Yellow croaker, this is not the yellow croaker in the second-hand market, this is a real high-priced fish.
Yu Shengnan has been catching up on his knowledge of seafood these days, and his video search history still contains the question: What seafood is valuable?
He only remembered two of the seafood mentioned in the video that received over 100 million likes in the search results, one was a large yellow croaker and the other was a tuna.
The video mentioned that the most expensive record for large yellow croaker at auction was 970 large yellow croakers, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.
Yu Shengnan climbed back to the shore and quickly confirmed that the fish was a yellow croaker. He always felt like he was dreaming.
Hmm? This fish looks dead. Wasn't it alive just now?
In fact, this is because Yu Shengnan doesn't know much about yellow croaker. It is rare to see a live yellow croaker. Of course, you may find it when you go fishing at sea or trawling on the sea, but it is generally recognized that yellow croaker dies when it leaves the water.
Let it die, it's still a big yellow croaker. He picked up the bucket and ran back to his residence, then started the tricycle and drove straight to Oriental Seafood City.
"It really is a wild yellow croaker. Have you weighed it? How much is it?"
After confirming that it was a yellow croaker, most people didn't dare to take it. Finally, the waiter called Chef Lu.
"I weighed it, and it's four pounds and eight ounces."
Extra large yellow croaker
"Xiao Yu, what's the price of this wild yellow croaker? There's no specific price in the market, but it's definitely not cheap. I'd like to contact a few customers who have ordered yellow croaker before and see what they're offering. Can we just deduct a 5% referral fee?"
"Of course, thank you for your help, Mr. Lu." Yu Shengnan was originally struggling with how much money was appropriate, fearing that Lu Tongwei would name a price and he would be embarrassed to refuse. This would be best, the customer would just make the offer directly.
Afterwards, Yu Shengnan watched Lu Tongwei operating his mobile phone. It turned out that he had pulled fourteen people into a chat group, sent pictures of the fish and the weight, and directly asked them to give a quote.
"Twenty thousand!"
"Twenty-two thousand!"
…
"Okay, is there anything higher than 38,000? If not, this big yellow croaker belongs to Mr. Wang."
"Come here, Xiao Yu, take a look. The current offer is 38,000. Do you think it's okay?" Lu Tongwei turned and asked Yu Shengnan.
"Mr. Lu, didn't the Internet say that the auction record for wild yellow croaker was 970?" Yu Shengnan's excited heart cooled down a little at this moment.
"What 970?"
"It's not 970, it's 970w!" Seeing that Lu Tongwei was still a little confused, Yu Shengnan quickly took out her mobile phone and opened the video to show him.
"Hey! Brother, don't be fooled. They're just making this video up for traffic. Real wild yellow croaker is expensive, but not ridiculously so. Yours is just a big one. Otherwise, how could a fish be sold for so much? Think about it normally. Would you spend hundreds of yuan to buy a fish to eat?"
Lu Tongwei's explanation made Yu Shengnan feel a little embarrassed. Yes, rich people are rich, but they are not stupid. Who would spend nearly 10 million to buy a fish? When you think about it carefully, you really can't believe the video and can only watch it.
"What about the 38,000?"
"Thirty-eight thousand is not a small amount, but brother, if you think it's not enough, then go ask somewhere else. But I know that our purchase price is always the fairest, and your commission will definitely be higher than mine. If you're unlucky, they'll just force you to buy something. Anyway, once you enter their store, they'll give you a few hundred dollars and you might not even have a place to complain!"
"I've sold it and I'm not going anywhere. What you said, Mr. Lu, is definitely correct."
Yu Shengnan was a little bit carried away before, but now he has regained his rationality. He knows that what Lu Tongwei said is correct. Besides, He Xinran is a shareholder here, so he should have believed Lu Tongwei. Lu Tongwei said so much just now, and it seems that he is unhappy.
Thirty-eight thousand, a 5% commission, this money goes directly into Lu Tongwei's pocket and has nothing to do with the seafood city. If customers come to eat, the restaurant will charge extra for the processing. He asked for a long time, and if you go to other places to sell, it would be strange if Lu Tongwei is happy.
After the money was transferred, Yu Shengnan transferred another thousand to Lu Tongwei.
"Please have some fruit for Mr. Lu and the brothers in the kitchen. I have no other intentions," Yu Shengnan said, and Lu Tongwei's face returned to its original smile.
"Xiao Yu, this might be your first time encountering yellow croaker. Let me tell you, the reason it's so expensive is because of its golden appearance. It needs to be frozen immediately after it's caught. It's best to use a black plastic bag to block out light, which will help preserve it fresher."
"Don't want this skinned fish. You can eat it yourself when you go back. It's not big anyway and you won't get much money if you sell it," Lu Tongwei looked at the goods in the bucket again.
Yu Shengnan was very grateful for Chef Lu’s final advice. This was just a favor. You made people happy, and they gave you advice. Otherwise, they might not even want your fish again.
Since she had caught so many big yellow croakers today, she really deserved a reward. Yu Shengnan took the skinned fish back to her residence directly.
Yu Shengnan didn’t know how to make skinned fish delicious, but this was not a problem for a cook. Nowadays, a cook who couldn’t watch videos was not a qualified foodie.
To skin a fish, you need to prepare the fish first, remove the bones, horns, head, tail and fins, then make an opening above the head and start separating the skin and head little by little.
The process of peeling fish skin is quite easy. Even if you have never eaten it before, you can go to the market to buy one and try to make it. It is very cheap, only a few dozen yuan at most. Of course, the extra-large ones are not included.
After the skin and flesh are separated, an opening is made under the mouth to take out the internal organs.
Because the fish was not very big, it was probably only about two pounds after removing the internal organs. He simply made two cuts on the fish and then braised it.
"Dr. Fish, you're not only a doctor of medicine, you're also a doctor of fishing. You actually caught a big yellow croaker today! That's amazing!"
He Xinran was really well-informed. She received the news while Yu Shengnan was having dinner.
"Lucky, haha. I'm still a bit far from a PhD. At most, I'm a high school graduate. How are you doing? Have you finished that design?"
"Oh, what a toilsome life! No one supports me. Now that I'm done, I'm exhausted. Now that you've become rich, why don't you reward me?"
"Um...how about I treat you to lunch tomorrow?" Yu Shengnan mustered up the courage to make an invitation.
"Okay, okay, see you tomorrow!"
The taste of love spread in her mouth, and Yu Shengnan felt that the skinned fish today was really delicious.
When he was standing before going to bed at night, he found that he could actually stand for 80 minutes, which was 20 minutes longer than yesterday. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but this time not only was the time longer, but after finishing standing, his waist was not as sore as yesterday. The effect of this exercise was great.
"Come on, Yu Shengnan, keep working hard. A good body is the key to a good life!!!"
