Chapter 9 Toyosu Market

It’s early morning at 4 or 5 o’clock in Tokyo. The sun has not yet risen, but half of the sky has turned slightly white.

The silent and deserted steel city gives people the illusion of sleeping in a blue world.

The nearby birds have come out to forage, hiding in different trees, chatting loudly about their harvest.

Lin Daoge pushed the little sheep in the alley onto the main road, yawning and wearing a motorcycle helmet.

Even if he knows martial arts, he still has to abide by traffic laws, and he doesn't practice Tietou Gong.

When I was in Liangshanbo, I was used to getting up at this hour to practice Qigong every day. After more than ten years of habit, I have unconsciously formed a biological clock.

Even if you no longer keep practicing, your body will still wake up automatically on time.

And he is the kind of person who finds it difficult to fall asleep again after waking up. In order not to waste time, he set this time period as the restocking time of the small restaurant.

I sat astride the cute little sheep spray-painted and pulled up the collar of my windbreaker. Due to the current season and the early hours of the morning, the temperature of the air was already a bit low. I had no internal energy to protect myself from the cold and could only rely on my clothes to keep warm.

"Let's go, Donghai Emperor~Emperor-! Xululu~" In the voice of Lin Daoge, the little sheep drove towards the largest Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, also known as Toyosu Market.

One of the reasons why he moved to Koto Ward in the first place was because it was close to Tsukiji Market, which made it easier for him to buy fresh fish.

The cold wind along the way did not cause him any harm. He had already prepared a full set of riding equipment. The windshielding transparent plastic visor on the helmet was full-face, which protected his head and face well.

The cold wind is blowing. The windbreaker has a high collar and long sleeves. Pulling up the collar can not only lock in the temperature and prevent the cold wind from outside. You don’t need to wear gloves for your hands. After a while, the weather will get colder.

It's not too late to change it later.

Because it is so close, we can get to Tsukiji Market very quickly. There are many trucks parked outside the market. These are purchased from various areas in Tokyo. If you come here an hour or two earlier, you will see more cars.

.Because the most lively competition stage has passed now, a lot of high-end seafood has been snapped up by those people shouting prices, so a lot of cars have gone, although there is still a lot left.

Fortunately, his small shop doesn't do high-end seafood dishes, so he doesn't have to compete with those people to buy it.

Park the little sheep at the designated parking place, tie it with a chain, and fasten a few locks before you feel at ease. Even though Tokyo is an international city, the crime rate has always been high.

The police here are not very good at catching crimes, but they are very good at catching illegal parking. If you are found to be parking illegally according to the regulations, the fine is only a minor matter. They will also fine you through labor reform, which is social volunteer work such as picking up garbage.

.

After parking the car, from a distance, he saw a large group of people surrounding the entrance of Tsukiji Market. Since it is human nature to watch the excitement, he could not be the monkey who broke away from the monkeys.

Walking to the outside of the crowd, with the advantage of being 1.83 meters tall, I had a panoramic view of the scenery that was one altitude higher.

A simple small platform was set up in the middle of the crowd. On a large square table on the platform, there was a giant dark blue fish. The fish body was spindle-shaped and thick, with a conical snout, a large mouth, a thin caudal peduncle, and a new tail fin.

Moon-shaped, with 1 large and 2 small raised ridges on each side, blue-black back and silvery-white abdomen, so it is also called bluefin tuna.

"Wow~ This bluefin tuna is really big, at least over 400 kilograms." A patrol inspector pushing a bicycle happened to come over and stood next to Lin Daoge. Judging from his appearance and age, he should be an inspector general.

"Do you know what kind of event this is?" Lin Daoge asked casually.

"Oh~ are you asking me? Young man"

After seeing Lin Daoge nodding, he turned back again, watching the people on the stage busy setting up, and answering Lin Daoge's questions.

"You have asked the right person now. I happen to know that this is an official event held by Tsukiji Market to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the relocation. When I submitted the application for the event, I happened to be the one to receive it, so I am here today to maintain order on site and prevent things from happening.

Unexpected circumstances”

"The prize is the bluefin tuna that was just landed early this morning."

"The Tsukiji Market is pretty generous," Lin Daoge sighed after hearing this.

"Yes, if this fish is auctioned, it will cost at least 40 million yen."

"40 million~" After hearing the price, Lin Daoge rubbed his chin with his hand, showing interest.

"Then do you know how this event determines the prize?"

“I heard that the winner is determined by competing to dissect the fish.”

"Oh~? Where can I sign up for the event?"

"Can't you tell, young man, you are also a fish filleter?"

"No, I'm a chef. I've been opening the store for half a year. What's wrong? Doesn't it look like it?"

"If you don't tell me, I still can't tell. So, do you see that person over there holding a writing tablet? That's the person in charge of registration." The inspector pointed to a person in the distance holding a writing tablet and pen.

The middle-aged man who was talking to others said.

"Then I'll sign up first, thank you." Lin Daoge thanked the inspector general and walked quickly towards the staff member.

"If you didn't tell me, I would have thought you were a Yakuza," the inspector said in a low voice after he left.

"Yes, that's it. This is your competition number. Please take it." As he approached, a participant and staff member in front of him had just finished their conversation.

"Hello, is this the registration point for the event?" Lin Daoge seamlessly took over from the previous one and asked as he stepped forward.

"Yes, sir, do you want to sign up?" The other party looked a little surprised when he saw the young Lin Daoge, but he quickly replied and asked.

"Yes, but I would like to know about the competition content and registration requirements"

"No problem. The event we are organizing this time is a competition to dissect the tuna the fastest and best. If there is a mistake during the dissection of the fish, it will be regarded as a failure. Then on this basis, the fastest one will be selected as the winner.

, you can get the bluefin tuna we provide.”

"Because the competition requires the use of ordinary tuna as the competition material, registration requires a registration fee of 3 million yen. The registration fee will not be refunded, but you can take away the tuna used in the competition."

"Hmm~ Then sign up for me. This is my bank card. Can you swipe it here?" After thinking for a while, Lin Daoge felt that it was not difficult. As long as he won the game, he could sell the fish to the seafood dealers here.

Business, make a huge profit. Immediately take out the bank card in your wallet from your trouser pocket and ask.

Japanese people usually use cash and credit cards to complete transactions. Online payments are only used for large-amount transactions. Don't even think about what kind of treasures, what kind of letters, and those mobile phone payments. Those big chaebols in Japan don't

We will allow new things like this to emerge and get a share of their pie locally.

Therefore, Lin Daoge had to bring two wallets with him every time he went out, one for banknotes and bank cards, and one for coins.

"Okay, please enter your password. Well, okay, please fill in your personal information..." The staff member skillfully took out a card reader from his pocket and quickly operated it.
