Only when they heard Feng Ye's call did the two snap out of their daze and quickly replied, "Okay, okay!"
The Japanese soldier waved his hand and said, "No rush, I want to see the other fish on your stall."
"Of course you can."
Feng Ye's smile widened: "Tell me which one you like, and I'll give you a discount."
The Japanese soldier squinted at the various large fish on the stall: "What's the price of tuna?"
"These were all caught yesterday, less than 15 hours after being taken out of the water. They're very fresh. As for the price, it depends on which one you want."
Feng Ye pointed to a row of neatly arranged tuna. They varied in size and fatness, but each one looked so tempting.
"You're an expert, you should know that the price of tuna is related to the quality of the meat; the fatter the tuna, the higher the price."
"Take this bluefin tuna for example. Although it doesn't look particularly big, it's very plump and is a top choice for making sashimi. I won't sell it for less than 22 yuan per piece."
"And this yellowfin..."
What if I want them all?
The Japanese soldier interrupted Feng Ye.
"You want them all?"
Feng Ye was slightly taken aback, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
Such customers are rare finds, like "big fat sheep".
He quickly calculated in his mind how to maximize profits while maintaining that seemingly casual composure.
Xiao Zhaojun and his men were also shocked by the Japanese army's extravagant spending.
But then came great joy.
Their goods were actually on the same stall as Feng Ye and A-Can's goods, which meant that their tuna could be sold together, right?
Moreover, it looks like it can fetch a high price.
"Yes, that's all of them," the Japanese soldier said confidently.
"If you want them all, I'll naturally give you the best price."
Feng Ye paused for a moment, then continued, "As you know, good things don't come cheap, especially these tuna, each one is a premium product."
"In that case, I won't haggle with you item by item anymore, let's just offer a fixed price for the whole package."
"Regardless of whether they're fat or lean, bluefin tuna is 17 yuan per jin, bigeye tuna is 12 yuan, and yellowfin tuna is 8 yuan. Isn't that a pretty good deal?"
The Japanese man pondered for a moment: "These three bluefins are all good, and the price of 17 yuan is reasonable, but the big-eyed and yellowfins are too expensive. I can only offer 10 yuan and 7 yuan respectively."
"make a deal."
Feng Ye didn't waste any time with him and immediately made a decision.
Some big-eyed and yellowfin bream do fetch higher prices, but others are lower, and on average, they're about the same.
This isn't that big red clown, which can command a high price just because of its size.
The tuna they caught weren't particularly large; the largest one they caught was a bigeye tuna, which weighed only about 300 pounds.
So all we can say is about the quality of the meat.
However, when it comes to meat quality, unless you have it tested, judging it by sight alone is still very subjective.
Therefore, he didn't dare to ask for an exorbitant price.
Moreover, the Japanese are shrewd; they're not stupid.
After both sides reached an agreement, the atmosphere immediately became relaxed, and everyone was happy.
Next, the Japanese man ordered some other fish suitable for cooking, all at reasonable prices.
Feng Ye and A-Can only caught eighteen large fish of various sizes, and the Japanese took 10 of them.
Aside from the large red octopus, there was one bluefin octopus, one bigeye octopus, two yellowfin octopuses, one red octopus weighing over 30 pounds, and four other fish.
The rest were fish like mahi-mahi, sea barracuda, and blue shark, which didn't have much room for negotiation and the Japanese didn't want them.
Afterwards, amidst a wave of envy, Feng Xuan and A Can were left to continue guarding the stall.
The others used carts to pull the fish the Japanese wanted to the transaction point to queue up and wait to be weighed.
The transaction point is located next to the entrance and exit of the goods.
Whether entering or leaving the site, goods always go through this entrance and exit.
There weren't many vendors yet, and the market wasn't bustling enough to reach its peak. There were only a handful of people queuing in front of the transaction points.
Before long, it was Feng Ye and his group's turn.
Feng Ye's 10 big fish were weighed first.
The first one to be mentioned is Da Zhang Hong.
It's really big, weighing an astonishing 236 pounds, which shocked many people.
Another smaller red arowana weighs 36 jin (approximately 18 catties) and costs 2.5 yuan.
It was 40 cents more expensive than Feng Jiafa's purchase price.
A gross profit margin of around 20% is normal; they need to make money too.
Especially with seafood, the losses are quite significant.
Then the tuna was weighed.
The bluefin tuna was a bit unexpected; I thought it would only weigh a little over 150 pounds, but it weighed 168 pounds.
Big Eye weighs only 121 jin (66.5 catties), and the two yellowfins together weigh only 187 jin (93.5 catties).
The other four fish were relatively small, weighing only 125 jin (62.5 catties) in total, with an average price of 2.8 yuan.
After weighing, the money is calculated on the spot.
Large red octopus is 1298 pieces, small red octopus is 90 pieces, bluefin is 2856 pieces, bigeye is 1210 pieces, yellowfin is 1309 pieces, and the others are 350 pieces.
In total, it amounts to 7113 yuan.
In addition to the sardines I sold yesterday for 3646.65 yuan, I made a total of 1.65 yuan. There are still eight fish left that I can sell for some money.
I made over ten thousand in one day; I really made a killing yesterday.
But it's really tiring.
His arm is still incredibly sore and is starting to feel stiff.
This is because excessive exercise leads to the production and accumulation of large amounts of lactic acid, causing muscle soreness and stiffness.
