After having an authentic Japanese seafood dinner, Qin Shiou returned to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow’s auction.
The auction was held at 8:30 in the morning. Before dawn, Qin Shiou was called by Tezuka Takata. When he left the hotel, Nishimura drove over to pick them up.
Looking at the well-dressed and meticulous Nishimura Ryo, Qin Shiou secretly sighed that his mother’s job in Tokyo is simply a life-threatening one. Don’t think he can get up at 6 o’clock every morning for a run and exercise, but if he wants to work hard like this, he will definitely not be able to stand it. .
When I went to the Tsukiji market, the east was lighted up, and the paper lanterns of Inago Shrine swayed in the wind, emitting white light.
Xicun Ling introduced to Qin Shiou that these lanterns are exquisite. The lantern with whose name is on is on, indicating that this family is working in the market today. If it goes out, it means that they have no seafood for sale today.
Qin Shiou remembered Butler's words, and said in surprise: "Wouldn't it be that there are more than 800 lanterns outside the market?"
He remembered that there were eight seafood merchants and more than 800 middlemen in Tsukiji Market.
Xicun Ling smiled and said: "Qin Sang, you guessed it wrong, there are actually 1,062 lanterns here. In addition to seafood merchants, there are also vegetable and fruit merchants who also have lanterns here."
Nelson and Bird praised that there is no such farmers’ market in St. John’s.
At the end of the introduction, Ryo Nishimura proudly said: "The longer the lantern is continuously lit, the longer the seafood in that family is and the longer the continuous stall. Up to now, the lanterns of our Kiyo Village Co., Ltd. have been lit for four thousand consecutive times. Two hundred and twenty-eight days and nights!"
Into the market, many small stall vendors are selling breakfast, and the target is naturally the seafood merchants and housewives who come to the market early.
Qin Shiou glanced. Many places have takoyaki, soba noodles, tempura, dorayaki, Nagasaki cakes and other stalls, just like the morning market.
The auction of bluefin tuna was near the Shenghongmen of the market. That area had been emptied before, and Qin Shiou and his party walked over. All I saw were bluefin tuna.
At least tens of thousands of square meters, there are countless bluefin tuna, Qin Shiou roughly estimated that there may be a thousand!
here. Only then can we understand where so many bluefin tuna are caught every year on the sea!
Qin Shiou sighed: "This scale is really big."
Ryo Nishimura proudly said: "Qin Sang, I am not boasting. This is the largest tuna auction market in the world! And this is not the largest. Today's auctions are all fresh tuna, and the quantity is relatively small. It is held on the sixth day of the New Year every year. The tuna auction is the largest, because it is frozen tuna accumulated for a month or two. For example, this year’s post-year auction sold a total of 2,842 bluefin tuna with a total of 18.52 tons!"
Katsukomon is the biggest entrance to Tsukiji Market. Adjacent to Shengkang Bridge, nearby are the "Fish Popularization Center Museum", "Tsukiji Market Welfare Hall", and "Sengkang Bridge Museum" within the market area.
Xicun Ling introduced to Qin Shiou that the so-called museums are actually tourist centers. Except for 140 tourists at 4 o'clock in the morning every day, tourists are not allowed in the market at other times. When tourists come, they go to the archive to watch and take pictures.
Following Ryo Nishimura briefly, Tezuka Kota, wearing blue overalls and boots, hurried over, bowed first when she saw Qin Shiou, and said, "I'm sorry, Qin Sang, I couldn't take care of it! Today, our community There are a lot of fish in China, so I have to lead the team to inspect it myself. I hope you, forgive me!"
"The president is too polite. You can do it first. Mr. Nishimura served very well. I learned a lot from him. He is really an excellent young man." Qin Shiou said quickly. He has always been absolutely respectful of this guy's politeness. Something's wrong. There is a conspiracy.
Tezuka Takata listened to him and smiled at Ryo Nishimura. He praised: "Jun Xicun is an excellent newcomer cultivated by our club. It is great that he can satisfy Qin Sang. Tomorrow I will prepare a family dinner at home to entertain Qin Sang and Butlersang, and then Mrs. Xicun will also Come on."
When he heard this, Rin Nishimura became excited, and put his hands on the edges of his trousers. He bowed ninety degrees like a paper folded, and shouted: "Hayi, President, Nishimura is very Thank you for your appreciation!"
Tezuka Takata patted on Nishimura's shoulder, and hurriedly left with a group of subordinates, almost trotting.
Ryo Nishimura, who was slapped by Takata Tezuka on the shoulder, was full of excitement. He turned around and bowed to Qin Shiou again, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, Qin Sang, Nishimura is grateful!"
Qin Shiou smiled bitterly, so please, don’t be so polite, you bow back and forth like this, can you still play happily together in the future?
The tuna auction will be officially conducted at 5:30. Now is the busiest time. Market workers are busy marking the tuna, while the buyers preparing to participate in the auction are busy checking the meat quality of the tuna that they are interested in.
More than 1,000 pieces of tuna are enough for buyers to keep busy, but most buyers do not look at every fish. The meat quality of tuna is not so different. What they should pay attention to is the fish that they are particularly interested in, such as tuna. Overlord.
Undoubtedly, the King of Guns is the absolute protagonist of this auction. It can even be said that it is the protagonist no matter what year it is placed in the auction.
In order to protect the fish, the market sent two young and strong security guards. The security guards stepped and stood with their backs beside the fish. If anyone wanted to touch the fish, they would stop it. In addition, if someone stays here for a long time, they will also reach out and ask them to leave.
The tails and fins of the tuna that are going to participate in the auction have been cut off, so you can see the meat from these places, but only the tuna king is not allowed to touch, and other fish can be watched at will.
Although there are a lot of tuna here, there are not many bidders. Those who participate in the bidding are all first-level agents of the fish market.
They will send capable personnel to form a fish inspection team. The team leader is often the most experienced tuna fisherman. For example, the team leader of Kiyomura Co., Ltd. is an old man in his seventies.
Xicun Ling prepared a small hook and a flashlight. Qin Shiou saw that this was the standard equipment for fish inspectors, and he followed it.
But soon his counterfeit came out because his posture for fish inspection was very layman. A security guard came to ask him to leave immediately. There are a few rules in Tsukiji Market. The first is that non-bidders and VIPs cannot touch the fish.
When the security guard was about to rush people, Nishimura took away the humility he had when facing Qin Shiou and Tezuka Takata. He glared at the security guard and shouted, "Yaka! This is our distinguished guest of Kiyo Village Co., Ltd. and the president of Tezuka. My friend, how dare you drive him? Don’t you want to work here?"
The security guard bowed repeatedly after seeing Ryo Nishimura’s work permit. Vinnie pulled Ryo Nishimura and said that it’s nothing, and the security guard left with a cold sweat. (To be continued~^~)
