Volume 55 Chapter 35
This is not the first time Zhang Tie has come to the fish market.
When he was in Qianlong Island, he often went to the fish market. He also visited the fish market in Youzhou. The seaside is convenient for releasing animals. If there are enough animals to be released, you can also hire a nearby boat to go out to sea to release animals, and it will not attract attention.
Compared with the release of marine organisms, it is not so convenient to release other terrestrial organisms.
For example, if you want to release raw chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, it is not difficult to buy these things, but it is difficult to buy these things and then release them into the wild.
First of all, the wild environment is not necessarily suitable for these animals to survive. Secondly, even if a place suitable for these animals can be found, transportation is a big problem. Secondly, even if such a place can be found and the transportation problem is solved regardless of cost, then , as long as you release more animals, that place will naturally attract people to catch them. Then, I have to organize enough people to take care of the released animals. In this way, it will be too eye-catching, and it will be very troublesome to operate, and many problems will arise from it.
So from the Holy War to the present, among the animals that Zhang Tie released on land, apart from earthworms, there is only one golden unicorn.
It's not that Zhang Tie doesn't want to release more things and get more fruits of redemption to increase his strength, but it will be very troublesome in actual operation. This kind of trouble is nothing in normal times. If it is in a peaceful and prosperous age , Zhang Tie has plenty of time, money and territory to deal with these things, but when the jihad broke out, spending most of his energy and manpower on such things was putting the cart before the horse.
Because the jihad broke out, for Zhang Tie, the first thing to protect and let it continue is people, not animals raised by people.
Zhang Tie once considered bringing the animals to be released into the Black Iron Fort, but the biggest disadvantage of doing so is that it is easy to expose the existence of the Black Iron Fort. If he buys a large number of animals, the animals will be inexplicable later. As long as it disappears a few times, it will definitely be discovered by others, and it will bring hidden dangers to itself. To be honest, since the jihad, Zhang Tie has never had a few days of leisure. He can go around every day to buy food. The time and conditions for the release of small animals.
...
The fish market in Hutuo Town is quite large. It is on the edge of a wharf and stretches for about a mile. Simple bamboo sheds are next to each other. Underneath the bamboo sheds of various sizes are Large and small fish ponds built with stones, with water in the fish ponds, many fresh seafood that have just been unloaded from the ship are basically placed in the fish ponds, only a few of them are dead,
It will be put aside, fresh seafood can be sold at a higher price, so whether it is a fisherman on a boat or a street vendor in a fish market, he likes fresh seafood.
The seafood in the fish market here, in addition to supplying the needs of Hutuo Town, more importantly, it also supplies several towns farther around Bailong Bay. It is the nearest place where they can buy fresh seafood, and therefore, every morning, there is an endless stream of people who come here to buy fresh seafood.
Wahuang City is too big and has too many people. It is like a country. Therefore, the many population and commercial areas in the city cannot be called cities, but towns. There are many towns in Wahuang City. Small, small towns are similar to ordinary towns outside Wahuang City, with thousands or tens of thousands of people gathered, while large towns are important towns, with a population of several million, and they are completely cities.
Zhang Tie, who had just arrived in Wahuang City, was also a little confused. He only understood after staying in Hutuo Mountain for a long time these days.
Therefore, although the fish market in Hutuo Town only supplies a few "towns", the scale of the fish market is not small at all.
The air in the fishing market has a unique fishy smell, and the ground is always wet. People pull lizard carts loaded with water tanks and hover under the bamboo sheds. Many people come here to buy seafood. The people who buy the goods are all regular customers, and they are also familiar with the bosses under the bamboo shed. These customers basically do not bargain when they come here, because the price has already been negotiated, and both sides just look at the goods, and then weigh them , and then loaded the goods into the lizard cart. After paying, the person who bought the seafood drove the lizard cart away.
This is a regular customer.
And for those who are new faces or who do not purchase much, this fish market is almost full of bargaining voices.
Zhang Tie did not stay under those bamboo sheds. He had experience in Taixia. Zhang Tie knew that he had better find two reliable agents in the fishing market to do this kind of thing. If looking for an agent, the shopkeepers of those large-scale fishing shops are ideal candidates.
In such a fish market, it is enough for a small business to build a bamboo shed, and those who have scaled up or monopolized the pricing power of one or two varieties of seafood have more status in the fish market and wharf Yes, a fishing line was established.
As long as you are willing to spend money and use a little spiritual secret method, it is too simple to hire two obedient and capable helpers in the fishing shop here. That's it.
Zhang Tie just strolled half way through the fish market when he saw a large-scale fish shop appearing in front of him. The fish shop owned more than a hundred bamboo fishponds, forming a large area. In front of the bamboo sheds and fish ponds, the fishing company also built a rather impressive two-story house by the pier. When the other stalls and bamboo sheds didn’t even have names at all, that house The four golden characters of "Du's Fish Shop" are shining on the main entrance.
When Zhang Tie came here, two people were talking at the door of Yuhang.
"Liu Guanshi, the hairtail I gave you today is still at the price we negotiated, and it is sold at a loss. You know the market in the fish market today. There was such a commotion in Bailong Bay yesterday that many seafood prices have increased. Well, the price of the hairtail has increased by at least 30% compared to usual. When you go back today, you have to say a few good words to me in front of your shopkeeper in Yuhailou. Don't forget me if you get benefits in the future... "
"Master Du, is what you said true? Why did the more I listened to it, the more mysterious it became? How can the fish and shrimps under the sea jump up to the surface one by one? I have only heard of sea pigs going to the boat before." Jumping, if this is the case, then wouldn’t the fishing boats on Bailong Bay have more harvests? If the harvest is more, the prices of these seafood should naturally come down, why are they still going up?”
"I still have a lot to gain. I don't know how many fish bosses were frightened by the disturbance yesterday. People who go out to sea respect the Dragon King the most. Whenever they go out to sea, they want to be safe. No one has heard of such a scene. As I said before, if there are fish and shrimp jumping on the boat, everyone will smile and think it is luck, but if all the fish and shrimp in the sea jump up, the sea surface will be densely packed with jumping fish and shrimp. Things that never appear on the sea surface on weekdays are floating up, that is another matter, looking at it makes people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts, even if they jump on the boat, no one dares to take those things, everyone thinks it is the Dragon King Angry, how can I dare to be greedy? Many fishing boats that go out to sea not only dare not take those seafood, but also release the seafood they caught before. After seeking peace of mind, they hurried back, so today the fisherman The seafood in the city is at least 30% to 40% less than usual, and the price has naturally risen. If you don't believe it, Liu Guanshi, you can go around and ask..."
"Forget it, I have to rush back. The restaurant is still waiting for me to take the things back. Anyway, it's the price. It's not a day or two since we cooperated. Sometimes the price in the fish market is low. Don't we still come at the price we negotiated before? It's business if there is a relationship. Shopkeeper Du, do you think so? Only in this way can our cooperation last and the business of Shopkeeper Du will grow more and more The bigger it gets, the better the business of our Yuhai Building in Xin'an Town. There are hundreds of restaurants, large and small, in Xin'an Town. Who doesn't know that we buy from you, the price is fair and the goods are fresh, you Du The signboard of the fish shop will be displayed..."
"What Guanshi Liu said is, what Guanshi Liu said is..."
The two of them were talking, and the shopkeeper Du also sent Guanshi Liu out. Outside, there were already four lizard carts full of seafood. A chauffeur drove the car and left...
Seeing Guanshi Liu leave, Shopkeeper Du smiled wryly and shook his head. Just as he was about to return to the fish store, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"Is this Shopkeeper Du?"
Shopkeeper Du turned his head and saw a young man looking at him with a smile...
Although this young man has an ordinary face, shopkeeper Du just glanced at the clothes on the young man's body, and his expression became a little more respectful, with a warm smile on his face. There are too many distinguished guests from all directions in Hutuo Town. Whether they are here to study medicine or to treat diseases, these people, to be honest, are not something that a small shopkeeper of a fish shop can offend, "I am Du Dahai, the shopkeeper of Du's fish shop, I don't know your Excellency What are you doing?"
"I heard that Du's Fish Shop is good here, may I buy something?"
Hearing that Zhang Tie was here to buy something, shopkeeper Du smiled even more enthusiastically, and hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, welcoming Zhang Tie into the room, "Please come in, please come in, let's talk inside..."
