Chapter 56: Convincing People with Money
"Boss Liu."
"How did you get here?"
Zhao Dahai looked back and saw that it was Liu Gang from Hongyun Restaurant who called him, and he was just thinking about whether to go to him to see if he could accept his mussels, but he didn't expect the mussels to be sold and met here.
Liu Gang pointed to the dry goods street not far away, the restaurant wanted to get some dry goods, and he came here to find an old acquaintance to get some.
"Are you here to sell anything in town?"
Liu Gang glanced at the bag on the rack on the back seat of the motorcycle, which people in the village and town like to use to carry things.
Zhao Dahai said that he came here to sell mussels.
Liu Gang remembered the big low tide a few days ago, almost every household in the fishing village around the mirror went out to dig mussels, Zhao Dahai must have dug and dried them himself, and hurriedly asked where the mussels were, and when he heard that they had been sold, he shouted that it was a pity, and when he heard the price, he said that the price was low, and he would definitely open a higher price.
"Didn't you say that last time? Something good to be delivered to my restaurant first?! ”
Liu Gang complained half-truthfully.
"Hehehe!"
"Boss Liu."
"I'm thinking that your restaurant sells raw seafood and doesn't accept dry goods."
Zhao Dahai himself did say something like this and explained it.
Liu Gang said that his price is sold low, and he will definitely open a higher price? The shadow of the mussel is not seen, and this is just a matter of listening, not taken seriously. Liu Gang is very familiar with the market here in the town, and the lower the price, the more money he will make, as long as he opens a higher price than the store in the dry goods street. If he hadn't happened to meet Wu Weimin, Liu Gang would have sold it by himself as long as he opened forty-five or even forty yuan.
"I remember you're from Langtou Village, right?!"
Liu Gang remembered that Zhao Dahai had said that it was from Langtou Village, and the mussels had been sold, so it was useless to entangle.
"That's right."
"At first glance?"
Zhao Dahai was a little strange, and he didn't know why Liu Gang suddenly said this.
"Are there blood eels in your village?"
Liu Gang then asked.
"Boss Liu."
"You're not going to want to get some blood eels, are you?"
Zhao Dahai immediately asked. Blood eel is a kind of eel in the sea, which looks a bit like a yellow eel in freshwater, with a pale yellow and purple back, and a white and purple belly, and is not big, the largest is generally less than half a meter long, and the thickest will not be more than two centimeters in diameter. The meat is fatty and tender, the biggest feature is that there is a lot of blood, which is the origin of its name, it has the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing blood and nourishing the stomach, and belongs to high-grade seafood. Liu Gang opened a restaurant, and it is normal to want to collect some blood eels.
As soon as Liu Gang heard that there was really a blood eel, he immediately said that he wanted to collect it, no matter how much, the more the merrier.
Zhao Dahai smiled bitterly. The more the merrier, no matter how much? Blood eels generally live in shallow mudflats, and can be reached by walking a few steps into the sea, but it is not easy to catch or dig this thing.
"Boss Liu."
"You're a connoisseur."
"I must know that the blood eels in our town or a few nearby villages are not so easy to deal with. It's all sea mud or simply a mixture of sand and gravel. You can only dig with a hoe, which is very strenuous. ”
Zhao Dahai knew very well that the blood eel was not easy to deal with.
"Can you dig some?"
Liu Gang was anxious when he heard this. This is a really good thing, now is the season of blood eel, there are dozens of old customers who keep calling to ask if there is, in the past few days I have a headache for this matter, but, as Zhao Dahai said, blood eel is very difficult to catch, no one wants to do this job.
"If you want to sell this, just get it somewhere else! I've heard that there are places where it's easier to catch this stuff. The right tide can be raked with a special rake. ”
Zhao Dahai remembered that he had heard that there were some places where it was easier to catch blood eels.
"Hey!"
"Don't dare to do this."
"Blood eels in other places are the same, and they all look the same, but this is not our blood eel here."
Liu Gang shook his head. There are clear regional differences in seafood. Don't look at the same blood eel, don't say anything about other provinces or anything, even the town has a strict distinction here, the best in front of Langtou Village, a few nearby villages can accept it, and other villages can't sell it at a price. Acquired from somewhere else? If you really dare to do such a thing, those old customers will smash their own signboards 100%.
"Will you dig it?!"
Liu Gang stared at Zhao Dahai with his eyes. The blood eel digs a hole in the mudflat, which can be more than one meter deep, and a radius of four or five meters may be a hole, and the speed of the frightened movement is very fast, and people with experience and no skills can dig it at all. This is actually another reason why blood eels are very rare and difficult to acquire, and few people have such skills now.
Zhao Dahai nodded, his Lao Tzu is a master of digging blood eels, and he will dig behind his ass when he hits a small heel, and he will naturally see too much.
"Boss Liu. Whether you can dig is one thing, whether you are willing to dig is another. It's so hard to dig for blood eels to make money, I'd rather catch a jumping fish. ”
Zhao Dahai is not joking, it's not that he doesn't make money by himself, the market price of blood eel is about 100 yuan a catty, but it is too difficult to deal with, too laborious, tired and tired, digging one or two catties a day, not making any money, the general price of jumping fish is far less high than blood eel, but jumping fish is much simpler.
"One hundred and eighty yuan a pound for the average size!"
"Two hundred and twenty pieces a pound more than one centimeter thick. Two centimeters thick 300 yuan a catty. ”
Liu Gang didn't say a word, and directly offered the price.
"Hey!"
"Boss Liu. How can you do that? ”
Zhao Dahai was a little depressed. Digging for blood eels is indeed very hard, but it is different when you have money, and it is even more different if you have a lot of money. The price offered by Liu Gang was more than double the normal market price, which was clearly to convince people with money.
"Hah!"
"The old customer has to get some blood eel to eat! What can I do? ”
Liu Gang was a little helpless, the old customer is his own food and clothing parents, not bad money, directly said that as long as there is much money, he can only think of a way as much as possible.
Zhao Dahai grinded carefully for a while and nodded, but he didn't say anything, he just said that he would go to the sea for a spin in the next few days, and if he dug it, he would send it over, and if he couldn't dig it, he would pull it down.
Liu Gang watched Zhao Dahai ride a motorcycle farther and farther, with a smug smile on his face. Why doesn't anyone want to dig up blood? In the final analysis, it is very hard, and the money earned is not much, and it is disproportionate, but there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and Zhao Dahai will not be able to resist if he opens a higher price. The price of two hundred yuan or three hundred yuan a catty does not make much difference to oneself, as long as the price is within a certain reasonable range, the people who end up paying for the blood eels are not themselves.
"Liu Gang!"
"You know that kid!?"
Liu Gang was startled, someone shouted behind his back, and when he looked back, it was Cheng Wenfeng, an old friend who had known him for many years, and he came to the dry goods street today to get some dry goods from his store.
