Chapter 485: Head Fish
In the winter of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Yizhou continued to carry out winter fishing and search for destined people.
This time, the winter fishing attracted more tourists than last year.
After a year of development, Yizhou's tourist base is now much more than before.
Eighty percent of the tourists who came to participate in the winter fishing last year came this year.
There are also some that I learned about through the Yizhou Monthly News, or through those tourists who came last year, and they came here by word of mouth.
In short, the number of tourists this year is almost twice as high as last year.
The day before, Li Su ordered people to start preparing for these things.
On the second day, the winter harvest officially began.
The genius was bright, and those tourists, wearing thick leather clothes, went to the winter fishing site.
Ice holes in the ice, nets that have been laid, and sturdy turntables.
All this makes first-time visitors to Yizhou full of curiosity.
Now that the net has been lowered, the next step is to turn the turntable and get the fish on.
The horse pulls the twine, turns the turntable, and then the underwater net is pulled out of the water little by little.
In the midst of everyone's gaze, the first fish jumped out of the water.
"Out of the fish!"
"It's out! It's out! ”
"Quick, the head fish is out! Grab the first fish! ”
The head fish that had just jumped out was grabbed by the staff who had prepared it in advance and put aside.
This year's fish is going to be auctioned on the spot, which is also a gimmick for this year's winter fishing.
Soon, more and more fish popped out of the water.
The scene of a school of fish dancing wildly is definitely a great spectacle on a snowy winter day.
Screams and exclamations erupted from the scene.
After all the nets were collected, the fish caught in the winter were immediately robbed.
Thirty or forty thousand catties of fish, that is, thousands of fish.
The number of tourists who come is at least tens of thousands.
It's really fast, but it's slow.
It's slow to grab, and you really can't grab it.
After all, the lake in Yizhou is still a little smaller.
In the northeast of the later generations, the fish that can be caught in a winter catch are as high as two or three hundred thousand catties at most times, which is called a spectacular.
Everyone who grabbed the fish was overjoyed, and in their eyes, this was not only a fish, but also a good luck!
Those who didn't grab it were not much disappointed, and to be able to see such a wonderful scene, this trip was not in vain.
Then it's time to auction the head fish.
In front of the head fish, there were people in a circle, and more people were watching from behind.
The people who can stand in front are all local tyrants with a lot of money, and ordinary people really don't dare to move forward.
"The head fish auction is now officially open! There is no low price for this fish, live auction, the highest bidder wins! ”
This time, the auction was presided over by Li Su on the spot.
Well, last year, the head fish was not auctioned, and was directly taken away by Cheng Yanjin, and then stewed and eaten by them.
And this time, the head fish was auctioned directly, which can also be said to be the first auction.
Those rich people naturally want to ask for a lottery.
In view of the fact that it was the first time, it was also presided over by Li Su himself.
As soon as Li Su's voice fell, someone soon made a bid.
"I'll pay a thousand dollars!"
This bidder is a pot-bellied nobleman in Tibet.
Although the Songtsan Gampo of Tibet and the national teacher Zhang Jianghe of Tibet can be said to hate Li Su, the king of Shu.
But they can't control the nobles of Tubo at all, and the nobles of Tubo like to run to Yizhou City if they have nothing to do.
Some people have even lived in Yizhou City for longer than their own tribe.
"A thousand bucks? Cut, at this price, you are also embarrassed to call the export? I'll pay three thousand! ”
"Five thousand dollars!"
"Ten thousand dollars!"
Is the flesh of a fish just golden?
Or is it fairy meat? Can a bite make people live longer?
Seeing that the price of this fish is rising, and the price is rising so fast, the surrounding melon-eating audience can't help but look stupid.
In fact, it is just a fish, and it is not a rare species, how can it be so expensive?
The key is to win a lottery!
And these bidders, which of them are local tyrants, they don't care about this money at all.
Still, as prices climbed, some people pulled out of the auction.
"Fifty thousand dollars!"
As soon as this price came out, the scene couldn't help but be quiet.
Even the host Li Su didn't expect the price to rise so high all of a sudden.
In fact, the price of the head fish auction in later generations is called a high.
Hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
However, the auction of the head fish in later generations has formed a tradition, and it is a reputation accumulated over many years.
This is the first time in Yizhou.
And it is really rare to be able to auction this high price for the first time.
Li Su couldn't help but look up and found that the person who was asking for the price was actually known to him.
It turned out to be Cui Zhiji of the Cui family.
And next to Cui Zhifu, there was also a petite girl.
He wears a leather coat and a small hat on his head.
The collar of the leather coat was turned up, just enough to cover her face, making it difficult to see her face.
However, even if you can't see her face, you can feel a kind of elegance and calmness from her.
This girl is probably either Cui Zhiji's wife and concubine, or the daughter of the Cui family.
This is probably the so-called style of everyone's ladies, right?
No wonder, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, even the prime minister at that time wanted to marry a woman with five surnames.
Countless people are proud to marry five women.
Unexpectedly, people from the five surnamed Qiwang families would also come to participate in the auction.
"This Cui Gongzi bid 50,000 yuan, is there anyone who bids higher? If not, this head fish will belong to Cui Gongzi, 50,000 yuan for the first time, 50,000 yuan for the second time......"
"I'll give 60,000!"
Well?
There are still people fighting with the Cui family?
Li Su couldn't help but look at the person who shouted the price, but he didn't know this person, and looking at the clothes, he didn't look like a person from the Tang Dynasty.
Hearing that someone was robbing it, Cui Zhiji's face showed arrogance, and he said lightly: "One hundred thousand!" ”
Li Su couldn't help but look at the person who was bidding just now, but Li Su obviously saw a look of hesitation on his face.
Maybe what he hesitated about was not the price of 100,000, but Cui Zhiji's determination to grab it.
"Cui Gongzi bid 100,000 yuan, does anyone else bid higher? If not, this head fish will belong to Cui Gongzi! 100,000 dollars for the first time, 100,000 dollars for the second time, 100,000 dollars for the third time! Deal! ”
Li Yu didn't have any ink, and after tens of thousands of three sounds, he directly announced that the head fish belonged to Cui Zhiji.
Then Li Su handed over the head fish to Cui Zhiji's entourage and said to Cui Zhiji: "Cui Gongzi, the head fish belongs to you, congratulations!" ”
Cui Zhiji smiled slightly, and then said: "Your Highness, I didn't bring the 100,000 yuan with me, but Your Highness can rest assured, when you arrive in Yizhou City, you will definitely give it a lot." ”
Li Su laughed and said, "Doesn't this king still believe you Cui Gongzi?" Money thing, it's easy to say! ”
