"Boss, how did you do that? I've never heard of someone being able to get their goods in the irrigation canal, let alone getting out of the car overnight. Am I dreaming?" Lee Da was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. He looked at the carts full of fish and was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
"Hehe, hurry up and get the rest of the cages up. We still have to sell the fish in town while it's still early in the morning." Zhao Jinbao said.
Lee Da looked at the car, and said: "But the fish baskets are all full, there's no place to fill them up anymore!"
Zhao Jinbao thought for a bit, and indeed, judging from the amount of fish he caught from the net, there was definitely a lot of fish in the cage, but there really wasn't anywhere on the carriage to store them. An idea suddenly occurred to him. He asked Lee Da to drive the car to the side of the village's pond, which was shared with him. Then, he directly poured in two baskets of fish. Compared to the fishing net, the catch of fish in the cage was indeed smaller.
After doing all this, Zhao Jinbao took Lee Da and the other two and drove to the farmers' market in the town. In the past, when he was studying in the town, he knew that it was a place for all kinds of hawkers to trade. Many individual fishmongers would sell their fish there, and then sell their fish there at a high price.
When the four of them arrived at the town, it was about five o'clock in the morning. The sun had risen very early in the summer, so there were already a lot of people at the farmers' market. Zhao Jinbao told Lee Da to park the car by the side of the road, and then he went to walk around the farmers' market.
"Blackie, take the remaining fish you sent yesterday to the merchants with Seafood Street. I don't have enough fish here for now.
Just as Zhao Jinbao was passing by the fishmonger's side, he heard a low voice. Although the person who spoke didn't want others to hear it, with Zhao Jinbao's hearing, he was still able to hear every single word.
"Seafood Street?" Zhao Jinbao was startled, then he immediately thought that there was indeed a place in Three Springs Town. From beginning to end, this street was filled with restaurants, roasted fish shops and the like.
At first, Zhao Jinbao was a little worried whether all these fish could be sold out in an afternoon. However, if they were sold to merchants with Seafood Street, the situation would be completely different.
He quickly ran to the hand tractor to let Lee Da drive to Seafood Street. Ten minutes later, the tractor stopped at the Seafood Street entrance.
At the same time, there was also a relatively large aquatic vehicle parked at the entrance of Seafood Street. A relatively sturdy young man was currently chatting with a few middle-aged men who looked as if they were sitting stably.
Zhao Jinbao brought the Li brothers and walked over. The robust youth and a few middle-aged men looked towards them.
When he stopped at the tractor, he had already noticed Zhao Jinbao and the others. When they got near, he immediately went to them and asked, "Lad, are you here to sell fish too?"
"Yes, may I ask if you are a merchant from Seafood Street?" Zhao Jinbao nodded and said.
"Yes, I am the owner of the seafood Roast Fish House. Zheng Dahsing, can I see your fish?" Zheng Dahsing said.
Zhao Jinbao was a little confused. He was a seller, so logically speaking, he should have taken the initiative to look for these shopkeepers to promote his products.
The rest of the merchants in Seafood Street had also heard the conversation. At that moment, they all gathered around, like Zheng Dahsing, they all wanted to see Zhao Jinbao's fish.
Zhao Jinbao was naturally happy that they were acting like this, he brought the shopkeepers near the tractor and placed a basket of fish on the ground.
As Li Er and Li San would occasionally pour water on the fishes, thus, even if they were watered for an hour or two, the fishes would still be lively. Zheng Dahsing picked up a fish first and looked at it carefully, then said with a smile: Young lad, the fishes are really not bad, how much are you selling this fish for?
The other merchants could see that Zhao Jinbao's fish was very energetic, and immediately had the thought of buying fish, causing the sturdy young man who was watching by the side to become anxious.
"Boss Zheng, didn't we discuss earlier?" Why did you suddenly change your mind? You bought his fish, then what about my fish? They're all here for you. " The sturdy youth said.
Zheng Dahsing said, "Hei Zi, it's not that I'm not trustworthy, it's just that the quality of your fish is too poor. Look, many of you have started to turn over Bai Pi, it's simply a fresh fish, we are also in the business here, this kind of fish doesn't have a good taste, customers are not satisfied either!"
"Boss Zheng, we've been working together for a long time. It's normal for fish to not be able to endure the high temperature since it's hot. Later, my brother will bring a batch of fresh fish over and we'll treat it as a low price for all of you!" Blackie said again.
This Hei Zi should be the person who spoke of the fishmonger at the farmers' market. According to the fishmonger, the fish Hei Zi sent over was the fish from the day before, it would be weird if he did not overturn Bai Pi.
"Boss Zheng, our fish were all caught in the river. It's guaranteed to be fresh. Moreover, these are all authentic wild fish. It definitely tastes better than feed fish." Taking the chance, Zhao Jinbao interrupted.
"Oh? The real wild fish? " Zheng Dahsing was slightly shocked.
"Yeah, I've never fed the fodder before. It's all from the river." With that, Zhao Jinbao took a small knife from the side of the carriage and cut open the fish belly.
Zheng Dahsing took the fish from Zhao Jinbao's hands, looked at his stomach, and then used his hands to crush the fish that was cut off. He took out a small piece of fish and tasted it, then said: "It really isn't a feed fish."
Zheng Dahsing was the biggest fish owner in Seafood Street, and seafood Roast Fish House was also the biggest shop in terms of scale. Therefore, he had done quite a bit of research into fish, and he could tell that Zhao Jinbao's fish was indeed many times better than Blackie's fish.
After receiving Zheng Dahsing's acknowledgement, the other merchants of Seafood Street naturally believed that fodder fish and wild fish were not of the same class. Now that their living standards had improved, customers would rather spend more on wild fish than eating fish that was stimulated by cheap fodder.
"Young lad, since you dragged the fish to our Seafood Street, then you must be running here to do business. We, the merchants, do not lie to you. Zheng Dahsing said quite straightforwardly.
"Boss Zheng, I know a little about fish business. I have a lot of grass fish here, and with the market price right now, eight or nine yuan a catty is a normal thing. Isn't six yuan too little?" Zhao Jinbao looked at Zheng Dahsing and said with a slight smile.
