Chapter 708 Fat Fishmonger
Lao Tang never bought shrimps, but during festivals or when he is happy, he would occasionally eat a meal and buy a few shrimps to go back.
At this time, Tang Yuting pulled Li Xuan's arm and whispered: "Brother Xuan, this mantis shrimp is expensive, it's not cost-effective. It costs about 300 yuan per pound. On average, it's only three in two pounds. You may have customers at night. If you buy the peel shrimp, it costs 40 to 50 yuan per pound, and 100 yuan per pound, and about ten in two pounds."
The thin seafood order boss pulled a very solid black bag specially used for seafood from the shelves, and smiled and said, "Tang Yuting, I just talked about my boyfriend, and I knew that I had helped save money. There are also Pipi shrimps. Today's Pipi shrimps are of good quality and they are almost considered shrimps. A regular customer, you are 42 yuan per catty. I sell them forty-five yuan for others. In that aquarium, the shrimps are fresh. I will pick them up and eat them well before they come."
Tang Yuting took the bag and blinked her eyes, then turned to look at Li Xuan, "Brother Xuan, let's go pick shrimps."
Li Xuan smiled and shook his head, "Wait first."
Then Li Xuan pointed his finger at a large water tank, "How to buy this eel?"
The thin boss looked back at the water tank, then gave Li Xuan a thumbs up, "You can eat it. This season, this weather requires me to eat eels to drive away the cold and warm up your body. Moreover, this is an eel. I like to sacrifice in clean and pollution-free waters. It is the cleanest fish. Eating it regularly can prolong life. 2281 pounds, should I come to the previous one?"
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, "The eels raised are more than 200 per pound?"
"It's raised, but this is the top eel. In the purest waters, the best breeds that are hybridized are nutritious and cleaner than wild ones. If you don't believe it, buy one, I will kill the fish and eat a piece of it raw in front of you. There is no parasite on the eel, and the taste is as sweet as sugar." said the thin boss.
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Then I'd better look at something else."
"Okay, just look at it. The things in my store are all good and cheap. Otherwise, your girlfriend's family wouldn't have done business with me for so many years. She is an old acquaintance. I can't cheat anyone, let alone the business is about integrity, and I won't cheat anyone." said the thin boss.
Li Xuan nodded with a smile, walked in, and then stood in front of an aquarium.
This aquarium contains some mantis shrimp kings.
These mantis shrimp kings are very big. Li Xuan estimated that the weight may be only more than eight taels. Each one looks almost as thick as a wrist with a slim figure.
"Boss, how much does this cost per pound?" Li Xuan asked.
The thin boss looked at the eel box next to him, glanced at Tang Yuting, and said, "This is the mantis shrimp king. Today, the quality of this batch of mantis shrimp king is very good, so the price is indeed a bit high. Pipi shrimp is in the water tank below."

Li Xuan was slightly stunned and then laughed silently. This boss is interesting.
Tang Yuting walked over at this time. She bent down and looked carefully in the water tank below. Then she raised her head and looked at Li Xuan in surprise and said, "Brother Xuan, these shrimps are indeed considered shrimps. Look at this one, they are all bigger than old popsicles."
Li Xuan smiled and said, "The quality of these mantis shrimp kings today is also very good. Moreover, if the guests come tonight, I will look petty if I don't need to be entertained by the mantis shrimp king."
Tang Yuting looked at Li Xuan, then stood up straight and nodded, "Boss, how much does this mantis shrimp king cost per pound?"
When the thin shop owner saw that there was a chance, he quickly said, "Today, this is the best-quality mantis shrimp king. I sell it to others. It's 351 pounds, which is not a penny. But who told you that I watched you grow up? You took your girlfriend to your uncle's store for the first time and I would give you some discounts, which is 320 yuan per pound."
After saying that, the thin boss stared at Li Xuan, trying to see if this price would scare Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was about to speak out. This price is indeed not cheap, but this size of mantis shrimp king is indeed worth the price.
Even if it is artificially bred, this type of mantis shrimp king is very uncommon. It is very difficult to breed, and the loss in the middle is not enough to be wise for outsiders.
At this moment, a car horn sounded outside the store.
A fishery transport truck stopped at the door of the aquatic products store, and a fat driver stretched out his head, "Boss, the swift crab you want is here to deliver to you."
The thin boss ran out and said, "Oh, why did the boss come to deliver the goods in person?"
"I harvested fishing at the pier. Anyway, it's not far from the pier, so I came by myself." The fat pierced driver jumped out of the car and walked into the store. "How is the business in the store recently? I heard, huh."
The fat driver looked at Li Xuan in a daze. After a moment, he quickly touched his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes from it. "Li Longtou, we are really destined to meet at the dock. I didn't expect to meet again here."
Li Xuan also recognized the fat driver, the fishmonger who asked him to talk to him and talked a lot.
"Thank you, I can't smoke. It's really a coincidence. I didn't expect that you were supplying the goods in this store." Li Xuan said with a smile.
"Hi, I've had an old cooperative relationship for more than ten years, but this is a fishery market. I don't have so many goods to supply them. In this whole seafood market, every store will basically get some goods from me, but they have their own purchasing channels. The amount I supply alone is not enough to plug the teeth, and it's almost the same for you to come."
The fat fish dealer glanced at the black bag that Tang Yuting was holding next to Li Xuan, and immediately said in surprise: "Li Longtou, are you buying aquatic products here?"
The thin shop owner looked at the fat fishmonger in surprise, "Li Longtou?"
Li Xuan smiled, first hugged the thin boss and clasped his fists, "Help take care of him in the future."
Then Li Xuan pointed to the mantis shrimp kings and said to the fat fishmonger, "Those captains and engineers in the evening should be coming to my house. I was in a hurry and had nothing to prepare, so I came here to buy some vegetables."
