Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp
Chapter 62 Rich and Rich
Chai Feng was stunned, his eyes flickering.
"This fishmonger has an extraordinary talent for swordsmanship. With a little training, he will surely become a powerful general."
The man beside him immediately broke out in a cold sweat and whispered, "Master Chai, be careful with your words..."
Although Chai Feng holds an official title, he does not lead any troops. What is the use of a tiger general?
Chai Feng realized that he had said something wrong, so he changed the subject and listened carefully to Chen Erlang introducing the treasure fish.
Chen Changfan didn't know that others were criticizing him. He was busy raising prices.
"My fellow villagers, it's been so many years since Qingshan County has produced such a precious fish. Don't you want to taste it?"
"I'm sure everyone knows that redtail is delicious and can cure illnesses and save lives. But this giant bony fish is even better than redtail. I can guarantee that its meat will taste even better!"
"Since everyone is willing to come to my Chen Ji Fish stall today to show their support, I won't hide anything. I'll directly put out 50 kilograms of fish for auction. The rest of the fish will be available for purchase at the starting price!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately became interested.
This giant bony fish is good, but it is too big. They can only look at it with envy but cannot participate at all.
But if you buy it by the kilogram, maybe you can buy some to taste.
After all, this is how people think. When they see something they have never eaten, no matter how expensive it is, they will want to buy it and try it out.
"Fifty kilograms of fish meat were auctioned, and the rest were sold individually. This fishmonger was quite clever. He left room for the wealthy to bid, while also leaving some meat for the common people. It's hard to forget the reputation of Chen Ji Fish Stall now."
Chai Feng couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes.
Everyone present looked towards the fishmonger in the middle of the auction, waiting expectantly for him to give the starting price.
"The starting price for the meat of the giant bone treasure fish is three taels of silver per pound!"
Three taels!
Even though they were mentally prepared, everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.
The three members of the Wu family, who had been watching the fish stall opposite with gloomy faces, could not help but sneer:
"The fish head just now weighed only 20 jin, and the starting price was 20 liang, which is equivalent to one liang of silver.
But when it comes to fish, the price has actually risen to three taels of silver per catty. This Chen Erlang must be crazy about money! "
"Three taels of silver per pound, only a fool would buy it! Just wait for the fish to go unsold. If it's sold loose, I don't think many people would buy it."
The best whitebait in their fish stall only costs ten cents per pound. How can this damn giant bony fish be more delicious than whitebait?
When Chai Feng and others heard what the three people from the Wu family said, their faces turned cold.
Without waiting for Chai Feng to say anything, the two big men ran directly to the Wu family fish stall and overturned the other party's stall without any hesitation.
"What are you three birdmen doing all these babbling about? You can't even recognize a precious fish, and you still have the nerve to come out and sell fish?"
"Ugh, that stinks! You're actually selling dead fish to everyone to eat? I'm going to smash your stall!"
As they spoke, the two men dismantled the Wu family's fish stall in a few moves. The three members of the Wu family were terrified, but they did not dare to offend the two great warriors, so they could only look at the onlookers for help.
"Master Qian! Please come and take charge of this for us. We are doing business honestly, but these two people are trying to destroy our business!"
Wu Yong spotted Qian Ke in the crowd at a glance and immediately called for help, but the other party seemed not to hear him. His short and fat body was extremely agile at this time and he quickly hid in the crowd and disappeared.
Qian Ke quickly slipped away while cursing in his heart.
"Those blind bastards from the Wu family even dared to offend Mr. Chai. They're truly mad at the thought of dying! It looks like the Chen family will be the only ones left running the fish stalls in this market tomorrow..."
The small commotion here did not affect the enthusiasm of the crowd to buy fish. At this time, some people in the crowd had already started to shout up the price.
"I'll pay three taels and five cents!" shouted a man who looked like a young master.
"Don't come and join in the fun if you only want three taels and five cents. I'll give you four taels!" Another young master-looking man sneered.
"Go play over there, little brat!" Li, the shopkeeper from Zuixianju, was determined to win. He raised his hand and shouted, "I'm Zuixianju. I'm offering five taels!"
Although these people seemed to have plenty of money, they were all very cautious when bidding.
After all, this is fifty jin of fish. If you ask for one tael more, that means fifty taels of silver will be spent.
Sure enough, when the price reached this point, many people dared not say a word.
Just when Boss Li was feeling smug and thinking he had succeeded, the annoying voice of Shopkeeper Fu suddenly rang out:
"I am a vegetarian and I am willing to pay six taels!"
"Fu! You just want to go against me, right?"
Shopkeeper Li glared at Shopkeeper Fu with resentment, but when he saw that the other party just laughed and ignored him.
"Eight taels! I'll take the fish meat today!" Shopkeeper Li's eyes were red and his voice was a little hoarse.
Shopkeeper Fu gritted his teeth and said nothing.
This guy surnamed Li went crazy and increased the price by two hundred taels at once. It seemed that he didn't want to raise the price any further.
At this price, he couldn't keep up.
"Eight taels of silver, no one can offer a higher price than me, bring down the hammer quickly!" Shopkeeper Li looked at Chen Changfan and urged anxiously.
"Shopkeeper Li is so arrogant..."
A deep and powerful voice suddenly sounded from the crowd. Shopkeeper Li immediately stood up and looked over there. When he saw Chai Feng with an indifferent expression, his face suddenly fell.
It turned out to be Mr. Chai?
"Ten taels of silver, I, Chai Feng, want it."
Chai Feng's voice was not loud, but it was resounding.
Boss Li and the others looked away awkwardly, and suddenly no one dared to bid anymore.
You would have to be really desperate to compete with Mr. Chai.
Seeing that no one else bid, Chen Changfan called out the price three times and then dropped the hammer.
The fifty catties of fish were auctioned off at ten taels of silver per catty, for a total of five hundred taels of silver.
After a while, a big man came forward, took out five hundred taels of silver and handed it to Chen Changfan, then carried away the large piece of fish with one hand.
Chen Changfan took the banknote and bowed to Chai Feng from a distance, who just nodded slightly.
Is this what a rich person is like? He's really rich and powerful...
After repeatedly looking at the banknotes in his hand, Chen Changfan couldn't help feeling excited.
This is five hundred taels of silver!
This one giant bony fish is worth hundreds of redtails!
He signaled Lao Wei and others to take care of selling fish, while he ignored the somewhat resentful looks of the three Wu family members and walked straight towards where Mr. Chai was.
He also realized that after today, the Wu family fish stall was completely finished.
He didn't even use killer promotional tactics like knife fights, coupons, and blind boxes, and the Wu family fish stall brought itself down.
For now, it is better to maintain a relationship with this Mr. Chai. Maybe there will be a time when I can use him in the future.
Seeing Chen Changfan walking towards him, Chai Feng stopped slightly, watched the other party walk forward and bowed to him.
"Thank you for coming here today, Mr. Chai. My name is Chen Changfan, and I've long heard of your great name!"
He didn't know how to get close to the boss, but he must have heard of his name for a long time.
Chai Feng had a good impression of Chen Erlang and nodded, saying, "If you can catch any spiritual fish or precious fish in the future, send them directly to my Chai Family Fort and I will take them all."
Awesome! This guy is really rich!
It seems that I will have to catch more spirit fish in the future.
After all, a spirit fish costs at least a few hundred coins. In comparison, the fixed income of more than a hundred coins a day in the Yuanwai Mansion seems a bit shabby.
