"The goods are really worth 10,000 kilograms, just a lot more. Can the price be increased a little more? I have two boats there, and more than 10,000 kilograms of toad fish. The other goods and miscellaneous items add up to more than a thousand kilograms."

The man suddenly became serious.

"Is this the cargo hauled back by two big boats? Did you catch a school of fish? That's OK. We are a provincial capital here, with a large dock and a lot of freight. There are many fishing boats docking every day, and they all catch good fish.

When the warehouse is full, I will go ashore and sell it for supplies.”

The older man next to me also came over and said, "Take me to see it. If the quantity is OK and the goods are fresh, the price must be reasonable."

"Let's talk about the price first. If your price is right, I'll take you to have a look. Otherwise, I'd be sorry to bother you all."

When the time comes when you take people to see it and you don't sell it to them, and the money goes to others, it's time to make people feel resentful. I'd rather make people a little more annoying now, at least it doesn't seem so offending.

"Tell me, what kind of goods do you have the most?" After knowing that he had tens of thousands of kilograms of goods, the recipient became more patient and willing to take the time to say a few more words.

"The two boats have the most toad fish, which weighs about 17,000 to 8,000 kilograms, and maybe close to 20,000 kilograms. Without weighing, we can only roughly estimate one. The other small tubes also weigh four to five hundred kilograms, and the sword shrimps also weigh five to six hundred kilograms.

There are also some white pomfret, pomfret, and small yellow croaker, and by the way, there are 8 manta rays weighing two to three hundred kilograms!"

The two people's eyes widened instantly. The nearly 10,000 kilograms of golden-eyed sea bream only surprised them at his receipt, but the two to three hundred kilograms of manta rays really surprised them.

The young man Ye Yaodong asked at the beginning was so surprised that he shouted out, "There are eight stingrays weighing two to three hundred kilograms?"

Look at their expressions, they seem to be very surprised?

Although Ye Yaodong was surprised on his face, he still pretended to be calm, "Yes, these are the most important items. Usually, you can catch a few dozen kilograms from time to time, but not necessarily a few hundred kilograms. You won't be able to catch them without great luck.

It weighs several hundred kilograms and is just like a giant dragon. You have to be lucky to catch it."

"You have to be lucky, manta rays are a good thing..."

The older one nudged the younger one and winked.

Ye Yaodong suddenly felt suspicious, something was fishy.

He looked back and forth between the two of them, and then answered with a thoughtful smile, "Of course the devil is a good thing. Hundreds of kilograms of meat are not even thick and tender, let alone the swollen fish gills on his body.

…”

"You know about swollen fish gills!!!" the other party said in surprise.

Ye Yaodong knew in his heart that the expanded fish gills were very expensive now. No wonder the two of them were hiding it just now. He thought that the expanded fish gills had not been fried yet and no one knew about it. He thought that it would only become more expensive in the future.

People from the province are people from the province, and they know more than people from the countryside.

This will be easier to handle.

Wealth comes rolling in.

"Swelling fish gills are a good thing, how could you not know? I even hung one on my boat to dry it." Ye Yaodong looked at them with a smile.

The two of them immediately looked at each other, thinking that they could pick up the leak, but they didn't expect that someone knew the stuff.

"You killed a stingray?"

"I happened to encounter a school of manta rays fighting with a school of sharks, and I missed an injured wound. I knew that the expanded fish gills were a good thing and very expensive, so I picked them up to dry."

The two looked at each other again, but didn't say anything immediately.

Ye Yaodong was getting a little impatient with the waiting. The two of them were chattering until it was almost dark.

"Do you accept it or not? Let me tell you the price of various goods first. I will also compare it with other people. My father and uncle went to other people's houses to ask about the price. After you tell the price, we also need to discuss it. Let's see.

Let’s see who we sell it to.”

Turn passive into active, just don’t know how much it can be sold for...

He was really unsure. This thing was very rare, and he didn't know what it would be worth if it hadn't been circulated.

"We haven't seen it, and we don't know if the stingray is really as big as you said. We can only discuss the price after seeing it."

"Then you quote the receiving price of the other goods. Let's compare the prices of the other goods first and sell the other goods first. We'll talk about it later after the stingrays are brought ashore. Probably a lot of people will be interested."

The older man nodded heartily, "Okay, the price I offer is definitely the fairest..."

"Ah Cheng... come here and take a look... What are you two doing there? Come here and help..."

At this time, a voice of forty or fifty years old called out to them.

"I'm not free, I'm busy. Over there, you can keep it for yourself..." The man named Acheng turned around and shouted, then continued talking to Ye Yaodong.

This is a young man, the first person Ye Yaodong asked.

Another older man heard them calling him Ashu.

The two of them had manta rays dangling, so they requoted the price. The goldeye seabream was given 3.5 cents, regardless of size. The toad fish was 3 cents and 6 cents, the small tube was 3.3 cents, and the sword shrimp was 4 cents.

Wait, Tongtong gave me a good price.

Ye Yaodong was also very happy. The prices quoted were almost the same as those he had just inquired about outside, and some were even one cent or two cents higher.

Good fish are more popular, so they like to sell them in larger quantities. The larger the quantity, the more they can make even if they are resold. Cheap fish like toad fish are as plentiful as rice, and the price at a dock is

It's fixed and basically won't float.

The price depends on the quantity and quality of the goods, as well as the conscience of the person receiving the goods. People who speak local dialects will not be ripped off, but it is hard to tell if they speak foreign languages. Bullying can happen everywhere.

"We have such a large delivery point here, and the price is very reasonable. As you just said, you have asked around in advance, and you should have an idea. My price is the most reasonable. If there is no problem, we will

Go to the boat and see those fish you mentioned?"

"Okay, the price of these fish products has been decided. As for the manta ray, we will look at it first and then discuss the price. If it is suitable, we will weigh it together. If it is not suitable, we will discuss it later. Anyway, let's go and call someone for those products together.

Move down."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he took the two of them out.

The two of them also greeted the middle-aged men who were collecting goods in the open space, and then followed him out.

He went to find his father and Uncle Pei first, and met up with them first.

Father Ye and Father Pei asked about a few houses and then returned to the place where they were waiting. Unexpectedly, Ye Yaodong went out and asked for a price and brought the person over directly.

"Don't you want to compare? Why did you bring people here directly? We have to shop around..."

The two of them couldn't understand what Ye's father spoke in the local dialect of their county, but they could probably get a sense of the tone.

"No need to compare, the price we gave is the most reasonable. Hurry up and go to the boat together to have a look, otherwise it will be dark soon."

Ye Yaodong also quickly explained to his father and Pei's father, and they crowded towards the pier while talking.

As dusk approached, more fishing boats came ashore, and baskets of freshly caught seafood were carried ashore. People came and went, with several people walking back and forth to the shore.

"Oh, you're smart. You don't have to push your way to the front to ask the person who receives the goods for the price. You can directly ask the fishermen around you. It will come faster."

"Yeah, I asked around, and after I had an idea, I found their delivery point that seemed to have the most people and the most goods, and I just negotiated the price myself."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he still turned his head away and whispered to his father and Uncle Pei about the value of manta ray's gills. He also gave them some knowledge about the expanded gills, which almost shocked them.

"Really? Then this fish must be sold for more than a few dozen yuan!"

"Of course, keep your voice down and we'll sell it for a higher price later."

At this moment, there were noises and shouts everywhere. They were talking in a low voice, but the people following them couldn't hear them carefully, not to mention that they were speaking in local dialect.

Father Pei murmured: "I didn't know the gills of this fish were so valuable. I don't know if they are worth anything..."

"I don't know about the small ones. Anyway, aren't the small ones sold normally on the Internet? It's just that the big ones are more rare."

"Fortunately, this is the first time I have caught such a big one. I have never sold it at a low price. Fortunately, I have not contacted the harvesting ship. If the harvesting ship is given, it will be collected at the normal price of manta rays with a discount."

"How do you know, Dongzi? I see there is one hanging on your boat!"

"I know these gills are useful, but I didn't know they were so expensive."

"How expensive is it?"

"have no idea."

Father Ye was choked for a moment, and he dared to say for a long time that he didn't know how expensive it was or how much it could be sold for.

"I don't know, so you keep saying it's very expensive?"

"I don't know how to tempt you? Don't say it. You'll find out later. Anyway, if you sell more than expected, you will make money."

Father Pei also agreed, "Yes, it's easy to tell if you know the price is high. I'll need a few more people to help carry it later. If I carry it ashore, someone who knows the goods will definitely tell me."

"Such a big one, weighing several hundred kilograms, will definitely be watched by people. It's not as common as sharks."

"Stop talking about it now, take him to the boat first, take him to see the cargo, and get rid of all the miscellaneous cargo on the boat first, and then we can talk about the stingray."

Ye Yaodong was about to walk down the steps, and the noise around him became quieter, so he asked his father and the others not to discuss it yet, lest they heard it, and it would be bad if they knew that they didn't know what they were talking about.

I don’t know if Ah Shu and Ah Cheng are brothers. Anyway, they seem to be ten years apart in age. One looks to be around thirty and the other looks to be around forty. The two of them walked up to Ye Yaodong one after another.

on board.

The boatmen had already moved all the golden sea bream out of the fish warehouse and put them on the deck. On the shore, they saw the red cargo all over the deck. Seeing was believing, and they were already smiling.

The fishermen on the surrounding shore also saw that both of their boats were full of golden sea bream, and they had already been pointing and watching for a while.

Large ships like theirs don't dock every day. They only dock along the way and when the distance is not far. Otherwise, it is not cost-effective and will especially delay fishing.

But it’s not impossible. Of course, the most common ones are the trawlers and small wooden boats that go and return on the same day. These boats are the most common, so the goods collected every day are very miscellaneous. It’s rare to see something like this weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.
