Chapter 56: Convincing people with money
“Boss Liu.”
“Why are you here?”
Zhao Dahai looked back and saw that the person calling him was Hongyun Liu Gang from the restaurant was thinking about whether to go to his place to see if his mussels would be accepted. Unexpectedly, he encountered mussels sold here.
Liu Gang pointed to the dry goods street not far away. If the restaurant wanted some dry goods, he came here to find some old acquaintances to get some.
"Are you here to sell something in the town?"
Liu Gang glanced at the bag on the shelf on the back seat of the motorcycle. People in the village and town like to use it to carry things.
Zhao Dahai said he came here to sell mussels.
Liu Gang remembered the low tide a few days ago. Almost every family in the fishing village around the mirror went out to dig mussels. The ones Zhao Dahai sold must have been dug and dried by himself. He quickly asked where the mussels were. When he heard It has been sold, and I yelled that it was a pity. When I heard the price, I kept saying that the price was too low, and I would definitely ask a higher price.
“Isn’t that what you said last time? If you have any good things, send them to my restaurant first?!”
Liu Gang complained half-seriously.
“Hahaha!”
“Boss Liu.”
“I am thinking that your restaurant sells fresh seafood and does not accept dry goods.”
< br>Zhao Dahai did say this himself and explained it.
Liu Gang said that his price was low, so he would definitely offer a higher price? No mussels were seen. Just listen to this, but don't take it seriously. Liu Gang knew the market situation here in the town very well. The lower the price, the more money he could make. As long as he opened a higher price than the shops in Dry Goods Street, it would be enough. If he hadn't happened to meet Wu Weimin, Liu Gang would have sold it for only 45 yuan or even 40 yuan.
“I remember that you are from Langtou Village, right?!”
Liu Gang remembered that Zhao Dahai had said that he was from Langtou Village and that the mussels had been sold, so there was no use in dwelling on it.
“That’s right.”
“What happened?”
Zhao Dahai was a little surprised. He didn't know why Liu Gang suddenly said this.
“Are there blood eels in your village?”
Liu Gang then asked.
“Boss Liu.”
“You don’t want to get some blood eels, do you?”
Zhao Dahai asked immediately. The blood eel is a kind of eel in the sea. It looks a bit like an eel in fresh water. Its back is light yellow with purple, and its belly is white with purple. It is not big. The largest one is generally less than half a meter long, and the thickest one is not even. No more than two centimeters in diameter. The meat is plump and tender, and its biggest feature is that it has a lot of blood. This is the origin of its name. It has the functions of nourishing qi and blood, nourishing the stomach and improving eyesight. It is a high-end seafood. Liu Gang owns a restaurant, so it's normal for him to want to collect some blood eels.
When Liu Gang heard that there were indeed blood eels, he immediately said that he wanted to collect them, no matter how many, the more the better.
Zhao Dahai smiled bitterly. The more the better, no matter how much you want? Blood eels generally live in shallow waters not far from mudflats. They can be reached by walking a few steps into the sea, but it is not easy to catch or dig them up.
“Boss Liu.”
“You are an expert.”
"I must know that the blood eels in our town or several nearby villages are not that easy to deal with. They are all made of sea mud or simply sand and gravel. They can only be dug with a hoe, which is very laborious."
Zhao The sea knows very well that blood eels are difficult to deal with. "Can you dig some?"
Liu Gang became anxious upon hearing this. This is really good stuff. Now is the season of blood eel. Dozens of old customers have been calling to ask if it is available. I have been having a headache over this matter in the past few days. However, as Zhao Dahai said, Blood eels are very difficult to catch and no one wants to do it.
“If you want to sell this thing, just get it from other places! I have heard that it is easier to catch this thing in some places. The right tide can be raked with a special rake. ”
Zhao Dahai remembered that he had heard that it was easier to catch blood eels in some places.
“Hey!”
“I don’t dare to do this.”
“The blood eels in other places all look the same, but this is not the case. We have blood eels here.”
Liu Gang shook his head. There are obvious regional differences in seafood. Don't look at the same blood eels, don't talk about other provinces, even here in the town there are strict differences, the ones in front of Langtou Village are the best, several nearby villages can accept them, and the ones in other villages can't sell for the price. Purchase from somewhere else? If they really dare to do such a thing, those old customers will 100% ruin their own brands.
"Can you dig?!"
Liu Gang stared at Zhao Dahai. Blood eels dig holes in the mudflats, which can be more than one meter deep. There may be holes within a radius of four to five meters. When frightened, they move very fast, making it impossible for experienced and unskilled people to dig. This is actually another reason why blood eels are very rare and difficult to acquire. Nowadays, few people have such ability.
Zhao Dahai nodded. He is a master at digging for blood eels. He would dig after his little ones, and he would naturally learn it after seeing it too much.
"Boss Liu. Whether you can dig is one thing, whether you are willing to dig is another. It is too difficult to make money digging blood eels, I would rather catch jumping fish."
< br>Zhao Dahai is not kidding, he is not leaving his money without making money. The market price of blood eel is about one hundred yuan per catty. However, it is too difficult to deal with, too labor-intensive, and exhausting. He digs one or two catties a day and makes a profit. It doesn’t cost much. The price of ordinary jumping fish is far less than that of blood eels, but jumping fish is much simpler.
"One hundred and eighty yuan per catty for an average size!"
"Two hundred and twenty yuan per catty for one centimeter thick and over. Three hundred yuan per catty for two centimeters thick."
Liu Gang made a price directly without saying anything.
“Hey!”
“Boss Liu. How could you do this?”
Zhao Dahai was a little depressed. Digging blood eels is indeed very hard, but it is different if you have money, and even more different if you have a lot of money. The price Liu Gang offered was more than double the normal market price, and he was clearly trying to convince people with money.
"Ha!"
"Old customers have to get some blood eels to eat! What can I do?"
Liu Gang is a little helpless, the old customers are his Parents who have enough food and clothing, and who are not short of money, directly said that as long as they have money, they will be fine, and they can only think of ways as much as possible.
Zhao Dahai grinded it carefully for a while and nodded, but he didn't say anything. He just said that he would go around in the sea in the next few days. If he dug it, he would bring it to him. If he couldn't dig it, he would pull it down.
Liu Gang watched Zhao Dahai riding his motorcycle farther and farther with a proud smile on his face. Why is no one willing to dig up blood comics? In the final analysis, it is very hard work, and the money earned is not much and disproportionate. However, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. If he offers a higher price, Zhao Dahai will definitely not be able to resist. The price of two hundred yuan or three hundred yuan per pound does not make much difference to me. As long as the price is within a certain reasonable range, it is those who eat blood eels who end up paying, not you.
“Liu Gang!”
“Do you know that kid just now!?”
Liu Gang was startled. Someone called him from behind. When he looked back, he saw that he had known him for many years. My old friend Cheng Wenfeng came to Dry Goods Street today just to pick up some dry goods from his store.
