Even if there are no rare species, these alone are enough for her to set up a stall. Hua Zhi looked at Wu Zheng who was accompanying her, "I want to take a closer look, is that possible?"
Wu Zheng was more cheerful, "What's the big deal, Chen Er, bring a net."
A net is a small gadget that is convenient for catching things in the pond. They come in different sizes. The one Wu Zheng is holding at the moment is a medium-sized one. Wherever Hua Zhi stands, he will scoop a net up for her to take a closer look.
The fish are very fresh and big in size. People living by the sea know the principle of catching the big ones and releasing the small ones for a long time. Other things such as shrimps, snails, shellfish, etc. are also very fresh, but fish still make up the majority.
"Why do I see no crabs?"
Wu Zheng showed a strange expression, "Miss, do you want that? Yes, I have it. I won't lie to you, but that thing is the hardest-selling one in our fishing shop. It's not easy to eat, not to mention that there's not much meat. Not many people like it."
As he spoke, Wu Zheng led her to a pool at the edge. This pool was slightly different from the others and looked much deeper. But it was too shallow and she would probably have to climb out.
Although it didn't sell well, the crab still looked very lively and was obviously well cared for. It was just a little small in size.
"All here?"
"It's all here. Isn't it good for the young lady to see it?"
"It's not that bad, I just want something bigger."
Wu Zheng was really surprised. Could it be that this thing that was walking sideways was very popular in other places? Thinking of this, Wu Zheng spoke cautiously, "Yes, there are, but only in our area, people buy the small ones to make drunken crabs. The big ones have hard shells and tough meat, so the locals dislike them. I would like to ask, is there any other way to cook this thing?"
"It's troublesome to eat, but it's also fun to eat well. Don't worry, Mr. Wu. If I really lose it after buying it, I will accept it. I won't blame you for not reminding me."
"Young lady, you are a straightforward person, so I will also be honest. If this deal is concluded, I will not make money from the crabs, but I will help those fishermen, young and old, to make a living."
Hua Zhi looked at Wu Zheng, "What do you mean?"
"Most fishing shops don't buy crabs. I buy some because I feel sorry for those fishermen who have no other way out. They were born and raised in this area and were destined to make a living from this. I don't know how many people die in the sea every year." Wu Zheng shook his head and led Hua Zhi back. "For some families, it's like the sky has fallen if they lose one of their children. The old can't go out to sea, and the young are too young to make a living by digging oysters and picking crabs on the beach. Although I buy some, I dare not buy too much because it takes up too much space. If you can really sell these crabs, you will be their benefactor."
"Life is not easy for anyone." Hua Zhi added lightly and said no more. It's not that she didn't feel sorry for them, but no matter how soft-hearted she was, it couldn't affect her rationality. Now that the deal was done, she naturally had plenty of ways to solve their problems, as long as the deal was done.
Wu Zheng raised his glass. It was a new feeling to be able to have such a pleasant business conversation with a woman.
Hua Zhi was stunned for a moment, then she also raised the glass, put it to her lips to wet them, and then stopped.
"I found Donglai Shipping Company for shipping. The young master recommended Antai Fishing Company to me, saying that your products are good, and I think they are indeed the case." Hua Zhi stretched out her hand, and Bao Xia put a few pieces of paper in her palm.
After flipping through it, Hua Zhi pushed it towards Wu Zheng, "The quantity I want is not small, and I sincerely hope to negotiate this deal with Mr. Wu."
Wu Zheng also knew that the amount of goods required for this deal would not be small, but he did not expect it to be so large! Unless these things in the sea are dried, they will not last long if they are fresh. He originally thought that even if it was a large deal, it would be limited, but this was already far beyond his estimation!
After turning to the bottom, Wu Zheng drank a sip of tea to calm himself down and said, "My fishing business doesn't have that much goods at the moment. I wonder if Miss can give me a few days to prepare?"
Hua Zhi shook her head. "Not now. This is not a one-time deal. I plan to start delivering the first batch in August, and the second batch will start on the tenth day. The delivery time after that will depend on how good the business is."
Pie in the sky!
Wu Zheng's mind was full of this sentence. He bit his tongue hard to calm himself down and asked, "In terms of quantity..."
"If business gets better in the future, the quantity will naturally increase accordingly." Hua Zhi smiled, "Could it be that Boss Wu can't eat it all?"
"I can eat it, of course I can." Even if I can't eat it, there is a solution. As long as I can make this deal, everything else will not be a problem!
At this point, the two of them had changed their minds about how serious they were about the deal, and Hua Zhi was sitting on the Diaoyutai.
"The prices are listed above. As for the transaction price, we'll have to wait and see how we negotiate later." Hua Zhi stood up. "I'm not in a hurry. Mr. Wu can think about it carefully. I'll come over at this time tomorrow."
Wu Zheng hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll take the young lady home."
The two said goodbye in front of the fishing shop. When they walked away, Wu Zheng immediately sent someone to follow them to see where they were staying. He turned around and told the steward, "Go and ask Li Xiang to come over immediately."
Li Xiang is the owner of Shunchang Fishing Company, who has joined forces with Wu Zheng to fight against Yushun Fishing Company. As soon as Chen Er heard it, he knew what the owner was planning.
"Chen Er, if this succeeds, there will be a huge reward."
Chen Er grinned, he knew that his boss would never treat him unfairly!

After returning to the inn, Hua Zhi Baoxia and Xu Ying went to do some chores. Hua Zhi looked at Xiaoliu who seemed to be hesitant to speak all the way, "Worried?"
The Sixth Prince hesitated, "I'm not sure if that price is right."
"I've already shown it to others. Even if it's wrong, it can't be changed. Business requires honesty and integrity. There's no reason to go back on one's word. If I'm really wrong this time, I'll bear the consequences for you. But Xiaoliu, not all consequences can be borne afterwards. Money is fine, but what about human life? Once a person dies, there's no way they can come back to life."
The Sixth Prince lowered his head, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
Hua Zhi straightened the collar of the child who was not much shorter than her, "It is better to be more prepared than to give yourself the opportunity to regret it, understand?"
"Yes, I remember that."
"Just remember it. It's still early. Go walk around and take a look. If you're unsure, you can get a clearer idea. Be careful."
The Sixth Prince looked up. The longer he spent with Sister Hua, the more he envied Berlin. Berlin had been taught and cared for by Sister Hua for many years, and he felt so happy with just this little bit. He couldn't imagine how happy Berlin was.
Hua Zhi didn't think about the emotion flashing in the child's eyes. She watched him leave and called Wang Cheng in. "There's a Yushun fishing company here that may be doing dirty things. You must protect Xiaoliu well and don't be careless."
"yes."
"Go now."
Tapping the table with her fingers, Hua Zhi instructed, "Be careful, this place is small and we can't hide our presence from anyone."
Shaoyao rubbed against her and laughed, "Huahua, don't worry, I will take care of anyone who dares to come."
