Chapter 195 Price is better than gold! Date with Ding Xiaoxiang
Zhao Dahai hurried back to the pier. The tricycle he rode last night was placed on the edge of the pier, just in time for use. The refrigerator on the fishing boat was carried onto the pier in one go, and he put it on the car and went home directly.
Zhong Cuihua stood at the door. She couldn't sleep at five o'clock in the morning. She had been waiting since she got up. When she saw Zhao Dahai riding a tricycle in a hurry, she was about to speak, but she immediately swallowed it and pushed open the courtyard door.
Zhao Dahai didn't say anything, the tricycle rode directly into the yard, and Zhong Cuihua immediately closed the door.
"Did you catch it?"
Zhong Cuihua suppressed her voice.
Zhao Dahai took a look and found that grandma Zhong Cuihua's voice was trembling when she spoke. She was excited, so he nodded with a smile.
"grandmother!"
"Caught!"
Zhao Dahai was not surprised at all that grandma Zhong Cuihua was excited.
The large yellow croaker has a different meaning to the people in the fishing village. It is not only the high price that can be sold, but more importantly, catching such a fish often means making a fortune. Over time, as long as the large yellow croaker is caught, no matter how big it is,
They were all pleasantly surprised.
Zhao Dahai found a bamboo dustpan, covered it with a thick layer of crushed ice, opened the lid of the refrigerator, and took out all four large yellow croakers.
"ah?"
"The small one weighs two or three kilograms, right? Why is the big one so big? It must weigh about ten kilograms, right?"
Zhong Cuihua was startled and took out four large yellow croakers. They were wrapped in red plastic bags and it was hard to see what they looked like, but they were really big, especially the largest one, which weighed more than ten pounds and could not escape.
"Why!"
"grandmother!"
"You have such a magical eye!"
"The big one must weigh more than ten pounds."
Zhao Dahai stayed up all night and didn't feel tired at all. These fish had to be taken out and rearranged.
"quick!"
"Hurry up and call Grandpa Second over!"
Zhong Cuihua patted Zhao Dahai on the shoulder.
"ah?"
"What are you looking for for Grandpa Second?"
Zhao Dahai was a little strange. He didn't know why he was looking for Zhao Shi now.
"A few taels of large yellow croaker is not worth much, so you can do whatever you want, but this is a fish of two or three kilograms. The key is that this fish weighs more than ten kilograms. You can't handle it without experience."
"The key is to ask how to sell this fish? What price can it be sold for?!"
Zhong Cuihua knew that Zhao Dahai had no experience, so the small size of the large yellow croaker was not important. These large yellow croakers were very valuable, so they had to be careful.
Zhao Dahai immediately went out and went to Zhao Shi's home. He shouted and opened the courtyard door and saw his second grandfather, Zhao Shi, sitting on a small stool smoking a cigarette.
"What happened?"
"In a hurry?!"
Zhao Shi was very surprised as to why Zhao Dahai came to see him so early in the morning.
"Second Grandpa!"
"I caught a big yellow croaker!"
"Grandma asked me to come over and call you, saying I have no experience!"
Zhao Dahai spoke directly.
"ah?"
“Did you catch a big yellow croaker?”
"How big is the big yellow croaker?!"
Zhao Shi stood up suddenly and looked at Zhao Dahai with wide eyes.
"Four!"
"Three of them are all two or three pounds, and one is bigger, over ten pounds!"
Zhao Dahai gestured as he spoke.
"What?"
"Two or three pounds?"
"Is there one that weighs more than ten pounds?"
Zhao Shi was so frightened that he dropped the hookah he was carrying on the ground.
When Zhao Dahai saw it, he immediately walked over and picked it up.
Zhao Shi composed himself, turned around and left without saying a word.
Zhao Dahai followed Zhao Shi back to his home carrying a hookah.
Zhao Shi walked into the courtyard gate and saw a large dustpan on the ground with ice underneath and four fish all wrapped in red tape.
"OK!"
"You kid finally understands something!"
Zhao Shi breathed a sigh of relief. On the way here, he was very worried that Zhao Dahai was inexperienced and caught large yellow croakers and kept them in the living cabin or in the refrigerator. Now it looked like he was well prepared.
"Hey!"
"I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs running away. After all, I grew up in a fishing village, so I must have heard of these things."
Zhao Dahai was a little proud.
"quick!"
“Get a big enough freezer!”
"Put a layer of ten centimeters of crushed ice underneath!"
…
"Come!"
“Take care of the smallest one first!”
…
"Now these fish are frozen and semi-hard, let's open them and take a look."
“Have all the fish’s tail and fins been straightened out?”
"What is not straightened out must be straightened out!"
…
"You have to be careful not to lose your scales!"
"Be careful when opening the bag, don't lose the scales."
"If one scale is missing, the appearance will be ruined, and at least you won't be able to see Qianer800!"
…
"Get it sorted and straightened out!"
"Put it on ice!"
“Covered with crushed ice!”
"You have to pay attention to the fact that the head and tail of the fish must be properly padded. The fish should look exactly like it normally does in the water and cannot bend."
…
Zhao Shi didn't take any action, he just moved his mouth and gave instructions to Zhao Dahai to start sorting out these large yellow croakers. This kind of thing requires patience and experience. When repairing fishing boats, he knew that Zhao Dahai was very patient in doing things, so just giving him some advice and experience would be enough.
Zhao Dahai conscientiously followed Zhao Shi's instructions and reminders and rearranged all the large yellow croakers. It took almost an hour just for the large yellow croaker that weighed more than ten kilograms.
Zhao Dahai closed the lid of the refrigerator, tied it tightly with a rope, washed his hands, poured two glasses of water, handed one to Zhao Shi, took one himself, drank several sips, took a deep breath, and sorted out these
The big yellow croaker is more tiring than fishing.
"Second Grandpa!"
"What's the current price of these large yellow croakers?"
Zhao Dahai really doesn't know the market situation of large yellow croaker. Grandma Zhong Cuihua is right. You really need to ask Zhao Shi about this matter.
"Three years ago, someone set out a fishing net and caught a fish weighing one pound or two."
"Sold for 20,000 yuan!"
Zhao Shi glanced at the refrigerator.
The price of a large yellow croaker depends not only on its size but also on its appearance. The fish that sold for 20,000 yuan was indeed quite big, but it was caught in a fishing net and had lost a lot of its scales and was even a little injured.
.These large yellow croakers caught by Zhao Dahai have just been weighed. One weighs two catties and two taels, one weighs three catties and one tael, one weighs three catties and five taels, and the largest one weighs eleven catties and one tael. These few
The fish are all caught in the fishing mouth, and are handled very promptly and properly. They are all golden in color. The scales are intact and there are no injuries at all. The bigger the fish is, the better the appearance is, and the price will definitely be higher.
"Ah? These fish of mine can't be sold for more than 100,000 yuan?"
Zhao Dahai was shocked. He had known that the large yellow croaker was valuable, but he did not expect it to be so valuable.
"snort"
“I’m holding a golden mountain and I don’t even know it!”
"Hundreds of thousands?"
"This one is bigger than ever!"
"Two pounds of large yellow croaker can be sold for 20,000 yuan. Three pounds of large yellow croaker can be sold for 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Four pounds of large yellow croaker can be sold for 50,000 or 60,000 yuan."
“There are very few large yellow croakers exceeding five kilograms, and the price depends on the fish.”
"This one weighs more than ten pounds, how much do you think it can be sold for?"
Zhao Shi glared at Zhao Dahai. Fortunately, he was here, otherwise he would have to sell it at a low price.
Zhao Dahai was a little embarrassed. He really didn't expect it to be so valuable. According to Zhao Shi, at this price, a ten-pound fish might be sold for 200,000 yuan.
crazy!
This is really crazy!
No wonder people say that large yellow croaker is a gold bar fish, it is really more expensive than gold.
Zhao Dahai suddenly thought of the big speedboat he saw a few days ago. He originally thought that it would take at least half a year or even a year to save enough money, and he would have to go out fishing desperately to do it. Unexpectedly,
In the blink of an eye, I have earned enough in just one or two days.
Zhao Shi told Zhao Dahai, don't be in a hurry to sell these large yellow croakers, you can sell the smallest one to try and see what the price is.
Zhao Dahai nodded immediately, this is a good idea.
Zhao Shi sat for a while, and when he left, he told Zhao Dahai to check the refrigerator frequently. It would be better to buy a large electric refrigerator from the town.
Zhao Dahai sent Zhao Shi away. When he came back, he discussed with his grandma Zhong Cuihua and decided to buy a large electric refrigerator now. A few large yellow croakers would not be sold in a short time. Even if they were sold, the refrigerator could be used normally.
You can also use it when you catch some valuable fish.
Zhao Dahai finished breakfast and stayed up all night, but now was not the time to rest. He took a small refrigerator, filled it with the smallest large yellow croaker, and rode a tricycle to the town. One of them went to buy a refrigerator immediately, and the other one
Take this fish to Liu Gang's restaurant to see what price it can sell for. If the price is right, sell it. If the price is not right, bring it back. Find someone to sell it to again when you find time.
Zhao Dahai rushed to the town and immediately went to see the refrigerator. The shops in the small town opened early for business. It was easy to do things if you had money. It didn't take long to buy a cabinet refrigerator, paid the deposit, and agreed.
Deliver it to the village and to your doorstep before noon.
After Zhao Dahai finished buying the refrigerator, he rode a tricycle to the entrance of Liu Gang's Hongyun Restaurant. From a distance, he saw Ding Xiaoxiang who had just sold the fish. He rode his bicycle back and went over immediately.
Ding Xiaoxiang had just finished selling fish, shrimp and crab, and after riding for about ten meters, she looked up and saw Zhao Dahai coming on a tricycle.
ah?
Why are you so late today?
Ding Xiaoxiang originally wanted to go back to the fish market immediately, but when she saw Zhao Dahai, she stopped for a moment and wanted to see what fish, shrimps and crabs were sold today.
"Xiaoxiang."
"See you at the same place tonight!"
"I caught a big yellow croaker! It's very big! Let me show it to you!"
When Zhao Dahai passed in front of Ding Xiaoxiang, he said something in a low voice.
Ding Xiaoxiang was startled.
Big yellow croaker?
A huge yellow croaker?
Ding Xiaoxiang's eyes immediately widened and she couldn't believe her ears.
"I have one of the smallest ones in my car. Bring it to Liu Gang to see what the price is."
"How about you come with me and take a look?"
Zhao Dahai pointed to the refrigerator on his tricycle.
Ding Xiaoxiang nodded immediately, parked her tricycle next to her, and followed Zhao Dahai back to Liu Gang's restaurant.
When Liu Gang saw Zhao Dahai, he immediately came over and looked at the tricycle. There was only a small refrigerator, but the large water tank was empty, with no fish, shrimps or crabs.
"ha!"
"Zhao Dahai."
"How about drinking tea in my office?!"
Liu had just finished harvesting the fish and was pretty busy in the morning. Zhao Dahai came to his place and sold a lot of good fish. It seemed that he was not here to sell fish today. He went to his office to sit down and have a cup of tea and chat.
Zhao Dahai didn't want to open the small refrigerator he brought in front of the restaurant, and he didn't want others to see that he had caught a large yellow croaker. Liu Gang said this, and he got what he wanted. He stopped the tricycle, picked up the small refrigerator, and followed Liu Gang into the restaurant.
Liu Gang was stunned for a moment, wondering why Zhao Dahai was carrying a small refrigerator.
"I have security guards here who tell them to just keep an eye on it!"
Liu Gang pointed to the security guard standing at the door of the ninth floor.
Zhao Dahai said nothing and shook his head.
Liu Gang now understood that there must be something in the refrigerator. He was very curious about what it was. He walked quickly into the restaurant and went directly to his office and opened the door.
"ah?"
"Ding Xiaoxiang."
"Why are you following me?"
Liu Gang looked back and saw Ding Xiaoxiang quietly following behind him and Zhao Dahai.
"Hee hee hee!"
"I know Zhao Dahai."
Ding Xiaoxiang pointed at Zhao Dahai.
"OK!"
"If Zhao Dahai has no objection, I have no objection."
"What's in the box?"
Liu Gang was very curious and didn't know what was in the box Zhao Dahai brought in.
Zhao Dahai put down the box, opened the lid, pulled off the crushed ice covering it, and carefully took out the large yellow croaker.
When Liu Gang saw the red plastic bag, an idea flashed through his mind and he couldn't help but blurt it out.
"ah?!"
"It's not a big yellow croaker, is it?"
Liu Gang is very experienced and knows that only large yellow croaker can be packaged in this way, and other fish will not be wrapped in a red bag anyway.
Qi Dahai didn't say anything. He held the large yellow croaker in one hand and smoothed the ice in the box with the other hand. He carefully opened the bag, took out the large yellow croaker, and placed it on the ice with a red plastic bag.
"ah!"
“It’s really a big yellow croaker!”
Ding Xiaoxiang exclaimed. Zhao Dahai had just said that he caught a large yellow croaker, but he was still very surprised when he actually saw a large yellow croaker.
"real!"
“It’s really a big yellow croaker!”
Liu Gang was surprised and happy. It was really a big yellow croaker and it weighed more than two kilograms.
"Sell or not?"
Liu Gang immediately asked.
Zhao Dahai nodded and sold it if the price was right. He weighed it on the scale last night at two pounds and two ounces.
"Twenty-two thousand yuan!"
Liu Gang couldn't wait to make an offer immediately.
When Ding Xiaoxiang heard from the side that Liu Gang had quoted this price, she immediately pouted.
Twenty-two thousand yuan?
How is this price possible?
Twenty-two thousand yuan is indeed a good price, but it is definitely not the market price of this large yellow croaker. Half a month ago, my father Ding Chongshan bought one weighing 90 taels per catty and sold it for 21,000 yuan. This one in front of me
It's heavier, a full three ounces heavier. After the large yellow croaker weighs more than a pound, every difference of one ounce is a different price.
Ding Xiaoxiang was very worried that Zhao Dahai nodded in agreement, but this time the situation was different from the last Panzi. She couldn't bargain. When she found herself standing next to Liu Gang, she quickly took a step back secretly so that Liu Gang couldn't see her.
He immediately winked at Zhao Dahai, put his right hand beside his leg, and gestured with three fingers.
Zhao Dahai stood opposite Liu Gang and Ding Xiaoxiang. When he saw it, he understood that he was selling himself for 30,000 yuan.
"Why!"
"Boss Liu."
"I won't bargain with you for other fish, shrimps and crabs."
"But this large yellow croaker is very rare, and the price you are offering is not acceptable."
"Three years ago, someone caught a large yellow croaker weighing two pounds or one tael and sold it for 20,000 yuan."
"That's a large yellow croaker caught in a fishing net. It must have lost a lot of scales and so on, so it can be sold at this price."
"The one I have weighs two pounds and is bigger, and it is a large yellow croaker from the fishing port. It is in complete condition."
"Twenty-two thousand yuan is definitely not enough."
Zhao Dahai shook his head directly.
Liu Gang didn't believe what Zhao Dahai said about other fish, shrimps and crabs without bargaining. The price he offered without bargaining was very good. Zhao Dahai was very smart. Whenever the price he offered was a little bit different, he didn't hesitate to bargain. Now
That's it. I originally thought that large yellow croakers were relatively rare, so Zhao Dahai might not know the market price. Unexpectedly, he was very knowledgeable and knew everything about the fish three years ago.
"How much do you think it will cost?"
Liu Gang did not continue to raise prices and asked Zhao Dahai how much he wanted.
"Forty thousand dollars!"
"I won't sell it for less than this price! I'll take it back and wait to see if anyone wants it!"
Zhao Dahai didn't want to ask for 40,000 yuan right away.
Ding Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She gestured for 30,000 yuan, and Zhao Dahailion asked directly for 40,000 yuan. She was also worried that Zhao Dahai would sell his large yellow croaker at a low price. Seeing this
Not smart enough.
"Forty thousand dollars?"
"This fish is not worth the price!"
"Twenty-five thousand dollars!"
…
"Why!"
"How can it be 25,000 yuan? It must be at least 38,000 yuan!"
…
Zhao Dahai and Liu Gang bargained, and within ten minutes, the deal was completed for 31,000 yuan.
Zhao Dahai collected the money and Ding Xiaoxiang left Liu Gang's office.
"Zhao Dahai!"
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"
"Twenty-seven or eight thousand yuan is not bad. I didn't expect you to talk about thirty-one thousand yuan!"
Ding Xiaoxiang's gesture was the opening price, not the final negotiated price.
"Thanks for reminding me!"
Zhao Dahai is not flattering. If Ding Xiaoxiang didn't remind her, she would have offered 30,000 yuan, and the negotiated price would definitely be lower than this.
"ah!"
"It's getting late! I have to go back!"
Ding Xiaoxiang watched the excitement for a while, and immediately became anxious when she realized that half an hour had passed.
"Remember this evening at the same place and at the same time, I will bring that big yellow croaker over to show you!"
Zhao Dahai reminded Ding Xiaoxiang.
Ding Xiaoxiang nodded and rode her tricycle back to the vegetable market.
Zhao Dahai waited to hear Xiaoxiang leave and returned to the village immediately, waiting to see Ding Xiaoxiang tonight.
