As soon as Ah-chan came back, he started making a fuss.
Xiao Zhaojun shook his head: "You can't say that. People are doing this to make money, otherwise they could sell it at a higher price."
"Besides, our quantity is too large. Not only is there no room to store it, but with such high temperatures, there's no way to keep it fresh, right?"
"Indeed, the quantity of sardines we caught this time is enormous, and transportation and preservation are major challenges."
Feng Ye nodded and agreed.
Xiao Zhaojun asked, "Have you found out the prices of fish like bluefin, yellowfin, and amberjack?"
"There are no fixed prices for big fish, especially tuna, which needs to be negotiated. However, I found out the bottom price: bluefin is 12 yuan, yellowfin is 5 yuan, and bigeye is 8 yuan..."
Feng Ye recounted the prices he had found out: "They're all pretty good, much more expensive than selling to dealers."
"It's really good."
Everyone was excitedly rubbing their hands together, discussing how much to ask for each big fish.
Xiao Zhaojun, Feng Xuan, Xiao Guowen, and Xiao Guowu huddled together, discussing the price of the fish.
Xiao Yunjiang and another boatman whose name is unknown also offered their opinions from time to time.
Feng Ye and A-Can did not participate; they were discussing it amongst themselves.
"Brother Ye, the starting price for a single piece of Zhang Hong is only 2.4 yuan. How much are you asking for this extra-large Zhang Hong?"
Ah-Can pointed to the large red clown weighing over 200 pounds and asked.
Feng Ye thought for a moment and said, "Let's set the price at 4.5 yuan."
"Isn't it too high? It's almost doubled."
"Not high, not high at all. We have to give them a chance to bargain, right?"
"What's the bottom line? What's the lowest price?"
"Let's set it at 3.5 yuan," Feng Ye replied after a moment's thought. "However, we can't give in too easily; we have to stick to a price of 4 yuan or higher."
"I know."
Subsequently, they determined the asking price and bottom line price for other large fish.
The bluefin tuna was so round that the meat must have been quite good; I ordered it for 18 yuan and 14 yuan.
There's no room for negotiation on the price of the Ghost Head Knife; it's only 1.85 yuan.
