219: The lid is broken

“A-Jun, you’re here!”

“Oh, Auntie is here! Did you have fun?”

Zhang Jun replied with a smile, nodding at a few Women.

“Hi! I had a great time. I caught quite a few fish, and even a big one. You should take some fish home later for your mom to taste.”

“Speaking of which, your mom has been to our house a few times, but she hasn’t had a meal here yet. Next time, you must bring her over to try Auntie’s cooking.”

Zheng Jin was quite excited when she talked about today’s fishing.

“Definitely, definitely. My dad and the others have already said they’ll all attend when Xiao Qi gets engaged. They also said you must save seats for the two of them. Hahaha.”

“We’re also going to an auction with Yang Qi tonight, so we won’t be bringing any fish this time. But we’ll definitely be coming over for fish in the future.”

Zhang Jun said with a smile.

“Ah! Really? That’s wonderful! If they come, we’ll definitely save seats for them.”

Zheng Jin was also very happy to hear this. Then she told Zhang Jun and Yang Qi to go and be busy.

Everyone watched as Yang Qi and Bai Xue left the dock in Zhang Jun’s car, and their hearts were once again shocked.

Their understanding was refreshed again; it turned out that even Chairman Zhang of Shenglong Group had connections with their family.

They repeated what Zhang Jun had just said, then turned to thank Zheng Jin for her help.

Zhang Li and the others were touched.

“Thank you, second sister! Our two families have truly met a benefactor. No need to say anything else, it’s all here. From now on, just watch how we sisters act.”

Zhang Li and Wang Chun patted their chests loudly.

“Oh! It’s good that I could help you all. It’s all because Xiao Qi and A-Jun have such a good relationship. We’re all family, so there’s no need to be polite.”

Zheng Jin also said happily.

A group of people drove to the corner of the residential area’s entrance, and at Zhang Li’s suggestion, they unloaded the goods right on the street.

Normally, if it were an owner’s goods, they could drive into the residential area.

But how could that be? Unloading downstairs in the unit building is not as exciting as unloading at the community entrance.

When box after box of fish were moved off the car, many residents came forward to watch.

The biggest fish definitely had to be placed on top and not covered, only with a layer of crushed ice.

Don’t ask, just say the box lid was broken.

Zhang Li and Wang Chun pretended to look for things, opening the sealed foam boxes from time to time to show off their catch to their neighbors.

At the corner of the residential area’s entrance, more and more people gathered to watch.

“Big sister, your fish are really good. How much are you selling them for? I’ll buy some.”

At this moment, a young man passing by, watching the commotion, asked.

“That’s right! Why didn’t I think of it? If they sell fish, couldn’t I also buy these good fish?”

Residents from the same community thought. They all looked at Zhang Li and Wang Chun.

“Our fish are not for sale; I have my own use for them. I’ll ask my sister for you; we fished together. She has quite a few live fish.”

Zhang Li looked at the neighbors around her, whose eyes were full of expectation, and said.

Just as she looked at Zheng Jin, Zheng Jin smiled at her and said:

“Dear neighbors, we are professional fishermen. The fish we catch are all bought by some fisheries. ”

“Because we all have long-term contracts, they usually pick first at a high price, and only then do we sell the rest at a lower retail price.”

“But today’s fish were all caught by us one by one. The quality of the fish is very good, and many of them are even still alive now.”

“We haven’t even gone to our partners to sell the fish yet. These are all top-grade catches, so the price will be quite a bit higher.”

“If you can accept it, since everyone here is my sister’s neighbor, I can sell some to you all. The price will be according to the purchase price from the merchants; we won’t earn an extra yuan from you.”

“In addition, the price of live fish is 20% higher than chilled fish even for merchants. If you mind, then forget it.”

Zheng Jin’s words were very sincere. The purchase price and the market retail price are two different concepts.

When they asked about the price of the fish, it was indeed much lower than the wet market. Even if Zheng Jin’s quoted price was 15-20% higher than Chen Tianming’s purchase price.

The onlookers among the neighbors all came forward to ask to buy fish. Residents in the owner’s group saw the message and heard that Zhang Li’s sister was selling fish again at the community entrance.

And these fish were just caught, big and fresh, with many still alive.

They had already seen photos of Zhang Li and Wang Chun fishing at sea in the group, and now hearing that these fish were for sale, they all rushed to the community entrance.

To avoid misunderstanding among the residents, Zhang Li directly explained the quality and price of these fish.

Originally, Zheng Jin said she would only sell a portion of the catch, but it was all snapped up by the enthusiastic neighbors. Only more than half a box of Sardine was left, which she managed to keep with great difficulty.

Wang Xudong and Li Lifeng just took these empty boxes and also picked out quite a few fish to give away.

The remaining fish, with the help of Zheng Jin and Chen Lanxin, were sent to Zhang Li’s freezer at home.

While inviting the two to sit down for tea, she sent messages to a few good friends in the community to come and get fish.

Subsequently, four or five Women came one after another to accompany Zheng Jin and Chen Lanxin for tea and chat, and each took a bag of fish home when they left.

After Zheng Jin and the other left, they had dinner at Zhang Li’s house, then said goodbye and went home. On the way back, Zheng Jin calculated today’s earnings and found that she had sold over 40,000 yuan worth of fish.

She transferred 10,000 yuan each to Chen Lanxin and Bai Xue.

Chen Lanxin glanced at the message on the car’s dashboard and saw it was a bank transfer message for 10,000 yuan. She quickly asked:

“Big sister, did you transfer money to me? Why so much?”

“Yes, I transferred 10,000 yuan. You also helped sell fish, so this is your share of the profits today. Xiao Xue also has some.”

Zheng Jin said.

“Ah! Isn’t that too much?”

“Take it, just take it. You need to have some money! You and your younger brother will have many places to spend money in the future. This time, I won’t share with your sister.”

Zheng Jin said slowly.

“Well, alright then! Thank you, big sister!”

Chen Lanxin thanked her happily.

Bai Xue held Yang Qi’s arm and followed Zhang Jun into the lobby of a hotel.

A manager-like person came over, smiling broadly at the group and said:

“President Zhang, you’ve arrived! Please follow me, the auction is about to begin.”

“President Liu, you’re too kind. Please lead the way!”

Zhang Jun clearly knew him, introduced Yang Qi and Bai Xue, and then led the way.

The three arrived at a hall behind the main lobby. At the entrance, there was a table with two people sitting, presumably registering attendees’ information.

Upon entering, there was a rostrum at the very front, with a banner hanging behind it, inscribed with “XX City Fisheries Association 8th Exchange Conference.”

In front of the rostrum was a long, large ice platform. It was still empty for now, but in a blink, they saw several staff members filling it with ice.

This should be the spot for displaying seafood exhibits later.
