Chapter 19 Aquatic Products Market

Gao Baosheng woke up from his sleep when he heard the driver shouting that Chang'an had arrived. As soon as he got up, he saw that the small backpack he was carrying had a cut open. He only brought a change of clothes inside, which is still there.

There was also a cut in his right pocket, and the 12 yuan and 30 cents in it were 12 yuan less. The thief still had the conscience to leave him 30 cents. Baosheng heard that a passenger was arguing with the person following the car. The scene seemed very serious.

lively.

"I have told you many times to take care of your gifts and valuables. If you lose it, it is your business. How can you rely on us? If you don't get off, others will get off!" Follow the car!

the conductor shouted.

"You are not allowed to get out of the car. The car didn't stop last night. I lost 1,500 yuan and a watch. It must be on someone in the car now. Let's go to the police station together. No one can leave today."

a man shouted loudly.

At this time, many people also found out that their money had been stolen, and they also blocked the door to prevent everyone from getting off. The driver looked at the conductor in embarrassment, but the conductor still insisted that this matter had nothing to do with them, and they did not want to go to the police station.

After struggling for more than ten minutes, the passengers in the car found that more and more people were throwing things away, but the driver just didn't say anything. At this time, management personnel from the station had already arrived to check what was wrong with the car.

Gao Baosheng squeezed to the door of the car at this time. He picked up his package and showed everyone his pockets.

"It would be best to go directly to the police station, but I have something else to do, how about you let me go down first? I don't want this package if it's torn, and I can't wear the clothes if they're torn.

I don’t have room to put money or watches on my body, so let me go down first!” Gao Baosheng said.

The driver opened the door, and the passenger blocking the door saw that Gao Baosheng didn't look like he had a place to hide anything, so he asked him to get out of the car. Gao Baosheng got out of the car and took a breath of fresh air, and heard another noise in the car behind him.

.

After squeezing out of the bus station, Gao Baosheng experienced for the first time what it means to be crowded. The entire station was full of people carrying large and small bags. As the largest city in the northwest, the prosperity of Chang'an is not comparable to Suicheng.

I had breakfast at the door. A bowl of eight-treasure porridge and two meat buns cost 1.7 yuan. The price was a bit expensive, but the taste was really good.

I asked the breakfast shop owner where he could rent a car and learned that it was in the west of the city, not far from the bus station.

Although it's not far, Chang'an City is nearly ten times the size of Suicheng City. It's nearly ten kilometers away. Baosheng stopped a three-wheeled motorcycle and sent him to the gate of the rental car town for $2.

"Sir, do you want to buy a car or rent a car?" A beautiful woman in uniform came over. This place is different from Suicheng.

"Rent a car, rent a smaller truck, what's the rental method here?" Gao Baosheng asked.

"To rent a car, you need a driving school. To rent a truck, you need a truck driver's license. Sir, please let us see your driver's license first." The beauty said politely.

Gao Baosheng took out his driver's license, and the beauty looked at it and handed it back to him, then took him to the internal parking lot, which was originally part of the Northwest Auto City, and was full of new and old cars.

"Sir, how big a truck do you need and how long do you need to rent it for? Our car city rental requires a deposit, so I need to tell you this in advance!" He didn't say.

"A smaller truck can haul two to three thousand kilograms of fish and return it in one day," Gao Baosheng said.

Gao Baosheng was taken to a place where trucks are rented in the car city. There are everything from semi-trailers with a load capacity of 40 tons to light trucks with a load capacity of only 2 tons.

Gao Baosheng saw a 50-bell light truck. This truck was considered the main force in short-distance transportation in the 1980s. The ordinary version had a load capacity of 5.5 tons. It was cheap but lacked power.

"How much does this car cost per day?" Gao Baosheng asked looking at this 50-ton light truck.

"This car costs 220 yuan a day, and the deposit is 8,800 yuan! If you rent it on a weekly basis, it costs 1,400 yuan a week, and 4,000 yuan a month!" said the beauty.

"Your car is so old that it's not even worth 8,800. The deposit is too expensive!" Gao Baosheng said.

"Sir, you can use the deposit to pay the rent when you return the car. Our car rental is covered by insurance, so you have to consider the risks we bear, right?" the beauty said with a smile.

"Can the rental fee be any cheaper? I want to buy a larger truck tomorrow, and I'll come back to you then." Gao Baosheng said.

"The rental price is set by the company, and it can't be any cheaper... If you come to me to buy a car, I will definitely give you the lowest price!" He said.

"Okay! Then this is the one!" Gao Baosheng pointed at the 50-ton light truck and said.

"Okay, sir, how can you pay the deposit?" The beauty asked politely, seeing that Gao Baosheng was empty-handed and didn't look like he was carrying money.

"Where is your bathroom here?"

Driving a 50-ling light truck out of the city, Gao Baosheng already had some knowledge of the aquatic products wholesale market in the west of Chang'an City. Chang'an City is also a city in northwest China, and aquaculture is still in its infancy. Common grass carp sells for 1.8 yuan per pound here.

, the wild one costs about three yuan.

The price of fish in Chang'an City is cheaper than that in Yuyang County. Gao Baosheng had expected this. The transportation cost of fish sold here is high, and the purchase price of fish will be lower. Fortunately, there are many people and the demand is high. Gao Baosheng has more than 2,000 kilograms of fish splashed here.

Not a splash of water.

When he came to a market, Gao Baosheng bought a 20-meter-long thick plastic sheet and asked the shop owner to work with him to lay three layers in the carriage, which was enough for Gao Baosheng to put the fish in.

Driving to the edge of the Weihe River, Gao Baosheng stopped the car and used a warehouse in the middle to pour half a car's worth of river water into the car, and then poured about ten liters of space water into the water.

Then I dumped all the fish in the space warehouse into the carriage, and slowly all the fish started to move.

Gao Baosheng poured another two liters of space water into the carriage, and the fish began to become more active. He did not dare to add too much space water to the fish. If the fish was too active, it would be bad to jump out of the carriage.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Driving to the Chengxi Aquatic Products Wholesale Market, Gao Baosheng was blocked by the market manager as soon as he entered the door.

"Stop for inspection!" the administrator shouted to Gao Baosheng.

When Gao Baosheng got off the car, several administrators had climbed onto his carriage to start inspection.

"What's in the carriage? Where did it come from?" The leader held a notebook and said to Gao Baosheng while recording.

"The fish from Yuyang County, Suicheng are all wild fish from the desert lake. They were caught yesterday afternoon and they were brought over without stopping!" Gao Baosheng replied.

The inspection people quickly lay down on the carriage and watched for a while. One person caught a few fish from inside, examined them carefully and put them back into the carriage. The inspection in this provincial capital city is different from that in Suicheng City, and they are more carefully observed.

rule.

After more than ten minutes, the administrator finished checking and then walked towards Gao Baosheng.

"It's wild grass carp, as well as crucian carp, bighead carp, and silver carp. It's about 2,400 kilograms. Pay a management fee of 160 yuan and go to station 43." The administrator said to Gao Baosheng while tearing up the ticket.

Gao Baosheng paid the management fee and came to No. 43. The location is not small. There are some cars selling aquatic products around. There are many samples in front of the counter. Gao Baosheng looked at them and they were basically fish, shrimps, and crabs.

The clams and clams are both produced in Qin Province. The crabs are very small, the shrimps are ordinary green shrimps and crayfish, and the clams are also produced in ordinary freshwater lakes. Most of them are only the size of a fingernail.

"What kind of business are you doing, little brother? You drive such a big car!" A lobster seller next to him looked at Gao Baosheng and said.

The boss speaks Chang'an dialect, which is far different from northern Shaanxi dialect. Gao Baosheng studied in Chang'an City for two years in his previous life, but he can only understand Qin provincial dialect. He can only communicate with the other party in Mandarin.

"Fish, wild grass carp, and some other fish, uncle, there don't seem to be many people in this market, and no one has much business!" Gao Baosheng said.

"Those who are engaged in aquatic product retailing come here to buy goods at three or four in the morning. At five or six o'clock, people from high-end hotels pick up the goods. At seven or eight o'clock, people rush to the morning market. It's just after that.

The busiest time here is after ten o'clock, and the crowd basically disperses at three o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, there will be second-hand dealers and some aquatic product companies coming here to sweep goods. Although the money they give is low, it is still good for us.

It's also profitable.

Little brother, your carriage is so high and there are no samples below, but it’s hard to get business.” The lobster boss said to Gao Baosheng while picking some large lobsters from the tricycle behind him and placing them in front to attract customers.

"Thank you, uncle, for informing me. This is my first time here, and I have no preparations. If not, I will wait until the afternoon." Gao Baosheng indeed forgot that setting up a stall does not require just using a car to bring the fish. He had better get a small water tank.

.

"There is a pot seller in front. You can buy a few. I can look after them for you first," the lobster boss said.

Gao Baosheng saw that the place selling pots was only more than 20 meters away from here, and there were many people doing business around it, so he quickly went to the place selling pots and bought two large square pots, a steel scale, and some fish sellers.

of plastic bags.

He went up to the carriage to fetch water, but his strength was limited and he could only reach the bottom. He had no choice but to fill the basin with space water, and then he grabbed a few fish from the carriage and threw them in.

As a result, the fish became very active after entering the water basin. Gao Baosheng finally carried the water basin to the front of the car alone, and a fish jumped out of the basin. He hurriedly went to catch the fish.

The fish was really energetic. Gao Baosheng caught it several times but failed to catch it. When the fish lost its strength, Gao Baosheng finally caught it and two more jumped out of the basin.

Gao Baosheng wiped the fish clean and put it into the water basin, and then went to catch the fish that jumped out of the water basin. He regretted that there was too much water in the water basin. The fish was too energetic, so the water basin was actually a barrier.

These fish can't live.

"Boss, your fish is so energetic! It's rare!" A man passed by and saw Gao Baosheng in a hurry to catch the fish, so he stepped forward to help.

"They are all wild fish. They have stronger vitality. Thank you very much!" Gao Baosheng looked at the man who had just grabbed the fish on the ground. The fish actually jumped higher than the man. The fish tail hit the man's arm with a "snap" sound.

Everyone heard it.

"Boss, how do you sell this fish? Is it retail?" A lady in her 10s and 50s who was visiting the market came up to ask after seeing the good fish here.

"Retail sale, 4.2 yuan per pound." Gao Baosheng said.

"Why is it so expensive? It's only two yuan per catty in the retail market." Although the lady said it was expensive, she still came to Baosheng's water basin. She poked the largest fish in the basin with her finger, and the fish suddenly jumped.

Jumped out of the water basin more than one meter high.

"My fish all come from Suicheng City. The wild fish from Green Sea Lake in Yuyang County have firm and nutritious meat, which is not comparable to ordinary fish.

I just entered the market and there are no tools for handling fish. If you want to buy them, you can kill them elsewhere," Gao Baosheng said.

"Give me that one, the biggest one...yes, the one in your hand." The lady didn't bargain. She also saw that Baosheng's fish was different from ordinary fish, so she ordered the biggest one.

"Three pounds and nine taels, 16.38 yuan, I'll charge you 16 yuan!" Gao Baosheng tied the fish bag to the scale, weighed it and said.

The lady pays. This market generally does not allow fish to be killed. There is a place for killing fish and processing aquatic products near the entrance. The charge for killing a fish is not high, so many people buy live fish and take them back.

Gao Baosheng handed the fish to the lady and scooped some water into the bag from his basin. The fish jumped around in the plastic bag, and the lady was so strong that she couldn't hold it.

"Little brother, I've never seen that fish of yours before. It jumps over one meter high in one leap. It's so strong that it's more active than the fish that just left the fish pond." The lobster boss said.

"This is a wild fish. It is different from those raised in fish ponds. The fish in the fish pond will grow to more than two kilograms in one year. This wild fish has no one to feed it, so it only takes a year to grow bigger. This small one can at least

I have lived for seven or eight years!

Uncle, this is my first time doing this kind of business, so you should help the younger ones more!" Baosheng saw that this uncle was a very nice person, so he smiled and said to him.

The lady bought the fish, and when people nearby saw it, they came over to ask about the price. Some people who didn't want to buy also gathered around to watch Baosheng keep catching fish. The fish was really energetic.

Occasionally someone wanted to buy fish, and the lobster uncle would always come forward to help. But after a while, Baosheng sold a few fish, all for 4.21 pounds. After a while, Baosheng got big business.

"Boss, I want to buy two hundred live fish, all about one and a half kilograms of grass carp, and send them alive to Yaozhou City. Can these fish survive?" A man in formal clothes came to Gao Baosheng and asked.

"How do you plan to get lucky?" Gao Baosheng asked.

"Can we use that water jar? We will hold a traditional Chinese medicine cultural exchange meeting with Sun Simiao, the king of Chinese medicine, the day after tomorrow. We will use this fish to entertain guests. The people attending the exchange meeting are not simple," said the young man.

"The water jug ​​is fine, just don't seal the mouth." Gao Baosheng got on the car to pick fish, and the young man asked a three-wheeled motorcycle pulling the water jug ​​to drive over.

"Boss, your fish doesn't seem to be as energetic as the fish in the basin!" The young man said when he saw that the fish Gao Baosheng selected from the carriage was not very energetic.

"Try throwing it into that basin!" Gao Baosheng said while selecting fish.
