On the other side, the older sister was also going to the dock with the little boy.
With her sharp eyes, she saw Xiang Yang and his men moving boxes of things from the boat to the underside of the ship not far away, and she burst out laughing.
After laughing, the older sister pointed at the bald guy next to Xiang Yang and said, "See? I tried to buy his crabs at sea but he refused to sell them. Now that we're at the shore, he's shouting at me. Why bother?"
The bald man thought to himself, even if you buy, how much can you buy? If they sell you two kilograms of swimming crabs from a boat with more than 2,000 kilograms, won't they come to the shore to shout? But the bald man said, "You are right."
"Let's go and see him." The older sister said with a smile, "At his price, there won't be many crabs that can be sold here. He will definitely lower the price of crabs by then. Didn't he trick you into selling two kilograms? Wait until he lowers the price and return it to you. If he dares not to return it, I will scold him for you."
"No need for that?" the bald man said with a stiff smile.
"Why not? I'm helping you. Did you get the money from the wind?" the older sister asked.
"Forget it. If you don't want to go, forget it. I'll use half the money you spent to buy the same number of crabs as you did."
... ...
On Xiang Yang's side, the fishmongers were a little surprised at first after hearing what Xiang Yang said. It shouldn't be that such a big fishing boat had no catch!
Then the fishmongers became excited. Swimming crabs, swimming crabs are great! They are real goods!
"Captain, I specialize in collecting swimming crabs."
"Captain, how many swimming crabs are there on your ship?"
"Captain, how big are the swimming crabs on your boat? How much is one pound?"
The fishmongers were talking at the same time, each one louder than the last.
Xiang Yang quickly interrupted them and said, "Most of them are 150g each, and a small number are 0.5kg each. They are all fresh wild swimming crabs. Please line up if you want them. We will discuss them one by one."
"Why are you queuing?" a fishmonger shouted, "I specialize in buying swimming crabs. I was the first one to answer you just now. In business, there is a first-come-first-served principle."
The person next to him immediately got angry, "Fatty Liu, what do you mean you are the first to answer? I also said I was the first one to arrive here."
"Besides, do you specialize in collecting swimming crabs?"
Xiang Yang also smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, you are not a specialist in collecting swimming crabs, right?"
The people around immediately burst into laughter.
Xiang Yang had seen clearly earlier that the fat man Liu who was shouting was skewering vegetables with a wooden skewer at a barbecue stall near the dock. He hurried over when he saw his fishing boat approaching. He was obviously the owner of the barbecue stall who was also the boss, chef, and side dish maker. He even had a scarf wrapped around his body.
"Go, go, what are you doing?" Fatty Liu first shouted at the people around him in dissatisfaction, and then said to Xiang Yang: "To be honest, I am not a professional buyer of swimming crabs, but I do buy swimming crabs, and I can afford the price."
Xiang Yang smiled and asked, "How much do you pay per pound for the 4 liang one?"
These barbecue stall owners who settled on the beach were different from the seafood business owners Xiang Yang met in Guangzhou last time.
Those bosses in the seafood business are afraid of having their supply blocked by wholesalers, but these barbecue stall owners on the beach are not afraid. In fact, because this area has well-developed coastal tourism and many fishing boats, those engaged in seafood wholesale are afraid of offending these barbecue stall owners. Without them, the main sellers of seafood, the seafood in this area will definitely not be so easy to sell.
"I can't say for sure. I have to see the goods first." said Fatty Liu.
Although Xiang Yang said that the swimming crabs weighed four taels each, the swimming crab industry is very complicated. Generally speaking, the sellers would tie half a tael of straw to the swimming crabs, and the buyers would accept the weight of four taels of swimming crabs and straw. Therefore, those who know the business usually do not rely on hearing when buying swimming crabs, but must rely on seeing with their own eyes.
Xiang Yang nodded and shouted, "Fang Youqun, show our swimming crabs to the bosses."
"Okay." Fang Youqun, who had been prepared, immediately opened the lids of the foam boxes one by one.
Fatty Liu had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the gross weight of each swimming crab was at least four taels. He immediately asked, "How many swimming crabs do you have?"
"About two thousand kilograms, and another hundred kilograms or so, half a kilogram each." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
After hearing Xiang Yang's words, many people's eyes lit up.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Are there any of you who can finish it all in one go? If you can, please raise your hands. If not, then I can only sell it at retail price."
No one spoke.
In fact, any of them has the ability to eat all the goods in one go, but with so many people here, who dares to take all the benefits alone? Unless he doesn't want to be in this business anymore.
Fatty Liu pondered for a moment and then said, "Captain, this is not fair. We don't buy crabs by the pound or two. How can we sell them at the market price?"
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Your barbecue stall should be able to consume several hundred kilograms of swimming crabs a day, right? Why don't you just eat it all by yourself?"
Fatty Liu wanted to, but he didn't dare, so he said depressedly: "I don't want any half-jin ones, I want 200 jin of 4 liang one."
It would be a bit of a waste to put a half-pound swimming crab on the barbecue stall, so Fatty Liu was content to get a half-pound one.
The others looked at Fatty Liu with much more kindness.
Xiang Yang asked: "How much are you willing to pay per pound?"
Fatty Liu was stunned for a moment, "Shouldn't you be the one to make the offer?"
Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "If you want to buy all of them, I'll set a price. If you only want a portion, you have to give me a satisfactory price."
Fatty Liu frowned. He discussed quietly with a few fishmongers nearby and then said, "It's not that I don't want to pack up. I just can't consume so much at my barbecue stall. Once the swimming crabs die, it's definitely over. If one dies, I lose a lot of money. The wholesale price of a 4-tael swimming crab is usually 120 yuan. I can take 200 kilograms at a time, which is also considered wholesale. I see that yours are fresh, so how about 125 yuan per kilogram?"
Before Xiang Yang could say anything, someone else spoke first.
It was the older sister. She had just walked over when she heard what Fatty Liu said, and she quickly interrupted, "The last time I bought swimming crabs, they were only over 80 yuan per pound. How come the wholesale price has become more expensive?"
Fatty Liu looked at the lady and thought she was a tourist, so he said, "You can tell from the looks of it that you don't eat swimming crabs often, right? The swimming crabs in the market are not as big as these. And those might be farmed. If they were sold in the market, they would be sold by the piece."
The older sister was stunned. "Don't I often eat swimming crabs?"
