Chapter 289
"Sure. Brother Cai, you make the offer. When have I ever bargained?" Shen Fei said with a smile.
Zhao Youcai laughed, "It's still fun to do business with you, brother."
"Hey, that's mainly because Brother Cai is honest in business." Shen Fei and he praised each other for business.
360 yuan per catty, compared with the 88 yuan per tael mentioned by Shen Yong and others before, the difference is a bit big.
But after all, that's the price in the high-end restaurant in the provincial capital. At the dock, this kind of fish can be sold at a price of 360 per catty, which is already very high.
After all, in this era, the salary of ordinary workers is only a few hundred yuan, and a fish weighing four catties is equivalent to several months' salary for ordinary people.
(Fishermen's income from going out to sea is generally higher than that of ordinary workers, but it is also more tiring and more dangerous.)
When Wu Qiujin heard Zhao Youcai say 360 yuan per catty, she was really shocked and opened her mouth wide.
360 yuan for a pound of fish, this is the first time she has seen such a price in her life.
In her cognition, even those precious lobsters, crabs, abalones, and even the extremely rare yellow croakers, are not priced this high.
Why is this yellow-green, slightly ugly fish so expensive?
Puzzled, Wu Qiujin took two steps forward and took a careful look at the humphead wrasse, just to broaden her horizons.
At this time, Mengmeng pointed at the humphead wrasse and said to Shen Fei:
"Dad, this fish, it..."
"No!"
Given the experience of Mengmeng asking Shen Fei to keep the big crab before, Wu Qiujin interrupted her as soon as Mengmeng opened her mouth this time and said to her,
"This fish is not okay, eat some other fish, small fish are also delicious."
She dared not eat such an expensive fish, eating one bite was equivalent to her working in the hospital for several days, how could she eat it? !
Hearing this, Mengmeng pouted and said:
"Mom, I don't want to eat this fish, I just want to say that it looks so ugly, green, and has such a big head."
After that, she walked forward a few steps, looked at the live warehouse, pointed to a sea red grouper weighing more than 20 kilograms in the live warehouse, and said to Wu Qiujin,
"Mom, this fish is delicious! Dad cooked it for us. This fish is called red grouper, and the meat is sweet."
? ? ?
Hearing Mengmeng's words, Wu Qiujin had a lot of question marks in her head. Can you get better, kid? !
Just now you had a big crab, and now you want a red grouper? !
How big is your family's property? Is it enough for you to eat like this? !
She walked forward, pulled out Meng Meng's clothes, and said, "Don't get so close, be careful not to fall. Just eat other small fish. Red grouper fish is valuable, so you have to sell it for money. With the money, I can buy you fairy tale books, school bags, and small cookies..."
As she said that, she took a look inside the live warehouse.
This look made her stunned.
Wow, there are so many big fish in the live warehouse!
The most conspicuous one is a big red grouper fish weighing more than 20 kilograms swimming on its back!
Next to the red grouper fish, there is another fish that is exactly the same as the grouper fish just now. This... Shen Fei and his team didn't just catch one grouper fish, but two!
Hiss!
One fish can be worth several months of her salary, and these two... She will have to work like a slave in the hospital for half a year.
And there are also big red groupers, big crabs, sea cucumbers, and big blue groupers...
After secretly calculating in her mind, Wu Qiujin was sure that the money these fish could sell for would definitely be higher than her salary for a year working in the hospital.
The key is that Shen Fei and his team only went out for one morning! They made more than her salary for a year in one morning!
This is too outrageous!
According to their earnings, if they earn a lot for one or two months, wouldn't they be able to earn all her salary for this lifetime? !
This......
When Wu Qiujin felt a little confused, Shen Fei smiled and said to Mengmeng:
"Since Mengmeng likes to eat big red grouper, let's take this big red grouper home to eat later."
After that, he turned to Shen Wenbo, Shen Wentao, Niuniu and Xiaoliu and asked,
"There is still a humphead fish in the live warehouse. Do you want to eat it? If you want to try it, we will take it home and cook it for you to try."
Shen Wenbo and Shen Wentao both shook their heads. What a joke, even if it is 360 yuan per catty, that four catties can sell for more than a thousand!
All of them have lived a hard life. The brothers Shen Wenbo and Shen Wentao really don't want to eat such good food.
Niuniu and Xiaoliu saw that the eldest and third brothers shook their heads, and they also shook their heads, indicating that they would not eat it and let their father sell it.
Seeing that their opinions were quite consistent, Shen Fei did not force them to keep the humphead fish, and sold both of them.
The two fish were weighed at Zhao Youcai's store and the total weight was 9 jin.4 taels, a total of 3384 yuan.
In addition to other groupers, miscellaneous fish, shrimps, crabs, and sea cucumbers, this trip sold a total of 6300 yuan.
Not much, a little different from what Shen Fei expected, mainly because he thought sea cucumbers should be quite expensive, but he didn't expect that one catty would only sell for two yuan and three cents.
After paying the bill, Shen Fei drove the tricycle, carrying his two sons, three children and Wu Qiujin home.
The two big dogs that followed him had to run away by themselves.
On the tricycle, the three children stood next to several seafood net bags and explained science to Wu Qiujin.
Mengmeng said: "Mom, look at this big crab, its belly is round, which means it is a crab mother. Dad said that this crab mother will taste better, it has red paste."
"Auntie, look at this, this is a nine-segment shrimp, it is very delicious, and tastes almost the same as lobster." Xiaoliu pointed to the nine-segment shrimp next to her, which was bigger than her forearm.
Seeing that they were all introducing, Niuniu also found one and pointed to a big mantis shrimp and said:
"Auntie, this is shrimp mushroom, it is also sweet and delicious, but it is not easy to peel the shell, we have to wait for Dad to peel it for us..."
After hearing their introduction and looking at the seafood in the carriage, Wu Qiujin was really a little confused.
Before, she didn't take it seriously when she heard the three little ones chattering on the phone.
Now she saw with her own eyes that Shen Fei lavishly brought home very valuable large red grouper, super large shrimp mushroom, super large nine-segment shrimp, big crab and other seafood, and the three little guys seemed to be very familiar with these seafood and introduced them very experienced...
She suddenly felt that if she took Mengmeng back to the provincial capital, she might not be able to support her...
If she couldn't even support her, how could she compete with Shen Fei for a child?
Look at them, they made more than 6,000 yuan in the morning and brought so many valuable seafood home, how could she, a little nurse, compare? !
Wu Qiujin felt a little melancholy, and she forced herself to talk about seafood with the three little ones.
After not seeing each other for a while, she found that Mengmeng's knowledge of seafood was really better than her mother's.
Mengmeng could recognize many seafood at a glance, and even when she asked what seafood it was, Mengmeng could quickly guess it.
What's more outrageous is that when it comes to seafood, Mengmeng can always tell the taste and texture. The little foodie has really gained experience in eating during this period!
