Upon hearing this, Deng Chao realized that they had the idea of ​​acquiring the crabs, so he immediately smiled and led Wang Mian to carry a basket of crabs, while the older woman and her son also carried a basket.

"This is really fresh, big sister," Deng Chao said as he walked.

The older sister chuckled and said, "Yes, it's really fresh."

A few steps away, Deng Chao and his group arrived at the entrance of a small seafood restaurant. The woman's son said, "Well, let's take a look at the goods first."

Deng Chao confidently replied, "Of course, let's look at the goods first, and everything will be based on the goods."

Wang Mian also said, "We just took these off the ship; they're incredibly fresh."

The eldest sister's son opened the package, took out a crab, and nodded, saying, "It's really good; this crab is very fresh and plump!"

Deng Chao and Wang Mian exchanged a smile, the former pointing to his eldest sister and laughing, "Look at my sister's saliva, it's absolutely delicious!"

Wang Mian: "This is absolutely good, trust us."

The older woman examined the crabs, picked out a plump one, and gave it a thumbs up: "This is excellent! A genuine local Zhoushan crab!"

Her eyes were filled with greed; clearly, the two baskets of fresh, plump crabs were tempting her.

That's for sure. The boss gave Deng Chao two baskets of the best crabs, which are naturally different from what small seafood shops like theirs can buy.

The older woman asked, "How much is it per pound?"

The others also looked at Deng Chao.

Wang Mian asked, "Brother Chao, how much did you say per pound back then?"

Deng Chao was also a bit confused. He only knew that these two baskets of crabs could easily sell for at least three thousand, but he really didn't know how much they would sell for per pound.

After thinking for a moment, Deng Chao then said with an awkward laugh, "How about this, you give us a price based on your conscience, we don't really know much about this."

Honestly? Brother Chao, they're businessmen.

No business is without its deceit!

Wang Mian's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Deng Chao and said jokingly, "Um...this is our first time here, don't try to trick us, big sister."

But he had no choice but to make a joke.

Upon hearing this, the older sister and her son exchanged a glance, each having already made up their minds.

The older sister chuckled and said, "Let's be down-to-earth and not bother with all that fancy stuff."

Her son said earnestly, "Well, let's make it 24 per catty. There are some dead ones in this basket, and we need to separate the males from the females. This price is already very reasonable."

Upon hearing this, both Deng Chao and Wang Mian were stunned.

The older sister added, "Dead things can't be bought for this price; dead things are meant to be thrown away."

Deng Chao didn't really understand either. He looked at the two baskets of crabs and seemed to think there was some truth to it, but Wang Mian next to him was a little anxious.

He quickly stopped Deng Chao, who seemed about to agree, and whispered, "Brother Chao, didn't the crab boss say that these two baskets would cost at least three thousand yuan? And he'll definitely give you the best of the boat, not the ordinary stuff. He'll give you the best no matter what, because of you."

It must be said that Wang Mian was indeed a clever little devil.

Crab boss?

Deng Chao listened to his words and immediately felt that they made some sense, so he hesitated and did not directly agree to his elder sister and her son's request.

Upon seeing this, the two older sisters felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that their plans had changed.

So the older woman said, "Let's do it for face. You're all big stars, while we crab sellers have been losing money for years."

Alright, alright, seeing things were going badly, they immediately seized the moral high ground.

Wang Mian couldn't help but turn around and roll his eyes.

Deng Chao was also a little embarrassed. He had always been a very good person, kind to others, and didn't like to take advantage of others. After being spoken to like that by his older sister, he felt a little awkward.

"That won't do, sister. We can't afford to give them face."

At this moment, a cheerful voice came from behind Deng Chao and the other two. Everyone looked over and saw that it was the cunning and shrewd Huang Bo.

Huang Bo walked over, looked at the older woman who seemed a little unhappy, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't talk about celebrities or anything like that. We're just ordinary people. These two baskets of crabs were borrowed from the crab vendor, and we have to pay back the principal. How much per pound do you think we should pay?"

Seeing Huang Bo's calm and collected demeanor, the older sister and her son immediately realized that he was not someone to be fooled. They exchanged glances, and the older sister's son pretended to be helpless, saying, "How about this, I'll raise the price by one yuan, to twenty-five yuan per jin. That's already quite high; any higher and we won't make any money."

The older woman said, "Yes, there are very few crabs this year, and we vendors really aren't making any money."

Huang Bo grinned and said, "Big sister, you said it yourself, there are very few crabs this year, but I've looked at these two baskets of crabs, and they're almost all females, with very few dead ones. You're selling them to us for twenty-five, isn't that a bit hard to believe?"

Although Deng Chao didn't understand crabs, he understood and trusted Huang Bo. So he looked at the two women whose expressions had changed slightly and made a plan in his mind.

So he chuckled and said, "Big sister, it seems we're not destined to do business together. Perhaps we'll meet again someday."

After saying that, Deng Chao gestured to Wang Mian and Huang Bo, and then called another member of the production crew to help carry the two baskets of crabs away, leaving only the older sister and her son with a face full of resentment.

It must be said that Deng Chao was still a decent person and did not immediately change his attitude.

People around them pointed and whispered about the two women, which angered the older woman, whose face darkened and whose brows were furious.

"What are you looking at! Everyone, disperse!"

After saying that, the older woman stormed back into the shop, clearly angry.

However, it didn't matter that Deng Chao and the others were there. Under Huang Bo's guidance, the group arrived at a larger seafood restaurant, where a slightly overweight middle-aged man was sitting.

Seeing Huang Bo return, she quickly walked over and exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher Huang Bo, you really brought two baskets of crabs?"

Huang Bo straightened up, pointed to the two baskets of crabs, and said with a smile, "Of course, if I hadn't arrived in time, these two baskets of excellent crabs would have been sold by that idiot Twenty-Five."

Deng Chao smiled somewhat awkwardly, while Wang Mian didn't seem to mind.

The fat boss nodded to Deng Chao and Wang Mian, then squatted down, opened the basket, and rummaged through the crabs inside. He found that, just as Huang Bo had said, each one was plump and delicious, and most of them were female crabs.

He then said with a smile, "It's definitely good stuff. Let's stick to what we agreed on with Mr. Huang Bo before, and since I'm a fan of yours, how about forty pounds?"

"forty!?"

Deng Chao was immediately shocked; he had almost sold it at twenty-four!

This is a loss of more than half!

Wang Mian was also filled with relief.

Upon hearing this, Huang Bo looked at Deng Chao and asked, "Chao'er, what do you think? I think this boss is quite sincere, after all, we're selling in bulk, not retail..."

"Great! Absolutely fantastic! It'll be a pleasure working with you!"

(I'm not really sure how much crabs are going for, but forty is probably quite a lot, right?)
