Chapter 459 The Most Handsome Boy in the Market (Update)

The tractor swayed along the way, and there were big and sharp turns on the mountain road from time to time. Everyone staggered, but it did not affect their pleasant conversation.

Xiao Zhou, who drives the tractor, is the son of the old Zhou. The father and son often drive the tractor on mountain roads, and they are very familiar with the roads.

Because it was dark, the road conditions were not very clear with the help of headlamps and flashlights. It took us almost three hours to get into the city limits, and the road became smooth.

Zhou Da pointed out the road and general direction. The surrounding scenery gradually changed from desolate to low-rise residences. It didn't look much different from their countryside, except that the roads were better and smoother.

Everyone looked a little disappointed and thought there was something different in the city.

Zhou laughed and said, "We haven't reached the city yet. When it gets dark, you will definitely open your mouths."

Everyone was noncommittal.

"It will take a few more minutes to reach the market. It's almost here."

"It'll be there in ten minutes."

The road was smooth and empty, so the tractor went faster.

When passing through the city, although the night was bright and dim, they still saw several tall buildings, each of which looked like what Zhou Da said. They opened their mouths wide and looked at the tall buildings in novelty, shining their flashlights everywhere.

"Look, I'm telling you, you must open your mouths after seeing this. The houses in this city are high, right? There are several high-rise buildings of more than ten stories here. They look very beautiful during the day. They are completely different from our countryside, and the roads are also very It’s clean, no one in our town can compare with it…”

Zhou Da was salivating there, excitedly telling them how tall the houses in the city were, and how prosperous and lively they were during the day. Others were also very cooperative...

Ye Yaodong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and felt a little emotional in his heart. But just coming to the city made everyone feel like they were traveling far away.

No wonder there is a saying that if you want to be rich, build roads first.

At this time, the city has not been expanded yet, and the city is actually only a little bigger. Within ten minutes, they saw a large yurt surrounded by an open space in the distance. There were many flashlights gathered around it, and they saw that the number of people was still there. Quite a few.

Everyone stood up excitedly and looked into the distance.

"We're here, we're here."

"Is this right here?"

"finally reached."

"There are so many people, so many people in the middle of the night."

As the tractor slowed, the noise grew closer.

There were many carts parked in the surrounding open space. The carts were piled with goods, and there were people standing around. There were also many tractors.

Xiao Zhou also found an open space, stopped first, and asked them to get out of the car to check the situation. He was not in a hurry to unload the goods now. The other cars were also full of goods, but many of them were covered with cloth. Nothing to sell.

The seven people jumped off the tractor like dumplings. They all looked at the surrounding environment with some strangeness. Because they were not familiar with it, everyone looked around after getting off and listened silently to the exchanges between people around them.

Since Zhou Da had been here before, he also volunteered to chat with the people around him and inquire about the situation.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the rules had not changed and entry still started at two o'clock.

Ye Yaodong listened to the chats of the people around him and roughly understood some of the situation. He also relaxed and chatted with the people around him.

An old man with a trolley full of razor clams looked at them as if they were here for the first time, and he simply answered their questions.

As the time approaches, there are more and more pallet trucks around, and there are also a few more tractors, all coming from all directions.

The queue was also long. Ye Yaodong took out the hard-boiled eggs from the bag, secretly stuffed one into the old man selling razor clams, and then returned to their place.

After being surprised for a moment, the old man took it in his hand and put it in his pocket. Then he walked up to them and told them that they had better find a stall near the merchant entrance.

After they were stunned for a moment, they finally understood.

The entrance where they queue is different from the entrance for merchants. It has two openings.

When the time came, the raincloth was rolled up at the door of this oversized yurt, and the lights were brightly lit inside. The lights came out instantly. All the people in line pushed their goods in and began to occupy the stalls.

After being admitted, Ye Yaodong and the others were also excited.

Because they had too much goods, it was inconvenient to carry them, and they couldn't drive the tractor in, so they divided the number of people into two groups. Three people queued up to get a stall, and four people stayed on the tractor to wait for the stall to be borrowed from the market. There are rows of trucks on the ground to pull goods in.

The market is exactly as Zhou Da said. The venue is large, but very simple. One table is equivalent to a stall. There are numbers written on the table in red pen. The goods they bring in are piled behind the table.

If there are not enough baskets, or if you need a basket, go to the corner and get it yourself. The market also prepares it, and it is specially used for loading and weighing.

There were so many of them that they simply occupied two positions. The position near the merchant entrance had long been occupied, so they could only choose the one closer.

Watching other people's actions, you imitate them. You take a basket and pour some of the goods out, so that people who come to wholesale can see what you are selling.

At this time, everyone also saw each other and what other people around were selling.

It was really an eye-opener for everyone. There are a lot of deep-sea products that are rarely seen at their pier in the market, such as deep-sea tiger fish, polly fish, horsehead fish, hairtail fish, Pipa shrimp, various snappers, green sweet and red fish. There were also whole baskets of grouper and tuna, and there were several baskets of golden yellow croakers at the stalls, valuable and not valuable.

Everyone was there, looking around, and some were walking around looking at other people before the merchants arrived.

Ye Yaodong and the others also took their own goods into a basket, poured some of it and put it in front of the table. Then they took turns to go shopping, and went to the transaction point to learn about the current scallop market conditions. They also talked to others who were interested. The stall owner chatted for a while.

After coming back, everyone's eyes were shining and they were all very excited.

"It turns out that the scallops in the wholesale market are 3-5 cents more expensive than where we buy them. The price has been reduced. The beautiful ones are only 30.6 cents, the less beautiful ones are only 30 cents. 2, and the small ones are only 20 cents. 8. Still It’s worth a bit more money here.”

"You can't think like this. People have to make money even if they do everything. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to sell retail? But it takes more work and sells slower, so there must be room for people to make money. This thing is not easy to catch, and it is relatively rare, otherwise Shellfish are not very valuable, and that old man just said that his razor clams can only be sold for a dime."

"That's true."

Everyone was gearing up and excited. They felt that this trip was right. They could make more money and open their eyes again.

"You really need to walk around and look around. There are a lot of fish here that we have never seen before. I don't know what kind of fish was just shipped over there. It's so big. It looks rare to thieves."

"Yes, that fish is so big and flat, it looks a bit like the flounder."

"I also saw it. It should be a big flounder. That one weighed at least several hundred kilograms. It was so scary. It felt bigger than the big flounder that Adong caught before."

"This must be a big fish from the deep sea. I don't know how I caught it, but I managed to catch such a big fish."

"I found a treasure. Such a big fish will definitely fetch a lot of money. Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are so many good products in this market..."

Ye Yaodong went out to wander around earlier, but he really didn't see the fish they were talking about. He quickly asked: "Where is the fish you mentioned? I didn't see it when I went out earlier."

"It's booth 158. It's in that direction. You'll know if you go there and take a look."

"I'll go over and take a look. I'll gain some insights."

The surrounding stalls were also talking about that fish, as if that fish had taken the top spot in the wholesale market today.

Before he even got closer, Ye Yaodong saw the huge flounder from a distance.

Yes, that one is a flounder. Although it is huge and two meters long, it is still a flounder when it turns to gray, but the species is different. It is an Atlantic flounder.

Although there were many people surrounding the stall, blocking part of the view, he still saw the fish's relatively long body. He quickly walked forward and listened to the comments of others.

"There are still many big fish in the high seas! This flounder is really big."

"I've never seen a flounder that big in my life."

"I have never seen such a big fish! It must be two meters long, right? Have you measured it?"

"It's definitely longer than me."

"I measured it, two meters per meter."

"Selinmu, is it so big?"

Ye Yaodong listened to the comments of others and knew that the fish was caught from the high seas. He carefully observed the fish. The two eyes were on the right side of the body, and the left side of the body was smooth and white.

Logically this fish should appear in the European market or the Russian market, but somehow it appears here.

He looked around him and saw that other people were still bringing in basket after basket of goods and stacking them all on the stall on the other side of the fish.

Seeing more and more people surrounding him, he walked back after watching the excitement, but as he was walking on the road, he had an idea. Isn't that flounder an obvious advertising sign?

It is now the prettiest one in the market, and the sellers find it rare. Those merchants and fishmongers heard that there was a two-meter-long flounder in the market, so they all came over to take a look. Take a look?

Wouldn’t the nearby stalls be able to take advantage of it?

He hurriedly walked back a few steps, talked to the others, and quickly replaced the stalls with trucks and goods, taking advantage of the fact that there was still room diagonally opposite the flounder.

Anyway, there is no rule saying that once you occupy a stall, you cannot exchange it, so he took advantage of this loophole.

Others also thought about it and hurriedly changed positions if they could, but the position at the entrance was still the best.

Not long after they changed their positions, people came in one after another to wholesale. Many people were rushing to buy the local market before the morning market opened. These seafood had to be wholesaled and sold while they were fresh.
