Dongling Fishing Market, a small fishing market located in the East China Sea. Although there are not many people in the town, the seafood trade here is very busy. From morning to night, you can see large and small fishing boats entering and leaving the town.

For many people living in the interior who want to eat truly authentic and fresh seafood, coming to Dongling is the best choice. The seafood that is traded here every day is then shipped to major inland cities for sale as quickly as possible.

Xu Licheng, who used to like to catch the morning market, only laid a net of fish today, and he didn't even go home and went straight to the Dongling Fish Market. Even though the fish market seems deserted at noon, there are still fishmongers who collect fish.

Many fishmongers even stay at the pier all day and crowd over to see a fishing boat docking. If there is any good quality fish, these fishmongers can also negotiate the price on the spot and pull the fish that the fishermen have just caught into the cold storage to keep it fresh.

As soon as the fishing boat docked, many fishermen squatting at the pier crowded over. Seeing Xu Licheng coming ashore, a fisherman soon smiled and said, "Old Xu, why did you come here at this time today?

As fishermen, these people have a pair of sharp eyes. From the freshness of the fish, you can tell when the fish that are frozen are fought. And Xu Licheng's fish today is undoubtedly very fresh.

"Well, I just got a net in the morning, and the harvest is pretty good. How about you, and give me a real price!"

Although the large yellow croaker has been booked, there are still hundreds of catties of various fish left, which still need to be sold. For Xu Licheng, the opportunity to catch a big yellow croaker is hard to come by, but other fish still have to be sold.

While Xu Licheng was negotiating with the fishmonger, Xu Haibao was still on the boat, guarding the big foam box at his feet. Until a big Ben appeared on the dock, and a sturdy middle-aged man walked from above.

After seeing the other party get out of the car, he also looked at the location of the fishing boat, and Xu Haibao also said in a timely manner: "Third uncle, you look at something, I'll go see someone." The person who bought the fish should have arrived!"

"Good!"

Maybe the words of the two seem a little puzzling. But when I saw the foam box covered with cotton cloth, a fishmonger soon said, "Lao Xu, there are good goods? What is it? Why don't you show it to us?"

"Hehe, there are a few good goods, but my nephew has already made a promise. I'm sorry!"

In this process, Xu Haibao looked at the middle-aged man walking towards him, and also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Boss Wu, right?"

"I am! Are you Xiao Cheng's comrade-in-arms?"

"Yes, I'm Xu Haibao, and the one who is selling fish is my third uncle. Xiao Cheng should have told you all on the phone, right? Why don't we look at the fish first, and then talk about it specifically?"

"Okay, just do as you say! This fish was caught by you and your uncle?"

"Well, luck! the first one you caught in the net will come to town as soon as you catch it. Boss Wu should know that the fresher the fish, the better it tastes. I thought, Xiao Cheng's family just opened a high-end seafood restaurant, and this kind of fish should be hard to find.

They wanted to buy the fish, and they wanted to buy it from these fishmongers. It's not cost-effective to let them earn a piece for nothing, so it's better to sell it to him directly from my side. At least I believe that he should not worry about selling this fish, right?"

"That's natural! This fish has never been worried that no one will eat it. At present, the high-end seafood market is still in short supply. The more the New Year's festival approaches, the more people want to eat this rare fish. To be honest, I haven't even eaten this fish a few times!"

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Haibao looked at the fishmongers crowded on the dock, and said in a timely manner: "Boss Wu, you just wait here! I'll go and bring the fish over, the location of the dock is too small and too fishy!"

"It's okay! I'm not that expensive, I'm Xiao Cheng's brother-in-law, if you don't dislike it, it's better to call me Angkor." I heard Xiao Cheng say that when you were in the army, you didn't take care of him less!"

I enlisted in the army a few years earlier than him, and I am a fellow countryman and deputy squad leader, so it is natural to take care of him. However, I was a little surprised, with his family background, how could his family be willing to let him be a soldier?"

Chen Xingcheng is Xu Haibao's comrade-in-arms who contacted him on the fishing boat earlier. A young man who obviously has a lot of money and can be a rich second generation in a chic way, but he went to enlist in the army. Although he is a little skinny, in Xu Haibao's opinion, he is still very righteous towards him.

As Xu Haibao brought Chen Xingcheng's brother-in-law Wu Simin to the wharf, a fishmonger soon said: "Isn't this Mr. Wu of Dongxing Supermarket! Why is he here? Could it be that Old Xu Zhen has caught some good goods!"

In the process, Xu Haibao had already stepped onto the fishing boat and carried the box of foam boxes covered with cotton cloth onto the dock. Seeing this scene, many fishmongers were also curious and crowded to the pier and gathered around.

When the cotton bula opened, four golden big yellow croakers, one big and three small, were lying in the foam box, which made the fishmongers at the scene couldn't help but gasp and said in surprise: "Oh my God! Four big yellow croaker, Lao Xu is going to make a fortune this time!"

While listening to the fishmonger's gossip and discussion, Wu Simin smiled and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry! I have already ordered this fish." My sister's house just opened a restaurant, so you just have to enjoy this fish. ”

As Wu Simin said this, some fishmongers also said in a timely manner: "Boss Wu, this fish is rare, especially such a big one." Why don't you leave the little ones for us and have some fun!"

"You are all in the fish business, who will have too many fish! Bother the person to borrow a scale, let's weigh it and see how heavy this big one is. You probably haven't seen such a big yellow croaker a few times, right?"

"In the early years, I could see it occasionally, but in recent years, it has become less and less common. I really didn't expect to see four of them at once this time!

Even if it is a fishmonger who specializes in buying seafood, these fishmongers also know that the fish of big yellow croaker has indeed been hard to find in recent years. Occasionally, someone hits one or two catties, and most of them will be sold by auction bidding.

Something like this that is directly acquired by a local tyrant is naturally not uncommon. It's just that many fishmongers still feel a pity to miss such a good opportunity. But they know that Wu Simin is also a local tyrant who is not bad for money!

When a fishmonger brought an electronic scale, everyone put the big yellow croaker on it first. Soon the scale showed 2.95. This means that there is no difference in Xu Haibao's estimated weight before, and this fish is almost six catties.

"Wow, six catties of big yellow croaker, this fish is rare!"

And the other three big yellow croaker, two of them are three catties, and the only one that is small is more than two catties and eight taels. After the four fish were weighed, the fishmongers also smiled and said, "Old Xu, it seems that you are really going to get rich this time!"

Xu Licheng, who stayed on the side and always had a smile on his face, knew that it was better to leave this business to his nephew to negotiate. After all, the amount of money in this business is quite a lot, and he is really afraid that it will be cheaper.

Seeing that the four big yellow croakers had been weighed, Wu Simin also said in a timely manner: "This big one, if you bid, how much can you pay for a catty? ”

In the face of Wu Simin's inquiry, a fishmonger soon said: "Boss Wu, you are unfair! Don't let us bid, and let us bid, it's a bit uninteresting!"

"Chen Datou, do you want me to buy your goods next time! I also bought this fish for my nephew. If you give a real price, I can give a fair price!"

explained the relationship with Xu Haibao in a timely manner, and the fishmonger who was laughed at and scolded before said: "Big yellow croaker, the market price of three catties, the average price of our side is about seven thousand per catty." Now the market is a little up, more than 500 yuan per catty.

This one weighs almost six pounds, and the price is higher. Less than 11,000 catties, it is estimated that I am embarrassed to speak. If you really bid in an auction, one or two thousand more per catty, I think there are still people bidding. After all, it's almost the New Year!"

As many fishmongers listened to Chen Datou's offer, they all nodded and said: "Boss Chen's price is very sincere! This price, even if we sell it to the big hotel, it is estimated that it will not be much higher." ”

With the words of the fishmongers, Wu Simin thought for a while and said, "Brother Xu, this big one, I will buy it at 121 catties, even if it is six catties." The other three will give you 7,081 pounds, do you think it's okay?"

Facing Wu Simin's inquiry, Xu Haibao felt that the price was very fair, so he turned around and said, "Third uncle, do you think this price can be done?"

"Okay, okay, it's good for you to call the shots!"

This big yellow croaker counts six catties and can be sold for more than 70,000 yuan. There are three small dots left, adding up to more than ten catties. The total price is more than 150,000. The one that was less than three catties, Wu Simin still raised a lot of prices.

After estimating the price, Xu Haibao also said in a timely manner: "Uncle Wu, if you don't make up the whole thing, you can give 150,000 yuan! If this fish is put here to be auctioned, it is estimated that the highest price can only be auctioned at this price." I won't suffer, and I won't let you suffer!"

"Okay, then you do what you say, transfer or check?"

150,000 cash, how much is still inconvenient to carry. For big bosses like Wu Simin, transfers and checks are the way they pay for large expenses.

Hearing that Xu Haibao had received a few thousand yuan less, Xu Licheng was somewhat distressed. But he also understands that the price is already very fair. If you really sell fish to these fishmongers, it is estimated that it will not sell for 150,000 yuan!

In the final analysis, he still made a lot of money! With this idea, Xu Licheng also seemed very happy. After all, this God-given windfall is enough for him to have a comfortable year this year. What is there for him not to be satisfied?
