Chapter eight hundred and sixty-ninth there are goods in the stomach
In earlier years, the large yellow croakers caught by Chen Wenzhe and others were not uncommon.
But right now, even if you go out to the open sea, there is no guarantee that you will be able to catch this kind of fish.
The harder it is to catch seafood, the more expensive it is and the more popular it is with diners.
Take red grouper for example, it is much more expensive than ordinary blue grouper.
A pound of red grouper can be sold for five to six hundred and one pound.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this price is undoubtedly too high.
But for rich people, they may not necessarily have the food they want...
After seeing the fish products, Gao Qijing discussed the corresponding prices with the fish vendors.
"Although the number of these large yellow croakers is not large, they are not small in size. You can see that each one is more than one kilogram, and the heaviest one must be more than two kilograms. This is not easy, so the price cannot be less than 2,000 yuan!"
"Two thousand? Isn't this too expensive? We are on the dock." Someone was a little unhappy.
"I'm not asking for prices all over the place. Have you seen the news in the past few days?" Gao Qijing said with a smile.
When he said this, some fishmongers who originally had objections fell silent.
A few days ago, the news that Xiangshan fishermen caught thousands of kilograms of wild large yellow croaker in one net almost hit the screen.
That was the first time in 29 years that local fishermen had caught so many wild yellow croakers.
After weighing and calculation, the maximum weight of a single yellow croaker is more than 2 kilograms, totaling more than 2,450 kilograms.
After negotiating the price with the wholesaler, the deal was finally settled at 9.57 million yuan.
As soon as the news came out, it instantly became a hot topic on the Internet.
After all, more than 9.5 million is not a small amount. With such a large amount of money, you may not be able to win so much even if you buy a lottery ticket.
I have to say, I really got rich overnight.
However, while they were envious of them, many friends were curious as to how expensive the yellow croaker was.
Through the above introduction, we can easily find that the average price of these wild yellow croakers is 1938.78 yuan per catty.
This price, I have to say, is really not affordable for ordinary people.
And according to the reports in the news, it seems that this ship of yellow croaker is not worried about sales, otherwise it would not be possible to sell out all at once.
Is such a high price just for food?
If it’s not just for eating, then what is the value of wild yellow croaker?
Not to mention, this thing is quite big. Overall, not only does it have a lot of stuff in its head, but it also has a lot of stuff in its stomach.
Gao Qijing is definitely not aimless, because he knows that 1938.78 is not the highest price.
Of course, the fishmongers at the scene knew better, so they did not continue to say anything.
Because as early as March 31, 2021, Shendu Online released another news about wild yellow croaker.
However, the number of large yellow croakers reported that time was not large because they were caught, and the fish caught weighed 2.6 kilograms.
On March 29, it sold for 22,000 yuan, equivalent to 4,230.77 yuan per catty, which is higher than the price above.
I have to say, this once again made people curious about wild yellow croaker.
It's just a fish, why is it so valuable?
In fact, the value of wild yellow croaker is really not low, let alone its edible value. This kind of fish is definitely delicious.
In fact, those who generally buy large yellow croaker at high prices are definitely not interested in eating it, but for medicinal purposes.
Wild large yellow croakers not only eat meat, they also have food in their stomachs.
We all know that the swim bladder is an important organ of fish.
I believe many of my friends played with it when I was young, and the swim bladder of the large yellow croaker has many uses.
First, it can be dried into the valuable food "fish maw", and secondly, it can be made into yellow fish maw.
Of course, it can also be used as a raw material for industrial high-grade adhesives. It also has certain medicinal value and is a raw material for some important or Western medicines.
Many people should know this, but what no one knows is that it also has stuff in its head.
There are two hard stones in the head of the yellow croaker, called otoliths, which also have certain medicinal value.
In fact, from these points of view, we should know that the uses of yellow croaker are indeed quite large.
Since merchants are willing to pay so much money to buy it, and also buy so much at once, it also shows that wild yellow croaker is very popular among consumers in the market.
The sales price that ordinary people see may only be a fraction of the value of wild yellow croaker.
If all the above value is really realized, it may not just be as simple as millions.
In fact, another reason why Gao Qijing can bite the bullet and sell it for two thousand yuan per catty is that his fish are alive.
They are all professionals, so they naturally know what Gao Qijing means.
He just mentioned it briefly, and the fishmongers agreed.
After the price was negotiated, Gao Qijing smiled and said: "The fish and crabs are all alive. Hurry up and bring the fish truck over. We will weigh the fish and pack the fish and crabs later."
"Okay! Then let's get busy!"
After negotiating the corresponding price, Gao Qijing began to greet the crew and clean the catch in the water tank.
Baskets of crabs are fished out, weighed, and poured into water tanks driven by fishmongers.
The accountant in charge of keeping records began to feel a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, there are many people, so there won't be any problems.
Empty a water tank and send away a fishmonger.
Before leaving, the fishmonger also started making transfers in front of the accountant.
Faced with the collection of accounts worth hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands each, the young non-professional accountant also felt frightened.
He couldn't help but sigh: "If you count this shipment, I'm afraid it can be sold for several million, right?"
Although all the crabs have been screened, some crabs that can be sold at a higher price are picked up and put aside by the old crew.
If fishermen want these big crabs, they have to pay a higher price.
If the fishmonger thinks it's not a good deal, then Qian Cheng will eat it.
The bigger the crab, the higher the price, but the more popular it is with diners.
Therefore, such a good product can be kept after buying it anyway. Qian Cheng is really not afraid of wasting it if he buys too much.
But these fishmongers are also smart and would rather pay a little more than give up this rare good product.
While lamenting that Gao Qijing is too smart, they must also pay obediently.
Otherwise, I may not sell you the next time I have good products.
When it was his turn to salvage those sea fish, Qian Cheng also started to get serious.
Looking at the large yellow croaker and red grouper struggling in the net, he almost always caught one and said: "I want this one! After weighing it, put the water tanker in for me to keep!"
I want every one, but the fishmongers are not very happy about it. They dare not speak out in anger!
Chen Wenzhe, who was standing nearby, also felt a little funny when he saw Qian Cheng like this.
However, he has heard of this person a long time ago. It can be said that Gao Qijing and others did not break up before, and it is definitely his contribution.
Therefore, after finally getting an opportunity, it is appropriate for him to choose more good products. After all, he has paid more before.
Chen Wenzhe really doesn't know much about their comradeship, but he wants to see this kind of friendship!
