After daybreak, those who came to the villa to work saw that the fish mountain was higher than yesterday and they no longer wanted to talk.
Everyone takes their position according to their division of labor and gets to work!
On the last day, Su Tai mainly caught squid, octopus, lobster, shrimp, scallops and sea cucumbers.
The fishing boat has special fishing tools for these seafoods. They are very strange to operate and will take her "running around".
She felt that the fishing boats had not been quiet since the last night.
Fortunately, the harvest was good, with several thousand kilograms of sea cucumbers alone.
The best way to store and transport this thing is to remove the internal organs, boil it in water, and freeze it.
The valuable part of scallops is the abalone inside. This time, the scallops caught weighed 8,000 kilograms, mixed with many different varieties of shells and conchs.
Fishing boats already screen out poisonous shells and conchs.
What remains is edible.
She didn't dare put so many shells into the medium conveyor belt. How could she process them a second time if they were all frozen?
The best way is to put them in rattan baskets first, and then move them to the kitchen when the time is almost right to light the fire in the kitchen.
The workers had not yet finished cleaning the bluefin tuna, but when they saw the densely packed sea cucumbers and shells, they almost fainted.
In the end, almost the entire village of Zhangjia Village was mobilized, plus the tenants on the farm and the people from Dongmen Village and Ximen Village.
It took several hundred people a whole day to finally clean up all the seafood in Ahbieyuan.
During this period, some people also opened pearls, and the number was not too large or too small.
Fortunately, Su Tai had given instructions in advance, so everyone worked together and no one dared to hide anything.
After all the seafood was processed, the horse-drawn carriages that Su Chuan had contacted also arrived. There were two hundred of them, and almost all the carriages from several nearby counties were rented.
In addition to horse-drawn carriages, there were also hundreds of ox carts.
A caravan of more than 500 people set out from Moshi Town in a mighty procession, arrived at the provincial capital to meet up with the people from the escort agency, and then rushed to the imperial capital together.
On the way, they would stay for a day or two in every prosperous place.
As soon as the seafood appears, those who know about it rush to the front, while those who don’t follow behind.
When other well-off families saw this, they also gritted their teeth and paid for some.
The caravan became famous by selling goods as they walked.
It was already the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month when they arrived in the imperial capital.
Ke Yunyun brought her daughter to my Xiji Assorted Goods Store to help. The child sat in the fence playing with small toys and was enjoying herself without anyone to accompany her.
While checking the accounts, Ke Yunyun glanced at the child with a gentle smile.
After Xiaoxi saw off the customers and counted the goods, he glanced at the street, put his hands in his sleeves, shivered and jumped, "It's already Laba, why haven't my brothers arrived yet?"
Ke Yunyun looked up at her with amusement and said, "Don't worry, maybe they were delayed on the way. Anyway, they have a lot of people, so there's nothing to worry about!"
"That's true!" Xiaoxi muttered a few words, and then heard the sound of the convoy. She rushed out to see, and was overjoyed, "It really doesn't matter if I chant, but it appears as soon as I chant! Sister, they are coming!"
Ke Yunyun put down the account book and followed him out. She was so shocked by the scene that she covered her chin and asked, "Why are there so many people?"
Xiaoxi was also puzzled.
Su Chuan jumped off the carriage first and rushed into the shop. "This time the goods are seafood, large quantities! Hurry up and beat the gongs and drums to attract customers. These goods must be sold before the New Year!"
"Oh oh oh" Xiaoxi, who didn't understand what was going on, went in to get the gong without even looking at what the seafood was.
The caravan unloaded the goods and opened the boxes.
Xiaoxi on the other end kept asking for drink.
Seeing that more and more people were watching from curiosity, Ke Yunyun quickly took her daughter to the backyard to avoid any accidents due to the large crowds.
This time, Su Tai specially left a few bluefin tuna unkilled.
When the 300-pound fish was displayed, the whole street was in an uproar.
The shop owner stopped doing business and rushed to Xiji Assorted Food Shop with his customers and waiters. In just half an hour, the place was completely blocked.
The imperial capital is the imperial capital. Even ordinary people know what seafood is. Even if they have never eaten it, they understand how precious it is.
Those businessmen started to grab the goods without saying a word.
Su Chuan asked someone to guard the goods and then gave the bill to Xiaoxi for review.
Xiaoxi looked at the seafood once, then glanced at the prices, gritted his teeth and raised the price by one or two taels of silver based on the original price. No matter what, he increased the price by one or two taels of silver.
She felt a little guilty when she made the offer.
Unexpectedly, the crowd watching was so enthusiastic that they were not discouraged by the price at all.
Su Chuan and a few others helped sell the goods and collect the money, while the others were responsible for guarding the goods to prevent the excited people from scrambling for them.
After sending away the first wave of people who were blocking the way, Su Chuan counted the empty boxes and was happy. "The imperial capital is the imperial capital, there is no shortage of rich people. In the recent period of time, we have sold eight boxes of yellow croaker, twelve boxes of redwood fish, and almost ten boxes of pomfret. Someone just asked about tuna, but I kept it secret and didn't sell it. I guess someone will come to inquire about it after noon, so I'll defrost a few packages first and let them taste it first."
Su Chuan is still very confident about his goods.
Xiaoxi was busy asking them to move the goods into the backyard, so even though she had a lot of questions in her mind, she didn't have the chance to ask them.
Before I had finished packing the goods, someone came to inquire about tuna. He was dressed neatly and capablely.
He looks like a steward, or a steward of a wealthy family.
As soon as he entered the store, he kept his eyes on the oversized tuna. "Boss, how much are these fish?"
Xiaoxi hurried over to greet him, "Sir, this fish is deep-sea fish, specially eaten raw, different from other fish, you can try it. If you want to buy big fish, we have others, like this Spanish mackerel is good, 20 to 30 kilograms, steamed or braised, both are delicious, and we also have large yellow croaker, which symbolizes good luck and wealth, 7 to 8 kilograms a piece, redwood fish, red and prosperous, beautiful, oh, by the way, we also have large lobsters, sea cucumbers, scallops, squids, octopuses, many varieties."
Some of each seafood was displayed.
After looking at them one by one, the other party tasted a piece of naked and big belly, and said thoughtfully, "Where do you get all these seafood from?"
Su Chuan immediately stepped forward and answered calmly, "Qiong Zi, our hometown is close to Bingyuan, and we have relatives in Bingyuan. It is not difficult to go to Qiong Zi to pick up the goods."
The other party was obviously a little surprised and sighed, "A few years ago, my master also sent people to Qiongzi to collect seafood. The environment there is harsh, and the people don't have good fishing tools. The risk of death when fishing at sea is very high. Our people only brought back some small fish and shrimps that time. Because they didn't know how to eat them, the loss was huge.
I didn’t expect that this humble shop could contain such a treasure and such a precious item!”
Su Chuan smiled calmly and said, "Everything depends on human efforts. We are close and know the situation in Qiongzi better. Do you want it, sir?"
The other party nodded. He originally wanted to buy a whole bluefin tuna, but changed his mind after eating the finished product. "How much is this raw fish?"
Su Chuan took out a bag of sashimi, "Three different parts, three different tastes, the price is the same, ten taels of silver per bag." (End of this chapter)
