Chapter 4 Selling Fish
  "It's just imported. Let's get some and try selling them to see if any customers like them." Gu Nan didn't retaliate angrily, it didn't make any sense.

Ji Jinxin was full of doubts: "Imported live fish? You don't know where you caught it and said it was imported, right?"

These two kinds of fish are relatively unpopular, and obviously the other party didn't recognize them.

Low-value fish are generally frozen to facilitate transportation. Only those high-value seafood are worthless because they are highly profitable or can only be sold alive. Therefore, some aquatic product store owners will choose to buy some live fish.

Some of the live seafood imported from abroad is not available even if you want it. The other party has to ensure that the seafood can arrive here alive before it can be shipped.

"Then just think I caught it myself!" Gu Nan said perfunctorily while cleaning up the shop.

His shop is not big. It usually sells mostly frozen seafood, and occasionally he can get some live seafood that can be kept for a long time.

He can't afford high-end seafood such as king crab, red hair crab, and Eastern star spot for the time being.

After entering the fishing ban season, it is now difficult for him to get even ordinary seafood at low prices, or the quality is poor. Therefore, there is not much seafood left in the store at the moment. It is estimated that the two large freezers will not be open for a few days. It's necessary.

Seeing that he didn't pay much attention to her, Ji Jinxin felt quite bored. After muttering a few times, he returned to his store.

Gu Nan didn't care. After mopping the floor, he returned to the bar, took out his mobile phone and made a call, ordering a takeaway for himself.

His home is not here, but in the village. It takes an hour to drive. It is very inconvenient to go back and forth from the store, so he rented a house here after opening the store.

The problem of eating is basically solved by taking out food. Occasionally, I will cook it myself.

Soon, a man in his thirties brought him a piece of fried rice noodles, which only cost him ten yuan.

The delivery person is the boss, and the shop is not far from the seafood market. It takes only three to five minutes on the electric scooter, and Gu Nan often orders food from him.

Ordering takeout on some apps is too expensive, and it takes at least half an hour to wait for the meal, which is not cost-effective.

I had just finished my dinner and before I could throw away my lunch box, I saw two young women in professional skirts coming to the door of the store. They seemed to have just gotten off work.

The two of them looked at the seafood in the store and frowned when they found that there was very little seafood here.

One of the women with long brown shawl hair said: "Xiao Mei, there is so little seafood here. It feels like they are all leftovers. Let's go and have a look!"

"Beauty, you can't say that. There are few things because I won't buy defective goods, such as fish that have been frozen for several years."

"These are all good seafood in my store. If you are afraid that the frozen fish will not be fresh, you can buy this kind of fish. I just arrived today, the Star Chicken Fish from East Africa."

"This fish is not only suitable for braised fish, but also suitable for making fish soup. Of the hundreds of fish that arrived in the morning, only six are sold now."

Seeing that the customer was about to leave, Gu Nan quickly stepped forward to explain and deceive the customer, successfully getting the customer to stay.

"Really? Isn't it expensive if the seafood from East Africa is not imported?" The woman with long brown hair was obviously interested.

"No, this is a relatively common rock bass, its scientific name is Pointed Rock Bass. The taste is not much worse than our domestic seven-star sea bass, and it is purely wild. It only costs 30 yuan per pound. You can buy one. Try it."

When they heard the price was thirty, the two women really thought it was not expensive.

But after searching in the fish tank and not finding anything particularly small, they hesitated.

The six fish in the fish tank don't look very small. Buying one fish costs at least sixty or seventy yuan, which is already beyond their daily budget.

"It feels like the fish is too big. We both can't eat that much in one meal. Why don't we look at something else?" Xiaomei, the woman next to her who had been silent for a while, said.

But the woman with long brown hair was still hesitant. To be honest, thirty yuan per pound of seafood was not expensive, and could even be considered relatively cheap.

But that's not important. What's important is that it's imported and live fish. This kind of price is rare in the market.

The two of them like to eat seafood and often buy it. They have learned before that imported seafood, even frozen, is generally more expensive and costs at least fifty or sixty yuan. They have never bought it.

When Gu Nan saw the brown-haired woman hesitate, he knew that she had the desire to buy, and quickly said: "It's okay if you can't eat the fish in one meal. You can eat half of it and put the rest in the refrigerator for tomorrow. You can make fish soup today and braise it tomorrow. , it’s so good to eat two fish for one!”

It's really acceptable for them to eat two separate meals like this. The woman with long brown hair looked at the fish again, and started bargaining directly: "Boss, these are the leftovers from your sales. Why don't you give them to us cheaper, and think of it as clearing out the goods for you?"

"This is imported seafood, and the price is already very low. But it's your first time here for this beauty, so I'll give you a discount, 28 a pound."

"Twenty-five! If your fish is really delicious, we will come here often in the future."

"That's okay. Two beauties are taking care of business. It should be cheaper."

There's no charge for nice words. Being called a beautiful girl by a handsome guy even made the little girl next to her, who didn't talk much, smile. It was obvious that they were very happy to be coaxed.

The two ordered the smallest star chicken fish, two pounds and three pounds, 57.5 yuan.

There is also an advantage to transferring money via mobile phone. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to wipe out any change.

The two young women thought they had taken advantage, so they were embarrassed to talk about it again.

"Beauty, should I help you kill this fish or should you go back and kill it yourself?"

"You help us kill him!"

"Okay~"

Gu Nan carried the fish to the water pipe on the left side of the door. This is where he kills fish. He handled the fish very quickly, put it in a bag and handed it to the woman with long brown hair.

"Beauty, I still have a lot of imported seafood that hasn't arrived here. You can come over and have a look next time you want to eat fish."

"Okay!" The woman with long brown hair took the bag, looked at him and said suddenly, "Actually, boss, you are quite handsome, but you are a bit darker."

After saying that, the two women waved to him and then left happily.

"."

Is this praising him or hurting him?
  Gu Nan shook his head in amusement and returned to the store.

When he was studying, he was very popular with female classmates. Unfortunately, since he started fishing as a hobby, his fair complexion has gone forever.

Although it's not particularly black, it really has nothing to do with white.

It was already time to get off work, and the seafood market was gradually becoming lively.

Gu Nan returned to the bar and before he could sit down, another customer came in. He hurried over to entertain them.

There is not much seafood in the store, and many customers want to leave after just one glance. At this time, his mouth is really needed to come on stage.

Although his level of mouth escape is not high, fortunately, he has a large customer base at night. With the quantity of the star chicken fish and golden barracuda that he mainly recommends, he can easily sell out all of them. By the way, the original inventory in the store is also Sold some.

The busy hours in the evening are only from 5:00 to 6:30, so the place closes very early. Many shops close at 7:00, and the later ones close at 8:00.

During the fishing ban period, special cold chain trucks will deliver goods to your doorstep. After the fishing ban period, it will be busier. When the fishing boats come back at night, it is the time for bosses like them to pick the goods.

Gu Nan sat at the bar and began to count today's income. All ten fish had been sold.

Star chicken and fish are sold for 25 per catty. Which customer comes here and doesn't cut the price? This is why he asked for 30. The overall cost is the same as before.

Four golden barracudas weighing 14.5 kilograms each cost 20 yuan per kilogram, and the total income was 290 yuan.

The tariff and value-added tax are only over 20, plus the money from selling other seafood, Gu Nan's total income today exceeds 700.

Business has been bleak recently. This is the first time since the loss that the income has exceeded daily expenses. Gu Nan is finally relieved.

I believe that as the game level increases and subsequent functions are opened, he will only earn more and more in the future.
