Even though the sun was sunny and the wind was not very strong, the sea water was swaying, which still made the boat seem a bit bumpy. At this moment, except for a few regular rowers, everyone on the boat opened their eyes wide and looked at Shen You with some dumbfounded eyes.
The throwing hook floated a beautiful bindweed in the sky, and then it suddenly fell into the sea like an arrow leaving the string. Shen You used his wrist forcefully to lift the throwing hook onto the boat. At the top of the throwing hook, there was a The greyish-green mackerel, about half as long as an arm, was making its final flip on the board of the boat.
Shen You ignored everyone's surprised looks and threw the hook in his hand continuously. After a while, there were more than ten large mackerel on the boat. Uncle Tiedan stared at the young man in front of him in surprise for a long time. Just then he said: "How domineering! Now you can sell it for a few bucks when you enter the city! There are not a lot of mackerel in this spring. According to my experience in going to the city before, people in the city still prefer to eat this kind of fish. !”
Everyone looked at Shen You with envy. Shen You smiled slightly and said to everyone: "We will divide these fish when the time comes! I have to thank everyone for taking care of me along the way."
Yanhai City is located in the east of Shandong, with mountains and the sea, and a pleasant climate. It is one of the few beautiful cities in China. As soon as the ship docked, people gathered around it. Fortunately, Uncle Tiedan had been to the city twice and knew that these people were all here. He was a seafood seller. Most of them were used to supply restaurants in the city. Just when he wanted to have all the fish brought to the shore, Shen You gently pressed his arm and said to him: "Take the fish first." Five."
After all, Uncle Tiedan was a rough fisherman. Within a few months of being together with Shen You, he had already unconsciously regarded his words as creed. He immediately followed what he said and ordered several young people to take five pieces first. The mackerel has arrived on the shore.
Although Shen You had expected Zhao Tiedan to do as he said without even asking him, but considering that Zhao Tiedan was an elder after all, he still explained to him politely: "Uncle Tiedan, I The master told me a story before, it’s called rare goods. If we take less, we might be able to sell them at a better price. Of course, you also said that the mackerel in this season is quite popular, so we take less for the sake of it. Don’t make people jealous.”
Although he didn't think too much about it, Zhao Tiedan was still very happy when he heard Shen You take the initiative to explain, and grinned at him with the usual simplicity of a fisherman.
After all, mackerel has more flesh and less spines, so it is very popular among city people, so as soon as it was brought to the shore, it was immediately surrounded by fishmongers. On the one hand, everyone was impressed by the size of the mackerel, and on the other hand, they also started to trade. Customary inquiries between.
The young people who came to land with Zhao Tiedan were all leaving the island for the first time. When they arrived at the edge of the city, they were dazzled by the hustle and bustle that was different from that on the island. At this moment, when they saw so many people gathered around to ask about the price, they were immediately stunned. Feeling at a loss, he couldn't help but cast his inquiring gaze on Zhao Tiedan behind him.
Most of those fishmongers are smart people, and everyone knows that Zhao Tiedan is the person in charge here. Although everyone knows that mackerel is more expensive this season, due to the profit-seeking nature of businessmen, everyone gathered around them. It was a polite exchange of greetings.
About three to five minutes later, someone finally couldn't hold himself back and asked Zhao Tiedan: "Fellow, what price are you going to charge for this mackerel?"
Although Zhao Tiedan has been to the city, it was only twice after all. Especially the first time he came here to see the world. There was no difference between these raw melon eggs that came out this time. At this time, everyone started to inquire about prices. , couldn't hold it back for a long time, and opened his mouth to speak, but at this moment, he felt Shen You quietly tugging on the back of his clothes from behind.
Although he didn't know what Shen You meant, he knew that Shen You must have an idea. He immediately coughed and made a posture of thinking. Little did he know that in the eyes of those fishmongers, this posture was exactly the one waiting for a price. After all, this Mackerel in season can indeed be purchased at a high price. Immediately, a few people began to lose control and began to comment on the Spanish mackerel.
"Why does this mackerel have such a big hole in its body? It's not in very good condition."
"Well, yes, yes, and this is too big, bigger than what we have seen before. It will definitely not be easy for the hotel to accept it..."
Hearing someone speak, others immediately understood their thoughts and began to rush to agree.
Hearing that the fishmongers were starting to find fault, Shen You had a faint smile on his lips. However, Zhao Tiedan beside him was no longer so calm. He couldn't help but stammered and said: "This, this, can be found in this season, If there are fish, that would be great..."
It was a good thing that he didn't speak. Once he spoke, it would be like exposing his thoughts to the fishmongers. Sure enough, when the fishmongers heard his stammering voice, they guessed that he was definitely not a quick-thinking person and immediately ignored him. He and a few others just gathered around the lifeless mackerel and continued to talk.
Just when everyone was commenting on Mackerel, a somewhat arrogant voice sounded from behind everyone!
"Oh, I heard there are good goods! Why are you planning to exclude me, Ma, from this matter?" When the fishmonger who was still around just now heard this voice, he immediately fell silent. Several people Looking behind him with some embarrassment, a gap that could pass through people couldn't help but flash out from among the crowd.
Shen You looked up and saw a short, fat man who was only 1.6 meters tall walking over. If it weren't for the fact that this short fat man was very white, Shen You would have almost thought he was Niu Ba who took him in back then.
I saw this short fat man with a white face and no beard. He was wearing a suit that was different from the ordinary fishmonger. Although the suit was slightly stained with oil, and there were two lean men behind the short fat man, it gave people a vague feeling of dominance. Feel.
Sure enough, the short fat man walked up to Zhao Tiedan, bowed slightly, and said to him: "You two, my surname is Ma, and my name is Ma Heng. All the brothers in this area call me Lord Ma. Of course, so do I. Such a silly president." As for Shen You, after all, he still looked very young. He just regarded him as Zhao Tiedan's nephew and didn't even look at him.
After finishing speaking, they saw that Zhao Tiedan and the others had no reaction, and then they seemed to understand the reason, and added to Zhao Tiedan: "I will take care of everyone who sells and sells seafood in this area."
Having said this, even Zhao Tiedan, no matter how honest he was, understood Ma Heng's identity. He immediately smiled innocently, nodded to Ma Heng, and bowed as if he wanted to say something more, but he didn't know where to say it. rise.
Ma Heng seemed to be very satisfied with Zhao Tiedan's expression, and said to Zhao Tiedan: "Well, I really like the mackerel you made this time. It's your first time to buy and sell here. You have to pay tax. I Knowing that you don't have much money, I took this fish. Of course, Mr. Ma is not an unreasonable person, and I will definitely give you some money." As he spoke, he took out a handful of small coins from his arms. He took Zhao Tiedan's hand and pushed it in. The man following him tied the five mackerels from their gills with wires and lifted them up.
When the fishmongers saw this situation, they didn't say anything. The other two people started to disperse as soon as Ma Heng arrived. Zhao Tiedan took the money in his hand and said unwillingly: "Brother, this fish..."
Ma Hengyi turned around and said to him: "Why, it's not possible without paying taxes. It's good if I can give you money to buy yours. Ask them who dares to buy yours!" After saying that, he pointed his finger at the still. The fishmonger who didn't disperse poked at him. Wherever he pointed, the fishmongers quickly lowered their heads...
Looking at the retreating figures of Ma Heng and his two men, Zhao Tiedan was fuming and speechless. Shen You coughed softly from behind and said, "Uncle Tiedan, don't we still have one?"
Zhao Tiedan just reacted and slowly calmed down. After all, there are still more than ten. Besides, strong dragons can't overwhelm local snakes. Judging from the appearance of those fishmongers, no one dares to challenge him. They just spend money to buy one. It was safe. Thinking of this, Zhao Tiedan felt relieved.
Just when he wanted people to go back to the boat to get the fish, Shen You said softly to him: "Don't worry, let's go eat first. Just leave one person on the boat to watch first." Zhao Tiedan thought it was reasonable, after all, he was at sea. For nearly a day, although I brought pancakes to eat on the boat, it was still not comfortable after all. I immediately left one person behind and took the others to drink a noodle soup.
After eating, I brought a big bowl to the young people watching the boat. I felt very comfortable after eating the hot soup. It was almost noon now, and most of the fishmongers had already started to send the collected fish to restaurants or other places. After dinner, only a handful of people who had not received any seafood were still hanging around.
Shen You asked Zhao Tiedan to bring over the fish, there were still five fish. After taking these five fish, there were only seven fish left. Sure enough, as soon as he brought them over, several people who had not received the seafood were like bloody mosquitoes at the same time. They generally gathered around.
In the end, Zhao Tiedan chose a person who was slightly lame, offered a relatively high amount of money, and seemed to be more loyal, and made the deal. Just as he was calculating the money with that person, he suddenly came running from a distance. several people.
Shen You looked up and saw the fat man named Ma Heng who was leading the way. He saw the fat man trotting over, followed by seven or eight gangster-looking people. Shen You saw this group of people appearing here and secretly felt Not good.
Sure enough, after the group of people arrived in front of them, Ma Heng said with a cold face to the person who was about to give money: "Li Zizi, you are so fucking brave. Have you paid your taxes today before you dare to start?" trade."
Li Laizi quickly smiled flatteringly and said: "President Ma, I'll hand it over now. How much do you think is appropriate?"
Ma Heng ignored Li Laizi, turned to look at Zhao Tiedan and said with a smile: "This old man, it's you again!" The smiling look was in sharp contrast to the one just now, which directly made people feel and The two extremes are common.
Zhao Tiedan said nervously: "Well, um, the horse racing association chief, we can pay the tax. You just collected it when we got off the boat!"
"Yes! But brother, you are so mean. It's not like I didn't give you money. I bought you a fish just now. Now if you sell the fish to someone else, aren't you going to slap me in the face?"
