~11 min read 2,085 words

Everyone discussed excitedly on the car with envy, jealousy, and hatred. A-Guang came late and hadn't been amazed, so he squatted there, measuring its head with his hand, and touching the tassels on its head from time to time.

"Dongzi, how much can this oarfish of yours sell for?"

"How would I know? Haven't caught it, and haven't heard of anyone catching it. Send it to the wharf first and see."

Others also said interestedly: "It can definitely sell for several hundred, maybe it can sell for over a thousand yuan..."

"Holy crap, so much?"

"Almost 200 jin, who has seen such a rare fish? Those rich bosses must buy it back to taste the meat? Have a full fish banquet? Damn, how much face does this have!"

"Grass, that's true. Such a big one, carrying it on the street for a circle, there is light on the face."

"So this is the reason why you shamelessly followed?"

A-Guang stared, "How are you talking? Who is shameless? I am the future brother-in-law, my own people, you are a group of shameless..."

Several people scolded each other on the tractor until they entered the town street before they stopped a little.

"Do you think we should lift the oarfish directly, so it's eye-catching? Since we are here, we must be a bit ostentatious, right?"

Ye Yaodong touched his chin and nodded, "Makes sense, then you guys lift it!"

He won't go up...

Several people were really full of interest, lifting the body, holding the fish head, and hugging the tail, looking glorious, which made him feel a bit embarrassed...

As soon as everyone lifted the fish, they saw people passing by on the street widening their eyes in surprise.

One person was carrying a load on his shoulder, and it fell to the ground instantly in surprise. The remaining cabbage and radish fell out.

"Holy crap, what fish is so long?"

"Ah? Hairtail? So long..."

"Holy crap~ what fish is that? Fake, right?"

"Hey... what fish is this of yours..."

A-Zheng shouted excitedly at the people on the street: "This is an oarfish, 6.3 meters long, almost 200 jin. If you want to see it, go to the Yujing Wharf..."

Others also shouted excitedly at the street, popularizing the oarfish to everyone...

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but support his forehead. Thank you brothers for helping to promote it. Calling you is right...

At this time, it was almost time for dinner, and there were relatively many people closing stalls. There were farmers carrying bamboo baskets returning home everywhere on the road. Fortunately, they were standing on the car, and only those who had already walked past saw it, which didn't affect the tractor's progress for a while.

Some curious people saw such a big fish, and were immediately curious and didn't leave, directly carrying the load and following behind the car, planning to follow and watch the fun.

With the loud voices of the brothers promoting it, there was already a large crowd behind the tractor before it reached the Yujing Wharf. Some merchants on the street also ran out to watch.

When the tractor drove to the Yujing Wharf, the crowd behind the tractor was almost impassable. People in the crowd had already promoted it to each other, knowing that this fish was an earthquake fish.

The wharf was full of various vehicles, including tricycles, flatbed carts, and tractors moving cargo. Fishmongers coming and going, and coolies unloading and moving fish cargo, the noise was deafening...

When the tractor stopped, they felt that they couldn't get off the car.

"Don't get off, let's just stand on the tractor, a bit higher, a bit more eye-catching, so as not to get off and be squeezed. What if some wicked person scratches the fish with a knife? Wouldn't I lose a lot?"

"Right, right, right, it's safer to just stand on the tractor."

Before they could shout, a group of people chased and asked about the situation of the fish in their hands. People working and collecting cargo on the wharf also surrounded them to watch the fun, and shocked another batch of people.

"How do you sell this oarfish?"

"Right, how do you sell this oarfish? Heard this is an earthquake fish..."

People who didn't know the goods asked one after another, and those who knew the goods, or had already been popularized, hurriedly explained. The scene was noisy.

But Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry. Just coming, it must also give people some time to react.

People below kept chasing and asking for the price, and he just said wait.

"Dongzi, how long do we have to wait?"

"Wait half an hour and see, also give some people time to react."

The crowd around the tractor was getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, they had many helpers, and they would not be very tired if they kept carrying the oarfish and rotating.

Until Ye Yaodong saw two people riding motorcycles coming one after another in the distance, and there were several bicycles beside them. Only then did his eyes light up. This is what rich people's standard configuration looks like.

Walking closer, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, Hong Wenle, the young master of the Hongsheng Hotel, and a middle-aged man riding a motorcycle, don't know who it was.

"Make way, make way, let our young master in..."

"It's you, old acquaintance. Why didn't you lift the good cargo to our hotel? Ran outside the wharf, almost didn't make it when I heard the news."

Ye Yaodong smiled and greeted, "Isn't this thinking that this oarfish is too rare? Sent it to the wharf, many people, show off first."

"Indeed rare, this kind of oarfish has never appeared locally. Everyone hasn't even heard of it. How long and how heavy is this one? Have you weighed it? Need to call someone to lift a scale over?"

"Weighed, 6.3 meters long, 196 jin 4 liang. If you are not at ease, you can also borrow a scale from the wharf and push it over."

"This is still trustworthy. How do you plan to sell it?"

"Holy crap, this fish is really not small..."

A fat man with a big belly also squeezed into the crowd. Just after sighing, he smiled and greeted Hong Wenle, "Nephew, why are you here too? Looking at this, you still know this young man who sells fish."

"Bought cargo from him several times. He has rare things in his hands every once in a while. Isn't it that I haven't seen him for a while, and he actually got an oarfish? Uncle Cheng's news is quite well-informed? Actually abandoned the work in the shop and ran over."

"Isn't this hearing that someone caught an oarfish, so I came out to see it. This fish is incredible. Heard that whenever this fish appears, the ground has to shake three times. A fish that has only existed in legends, actually someone can catch it?"

"It is said so, but don't know if it is. But rare is really rare. I haven't seen such a long fish in my life..."

While they were talking, several men wearing Zhongshan suits, shiny leather shoes, and three-seven parted hair with hair wax, looking like human-like men, came again.

Rich people really know rich people. After someone automatically opened the way, several people actually smiled and greeted.

Boss Chen, you are here?

Boss Wang, you are here too?

Business is booming...

Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry, smiling and watching them chat, his eyes continuing to look into the distance, wanting to see if there were any other rich bosses.

After they finished greeting and exchanging pleasantries, they turned to ask him, how to sell the fish?

Ye Yaodong looked at the time and felt it was almost time, so he said: "This fish is called oarfish, also called earthquake fish. In such a while, everyone should know it. This was accidentally caught by me at sea this morning. When I first saw it, I was also quite confused, didn't know what it was, and only thought it was an oarfish later."

"This fish is rare, I don't need to say, everyone should know how hard it is to get. Ordinary people may not necessarily see it in their lifetime. Its legend, everyone should have heard of it from each other just now. In the next few days, everyone be alert, don't sleep too soundly at night."

Who knows if there will be changes in the two lives? Should remind, still have to remind.

The bosses below shouted, "We all know this, just tell us how you sell this oarfish?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and looked at the bosses in front of him, "Don't worry, you listen to me first. This oarfish has been measured, 6.3 meters long, 196 jin 4 liang. I think since all the bosses are here, they must want it. After all, it's rare to see it in decades. If you buy it, you have light on your face, and you have face when you say it out."

"The bosses are strong and rich, and at a glance, you know that the strength is strong. If this fish is bought back, you can brag to the younger generation for decades, and your legend can be left in the town..."

"Hahaha... you boy can really talk, making us have to buy it. Hurry up, how to sell?"

"That's fine, it's getting late, and there are quite a few of you, so just bid directly. Base price 300, each increase not less than ten yuan, the highest bidder gets it."

As soon as his price was shouted, the crowd was immediately in an uproar. This price could directly buy two sets of three-turn-one-sound. This is still the starting price. Except for rich bosses, those in the unit can't afford it.

Anyway, he is not trying to sell to ordinary people, and ordinary people don't want to buy it.

Suddenly, everyone became excited again. It's not just that people who buy it back can brag, like those who see it with their own eyes, they can also brag when they go back.

"Almost 200 jin, starting bid at 300, not expensive, buy a rare one, I bid 350..."

"400..."

"420..."

"I bid 450..."

"I bid 500..."

These fat guys are not short of money. In their port, the poor are really poor, but the rich are all rich. Which one of the smuggling at sea hasn't participated? Just leaking a little from the fingers is hundreds of yuan.

What rich people like is that face!

Such a big oarfish, the first time it appeared in their port, really, whoever buys it, saying it out has light on the face, and it can be widely spread.

And it's not a waste. It's perfect to hold a family banquet. Saying that you have eaten a 6-meter-long oarfish is simply the first one in the whole place.

People with heads and faces are particular about face. As for whether it is delicious? Is the meat quality good? You have to buy it and eat it to know. Currently, it is definitely not in their consideration.

Several bosses are not short of money, and the prices shouted one by one. When it was called to 800, none of them had the smiling appearance at the beginning, and all had a bit of a smiling face hiding a knife.

"Boss Chen, this is not your fault? Why is it that every time I finish increasing the price? You follow closely, and you don't follow when others increase the price?"

"What is Boss Li talking about? Everyone is a friend, who looks at people when increasing the price?"

"This is not necessarily true. Who knows when you will have an opinion on me?"

Hong Wenle smiled and said: "Uncles, don't fight, so as not to hurt the harmony. Let it to me, I bid 820, I will hold a table at the hotel tonight, and everyone will come together to taste it, how about it?"

Everyone smiled and didn't speak, looking at each other with a smile. Can the one invited by others be the same as the one bought home by yourself? It's not yours if you can't say it out.

Ye Yaodong smiled on the side, "Bidding to 820, do the bosses want to increase the price? If you are not prepared to increase the price, then sell to..."
