At this time, you must try to fool people and sell all these things to the gentleman in front of you.
"Please look at these again." Zhao Dali worked very hard. It was obvious that Mr. Chen liked the fish they brought here very much. In that case, they would sell all of them to Mr. Chen in one go and get some money for their trip, which would be worthwhile.
Mr. Chen spent a huge amount of money to buy the strange-looking sea fish one by one, but Zhao Dali no longer cared about the remaining ordinary-looking sea fish. After all, he had made such a huge sum of money from Mr. Chen, so why would he care about the profit from these small fish?
"Come here, bring all these fish back to me. Put the live ones in the pond for a few days, and prepare the dead ones and use them directly for the dinner I will host tonight. Ask the chefs in the mansion to prepare them well and not waste such rare ingredients." Mr. Chen said with a smile.
It was a coincidence that tonight, he was planning to hold a banquet to entertain several of his good friends, and the location was naturally at Mr. Chen's house. He was originally worried that the dinner would be too ordinary and nothing amazing, but now it seems that he doesn't need to worry about this. The rare seafood he bought now, once made into dishes, would be enough for him to attract a lot of attention tonight.
In the entire city of Qingyang, do you have the money to eat these strange-looking ingredients? I'm afraid you can't even see them if you want to.
After all the fish were sold, the total profit was 170 taels. After receiving the banknote from the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, Zhao Dali immediately left with his men.
No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong with those fish. If something is abnormal, it must be a demon. They should be thankful that they can sell these fish at a high price. If Mr. Chen suddenly changes his mind and decides not to buy them, they will be in big trouble.
In a short while, Zhao Dali and his group had evacuated from the Chen Mansion.
Mr. Chen took out the turtle with the colorful crystals on its back from the bamboo basket. He smiled and stroked its shell, saying, "It's really interesting. This is the first time I've seen a turtle like this. I could wait until the turtle dies and make an object from its shell. I could hold it in my hands and play with it every day. It would be very interesting."
When Zhao Dali sold fish to Chen Yuanwai this time, it was like a drop of water falling into a pond, which did not splash at all, let alone attract other people's attention.
…
At night, at Mr. Chen’s mansion.
Mr. Chen Bin is a foreigner. He moved to Qingyang City with all his property more than ten years ago and settled down here permanently. He has a good talent for business and quickly took root in Qingyang City. His business is booming. Fenglai Restaurant is one of his businesses.
Doing business naturally requires making friends. Chen Bin and several other officials in the city agreed that Official Chen would host a banquet for them at the Chen Mansion today, and at the same time they would discuss joining forces to set up a chamber of commerce in Qingyang City.
If one person does business alone, the wealth he can earn is limited. However, if many rich people join hands and set up a chamber of commerce, and everyone contributes his or her connections and strength, the money everyone earns can be multiplied several times. This is a good thing that is better shared than enjoyed alone.
The officials who came to the Chen residence for the banquet today included Official Zhuang from Baixiu Cloth Shop, Official Li from Xiangxiang Wine Shop, and Official Sun from Yiqian Pawnshop.
When the moon was high in the sky, the carriages of the three officials had already stopped outside the Chen Mansion. Seeing the guests coming, Chen Bin immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Chen, you said you bought a batch of rare seafood. I'm really craving it." Mr. Zhuang looked at Chen Bin and smiled.
This person even likes to eat seafood. He eats several large bowls of shrimps and crabs every day, which makes him suffer from gout frequently. It is really miserable, but there is no way. Sometimes he just can't resist the urge to eat seafood.
"I'm also curious. What kind of seafood can make Brother Chen so interested? Logically speaking, with Brother Chen's financial resources, there shouldn't be any seafood that you regard as a treasure." Mr. Li said.
Mr. Sun also nodded to show his agreement.
Chen Bin smiled mysteriously: "Don't talk so much standing outside the door, you will know after you come in and sit down."
Several officials immediately walked into the gate and, led by Official Chen, headed towards the pond in the mansion.
Chen Bin arranged tonight's dinner in the pavilion next to the pond. The scenery here is beautiful, and you can enjoy the food while watching the night view of the pond.
As the guests sat down one by one, the maids that Chen Bin had arranged earlier came over with plates and placed the dishes carefully prepared by the chef on the table.
Outside the pavilion was a crescent-shaped pond. Under the moonlight, a group of strange-looking seafood were swimming on the surface of the pond. These were the ones Chen Bin had bought from Zhao Dali in the morning.
If someone had good eyesight at this moment, they would be able to see that from the moon in the sky, there were strands of light as thin as hair falling from the sky and falling into the pond, where they were fought over by the seafood.
If Huang Ting were to see this, he would surely exclaim that this is "moonlight".
According to ancient books, only those monsters with awakened intelligence can comprehend the cultivation technique of absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
And all the seafood in this entire pond are actually using their cultivation techniques to attract the moonlight from the sky. What an incredible scene.
But the wealthy businessmen in the pavilion were just ordinary people with flesh and blood eyes. They didn't notice what was happening here at all. Instead, their attention was all focused on the dishes brought by the maids in the Chen Mansion.
"Wow! It smells good! It really smells good! I have never smelled such fragrant fish." Mr. Sun held the chopsticks in disbelief, his face full of shock.
