Chapter 731 Half Price
Soon, onlookers came in one after another.
As soon as we entered, we smelled a fishy odor.
But everyone knows that seafood is fishy, so no one finds it strange.
Seeing wooden barrels filled with water everywhere in the shop, the customers quickly dispersed.
After a while, guests' exclamations could be heard everywhere.
"My God, it seems like all the seafood here is alive."
"This crab is still crawling. If the barrel was shorter, it would have crawled out."
"This peeling fish is still swimming. It looks very energetic."
"The clam is still blowing bubbles. It's really alive."
"Is this an abalone? It's actually still moving."
"Hey, the price is already marked. Small clams are 20 wen per jin. If it's half price, then today it's 10 wen per jin. 10 wen per jin, and the seafood is still alive, it seems like a good deal."
"This tiger prawn is pretty good. It looks big. Thirty cents each. Today it's half price, so fifteen cents each. They're all alive and kicking, so it doesn't seem too expensive."
"Wow, there are also sea cucumbers! I heard that sea cucumbers are ginseng from the sea. There are so many here! The original price is three taels of silver each, but today it's half price, only one and a half taels each. It's really cheap."
"Waiter, what is this green thing?"
The waiters had received information about the seafood that Song Chuman was going to sell a few days ago, so they were not surprised to see kelp.
One person said, "This is kelp, a vegetable from the sea. It can be stewed with pork ribs, mixed with cold dishes, or stir-fried. It tastes delicious no matter how you cook it."
After hearing this, the guests looked at the price of kelp, which was sixteen cents per pound.
But today it is half price, only eight cents per pound, which is not expensive and you can enjoy it for fun.
…
The customers who came in saw the prices and did the calculations themselves, and most of them wanted to buy them.
Those who have money all buy abalone, sea cucumber, big flower shrimp, etc., which are more expensive.
Even those who were short of money would buy some cheap clams, clams or kelp.
Song Chuman and her family sat in the lounge area, watching the checkout process at the counter.
The way she pays the bill here is the old-fashioned way used in China.
Whatever the customer needs, he puts it in a basket and takes it for weighing.
After weighing, you will get a price tag made of bamboo. Just take the price tag to the counter to pay directly.
In order to prevent people from putting some seafood in after weighing, you have to go through another round of weighing when you queue up at the counter. You can only check out after the waiter has checked the quantity.
If someone does not have a container for seafood, they can use the baskets in the store, but a rental fee of ten cents will be charged. They can return them at any time and the rental fee will be refunded.
At this time, more and more people were checking out.
Some people came in to take a look around, then quickly ran out in a hurry. After a while, they came back with some people. They looked like people from wealthy families who came specifically to buy things.
"Give me a hundred abalone."
"I want fifty sea cucumbers."
"I want ten skinned fish."
"I want fifty mantis shrimp."
"I want a hundred blue crabs. My master is having a blue crab feast."
"I want thirty cat's eye snails, thirty abalone, thirty small yellow croakers, and fifty large flower shrimps."
…
Song Hexiu, his eldest daughter and youngest son stared at the situation in the store in amazement.
Song Chuman looked calm.
Although business was good, there were still few customers compared to the rush to buy that she had seen in her previous life.
