17: Making a fortune!
"Mr., how do I buy this Qing Fish?"
"Young man, how much is this Black Fish per jin?"
"Mr., how much is this big Carp per fish?"
...
The people on the scene were chattering and chaotic, Chen Xiangbei tried his best to maintain order.
"Uncles, Aunties, Brothers, and Sisters, listen to me."
"To save everyone's time and not disturb others, please queue up in an orderly manner."
"Please also rest assured, I have dozens of fish here, all big fish, enough for everyone to buy."
"Starting from this Brother, everyone line up behind him, be careful not to affect others."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. In fact, many people just followed the crowd. Seeing so many wild big fish, they wanted to buy when they saw others buying.
Moreover, a large number of people were there to watch the excitement.
After Chen Xiangbei said this, they all began to make way, allowing those who needed to buy.
After everyone had lined up, Chen Xiangbei spoke to the first Brother.
"Brother, what fish do you want?"
"I want a Qing Fish, the medium-sized one will do."
"I won't differentiate the size or grade of these fish anymore, it's a unified price, Qing Fish is 10 yuan per jin (price differs from reality, don't mind), okay?" Chen Xiangbei asked.
"Okay, for such a big fish, this price is suitable, weigh it for me."
A series of "beep beep beep" sounds.
"It's a total of 28.6 jin, 286 yuan, you can just give 280."
After paying by scanning the QR code on his phone, this Brother left with the fish, letting the next customer buy.
This was an Auntie, who asked: "Little Shop Owner, how do you sell this mandarin fish?"
"mandarin fish is 100 yuan per jin, pure wild Siniperca chuatsi, nutritious and delicious, Auntie, do you want one?"
"Okay, give me one, my old man loves to eat this."
"Okay, I'll weigh it."
"This one is six jin and two liang, a total of 620 yuan, how will you pay, Auntie?"
"I'll pay cash, I'll give you the change." After saying that, she took out a wad of cash from her cloth bag, counted 6 one-hundred yuan bills and 1 twenty-yuan bill, and handed them to Chen Xiangbei.
"Alright, Auntie, please take it. If it's delicious, remember to come again. I sell here from time to time."
"Okay, I'll come again next time, your fish is cheaper and more affordable than others."
"Come, come, come, next one..."
Half an hour later, Chen Xiangbei's fish were almost sold out, with three tilapias and two Grass Carps left unsold.
After waiting for a while and no one came to buy, he saw a restaurant on the opposite side of the road that cooked stir-fries.
Chen Xiangbei thought about going to the restaurant to see if he could sell them.
No sooner said than done, he tidied up the pickup truck bed, got in the car, and turned around to go to the opposite side of the road.
He got out of the car and walked into the restaurant. The waiter saw someone come in, thought he was there to eat, and immediately said.
"Welcome, how many people?"
"Oh, I'm not here to eat, I'm here to sell fish. Do you need fish in your restaurant? Pure wild big Grass Carp and tilapia, just caught today, over ten jin each." Chen Xiangbei said.
"Is that so? I have to ask our Shop Owner, I can't make the decision. How about you wait while I go in and ask?"
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
The waiter walked into the kitchen and came out shortly, followed by a Brother who looked to be in his thirties, who should be the Shop Owner of the restaurant.
As soon as this Brother came out, he saw Chen Xiangbei and asked.
"Mr., are you the one selling fish? Where are the fish?"
"Hello, Shop Owner, come with me, the fish are in the car at the entrance, you can take a look if you want them."
Saying that, he walked outside, and the restaurant Shop Owner followed behind him.
Arriving beside the pickup truck, Chen Xiangbei climbed onto the truck bed, opened the fish box lid, and pulled out a large Grass Carp from inside.
The restaurant Shop Owner was also knowledgeable; he knew it was a wild Grass Carp at a glance and said.
"What a fat Grass Carp, is there only one?"
"There are more, a total of two Grass Carps are this big, and there are also three tilapias."
Saying that, he took out the tilapias from the fish box and showed them to the restaurant Shop Owner.
The restaurant Shop Owner was also slightly surprised to see such large wild tilapias.
"Mr., how do you want to sell these fish? If the price is right, I'll buy them all."
"Shop Owner, Qing Fish is 10 yuan per jin, tilapia is 6 yuan per jin, how about that?"
After hearing this, the restaurant Shop Owner was no longer calm and said: "Mr., why are you selling so cheap? It's almost cheaper than those from the fish farm. Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
"Hehe, I caught all these myself. I'm selling them so cheap to get rid of them quickly, otherwise, if the fish die, they won't sell well. I caught a bit too many fish today." Chen Xiangbei said with a smile.
"Alright then, give them all to me. You calculate the bill, and I'll scan and pay you. If you catch this kind of fish again in the future, you can bring them here to me. I can't say a lot, but I can definitely take twenty or thirty."
"Okay then, I'll bring them over another day when I catch them."
He weighed all the fish. The two Grass Carps totaled 24 jin, and the three tilapias totaled 22 jin.
"The two Grass Carps are 120 yuan, the three tilapias are 132 yuan, a total of 252 yuan."
"Brother, look, I originally wanted to round down for you, but the number isn't quite right after rounding. How about I give you a discount next time?" Chen Xiangbei said.
"Hahaha, it's really not quite right. Just remember to give me a discount next time. Come, I'll scan and pay you."
"Ding, Alipay received 253 yuan."
After the money arrived, Chen Xiangbei said goodbye to the restaurant Shop Owner and drove towards home.
On the way, Chen Xiangbei combined the two payment records and the cash received, and calculated his income.
He just sold a total of 6 mandarin fish, 4 Qing Fishs, 14 Grass Carps, 3 Black Fish, and 8 Carps, as well as some decent-sized tilapias.
The 6 mandarin fish sold for 3060 yuan; the 4 Qing Fishs sold for 1130 yuan; the 14 Grass Carps sold for 875 yuan; the 3 Black Fish sold for 186 yuan; the tilapias sold for 369 yuan.
Adding the money from selling fish this morning, the total is exactly 6200 yuan.
"Wahahaha~ Wahahahahaha~"
A burst of crazy laughter came from a moving pickup truck.
Pedestrians on the road cast curious glances.
Coincidentally, there was a red light ahead, and all the vehicles on the road stopped. Chen Xiangbei's car was right in the middle.
At this moment, the small cars stopped on either side of him also heard the strange laughter coming from his car.
A couple was sitting in the Maybach on the left. The girl in the passenger seat said to the boy who was driving.
"Honey, if you feel stressed in the future, you must tell me, okay? Venting your emotions won't make you go crazy in broad daylight like the owner of that pickup truck, understand?"
"Uh... Honey, is it possible that Master thought of something happy, that's why he's laughing so happily?" the boy pondered.
"Are you silly? Have you ever seen anyone laugh so pervertedly in reality, except on TV? He's clearly mentally unstable." the girl affirmed.
"Alright then, I definitely won't be like him. If I'm stressed, Honey, can you give me a little more pocket money every month?"
"???"
"Are you going crazy too?" The girl had a face full of question marks.
Chen Xiangbei was currently immersed in his own inner world, completely oblivious to the gazes of others.
