Chapter 6 Selling an Abalone

Some time ago, no one ate 400,000 yuan in one meal, and it is said that there was an abalone on that table, but those were fresh abalone, far from being compared with dry abalone.

"China has a long history of eating abalone, and there have been records of celebrities enjoying abalone in all dynasties, such as Wang Mang and Su Shi, and later, abalone was listed as one of the eight treasures." Liao Jie saw that Shen Long was very interested in this dry abalone, so he explained on the side.

"Dried abalone is a dried abalone made from fresh abalone, is a very valuable ingredient in seafood, because of its complex production process, the requirements for the producer's craftsmanship are very strict, Master Tamura Li of Aomori Prefecture, Japan is a master of making abalone, and is also the president of the local abalone association, their family has been making abalone for hundreds of years."

"Since modern times, due to industrial pollution and the development of fishing technology, many abalone have been fished out and eaten before they grow up, and it is not easy to find such a dried abalone." Saying that, Liao Jie opened the box, so that Shen Long could appreciate the abalone more intuitively, "If you want such a big abalone, it will grow in the sea for at least seventy or eighty years." ”

"This one is huge, with a fat and plump pillow, the size of an adult's palm; The color is deep, the beads on the skirt are thick and distinct, when the box is opened, it exudes a strong dried abalone umami, and the quality is good. Hearing this, Shen Long nodded again and again.

It's only the 80s now, and it's so rare to get a dried abalone, so wouldn't it be more valuable if you took it back? I also spent a lot of money for this mission, so wouldn't it be good to bring something back when I left?

Thinking in his heart, Shen Long immediately proposed to buy it; If someone else said this, Liao Jie would definitely let him get out of here, this is the treasure of our Yangzhou Building, how can he say that he will sell it?

However, Shen Long had just saved his wife and children, and Liao Jie owed him a great favor, so he immediately called out the manager to sell this abalone to Shen Long, Yangzhou Building is still a state-owned hotel, and if it was his own, he would send it directly.

The manager was also a little embarrassed, but after learning the identity of Shen Long's returned overseas Chinese, he immediately changed his mind and agreed, is it also a political task to let overseas Chinese taste the food of the motherland!

So Shen Long took out all the dollars he had prepared, exchanged it for this palm-sized dried abalone, and immediately said goodbye and left, returned to the White Swan Hotel to check out, and found a corner where no one paid attention and chose to return.

Passed through the time and space door and returned to the rental house, still holding the box containing dried abalone in his arms, Shen Long came back to his senses and immediately turned on his mobile phone and searched on the Internet, this search does not matter, the abalone auction on the major auction websites suddenly brightened his eyes, and only a two-ended dried abalone was sold for his year's income.

How much can I sell for this abalone? This one is twice as big as two abalones; "Number of heads" refers to how many abalone of uniform size are in one catty (604.79 grams), for example, ten abalone weighing about 60 grams add up to about one catty, then this is ten abalone.

The two abalone are naturally two 600 grams, and Shen Long's one is more than a catty, and the value is several times that of the two abalone, in other words, he has earned back several times his annual salary after a trip this time, compared to the expenses he spent on applying for a fake certificate and buying old dollars, it is definitely doubled.

I still have to hurry up and sell the things, the place where Shen Long rents is mixed, and if you put it at home, you may lose it that day, so it is better to change it into money as soon as possible to rest assured.

Because the abalone came from an unknown source, he was not easy to find an auction house, so he remembered those famous restaurants in Beijing, since Yangzhou Lou will put this abalone at the door as the treasure of the town, then these hotels must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, right? It's more effective than any advertisement.

I checked a few restaurants in Beijing that are famous for making abalone on the Internet, and Shen Long finally chose Ah Yi Abalone, firstly, I heard what Liao Jie just said, and secondly, Shen Long just saw people on the Internet commenting on Ah Yi Abalone, as long as Yang Guanyi is still alive, it is meaningless to discuss who makes the best abalone in the world, which can prove that Ah Yi Abalone is the top master of cooking abalone.

As the saying goes, the sword is given to the hero, and the pink is given to the beauty, this abalone sold to a single abalone seems to be its best destination, and this shop has been famous for a long time, and the roots are innocent, so you don't have to worry too much about being hacked; Of course, if they don't make a price that satisfies them, that's another story.

Shen Long carefully inspected the box containing the abalone, and found nothing that could reveal the origin, so he found a bag and packed it, and called an express train to go straight to Ah Yi Abalone.

When I arrived at the hotel, it was not yet time to eat, so Shen Long said directly to the lobby manager, "Tell your manager to come out, I have dried abalone made by Mr. Tamura Li, a Japanese online abalone master, here and want to sell it to you." ”

"Please sit down and rest for a while, and I'll call our manager right away." can be the lobby manager of Ah Yi Abalone, and he naturally knows abalone very well, and as soon as he heard this name, he did not hesitate to invite Shen Long to the lounge, and turned around to ask the manager.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a rich body walked in, "Contemptible Yang Wanglong, is the general manager of this store, may I ask if you want to sell Master Tamura's net abalone to us?" ”

"Well, a net abalone, I think it is most suitable for the capital to sell to you." Shen Long didn't talk nonsense, and directly took the box out of the bag and put it on the coffee table.

"A net abalone?" Yang Wanglong almost laughed, shouldn't you fool me with South African fresh abalone, now you can still find a Japanese net abalone there!

But when he saw what Shen Long took out, his eyes almost fell out, it was really a dry abalone! How many years ago did you last see this? Fifteen years ago or twenty years ago?

"I didn't expect to see a bun again in my lifetime, this gentleman, I wonder if you can open it for me to see?" After getting Shen Long's permission, Yang Wanglong put on gloves, took out a head of abalone, and took a magnifying glass to look at it carefully, and the lobby manager behind him couldn't help but stretch his neck to look at it.

He has been working at Ayi Abalone for more than ten years, but this is the first time he has seen one.

Shen Long didn't speak, silently drank the tea, and after three consecutive teas, Yang Wanglong put the abalone back in the box, "That's right, it's indeed a net abalone made by Master Tamura Li, I want to keep this abalone, this gentleman, you can make a price!" ”

Hearing this, the lobby manager frowned for a while, didn't he clearly want people to kill himself? But Yang Wanglong didn't care at all, as long as he bought this abalone and put it in the store, he could earn it back as much as he could.

Shen Long was stunned when he said this, how much should I want?
