Said it was very familiar.
It was because the thing in the water tank was something he had seen and eaten countless times before. It was indeed a sea cucumber, and the most authentic sea cucumber.
Said it was very unfamiliar.
It was because the ginseng in the water tank was so huge, so huge that it was beyond his understanding.
"Oh my God, I'm not seeing things, this is really a ginseng plant. It's so strong, even bigger than me." The bearded foreigner walked to the big water tank in a few steps, then turned his head and faced the flashing lights with a very exaggerated expression on his face.
"Sir, did you catch this ginseng?" the bearded man asked Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang nodded.
The bearded man asked, "Excuse me, can I measure this amazing sea cucumber?"
Xiang Yang nodded again and said, "Of course, but you can only measure outside the water tank, not inside the water tank."
The bearded man immediately said, "Mr. Xiang, the results of this measurement are not accurate enough. What I need is a set of the most precise numbers."
Xiang Yang also smiled politely and said, "Taking it out to measure may cause the sea cucumber to dissolve. What I need is a complete sea cucumber and then find a suitable buyer."
The bearded man looked at Li Chao standing beside him and knew that this was the time when he needed his cooperation, so he asked Xiang Yang, "Excuse me, how much do you want to sell this sea cucumber for?"
"Twenty million!" Xiang Yang said.
"hiss!"
There was a sound of people gasping in shock all around.
Twenty million, this is really an astronomical figure.
Even though these reporters' knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary people, they are still very shocked that a sea cucumber is sold for 20 million.
The bearded man stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
But the next moment, Li Chao stood up and said loudly: "Twenty million, I'll buy it."
"hiss-"
Suddenly, there was a sound of people gasping for air all around.
The bearded man quickly wrote on the tablet: The largest sea cucumber in the world was caught by a fisherman from China alone while out at sea. He offered a sky-high price of 20 million and was bought on the spot by a wealthy man.
"Mr. Xiang, this means that this sea cucumber now belongs to this gentleman?" The bearded man asked Xiang Yang after he finished writing.
Xiang Yang nodded and said, "That's natural."
Immediately, the bearded man turned his head and looked at Li Chao, "Sir, can I measure this sea cucumber?"
Li Chao nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, I also need to measure the size of this sea cucumber, let's measure it together."
Then, in front of a group of reporters, Li Chao and the bearded man measured the weight and length of the giant sea cucumber.
The reporters kept snapping pictures to record this scene.
Xiang Yang just watched calmly from the side. He guessed that Li Chao might have other plans later.
Sure enough, not long after, a reporter came out and asked Li Chao what he was going to do with the sea cucumber.
Li Chao pretended to think for a moment, then said, "Of course I hope as many people as possible can taste this kind of top-quality food. Three days later, I will ask the best chef to cut this sea cucumber into a thousand portions, and then sell them in my hotel."
"The purchase price was 20 million. One thousand copies, each copy would cost at least 20,000 yuan to make a profit. Can Mr. Li make back his investment?" Fang Youqun muttered in a low voice at this time.
Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun and thought, for Li Chao, this sea cucumber obviously did not make as much money as the other one thousand sea cucumbers. The most important thing was to promote his hotel.
Such a large sea cucumber is already worth talking about, and it was sold at a sky-high price, so it will soon be publicized by these reporters.
When the time comes, when people talk about this sea cucumber, they will also remember the name of Li Chao’s hotel.
This is something that Li Chao cannot achieve even if he spends 100 million on advertising.
"Let's go. We have nothing to do here." At this time, Zhang Qicheng said to Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Well, let's go and sort out the other catches first. The harvest this time is pretty good. Although the most valuable sea cucumber was given to Li Chao, the remaining catches added together are actually more valuable than that sea cucumber."
Zhang Qicheng nodded and said, "Take me to see the Atlantic herring first. This fish is actually very popular in this season."
Xiang Yang nodded, and took Zhang Qicheng to the place where the herrings were piled on the dock.
Zhang Qicheng picked up a foam box at random and opened it.
After seeing the herrings in the box, a hint of joy flashed across his face, but he did not comment immediately. Instead, he reached out and took out a herring from the foam box, then took out a Swiss Army knife he carried with him, cut off the herring's head with one knife, then cut open the herring's belly, and took out all the internal organs from the herring's belly and discarded them.
Then, Xiang Yang saw Zhang Qicheng twisting the tail of the herring, which was still covered in ice chips and blood, and he raised his head and opened his mouth to stuff the herring into his mouth.
Xiang Yang immediately broke out in a sweat, "Brother Zhang, why do you eat herrings like this? Wouldn't it taste better if it's cooked?"
"What do you mean this is how I eat herring? This is how herring has been eaten for hundreds of years. After being cooked, only the fragrance remains, but the freshness is gone." Zhang Qicheng responded to Xiang Yang while chewing with big mouthfuls.
After a while, Zhang Qicheng opened his mouth and spit out the tail of the herring, then smacked his lips and said, "Not bad. Although it is frozen fish, it still tastes fresh. I want this batch of herrings."
Xiang Yang certainly knew that this batch of herrings was very fresh, otherwise he would not have been able to bring back so many herrings.
What Xiang Yang is concerned about now is, "Brother Zhang, does this herring really taste good when eaten like this?"
Zhang Qicheng smiled and nodded. "Herring is actually a high-end food. Although it is a fish, it actually has no fishy smell, and its meat is very smooth. It also has a high salt content, so it can be eaten raw."
"Of course, it definitely tastes better when cooked. I just tried it to see if it's fresh." Zhang Qicheng added.
Zhang Qicheng's words made Xiang Yang feel ashamed. He thought that if it were him, he would never be able to swallow a raw herring even if he starved to death.
The fish is silvery white in color. After taking out the internal organs and head, it is covered in blood. Not to mention eating it, just looking at it will greatly affect your appetite. Zhang Qicheng said that this fish has been eaten raw for hundreds of years, and he doesn't know how those fishermen swallowed this fish for hundreds of years.
