There were 68 species of seafood participating in the auction, which shows the prosperity of the Newfoundland fishing grounds, which were at their peak, and if they were at their peak, there was no need for such auctions, because the Newfoundland fishermen at their peak were not short of money.

Of course, there are overlapping species in these marine species, such as cod, Daqin Fishery provides four varieties, and other fisheries also provide cod, the quality is certainly not as good as Daqin Fishery, but the price is lower.

For example, Atlantic cod, the fry in the Daqin Fishery is 20,000 yuan per unit, and an average fry is 2 Canadian dollars. The survival rate of the fry in the fishery is at most 20%, which means that if you want to raise a large fish, you will have to pay 10 Canadian dollars for the cost price alone!

The price given by ordinary fishing grounds is much cheaper, and there is a Atlantic cod called 'Tazel Fishing Ground' in the back, the price is 8,000 yuan per unit, and the starting price difference between the two sides is two and a half times!

Even though the price of the fry in the Daqin Fishery is expensive, it still causes a frenzy of grabbing, which is a treatment that the Tazel Fishery cannot enjoy.

Although fishery farming has a lot to do with water quality and bait, good fry can raise better fish, which is the same as crop sowing.

The Atlantic cod in Daqin Fishery is the best in the North American cod market, and they don't need to raise the same quality of fish, as long as they can reach the 80% standard, they can make a lot of money!

As soon as the voice of the white glove quotation fell, someone immediately raised the comic strip in his hand and shouted: "No. 045, 20500!" ”

"Okay, Mr. 045 bid 20,500 yuan. Is there a gentleman with a higher bid? White Glove asked with a smile.

"No. 112, 21000!"

"Okay. Mr. No. 112 bid 20,100 yuan, please ask ......"

"Number 100. 21500！ This time, the fisherman shouted more actively, directly interrupting the words of the white gloves.

The price started to climb from 20,000 yuan, and after a few rounds it reached 25,000 yuan, and the fishermen were more cautious in their bidding, and they only increased the price by 500 yuan at a time, never more.

Qin Shiou watched with interest the group of fishermen bidding excitedly, he felt that this kind of auction was more interesting, and the world shown by the fishermen was more real, unlike those local tyrants. Throwing money is the same as throwing stones.

The first auction item was coaxed, which was a good start, Matthew Jin had a happy expression on his face, and Qin Daguan felt that the old man had been frowning for half a year, and today it finally eased up.

After reaching 25,000 yuan, the price of the fishermen continued to rise, 26,000 yuan, 280,000 yuan, and finally exceeded 30,000 yuan!

Donald also participated in the bidding, but the price reached 30,000 yuan. He himself was a little late, this is 10,000 tails and 30,000 yuan, and if it is replaced by 50,000 tails, that is 150,000 yuan!

Not every fisherman. They are all Qin local tyrants.

Donald was in a hurry, pulled his friend next to him and said, "Andrew, listen." Five units is a bit much, in fact, 25,000 tails for each of us is enough. So, let's cooperate. How about taking pictures together and then apart? ”

Andrew Tucker didn't hesitate to say, "That's it, man, make a quote!" ”

Verne turned around and said anxiously, "Hey, guys, how about adding me one?" I only need one unit, and each of you has two units. ”

The offer was in full swing, and Donald was in a hurry, so he said, "OK, that's it—hey, we're here, number 022, thirty-four!" ”

Donald's offer was more ruthless, raising the price by a thousand yuan at a time, and the previous fishermen had raised it in units of 500 yuan.

Someone immediately followed, "34500!" ”

Donald shouted in a rough voice: "Number 022, thirty-seven!" ”

This time it was more ruthless, and the price was directly increased by 1,500 yuan.

The fishermen booed dissatisfied, but the price was a bit high, according to the survival ratio of cod, the final fish that could be caught would cost more than 18 yuan at the cost price alone, plus the feed to be fed, the drugs to be applied, and the funds consumed in the process of fishing and freezing, which would add up to 344 yuan.

The retail price of Atlantic cod in the market is now about $30 per pound, and a fish can produce about 10 pounds of meat, which seems to be worth a lot of money, and a fish can be sold for 300 Canadian dollars.

But that is the market price, if it is directly sold to seafood merchants after fishing in the fishing grounds, it is four or five yuan per pound, and a fish can only be sold for forty or fifty yuan, compared with the cost of thirty-four or five yuan, it is not worth the loss.

After Donald quoted the price, the scene sounded the sound of the fishermen's rustling discussion, and the white gloves shouted the price again, and someone continued to quote 37,500 yuan.

But as soon as he quoted, Donald raised the price again: "No. 022, 40,000!" ”

There was a gasp at the scene, and someone turned back to Donald and shouted, "Old Don, are you crazy?" 40,000 units, 5 units is 200,000! You think about it, don't even pay for diesel in the future! ”

Donald raised his middle finger and scolded: "Get out of the way, Chuck, I'm definitely not going to lose money, you guys have a kind of robbery with me, how can Qin's fry lose money?" ”

Verne tugged at Donald's arm and whispered: "Man, you should be cautious about your offer -, we are your partners, not investors, and you will have to spend money in the end, don't you feel distressed?!" ”

Donald pushed him away, saying he had it in mind.

Indeed, no one raised the price again, and the white gloves shouted 40,000 yuan three times in a row, and then dropped the gavel and made a deal!

Then there were several kinds of seafood sold, and the one that came up behind was Qin Shiou's target, a small tongue sole.

The fish is sold in North America and is generally exported to Asia, because the small tongue sole is a little small as its name suggests, with more small spines on its back, so it is difficult to eat with a knife and fork.

However, the meat of this fish is particularly delicate, because of its small size, it has small stomach dirt, and it is suitable for fried fish, and developed Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea and Singapore like to eat this fish.

Now, with the increase of China's national strength and soaring consumption level, it has become popular to eat this fish in China.

Qin Shiou did not raise small tongue sole, which is not an indigenous fish of the North Atlantic, but was introduced from the Pacific Ocean by a fisherman.

The price of fry for this fish is as high as Qin Shiou's Atlantic cod, which is 20,000 yuan per unit.

It's not that this fish is as valuable as Atlantic cod, it's just that it has a high fry yield, and the tongue sole is a bottom-dwelling fish because of its small range and good at concealment, and the probability of predators preying on it is also small.

In addition, the bottom fish also has the advantage that they will not run around often, if the Atlantic cod is not kept in captivity, then scatter 10,000 fry, and tomorrow there will be 2,000 to run to other people's fishing grounds, small tongue soles do not have to worry, they are very homesick.
