When Yang Fan suddenly pulled out a large water bucket without warning, Yang Hongtao was puzzled at first.
But the moment he caught sight of the two massive lobsters inside, his eyes bulged in shock!
"Holy crap! Such huge lobsters!"
"That big one must weigh at least four pounds!"
"Fan, where did you get these?!"
Staring intently at the two lively, wriggling lobsters in the bucket, Yang Hongtao looked utterly stunned—his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Of course I caught them. I went for a swim in the sea just now and happened to spot them wedged in a rock crevice. So, I brought them back,"
Yang Fan chuckled casually as he explained, clearly amused by his friend's shocked expression.
"You caught them while swimming? Where exactly? Fan, hurry, hurry, take me there—maybe there are more lobsters left behind!"
As he spoke, Yang Hongtao reached out impatiently, trying to drag Yang Fan out the door.
"Hell no! If there were more, don't you think I'd have caught them all?"
Yang Fan swatted his hand away with a laugh and a curse.
"True that... Damn! Fan, you lucky bastard! Do you even know how much these two lobsters are worth now?"
Yang Hongtao took a deep breath and stared wide-eyed at Yang Fan.
"I remember lobsters over one pound go for like 300 to 500 yuan per pound, right? These two should fetch several thousand yuan?"
Having been away from the Internet-famous fishing village for a long time, Yang Bro Fannuinely didn't know the current seafood market prices.
"Bullshit! That price is for under-three-pounds ones!"
"Right now, lobsters over three pounds aren't even sold by weight anymore—they're sold per lobster!"
"A few months ago, someone in the neighboring village got crazy stupid luck, just like you. He caught a 3.5-pound Radiant lobster, and it was bought by a top seafood restaurant in the city for 88,000 yuan!"
"That big one in your bucket looks at least four pounds, and the condition is perfect—not a scratch on it. If you put it up for auction, it might easily go for over 100,000 yuan! The other one should fetch tens of thousands too!"
As Yang Hongtao spoke, he couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
This guy seriously had stupid luck—just came back to the village and went for a swim, and ended up with two lobsters this size?!
Damn it!
The heavens really aren't fair!
He himself busted his butt fishing with his Trawler, waking up early every day and working into the night—barely earning much in a whole year.
And this guy just got back to the village for a day and already made more than he earns in a year!
"What? They're worth that much now? A single one could sell for 100,000?"
Hearing this, even Yang Fan was startled.
He knew big lobsters were valuable—but he didn't realize they were this valuable.
If a single lobster could fetch 100,000, then if he went Beachcombing and caught 80 to 100 of them, wouldn't he instantly become a millionaire?
Good thing he didn't say that out loud, or Yang Hongtao might've spat blood on the spot.
Damn it!
Lobsters of this size are rare treasures, not cabbages you just pick off the beach!
And this guy wants to catch dozens?
"Of course they're expensive. There are tons of rich people nowadays, and Chinese love face and extravagance. A Radiant lobster this size, if served in a lobster banquet at a luxury seafood restaurant—that's the pinnacle of class!"
Yang Hongtao immediately suggested, "Fan, how about I help you contact a few top seafood restaurants in the city? While these lobsters are still alive and kicking, let's get the best price. If they die, we'll lose a fortune!"
Yang Fan thought it over and nodded with a grin. "Sure. I was originally planning to eat them for dinner. But if they're worth this much, might as well sell them. No point blowing twenty grand on one meal."
Just as Yang Hongtao said—
Lobsters this size are valuable purely because of the face value they bring to a lobster banquet.
In short, they're tools for rich folks to show off.
Yang Fan had no desire to show off—so why not sell them and get the money?
If they were only worth a few thousand yuan, he'd have cooked and eaten both without hesitation.
But since they were worth tens of thousands, selling was clearly the smarter move.
"Alright, I'll make the calls right now!"
With that, Yang Hongtao whipped out his phone and made several calls.
As one of the top young fishermen in Big Whale Village, he'd occasionally land a Giant grouper or two and had built strong ties with several high-end seafood restaurant buyers.
After a few calls, the moment they heard he had two lobsters over three pounds, all the restaurant managers on the other end were beyond excited.
They insisted on meeting at the Seafood Exchange Pier in the city to check the goods in person!
And the reason Yang Hongtao called multiple restaurants was simple—
He wanted bidding competition to drive up the price of the two lobsters!
"Fan, all set. Let's hurry to the Seafood Exchange Pier in the city. The fresher and livelier they are, the higher the price we'll get!"
After hanging up, Yang Hongtao looked anxious and ready to go.
Seeing him in such a rush, Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh.
This guy was more nervous than the actual owner—he was more worried the lobsters might die and drop in value.
But then again, this was a six-figure deal. Yang Fan couldn't afford to slack either.
Even though he'd just gotten home and didn't really feel like heading out again, who would say no to easy money?
Plus, he was planning to hit the mall to buy new bedding and daily essentials anyway—might as well take a trip to the city.
"Alright, let's go."
"Let's do it!"
