It’s just about buying a fish, why is it so complicated?
Li Cheng originally thought that as long as he offered a higher price, the fish would be his.
Now look, it seems that is not the case!
The man with the mustache took a few steps forward, then squatted in front of the fish and said, "Old Zhao, five yuan a pound isn't too much, is it?"
Old Zhao's beard trembled twice, and he squeezed out the words "Not a few" from his mouth.
"How many kilograms does this fish weigh? I think it's only about four or five kilograms. Let's say five kilograms. I'll take the loss..."
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng almost kicked him into the sea.
Even people like Li Cheng could see that the fish weighed at least ten kilograms, but this guy with a mustache actually wanted Lao Zhao to sell it to him at five kilograms. This was too much.
Do you think all those scales around here are just for show? Is it the fishmonger who doesn't have a scale, or is it Old Zhao who doesn't have one? Li Cheng thought angrily.
In fact, this is the usual practice of this fish tycoon. They have the final say on the price of the seafood landed every day. The seafood they like cannot be priced too high, and they will also cut your price on the weight.
After hearing what Little Moustache said, Old Zhao couldn't help himself. He wanted to get angry, but he knew who Little Moustache was. If he offended him, no one would dare to buy his seafood in the future.
For a moment, Lao Zhao even wanted to throw the big yellow croaker back into the sea.
He put his hand on the big fish, and seemed to be stroking this big fish with some reluctance.
The man with a mustache seemed to know what he was thinking and also put his hand on the big fish.
Li Cheng saw everything clearly from the side and he could no longer bear it. He felt that this little mustache man was going too far.
The fisherman risked his life to go out to sea and finally caught a valuable fish, but you actually want to blackmail him.
Thinking about this, Li Cheng also squatted down, patted the big fish with his hand and said, "What a pity, such a good fish."
The mustache guy didn't understand what he meant, so he turned to look at him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Cheng suddenly pointed to the sea and shouted, "Look, seagulls!"
The mustache-faced man subconsciously looked over there, and Li Cheng took the opportunity to pick up the big fish and swung it hard...
The fish was indeed too big. Li Cheng originally wanted to throw it into the sea, but it fell onto the fishing boat halfway.
Li Cheng's action instantly stunned everyone.
The man with the mustache already knew that he had been tricked by Li Cheng. He stood up and looked at Li Cheng fiercely, asking, "What are you doing?"
Li Cheng himself was a little confused. He looked at the big fish on the fishing boat, then looked at the man with the mustache, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's God's will!"
Originally, he wanted to throw the big fish back into the sea and at most compensate Lao Zhao with some money. Lao Zhao fished for money, but Xiao Huzi was forcing him to buy and sell. Li Cheng would rather throw the fish back into the sea than indulge Xiao Huzi.
But unexpectedly, the big fish landed on Lao Zhao's fishing boat. Then, the fish should be his.
The mustache man got angry and shouted, "What do you mean by God's will? You're just looking for trouble."
If it weren't for Li Cheng's extraordinary demeanor, the man with the mustache would have kicked him into the sea long ago.
Li Cheng just looks too young. If he looked older, the man with a mustache would have thought twice, wondering if this man was a leader from somewhere.
Li Cheng pointed at the big fish and said, "Look, the big fish has returned to the fishing boat. We can't interfere with it, right?"
According to the customs of local fishermen, people on the shore are not allowed to ask about the fish left on the fishing boats.
Li Cheng didn't know how or when this custom came about, he just heard about it once when he came here before.
The mustache man got angry and shouted, "Didn't you throw this fish into the boat?"
Li Cheng laughed and said, "Did you see me throw it? It was clearly the fish that fluttered around on its own and swam back."
The man with the mustache was certain that Li Cheng was looking for trouble. He said viciously, "This is a dead fish. How can a dead fish flutter..."
Li Cheng still had a grin on his face and said, "Dead fish? Are you sure it's a dead fish? You obviously scared it when you touched it."
The mustache guy was completely furious, but he didn't take action immediately.
The reason he didn't take action was that his men had not arrived yet. Another reason was that Li Cheng was taller than him and had more aura than him, so his chances of winning were slim if he took action at this time.
The man with the mustache glared at Li Cheng, then pointed at Lao Zhao and said, "Bring the fish up."
Old Zhao really didn't want to give him the fish. After Li Cheng threw the fish back into the boat, he thought that now that the big fish was back on the boat, no one would ask about it anymore.
But the man with a mustache asked him to take the fish up, and Lao Zhao really got angry.
The big fish is on your boat, and you have the final say on whether to sell it or not. If you ask me to give you the fish, will I give it to you?
Sailing or walking is as dangerous as walking, so we must follow the customs that have been passed down for hundreds of years.
What if I break the rules today and things don’t go smoothly at sea in the future?
Old Zhao glanced at the man with the mustache, then stepped on the long wooden board between the fishing boat and the dock, and walked back to the fishing boat.
The man with the little mustache thought he was going to get the fish, but after waiting for a while, he saw that Lao Zhao had already started carrying water to wash the deck, and the man with the little mustache became annoyed.
He pointed at Lao Zhao and started cursing...
Li Cheng heard his ugly scolding and walked towards Ai Yi with disgust on his face...
Ai Yi had already seen what was happening here, and also saw Li Cheng throwing the big fish back into the boat.
She knew that Li Cheng must have a reason for doing this. When Li Cheng approached, Ai Yi said, "That man is so fierce!"
Li Cheng laughed and said, "We can't eat the big fish anymore, so why don't we sell something else?"
Ai Yi nodded, and the two were about to go to another stall when they heard a "pop" sound from Lao Zhao's stall.
The two turned around and saw that the box Lao Zhao used to store the fish had been kicked away by the man with the mustache...
There were some small fish in the box, which also flew up at this time and finally fell into the sea...
Smash the stall!
Li Cheng couldn't bear it any longer, so he turned around and walked towards the mustache man...
After the man with a small mustache kicked Lao Zhao's box away, he saw that Lao Zhao still ignored him. Just as he was about to get on the boat, he saw Li Cheng coming over.
Li Cheng asked, "Why did you kick his stall?"
The mustache man had been fuming for a long time. Seeing Li Cheng coming back, he pointed at Li Cheng's face and said, "Mind your own business, we'll settle your score later."
Li Cheng reached out and grabbed the mustache man's fingers, then said, "No need to wait until later, let's do it now."
After saying that, Li Cheng twisted those two fingers hard, and the mustache man screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
The mustache man's screams attracted several people.
These people had just collected the entrance fees from the trucks and the stall fees from the dozen or so stalls over there when they heard the screams of the man with the mustache.
These people were a little bit unbelievable that someone dared to beat their boss here.
