When the group arrived at Fu San's house, he was washing fish baskets in the yard.
These fish baskets are usually used to carry fish to sell in the county town. He just returned from delivering the fish and, having nothing else to do, decided to clean the fish baskets.
Although he deals with the smell of fish every day, Fu San's purchasing station is unusually clean.
The business owners in the county town always noticed that his fish baskets and cart were always clean, making them much more willing to buy fish from him.
After all, a clean fish basket makes the seafood look prettier!
As soon as Fu Ming and Fu Liang entered the room, they very consciously went over and took over all the work from Fu San's hands.
Although Fu San is a generation older than Fu Ming and Fu Liang, he doesn't act like an elder when they get along.
So when Fu San saw the two of them come to help, he didn't treat them like outsiders and started ordering them around without hesitation.
Fu Wan was pulled into the main house by Lin Qiuju. Fu Wan was terrified when she saw Lin Qiuju's big belly, and she quickly and carefully supported Lin Qiuju.
"Auntie, don't bother, I can sit by myself, and I can pour the water myself!"
If she bumps into or hurts herself, she'll be the one who commits a sin.
Upon hearing Fu Wan's words, Lin Qiuju waved her hand and said, "It's alright. It'll be good for me to stand up and walk around a bit. It'll make it easier for the baby to be born later."
"You still need to keep an eye on things. There's quite a bit of water in the yard, so be careful when you walk. By the way, Auntie, where's Aunt Zhao?"
Fu Wan found it strange that she hadn't seen Lin Qiuju's mother since she entered the house.
She quite liked Aunt Zhao last time because of her hospitality.
"My mother, she went back home. She planted a lot of vegetables at home and was thinking of going back to check on them. Your third uncle will pick her up this afternoon."
So that's how it is.
Fu Wan was about to say something when a commotion came from the courtyard gate.
"Is Fu San home?"
A strong voice rang out, and Fu Wan looked in the direction of the voice and saw several men dressed in different clothes walking in.
Some of the people here look familiar; they're the same owners who bought bluefin tuna before.
However, the people walking in front today were all unfamiliar faces. Judging from the respectful manners of the bosses behind them, Fu Wan guessed that the people in front must be quite important.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhang, you're here so early!"
Fu San quickly wiped the water off on the towel next to him, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and went over to offer them.
However, he was somewhat taken aback when he saw the man in the lead. "Who are these comrades...?"
Mr. Liu, who was standing next to him, took the cigarette that Fu San handed him and quickly introduced him to the cigarette.
"Fu San, you've hit the jackpot! These two are bosses from Beijing and Hong Kong. They heard you have yellow croaker here, so they came all the way here to take a look!"
So they came from Beijing and Hong Kong. No wonder they look a bit different from the locals.
Since the guests were guests, Fu San was not intimidated and reached out to shake hands with the bosses to show goodwill.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper in the floral shirt who was closest to Fu San hesitated to reach out, but the man in the Zhongshan suit on the other side grabbed him immediately.
"Young boss, you look quite young. My name is Sun Youjin, and I came all the way from Beijing!"
"So it's Mr. Sun from Beijing! Hello, hello!"
After shaking hands with him, Fu San had some doubts in his heart.
Sun Youjin, that name sounds somewhat familiar, but I wonder what his relationship is with Sun Youcai from the county town!
Just as I was thinking about Sun Youcai, Sun Youcai arrived.
The kid arrived in a tractor, and the noise of the tractor immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the yard.
"Haha, I've finally arrived! Comrades, I'm not late, am I!"
Sun Youcai is indeed talented. While others came empty-handed, he was an exception, carrying a lot of things in large and small bags.
"Fu San, this is a small token of my wife's appreciation for your family. Please accept it!"
Before Fu Sanlai could refuse, Sun Youcai stuffed his arms full of things.
After greeting Fu San, Sun Youcai smiled and waved to Fu Wan.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, you have some too. My wife also prepared one for you!"
Fu Wan was surprised to find that she also had one.
"Sun Youcai, what are you doing?"
Zhang Gui, standing in the crowd, was somewhat displeased. This guy was just a dried goods store owner; he didn't know why he was getting involved in this mess.
And it stole the spotlight from everyone else as soon as it arrived.
Those who strike seductive poses are good at pleasing women!
Can't you see that even the Mr. He you invited doesn't look happy?
Sun Youcai ignored him, shoved the things in his hand into Fu Wan's hands, and then greeted and shook hands with Boss Fu.
Even Fu Ming and Fu Liang, who had just finished washing their fish baskets, were not spared.
"Mr. Fu, it's getting late. Are you going to sell anything or not?"
The man in the floral shirt glanced at the gold watch on his wrist, looking somewhat impatient.
"I'm here to buy things, not to watch your performance."
Fu Wan and the others understood immediately; judging from the non-standard Mandarin, they were probably guests from Hong Kong.
"Sorry, sorry, I'll start right away!"
Regardless, they were all his guests. Today was a joyous day for selling fish, and Fu San didn't want to bring bad luck upon himself!
He smiled and smoothed things over, inviting the bosses to sit down, and then instructed Fu Ming and Fu Liang, who were standing next to him.
"Go to the cold storage and get a yellow croaker!"
"Alright!"
Fu Ming responded, and the two brothers ran to the nearby cold storage as fast as they could and picked out a medium-sized yellow croaker.
As soon as the yellow croaker was brought out, everyone present couldn't sit still and gathered around to examine it.
From surprise to delight, and then to certainty of victory.
Mr. He from Hong Kong rushed over immediately. When he saw the standard black spots under the fish's gills, his face lit up with joy, and he kept muttering to himself.
"Golden croaker, such a beautiful golden croaker!"
After a careful examination, Sun Youjin nodded in confirmation, "It is indeed a yellow croaker."
Fu San smiled and said, "Don't worry, bosses, when I do business, I absolutely guarantee the genuine products and fair prices, and I'll never cheat anyone, young or old!"
"Hey Indian, how much is this golden croaker?"
In his excitement, Boss He's words were a bit incoherent. It was the first time Fu San had ever heard someone call him Ah San, and he felt that the title was rather unpleasant.
“I have four yellow croakers to sell, but there are more than four business owners here today.”
Therefore, we will proceed with the most traditional auction: highest bidder wins!
"Four? Wasn't there supposed to be six?"
Zhang Gui was the first to panic. The reason he invited the Hong Kong boss over was to ensure that he would have fish while also giving Boss He face.
There are five bosses sitting here now, but Fu San said there are only four yellow croakers?
Fu San was somewhat annoyed. He had already decided not to keep his own yellow croaker, so he had inadvertently let slip that he had six fish.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Gui remembered it immediately.
There was nothing he could do but laugh it off, "We had six before, but we kept two for ourselves, so we're only selling four. The highest bidder wins!"
"I understand everyone's desire to buy fish, but there are only four yellow croakers left. These fish are really rare, and there's nothing I can do about it!"
