Swaggering through the market
Everyone was envious, jealous, and excitedly discussing in the car. Aguang arrived late, which was not surprising. He was squatting there, stretching out his hands to measure its head, and touching the tassel on its head from time to time.
"Dongzi, how much can you sell this oarfish for?"
"I don't know. I haven't caught it before, and I haven't heard of anyone catching it. Let's take it to the dock to have a look first."
Others also said with interest: "It will definitely sell for hundreds, maybe thousands..."
"Fuck, so much?"
"It's almost 200 kilograms. Who has ever seen such a rare fish? Those rich bosses are not allowed to buy it back and taste the meat? Have an all-fish feast? Damn, this is so honorable!"
"Damn, that's true. It's such a big one. If you carry it around the street, your face will light up."
"So this is the reason why you shamelessly want to follow?"
A Guang glared, "How did you say that? Who is so shameless? I am my future brother-in-law, one of my own, and you are the ones who are so shameless..."
Several people were bickering and cursing on the tractor, and they didn't stop until they entered the streets of the town.
"You said, should we just lift the oarfish up so it's more conspicuous? It's already here, so it must be more ostentatious, right?"
Ye Yaodong touched his chin and nodded, "It makes sense, then you guys can carry it!"
He stopped going...
Several people really lifted their bodies with great interest, some held the fish's head, some held the tail, with glorious looks on their faces, which made him feel a little embarrassed...
As soon as everyone lifted the fish, they saw people passing by on the street widened their eyes in shock.
There was a man who was carrying a load on his shoulders. He was so shocked that he dropped it to the ground, and all the leftover cabbage and radishes fell out.
"Damn it, what kind of fish is so long?"
"Ah? Hairtail? So long..."
"Boom! What kind of fish is that? Is it fake?"
"Hey...what kind of fish are you..."
Ah Zheng shouted excitedly to the people on the street: "This is an oarfish. It is six meters and three meters long and weighs almost 200 kilograms. If you want to see it, go to Yujing Wharf..."
Others also shouted excitedly to the street, teaching everyone about oarfish...
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but help his forehead and thanked his brothers for helping with the publicity. It was right to call you...
It was almost lunch time, and there were a lot of people closing stalls. The road was full of farmers carrying bamboo baskets back home. Fortunately, they were standing on their cars, so only people who had walked past could see them, so it did not affect the tractor for a while.
go ahead.
When some good-hearted people saw such a big fish, they were immediately curious and couldn't leave. They directly followed the car with their burdens, intending to follow and watch the excitement.
With the brothers' loud propaganda, a large group of people were already following the tractor before they even arrived at Yujing Wharf. Some merchants passing by on the street also ran out to take a look.
By the time the tractor arrived at the Fishing Pier, the crowd behind the tractor was almost swamped. The crowd had already spread the word to each other and knew that this fish was an earthquake fish.
There are various vehicles parked around the pier, including land trucks, flatbed trucks, and tractors moving goods. There are fishmongers coming and going, as well as coolies unloading and carrying fish, and there is a bustle of people...
When the tractor stopped, they felt unable to get off even if they wanted to.
"We don't have to go down. Let's stand higher up on the car and be more conspicuous, so as not to be crowded by people. What if some unscrupulous person takes a knife and slashes the fish several times? Isn't it a huge loss for me?"
"Yes, yes, just stand on the tractor to be safer."
Before they could shout, a group of people were chasing them and asking them about the fish in their hands. People who were working on the dock to receive the goods all gathered around to watch the fun, which shocked another group of people.
"How do you sell this oarfish?"
"Yeah, how do you sell this oarfish? I heard this is an earthquake fish..."
People nearby who didn't know anything about it asked questions one after another, and those who knew about it or had been educated on the topic quickly explained, and the scene was noisy.
But Ye Yaodong shouldn't be in a hurry. He must have given people some time to react when he first arrived.
The person below kept asking about the price, but he just said wait.
"Dongzi, how long do we have to wait?"
"Wait half an hour and take a look. You should also give some people time to react."
There were more and more people surrounding the tractor, and luckily they had a lot of helpers, so it wouldn't be tiring to carry the oarfish around for a while.
It wasn't until Ye Yaodong saw two motorcycle riders arriving not far away, and several bicycles next to them, that his eyes lit up. This seemed like a standard equipment for rich people.
Taking a closer look, it turned out that he was an old acquaintance, Hong Wenle, the prince of Hongsheng Hotel, and a middle-aged man riding a motorcycle who I didn't know who he was.
"Let me, let me, let our young master's family come in..."
"It's you, I'm an old acquaintance. Why haven't you brought the good goods to our hotel? You came outside the pier. I almost couldn't run when I heard the news."
Ye Yaodong greeted with a smile, "Don't you think this oarfish is too rare? Bring it to the pier. There are many people, so let's show off first."
"It's really rare. This kind of oarfish has never appeared in the local area. No one has even heard of it. Have you weighed it? How long and heavy is it? Do you need to ask someone to weigh it?"
"It's been weighed. It's 6.3 meters long and weighs 196 kilograms and 4 taels. If you're worried, you can borrow a scale from the dock and push it over."
"This is still trustworthy, how do you plan to sell it?"
"Damn, this fish is really quite big..."
A fat man with a big belly next to him also squeezed into the crowd. As soon as he finished sighing, he smiled and greeted Hong Wenle, "Why is my eldest nephew here too? Look at this, you still know this young man who sells fish."
"I have bought goods from him a few times, and he has rare things in his hands every once in a while. I haven't seen him for a while, and I actually got an oarfish? Uncle Cheng is quite well-informed? Surprisingly?
I also left my work in the shop and ran over."
"It's not like I heard that someone caught an oarfish, so it came out with long eyes. This fish is incredible. I heard that the ground will tremble when this fish appears. It has only existed in legends, and there are still people who can catch it.
arrive?"
"It is said to be so, but I don't know if it is, but rare is really rare. I have never seen such a long fish in my life..."
While they were talking, a few more men came in wearing Chinese tunic suits, shiny leather shoes, and hair waxed into a three-quarter length. They looked a bit dog-like.
Sure enough, all the rich people knew were rich people. After someone automatically opened the way, a few people actually greeted each other with smiles.
Boss Chen, are you here?
Boss Wang, are you here too?
Business is booming...
Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry. He watched them chatting with a smile and continued to look into the distance, wanting to see if there were any rich bosses.
After they had finished saying hello and exchanging pleasantries, they turned to him and asked him, how would he sell the fish?
Ye Yaodong looked at the time and felt that it was almost time, and then said: "This fish is called oarfish and also called earthquake fish. After a while, everyone should know it. I accidentally caught it at sea this morning. I just saw it at the beginning."
I was quite confused, I didn’t know what it was, but I later realized it was an oarfish.”
"I don't need to tell you how rare this fish is just by looking at its size. Everyone should know how rare it is. Most people may not be able to see it in their lifetime. Everyone must have heard about its legend just now. In the next few days, everyone will
Please be alert and don't sleep too hard at night."
Who knows whether there will be changes in two lifetimes? You still need to be reminded.
The boss below yelled, "We all know this, just tell us how you are going to sell your oarfish?"
Ye Yaodong looked at the boss in front of him with a smile, "Don't worry, listen to me first. This oarfish has been measured. It is 6 meters long and weighs 196 pounds and 4 taels. I believe that since you are here, you must want it.
Yes, after all, it has been rare to see it for decades. If you buy it, your face will be bright, and it will be more honorable to tell people about it."
"You bosses are big and strong, and you are extremely wealthy. You can tell at a glance that you are powerful. If you buy this fish back, you can brag to your descendants for decades, and your legend will be preserved in the town..."
"Hahaha... You are really good at talking. We can't even buy it if we don't buy it. Tell me quickly, how do you sell it?"
"Okay, it's getting late, and there are quite a lot of you, so let's bid directly. The base price is 300, and each increase will be no less than ten yuan. The higher bidder will win."
As soon as he shouted out the price, the crowd immediately went into an uproar. At this price, you can buy two pieces immediately. This is still the starting price. Except for the rich boss, no one in the unit can afford it.
Anyway, he doesn't intend to sell it to ordinary people, and ordinary people don't want to buy it.
Suddenly, everyone became excited again. Not only those who bought it back could brag about it, but they could also brag about it when they went back after seeing it with their own eyes.
"One weighs nearly 200 kilograms, and the starting price is 300 yuan. It's not expensive. I want to buy a rare one. I'll pay 350 yuan..."
"400..."
"420..."
"I'm 450..."
"I'll pay 500..."
These short fat guys are not short of money. In their port, the poor are really poor, but the rich are all extremely rich. Which one of the maritime smugglers has not had a hand in it? You can find a few with just a few fingers.
One hundred dollars.
The good thing about rich people is their face!
Such a big oarfish appeared in their port for the first time in history. Really, whoever bought it would be glowing when told about it, and it would spread widely.
It's not a waste, it's perfect for a family banquet. I said that I have eaten a 6-meter-long oarfish, which is the first one in the whole place.
Respectable people care about face. As for whether it tastes good? Is the meat quality good? You have to buy it and eat it to know. It is definitely not in their consideration range at the moment.
The bosses were all good at paying, and each one kept shouting prices higher and higher. When the price reached 800, none of them had the smiles they had at the beginning. They all looked like they were hiding their knives with a smile.
"Boss Chen, is this your problem? Why do you follow me every time I increase the price, but you don't follow others when they increase their prices?"
"What did Boss Li say? We are all friends. Who will increase the price depends on others?"
"You can't say for sure. When did you have a problem with me?"
Hong Wenle said with a smile: "Uncles, it's better not to argue, so as not to hurt the harmony, leave it to me. I'll set up a table in the hotel at 820 tonight. How about we all come together to have a try?"
Everyone smiled and said nothing, looking at each other half-smilingly. Is it possible that the gift someone else invited is the same as the one you bought home? If you can’t tell, it’s not yours.
Ye Yaodong smiled at the side, "The asking price is 820. A fish weighing almost 200 kilograms is not expensive at just over 4 yuan a kilogram. This is an oarfish weighing nearly 200 kilograms. It is rare to find, and maybe you will only see it in this life.
one time……"
