After thinking for a moment, Feng Ye decided it would be better to sell the goods to Boss Yao.
Although everyone's prices are similar and it doesn't matter who you sell to, we have worked with Boss Yao before and have a foundation of trust.
"Practice makes perfect. These goods are for Boss Yao. If there are too many goods and you can't handle them all by yourself, then find someone to share the burden. Anyway, I only do business with you."
Upon hearing this, Boss Yao beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good..."
The other fishmongers, though disappointed that business had stopped, did not leave, still hoping to get a share of the profits from Boss Yao.
"By the way, you need to call a few people to help. How long will it take for the few of us to finish?"
"No problem, you guys start unloading, I'll go find someone right away and bring the scale over too."
After finishing his sentence, Boss Yao turned and left in a hurry.
Feng Ye also shouted, instructing the boatmen to start unloading the cargo.
The cargo on this deck belongs to the Dong Sheng and Feng Shou ships; it needs to be distinguished and not mixed up.
Not long after, Boss Yao returned in a hurry with the scale and more than a dozen helpers.
I don't know where he found so many people at this hour.
As soon as these people arrived, they joined the unloading team without being told what to do.
However, Feng Ye did not let them board the ship, but only received them below the ship, because he was afraid that these people were not familiar with the area and might mess up the cargo on both ships.
Basket after basket of goods were carried ashore and then weighed...
Everyone worked in an orderly manner, and the fishy smell of seafood filled the air.
More than an hour had passed by the time the Harvest was unloaded and weighed.
After all, it takes a while to process a shipment of more than ten tons of goods.
This high efficiency is only possible when there are enough people available.
Feng Ye checked the time and said to A-Can and the others, "Now, take the goods to the market to sell. A-Can will take three people to sell the goods, and the rest of you will continue to unload the remaining goods here."
Without hesitation, Ah-Can nodded in agreement. After the goods were unloaded from the boat and loaded onto the tractor, he, Ye Chenliang, and two boatmen headed to the market.
Meanwhile, Luo Zhiping and two other crew members who remained on the ship continued to unload the cargo of the Dongsheng with great enthusiasm.
Feng Ye stood beside the scale, supervising the weighing and verifying the weight and type of each basket of goods.
With four fewer people, the unloading speed slowed down significantly, and it took about half an hour longer to unload and weigh all the cargo from the Dongsheng.
The fore and aft decks of the Donglai were finally empty.
Next up is the cargo in the Donglai's fish hold.
Feng Ye told the boatmen to unload the boat first, but he said to Boss Yao, "I have another big one. I wonder if you'd like to take it?"
Boss Yao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What big stuff? As long as the goods are good, I'll definitely buy them!"
"I think it's a good product, but I don't know what you think."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "I'll take you to see it. It's placed against the wall on the aft deck."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Boss Yao climbed onto the ship and followed Feng Ye to the aft deck.
When he saw the sawfish's enormous body, his eyes widened in astonishment.
"What a huge fish! What kind of fish is this? It looks like a shark, but why does it have a saw-like thing on its mouth?"
Feng Ye explained, "This is a sawfish. It does look a bit like a shark, but it's only similar in appearance; it's not a shark. That long, saw-like thing is actually its upper jaw, and it's because of this unique upper jaw that it's called a sawfish."
"Sawfish? Never heard of it."
Mr. Yao shook his head and asked with some uncertainty, "So, this is a kind of ray?"
"Um."
Feng Ye nodded, "It can also be considered a type of manta ray."
"Haha, no wonder it looks a bit like a manta ray, like a combination of a shark and a manta ray."
Mr. Yao circled the sawfish a few times, examining it closely, a hint of excitement in his eyes: "This sawfish is truly a rare find. I've been a fishmonger for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen one. How much are you planning to sell it for?"
Feng Ye was secretly delighted, but pretended to be calm and said, "This sawfish is indeed rare, and I dare not set a price arbitrarily. Name your price, and if I think it's reasonable, we'll make a deal. If not, we can discuss it further."
"To be honest, I only bought this fish because it was big and looked strange, hoping to try my luck. But I've never seen one before, so I'm not sure if I'll be stuck with it."
After a moment's thought, Mr. Yao held up three fingers. "How about a fixed price of three hundred yuan?"
Feng Ye didn't haggle with him and nodded in agreement: "Okay, three hundred yuan it is, deal."
He didn't expect to sell it for a high price; he was just glad if someone would buy it.
After all, sawfish are extremely rare, few people have seen them, and market demand is unclear.
Moreover, it saved him some trouble.
Mr. Yao didn't expect him to be so decisive and immediately realized that he had overpaid.
But the words were already out, and there was no going back. He could only bite the bullet and laugh it off, saying, "Okay, it's settled then."
The two then returned to the dock to continue weighing the sawfish. As for the sawfish, they decided to leave it for later and move it later.
By the time Donglai's goods were sold out, the accounts were settled, and the money was received, it was already broad daylight, around six o'clock in the morning.
Ah-Can and his three friends had sold all their goods and returned from the market.
"I brought you breakfast, please have some. You must be hungry after a long night."
As he spoke, Ah-Can distributed the steamed buns he was carrying to everyone.
Feng Ye took the steamed bun, found a dry spot, and plopped down on the deck. While eating, he said, "Damn, I didn't sleep all night. I'm really exhausted. I feel like my feet aren't on the ground, like I'm floating."
He was sailing the boat in the middle of the night and selling goods in the second half; he really didn't get any sleep.
"Brother Ye, I think you're not tired, you're just weak, aren't you?"
Ah-Can said with a grin, "Look at me, I didn't sleep all night either, but I'm not like you."
"Get lost, what do you know, you virgin?"
Feng Ye rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Hahaha……"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Ah-Can, however, remained calm and composed: "So what if I'm a virgin? At least I'm full of energy and not weak at all, unlike you who's exhausted like a dog. You really need to replenish your energy."
As she spoke, she deliberately winked at Feng Ye.
Everyone laughed even harder, and the laughter dispelled much of their fatigue and drowsiness.
"Damn it, you're such a smooth talker."
Feng Ye laughed and scolded, picking up a steamed bun to throw at him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to waste food and stuffed it into his own mouth.
