen pounds of Crucian Carp, most of them weighing around 200 to 300 grams. He sold the fish to an old lady who ran a seafood stall at the market.
Initially, he asked for 20 dollars per pound, which was roughly the going rate for wild Crucian Carp, but the old lady, seeing his young age, started the bargaining at 10 dollars.
After some negotiation, they settled at 15 dollars per pound. Lin Yang sold ten pounds, planning to take the remaining few nearly half-pound Big Plate Crucian Carps home for himself to eat.
With another 150 dollars in hand, clutching two bills, Lin Yang hummed a tune as he sped home on his scooter.
By the time he got home,
his parents had already finished lunch and, instead of napping today, were sitting in the courtyard each fiddling with their cell phones.
Seeing Lin Yang return, Old Lin got up, walked over with a smile, and said, "Well done, son. Your mom and I were both watching your livestream today."
"Your mom didn't believe the money was from livestreaming, and she insisted on watching you livestream."
Lin Yang shook his head helplessly upon hearing his dad's words, "You believe it now, don't you?"
