85_85437 Because the blue marlin was to be sold, the boat did not return to the fishing grounds, but went directly to the port of St. John's.
The major fishing ports on the North American coast are all resident with professional fishing companies, which are not the kind of small workshops that collect seafood casually, but are specialized in purchasing black tuna, yellowfin tuna, halibut, alfon, goldenrod, Atlantic blue marlin, and other valuable fish species.
Although the Port of St. John's is a famous port in North America, due to natural reasons, the fishing grounds here rarely catch precious tuna such as black tuna and yellowfin tuna, so there are only three fishing companies stationed here.
These fishing companies are actually intermediaries, and they are responsible for the air transportation to Tokyo after they buy the precious fish, and the Japanese are the largest consumers of the precious fish.
&】,a√nshu≥ba.nbsp; The Farewell sailed into the harbor, and fishing boats of various lengths were leaning on the pier and moving with the waves.
The sky is bright and most of the fishermen are ready to go, while the boats that do the night fishing return to the port, so this time of day is the busiest time of the day when the harbor fish market is at its busiest.
When he drove to the wharf where the fishing company was located, Qin Shiou heard people constantly asking each other, and the voice was noisy, like a morning market.
"Hi Pearson, how was the harvest today? We caught a batch of mackerel and barely recouped our capital. ”
"Oh, Jackson, you're in luck, damn it, we had a Waterloo last night and almost hit the rocks! Damn it! Damn it! ”
"Anthony, are you going to sea now? Where are you going today? How about going together. ”
"Forget it, Carry, you're not just a bastard and a scourge. Far away from me, I don't want to go back empty-handed today. ”
……
In the cacophony. Qin Shiou discussed with Hamlet and decided to sell the fish to the most reputable goldfish hook fishing company.
This company is characterized by an unbiased rating. Although the price is not advantageous over the other two, as long as the fish is rated a reasonable grade, it is fine.
Like tuna and large swordfish, the price is not uniform when it is sold, because the fat content of these fish is not the same, and the body shape is not the same, so the meat quality should be rated and the price should be given according to the grade.
Fishing boats of all sizes are docked at the fishing company's docks, and cruise ships like the Farewell are rare. So as soon as they leaned in, a middle-aged man came up and waved them away.
"Rich man, this is a place to sell fish, not a place for you to dock a luxury yacht and play with women!" Someone yelled at Qin Shiou and the others on the fishing boat, and then many people laughed, it seems that the Canadian people are also very strict in hating the rich.
The wealth polarization in North America is even greater, and although the two governments have been emphasizing fairness, justice and non-discrimination, in reality the discrimination between the rich and the poor is still very strong. This has also created conflicts between the two sides.
Therefore, in the big cities of Canada and the United States, it is common to see a clear separation between rich areas and slums, in order to avoid direct contact between the two sides and conflict. And places like fishing ports are all rude fishermen with low education. Seeing someone driving a yacht into their own territory, naturally some people speak ill of each other.
Qin Shiou shrugged, he walked to the deck and said to the middle-aged man waving, "Man." We're here to sell fish, blue marlin. A big blue marlin, aren't you interested? ”
Listened to this. The middle-aged man jumped off, wearing a golden uniform with the Goldhook logo and initials on it.
The Atlantic marlin caught by Winnie was indeed big enough, and the fish compartment of the Farewell was a little too much to stuff, so she had to cut off the head in advance, otherwise she only needed to remove the gills and internal organs, and a fish head was worth a lot of money.
When the middle-aged man saw the size of the blue marlin, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to punch Qin Shiou's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good luck, man, did you catch this?" ”
Qin Shiou said proudly: "No, it was my girlfriend who caught it, you know, it's too difficult, a girl can catch such a big guy, she can't do it without some skills." ”
Winnie simply freshened up and walked out of the bathroom, it was cold at sea in the morning, she put on Qin Shiou's windbreaker, which added some heroism to her. Her hair was braided in a ponytail and hung down at the back of her head, bright and bright, and when she reached the deck, she was stunned by the rude fishermen.
Soon, whistles and strange screams began one after another.
Qin Shiou introduced Winnie to the middle-aged man, he blinked in surprise, and said: "It's so surprising, I thought they should pick bags and perfumes in Dior and Chanel stores, I didn't expect you to catch such a wild fish." ”
Soon a hook was transferred, and the middle-aged man tied the rope to the tail of the fish, the hook tightened, and the big fish was pulled out.
As the blue marlin was pulled up, there were fewer whistlings around, replaced by gasps and exclamations.
After the fish was hoisted, it was weighed first, and then someone came up and cut off a piece of fish meat and looked at it, and sent it for testing, and the middle-aged man who received it got the results and said to Winnie: "Quality 3A grade, the price is 28 yuan, a total of 655.8 pounds, so it is yuan, do you have any questions?" ”
Qin Shiou shook his head, this is a bit different from the price given by Hamray, although Hamlet is not a professional, but he is a veteran fishing veteran, and his grasp of the price of big fish is still very accurate.
Hamlet immediately explained to Qin Shiou, saying: "You can't expect these fishing companies to offer you a price at the price of Tokyo, they still have to change hands to make money." ”
Qin Shiou nodded suddenly in realization, and Hamlet continued: "If you have your own channels, you can go to Tokyo to participate in the auction, and it is possible for this fish to be auctioned for 40,000 yuan." ”
"There is also an auction for fish?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise.
"Of course, the fishing auction is also very intense, and I remember that earlier this year, the Japanese sushi restaurant chain Kiyomura paid close to 2 million Canadian dollars for a 500-pound top-quality bluefin tuna," Hamlet laughs. ”
The receptionist of Goldfish Hook heard Hamlet's words and continued: "But that's actually very difficult, I've read the information about that fish, and its meat quality rating is 3S, and there has been no big fish of this grade in North America in the past ten years." ”
Qin Shiou thought about it, the big blue and small blue in his house, he didn't know what level the meat quality was, but they had been transformed by the energy of the sea god.
Then he shook his head again, anyway, he was not short of money, Da Lan and Xiao Lan would not sell, specialize in breeding fish, and in the future, he would go to find female bluefin tuna to come back and breed them, and start a bluefin tuna breeding by himself.
Although this price made Qin Shiou unsatisfied, it had already attracted the eyes of the surrounding fishermen.
When this blue marlin was hoisted, it attracted many fishermen to watch, and since then, more and more people have stared at Winnie with fiery eyes, and Winnie is chilled when she sees it.
Soon someone shouted, "Hey, chick, where did you catch this fish?" Can I tell me the coordinates? ”
"Damn little biaozi! Such a good fish actually let her catch it, she must be a good catcher! ”
"God is so unfair, we come and go in the wind and waves every day, and as a result, we can't even earn back the oil money, and some people can catch a big fish just by going to sea!"
Later, I learned that the meat quality of this fish was rated as 3A, and the scene was chaotic. (To be continued......).
