Chapter 1145 Another idea(1/3)

Several people who were originally looking after the house in their hometown also came out to help shortly after they landed. There are many people and strength.

There were also more fishing boats docking around, and their decks were full of fish, which had attracted a lot of people's attention. Every fishing boat docking had to look in their direction and ask some questions.

.

Ye Yaodong always smiled and replied that it was because he encountered a red tide in the open sea. The cargo on the deck was suffocated due to lack of oxygen due to the red tide, and then drifted together with the tide. He encountered it, so he caught a whole

Genius brought it back.

"There is a red tide, but we haven't seen it offshore..."

"It didn't affect the offshore area, so that's fine..."

"Maybe it hasn't spread to the offshore yet..."

"What kind of fish is that on the boat? Why did it get entangled in the fishing net like that? Did you pick it up too?"

"Oh, I've wanted to ask for a long time. I've been watching them for a long time, but I haven't seen them untie the fishing net, and no one has answered. Why don't I just cut it open with scissors? It's so laborious..."

"This fish must be too big. It looks so strange. What's that thing growing on its mouth..."

The chatter in my ears never stopped. After the boatmen sorted all the fish on the deck, they immediately began to untie the fishing nets. The three fishing nets were thick and thin, and they all tightly wrapped around the sawfish.

Some are not easy to untie.

If you just want to release the fish, it is easy to just cut it off with scissors. However, if Ye Yaodong wants to keep the big net, he still has to rely on this big net to make a living.

This large net is several hundred meters long. Even if it costs money to make, it also takes a lot of time. It would take two people less than a month to weave such a large net of more than 300 meters.

Although the large net has been damaged a lot by its saw teeth due to catching this fish, it can still be repaired, which saves time, effort and money rather than weaving a new net.

Moreover, this sawfish may not be sold for much money. It is probably not as valuable as this fishing net. It is not worth it. If you can save it, save it. It doesn't matter if you throw the net by hand.

Sawfish can be eaten, but its meat is relatively rough, and its economic value is about the same as that of sharks. Its fins can be used to make shark fins, and its skin can be used to make leather and scabbards. Its liver can be used to make cod liver oil. It can be said that it is full of treasures.

Let’s see if people these days don’t know the goods.

While everyone else was untying the fishing nets, Ye Yaodong turned around and started chatting with a few people. These were the bosses who were collecting goods at the dock.

When their fishing boat docked, people came over one after another and asked if they wanted to collect the goods on his boat. However, the goods had not been sorted out at that time, so he just asked them to wait and sort out the goods first to see how much there was.

.

When the sorting was almost finished, these people didn't care about the scattered bulk goods on the stall. They all ran to him and waited, wanting to collect his entire shipload of goods. After all, if there was a lot of goods, they could make a lot of money at once.

There are more, which is better than those scattered goods. Even though this is a prefecture-level city, its digestion capacity is still strong.

Ye Yaodong asked several companies and asked them to quote the prices of more than 20 types of major goods. If the goods were not in such large quantities or were not valuable, they would not ask for quotations.

Since those people were present at the same time, of course they all quoted the same price. After all, they were just hanging out on the dock, and no one could quote a higher price than anyone else. If someone quoted a price, others would not speak out to refute the price increase or lower the price.

They were all acquaintances, so they discussed and quoted the harvest price of all the goods on that day to him, allowing him to choose who to sell to or to sell them separately.

How much is each kind of product worth? Ye Yaodong basically knows it in his mind. The price of fish caught in different seasons will definitely fluctuate.

It’s hard to say whether he, a foreigner, is unconscionable and will collectively lower the price, but if the price difference is not big, he will be able to accept it.

If he didn't sell it to them, he would have to drive out to another terminal and ask about the price. Who knows if the price at another terminal would be higher than here in the city?

After going around in circles, if the price is lower than here, he will have to look for it again? It is already dark, who will the goods be sold to then? After a delay of one night, he will have to look for it again the next day.

When you go out, you can only make a big difference and be relatively reasonable.

That's why, after the big brother came out, the boss didn't equip it, but the ship boss did it first.

However, he also had his own way of asking questions. He could chat with anyone, and he never thought he was a foreigner. While the boatmen were still sorting out the goods, he chatted with them for a while, and then

The set is so close that it looks very sophisticated.

When asking about the price, he said that his ship is so big and carries a lot of cargo. If the price is fair, he will call this dock every day. Otherwise, he will change to another dock.

Anyway, he is a foreigner, so it makes no difference to him where he docks. Wherever the price is high, he will dock there to sell goods.

He used hard and soft tactics to prevent them from underestimating his image as a young boy, and also emphasized that the boat was his, not his father's.

At his age, being able to afford such a big boat immediately makes people feel extraordinary and cannot be easily fooled.

After hearing their quotation, Ye Yaodong only nodded, and did not immediately say who he wanted to sell to. He just thought about it and planned to give them a try, without appearing so eager or happy.

They were a little anxious. There were no big ships docking today, and they didn't have any big goods to collect so they could spend them here.

In addition, the Dongsheng came back early, and the whole ship's cargo had been noticed at the dock early. Everyone would have watched it. Otherwise, if they came back at this time, they would be busy receiving the goods and would not have time to care about him selling the goods.

To whom.

"Our price is very fair. Today's receipt price is the price of these fish..."

He had just sold sea urchins in the city a few days ago, and he was well aware of the price of fish in the city, but he did not respond immediately.

Ye Yaodong pointed to the sawfish on the deck that had not yet untied the fishing net, "Will you accept that big guy?"

"This thing is wrapped tightly. Although it is big, I don't know what it looks like. The mouth is very strange..."

"I haven't seen it before, so I don't want it. I'm afraid it will fall into my hands."

"Although it looks big, it looks very strange. I've never seen anything difficult..."

The people who spoke shook their heads as they spoke.

"I don't know what it looks like, but I have to untie the fishing net and expose it for a look."

He said: "This is a sawfish. It is more than three meters tall by visual inspection. Please measure it specifically. Do you know this fish?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"Forget it, let's wait until the fishing net is untied. Let's lift these goods up and weigh them first."

It was wrapped like a rice dumpling. Except for a small part of the head and the tip of the snout, no part of the body was exposed. It was all well hidden by fishing nets. It was difficult to ask these people to identify it just like this, and it was difficult to negotiate the price.

"Then you guys..."

"It's better to give these goods to the boss who collected the sea urchins the day before. Once they are raw, they will be cooked twice. If you think there are too many goods and you can't eat them, then you can figure it out and find someone else to share it with."

"Okay, okay...then take me to my place first..."

He yelled and asked a few boatmen to carry the cargo ashore first, leaving only two people to continue their research on freeing the sawfish from the fishing net.

After basket after basket of goods was carried ashore, the people on the shore who had been watching their fishing boats also moved to the purchasing point and continued to watch the large amount of goods.

It's not that everyone has never seen big ships docking and so many goods, but his goods were suffocated by red tide, so he took advantage of them and caught so much in one day.

Therefore, it was painted with a bit of magical color and had something to say to attract people's attention. As for the sawfish, which was still wrapped in a fishing net like a rice dumpling, and its true identity had not yet been revealed, everyone only felt strange and not too shocked.

Ye Yaodong stood in the open space in front of the purchasing point and directed people to stack the goods basket by basket. Then he asked people to stand in front of the pile of goods and look at them. He led two people to carry the goods basket by basket for weighing.

After all the small mountain of goods were sold out, more than an hour had passed. The sawfish on the deck had not yet been completely untied. Only half of its body was exposed, but this half attracted people to watch again, and everyone was whispering.

, everyone was discussing what kind of fish this was.

The brave ones even pulled him and asked: "Boss, what kind of fish is this big fish on your boat? Why is it so big? It was suppressed by a bunch of fish before, and we didn't even see it."

"I thought it was some debris on the ship, and they were squatting there to repair it..."

Ye Yaodong said: "It's a sawfish. It looks a bit like a shark, but it's a type of manta ray. The long part of its mouth is the end of its snout, which looks like a saw, so it's called a sawfish."

After saying that, he returned to the deck and looked at the two people who were left behind, sweating profusely, looking for patterns to untie the fishing nets.

"When it's time to cut it with scissors, just cut such a large net and it will be tangled together. How can you get it out without any damage? As long as you don't cut it all with scissors, it is still possible to repair it."

"We just want to try our best, otherwise it will take too long to ask someone to repair it, and it will also affect the trawling at sea."

"It doesn't matter, I just have two days of rest. After the rest, I will continue to go back to the trench to salvage. By then the locals will have given up and there will be no need to trawl. It's getting dark now. You should hurry up and don't wait until dark to get it out.

"

"Okay, let's cut a little more."

Ye Yaodong let them figure it out by themselves. After thinking about it, he went to the purchasing point again and called over the two people who had just collected his goods.

This fish has half of its face exposed, and you should be able to recognize what it is. Call it over to see if you want it. If not, you have to ask them to help measure the length. Otherwise, what will you do if it gets really dark later and the store is closed?

.

However, when they were called, both of them shook their heads and refused to accept it. They both said that they did not recognize the fish, they had never seen it before and it was difficult to bid, and they were afraid of getting it in their hands.

"You don't know each other?"

He thought to himself that their wholesale market had a fixed organization that could attract people, and it also had fixed sales, making it easy to digest new things.

"The body looks a bit like a shark, but the long mouth doesn't look like it."

"Why do I look a bit like a manta ray? It's like a combination of the two, that's the one on the mouth...it's like a saw. It's very strange. Why don't you ask other people?"

"never mind."

Originally, he thought that the fish might not fetch a high price. After all, it was ugly and unpopular, so he might not even be able to get back the money for the fishing net. But now it's better.

But it was probably within his expectation.

This kind of strange thing is definitely not easy to circulate in the market. Unless someone takes over, such as the open-minded young master Hong who returned from studying abroad in their town, who would buy this thing back?

However, even if he had known that the fish would not be sold and no one wanted it, he would definitely catch it. After all, it is rare and not everyone can encounter and catch such a big fish.

This is the rich color and experience in his life as a fisherman. It doesn't matter whether he makes money or not. He is not short of the money, but he has fished something, which is very impressive. He can take pictures and brag.
