Chapter 156: Big Price

In the blue sea, a wisp of pink quickly parted and swam forward.

Soon, the pink manta rays were near the island.

Cai Hongming saw it, and hurriedly took the bluefin tuna out of the jade bead, so as not to be seen in the future and couldn't explain the reason, and by the way, the pink manta ray was put into the jade bead.

Shi Wan'er, Yan Ling, Yiyi, Shizuka and other women were accompanying Xiao Chuchu to build a castle on the golden sand of the island, and suddenly saw Cai Hongming carrying a big fish up, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Shizuka, who has been abroad for N years and is a little influenced by the West, saw Cai Hongming carrying a bluefin tuna, and the sturdy body exposed by the protruding muscles on his body, he actually had a heart-pounding feeling, and his little heart was beating fast for a while.

People playing on the island saw that he had caught such a big bluefin tuna and ran over to see it.

Lu Qitian got the news as soon as he could, and when he saw the bluefin tuna, he hurriedly ran back and brought a knife to bleed the fish.

"Hongming, how did you catch it?" After Lu Qitian finished his work, he asked curiously.

He'd seen a tuna, but he'd never seen it that big, let alone caught it empty-handed.

"When I went to sea, I saw this guy eating fish after a school of fish, so I swam over and punched him to death and brought it back."

When Lu Qitian heard his words, he felt like he was farting, and the hole in his head didn't look like he was hit with his fist, but seeing that he didn't mean to say anything, he didn't ask again, and said, "What are you going to do with this fish?" ”

"Take it home and eat it." Cai Hongming said indifferently.

When Lu Qitian heard this, he jumped up and said, "What to eat, this is all money, how can you eat such a big fish." Leave it alone, I'll take care of it. With that, he picked up the phone and called. But an hour. I saw several speedboats coming from a distance, and one of them was the last time I came to buy seafood.

The speedboat docked.

From above came down a bunch of people, it looked like they were divided into four groups, and there was a family of people who looked like it was day. Myself. Lu Qitian introduced on the side that it was the owner of the Sagishima Akino sushi restaurant. Akino sushi restaurant in Japan. This is very famous, and there are many chain stores in the country. The others are the managers of some big hotels.

As soon as they landed, a group of people found bluefin tuna that Cai Hongming and others were looking around. And he walked over.

That day. As soon as I passed, I walked over to the bluefin tuna and took a closer look.

There are many varieties of tuna, but tuna in a broad sense refers to about 30 species of fish in the mackerel, swordfish, and sailfish families. The species with greater economic value include bluefin tuna, masu tuna, bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, albacore tuna, bonito and other 6 species, among which bluefin tuna, masu tuna, bigeye tuna, and yellowfin tuna are raw materials for sashimi, and albacore tuna and bonito are mainly used as raw materials for canned tuna, but albacore tuna is also used to make sashimi.

Bluefin tuna is the largest species of tuna and is also known as blackfin tuna.

This type of tuna grows slowly and is high in fat. It tastes good, so it is mainly used for high-grade sashimi.

With severe overfishing, bluefin tuna resources are already endangered, which also makes bluefin tuna prices slowly rise.

Bluefin tuna has different meat quality depending on the environment and place of activity, even if it is the same species. Hence that day. I would take a closer look, and not only him, but also the chefs from other hotels who came with him walked up to the bluefin tuna to look at the wounds. Check the quality of the meat.

After a lot of inspection, everyone unanimously agreed that the meat of this bluefin tuna was of good quality.

Then. Four groups of people began to bid.

This bluefin tuna is a little more than four meters, and after passing through the island's electronic scale, nearly 900 catties, it is rare to catch such a large and fleshy bluefin tuna now. So day. I called a high price of 3 million at the beginning.

In the early hours of January 5, 2013. In Tokyo's Tsukiji Market, the largest seafood market, a sushi restaurant bought a tuna weighing 222kg for 155 million yen (about 10 million yuan). The price also broke the record for the highest price, setting a new all-time record

Of course, there is an element of advertising.

Because in the New Year of last year, the East. At the first tuna auction held at the Keizuki Market, a 180.4-kilogram bluefin tuna sold for only 4.51 million yen. It is about 232,700 yuan, and one kilogram is equivalent to 1,290 yuan. This year, the same first auction sold for 670,000 yuan.

Obviously, this day. I also had the idea of using this bluefin tuna to advertise and boost the sushi restaurant's business in this economic downturn.

Not only him, but several other hotels have similar thoughts.

Think about such a big bluefin tuna in the store, and then hold an event, and then break the news in the media, the business in the store will definitely be booming, and the money will not be recovered at once, and by the way, you can also beat the reputation of your hotel. The hotels called by Lu Qitian all have chain stores in China, among which the Mid-Levels Hotel and the Prince Hotel are even more famous.

Day. I thought that the price he opened was high, and when he was complacent, the manager of the Mid-levels Hotel next to him added 500,000 yuan and shouted a high price of 3.5 million, but this price was quickly overtaken.

After a fierce bidding, the bluefin tuna was finally won by the manager of Longting Hanfu Hotel for 8.5 million yuan, which is almost enough to catch up with the price of the 222-kilogram tuna in 2013.

After the manager of Longting Hanfu Hotel took a picture of the bluefin tuna, he immediately took his mobile phone and called someone to come and pull the fish, and the next thing was to put on a show. He's going to pull the fish to the dock, and then let the media come over for interviews, and then it's a round of publicity, believing that the hotel's performance should be able to multiply this month.

Cai Hongming didn't expect the price of the bluefin tuna he caught casually to be so high, and he couldn't believe it for a while.

The other groups of people wanted to leave without photographing the bluefin tuna, Cai Hongming suddenly remembered the yellow-lipped fish placed in the jade bead, and asked, "Do you want the yellow-lipped fish?" ”

"Hongming, do you still have a yellow-lipped fish?" Lu Qitian listened and asked beside him.

"I just saw a yellow-lipped fish struggling in the aquatic weeds below, estimated to be about 100 catties. Wait a minute, I'll catch it right away. So saying, he threw himself into the sea.

The hotel manager who came to buy the fish was amused when he heard what he said, was this thing he could catch whenever he wanted? Do you think that the sea is his home? However, it was not a little bit of time, so they stopped to see what Cai Hongming was doing, but they also had a little expectation in their hearts, because this yellow-lipped fish was a good thing.

Yellow-lipped fish, also known as money fish (mian), money mammoth, also known as (fish high). Wenzhou people call Huanggan.

It is believed that the yellow-lipped fish is a high-grade tonic, especially its fish maw (that is, fish gelatin), which can nourish yin and replenish yang, the effect is similar to that of Goryeo, and the hemostasis is very good, especially for pregnant women postpartum blood collapse and other medicine to eliminate the effect of disease, it has always been very valuable, and there is a saying that "expensive as gold".
