Seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, Feng Ye turned around and walked back.
Moreover, another entrance has opened, and many vendors have come in, so he has to go back to guard his stall.
"Brother Ye, is that really oarfish?"
Ah-Can followed behind Feng Ye, asking in disbelief.
Feng Ye nodded: "Judging from its size and characteristics, it is indeed an oarfish."
"Damn, you didn't realize it was such a good thing. We really thought it was a giant ribbonfish!"
"Actually, it's very easy to identify. Just look at the head and dorsal fin. How could a ribbonfish look like that?"
Ah-Can scratched his head: "I've never seen a royal ribbonfish before. I thought it was some other kind of ribbonfish."
Feng Ye chuckled, patted A-Can on the shoulder, and the two walked side by side through the bustling crowd toward the stall.
"In our line of work, you have to be knowledgeable and well-informed, otherwise you won't recognize good things when they're right in front of you, while you can treat junk as treasure."
"Indeed, just like this boss, he's going to lose a lot of money this time."
"Not necessarily. If he could go against his conscience and sell it as a real ribbonfish, perhaps some fools would be fooled and he could make a profit."
"Huh?" Ah-Can's eyes widened. "You mean the boss might be lying on purpose?"
He hasn't experienced the harsh realities of society yet, so he's still relatively innocent.
"Human nature is unpredictable, especially when it comes to profit. Some people will use any means necessary to make a little more money..."
The two talked as they walked, and soon returned to their stall.
At this moment, a group of people gathered in front of the stall, including other vendors and customers, all pointing and discussing the large fish on the stall.
Big fish are eye-catching, and so are the oarfish and the big fish at their stall, especially the incredibly large red octopus.
Although this guy isn't expensive, he's big enough.
This is likely the heaviest octopus ever recorded, both domestically and even globally.
"Make way, make way..."
As soon as the two squeezed into the stall, Feng Xuan's eyes lit up. He said to a man with a mustache, "Wait a minute, Da Zhang Hong's owner is back."
Then, pointing at the man with the mustache, he said urgently, "Ah Ye, you've come back just in time. This customer wants to buy Da Zhang Hong, and he's offering four yuan. I don't know if I should agree to it."
"Four pieces?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye and A-Can exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
No one expected that this unassuming man would be so generous, directly asking for four yuan.
To be honest, this price is quite good and meets their expectations.
But nobody thinks they have too much money. Since the other party asked for four dollars right away, there's still room for negotiation.
Just as he was about to speak, the man with the mustache spoke first.
"Four yuan is not low, it's almost eight... uh, the price of the red octopus is not usually this high, I'm only willing to give it four yuan because of its huge size."
The moment this man opened his mouth, it felt incredibly awkward.
His accent was very strange, with almost no tone variation; it was either the first tone or the fourth tone.
(For specific details, please refer to Guan Gu's speaking accent.)
Feng Ye didn't know whether the others knew or not, but he had already guessed the guy's identity.
This man is a Japanese soldier; that mustache is a classic feature of Japanese soldiers, and many of them have it.
Another thing is that the Japanese called Zhang Hong "Kanpayu".
"Boss, you have a truly discerning eye."
Feng Ye smiled as he looked at the large, fat sheep in front of him. "A normal-sized red croaker wouldn't be priced like this, but this red croaker is too big, so the price can't be based on the usual standards. Four yuan is still a bit low."
The Japanese man frowned: "Sir, what price do you want?"
"Seeing how sincere you are, and that you're a foreign friend, I'll give you six yuan," Feng Ye said casually.
When Ah-Can heard this, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Didn't we agree on a price of 4.5 yuan?
How did it suddenly jump to 6 yuan?
Everyone else was shocked when they heard the price.
For Zhang Hong, 6 yuan is undoubtedly an astronomical price.
Will this sell?
Feng Ye knew, of course, that the price was too high.
As the saying goes, they ask for the moon, but you have to haggle.
If you don't set a higher price, there's less room for negotiation, and then how can you make more money?
If the customer standing in front of him were from China, he wouldn't have quoted such a high price. He would have at most tried to test the waters with a price of 5 yuan, and he would still have to worry that the customer would turn around and leave.
But for the Japanese soldiers, he had no psychological burden at all.
It's important to know that Zhang Hong held a significant position among the Japanese, especially in sashimi cuisine, where she was considered one of the top-tier ingredients.
With such a large seal, the Japanese devils wouldn't give it up easily.
really.
"No, no, no, six yuan is too high, it's not worth the price."
"No, no, no, it's worth it, extremely worth it."
Feng Ye looked at the Japanese soldier and continued, "This seal is so big, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's the biggest in the world, would it?"
The Japanese man swallowed hard: "I wouldn't dare say it's the world's number one, but it is certainly the largest Kanpaku I've ever heard of or seen."
Feng Ye smiled slightly: "Look, such a rare item, after you transport it back, you can promote it well, hype it up, and even have a live fish-cutting ceremony. You'll make a fortune. I'm not saying you'll make more, but hundreds of thousands or even millions is easy."
(In 1990, the exchange rate between RMB and Japanese Yen was approximately 1:100.)
Upon hearing this, the Japanese soldier's eyes flickered, but he quickly concealed it: "No, it's still too expensive..."
