"Who would want such expensive ribbonfish?" The middle-aged man, still complaining about the high price of the fish while being stared at by Zhou Miao, loosened his grip and threw the fish back.
But he didn't leave; he just stood there watching, clearly thinking that no one would buy it at such a high price.
But not everyone is clueless. Look, a couple who looked to be in their early thirties stepped forward to pick one out.
The man examined the ribbonfish closely and indeed found the hole in its mouth where the hook had pierced it: "This medium-sized one is fifty-five, right?"
"Yes, how many do you want?" Zhou Miao asked, tearing off a piece of the bag as he saw that he was inclined to buy.
"Can you make it cheaper?"
"You choose first, and I'll round it down to zero later."
"OK."
As expected, younger customers are more decisive when buying things. This customer picked out ten ribbonfish that were three fingers wide and two that were four fingers wide.
"The medium size weighs 4.3 jin and the large size weighs 1.8 jin, which is 380.5 yuan in total. You can give me 350 yuan."
As long as you have a good attitude and buy things readily, Zhou Miao is always easy to talk to.
If someone comes in complaining about this and that, and is picky about everything, then he'd rather not sell to them.
His method of rounding down the price immediately sparked the desire to buy among many onlookers.
It cost 30 yuan, which is about 5 yuan less per jin (500g).
After Luo Hao explained the difference between fishing with a line and netting, several people immediately bought fish.
The common Chinese tendency to join in the fun caused their ribbonfish population to decrease rapidly, which was a real slap in the face to the middle-aged man from before.
However, these middle-aged men didn't pay attention, because they found that very few people bought the smaller size of the ribbonfish.
The price is quite cheap, but there's really not much meat.
In less than an hour, almost all of the more than 100 kilograms of ribbonfish had been sold, leaving only about 10 kilograms of smaller ribbonfish.
Seeing that these items weren't selling, Zhou Miao discussed it with Luo Hao and decided to simply stop selling them.
Five pounds of the better fish were picked out from the rest and given to Luo Hao to give to his friend who owns a shop.
Zhou Miao also planned to take five jin back with him so he could try some himself.
Just as they were packing up to leave, the middle-aged man who had been standing by their side stopped them, saying, "Hey, hey, I'll buy all your unsold fish for you. Five yuan a pound, I'll take them all."
"I won't sell it or wrap it up." Zhou Miao hadn't expected him to still be there, and frowned as she immediately refused.
"How can you be like this? I kindly bought your fish, and you still won't sell it?"
"Aren't you even listening to what you're saying? Five yuan for everything, do you think I need that little bit of money?"
"How much more do you want? These are all leftovers that others didn't want. You still want to sell them for an exorbitant price? This isn't how you do business."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, two middle-aged women beside him echoed his agreement.
"Exactly, people usually give away such small ribbonfish as a freebie at the market."
"Five dollars is cheap, but you can still make a little profit."
Lu Xiaoxiao stood in front of Zhou Miao, somewhat angrily: "My brother said he's not selling. Move aside and don't block our car."
Seeing another middle-aged woman reaching for the fish box, Luo Qianqian quickly stepped forward to block her, saying, "Who are you people? You're trying to force us to buy from you even though we're not selling to you?"
"What kind of attitude is this? People like you are running a business, treating this garbage like treasures. We don't want it anymore!"
The middle-aged woman, seeing two pretty young girls blocking her way, seemed somewhat defensive, perhaps out of jealousy of their youth and beauty.
"Yes, you guys are trash. I should give this fish to the garbage collectors."
Zhou Miao happened to see a sanitation worker sweeping the ground not far away, so he packed up the rest of the fish, took it over and gave it to him.
The sanitation worker was an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties, though he might actually be younger; he just looked older.
Upon learning that Zhou Miao had given him the fish, he declined a few times, but when he couldn't refuse, he accepted them and thanked him profusely.
Zhou Miao exchanged a few polite words with him, then returned to the group of unreasonable people and spread his hands: "The fish are all gone, aren't you leaving?"
"Heh, let's see if you can sleep tonight," Luo Hao sneered.
He had already left his friend's shop and learned what had happened from his sister.
He didn't expect that he would get entangled in this garbage after only being inside for a short while.
That is to say, his friend's shop was already closed, and he didn't hear the noise outside, otherwise he would have come out long ago.
The group looked grim, but what could they do now that the fish were gone? They could only angrily head home. What were they going to do, fight with Zhou Miao and his group?
If it's an elderly person in their eighties, nineties, or even a hundred years old, Zhou Miao and his group can only try to avoid them.
After all, when older people act like hooligans, calling the police is useless, but these middle-aged people are an exception.
Zhou Miao and the others packed their things and got into the car. Luo Qianqian was still indignant: "These people have really bad manners."
"I've found that when it comes to selling fish at a stall, it's still easier for young people to do business."
"If the price is acceptable, just buy it; if not, just leave. No unnecessary chatter."
Zhou Miao laughed upon hearing this, "People who like to dance in the square and disturb the peace have no manners whatsoever. These people know our fish are good, so they've been lingering and trying to take advantage of us."
"Brother Miao, I've noticed that ribbonfish sell much better than black sea bream. Even ribbonfish that are only four fingers wide are selling for 81 jin (4.5 kg), and they're selling out so quickly. Should we focus on catching these kinds of fish to sell in the future?"
"The retail price is high, which is much more cost-effective than selling directly to Boss Pang."
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't pick up on that topic. Instead, after settling the accounts and transferring Zhou Miao's share of the money to him, she started talking about selling fish.
"It's not easy to find schools of ribbonfish, but when the weather gets colder, you can rent fishing spots and take a big boat to fish for ribbonfish in the open sea. The price is higher and they are more sought after." Zhou Miao looked at the number 6,700 on his phone and shook his head.
If he didn't have a system, he would be willing to specifically fish for these high-yield fish.
But he has a system. Every time he gets information about the fishing season, his income easily exceeds ten thousand, and under normal circumstances, he can even earn tens of thousands of dollars.
Making money is so easy, why bother going through all that trouble to fish for ribbonfish?
It's not like the Bohai knife, which costs over a thousand yuan.
"Business isn't great at the fishing rafts because of the cold weather. We can go together then," Luo Hao said.
Zhou Miao readily agreed: "Sure! Then you should find a good deep-sea fishing boat, especially one with a good environment."
The National Day holiday is just a week away, which is in October. The time for fishing in oil fields when it gets cold is not far off, and it can be arranged basically after mid-November.
Back at Luo Hao's Tingtao Fishing Raft, Lu Xiaoxiao saw that her older brother was still sleeping soundly, so she simply didn't wake him.
I might as well go back with Zhou Miao; maybe something good will happen.
However, Zhou Miao gave him no chance at all tonight.
He was exhausted from staying up all night and being busy during the day, and he had no desire for sex at all.
I've got the body purification and fishing ground buffs, I wonder when I'll reward myself with a physical fitness boost.
He simply couldn't handle the high-intensity work typical of fishermen.
