21: Sky-high Price Golden Carp

Chen Xiangbei still wanted to promote those large Grass Carp, but the Shop Owner said that the ones he bought yesterday hadn't sold out yet, so he didn't want them.

The Shop Owner then set his sights on the Yellow Catfish.

"Wow~ such large wild Yellow Catfish are rare. There must be twenty or thirty of them, right? Give them all to me. I'll keep them to try."

"So, how about 50 per jin? The largest one I'll give you for free," Chen Xiangbei said generously.

"Okay, thank you very much then. This fish tastes good, and I haven't eaten it in a long time."

Excluding the Yellow Catfish that was given away, there were a total of 12 jin, exactly 600 yuan.

"Look, I still have over a dozen Largemouth Bass here. How about it? I'll give you a few, and I'll keep a few to sell myself."

"Bass, just give them all to me. The best-selling fish in my shop is Bass."

"Give them all to me. I'll give you 110 per jin. You won't lose out, how about it?" the Shop Owner said eagerly.

"Emm... okay then. Since you put it that way, how can I not sell?"

There were a total of 61 jin of Largemouth Bass, totaling 6710 yuan.

"Shop Owner, how about this fish king of mine?" At this moment, Chen Xiangbei took out the Bass King from the fish box and said teasingly to the Shop Owner.

"Holy moly! How did you still hide such a big guy?" the Shop Owner said, shocked.

"Little Shop Owner, are you selling this Bass King? I'll offer 5000 yuan." Before the restaurant Shop Owner could make an offer, a Da Ye among the onlookers shouted loudly to Chen Xiangbei.

Chen Xiangbei turned his head to look and saw the Da Ye's attire, which looked very much like Wang Ziyi's father. He looked like a landlord who owned several buildings.

"Of course I'm selling. You know your stuff. The deal is 5000 yuan. Please wait a moment while I pack it for you." Saying this, he picked up a sack, packed the fish, and carried it over to the Da Ye.

"Da Ye, the fish is packed. How would you like to pay?"

"Let me transfer the money to you. Give me your account number."

5000 yuan was directly transferred to his bank card, and then he handed the fish to the Da Ye.

When he returned to the pickup truck, the Shop Owner said somewhat gloomily, "Why did you sell it so quickly? I hadn't even made an offer yet. How good would it have been if I bought this fish to display?"

"Hehe, Brother, don't worry. I still have good stuff here. Wait for me for a moment."

After speaking, he turned around and took out the Golden Carp from the small fish catch box with oxygen plugged in next to him.

He said to the Shop Owner, "If you want to display it, I think this one is more suitable, Brother. What do you think?"

He saw a golden Carp, exceptionally dazzling in the sunlight, struggling in Chen Xiangbei's hands.

"Holy crap~ you even caught this thing? What kind of heaven-defying luck do you have!"

"You must be the Fish God's son! Oh my goodness, tell me quickly! How much do you want for it?" the Shop Owner said excitedly.

"Hehe, that's up to you. It's hard for me to set a price. You give me a price, and if it's suitable, I'll give it to you."

"Emm... how about this? I'll give you a very auspicious price, how about 8888 yuan?"

"Okay, it's sold. This fish is yours."

Saying this, he handed it to the Shop Owner. The Shop Owner took the fish and ran, running into the shop and putting the fish in a separate fish tank.

Then he came out and settled the bill.

"Shop Owner, I still have other fish here. Do you want them?"

"Stop! Stop! These fish are enough for me for a while, and besides, I don't have much cash flow left. You keep the rest to sell," the Shop Owner said hurriedly, getting carried away with the buying.

"Okay, then I'll bring you more fish in a few days if I catch any." After speaking, he turned to the onlookers and said loudly.

"Fish for sale! Freshly caught wild big fish, selling cheap!"

At this time, the pickup truck was already surrounded by onlookers.

Some were just watching, and some wanted to buy fish.

"Little Shop Owner, what fish do you have left? Can you let me see? I'm the Shop Owner of 'Fish King Aquatic Products Store' across the street. If they're suitable, I'll take all the fish you have left."

At this moment, an Uncle who looked to be in his forties squeezed through the crowd and said to Chen Xiangbei.

"Okay, come up and take a look." Saying this, he pulled the aquatic products store Shop Owner up.

"I still have a few Culter, a few Grass Carp, a few Black Fish, and over a dozen Carp, as well as some miscellaneous fish," Chen Xiangbei said.

"Let me take a look." After the aquatic products Shop Owner finished speaking, he personally used his hands to scoop out various fish and examined them.

"Hmm, your fish are indeed all wild. I thought you were putting on a show with the restaurant Shop Owner. I didn't expect you to have some real skills. Just sell them all to me, I'll take them all."

"Of course, I can't deceive people. If I were to deceive anyone, I'd deceive foreigners."

"I'll also give you a discount. Culter at 80 per jin, Grass Carp at 12 yuan per jin, Black Fish at 30 per jin, Carp at 10 per jin, and the remaining miscellaneous small fish at 5 yuan per jin, how about it?" Chen Xiangbei gave the quote.

(Note: In the previous chapters, the author made a mistake with the price of Grass Carp and Carp. The previous price was for farmed fish, and this is the wild price, but there is still a huge difference from reality. Please forgive Mr. and Ms. readers.)

"Okay, the price is fine. I'll take them all. Drive your truck across the street. I have a large scale in my shop, and it's also convenient for unloading," the aquatic products Shop Owner said.

Chen Xiangbei turned the truck around and parked in front of the aquatic products store across the street. The Shop Owner of the aquatic products store took out a scale and began weighing the fish.

Culter 31 jin, totaling 2480 yuan.

Grass Carp 62 jin, totaling 744 yuan.

Black Fish 8 jin, totaling 240 yuan.

Carp 160 jin, totaling 160 yuan.

Miscellaneous small fish 80 jin, totaling 400 yuan.

The total came to 4024 yuan.

The aquatic products Shop Owner paid the money readily, then asked Chen Xiangbei to help carry the fish into the shop.

He went back to the truck, packed everything up, got in, stepped on the gas, and left.

The fish sold to the restaurant Shop Owner brought in a total of 23654 yuan.

The Largemouth Bass King sold to the Da Ye brought in 5000 yuan.

Including the fish sold to the aquatic products store Shop Owner, the total income was 32678 yuan.

After some calculations, Chen Xiangbei couldn't help but exclaim.

"The fishing effect of this Secret Bait is truly amazing! Those cunning big fish kept biting the hook."

"Also, there's the bonus effect of rare fish. Catching one rare fish is worth dozens of big fish."

"The basic income for just one day is over ten thousand. If I can have this harvest every day, it'll be hard not to get rich!" Chen Xiangbei said emotionally.

However, he also knew that it was impossible to have a day like this every day.

The number of fish is relatively fixed. After the big fish in one place are caught, it takes some time for them to recover.

Especially rare fish, which are pitifully few. Catching one means there's one less. Otherwise, why would they be so hard to catch?

He still benefited from the Secret Bait. Without it, no matter how good his skills were, he wouldn't be able to catch them.

After driving for about half an hour, Chen Xiangbei arrived at a Thai restaurant.

He had been craving Thai food for a long time, but he just didn't have time to eat it.

He went upstairs, found a window seat, and scanned the self-ordering QR code on the table with his phone.

He ordered a Lemongrass Grilled Chicken, a Tom Yum Soup, a Secret Pork Neck, a Spring Roll, a Curry Shrimp, a large portion of Volcano Ribs, and a Mango Sticky Rice.
