Chapter 62 The Hateful Fishmonger
Chapter 62 The Hateful Fishmonger
Song Laoqi was a little dumbfounded. He only paid fifty, so he would lose half of it. Just for this fish, his net was broken.
Also, I didn’t go to sea today by myself, but with my elder brother, third brother. That would be divided between two people. After such a calculation, I was afraid that the only thing I could get was a few hundred yuan. And this fish is a good thing!
"Look at your fish yourself. I'm not talking about you. You are also an old fisherman. You don't pay attention to the net. If you lose the quality, how can I sell it?"
That fishmonger is an acquaintance of Lao Qi himself. It is impossible for the fishermen in this village to go to sea every day. Sometimes they catch small fish or some common fish nearby for three to five days, and sometimes they go out to catch fish in a distant sea once a month or two.
Those who dare to go further, that is to go in a team, counting an interview period to fight. This kind of income is a lot, and the fish they catch cannot be sold in the market by themselves. They are all through this kind of second-hand traffickers. These people take the fish from the fishermen at a lower price, and then sell them to restaurants at a high price. these places.
They make huge profits from it! Although the people on both ends know it, they have their own methods, so that the fishermen have to rely on them to get out the goods in their hands.
Actually, when he first saw this fish, the dealer was secretly happy. Recently, there are very few big guys who are worth seeing. I don't know why, but recently it's all small seafood. And those high-end restaurants have urged it several times, but I don’t have any goods in hand. Now that I have this fish, I have to make a profit no matter what!
It is normal to lower the price, but when I saw that the fish was a little injured, I was even happier. This immediately lowered the price, and said with a sad face:
"Lao Qi, it's not the first time we have dealt with people. You called me when you were still at sea and said that you have something good. See if I drove the car and waited. The thing is a big guy, but This injury really ruins the price. If I give you fifty, maybe I will die before I can bring it back to the city. You also know that the seafood is fresh! If it dies, I will die. Thousands of dollars are in vain!"
Having said that, he sighed heartbroken again and again. Everyone felt that he was really embarrassed. Song Laoqi is an honest man, when he saw this and heard this, he immediately felt that he was being made difficult by others? I am a fish, but will I entrap others?
Look at Lao Qi's appearance. Song Laosan stood up and said:
"Boss, you can give us a real price for this fish. If it's 50, we really won't sell it! Also, we don't only have this fish, we also have other species, large and small."
The fishmonger looked at other things, shook his head and said:
"I don't know why now, but the seafood you get out of this sea is not very good. I have smashed my hands twice, and I can't take it back. I eat it at home, eat it every day, and eat it all the time. My son is willing to eat steamed buns instead of these."
After talking about it, I still feel that other people's fish is not fresh, so that I can lower my own price, and those who drive a car to do business, even complained to these people.
It's really a businessman, a profiteer, no profiteer, no business!
The people watching on the side are all sober-minded people. When everyone heard this, they were all angry. This person talked too much. Is it easy for fishermen to go out to sea once? That's the money that was exchanged for their lives, usually 20% below the market price was given to them, and now they are still here to lower the price.
Everyone started discussing what you said and what I said, and everyone felt that the price he handled these fish in this way was not reasonable. Listening to what everyone said, no matter how honest Song Laoqi was, he would not sell at this price.
The dealer talked for a while, seeing that Song Laoqi still wouldn't sell it, but he didn't want to pay a higher price. In a fit of anger, he actually threatened these fishermen, and said harshly:
"If you don't sell it to me, you will have to die. Look at the weather and the sun. After a while, all the seafood in your boat will taste bad!"
This sentence is a bit harsh, this weather is not winter, these things can't be stored for long.
As the dealer said, he was about to pack up the other two boats of seafood and left. He said that he would not buy the ones on Song Laoqi's boat.
Song Laoqi froze there. Even Song Laosan was stunned and didn't speak. If he doesn't want this person, even if he finds someone else later, half of the seafood here may be spoiled. It's even less fresh and the price is lower!
Song Lao San looked at Lao Qi, the two brothers were bitter. This is forcing them to sell! Song Laoqi felt a surge of sadness, squatted down on the bow of the boat, and buried his face in the palm of his hand.
Seeing Song Laoqi's sad look. Zhou An feels uncomfortable! It seems that I saw it when I was a child, and my father also had such a time when he was forced to sell it at a lower price. At that time, I didn't understand, but seeing that kind of appearance now, a kind of pain from the bottom of my heart surged up.
Zhou An stood up and said:
"Uncle Song Qi, you can't sell it! He is deliberately lowering your price!"
"Which onion are you! Do you have a place to speak?"
The fishmonger watched Zhou An stand up, and directly took the conversation to Zhou An.
Zhou An looked at the fishway:
"This fish, everyone present can see that it is a high-quality fish. If you say that the fish is injured, then the supermarkets only sell fish meat. Let's sort out the fish and sell it. Even if the price is lower than the market price, it’s not only fifty yuan a catty!”
"Boy, if you dare to stand up and speak out, you have to take responsibility! Let me tell you, the suppliers in this city are all in our hands. Without us, your seafood cannot be sold. !Then you really can only drink the sea breeze!"
This is true, Zhou An is not frightened, Zhou An raised his eyebrows and said:
"Don't scare me, the earth won't stop turning without you!"
The people around are humane:
"Anwazi, don't talk too much, in the future, our fish will have to be sold!"
"Yes, everyone is coming and going."
Zhou An turned his head to look at these people, and said:
"Okay, you can sell yours to him, Song Qishu's, I bought it!"
Zhou An said to the trafficker again:
"You just sit and wait to collect this little profit every time. You haven't seen how hard these people are going to sea. They can't get anything to eat for three meals, and they have to plan even for drinking water. Be careful, the weather may change. It’s dangerous. If nothing else, you still think it hurts this fish. Do you know how much effort it will take to pick up this one-hundred-pound fish when it picks up in the sea? Don’t say the net is broken. , that is, people may be pulled into the sea by it. There are boats that are capsized. This is in exchange for your life, and you still have the face to come here to lower the price!"
