Xiang Yang roughly estimated the weight of the black-haired fish. "Seafood is generally more valuable the bigger it is. For example, lobsters and abalones, if they are twice as big, the price may be ten times higher, but black-haired fish is not like that."
The smallest black hair fish costs more than 500 yuan per catty. Generally, as long as the size reaches one catty, it can be sold for thousands of yuan per catty.
But precisely because its base price is high, even if it grows in size, its price cannot increase ten or even dozens of times.
"This black fur should weigh about ten kilograms and can be sold for 30,000 yuan," said Xiang Yang.
"Thirty thousand? I won't even sell it for fifty thousand. I want to keep this fish in the exhibition hall of my hotel." Li Chao said loudly.
Zhang Qicheng on the side rolled his eyes and said, "Old Li, I think I caught this fish, right?"
Li Chao glared, "Who brought you here? Would you come fishing without me? If you didn't come, I would come alone. Isn't this fish caught by me?"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you." Zhang Qicheng put away the fishing rod, looked at Xiang Yang and said, "Brother Xiang, lend me a diving suit. I want to take a look under the water."
Before Xiang Yang could speak, Murong Zhenfei on the side said, "Brother Cheng, have you forgotten what happened when you were diving yesterday?"
Yesterday, Zhang Qicheng and Xiang Yang went out to sea on a yacht. While underwater, Zhang Qicheng's leg was stabbed by an eel catfish, and the wound has not healed yet.
Zhang Qicheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious. Besides, the diving equipment on my cruise ship can't compare to the diving equipment on Boss Xiang's boat. If I had worn Brother Xiang's diving equipment yesterday, I wouldn't have been stung by the eel catfish."
Xiang Yang thought about it and nodded, "The diving equipment is in the cabin. If Boss Zhang wants it, just ask Fang Youqun to get it."
"Boss Zhang, do you want to go down and catch black-haired fish? To be honest, I'm not trying to discourage you. If black-haired fish is so easy to catch, its price wouldn't be so expensive." Xiang Yang said.
In Xiang Yang's opinion, it was already incredible that Zhang Qicheng could catch a ten-jin black-haired fish on the coast of Qinglongwan.
To be honest, Xiang Yang has no intention of getting involved at all now.
Seeing Zhang Qicheng catch a black fish, he went underwater to look for the black fish, but it was a waste of effort.
Soon, Zhang Qicheng put on his diving equipment and went underwater.
Xiang Yang looked at Li Chao and Murong Zhenfei and asked, "We are right on the coast. It won't be dangerous if we go down. Why don't you two go down and take a look?"
Li Chao yawned and said, "I won't go down. It's nice to fish on the boat."
"Zhenfei, do you have any snacks? Give me some." Li Chao looked at Murong Zhenfei and said.
Xiang Yang said quickly: "No, I have food on the boat, I'll get it for you right away."
Li Chao said: "I want to eat his, his tastes better."
Murong Zhenfei smiled and stood up, "Okay, I'll get it for you."
Having said that, Murong Zhenfei stood up and got off the boat, walking towards a white BMW parked at the dock.
I saw him tinkering in the trunk of his car for a while, then he took out a few cans of stuff and walked towards me.
"Here, try it. These are the carefully selected sea cucumbers made by our company. You can eat them right after opening the can. There is no need to worry. The whole can is edible." After Murong Zhenfei handed a can to Li Chao, she took another can and handed it to Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang was surprised and asked, "Canned sea cucumbers? This can is not cheap, right?"
“They are not expensive. They are all about 80 small sea cucumbers. If they were real large sea cucumbers, they would not be canned.” Murong Zhenfei said.
When Xiang Yang heard this, he took it and opened the can like he would open an ordinary can of meat.
Inside the can are some small black sea cucumbers that look a bit like glutinous rice cakes. Each one is only the size of a finger. These sea cucumbers are soaked in a transparent, colorless thick liquid.
Xiang Yang picked up one and took a bite. He felt that the taste was somewhat similar to the cuttlefish put in the chicken soup, but the fragrance was stronger than the cuttlefish, and it was also chewier and a little sticky.
"It tastes good. How much is a can? I want to buy some." Xiang Yang said.
"You want to buy it? That's great. How much do you want? The general retail price of this thing in the hotel is 2,850 yuan a can. I usually sell it for 1,800 yuan a can. If you want it, I can give you a friendly price of 1,000 yuan a can." Murong Zhenfei said.
Xiang Yang's hand shook and he almost dropped the can.
After a long while, Xiang Yang said speechlessly: "One thousand yuan a can, is this what you call not expensive?"
"It's actually not expensive." Li Chao said with a smile, "These sea cucumbers are not farmed, but carefully selected Liao sea cucumbers. If these sea cucumbers were a little bigger, they would not be canned. The price of dried sea cucumbers is much more expensive than this."
Xiang Yang nodded. "I originally thought this stuff was only a few dozen yuan a can. Forget it if it's a thousand yuan a can. I can't afford it."
Murong Zhenfei burst out laughing. "Boss Xiang, you have also caught sea cucumbers. Even if sea cucumbers are farmed, the cost can't be just a few dozen yuan a can, right? Not to mention the production process. If it really costs a few dozen yuan a can, would you dare to buy it?"
Xiang Yang smiled bitterly and nodded, he really didn’t dare.
Because sea cucumbers are expensive, there are many fakes on the market.
It is considered good to use soaked ginseng to impersonate plum ginseng, and to use farmed sea cucumber to impersonate wild Liao sea cucumber.
A few years ago, Xiang Yang also read a report that someone had used cuttlefish meat to synthesize artificial sea cucumbers and sold them as wild sea cucumbers.
Soon, Xiang Yang finished a can of sea cucumbers. He looked at the thick liquid in the can and asked, "Boss Murong, what is the soup for soaking sea cucumbers?"
"This is not some soup, this is authentic bird's nest. Although some of them are damaged or don't look good, they are still very valuable, costing dozens of yuan per gram." Murong Zhenfei said.
Xiang Yang blinked his eyes. No wonder Li Chao said he wanted to eat Murong Zhenfei's snacks. Xiang Yang compared the snacks on his boat with the snacks in Murong Zhenfei's trunk of the car. They were really rubbish.
“Wow!”
At this time, Zhang Qicheng crawled out from under the water. He first crawled to the shore, then passed the unloading bridge on the dock and climbed back onto the boat.
"How is it? Have you found other black-haired fish?" Li Chao asked with a smile.
Zhang Qicheng shook his head. "Nothing. I only found a blue grouper as long as my arm. But when I swam over, I startled it and didn't catch it."
