Chapter 335: Fish Market
A day later, Rowe arrived in the coastal town of Grey Harbour first, and the time given by King was three days, but Rowe arrived in Grey Harbour two days early. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the coastal towns rely on fishing as their main source of income, and the same is true of Port Grey, which is famous for its fish market.
Every Sunday, fishing boats return to the port to unload the week's harvest to the market not far from the port.
Regular seafood is set at the regular price, while special seafood is auctioned at zero starting price, which is the Fish Market in Port Grey, which is only open once a week.
Special seafood is basically a rare thing for fishermen, and it is usually a seafood treasure that can be included in the hierarchy, and I wonder if it is because the fishermen of Port Gray are favored by the sea god and can catch some strange seafood every week.
Because of the pomp and circumstance created by the "fish market", on Sundays, Grey Harbour will be flooded with a large number of outsiders, all of whom come for special seafood.
More than half of these outsiders are from well-known restaurants or hotels from other places, and some wealthy people who like food have assigned their subordinates to try their luck.
Although it is a fair bid, in the eyes of local restaurants, this group of outsiders is still positioned as predators.
Luo came to Grey Harbour this day, just in time for the opening of the [Fish Market], so he went over to join in the fun.
The layout of the fish market resembles a large-scale job fair, with simple-looking sheds arranged in a neat and orderly manner.
Unlike ordinary markets, the fish market is large enough to cover an area and the roads between the sheds are wide enough, as if designed to accommodate a lot of talent.
If it is only open once a week, it will give people a sense of waste, which is equivalent to using such a large area only four times a month, but the fish market does have this capital, and every time it opens, there will be a large amount of income.
Walking into the fish market, there are many people, mostly the sound of customers talking with the vendors, and there are also a lot of sighs, and thanks to the wide enough passage, although there are many people coming and going, it will not seem crowded.
Luo was wearing a straw hat with dirt on his head, a short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, boxers on his bottom, and a pair of flip-flops, and a silver-eyed black cat sitting on his shoulder.
Along the way, I saw more than 100 kinds of seafood, and this is only the result of a short period of time, and I don't know how many kinds of seafood there will be in this huge fish market.
"How many fish will I buy for you?" said Rowe as he walked.
The black cat tilted his head and snorted, "That's all this?"
"Can you afford it?" said Law, sneering.
The black cat's face was stunned, and he stopped talking.
Although there are many kinds of seafood on the fish market stalls, it is not what Luo wants, and after a while, he went straight to the auction hall in the center of the fish market, where is the big head.
One of the most famous features of the fish market is that it is large enough to be an auction venue, but even if it is large enough, it is always crowded with people whenever the fish market is open.
Most people come to the fish market in Port Grey for the prized ingredients that can be classified, and sometimes with a bit of luck, they can come across seafood that they have never seen before.
"There are so many people. ”
Luo barely squeezed into the venue, only to see that the seats in the venue were already full, while the others were standing, almost filling the entire venue.
Before entering the venue, you must pay 1,000 rings in exchange for a numbered plate, and after the auction is over, you can return the money with the brand.
The brand number Luo got was 42666, and he just held up the sign before bidding.
Because the special seafood is different every time, the fish market auction is not like a regular auction, where participants are given an auction book in advance, and no one knows what the good things of the day will be until the auction items are presented.
There were still about twenty minutes before the auction began, and Law began to squeeze forward in order to get a little ahead, and the black cat guy, seeing that Luo wanted to make canned sardines, slipped back into the tattoo.
There was a huge LCD screen on the auction table and a loudspeaker that everyone in the room could hear, but there were still many people who, like Luo, wanted to squeeze into the front row.
In the process of tossing through the crowd, Law accidentally knocked over a little girl.
Luo was about to apologize, but saw the little girl get up quickly and said angrily to Luo, "Don't you have long eyes?"
As she spoke, the little girl glared at Luo viciously, without giving Luo a chance to speak, and used her hands to push away the people in front of her and walked towards the direction of the auction table.
Luo raised his finger to the edge of a straw hat, looked at the direction in which the little girl disappeared, and smiled helplessly.
The little girl looked to be only in her teens, and the number plate was inserted in the clothes behind her, and the number plate was just hanging above the back of her head.
This little kid is also coming to join in the fun?
Luo shook his head, but he didn't know that the age of his current body was also among the underages.
It took a lot of effort to finally squeeze in front, and offended many people along the way, but seeing that Luo was very young, he didn't care about it.
The auction table is a huge stage, more than one meter, and there is only one podium on the stage, on which there is no auction-specific wooden hammer, only a microphone.
There was a display screen hanging above the stage, and on the left and right sides were the stereos, and a middle-aged bearded man in a suit walked out of the backstage, Shi Shiran came to the podium and said, "Welcome guests." ”
Start with the usual opening sentence, and then cut straight to the point.
"In today's auction, there are a few very special seafood, and everyone who can come to the scene must know very well that the fish market has always been in addition to the highest price, there is another special case, that is, the high skill. ”
"Without further ado, let's start with the first special auction item, the Thorn Dolphin!"
As soon as the bearded man's voice fell, a staff member pushed out ten cars, each of which was piled with a large amount of ice, and on the ice was placed a spherical creature full of four-foot-long spikes, which was the spiny dolphin.
"I had excellent luck this week, I caught the 'tide' and caught ten dolphins at once!"
"That's right, this is the dolphin, known as one of the treasures of the deep sea, but the dolphin is highly poisonous, if you want to eat it, you have to remove the poison bag from the body, which requires a high and stable skill, if the poison bag fails, the whole body of the dolphin will be covered with poison in an instant. ”
"There are ten thorn dolphins here, and according to the rules of the most skilled person, if any of the guests present can successfully remove the poison bag, they will get half of the profit of the ten thorn dolphins, otherwise, if they fail, they will have to buy the thorn dolphin at the price of the failed product. ”
The bearded man smiled decently, looked around at the guests, and said, "Please think about it carefully before choosing whether to try it on stage." ”
"I'm coming!"
At this time, a crisp and immature female voice came out from the audience, and following the voice, it was a teenage girl, squeezing out of the crowd, like a kitten, jumping over the railing set up and walking down the stairs to the stage.
The audience looked at this little girl with pink hair, and suddenly the audience was silent, not only the other party's behavior exceeded everyone's expectations, but the auction card marked with the number was inserted behind him, and he stood on the stage at this time, as if he had become one of the auction items.
"It's her, didn't she hear the rules clearly?"
Luo looked at the little girl on the stage with a look of surprise.
