184: Green fish is selling well

Looking at the disappearing dolphins, Chen Xiangbei put away his reluctance, went full throttle, and sped across the sea, striving to return to the Fishermen's Wharf earlier.

Today's catch was a bit much, unlike the usual dozens of fish that would sell out quickly; this time, it would probably take some time to sell it all.

Finally, after driving at full speed for over an hour, Chen Xiangbei returned to the Fishermen's Wharf.

From a distance, he saw that the Fishermen's Wharf market was packed with people; he checked his watch and realized it was already past six o'clock, right during rush hour when most people came to buy groceries.

Chen Xiangbei quickly and steadily docked the boat, went into the cabin to find all the fish boxes, eight in total, and then put the qingyi fish into the live well one by one, thirty fish per box.

Then he carried the boxed fish off the boat one by one and stacked them up in an open space on the Fishermen's Wharf.

He turned on the loudspeaker he had prepared in advance: Come take a look, fresh sea-caught qingyi fish, selling cheap!

In fact, he didn't need to shout at all, as many customers who knew him had already gathered around; they were all drawn by his fishing boat, because this type of fishing boat could often catch fresh seafood at this time.

The stalls of other vendors mostly had farmed fish, or stale sea fish, neither the taste nor the price met everyone's requirements.

Chen Xiangbei opened one of the fish boxes and said, "Everyone, take a look for yourselves, these are all freshly caught qingyi fish, you should be able to tell if they are real or not, if you need one, you can take one."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Da Ye asked, "Mr., this qingyi fish looks very fresh, are you a professional fisherman?"

Chen Xiangbei smiled and replied, "Yes, Da Ye, everyone who knows me knows that I go sea fishing every morning and come back here to sell fish in the evening, many people have seen me."

"No wonder, I see your fish is really good, how do you sell it?"

"120 per catty, they are all plump qingyi fish weighing six or seven catties each, would you like one to try?"

"Okay, give me a bigger one, I have a large family." The Da Ye requested.

Chen Xiangbei picked out a large qingyi fish from the fish box and put it on the electronic scale to weigh it.

"Da Ye, this one is 9 catties and 2 taels, a total of 1104 yuan, I'll just charge you a round 1100 yuan." Chen Xiangbei said to the Da Ye.

The Da Ye took out eleven hundred-yuan cash notes from his pocket, handed them to Chen Xiangbei, and took the fish from his hand.

Once business started, it went much smoother; people one after another asked to buy fish, having Chen Xiangbei weigh and pack them.

"Ding, Alipay received 1050 yuan."

"Ding, Alipay received 920 yuan."

"Ding, VV received 860 yuan."

...

As the payment received notifications sounded one after another, the first batch of goods Chen Xiangbei put out quickly sold out.

The bandwagon effect worked very well; everyone gathered around his stall, thus attracting more people to watch him sell fish, and seeing others buy, they all wanted to buy one too.

After the first batch of fish was sold out, Chen Xiangbei said to everyone, "Please wait a moment, I still have dozens of fish on my boat, I'll go get them now, please don't crowd, to avoid accidents."

After speaking, he took a few fish boxes and ran towards the boat.

Before long, he returned to the stall with two full boxes of qingyi fish, plus a box less than one-third full of qingyi fish, and opened them one by one.

When everyone saw there was more fish, the customers who hadn't bought yet all started asking to buy one.

The crowd's support made Chen Xiangbei a bit overwhelmed, so he simply let everyone help themselves.

He gave a bag to everyone who wanted to buy, letting them pick the fish themselves, weigh it themselves, and then pay; since it was all the same price, he just needed to watch from the side to prevent anyone from cheating.

Having unlocked a new way of selling fish, Chen Xiangbei felt much more relaxed; selling fish was almost more exhausting than fishing, especially with the many questions from Da Yes and aunties, who were worried about this and that.

Chen Xiangbei couldn't ignore them, so he could only patiently explain to them; there were many people there, and some of the older ones were hard of hearing, so he had to raise his voice to talk to them.

Finally, around seven o'clock, Chen Xiangbei finished selling all the fish; his clothes were soaked with sweat.

He carefully packed up the things on the stall, tidied up the tools one by one, and put them into a box nearby. Every movement seemed skilled and efficient.

After finishing packing up, Chen Xiangbei walked back to his boat with slightly heavy steps. He entered the cabin, put down the items in his hands, and then went to the bathroom.

He turned on the faucet, letting the cold water pour down, washing over his tired body. The water droplets fell on his skin, bringing a feeling of relaxation and comfort.

He fully enjoyed this moment of tranquility, letting the water wash away the day's fatigue. After showering, he felt refreshed and his spirits were lifted.

After showering, he took out a clean set of clothes from his spatial storage and changed, then started the boat and left the Fishermen's Wharf.

Before long, the fishing boat was docked at the Yacht Club berth, then he got off the boat, found his Maybach, and drove towards Linhai Jewelry City.

Before going, he sent a message to the Brother at the jewelry store to confirm if he was in the shop, to avoid a wasted trip.

After getting a reply from the Brother, Chen Xiangbei felt reassured and drove the Maybach towards the Jewelry City.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, it was already dark; Chen Xiangbei's vehicle slowly drove into the Jewelry City parking lot, and after parking the car, he didn't get out immediately.

He took out a few bags from his spatial storage and packed each pearl separately; all those above 15 millimeters were put into small boxes plus bags, while those below 15 millimeters also had a bag.

This way it would at least not look so cheap, and the impression it gave would be better; if he just wrapped them in a piece of cloth, people might think he stole them from somewhere, although that Brother wouldn't, it's better to do it as well as possible.

After getting all the pearls ready, Chen Xiangbei carried them to the Brother's jewelry store.

When the elevator door opened, Chen Xiangbei saw that the Brother was already waiting at the elevator entrance! He smiled at the Brother and said, "Is there a need to wait at the elevator entrance?"

The Brother replied with a grin, "Of course there is, who told you to say on the phone that you had top-grade pearls? You don't know, pearls have been selling incredibly well lately for some reason!"

"Let's go, to your store, it's not convenient to talk business here!" Chen Xiangbei said with a smile.

"Right, right, let's go to the store and talk while having tea." The Brother quickly led the way.

Entering the store, the Brother warmly invited Chen Xiangbei to sit down and brewed a pot of fragrant tea. Chen Xiangbei then put the pearls on the counter for the Brother to see later.
