Auctions

"Welcome to all leaders, welcome to all fathers and fellow villagers, and welcome guests from all over the world who have come thousands of miles to participate in this head fish auction, and I would like to thank friends who have paid attention to this event. As the most famous tourist attraction in China and Asia, Arctic Village is very pleased to welcome you. It should be a popular student invited from the TV station, and he greeted everyone warmly.

"First of all, we invite the mayor of our city to speak to you. ”

These established official procedures, of course, cannot be omitted. Some of them pretended to listen carefully, and some of them started to discuss directly. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the past that "the rod beats the roe deer scoops the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot", which shows the abundance of aquatic products, coupled with the saying that there is "surplus" in fish, which is more in line with the wish of the Chinese who have "surplus food at home" of agricultural civilization. The auction of the head fish is extraordinarily lively and reasonable.

Finally, when the hammer sounded, the auction officially began. Presiding over the auction was Liu Bo, a senior auctioneer invited from Rongxing Auction House, a well-known auction house in Harbin, who was responsible for introducing Professor Qian Dajiang, a senior technical engineer of the Municipal Fisheries Bureau and a famous Chinese aquatic expert.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Liu Bo from Harbin Rongxing Auction House, and I am honored to carry the hammer for the auction of this winter fishing event. There are a total of six pieces of fish auctioned today, and the rules are the same as in previous years, adding 10,000 yuan to the card, and the one with the highest price in the end will be cashed on the spot. "Master Liu, who was well-dressed in a suit and leather shoes, began his auction process.

"The first piece was a 22-kilogram red carp. Professor Qian is invited to give you a detailed explanation. ”

"The carp is a common species of freshwater fish, and the sides of this carp are golden yellow, and the lower leaves of the tail fin are orange-red. Carp usually inhabit the bottom of water bodies with aquatic weeds in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds and marshes, and mainly feed on benthic animals. Carp scales, skin, brain, eyes can be used in medicine, the function is extraordinary, carp meat is delicious, rich in nutrition. This fish grows for about 12 years, has a body length of 88 centimeters, weighs 22.1 kilograms, and has complete scales and is still alive. Professor Qian Dajiang's explanation is clear and clear, which adds color to the auction and will strongly arouse the desire of those who are interested in the original match.

Confucius's son was born, and Lu Zhaogong sent a representative carp to show his admiration and congratulate Confucius on giving birth to a noble son. Confucius also placed high hopes on this son, so he took the name of carp and the word Boyu. It can be seen that the saint is also very interested in carp blue eyes.

Therefore, according to legend, in ancient times, the Yellow River was overflowing. Shun enabled Kun's son Dayu to inherit his father's business and control floods, and Yu's water control method was dredging. The Jade Emperor ordered his youngest daughter to go down to earth for the Tu Shan clan, marry Dayu as his wife, and help him control the water together. Dayu dredges the flood of the Yellow River to the northwest of Hejin in Shanxi Province, the northeast of Hancheng in Shaanxi Province, crosses both sides of the Yellow River, the shape is like the mountain cliff mouth of the door que, and finally the flood will be channeled, this gully is called Yumen.

The carp living in the Yellow River was washed out of Yumen, and suddenly fell out of the waterfall more than ten zhang deep, and the carp could not go up the river and return to their hometown, so the carp protested to the Yu couple. Tu Shannu agreed with her: "I will go to invite the Jade Emperor, those who can jump on Yumen, turn into flying dragons, soar into the sky, and break their gills, they can only complain that they were born mortal." ”

Since then, every twilight spring, there are countless golden carp along the Yellow River upstream, gathered under the Yumen, jumping hard, occasionally jumping over, it turns into a dragon, soaring above the nine heavens. The Yumen of the dragon soaring is called "Dragon Gate", and it is worth a hundred times as much as it jumps into the Dragon Gate.

In the traditional decoration, the dragon head fish with the body of the fish is often used to represent the carp leaping dragon gate. It is used to express the rolling river waves, the carp vomits under the Yumen, and the fish that jumps over the Yumen Jackie Chan spreads its wings and wants to soar into the sky. It can be seen that the meaning of carp auspiciousness has existed since ancient times, so it is particularly rich in the performance of New Year's paintings and paper-cut works.

The carp was finally sold at a price of 660,000 yuan, and the winner was the secretary of the board of directors of a soon-to-be-listed company, and its intention was of course self-evident.

Twenty-three kilograms of grass carp were snatched up by a wealthy businessman in Zhejiang at a high price of 260,000 yuan; 24 kilograms of silver carp were snatched up by a representative of a real estate company in Beijing; a 33-kilogram bighead carp was snatched up by a lady who did not want to be named; and a three-kilogram salmon was snatched up by a famous hotel in the city at a price of 80,000 yuan.

"The next auction is the most valuable fish in our Ussuri River and even Heilongjiang. "Master Liu Bo is more confident and passionate after the previous successful auction. Infected by it, Professor Qian also became even more eloquent.

"During the Qianlong period, the fierce Hezhe people caught a strange big fish, at that time, no one had ever seen such a big fish, and they were very surprised. According to the practice at that time, all the rare items of the people had to be sent to the capital to be presented to the emperor, so this big fish was sent to the capital by the local fishermen from Heilongjiang, after a lot of hardships, without modern means of transportation. At that time, no one could name this big fish, no one had ever seen it, and only according to the results of the test, it was believed that the fish was not only non-toxic, but also superior and delicious, so the imperial dining room quickly made a plate of delicious fish, and invited Emperor Qianlong to taste it. There were ministers next to him who praised and asked the emperor to give the big fish a name. At this time, Qianlong thought about it and said, this big fish is the largest fish in the freshwater fish found so far, it can be called the king of fish, from now on it will be a royal tribute, every year to pay tribute, for the royal tribute of the king of the big fish is called the fish. This is the legend of the origin of the fish's name, and the story has been passed down to this day ever since. ”

After telling the story and laying the groundwork, four neatly dressed staff members brought over a huge big fish and placed it on a long table, which was more than the length of the table.

At this time, there were bursts of exclamations all around, and the crowd of people was thundering.

Professor Qian continued: "This fish is 190 centimeters long and weighs 196 kilograms, which is really a behemoth. Of course, the largest adult eel can be more than five meters long, and the heaviest one is recorded to be 2,000 catties, and Fuyuan County has also caught 800 catties of eels a few years ago. Sturgeon fish, scientific name Da's fish, is a paleontological preserved in the Cretaceous period, once lived with dinosaurs on the earth, known as a living fossil in the water, and is also the largest fish in China's freshwater fish, now the number is small, has been included in the list of endangered species protection. ”

"What can you do with this auction?"

"Isn't that illegal?"

"Yes. I don't think they're clean. Wait a while for sure the police will come and bring them to justice. ”

One stone struck a thousand waves, and the discussion in the crowd became louder. The heavyweights sitting in the auction table were calm and unmoved. Think about it, how could such an oolong incident occur in such a large-scale event.

Professor Qian sold a pass, just to get such an effect. He paused for a moment and then announced: "It's the winter fishing season, and it is legal for the government to fish, so please participate in the auction." ”
