Chapter 124 Donghai is not suitable for him
After Zhang Ze sold the rest of the fish, several motorcycles appeared at the dock.
The first person to arrive was Weiyou’s boss Zhao Xianghua. He was the first one Tong Yuanhang notified, so he arrived the fastest.
"Boss Zhao."
When Zhang Ze heard the noise and came out, he saw Zhao Xianghua and a few others watching at the dock, as if they were looking for something.
When the buyer arrived, he hurried over to greet him.
Zhao Xianghua's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Where are the fish? Take me to see them."
This gesture alone let Zhang Ze know that he attached great importance to this grouper. Obviously, the sturgeon had brought him huge profits before, otherwise he would not be so anxious.
"This way, this way."
Zhang Ze took him on board and went over to open the door of the fish hold.
Zhao Xianghua stood on the deck and looked into the fish hold below. When he saw the huge grouper, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.
This grouper was even bigger than he had imagined. If it were to wander around the street and be placed in front of the restaurant, the noise it would make would be no less than last time.
"Why don't you take the fish out for a walk this time?" Zhao Xianghua was just about to observe the fish's condition from a close distance, but suddenly thought of something, so he turned around and joked.
Looking at the owner of Weiyou Restaurant with a playful look on his face, Zhang Ze smiled bitterly and said, "After selling that fish last time, I went out for a long time. My family was worried sick, so how could I dare to show off like that!"
Zhao Xianghua understood what was going on, laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and then climbed down the small stairs.
He first looked at the fish's eyes and found them clear and bright, indicating that the fish had just died and was still fresh.
But he still opened the gill cover and looked at the fish's gills. They were bright red, and it was obvious that the freshness of the fish was indeed well maintained.
Although his restaurant occasionally purchases some special large fish from fishermen or aquatic stations, most of them are not very fresh, and often the chef's skills are needed to cover up the fishy smell.
However, Zhang Ze was very satisfied with the fish. The sturgeon he got last time was very good, and the grouper this time was even better preserved in freshness.
Just as they were about to talk about the price, Zhao Xianghua noticed a few boxes nearby.
I opened it out of curiosity and unexpectedly saw a box full of tiger prawns. After a quick look, I found that each one was about the same size and very well-proportioned.
Then I opened the other three boxes. I thought they were all tiger prawns, but there was also a box of giant grouper and a box of much smaller seven-band grouper.
"Do we have such a big Stone Jiugong here?" Zhao Xianghua was stunned.
Zhang Ze understood what he meant and asked, "Boss Zhao, you haven't bought it locally before?"
Zhao Xianghua pondered for a moment. The quality of this box of Shi Jiugong seemed very good, so he wanted one too.
The price might be lowered by bluffing, but the thought that Zhang Ze could pull the fish on the street to attract restaurant owners like them showed that this man was smart and must have his own ideas, so it would be difficult to hide it.
Therefore, he finally nodded and told the truth: "This kind of deep sea stone Jiugong is usually purchased from Ningcheng or the neighboring province."
"The port there is big and there are many ships going to the open sea, so it's easy to catch this kind of fish. We basically don't see this kind of rare deep-sea fish at the fishery station in our city."
Zhang Ze understood. Here people basically use fishing nets, and it is indeed difficult to catch deep-sea fish without trawling or longlining.
After looking at the goods, Zhao Xianghua was about to discuss the price when he heard some noise outside, as if many people had come onto the ship.
Zhang Ze estimated that the managers of other restaurants notified by Tong Yuanhang had also arrived, so he invited the boss of Weiyou to go outside first.
When Zhao Xianghua came out and saw some other competitors, he was a little surprised. He thought Zhang Ze had notified him.
But think about it, if only his family is invited over, then Zhang Ze can't be worthy of the word "smart", and it will be difficult to sell the fish at a higher price.
Zhao Xianghua was not unhappy about this. If it were him, he would do the same.
Almost everyone had arrived, and the other restaurant managers had also seen the giant grouper, and they all looked determined to get it.
The starting price of this king grouper was set at two thousand yuan, and it was not offered by Zhang Ze himself. In the end, it was bought by the wealthy Zhao Xianghua for three thousand five hundred yuan.
3,500 yuan would be worth about 350,000 yuan in later times. In fact, this fish would only be worth tens of thousands of yuan in later times. Of course, prices vary from country to country, so it is not easy to make such a direct and rough comparison.
After Zhao Xianghua bought the big fish, he immediately arranged for his employees to move the fish to a tricycle.
There was a large wooden board covering the bed of the tricycle, and the grouper was placed on it, which was very conspicuous.
He arranged for several employees to ride motorcycles in front to clear the way, and several bicycles followed behind to protect the fish to prevent them from being destroyed by anyone with ulterior motives.
He left and returned to the restaurant alone. He had a lot of things to do next. He had to make a lot of phone calls and receive guests in the evening.
As for the remaining boxes of seafood, he did not compete with other restaurants for them.
He has already taken away the biggest benefit. If he continues to snatch it, he might be targeted by several restaurants next time.
Two hundred kilograms of tiger prawns were sold for four hundred yuan. There were thirty-two of them, weighing eighty-one kilograms and seven ounces, priced at one dollar and fifty cents, and sold for one hundred and twenty-two dollars and fifty cents.
There were only six seven-band groupers left, but the largest one weighed over 20 kilograms, and the rest were not small either, so the total weight was just over 100 kilograms.
The fish was sold at four dollars and fifty cents each, so I made more than four hundred dollars in profit.
Together with other catches, Zhang Ze earned 6,800 yuan this time and became rich again.
He put all the money into the small space and sorted it out.
I will save up two thousand and give it to my wife for safekeeping so that she can experience what it’s like to be a rich woman.
He first collected the blue crabs in the traps, then came back to clean the boat and close the door. Then Zhang Ze rode his bike to the department store.
I've been talking about "three turns and one ring" for so long, and this time I bought all of them home.
But before he reached the department store, a very familiar smell wafted from the street.
Looking around, Zhang Ze found a group of people gathered in front of him on the left. Out of curiosity, he rode over to take a look and found out that it was a snack shop.
There were a few big words pasted next to the store door - Afang Five-Spice Crab.
Zhang Ze blinked and moved closer, then he saw a middle-aged woman skillfully frying a pot of hairy crabs with two girls helping her. He almost thought it was his own home.
However, they sell not only hairy crabs, but also swimming crabs and blue crabs.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhang Ze was not surprised at this situation, nor did he feel that others were stealing his business.
The two streets are quite far apart, so the customers basically do not overlap.
Secondly, when he opened the shop, he had already thought that this day would come.
However, he originally thought that the first to imitate would be the vendors who set up small stalls, but he did not expect that the first one would also open a store.
Zhang Ze has never been very interested in selling spiced blue crabs.
And going to the tailor shop to order maternity clothes reminded him that he had always wanted to open a clothing store for the women in his family.
Maybe they can open a small tailor shop first. With his knowledge and experience, the clothes designed will definitely be popular in the market. As long as they are based on the development of domestic fashion trends and not too advanced, it will be fine.
The only problem is that he has trouble explaining where the inspiration for the design comes from, or he might have to go to Nanfang.
Zhang Ze never thought that he would continue to develop in Wenshui City in the future. To put it bluntly, this place is too small and not suitable for his development.
Besides, as a person from Wenshui City, wouldn't it be reasonable for him not to go out and develop? Zhang Ze did not consider the Magic City, which is more suitable for picking up bargains, but planned to go to Nanguan, which is very close to Hong Kong Island.
The South China Sea is rich in coral fish resources and has many species of deep-sea fish, which is the most suitable place for his development.
It is indeed a waste to use magic baits, especially grouper baits, in the East China Sea.
Another thing is that Zhang Ze also wants to see if there is a chance to visit Hong Kong Island.
Tong Shuyao would occasionally tell him about her childhood, and she seemed to miss her grandparents very much.
Although his mother-in-law never said it, he knew that she missed her family very much.
Zhang Ze has learned from her that her family had most likely fled to Hong Kong Island, and secondarily to Taiwan.
If Tong Shuyao's grandparents were still alive, I believe she would be very happy if they could be reunited.
Most importantly, he might have the opportunity to get his first fishing boat in the 1980s.
This is what he, as a fisherman, wants most besides fishing gear.
Looking at the thousands of yuan in the space, Zhang Ze suddenly felt that he had a long way to go.
A small fishing boat costs hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and the RMB is not recognized internationally, so it's not easy to make! Shaking his head, leaving these future matters aside, Zhang Ze rode his bicycle to the department store.
Entering the department store, he first came to the watch counter, took out two watch tickets and said to the salesperson who was chatting and laughing with his colleagues at the counter and ignored him: "Hello, comrade, I want to buy two watches, just these two!"
He looked at the watches on display at the counter and chose one of the diamond and gem flower watches.
When they heard someone was buying two watches, the two female sales clerks who were chatting were both stunned.
Turning around, she saw that it was a young man who was dressed in ordinary clothes but looked very handsome. The female salesperson immediately put on a smile.
When he saw that one of them was a ladies' watch, his expression instantly fell and he was stunned.
He just came to buy a watch, why did he need to use the face-changing service? When did the service quality of the salesperson become so good? After spending two hundred and four, he bought two watches. Zhang Ze directly put on his own watch. Now he finally didn't have to look at the sun.
The other women's watch is naturally for my wife, as for my two younger sisters, they will have to wait for watch tickets.
He could buy second-hand watches at a trust store, but he didn't know anyone who could buy them inside, and the ones they had on display were all unusable and basically couldn't be repaired, so he was too lazy to look.
It's not that Zhang's mother hadn't considered it, but if she bought it, she would probably be scolded. If she had a chance to get a TV ticket in the future, she could buy her a TV and put it in her room. For now, she could just use the radio! Then Zhang Ze went to buy two more radios, spending 65.60 yuan.
He bought a Butterfly brand sewing machine, which is well-known and easy to use. Besides, Shanghai is not far from here and they just happen to supply goods here.
Zhang Ze spent ten cents and asked a cart puller to help deliver the sewing machine to his home, while he followed along on his bicycle.
