Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 143 Eating and Shopping

There is a large shopping mall near where Li Lin lives, and there is a particularly delicious hot pot restaurant there.

Chen Zhiyao hadn't eaten hotpot for a while since she returned home, so she was quite craving for it.

So the three sisters decided to go eat hotpot.

Before going out, Li Lin first got a number online, and then the sisters went straight to the hot pot restaurant, chatting and laughing all the way.

Although it's already past 8 o'clock, tomorrow is a holiday, so there are a lot of people in the hot pot restaurant, and there are still quite a few people queuing outside.

The three sisters sat at the door of the hot pot restaurant, chatting about their recent lives while waiting for a table.

Chen Zhiyao took a bite of the snacks provided by the hot pot restaurant and said to the two sisters in high spirits:

"I'm going to buy a boat. From now on, I'll be the Queen of the Sea. I'll protect you guys."

Tang Youyou put one arm around her shoulders and gave her a thumbs up with the other hand.

"Of course. I said I would go home and get a driver's license, but I didn't expect to become a captain in the end."

Li Lin also came over with a smile, "Captain Tangtang, when will you take us out to sea for a ride?"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhiyao glared at the two bad friends beside her with dissatisfaction.

"How dare you say that? I asked you guys to come over when I rented the boat before, but one of you had to accompany your boyfriend and the other was working overtime every day, so no one paid any attention to me."

After saying this, he glanced at Tang Youyou, who forgot her friends for the sake of beauty.

As the only one among the three sisters who had a boyfriend, Tang Youyou felt somewhat guilty. She stuffed a piece of potato chips into Chen Zhiyao's mouth with a flattering look on her face:

"When you buy a boat and become the captain, we will definitely go there."

"That's right, we will definitely go there when you buy a boat, and then we will go surfing in the sea."

Li Lin didn't know how much she wanted to go to the beach, but she couldn't just ignore this crappy class as she still had to earn some money.

She sighed in her heart: Alas, life is not easy.

Tang Youyou looked at her friend and asked, "By the way, Tangtang, how big a boat do you want to buy? Is it the small boat you rented before, or the big boat for ocean voyages?"

Chen Zhiyao shrugged. "I don't know yet. I originally wanted to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy the boat I rented before as a temporary solution."

"Now that my dad and grandpa are going out to sea with me, it has become a partnership between the three of us to buy a boat. I will leave this matter to my parents."

"The small boat you rented before is also pretty good. A few tens of thousands of dollars is equivalent to the cost of renting a boat for a year. You can save some money in two or three years and buy a big boat later."

Li Lin is a strict and conservative person, and does not agree to spend a lot of money to buy a big ship all at once.

"I think it's better to do it in one go and buy a big ship directly, so as to avoid having to change ships later." Tang Youyou comes from a better-off family and is more generous and straightforward in her dealings with people.

Seeing the two sisters getting more and more excited, Chen Zhiyao felt overwhelmed.

"My grandpa and dad want to buy a big boat, and my grandma and mom want to buy a small boat. Now the two groups are arguing fiercely. You guys should stop making trouble for me."

Because of the issue of buying a boat, the family had argued several times, and everyone wanted to get Chen Zhiyao to make the decision.

But she is in a completely rotten state. The previous 7.8-meter small boat can also be used, and the big ship is also good for going to the ocean.

She was also conflicted in her mind, so the matter came to a standstill.

Seeing that the two sisters were about to quarrel over whether to buy a big boat or a small boat, Chen Zhiyao quickly separated them.

Just then, it was finally their turn. Chen Zhiyao quickly pulled the two of them to catch up with the young lady in front.

Although there were only three of us, the three sisters were big eaters and ordered a table full of dishes.

However, the three of them still overestimated themselves and almost ate too much.

After dinner, the three of them strolled leisurely in the mall.

There happened to be several shops selling gold jewelry on the first floor, and Chen Zhiyao enthusiastically dragged her two friends to look at gold bracelets.

She came to Guangzhou this time with a mission, in addition to checking out the hotel, she also wanted to buy gold bracelets for her mother and grandmother.

Chen Zhiyao had never learned about the price of gold before, and she planned to use the 12,000 yuan she earned from selling Melo Pearls to buy two gold bracelets.

I didn't expect that when I got to the mall, any small bracelet would cost more than 1 yuan, and the better ones would cost 2 yuan.

The salesgirl next to her saw her distressed face and said to her enthusiastically:

"There is a promotion in the store on New Year's Day. Buy two and you can get 8.8% off."

When she heard about the discount, Chen Zhiyao's eyes lit up and her heart was beating like crazy.

Thinking about her recent income, Chen Zhiyao gritted her teeth and picked out two large, glittering gold bracelets.

Chen Zhiyao is a master at keeping balance. She deliberately picked two gold bracelets of the same style, but the carvings on them are slightly different.

The ones chosen for Grandma Chen should be more simple and elegant, which is very suitable for her gentle and quiet temperament.

The bracelet I chose for my mother has more fashionable and stylish carvings on it.

After the discount, the two gold bracelets cost 35,000, which made Chen Zhiyao feel very distressed.

Money is really hard to spend. Just half a month's salary is gone like this.

After buying the bracelets, the three sisters each chose a pair of pearl earrings.

The three of them put on the same pearl earrings, held hands, and continued shopping in the mall.

While queuing to buy milk tea, Tang Youyou suddenly asked:

"Tangtang, can I pick up pearl oysters with pearls on the beach?"

"The beach is mostly filled with small shells like clams and white mussels. As for pearl oysters, you probably have to go to the sea to fish them out."

At this point, she realized that she seemed to have never seen a pearl oyster before, and wondered if she could catch a few from the sea to play with in the future.

After buying milk tea, the three sisters went to look at clothes and bags.

When they returned home, the three of them carried large and small bags of things.

The three of them didn't feel tired at all while shopping, but once they got home they felt as if all their strength had been drained out.

The three sisters huddled together on the small sofa in an untidy manner, not wanting to move at all.

New Year's Day plus the weekend make for exactly three days of holidays.

During these three days, Chen Zhiyao ate and drank with her two good friends every day, and her life was very comfortable.

At this time, the Chen family was busy inquiring about nearby fishing boats, not only those from Baisha Village, but also Chen Weiqiang and Grandpa Chen from several neighboring villages.

The father and son also went to the shipyard and looked at several new ships.

Small boats are cheap but not durable, large ships can sail across the ocean but are expensive and carry great risks.

Used boats are affordable and have a high cost-performance ratio. Although buying a boat is quite stressful, it has almost no impact on family life.

However, the cost of maintaining a small boat is relatively high, and you will need to replace the boat after two or three years.

A new boat is definitely more comfortable to use, but it is expensive.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Several people were dazzled by the sight and lost a lot of hair.

Yan Shuting saw that her daughter had become a hands-off boss, and spent the whole day shopping, eating, drinking and having fun.

She made up her mind and didn't care anymore. She decided to give the choice to the girl and let her choose for herself.
