The fish were packaged and loaded onto the truck. This was the second time that Lin Long and Lin Hu went to the restaurant to sell fish, so Zhang Ze had to follow them.
Moreover, he had to deal with the hammerhead shark himself, and he was also curious about how much the hammerhead shark could be sold for.
The truck was big enough to hold a lot of the remaining catch, but it still only took up two-thirds of the space.
The truck's passenger seat could seat two people, so the three of them went directly to the restaurant.
By the time they arrived at the main street in front of the restaurant in the city, it was just lunchtime.
The restaurant seems to be quite busy, with people everywhere.
Zhang Ze got out of the car and walked to the door, and was surprised to find a huge grouper on display in the center of the hall.
However, this giant grouper seemed to be smaller than the one he sold before, so it was considered very large.
After standing at the door and listening for a while, Zhang Ze finally understood what the restaurant was doing.
It turned out that they were organizing an event called Grouper Banquet. In the future, the restaurant would launch banquets featuring various large fish. After the customers won the bids, the restaurant would then carefully prepare a complete set of banquet arrangements for the customers.
For example, you can participate in the auction when you are entertaining guests for a meal to discuss business, or when you are hosting a wedding banquet, etc.
Today is the first time that the restaurant has launched this new activity, so the restaurant owner decided to give back to old customers by letting everyone try this so-called dragon grouper banquet for free.
Of course, there is a prerequisite, which is that you must hold a membership card issued by the restaurant to participate.
If ordinary customers eat at the restaurant at noon, they can get a small bowl of grouper soup.
Zhang Ze was shocked when he heard this. The way this restaurant owner organized activities didn't seem like people of this era! After the restaurant manager invited the restaurant owner out, he saw the familiar figure and his mouth twitched.
He never expected that the person who came out was Zhao Xianghua, the owner of Weiyou in Wenshui City, which made him feel a little unbelievable.
Of course, after Zhao Xianghua came to the stage and said a few words, he unexpectedly saw Zhang Ze who was watching the fun at the door.
He was stunned at first, then he smiled meaningfully, "Brother Hua, I really didn't expect you to be the owner of this Xinhai Restaurant." In the office on the top floor of the restaurant, Zhang Ze said after sitting on the sofa and taking a sip of tea.
Zhao Xianghua smiled when he heard this: "It is indeed a bit of a coincidence."
"But you are willing to leave Wenshui City and come to Nanguan to develop, so how could I fall behind you?"
"If I hadn't happened to see you selling fish in this restaurant when I was inspecting the market here, I would have opened a new Weiyou Restaurant instead of buying this one outright."
Zhang Ze was very surprised when he heard this: "You bought this restaurant just because I came here to sell fish?"
Zhao Xianghua nodded affirmatively: "It is partly because of you. The suggestions you gave me before helped me develop the restaurant in Wenshui City quite well."
"But after you left, I rarely received any special fish. Secondly, the fish I received were not as fresh as the ones you sent, so our development reached a bottleneck."
"I thought about what you said about coming to Nanfang to develop, so I also want to come here to show my skills."
"I bought this restaurant partly because of your fish, and I also wanted to get some new ideas about business from you. Secondly, the business here is pretty good, and I can directly transition my initial accumulation."
Zhang Ze suddenly realized, then smiled bitterly. What a guy, he is now being remembered by a man.
But he didn't mind it, and was even a little happy about it.
Of course, he has a normal orientation. He is happy because Zhao Xianghua is generous enough to pay him. If he has good goods in the future, he will not have to worry about the price.
"Aze, you also saw my event today, what do you think?"
Zhang Ze nodded and said affirmatively: "It's pretty good. It mainly attracts people with big fish. After the bosses auction the fish, they can enjoy a fish feast with comfortable service and good taste, and they can also save face in front of their friends."
"The downside is that these particularly large fish are somewhat hard to come by, so it may be difficult for your restaurant to purchase them."
"There are quite a few larger tunas. You might be able to start with those."
"But the texture and taste of tuna meat when it's cooked is somewhat different from that of many other fish. To be honest, I don't know if your chef has done any research on this. If he hasn't done any research, it's easy to ruin your reputation."
"Tuna." Zhao Xianghua nodded thoughtfully, then said, "I did hire a master from somewhere else at a high price."
"But I'm not sure how well he makes the tuna feast. I guess I need to get some tuna for the master to study."
Zhang Ze nodded: "You can actually just study bluefin tuna. This type of tuna has a high fat content and tastes great raw or marinated. It can also be used as a filling for dumplings with beef, etc."
"The bluefin tuna banquet is good, but the other tunas are all pretty much the same."
"But because of the quality of the fish, you can let the master's disciples serve the other tunas."
"Of course, I think your store mainly sells giant groupers and deep-sea groupers. If you don't have these types of fish, you can bring out other big fish."
The more Zhao Xianghua listened, the brighter his eyes became. This way, the activities he arranged now had a main line, and the restaurant would have its own real signature.
Sure enough, he found that his previous willful behavior was not wrong, and it was worth it to buy the restaurant from others at a high price.
At least the label of being a sucker will soon be removed from him. After all, his act of buying the restaurant at a high price has made him the target of a lot of ridicule from his friends.
"As expected of you, Aze, you have so many ideas. So, I'll rely on you regarding the fish." Zhao Xianghua sat next to Zhang Ze and patted him on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Zhang Ze was a little confused. Rely on him? Even if he used a cheat, it was impossible for him to encounter big fish often. How could he afford the consumption of a restaurant?
If Zhao Xianghua wants to make the fish banquet the signature dish of his restaurant, he still needs to cooperate with places like the fishery station.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. But if you have any good stuff, please think of me. We've worked together before and we're from the same hometown. You can't let others get away with it."
"As you know, I am very generous when it comes to money."
"Also, leave me your phone number. I think you know a lot about these big fish in the sea, and you also know some cooking methods for them."
"When I start researching the tuna feast, you have to come over and give me some suggestions."
Zhang Ze waved his hand immediately after hearing this: "I don't have any opinions. How to research is the chef's job. I won't teach him how to do it."
"Just think of it as coming here for a meal!"
In the end, the phone number was naturally given, but Zhang Ze often went out to sea, so he might not be able to meet him every time.
Zhao Xianghua is not worried about not being able to catch bluefin tuna. There are already fleets and companies in China that specialize in tuna fishing, but the number is small and the scale is small.
Secondly, distant-water fishing vessels also often catch it, but they rarely sell it to the mainland and basically export it.
But even if the amount sold to the mainland is less, it is still more than enough to supply a restaurant.
Just when the two finished their conversation and were about to go for lunch, the restaurant manager suddenly ran over with sweat all over his forehead.
"Boss, someone got poisoned after eating grouper"
The manager can handle most minor matters in a restaurant directly, but when a major incident like this occurs, the boss must step in.
When Zhang Ze, who was standing next to him, heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was that it was ciguatera.
Eating grouper can be poisonous, and he couldn't think of anything other than ciguatera, unless the person was allergic to seafood.
Then he went downstairs and when he saw the obvious red spots on the poisoned customer's body, Zhang Ze actually breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought he had been poisoned by ciguatera and was worried! If it was ciguatera, it would be a big problem. If customers knew that eating grouper viscera, fish heads and other parts could easily lead to poisoning, the restaurant's future business would be in jeopardy.
Zhao Xianghua is his major financial sponsor, and Zhang Ze doesn't want anything to happen to the restaurant he runs.
The problem of allergies is much smaller. It is the other person's own business, not the fish's problem.
Zhao Xianghua was familiar with handling these matters, and it was easy to solve by just paying some money.
We had a simple meal in the restaurant at noon, and Zhao Xianghua treated us.
As long as the hammerhead shark is handled well, it can be made into a delicious fish feast, so the price is not low, it was sold for eight hundred yuan.
That is Zhao Xianghua. If it was still the previous boss, this fish would be worth at most five hundred.
Secondly, all the red-billed sturgeons were also sold. The value of this thing is so much higher, especially the one that weighed more than 30 kilograms, which used the growth function to reach more than 40 kilograms. This one alone sold for 1,000 yuan, and the rest of the red-billed sturgeons sold for only 1,500 yuan in total.
Including other fish catches, this one netted him 5,600 yuan.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Now that the family has everything they need, Zhang Ze plans to save money and then buy a house and land.
However, ciguatera poison also made him very concerned.
He hadn't noticed this problem before, but now he suddenly thought of ciguatera and it gave him a headache.
According to statistics, since the 1980s, about 50,000 people around the world have been infected with ciguatera poisoning every year, especially those in tropical regions.
Every year, many people in the coastal areas south of Fujian Province are poisoned by ciguatera.
Nanning-Guangdong is also a high-risk area because there are many tropical algae and toxic algae here.
Unlike the sea area near Wenshui City, due to the temperature, the seaweed is not as rich and diverse as that in the south, and there are also fewer poisonous algae.
The red tides that appear in Wenshui City are often not even harmful, but in the southern places, once the red tide appears, the sea is littered with corpses.
Countless corpses of marine creatures will be washed ashore by the waves and piled up densely.
Of course, Zhang Ze had never seen these before.
What worries him now is that if the grouper or other coral fish sold to Zhao Xianghua in the future contains ciguatera poison, and customers are poisoned in the store after eating them, he probably will not be able to escape joint liability.
After all, the fish are not sold directly to the aquatic station, so he has nothing to do with what happens after the fish are sold.
Not many people in China know about ciguatera poisoning at present. Even it is a question whether ordinary medical staff know about it. The most they can do is detect a food poisoning.
So even if something goes wrong, it may not be blamed on Zhang Ze.
He was upset, simply because he felt that he would feel guilty if he continued selling.
But after being annoyed for a long time and being sent home all the time, Zhang Ze felt that there was no point in continuing to be annoyed.
It was impossible for him not to go out to sea and sell fish, so he simply threw the matter aside.
Anyway, small fish will generally be fine. Even if they are poisoned by ciguatera, it is not serious and at most they will vomit.
If it is a big fish, he can just dive and take a look at the underwater environment after catching it.
Zhang Ze has seen the poisonous algae that produce ciguatera toxin. If there is no poisonous algae in the environment where the big fish is, there will basically be no problem.
Therefore, Zhang Ze needs to buy a set of diving equipment.
Zhang Ze had tried free diving in his previous life, so he was not unfamiliar with diving.
However, he needs to prepare a few oxygen cylinders this time. Checking the environment is not free diving and hunting. How can he stay underwater for a long time without oxygen cylinders?
There is no place to buy diving equipment openly. Zhang Ze is not in any circle and doesn't know where to buy it.
I simply contacted Lu Wenbin and got a way through him.
When the cousin learned that Zhang Ze wanted to try diving, he immediately became interested and got one as well, saying that they would go diving together in the future if they had the chance.
He naturally welcomed this. Lu Wenbin was very busy, and the number of times he could go out to sea with him was definitely not many. It was nice to go out to sea together occasionally, and he could also bring his family along.
After getting the diving suit, Zhang Ze thought about it and went to the shipyard to buy a small boat, mainly for trolling fishing.
Compared to fishing for big fish on a boat, trolling on a small boat is actually much easier.
Cheating with the winch was a good idea, but he didn't go out to sea alone all the time.
When there are other fishing boats and people nearby, you can use trolling when the fish finder detects a big fish.
Only one day later, the diving suit and various diving equipment were delivered to our home.
The small boat was in stock and was taken away directly by Lin Hu's truck. Zhang Ze also followed it back to the fishing village, ready to go out to sea again.
Mid-Autumn Festival is in five days, and he plans to take his family to some fun places nearby. These days, there is no need to worry about traffic jams during Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.
I haven’t driven the new car much since I bought it, so I’ll give it a good use this time.
After lunch, Zhang Ze came to Jin Sanbao's house, but he didn't expect that Jin Sanbao was at home and didn't go out to sea.
According to their habit, they should set off in the morning.
"Aze, are you going out to sea?" When Jin Sanbao saw him coming, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Zhang Ze looked at him suspiciously: "Why do I feel like you were waiting for me to come over?"
Jin Sanbao chuckled and said, "I was just waiting for you. Going out to sea with you brings a lot of gains. This morning, I met Lin Hu driving to the city, and I asked him a question. After knowing that you were coming over in the afternoon, Jin Fan and the others decided to go out to sea with you."
Zhang Ze laughed: "So I just have a fish finder?"
"Hey, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back!"
"It seems you haven't treated me to a meal yet."
"We'll be together then."
“.”
Zhang Ze was speechless at his shamelessness, but he was not disgusted by it either.
Lin Hu has brought the small tugboat to the Duoyu. The crane of the Duoyu can easily lift the small tugboat, so it is very convenient to use.
With a small tugboat, he would definitely use it when he goes out to sea, so it doesn't matter if Jin Sanbao and others follow him. (End of this chapter)
