Chapter 68 Raising Fish Prices (Follow-up on Week 2)

Listen to these two people leaving.

The fishmonger, Lao Zhang, suddenly became anxious and hurriedly said: "It will take two or three hours to drag it here by water. By then the fish will be dead and it will not be sold at a high price."

Li Duoyu didn't care at all and started the diesel engine directly.

"It's okay. I think the price of even dead fish at Rongcheng Wharf may be much higher than yours. I'm about to sail. If you don't want to buy it, can you give it a try?"

Lao Zhang returned to the pier in embarrassment, his brows knitted together. This young man didn't bother to discuss anything and just left immediately.

And the fishmongers on the shore looked at each other a few times, and they all understood that they had encountered difficulties today, and the way of lowering prices might not work for him.

Since there is no way for everyone to make money together.

Then you have to earn it yourself.

There was a young fishmonger who was the first to shout: "Don't leave in a hurry. I don't want the other fish. I'll keep that big bass for a pound and four cents."

Seeing that this young man is so unethical.

Lao Zhang jumped directly back to Li Duoyu's sampan and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I will give you fifty cents for these real sea bream and yellow chickens. I will pay four and a half cents per pound for this big fish. Look, How about it."

Seeing that these two people had already started bidding, the tacit understanding between everyone was instantly shattered, and other fishmongers also bid.

"I'll take a catty of five hairs."

"Liu Mao, Liu Mao, this price is already very high, we are all in the same industry, there is no need to mess with each other."

Old Zhang scolded: "You mess with me first, okay? I pay six and a half cents."

"Qi Mao." The young fishmonger shouted.

Chen Wenchao was dumbfounded. He counted on his fingers. For a pound of seven hairs, this 100-pound bass slider could already be sold for 90 yuan.

His original psychological price was about 50 yuan, but he didn't expect that it would almost double now.

What made Chen Wenchao sigh was that if he had come to sell fish by himself today, he would probably have been killed by these fishmongers.

But with just a few words from Brother Yu, the fishmongers started fighting among themselves and the prices soared.

After struggling to get a pound from [-] cents per catty, it was eventually bought by Lao Zhang who jumped on their boat.

Other fishmongers cursed:

"Old Zhang, what you do is a bit bad for the market. How will everyone collect fish like this in the future?"

"How do you make money by setting such a high price? You don't make it yourself, and you don't let us make it either."

Lao Zhang was too lazy to talk to them, not only bought the squid, but also cleared all the other fish on Li Duoyu's boat.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Zhang took out a wooden scale, and Li Duoyu lifted the perch slide together with him, and then moved the weight.

"125 pounds."

As for these red sea bream and yellow chicken, Lao Zhang directly took them away at a price of five cents, and the rest of the ordinary fish were all taken away at two cents.

In the end, Lao Zhang took out sixteen cards of great unity, and handed them to Li Duoyu with a heartache on his face:

"Alright, it's a real loss to do business with you. Your third uncle Li Zhengfa is not as cruel as you."

After receiving the money, Li Duoyu simply clicked on it, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you still know my third uncle."

Lao Zhang sighed: "At this pier, I collect almost all of your third uncle's fish. I remember that a few days ago, your third uncle was transporting bamboo with you at the pier."

"In this way, we can be considered acquaintances, and you still lower my price like this."

Lao Zhang said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Everyone in this business has come here like this. When we get to know each other well in the future, we won't press down on your price."

"Don't talk about it, I have to go, or the fish will die, and I will really lose money."

Lao Zhang immediately tied the dragon grouper to his fishing boat, then dumped all the snappers, yellow chickens, etc. into the water tank of his fishing boat, and hurriedly headed towards Rongcheng Wharf.

In the past, when the sale was the most popular, there was no need to bring such rare goods to Rongcheng for sale, and the restaurant owners in the county would come to collect them.

Especially those bosses from the mainland who have never eaten seafood before want to try it, and they are very willing to pay for it.

At that time, their seafood business was very prosperous. They kept the prices low for fishermen and sold them to restaurant owners at high prices.

Many people have built new houses in this industry, but since the last major cleaning.

The economy of the entire county has been depressed, and [-]% of the restaurants have been closed. It is also very difficult for these fishmongers to do business.

And this kind of big bass is rarely seen every year. It is a rare commodity, but it is not affordable for ordinary people.

The reason why he dared to offer such a high price was because there happened to be a relative who worked as a purchaser in the newly opened foreign trade hotel in Rongcheng.

Some time ago, his relative had revealed to him that as long as it was a rare item by the sea, the hotel would accept it.

What else to say, recently I always receive "devil" inspection groups, they especially like to eat fish such as red snapper and yellow chicken, and often eat them alive and cut up.

And as long as these fish are fresh enough, the hotel will charge a high price. If they are alive, the price can even be doubled. This is why Lao Zhang dared to call for a piece.

Because other fishmongers don't have his channel at all, and if they dare to call this price, they will definitely lose money.

It's a pity that he could have earned two or three times the amount of this order, but after being dealt with like this by everyone, he can only earn a hard fee.

Speaking of it, it's all the fault of that second-hand young man, who is bluffing, who can't make decisions, and who is so excited, let him make a wrong judgment.

......

After Li Duoyu sold the fish.

Glancing at the thin and dark uncle, remembering the last time he was slaughtered in the county town, he said, "Let's go, I made money today, I'll take you to a restaurant."

Chen Dongqing scolded with a smile: "I've been waiting for you to say this for a long time, at least you have some sharp eyesight."

Li Duoyu took the two of them to a slightly dilapidated small restaurant near the pier.

This restaurant is run by a middle-aged couple. They don't even have a name, and the conditions are only average. The menu is written on the wall with charcoal.

But the business is good. The reason is that this store is very cost-effective and has a lot of seafood. In the big wooden barrel at the door, there are various shellfish, local razor clams, clams, and sea mussels.

Next to it is a large pond made of cement, in which there are some live fish and sea prawns.

When he was selling goods before, he and Agui came back to this restaurant for supper, and he was quite familiar with the husband and wife boss.

After arriving at the restaurant, Li Duoyu found an empty table and shouted to the boss who was busy in the kitchen:

"Old Chen, let me have scrambled eggs with leeks, pork belly with dried bamboo shoots, drunk crabs, fried clams, fried seafood noodles, and finally a dozen beers."

After hearing the sound.

The boss ran out with a cooking shovel, and when he saw Li Duoyu, he smiled and said, "It's ok, so many people have been arrested, and you're fine."

"I collected it early."

“In addition, I was praised for my excellent performance.”

The restaurant owner, Lao Chen, glanced at them and asked, "By the way, where's Agui?"

After hearing this.

Everyone's faces became a little ugly, and the boss also noticed something was wrong in an instant, and said quickly: "I'll cook for you first."
