However, when Xiang Yang heard Zhang Qicheng say that he was willing to accept this batch of herrings, he was still quite happy in his heart.
It is nonsense to say that Xiang Yang felt no pressure at all in bringing back this batch of herrings.
After all, on the entire fleet, only this batch of herrings was purchased with money, and the rest of the catch was caught. If this batch of herrings cannot be sold, the loss will be more than just the fuel and labor costs.
Next, Xiang Yang and Zhang Qicheng sorted out the rest of the catch.
At this time, Yu Xiang and Fourth Grandpa came over with a group of fishermen.
"Xiang Yang."
"Boss Xiang."
Fourth Grandpa, Yu Xiang and others greeted them from a distance.
"It's you, Fourth Grandpa and Uncle Yu." Xiang Yang also said with a smile.
"Xiang Yang, from a distance I saw a large group of reporters gathered at the dock. I watched for a long time but couldn't understand what they were doing. At first we thought they were interviewing you, but then we saw you walking towards us from the boat. What's going on with that group of people?" Fourth Grandpa asked Xiang Yang curiously.
Xiang Yang looked back and saw that the reporters were still surrounding Li Chao and taking pictures.
Xiang Yang immediately laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, those people were all invited by Boss Li."
"Ah? Fake reporter?" Yu Xiang said in surprise.
"No, they are real reporters, but this time, Li Chao paid for the interview himself." Xiang Yang waved his hand.
Fourth Grandpa looked over there, then looked at Xiang Yang, "What on earth are they interviewing about? I see Boss Li has been here for two days."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "This time when I went out, I caught a sea cucumber."
"Sea cucumber? What a good thing! It was with sea cucumbers that we made our first fortune and then jointly bought a fishing boat." Yu Xiang said with a smile.
The fourth grandfather glared and said in a low voice: "Yu Xiang, don't interrupt, let Xiang Yang finish his words."
Yu Xiang quickly shut her mouth.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Those reporters came here specifically to report on that sea cucumber."
Yu Xiang and Fourth Grandpa both blinked.
"Xiang Yang, are you saying that Boss Li called so many reporters here just to report on a sea cucumber?" Fourth Grandpa looked as if he was kidding.
At this time, Zhang Qicheng smiled and said, "Do you know how much that sea cucumber costs?"
"No matter how much it costs, it's just a sea cucumber." Fourth Grandpa said without thinking.
Zhang Qicheng smiled faintly and said softly, "Twenty million."
"What?" Yu Xiang trembled with fear.
Fourth Grandpa also widened his eyes in disbelief.
Soon, Yu Xiang shook her head and said, "Are you crazy? What kind of sea cucumber is worth 20 million?"
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Uncle Yu Xiang, it's true. That sea cucumber was indeed sold for 20 million."
Although the actual price agreed upon by Li Chao and Xiang Yang was actually 10 million, since it was announced to the public as 20 million, Xiang Yang could only stick to the claim that it was 20 million.
Yu Xiang stared at Xiang Yang blankly. He felt that his brain was totally inadequate.
Sea cucumber
Twenty million
Is it possible to equate these two things
So what were those sea cucumbers he used to sell
As soon as Xiang Yang saw Yu Xiang's dull expression, he knew that Yu Xiang wanted to go far away, so Xiang Yang explained: "Uncle Yu Xiang, the sea cucumber I caught is different from ordinary sea cucumbers."
"Is your sea cucumber made of gold?" Yu Xiang asked.
"That's not the case, it's just that the sea cucumber I caught was very big." Xiang Yang said.
"How big is it?" Yu Xiang asked.
Xiang Yang looked at Yu Xiang and said, "It's bigger than you."
After thinking about it, Xiang Yang felt that this was impolite, so he said, "He is older than me."
"That sea cucumber is more than two meters long and this thick." Xiang Yang gestured with his hands.
Yu Xiang stood there in a daze.
Fourth Grandpa immediately said, "Impossible, I have been swimming in the sea all my life, and I have never seen such a big sea cucumber."
"Don't say you haven't seen it before. I've been in the seafood business for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've seen such a big sea cucumber. I've never even heard of it before." Zhang Qicheng said.
When the fourth grandfather saw Xiang Yang and Zhang Qicheng speaking one after another, he hesitated, "Could it be that there really are sea cucumbers this big?"
"Fourth Grandpa, the big sea cucumber is right there. You will know if you go and take a look," Fang Youqun said at this time.
Xiang Yang also smiled and nodded.
Fourth Grandpa quickly pulled Yu Xiang and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Xiang Yang looked at the group of confused fishermen who were leaving and smiled proudly in his heart. To be honest, even Xiang Yang would be extremely proud to be able to catch such a large sea cucumber.
Sea cucumber, one of the eight delicacies, belongs to the invertebrate, phylum Echinodermata, class Holothuria.
There are more than 900 species in the world, and about 140 species in my country.
Among them, the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific Ocean are the areas with the most sea cucumber species and the largest resources in the world.
Sea cucumbers in my country are distributed in temperate and tropical zones. The temperate zone is mainly in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. The main economic species is the Apostichopus japonicus, which is also the most well-known sea cucumber species in my country. The tropical zone is mainly in the coastal areas of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. The main economic species include the Sea cucumber.
Among them, the Xisha Islands, the Nansha Islands and Hainan Island are the main production areas of tropical sea cucumbers in my country.
Sea cucumber is one of the eight delicacies among all kinds of land and sea delicacies, and it also has many tonic and health-preserving functions specified in traditional Chinese medicine.
Over the past half century, research on the chemical composition of more than 40 species of sea cucumbers by scholars at home and abroad has shown that sea cucumbers are not only rich in more than 50 nutrients needed by the human body, such as amino acids, vitamins and chemical elements, but also contain a variety of biologically active substances such as acidic mucopolysaccharides, saponins and collagen, and the pharmacological activity of sea cucumber active substances is very extensive.
Even the most common ginseng can generally be listed among the delicacies of mountains and seas.
Super sea cucumbers that are over two meters in size are definitely rare ingredients that are as precious as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
"Brother Xiang, you are so awesome. You can even catch such a big one. When can you catch another batch of ginseng for me?" Zhang Qicheng handed Xiang Yang a bottle of mineral water and said.
Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "It's not that easy to catch wild sea cucumbers. I was lucky to catch such a big one this time. It has nothing to do with my personal ability."
Zhang Qicheng smiled and shook his head. "Oh, by the way, there's something I almost forgot to tell you. Go to Brother Chao's hotel in a few days."
"What's the matter?" Xiang Yang asked curiously.
Zhang Qicheng pursed his lips and said, "It's almost the end of the year, Brother Chao has prepared a lot of food for his hotel. This time, he is holding a big event with your sea cucumber. He will invite two Michelin three-star chefs to the hotel to prepare some banquets. One of the tables will be for the hotel's suppliers. Here, this is the invitation Brother Chao asked me to give you."
