Chapter 245 Swaggering through the market

  Everyone chatted excitedly in the car with envy and hatred. Ah Guang came late, so he was squatting there, measuring his head with his hands, and touching the tassels on his head from time to time.

   "Dongzi, how much can you sell your oarfish for?"

   "I don't know, I haven't caught it, and I haven't heard that anyone has caught it. I'll send it to the dock to have a look."

  Others also said with interest: "It will definitely sell for hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars..."

   "Damn it, are there so many?"

   "It's almost 200 catties, who has seen such a rare fish? Those rich bosses are not allowed to buy it back and taste the meat? Have a whole fish feast? Damn, what a face!"

   "Damn, that's true, it's such a big one, and if you walk around the street with it on your shoulders, your face will shine."

   "So that's why you're so shameless that you want to follow?"

  Ah Guang stared, "How did you say that? Who is being shameless? I am the future brother-in-law, my own family, you are a bunch of shameless..."

   Several people were arguing and cursing on the tractor, and they didn't calm down until they entered the streets of the town.

   "You said, should we lift the oarfish directly so that it is more conspicuous, and it will come here, so it must be a little more ostentatious, right?"

  Ye Yaodong touched his chin and nodded, "It makes sense, then you guys should carry it!"

  He will not be on...

   Several people really excitedly raised their bodies, some held fish heads, some held their tails, their faces were glorious, which made him a little embarrassed...

  As soon as everyone lifted the fish up, they saw people passing by on the street staring wide-eyed in shock.

  One person was still carrying a burden on his shoulders, and he fell to the ground in a moment of shock, and all the leftover cabbages and radishes fell out.

   "Fuck, what fish is so long?"

   "Huh? Hairtail? It's so long..."

   "Boom~ What kind of fish is that? Fake?"

   "Hey... what kind of fish are you..."

   Ah Zheng excitedly shouted at the people on the street: "This is an oarfish, it is six meters long and weighs almost 200 catties. To see it, go to Yujing Wharf..."

  Others also rushed to the street excitedly, and gave everyone a popular science about oarfish...

  Ye Yaodong could not help but touch his forehead, thank you brothers for helping to promote, it is right to call you...

At this time, it was almost time for dinner, and there were many people collecting stalls. The road was full of farmers returning home with bamboo baskets. Fortunately, they were standing on the car, and only those who had already passed by could see them, so they did not affect the tractor for a while. go ahead.

  When some good people saw such a big fish, they were immediately curious and couldn't leave. They just followed the car with their loads, planning to follow to see the excitement.

  There was loud propaganda from the brothers, and a large group of people had already followed behind the tractor at Yujing Wharf, and some merchants passing by the street also ran out to watch.

  When the tractor arrived at the Yujing Wharf, it was almost completely surrounded by the tractor after pulling the fuselage. The crowd had already spread the word to each other and knew that this fish was an earthquake fish.

  There are all kinds of vehicles parked around the wharf, there are trailers, carts, tractors moving goods, fishmongers coming and going, and coolies unloading and carrying fish, there is a lot of people...

  When the tractor stopped, they felt unable to get off the tractor.

   "No need to go down, let's stand a little higher on the car and be more conspicuous, so as not to be crowded by people, in case some wicked person takes a knife and slashes a few times on the fish? Am I at a big loss?"

   "Yes, yes, just stand on the tractor to be safe."

  Before they shouted, a group of people chased them there and asked about the condition of the fish in their hands, and all the people who were working and receiving the goods on the pier gathered around to watch the excitement, which shocked another group of people.

   "How do you sell your oarfish?"

   "That's right, how do you sell your oarfish? I heard it's an earthquake fish..."

  People who don’t understand the goods next to you ask questions one after another, and those who understand the goods, or those who have been popularized by science, quickly explain, and the scene is noisy.

  But Ye Yaodong is not in a hurry, he must have some time to react when he first arrives.

  The people below kept asking about the price, so he just said wait.

   "Dongzi, how long shall we wait?"

   "Wait for half an hour to see, and give some people time to react."

  There are more and more people around the tractor. Fortunately, they also have more helpers. It will not be very tiring to carry the oarfish in rotation all the time.

  It wasn't until Ye Yaodong saw two motorcycle riders approaching one after another not far away, and there were several bicycles beside him, that his eyes lit up.

   Taking a closer look, it turned out that they were old acquaintances, Hong Wenle, the prince of Hongsheng Hotel, and a middle-aged man riding a motorcycle.

   "Let rang, let rang, let our young master go in..."

   "It's you, old acquaintance, why didn't you bring the good goods to our hotel? You came outside the pier, and I almost didn't have time to run when I heard the news."

  Ye Yaodong greeted with a smile, "Don't you think that this oarfish is too rare? Send it to the pier, there are many people, so show off first."

   "It's really rare. This kind of oarfish has never appeared in the local area. No one has even heard of it. Have you ever weighed this one? Do you need to ask someone to carry it?"

   "We weighed it. It is 6.3 meters long and weighs 196 catties and 4 taels. If you are worried, you can borrow a scale from the pier and push it over."

   "This is still trustworthy, how do you plan to sell it?"

   "Holy shit, this fish is really big..."

  A fat man with a big belly also squeezed into the crowd. Just after sighing, he smiled and beckoned to Hong Wenle, "Why is my eldest nephew here? Look at this, you still know this young man who sells fish."

"I've bought goods from him a few times, and he has rare things in his hands every once in a while. I haven't seen him for a while, and he even got an oarfish? Uncle Cheng is quite well-informed? He also left his work in the shop and ran over."

"Isn't it because I heard that someone caught an oarfish, so I came out with long eyes. This fish is incredible. I heard that the ground would shake three times when this fish appeared. It has always only existed in legends, but there are still people who can catch it. arrive?"

   "It is said to be like this, but I don't know if it is true, but rare is really rare, I have never seen such a long fish in my life..."

  While they were talking, a few more men in Chinese tunic suits, shiny leather shoes, and waxed hair appeared. They looked like dogs.

  Rich people really know rich people. After someone automatically opened the way, several people greeted each other with smiles.

  Boss Chen, are you here?

  Boss Wang, are you here too?

  Business is booming...

  Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry, he smiled and watched them chatting, and continued to look into the distance, wanting to see if there were any rich bosses.

   After they finished greeting and exchanging pleasantries, they turned to him and asked, how do you sell the fish?

Ye Yaodong looked at the time and felt that it was about the same time, so he said: "This fish is called oarfish and earthquake fish. After a while, everyone should know it. I caught it by accident at sea this morning. I just saw it. I was also quite confused, I didn’t know what it was, and I realized later that it was an oarfish.”

"I don't need to tell you how rare this fish is just because of its size. Most people may not be able to see it in their lifetime. Everyone should have heard about it just now. In the next few days, everyone Be vigilant, and don't sleep too hard at night."

  Who knows if there will be changes in two lifetimes? The reminder still has to be reminded.

  The boss below yelled, "We all know this, so just tell me how to sell your oarfish?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and looked at the boss in front of him, "Don't worry, just listen to me first. This oarfish has been measured. It is 6.3 meters long and weighs 196 catties and 4 taels. I think everyone here must want to Yes, after all, it is rare to see it in decades, if you buy this, you will have a bright face, and you will have more face when you tell it."

   "Bosses are big and waisted, rich and powerful, and you can tell that you are strong at a glance. If you buy this fish back, you can brag to your younger generations for decades, and your legend will be kept in the town..."

   "Hahaha... You really can talk, you can't buy it if you say it, so hurry up and say, how can you sell it?"

   "Well, it's getting late, and there are quite a lot of you, so let's bid directly. The base price is 300, and each increase is no less than ten yuan. The highest bidder wins."

  As soon as he shouted out the price, the crowd immediately went into an uproar. At this price, you can buy two pieces directly with three turns.

   Anyway, he didn't intend to sell it to ordinary people, and ordinary people don't want to buy it.

  Suddenly, everyone became excited again. Not only those who bought it back could brag, but they could brag about what they saw with their own eyes when they went back.

   "A piece weighs nearly 200 catties, and the starting price is 300 yuan. It's not too expensive. If you buy a rare one, I'll offer 350..."

   "400..."

   "420..."

   "My 450..."

   "I offer 500..."

  These short and fat people are not short of money. In their port, the poor are really poor, but the rich are also rich. Which one of the sea smugglers did not participate? Any leak from your fingers will cost you hundreds of dollars.

   Rich people are good because they save face!

   Such a large oarfish appeared in their port for the first time in history. Really, whoever bought it will have a bright face and spread it widely.

   It’s not a waste, it’s fine for a family dinner. Said that he had eaten a 6-meter-long oarfish, which was the first in the whole place.

   A person with a head and a face pays attention to face. As for whether it tastes good or not? Is the meat good? You have to buy it and eat it to know, it is definitely not in their consideration at the moment.

   Several bosses are not short of money, and each of them shouted higher and higher prices. When the price reached 800, each of them did not have the smiling appearance at the beginning, and they all looked like they were hiding their knives with a smile on their faces.

   "Boss Chen, is this your fault? Why do you follow after I raise the price every time, and you don't follow when others raise the price?"

   "What did Boss Li say? We are all friends. Whoever raises the price depends on the person?"

   "It's hard to say, I can't guarantee that when did you have a problem with me?"

  Hong Wenle smiled and said: "Uncles, don't argue, so as not to hurt your peace, let me. I will set up a table in the hotel at night for 820. How about everyone come and try something new?"

  Everyone smiled and said nothing, looking at each other with half a smile but not a smile. Can the ones invited by others be the same as the ones you bought home? If you can't tell it, it's not your own.

Ye Yaodong smiled at the side, "The asking price has reached 820. A fish that weighs almost 200 catties is not expensive at just over 4 yuan a catty. This is an oarfish that weighs almost 200 catties. It is rare to meet. Maybe you will only meet it in this life. one time…"
