Xiao Qing was stunned for a few seconds, and then there was a hint of waning resentment in his tone.
"Boss, if you have to be so professional, you will make others feel unfulfilled!"
Lin Chou scratched his head,
"I'm just guessing. It's really not my fault. Who makes the Red Devil Shrimp look so unique? Vertex 23S. The fastest update."
Leng Han said curiously,
"Why is such a cute shrimp called this name?"
Lin Chou said,
"The red devil shrimp was originally from Paramos, Spain before the Cataclysm. It was also produced in small quantities on the Mediterranean coast. It is also called crimson prawn. I don't understand the evil taste of the crooked nut of the devil shrimp."
"The adult length of the Red Devil Shrimp is between 15-30 centimeters, and its body is very brightly colored from head to tail. It is extremely magnificent. Of course, it not only has the best appearance among shrimps, but also has the same thrilling taste. It is usually eaten before the catastrophe.
The most commonly used saying by humans to describe the Red Devil Shrimp is 'it has a fragrance ten times that of ordinary wild shrimps', and, most importantly, it is rare enough."
Leng Han muttered,
"rare?"
Lin Chou nodded,
"Yes, relatively speaking, the origin of Paramos has strict restrictions on the fishing regulations of red devil shrimp. For example, the water depth of fishing operations must be between 300 and 1,000 meters, and fishing boats cannot work more than five hours a week.
Days, the power must not exceed 500 horsepower, there are four fishing moratoriums every year, etc., etc., so that the maximum annual output of red devil shrimp in the origin of Paramos does not exceed one hundred tons, and the global output is only about one thousand tons, compared to
At that time, among the tens of billions of people in the world, there were countless hungry mouths waiting for food, and this number was really too small to even fit between the teeth."
"Now... to be honest, this is the first time I've seen the real thing..."
Leng Han picked up a red devil shrimp and put it to his nose and smelled it.
"There is a very nice shrimp scent. I can't smell anything special. But since it is so rare, wouldn't it be possible for few people to buy it before the cataclysm?"
Lin Chou scratched his head,
"It is almost impossible for private individuals to buy red devil shrimps from the origin of Paramos. Of course, in this case, we must first exclude those real foodies who are rich and powerful. Red devil shrimps will be eaten before they even come out of the water.
Restaurants all over the world are fully booked, leaving almost no opportunity for middlemen to show their skills. As for the price, it is quite affordable. One kilogram of 6-8 red devil shrimps is about 150 euros, which is about a thousand dollars.
"
Leng Han pinched his fingers and seemed to be settling accounts.
"I know that before the catastrophe, rice cost about four yuan per pound...then this price doesn't seem expensive."
Xiao Qing snickered,
"Girl, that's not the case. Ordinary people can hardly buy red devil shrimps from the country of origin. If you want to eat good ones, you can only go to restaurants with stars. The most authentic and best red devil shrimps can be found after walking around the restaurant and coming out.
Wan Ye is very normal.”
Lin Chou nodded,
"Only the Red Devil Shrimp from Paramus can truly be called Red Devil Shrimp. This is not a question of money, but of too few resources."
Leng Han said oh, his face full of doubts,
"Then these of yours are the Red Devil Shrimps of Paramus?"
"I...cough cough cough..."
Xiao Qing's face is a little blue,
"Girl, this is not the case. This is a period of great catastrophe. It is not certain whether there will be a Mediterranean Sea. I..."
"That's a fake, a knockoff!"
"..."
Xiao Qing glanced at Lin Chou with a pleading look, "Boss, you can do whatever you want!"
Lin Chou smiled bitterly,
"You can't say that. After the cataclysm, marine life did not follow the same order as before. It was all messed up. However, with the current level of self-purification of water quality and the function of the origin, even if this shrimp is not from Paramus, the taste is still the same.
It will only get better and not worse.”
"oh..."
Leng Han nodded,
"Then... wouldn't Paramus' Red Devil Shrimp taste even better now!"
Xiao Qing almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
She looked discouraged,
"Well..."
Just as Lin Chou was about to speak, Leng Han snorted,
"You still think it's a good thing, just like that? It's so mysterious!"
Xiao Qing held a bag of sincere tears,
"Auntie, it's not that we want to be secretive, but the base city classifies this kind of thing as 'luxury goods'. Buyers and sellers with high independent taxes can jump off the building to prove their innocence and go through the normal process.
This shrimp costs at least 70,000 circulation points, and we each have to pay an independent tax of 50,000. You can do the math yourself..."
Leng Han: "???"
Luxury goods are generally defined as "a type of consumer goods that are unique, scarce, rare and beyond the scope of people's survival and development needs."
Literally understood, this red devil shrimp is completely useless except for being delicious, and does not contribute to the strength of the evolver. This kind of thing that appears purely for enjoyment does not think about the support of the base city, and promotes the circulation of the consumer economy.
People don't expect this kind of stuff at all, so it's a sign of respect that they didn't ban it outright.
There are many similar examples in Mingguang Base City, and puffer fish is one of them.
It means you can sell it, but you have to pay me the full tax.
Who makes the meaning of this thing not positive enough compared to this period? As for whether you will lose money or make money, you can do it yourself. Mingguang is not begging you to catch this thing.
Leng Han: "Evading taxes and robbing people at the same time?"
Xiao Qing looked sad and didn't even look at Leng Han.
"Boss, do you want it? I can make the decision and give you a 10% discount, but it can only be done in cash, not by credit card."
Then he put on an expression that looked like a broken jar,
"The shelf life of this stuff is very short. If you don't want it, I'll make some soy sauce, vinegar and horseradish and eat it later. Anyway, I won't feel any pain in my stomach."
Bah, don't feel sorry for me, my heart is bleeding.
It's not easy to find a good customer, but after just a few words, I was forced to do this!
In fact, Xiao Qing's sea hunting team has not caught red devil shrimps a few times in total. Of course, what is less than the number of catches is the opportunity to sell them.
"..."
Lin Chou looked innocent.
Damn it, cash?
Can't afford it, can't afford it...
When Xiao Qing saw Lin Chou's expression, he became even more desperate.
"Boss... don't tell me you don't even bring cash with you to a place like this!"
"I..."
"Of course there is money!"
Xiao Qing and Lin Chou both looked at Leng Han.
Leng Han grabbed it twice in his pocket,
"Ding-dang-dang-rang..."
Xiao Qing's eyes suddenly widened,
"Gold...gold..."
Twist one grain,
"This grain is enough, gold. If this is sent to the Research Institute... Huh? The boss is really interesting. He even carved the gold into the shape of a hazelnut. Not to mention it looks quite similar... If I am not short of money.
If I had to get a few of them and put them on display, they would be like works of art, the carvings are so good."
As if afraid that the two of them would object, he put it in his pocket and hid it.
Lin Chou reacted for a long time, and then almost laughed out loud!
Well, hold it in.
Leng Han suddenly blinked at Lin Chou, feeling inexplicably cute.
