Why didn’t I think of it? Pure natural, pollution-free seafood, wouldn’t I get rich if I just take it back?
Yellow croaker, bluefin tuna, yellow croaker, geoduck, abalone… just thinking about it makes my mouth water. We don’t want cheap food, we only want expensive food.
Tang Qingxi rushed into the lounge and printed out pictures of various seafood and handed them to the mermaid.
She would buy any seafood listed in the booklet. One fish cost one coin, and one pound of abalone, shrimp, crab, etc. cost one coin. One coin could be used as a shark pearl.
The mermaid took the booklet and looked at it for a while, then pointed at the picture and said in confusion, "Shopkeeper, isn't this a Buddha's hand snail? Why do you call it a gooseneck barnacle? And you're buying this thing? It looks really ugly."
Gooseneck barnacle is a foreign term, and in China it is called Buddha's hand snail. Buddha's hand snail has very high requirements for water quality. Due to environmental pollution, Buddha's hand snail has disappeared from China in modern times.
Facing the mermaid's indescribable gaze, Tang Qingxi twitched her lips. What could she say? She reluctantly said to the mermaid, "This is an imported word. Don't look at it because it looks ugly, it can't stop it from being delicious." Tang Qingxi added in her heart, "The key point is that it is expensive."
The mermaid grumbled to herself, "It's so ugly, but I won't eat it even though it tastes good." She pointed at the crab and said, "You're still buying this meatless crab? Usually, my kids at home catch them for fun."
"Yes, we will accept anything that's on the list." Tang Qingxi said affirmatively.
After getting confirmation, the mermaid headed straight for the sea.
Tang Qingxi had underestimated the allure of the supermarket; within three days, the shark beads that the families had stored up were almost all gone. Since shark beads were rarely used, the families didn't stockpile them.
"Hey, how many mermaid pearls do you have at home?" someone asked.
"Don't mention it, it's gone. I used silk to pay for the bill today, but unfortunately I don't have much silk at home."
"It's the same at my house. I want to buy a set of china but haven't done so yet."
"I heard some people were trading fish for supermarket goods."
"Don't get me wrong, the supermarket has posted a notice saying you can exchange seafood for goods."
"Really? Go check it out."
At the supermarket entrance,
Tang Qingxi handed out brochures to the mermaids who came to the supermarket. The brochures contained pictures of seafood. He explained that those without mermaid pearls could trade their seafood for coins, which they could then use to shop at the supermarket.
"Is it okay as long as it's in this booklet?" someone asked Tang Qingxi.
"It's all right. You can also let your little mermaid pick up abalone and crabs. You can pick up quite a lot in a day." This is the mermaid who has tasted the sweetness.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I still have a lot of things I want to buy."
The clever mermaid has already taken tools and headed for the sea. This time the fish and shrimp in the East China Sea are in trouble.
After a while, a mermaid who had caught fish came to exchange coins.
These mermaids worked together to lift a yellow croaker, weighing several hundred kilograms! Wild yellow croaker is hard to find on Earth, let alone several hundred kilograms. Not to mention the meat, the maw is a top-grade nutritious tonic, costing over a hundred thousand yuan per kilogram.
Before Tang Qingxi could finish his excitement, as the first merman exchanged coins, all the fishermen and mermen came rushing over.
This is a tuna, this is a yellow croaker, and this is... After a while, Tang Qingxi had no time to identify what the fish were. He was busy giving coins to the mermaids. Ye Qingyi and Niu Dawu took turns putting the fish into the fish tank.
