Chapter 30 Selling Fish
As soon as the middle-aged man’s words came out, many people present looked directly at him.
"Lao Gao, look at how sweaty you are, you just came from the market, right?"
"I even suspected that you were born in the year of the dog. Your nose is so sharp. You can smell the fishy smell for several miles from the market, so you rush here as soon as possible.”
“Last time, a fishing friend accidentally caught a mandarin fish, and so did Lao Gao. It came quickly.”
...
Many people present seemed to know this middle-aged man.
Everyone smiled and took the initiative to say hello and joke with him.
This old man knows how to be a good person. No matter how sweat drips down his face, he always has a smile on his face and spreads cigarettes to everyone one by one.
“Fishmonger?” Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment. From everyone’s words, Jiang Yao quickly figured out the identity of this person.
After thinking for a while, he tentatively said: "Brother Gao, how did you get this fish? If the price is right, I will definitely sell it to you."
"Everyone who knows me, Lao Gao, knows that , I have always been honest in business, and I will definitely not be cruel to you when it comes to price."
Lao Gao walked up to Jiang Yao in a few steps and greeted him with a smile. He knelt down and looked at Jiang Yao's fish several times.
Then he spoke again: "For a fish as big as yours, I can pay eight yuan a pound."
"Few people will buy back a fish of more than twenty pounds. It’s not easy to sell your fish at the vegetable market.”
"I collected this fish because I have cooperation with many restaurants and restaurants, and I can sell the fish to them."
"Eight yuan per catty, the price I paid is very fair. As a As a middleman, I can only earn a dozen or twenty yuan at most."
...
Occasionally, Lao Gao looked very honest while explaining to Jiang Yao. Check his expression out of the corner of your eye.
As businessmen, observing words and emotions is an essential skill for them.
A slight movement on Jiang Yao's face fell into his eyes, and he explained more enthusiastically with his tongue shining like a lotus flower.
During this period of time, Jiang Yao has gone to the market to sell fish several times.
However, because the grass carp he sells is dead and not very fresh, the price is not high, basically about three yuan per catty.
The grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms was not even sold for three yuan a kilogram just because it was too big.
The catfish in front of me is indeed not easy to sell in the vegetable market. What Lao Gao said is indeed the truth.
He was able to sell the fish after taking it away, because he had the channels to make a little difference in price, which was also his own skill.
After hearing the old man’s offer of eight yuan a pound, Jiang Yao was actually very moved by the offer, but he didn’t show it so obviously.
After a moment of reserve, he tentatively said: "Brother Gao, it's only eight yuan, can't it be higher?"
My heart was moved, who doesn't want to sell more money? , even Jiang Yao is the same.
“Little brother, the price I paid is really very honest.”
"My boss, Gao, collects fish from this river more than once or twice. Everyone who knows me knows what kind of temper I have."
"Even if you take the fish to the market and sell them to others, Man, I can guarantee that no one will bid higher than me!"
...
Old Gao swears by it, but he just doesn't swear it directly to the sky.
After hearing what he said, Jiang Yao did not continue to bargain. He nodded: "Eight yuan is eight yuan, just sell it to you, Brother Gao!"
"By the way, you only collect catfish? What about grass carp and carp?"
As he finished speaking, he asked again casually.
After all, currently, selling fish is his main way to make money.
Catching this catfish really depends on luck, but if it is grass carp and carp, he is guaranteed to catch it often.
When a fishmonger like Lao Gao collects fish, the price may be slightly lower than the market price, but selling it to him is more convenient and fast.
After all, a fishmonger like him has wider channels and it is easier to sell fish. Unlike Jiang Yao, the ten-pound grass carp sat in the market all morning and no one wanted it. In the end it had to be dealt with cheaply. "I don't accept grass carp and carp there. If you catch mandarin fish, mandarin fish or that kind of big fish, I will always ask for it."
"Just a little over from the hospital. The eighth shop on the left side of the vegetable market is my shop.”
“I often go out to collect fish and am not in the shop, but my customers are there every day.”
"If I weren't here, it would be the same if you were looking for her!"
...
While speaking, Lao Gao took out a business card and handed it to Jiang Yao with both hands.
Gao Liqiang's phone number: xxx Pager number: XXX...
The content on the business card is very simple, just a name, followed by a phone number and pager number.
"Fortunately, it's Gao Liqiang, it's Gao Qiqiang..." Taking the business card, Jiang Yao looked at it and put it in his pocket.
He looked a little weird and muttered to himself.
When he talked about the fishmonger, he thought of Gao Qiqiang. The man in front of him was only one word different from the big fish seller.
“Twenty-three catties and eight taels, let’s count you as twenty-four catties!”
“Little brother, come on, take a look for yourself!”
Jiang When Yao put away the business card, the old master had already put the catfish into a snakeskin bag and started weighing it.
Of course, he did not carry Jiang Yao on his back during the weigh-in. Instead, he checked with Jiang Yao after the weigh-in.
"Yeah! That's right, it's twenty-four pounds, but I still took advantage of you, Brother Gao!" Jiang Yao nodded and responded with a smile.
"What a bargain. If you catch a big fish in the future, don't forget to inform Brother Gao!"
With a smile, Lao Gao took out a stack of fish from his pocket. Banknotes, start counting money.
“Eight yuan a pound, twenty-four pounds is one hundred and ninety-two.”
"Collect the money, you click it."
"Well, the number is correct, it is indeed one hundred and ninety-two."
......
Took over Lao Gao Jiang Yao counted the stack of banknotes handed over.
After receiving his confirmation, Lao Gao did not stay any longer.
Carrying the snakeskin bag containing the fish and holding a scale in the other hand, after saying hello to a few people he knew around him, he took big steps and walked quickly along the way he came.
“A fish sold for almost 200 yuan, why am I not so lucky?”
“People’s fishing method can throw you far, but you can only catch two fish with a hand rod. It’s difficult to catch such a big fish at a distance of three meters!”
“I have learned his fishing method. I will also get a few sets of that kind of fishing gear tomorrow. Play in the river.”
……
The fish had been sold, Jiang Yao had collected the money, and the people watching the excitement began to disperse one by one.
Not to mention the fishermen nearby, even those guys who came down from the vegetable fields, their eyes were hot and they were chatting in low voices as they moved forward.
“I made almost two hundred yuan, and I got a good harvest today.”
“My mental energy was exhausted. I didn’t have any energy left after all the hard work in order to get that fish. Strength.”
“It’s getting hotter and hotter today. Forget it, go back and have a good sleep to keep your spirits up!”
...
Touching the stack of banknotes in his pocket, Jiang Yao felt happy and was not ready to continue fishing. As soon as he collected his things, he started to leave.
