Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Big Yellow Croaker That Caused a Sensation
The wind was blowing more violently than before going to sea.
Lei Huanxi did not return to the Wanghai Hotel, but found a small hotel again.
When the seawater was poured into the basin from the plastic bag, the big yellow croaker was still alive, which was an incredible miracle.
It must be taken off as soon as possible, this is not just a wild big yellow croaker, this is real gold.
After a break, he put the big yellow croaker back in a plastic bag, and then hurried out of the hotel.
bought a basin on the street, and then Lei Huanxi started his own money-making plan.
In the most prosperous city center of Haishan City, two of the most luxurious restaurants surrounded by the sea live side by side.
One of these two restaurants is called "Haitian Yise" and the other is called "Tinghailou", both of which are among the best hotels in Haishan City.
During the peak tourist season, the competition between the two hotels is simply fierce. At present, although it is in the off-season, the big screen at the entrance of the restaurant is still working hard to advertise.
The waiters of the two hotels, under the leadership of each other's catering managers, worked hard to hand out discounted flyers to the few pedestrians.
Lei Huanxi also received one.
He squatted down in the aisle between the two hotels, took out the basin, poured the large yellow croaker from the plastic bag into the basin, and looked at the leaflet silently.
"Big discount, the original price is 3888 yuan luxury seafood banquet, now it is only 3088 yuan ......"
"Celebrate the third anniversary of the establishment of Haitian Yise, launch a special thanksgiving banquet, only 3088 yuan ......"
The price is the same? Look at the menu, even the menu is similar, could it be that these two restaurants have negotiated it?
At first, Lei Huanxi didn't attract anyone's attention.
Some fishermen often do this, take a basin, put some seafood on it, hope to attract business, and then exchange it for some wine money.
It's just that the young man is a little younger, and he doesn't dress like a fisherman.
What's more, he doesn't solicit business yet.
Think about it, it's not the fishing season, what good goods can be?
However, the young man neither solicited business nor left, and finally aroused the curiosity of the catering manager of Tingyulou Hotel. Look at the sparse pedestrians, thinking that there is nothing to do anyway, and it would be good to see what the young man is selling.
I walked up to the young man, just glanced at it, and then called out "ah".
As soon as he called this, it immediately aroused the curiosity of the manager of Haitian Yishi. These two restaurants have always been competing, and they are extremely concerned about each other's every move, and when they heard this, they hurriedly walked over.
After a moment, she also called out "ah".
"Young man, what are you selling?" asked the two managers, a man and a woman, very tacitly.
Lei Huanxi looked up at them: "Didn't you open a hotel?
Is this a big yellow croaker?
They have been doing hotels for a long time, how can the big yellow croaker not know each other?
But the question is, is this really a big yellow croaker?
A big yellow croaker weighing fifteen or sixteen pounds?
That's all, the bigger question is:
This big yellow croaker is still alive?
Was it because the wind was blowing so hard that they were hallucinating?
Listening to the manager of Yulou, he reacted the fastest, and whispered to the waiter next to him: "Quick, go and invite Mr. Gu." ”
Although the voice was low, it was still heard by the manager of Haitian Yise: "Hurry up, go and invite Mr. Xu." ”
"Young man, go outside and sit in the rain building. The manager of Tingyulou decided that no matter whether the big yellow croaker was real or fake, he must at least pull the young man to his hotel.
"Let's go to our sea and sky, we have a good environment there. ”
"That's what I saw first. ”
"What did you see first? Could it be that he is a relative of yours?"
Seeing that the two managers were arguing there, Lei Huanxi didn't speak, and continued to study the two restaurant flyers with relish.
Well, it turns out that Aolong can still do this...... The picture of the pike crab still looks quite appetizing......
He didn't care about two noisy managers at all.
They are really, and they can't be the masters.
After a while, I saw a fat man and a tall man hurriedly coming out of their respective hotels, this is probably Mr. Gu and Mr. Xu, right?
"Little brother, hello, I'm the boss of Tingyu Building. "Da Gao is tall, big steps, three steps and two steps came to Lei Huanxi, and a business card has been handed over.
Listen to Gu Feibo, general manager of Yulou.
This name is very nice, much better than his own Lei Huanxi.
"Little brother, I am the boss of Haitian Yise. Another business card was handed over.
Xu Yongzhong, general manager of Haitian Yise. Well, that's a bit of a meaning.
"Smoking. "A Chinese hand came up.
"Smoking. Xu Yongzhong handed over a cigarette without giving in.
Zhonghua Yanlei was happy to know him, but it was the first time he had seen Xu Yongzhong's cigarettes: "What kind of smoke is this?"
"Cordyceps, a hundred yuan a pack. Xu Yongzhong glanced at the China in Gu Feibo's hand with the eyes of a victor, and said ostentatiously.
Lei Huanxi stuck out his tongue.
Good guys, a pack of cigarettes for a hundred dollars, they can really buy it: "I don't smoke." ”
"Go to my place for some tea, I have good tea. Gu Feibo said, his eyes kept looking into the basin.
Surprised and bewildered.
I have been working in the catering industry for 20 years, but I have never seen such a big yellow croaker, and it is still a live big yellow croaker!
"Go to me, go to me. Xu Yongzhong's eyes never left the big yellow croaker for a moment.
Oh my God, what kind of fish is this?
I heard the waiter say just now, and I thought he was joking with himself. Fifteen or sixteen pounds of live big yellow croaker?
Talking in your dreams in broad daylight, right?
But now that he saw it with his own eyes, he began to wonder if he was dreaming there.
Whether it's true or not, at least keep this guy first, and don't give your competitors any chance.
Seeing that the two bosses were about to quarrel with their catering manager, Lei smiled and said, "I'm not going anywhere, right here, I have to sell fish." ”
The two bosses didn't say much.
They no longer continued to argue, nor did they look ready to buy, but just stood there, staring intently at the "big yellow croaker" swimming freely in the basin.
From time to time, he would raise his head and look into the distance, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
Lei Huanxi was not in a hurry.
He knew who they were waiting for. A big yellow croaker that they have never heard of, but I am afraid that these two CEOs are not sure whether it is true or fake, and they must ask experts in this area to take a look.
And it can't be an average insider.
After about 15 minutes, a sedan stopped, and then the driver respectfully invited an elderly man out of the car.
"Mr. Xu, did you invite Old Man Cui?"
Xu Yongzhong looked at the other party with a smile: "I don't invite Old Man Cui, don't you want to invite too? ”
No one knows the name of the old man Cui, a lonely old man, 75 today, has been fishing since he was a child, and he has stopped going to sea recently.
But no matter what strange fish is, as long as it passes through his eyes, he can accurately call out the name at a glance.
Therefore, in the restaurant of Haishan City, he is often invited out of some rare fish that he is not sure of. As long as he nods his head, the fish can't be wrong.
The two bosses were not far behind, walked quickly to Old Man Cui, and handed over a cigarette on each side.
Old man Cui was also not polite, with one in his ear and one in his hand: "Where's the fish?"
The two bosses pointed at Lei Huanxi at the same time.
Old man Cui came to Lei Huanxi, took out a lighter and was about to light a cigarette, but his movements immediately froze there.
"Lao Cui, you think this fish is real or fake......"
Faced with the questions of the two bosses, Old Man Cui didn't say a word, just stared at the fish in the basin with his eyes.
For more than ten minutes, Old Man Cui's eyes did not blink, and it took a long time before he asked in a trembling voice, "Young man, where did you catch this fish?"
He used a dialect, and Lei Huanxi had to rely on the translation of the person next to him to understand.
Hearing this, he smiled: "I picked it up by the sea." ”
"Old Cui, do you see this fish?" the two bosses asked cautiously.
"I've been fishing all my life, and I've seen thousands of fish, if not thousands. It is said that in the whole seamount, I know many types of fish, and I say second, and no one dares to say first. Old man Cui not only trembled in his voice, but even his hand holding the cigarette trembled: "But it's the first time I've seen such a big, and it's a live wild big yellow croaker." ”
This sentence has proved that Lei Huanxi is selling authentic wild yellow croaker.
Xu Yongzhong still couldn't believe it: "Lao Cui, we all know the yellow croaker, it will die as soon as it is shot." ”
"There are exceptions, and there are exceptions. It took a lot of effort for Old Man Cui to light the cigarette in his hand and take a hard puff, as if to calm his excitement:
"There has long been a story among our fishermen, saying that in the early years, probably in the Ming Dynasty, some fishermen went out to sea, went down in a net, and caught a 12-pound big yellow croaker, and it did not die after coming out of the water, it was alive. Everyone was frightened, and some elderly fishermen said that this was probably an aura, and it might have been sent by the Dragon King.
Fishermen and fishermen all rely on the sea to eat, and they respect the dragon king. If he gets angry, then everyone won't live. Moreover, the big yellow croaker in the early years was not valuable, only the poor ate it, and everyone couldn't commit such a crime against the Dragon King. So this big yellow croaker was not only released back into the sea, but also incense on the seaside, I hope that the old man will not blame the dragon king......"
Old man Cui smoked desperately: "It's not uncommon for the big yellow croaker to be big, and when you get older, you will naturally get bigger." What is rare is that you don't die when you get out of the water. In recent years, it is rare to see wild large yellow croaker, and it is so big. My old Cui was able to see the legendary big yellow croaker with his own eyes, and even if he died immediately, it was worth it. ”
"Little brother, I want 50,000 yuan for this big yellow croaker!"
