Chapter 350 Prayer
"Our Tianwailou is one of the most famous restaurants in the capital. We can't possibly serve our customers dead seafood and damage our reputation."
"If you give me your seafood, I will let it go. Take your seafood and leave quickly, or don't blame me for being rude."
Shopkeeper Jiang also said, "Take all of these seafood back and turn them into dried goods. Our restaurant won't accept them. Seeing that the other restaurants don't have many, they probably won't accept them either."
Hearing them say this, the Yu family father and son had no choice but to look at Song Hexiu with pleading eyes.
But Song Hexiu just kept looking at the book and didn't even glance at them.
Yu Dacai shouted unwillingly, "Song Hexiu, please speak up for us too."
Sun Xiaohe said, "It's useless for anyone to plead for mercy. The guests of Tianwailou are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Who would be willing to eat dead seafood?"
Upon hearing this, the Yu family father and son could only leave reluctantly.
As soon as they left, the five-member fishing boat team brought back Song Chuman and her siblings and the seafood.
When Manager Jiang and Sun Xiaohe saw Song Chuman and others pushing the seafood back, they strode forward.
Shopkeeper Jiang spotted the most conspicuous giant grouper at a glance and exclaimed in surprise, "Giant grouper! We actually have giant grouper today."
Sun Xiaohe was also very excited. "Giant groupers are very popular among the dignitaries. A small plate can be sold at a high price."
Seeing Song Chuman looking straight at him, Manager Jiang said a little embarrassedly: "Well, Ah Man, you don't know, you haven't been out to sea recently, and I have to apologize to many people every day. I have never laughed so much in my life as in the past half month."
"But now it's all good. I finally didn't let them down."
"Grouper meat is more valuable than other seafood. I believe that customers will quickly calm down after seeing the grouper."
Song Chuman laughed, "Yes, today's seafood is very good."
As she spoke, she pushed the cart to the entrance of the cave.
Suddenly, Sun Xiaohe saw a wooden barrel with only crab claws in it and asked in confusion, "Why are there only crab claws?"
Song Chuman: "This is the claw of a mantou crab. There's not much meat on the crab body, and its claws can grow back after being cut, so I only brought back the claws and threw the crab body back into the sea."
Sun Xiaohe suddenly understood. "So that's how it is. I've heard that some fishermen do this before."
However, some people think that no matter how little crab meat there is, it is still a crab. Even if they encounter a steamed crab, they will bring it back intact.
Shopkeeper Jiang saw the red lobsters and was a little confused: "Hey, is this lobster an Australian lobster?"
Song Chuman said, "Yes, I've seen this species of lobster in a book. It tastes great, and this size is the most suitable for eating."
Shopkeeper Jiang nodded without asking any more questions, "Okay, make your bid."
Song Chuman saved some for herself and began to quote the price, "Aolong are all about the same size, five taels of silver each. If you want steamed buns and crab claws, even if it's three hundred coins per pound, we won't force you."
"The starfish are huge this time, so they're fifty wen each. The octopus is also different in size than before, so I'll take fifty wen per jin. The white-scaled fish is three hundred wen each, the barracuda is three hundred and fifty wen each, and the black tiger shrimp is twenty wen each. As for the two groupers, they're about the same, so I'll take twenty taels each. The yellow crab is a flat price, four taels of silver."
Although white-scaled fish has many bones, it is large in size, and its meat is fragrant and fresh. If we buy it at a high price, it should be able to be sold.
