Chapter 6 Expensive Large Yellow Croaker
Dongling Fish Market is a small fish market located in the East China Sea.Although there are not many people in the town, the seafood trade here is extremely busy.From morning to night, you can see fishing boats of all sizes entering and leaving the town.

For many people who live inland, if they want to eat authentic and fresh seafood, Dongling is the best choice.The seafood traded here every day will then be shipped to major inland cities for sales as quickly as possible.

Xu Licheng, who used to like to go to the morning market, only caught a net of fish today, and went straight to Dongling Fish Market without even returning home.Even if the fish market at noon seems relatively deserted, there are still fishmongers collecting fish here.

Many fishmongers even stay at the pier all day long, and when they see fishing boats docking, they will squeeze over to look at the fish.If there is any good quality fish, these fishmongers can also negotiate the price on the spot, and pull the fish that the fishermen have just caught into the cold storage to keep fresh.

As soon as the fishing boat docked, many fishmongers squatting at the pier crowded over.Seeing Xu Licheng who came ashore, a fisherman soon smiled and said, "Old Xu, why are you here at this time today? Is this fish fresh?"

As fishmongers, these people have practiced a pair of sharp eyes.From the freshness of the fish, it is possible to judge when the frozen fish were beaten.And Xu Licheng's fish today is undoubtedly very fresh.

"Well, I just cast a net in the morning, and the harvest is not bad. How is it? Everyone, let me give you a real price!"

Although the large yellow croaker has been ordered, there are several hundred catties of various fish left, which still need to be sold.For Xu Licheng, the opportunity to catch large yellow croakers is rare, but other fisheries still have to be sold.

While Xu Licheng was negotiating prices with the fishmonger, Xu Haibao still stayed on the boat, guarding the big foam box at his feet.Until a big Benz appeared at the pier, and a burly middle-aged man stepped down from it.

Seeing the other party get off the car and look at the fishing boat, Xu Haibao also said at the right time: "Uncle, look at something, I'm going to meet someone. The fish buyer should be here!"

"it is good!"

Perhaps the words of the two seem a little confusing.But seeing the foam box covered with cotton cloth, a fishmonger soon asked, "Old Xu, there is a good product? What is it? Why don't you show it to us?"

"Hey, there are a few good ones, but my nephew has already promised someone. I'm really sorry!"

During this process, Xu Haibao looked at the middle-aged man walking towards him, and also stepped forward with a smile: "Boss Wu?"

"I am! Are you the comrade-in-arms that Xiaocheng said?"

"Yes, I'm Xu Haibao, and the one who's selling fish is my third uncle. Xiaocheng should have told you all about it on the phone, right? How about we look at the fish first and talk about it later?"

"Okay, I'll do as you said! Did you catch this fish with your uncle?"

"Well, luck! I caught it in the first net, and I came to town as soon as I caught it. Boss Wu should know that the fresher the fish, the better the taste. I thought, Xiaocheng's family just happened to open a high-end seafood restaurant. This kind of fish should also be hard to come by.

Their restaurant wanted to buy this fish, and they presumably bought it from these fishmongers.It's not worthwhile to let them earn a piece for nothing, so it's better to sell it to him directly from my side.At least I believe that he should not worry about selling this fish, right? "

"Naturally! This kind of fish has never been worried about no one will eat it. Right now, the high-end seafood market is still in short supply. As the New Year comes, more and more people want to eat this rare fish. To be honest, this kind of fish even me Haven't eaten it a few times!"

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Haibao looked at the fishmongers crowded at the pier, and said at the right time: "Boss Wu, you just wait here! I'll go and bring the fish over, the pier is too small, and it's too fishy! "

"It's okay! I'm not that precious. I'm Xiaocheng's uncle. If you don't mind, you can call me Angkor. I heard from Xiaocheng that you took good care of him when you were in the army!"

"I didn't take care of him too much! I joined the army a few years earlier than him, and I'm a fellow villager and deputy squad leader, so I should take care of him. However, I was a little surprised. Given his family background, how could his family be willing to let him serve as a soldier? "

Chen Xingcheng was the comrade Xu Haibao contacted on the fishing boat earlier.A young man who is obviously rich and can be a rich second generation, but chooses to enlist in the army.Although a little skinny, in Xu Haibao's view, he is still very loyal to him.

As Xu Haibao brought Chen Xingcheng's uncle Wu Simin to the pier, a fishmonger soon asked, "Isn't this Mr. Wu from Dongxing Supermarket! Why did he come here? Could it be that old Xu really got something good!"

During this process, Xu Haibao had already set foot on the fishing boat and carried the foam box covered with cotton cloth to the pier.Seeing this scene, many fishmongers were also curious and crowded around the pier.

When the cotton cloth was opened, four golden yellow croakers, one big and three small, were lying in the foam box. The fishmongers at the scene couldn't help but gasped and said in surprise: "Oh my god! Four big yellow croakers, Lao Xu this time Get rich!"

While listening to the fishmonger's chatter, Wu Simin smiled at the right time and said: "Everyone, I'm sorry! I've already ordered this fish. My sister's family just opened a restaurant, so everyone has enjoyed this fish." That's it."

Following what Wu Simin said, a fishmonger also said at the right time: "Boss Wu, this fish is rare, especially such a big one. You want them all? Why don't you leave the small ones for us and join in the fun?" OK!"

"You are all in the fish business, who would think too much of this fish! Please borrow a scale, let's weigh it, and see how heavy this big one is. You probably haven't seen such a big yellow croaker How many times have you been?"

"I saw it occasionally in the early years, but it has become less and less common in recent years. I didn't expect to see four at once this time! It's rare!"

Even if they are fishmongers who specialize in buying seafood, these fishmongers also know that large yellow croakers are indeed hard to come by these years.Occasionally someone gets a pound or two, and most of them will be sold by auction.

It is naturally not uncommon for things like this to be bought directly by local tyrants with huge sums of money.However, many fishmongers still feel a pity to miss such a good opportunity.But they knew that Wu Simin was also a wealthy local tyrant!

When a fishmonger brought an electronic scale, everyone put the big yellow croaker on it first.Soon the electronic scale showed 2.95.This means that there is no difference in the weight that Xu Haibao estimated earlier, and the fish is almost six catties.

"Wow, a six-pound big yellow croaker, such a rare fish!"

As for the other three large yellow croakers, two weighed three catties, and the only smaller one weighed more than two catties.After weighing all four fish, all the fishmongers also smiled and said: "Old Xu, it seems that you are really going to get rich this time!"

Xu Licheng, who stayed aside with a smile on his face, knew that it would be better to leave this business to his nephew.After all, the amount of money in this business is quite a lot, and he was really afraid of selling it cheaply.

Seeing that the four large yellow croakers had already been weighed, Wu Simin also said at the right time: "If you bid for the big one, how much can you bid at most? For the three small ones, you can also help me to make a price, so I can refer to it. "

Facing Wu Simin's inquiry, a fishmonger soon said, "Boss Wu, you are being unfair! You don't let us bid, and let us bid, it's a bit embarrassing!"

"Chen Datou, do you still want me to buy your goods next time! Be quick, this kid is my nephew's friend. I also bought this fish for my nephew. You give me a real price, so I can give it to you." Fair price!"

After explaining his relationship with Xu Haibao in a timely manner, the fishmonger who was scolded before said: "The market price of three catties of large yellow croaker is about 500 yuan per catty. Now the market is a little bit higher, and it costs more than [-] yuan per catty." almost.

This one weighs almost six catties, and the price is higher.If it's less than [-] catties, I'm probably too embarrassed to speak up.In the case of real auction bidding, it is more than one or two thousand per catty. I think there are still bids.After all, it's almost Chinese New Year! "

After listening to Chen Datou's quotation, many fishmongers nodded and said: "Boss Chen's price is very honest! Even if we sell it to a big hotel, it probably won't be much higher."

With the words of all the fishmongers, Wu Simin thought for a while and said: "Brother Xu, I will buy this big one at [-] catties, which is considered as six catties. For the other three, I will give you seven thousand and eighty catties. You can see it." ?"

Facing Wu Simin's inquiry, Xu Haibao felt that the price was fair, so he turned around and said, "Third Uncle, do you think this price is acceptable?"

"Okay, okay, you can be the master!"

This large yellow croaker can be sold for more than 7 yuan if it weighs six catties.The remaining three smaller ones add up to more than ten catties.The total price is more than 15.Wu Simin still raised the price of the one weighing less than three catties.

After estimating the price, Xu Haibao also said at the right time: "Uncle Wu, if you want to round it up, you can give me 15! If this fish is placed here for auction, it is estimated that the highest price can only be auctioned at this price. I will not suffer, and I will not let it go." You are at a disadvantage!"

"Okay, then do as you said! Transfer or check?"

15 cash, it is still inconvenient to carry much.For big bosses like Wu Simin, transfers and checks are the way they pay for large expenses.

Hearing that Xu Haibao had underpaid thousands of yuan, Xu Licheng was somewhat distressed.But he also understands that the price is already very fair.It is estimated that the fish sold to these fishmongers is less than 15!
After all, he still made a lot of money!With this idea, Xu Licheng also seemed very happy.After all, this windfall like a godsend is enough for him to live a comfortable year this year.What could he be dissatisfied with?
