My Deep-sea Fishery

Soon, Xiang Yang took Xu Fang and several other crew members to Dai Xiaolong's ocean-going processing mother ship.

Boss Xiang. Dai Xiaolong personally went to the side of the boat to meet Xiang Yang, and shook hands with Xiang Yang warmly.

Where's the herring on your boat? Although this fish doesn't have a good reputation, if it's fresh, it actually tastes pretty good, and it should be able to sell for a good price. Yang was naturally polite, and he said something that made people happy.

Dai Xiaolong blinked, There are three kinds of herring on my boat, which one do you want to look at first? Why don't you look at the ones I've processed and made into cans first?

Xiang Yang was almost choked to death by Dai Xiaolong's words.

Hey, don't look at this one, let me look at the other two first. Xiang Yang sweated.

Dai Xiaolong immediately grinned when he heard this, Boss Xiang, I was just joking. Although canned herring is well-known, it is not so well-known in our country. Don't look at me as young. I'm also an old fisherman, and my family has been fishing for three generations, so I wouldn't be stupid to make fresh herring into cans, wouldn't that be a problem with money?

Only then did Xiang Yang's face return to normal, That's right, canned herring is actually a food preservation method invented by fishermen in the Middle Ages when they had no refrigerators and lacked materials to preserve food. When it comes to taste, I really don't agree.

This is the custom of others, and we are not used to it.

Dai Xiaolong said with a smile: Boss Xiang, let's go, let's go and have a look in the cabin.

The cabin of this ship is the kind with a hollow hull.

Inside the hull, there are several layers.

The bottom layer is several living water tanks separated by iron plates.

Then above the living water tank, there is an oversized freezing tank.

Dai Xiaolong took Xiang Yang to the floor of the frozen cabin.

Look, that's it. Dai Xiaolong pointed to some foam boxes piled up in the extra-large frozen cabin.

Xiang Yang said in surprise: Captain Dai, your fish tank is almost full, and you still want to continue sailing in the ocean?

Dai Xiaolong shrugged his shoulders and said: What's the use of having a full warehouse, there are more than ten ships in the fleet are still empty, if I go back, maybe I won't be able to come back if I lie down.

Xiang Yang was taken aback when he heard this, and then nodded. That's right, the fuel consumption and crew expenses for such a huge ship going out to sea are immeasurable.

If these herrings were given to Xiang Yang, it would be a pretty good harvest for Xiang Yang.

But for a fleet that is several times larger than Xiang Yang's fleet, this catch may not be enough for the fleet's daily consumption.

This is the ship's catastrophic U-turn.

Can you open the box and have a look? Xiang Yang asked Dai Xiaolong.

Dai Xiaolong did not speak, but made a gesture of please,

Xiang Yang looked at Fang Youqun and said, Go, just bring a few boxes over here and have a look.

Fang Youqun understood immediately. He quickly walked towards the catch pile, picked up several foam boxes from different places, and carried them over one by one.

Xiang Yang asked someone to open the foam box. Inside, there were strips of Atlantic herring lying flat, regardless of their size, which looked good.

Dai Xiaolong reached out and took out a gray-silver herring from one of the foam boxes, Do you want to try the taste?

Try the taste? Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows and asked.

Dai Xiaolong took out a switchblade, cut off the head of the herring with one knife, and then cut open the belly of the fish with another knife, took out all the internal organs with a knife and discarded them.

In fact, besides canned herring, there is also a very famous way to eat herring, which is to cut open the belly of the fish, clean its internal organs, and then lift the tail of the fish and swallow the fish directly. Do you want to try it? Dai Xiaolong said while holding the herring tail.

Xiang Yang shook his head, although this way of eating is much easier for Xiang Yang to accept than canned herring, after all, it is not that Xiang Yang has never seen raw seafood, on the contrary, Xiang Yang has seen a lot of it.

But Xiang Yang is still not used to all raw seafood including sashimi.

It's a pity if you don't eat it. In fact, for me, the herring has to be eaten like this to be delicious. It has a strong fish fragrance and a faint smell of the ocean. Dai Xiaolong stuffed the herring into his mouth. Then close your eyes and enjoy it.

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that no matter how delicious your food is, I will never eat it.

How much do you plan to sell these herrings per catty? Xiang Yang asked.

As soon as he talked about business, Dai Xiaolong immediately became serious. He stretched out a hand and made a gesture.

Xiang Yang frowned, Eighty?

Yes, the quality of my herring is very good, and as you just saw, it can be directly made into sashimi. They are all produced in polluted polar seas. Dai Xiaolong said.

Xiang Yang smiled wryly and said: Boss Dai, if you say that, then we can't talk about this business. I can only give you thirty yuan a catty for these herrings at most.

Dai Xiaolong almost shouted: What? Thirty? Do you know how much these herrings usually sell for a catty in hotels? These are all wild.

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, Dai Xiaolong's reaction was a little too big.

In fact, there is something wrong with Dai Xiaolong's asking price. Even if the purchase price of these herrings reaches the pier, they will definitely not sell for 80 yuan a catty, not to mention that it is still at sea, and Xiang Yang has to carry it for a while before returning to the shore. side.

Therefore, there is also a problem with Xiang Yang's asking price. The price he asked is very low.

These fish are indeed authentic herring, but firstly, they are already frozen fish. Secondly, the quantity is huge. There are at least hundreds of tons here. I may not be able to sell all of them when I pull them back. Thirdly, this is the sea. I have to pull another ride myself, so I can't give you too much at this price, if you want me to pull, forty yuan, this is the limit I can give. Xiang Yang said.

Impossible. These are the highest-grade herrings. You can take them home and serve them directly on the table. You can take them to the hotel and sell them for more than 100 yuan a catty. People buy them for 70 yuan. Just do it, don’t forget it.” Dai Xiaolong also said.

Both of them took a step back, which proved that they both wanted to talk.

But negotiations, of course, cannot be discussed in just a wave of confrontation. Next, the two used their own methods to start a rather intense negotiation.

In the end, Dai Xiaolong included all the costs of fuel, labor, shipping, etc., and the two finally negotiated a price. These herrings were all sold to Xiang Yang at a price of 65 yuan per catty.
