Chapter 40: Display
When he got home, he took out the drawer with the big yellow croaker in the refrigerator, covered it with newspaper, and took a taxi to the fishing tackle store. After a while, there were five more cars in front of the fishing tackle shop, and they were all good cars. The parking spaces outside the door are all taken up in a row. If someone comes by car, they will have to find another place to park.
As soon as I entered, six or seven people gathered around. "The fish are coming?" "Can you fit in such a small box?"
"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming!" one of them shouted, and it was Liu Shengyi's voice. The owner of this seafood restaurant, who is not tall and has a big belly, walked up to Quan Hao in a few steps, opened the newspaper on the drawer and looked at it, and immediately blamed him for being dissatisfied. "Hey, man. How can you be so careless! Look at the wronged fish, it's about to be twisted. He didn't care how much effort Quan Hao put into the refrigerator to stuff the fish, he only cared if the value of the fish was destroyed.
Pinching the back of the fish, Boss Liu's expression relaxed a lot. Pat off the Xiaoice particles on your hands. "It's okay, it's not completely frozen and can be stretched. He turned his head and raised his voice in the store. "Boss Gao, are you freezing? ”
"Okay, bring it over. "High and scaly. "Yuxing Lao Wan came over to help him. Let's lift the freezer to the middle. "The fishing umbrella in the middle of the fishing tackle shop was put away, and a space was vacated. Move the freezer over just so much for everyone to watch.
The large yellow croaker was placed in the freezer, but it still didn't look good when it was rolled up. Boss Liu sighed and ordered Quan Hao again. "Brother, don't hold the fish head too hard. Let's straighten it up. He started along the gills of the big yellow croaker and straightened its posture little by little. When the hands moved to the tail, the big yellow croaker finally stretched out and lay horizontally in the freezer.
In this way, the big fish is much more majestic, after all, it is more than a meter long, and its whole body is golden and golden. The fins are all complete, the protruding lips are glaring, and the momentum is still not dissipated after death.
Onlookers commented one after another. "It's not short, it's definitely a meter. "The tail is so long. "Luck, I can't catch it. A small fish the size of a palm. "Can a big yellow croaker grow so big?"
These people discuss and discuss, but they consciously stand on the periphery. watched Liu Deyi get started alone. Boss Liu carefully inspected the fins, abdomen, head, and tail of the fish. He took out a ruler and measured the length and nodded in satisfaction.
"How long is it, Lao Liu, hurry up and report it. Seeing that he didn't speak, some fishing friends couldn't help but ask.
"1o7!" Boss Liu replied with a smile.
Someone else asked, "Is it a real rhubarb flower?"
Another person grabbed in front of Boss Liu and said: "It should be, it doesn't fade, it means that it is not impersonated by other yellow croakers." "There are many types of yellow croaker, among which the large yellow croaker is relatively valuable. Therefore, there are often examples of similar-looking yellow croakers being pretended as yellow croakers in the market. There are also merchants who simply mix other yellow croaker fish with large yellow croaker to achieve the purpose of mixing fish eyes and pearls. Therefore, when checking the authenticity of the large yellow croaker, it is usually necessary to see whether the belly of the fish is yellow, and then touch whether it will fade, if it fades, it means that it is fake.
There are also those who are skeptical. "I'm still not optimistic, the big yellow croaker doesn't grow so big. ”
At this time, Boss Liu spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Quan Hao was surprised. "It's true that this fish is not the big yellow croaker we often call it, but if you really call it that, you can't be wrong. ”
The crowd was in an uproar, and the skeptics suddenly became angry. "I'll just say, how can a yellow flower be so big? ”
Others shouted. "It's also a fake? I really can't see it. "Lao Liu, what are you pretending to be?"
Boss Liu smiled mysteriously. Instead of answering everyone's questions directly, he turned to a person who stood a little farther away and didn't say a word. "Lao Wan, you can see it a long time ago. Why don't you speak?"
There were only two people in the fishing tackle shop who didn't speak. The shopkeeper Gao Youlu has been happily watching everyone arguing, but he doesn't intervene no matter what anyone says. There is also this one known as Lao Wan, who basically only glanced at the big yellow croaker, and then ran to the counter to drink tea.
He put the teacup on the counter and said unhurriedly: "Isn't this afraid of blocking Boss Liu's business." ”
Boss Liu knew why the other party had such an expression. His family is also in the seafood business, but it turned out to be only one step late, and the good things were taken by the opponent first. Can you not be depressed? He did not hide his pride in the slightest. "If you don't say it, I'll say it. I'm going to put this fish in the restaurant for the guests to see. If people ask me about it, it's not good to say, isn't it?"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Lao Wan's eyes. His idea is to see if Boss Liu will tell the truth, if Boss Liu is not greedy enough to try to deceive people, then he will pretend to leak his mouth unintentionally and expose the scam. However, his wish is about to be disappointed, and Boss Liu is also an old Jianghu, so he will not leave him a handle.
Several others were not satisfied. "What are you two playing dumb riddles? If you have something to say to your face, don't cover it with clouds. "Like, what's wrong with taking us for fools?"
"I said I said. Boss Liu hurriedly smiled and raised his hand to beg for mercy, and when the dissatisfied voice was suppressed, he made a prompt: "Tell you first, you didn't come in vain." This fish is really rare. After speaking, he turned his head to Quan Hao. "My brother was shocked. It's a good thing that it doesn't matter. ”
Quan Hao didn't know what to say. Just now, when Boss Liu said that his fish was not a big yellow croaker, there were already fishing friends who were staring at him, a fake and deceitful kid. Human experience is sometimes unreliable. He was thinking about whether it was time to make a declaration that "I just had a new fish species", but Boss Liu told him that it was a good thing. The mood is really up and down. I had to pretend to be strict.
Boss Liu reveals the mystery. "It's a yellow-lipped fish, and it's also a genus of yellow croaker. It's really right to say that it's a big yellow croaker, and it's big enough. This one is still small, and the big one can be two meters long, one or two hundred catties. However, it is much rarer than wild large yellow croaker, and it is rare for ordinary fishermen to see one in their lifetime. Brother, you can be hooked for the first time in sea fishing, I won't talk about your luck. He just gave a thumbs up.
Some fishing friends suddenly realized. "It turns out that this is a yellow-lipped fish, and I really haven't seen it before. ”
Boss Liu was also happy to see the hunt and introduced him. "Look. The fish's eyes were like brass bells, and its mouth was pouting. The scales on the head are round, and the scales on the body are like ingots. It was covered in gold, and under the pectoral fins, did you see a small black spot. The back is arched upwards, and the tail is wedge-shaped. ”
Some anglers nodded their heads. "Well, I remember. Next time, I'll be fishing for a rod too. ”
Others immediately dismantled the stage. "Are you fishing for a line?
Someone asked suspiciously: "Can the yellow-lipped fish come to our beach?"
