After an authentic Japanese-style seafood dinner, Qin Shiou returned to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow's auction.

The auction was held at half past eight in the morning, and before dawn Qin Shiou was called by Kota Tezuka, and when he got out of the hotel, Nishimura Ryoshi drove over to pick them up.

Looking at the neatly dressed and meticulously dressed Nishimura Ling, Qin Shiou secretly sighed, Damn's work in Tokyo is just a matter of life, don't look at him being able to get up at six o'clock in the morning to run and exercise, but if he wants to work at such a high intensity, he will definitely not be able to stand it.

When I went to Tsukiji Market, the East was lit up, and the paper lanterns of Inawa Shrine swayed in the wind, emitting a white glow.

Nishimura Ling introduced to Qin Shiou, saying that these lanterns are particular, and the lantern with whose name is written on it is lit, indicating that the family is working in the market today, and if it is extinguished, it means that they have no seafood for sale today.

Qin Shiou remembered Butler's words and said in surprise: "Isn't that why there must be more than 800 lanterns outside the market?" ”

He remembers that there were eight seafood merchants and more than 800 middlemen in Tsukiji Market.

Nishimura Ling smiled and said, "Qin Sang, you guessed wrong, in fact, there are one thousand and sixty-two lanterns here. In addition to the seafood merchants, there are also vegetable and fruit merchants, and they also have lanterns here. ”

Nelson and Bird marvel that there is no such farmer's market in St. John's.

At the end of the introduction, Nishimura said proudly: "The longer the lantern is lit continuously, the more seafood there is and the longer the continuous stall time." Up to now, the lanterns of Kiyomura Co., Ltd. have been lit up for 4,228 days and nights! ”

entered the market. Many stall vendors sell breakfast, and the target is the seafood vendors and housewives who come to the market early.

As far as Qin Shiou could see, there were stalls such as takoyaki, soba noodles, tempura, dorayaki, and Nagasaki cakes in many places. It's the same as the morning market.

The auction of bluefin tuna was near the Shengqiao Gate of the market, and the area had been emptied before, and Qin Shiou and his party walked over and saw all the bluefin tuna.

At least tens of thousands of square meters of territory, there are countless bluefin tuna, Qin Shiou roughly estimated, there may be a thousand!

Here it is. to understand where so many bluefin tuna caught at sea go every year!

Qin Shiou sighed: "This scale is really big. ”

Nishimura said proudly: "Qin Sang, it's not me boasting. This is the largest tuna auction market in the world! And this is not the largest, today the auction is all fresh tuna, the quantity is relatively small. The tuna auction, held every year on the sixth day of the new year, is the biggest because that's when the frozen tuna has been accumulated for a month or two. For example, at this year's New Year auction, a total of 2,842 bluefin tuna with a total of 18.52 tons were auctioned! ”

Katsukudo Gate is the largest entrance to Tsukiji Market, adjacent to Katsukubashi Bridge, and near the market are the "Fish Popularization Center Museum", "Tsukiji Market Welfare Center", and "Katsukubashi Museum".

Nishimura Ling introduced to Qin Shiou that the so-called these museums are actually tourist centers, except for accepting 140 tourists at 4 o'clock in the morning every day, the market is not allowed to enter the market at other times. Visitors come to the museum to watch and take pictures.

Following Nishimura Ridge for a simple turn, Takatsuka Kota, who was wearing blue overalls and water boots, hurried over and bowed first when he saw Qin Shiou. said: "I'm sorry, Qin Sang, I can't take care of it!" There are a lot of fish in our club today, so I have to personally lead the team to check, I hope you will bear with me! ”

"The president is so polite. You should be busy first, Mr. Nishimura is very hospitable. I learned a lot from him, he was such a good young man. Qin Shiou hurriedly said, for this guy's politeness, he has always been absolutely wrong, there is a conspiracy.

When Takata Tezuka heard him say this, he smiled at Nishimura Ling and said approvingly: "Nishimura-kun is an excellent newcomer cultivated by our club, and it is great that he can satisfy Qin Sang." Tomorrow I will prepare a family banquet at home to entertain Qin Sang and Butlersan, and then Nishimura-kun will also come. ”

As soon as he heard this, Nishimura suddenly became excited, put his hands on the edge of his trousers, and suddenly bowed ninety degrees like a folded paper, and shouted: "Hai, president, Nishimura is very grateful for your appreciation!" ”

Tezuka Kota patted Nishimura on the shoulder and left in a hurry with a group of subordinates, literally trotting.

Nishimura Ridge, who was patted on the shoulder by Takita Kota, was full of excitement, he turned around and bowed to Qin Shiou again, and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Qin San, Nishimura is grateful!" ”

Qin Shiou smiled bitterly, you have to get it, don't be so polite, you bow back and forth like this, can you still play happily together in the future?

The tuna auction officially starts at half past five, and now is the busiest time, when market workers are busy labeling the tuna and buyers who are ready to bid are busy checking the meat quality of the tuna they are interested in.

More than 1,000 tuna are enough for buyers to keep busy, but most buyers don't look at every fish, and the difference in the meat quality of tuna is not so big, and they have to pay attention to the fish they are particularly interested in, such as tuna.

There is no doubt that the Golden Gun Overlord is the absolute protagonist of this auction, and it can even be said that it is the protagonist of the auction regardless of the year in which it is placed.

In order to protect the fish, the market sent two young and strong security guards, who stood next to the fish with their backs and their hands behind their backs, and they would stop anyone who wanted to touch the fish. In addition, if someone stays here for a long time, they will also reach out and ask them to leave.

The tail and fins of the tuna to be auctioned have been cut off, so it is enough to see the quality of the meat from these places, but only the tuna are not allowed to touch it, and the other fish are free to watch.

Although there are many tuna here, there are not many bidders, and the bidders are all first-class agents of the fish market.

They send capable people to form a team of fish-examiners, often the most experienced tunamen, such as the leader of the Kiyo Village Co., Ltd., who is an old man in his seventies.

Nishimura Ling prepared a small hook and a flashlight, Qin Shiou saw that this was the standard configuration of the fish inspection personnel, and he also followed along, and the connoisseur watched the doorway.

But soon he was an impostor, because he was a layman in the posture of inspecting the fish, and immediately a security guard came to ask him to leave, and there were several rules in the Tsukiji Market, the first of which was that non-bidders and VIPs could not touch the fish.

When the security guard was about to drive people away, Nishimura Ling put away his humility when facing Qin Shiou and Tezuka Kota, and he glared at the security guard and shouted, "Yaga! This is our honored guest of Kiyomura Co., Ltd., and a friend of President Tezuka, how dare you drive him away? Don't want to work here? ”

The security guard bowed again and again after reading Nishimura Ryo's work card, Winnie pulled Nishimura Ryo and said forget it's nothing, and the security guard wiped his cold sweat and left. (To be continued)
