From the gate of heaven

Chapter 54 [Large Yellow Croaker Reselling Plan]

As the sun rose, Lin Ze took the four servants out on foot.

Leaving Lin's house and walking west, it didn't take long to see the west gate of Fengping County.

"Young Master Lin."

When he left the city, he saw Lin Ze's patrolling soldiers and yamen servants around, and they all took the initiative to bow slightly to say hello.

Obviously, these soldiers and yamen servants have been confessed by the Shangguan, and they must maintain enough respect for Lin Ze.

Patrol soldiers and yamen servants are considered prominent figures in Fengping County, and even they are so respectful to Lin Ze, which immediately made many ordinary passers-by remember Lin Ze's appearance and define him as a big man who cannot be offended.

For these people who greeted, Lin Ze smiled and nodded.

Although such a posture seems not down-to-earth, considering his current social status in the county, his willingness to respond to everyone's greetings is considered a face.

Because of this, the soldiers and yamen servants who greeted Lin Ze didn't feel slighted, on the contrary, they were a little flattered.

Soon, Lin Ze walked out of the west gate with his servants.

As far as the eye can see is a flat land paved with stone slabs, and further away is the wharf built near the Yangchun River.

Fengping County is an important material transfer station on this waterway.

There are many boats made of wood moored in the pier, and many laborers are busy moving goods here. There are also many teahouses and restaurants built around the pier. In addition, there are many small vendors doing business here.

Standing at the gate of the city and looking around for a while, Lin Ze didn't see anything like a young man from a famous family, so he walked towards a teahouse near the pier.

I plan to drink tea at this place where the three teachings and nine streams gather, and see if I can get any extra gains.

On the way, I saw people selling their catches.

Some of these catches were caught in the nearby Yangchun River, and some were transported from Linhai County, Linhai County, which is about [-] miles away from Fengping County.

A large part of the seafood like fish and shrimp that Lin Ze usually eats is bought here by the servants at home.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this fish?"

Lin Ze pointed to the live fish that the murloc put in the wooden bucket, and asked with a smile.

"My lord, you are asking the right person. This is a top-quality large yellow croaker. The meat is extremely tender and delicious. It only costs eighty renminbi a catty!"

When the fish seller saw Lin Ze's moon-white brocade clothes embroidered with complex cloud patterns, he immediately became energetic and started to sell them immediately.

The price of silk and satin, the raw material for making brocade clothes, is not exaggeratedly high.

However, every pattern and pattern embroidered on the brocade clothes contains the painstaking efforts of the embroiderer, which leads to the high price of brocade clothes with complex patterns, and the people who can wear such clothes are either rich or expensive.

In fact, this set of clothes is really not cheap. Lin Ze bought it in the main world for 5000 yuan, which is almost 20 taels of silver when converted into the currency of the foreign world.

"Don't fool me. The average fish costs more than 20 yuan a catty. Even if your yellow croaker tastes better, it only costs about [-] yuan. How can you sell it for [-] yuan a catty?"

Lin Ze said with a smile.

In an agricultural society, fish meat is not as valuable as pork.

The reason is also very simple. One is that ordinary people do not have so many seasonings to remove fishy smell and enhance flavor, and the taste of fish is very ordinary to them.

The second is that fish contains very little fat, and the fat obtained from eating fish is not as rich as pork.

Therefore, even if it is a yellow croaker that tastes far better than ordinary fish, it is already a sky-high if it can be sold at the same price as pork.

In fact, in the main world, lean meat is more expensive than fat meat, which is also the result of the increase in productivity in recent decades, and people have no shortage of food.

Otherwise, relatively speaking, fat meat containing fat is more expensive.

The fish in the wooden barrel placed in front of Lin Ze at this moment is yellow in color. It is called yellow croaker in the main world. Of course, it has a similar name in this other world, called yellow croaker.

The yellow croaker in the bucket weighs at least five catties, so it can be called a large yellow croaker.

The yellow croaker in another world is very cheap. Even if you don't bargain, you can buy it for 20 yuan a catty, but if you convert it to the price of rice, it will cost you about [-] yuan per catty.

And this wild large yellow croaker is placed in the main world, at least 5000 yuan per catty, and some top-quality products can be sold for tens of thousands per catty.

In the past, large yellow croakers in the main world were also very cheap, but with the sharp decline in production after overfishing, coupled with people's pursuit of delicious food, the price of wild large yellow croakers has reached an extremely terrifying level.

In fact, Lin Ze wanted to gain a foothold in Fengping County at that time, in order to buy large yellow croakers in bulk near the Ximen Wharf and sell them in the main world.

For a catty of fish, Lin Ze conservatively estimates that he can make a profit of 5000 yuan.

And this is not like the seasonable mountain treasures like matsutake, which can be traded for a long time all year round. If this business continues for a long time, Lin Ze feels that his net worth will soon reach an exaggerated level.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Lin Ze didn't expect that he had a sudden inspiration and wanted to build a coal mine, so he delayed until now to come to the Ximen Wharf, and started the plan he had planned to resell the big yellow croaker in the two worlds.

In fact, Lin Ze came to Ximen this time mainly not for the big yellow croaker, but for obtaining a channel to learn superior martial arts.

It was only because he saw someone selling the big yellow croaker that Lin Ze temporarily remembered his shelved plan.

"My lord, you are very knowledgeable. The reason why this large yellow croaker is sold at a high price is because it is only produced in offshore waters. These fish are all shipped from Linhai County, so they are sold at a higher price."

"My lord, if you sincerely want it, I'll give you sixty Wen a catty."

The murloc wasn't angry when Lin Ze bargained for the price. He explained with a smile, and even lowered the price.

"The big yellow croaker sent me to the Lin's house in Yunyan Lane, Ximen, and said that it was bought by Mr. Lin. I will drink tea in the teahouse in front. You go and ask your supervisor to come and negotiate a big deal with me."

Lin Ze smiled and threw a tael of silver ingot to the fish seller, and then walked towards the teahouse in front.

The fish sellers at the pier, as well as Li Gong and others belong to a gang organization called the Cao Gang. Of course, it is more convenient for Lin Ze to find a manager if he wants to buy fish in large quantities.

"Okay, thank you son."

The murloc took the money and said loudly in surprise.

This yellow croaker only weighed five or six catties, and it cost three to four hundred Wen, so the extra 600 Wen was his reward.

It's a surprise that he can't make so much money selling fish here for four or five days.

So he quickly agreed, and asked the little grandson who followed him to sell fish to deliver fish to Lin's house, and he himself went to inform the boss above.
