Chapter 741 is a bit expensive, but worth it
Just now when Li Xu said he would give a good price.
Chen Hui thought that the most he could give was eight dollars.
There are more than 60 kilograms of fish, and if the price is calculated at 8 yuan, he can make 400 to 500 yuan from this fish. He is already very satisfied.
"I told you, this is definitely a surprise price!"
"Brother Xu, give me the money. When have you ever lost face? Get in the car."
Li Xu stood up.
I saw a water tank nearby, so I went over and scooped out some water to wash my hands.
Seeing the small fish swimming in the water tank, he said with interest: "This small fish is very beautiful. Is it expensive?"
"If it wasn't expensive, he wouldn't have spent money to get oxygen and come back."
Chen Yaozu said casually.
Curious, I leaned over to take a look and said, "Hey, isn't this a red rose? How can you make this?"
"Is this fish delicious?!" Li Xu asked.
“Delicious, the meat is so tender!”
"It's mainly hard to find. I haven't seen one this year."
After Chen Yaozu finished speaking, he asked Chen Hui to catch the fish for him.
Li Xu also became interested, "If it's so delicious, I want a few too."
Neither of them even asked the price.
Chen Yaozu knew the market price.
Li Xu didn't care about the price at all. He felt that such a small fish, no matter how expensive it was, he could still afford it.
"Uncle Yaozu, Brother Xu, I'm so sorry."
"These fish, along with the crabs in the tank, are reserved for guests at home."
"It can be considered as a reservation. They came over and made the reservation last week."
Chen Hui shook his head and declined with a smile.
The big swordfish was sold.
Chen Hui planned to sell dozens of swimming crabs to Gongsun Hai.
All that was left for County Chief Xu were the three red flower crabs, two blue crabs, and these red roses.
If I sell it again, there will be nothing left to show for it.
The ones that are snatched back are more fragrant than the ones that are bought.
Li Xu still wanted it a little bit and offered to pay more.
He was rejected by Chen Hui again.
Chen Yaozu knew the rules of the market, nodded and said, "Okay, send it to me next time you have it."
"Didn't you say last time that your family also owns a restaurant? You even boasted that it was no worse than the state-owned restaurants."
"I'll go to your place for dinner tomorrow and see what it's like."
Speaking of leaving food for guests, Li Xu remembered this incident.
"Tomorrow is not possible. Today is Tuesday. The earliest will be the weekend or next Monday." Chen Hui said.
This is the first time I heard of a boss choosing the time for customers.
Li Xuren was stunned after hearing this.
"For seafood to taste good, the most important thing is that the ingredients are alive and fresh."
"All the seafood I cook in my restaurant is caught by myself on the boat."
"The wild game we cook is all hunted in the mountains by ourselves."
"It's hard to say what we can catch when we go up the mountains or down the sea."
"They all come a few days in advance, and I'll just come if I don't have any plans."
Although this Li Xu is a troublemaker.
But if you have money, you can give it straightforwardly.
Chen Hui patiently explained it again.
"Um"
Li Xu calculated his time in his mind.
We decided to have dinner at Chen Hui’s house next Monday.
I have to say this in advance.
After setting the meal time, Chen Hui explained the rules first.
There are two types of money for meals in his house.
The money for the vegetables is the money for the vegetables, and he will pay the money based on how much they are bought.
The price at which the caught seafood is sold is determined by the price at which it is sold.
For one meal, we charge an additional one hundred yuan for service.
"That's equivalent to not making any money from the vegetables. In fact, they are just charging a processing fee."
"One hundred yuan is quite expensive. If it really tastes better than the state-owned restaurants, it would be okay."
Li Xu hesitated for a few seconds, then accepted it.
Chen Hui was in charge of the dishes. Whatever was available was served, but there had to be a delicious dish that couldn't be found elsewhere.
"No problem. I'm best at making things like this that you can't get outside."
As for other things, I'm not so sure.
Want to make dishes that are not available outside?
Chen Hui was full of confidence.
"Okay! Pull the fish to the dock, weigh it and pay." Li Xu said simply.
Wu Guang and his friends came back after selling their fish.
I heard that the fish needs to be weighed.
I thought such a big fish would be much harder to carry than to scale it.
Go to Li Jiankang's stall and bring over his big scale.
And moved the fish to the dock.
As soon as the fish was placed on the large scale, people passing by immediately gathered around.
"Wow! Sixty-four pounds and seven ounces!"
"Is this a swordfish?! It's much bigger than the one Wu Gang caught last year."
The onlookers immediately started chatting.
Several people said that Wu Gang had been showing off for so long.
Less than a year later, the record was broken.
"Wu Gang seems to be at home today. Let's go! Let's go tell him the good news!"
Two villagers who liked to watch the fun invited each other to go together.
Most of the rest of the people were laughing as well.
"My wallet is in the car. Move the fish over and I'll pay you at the same time," said Li Xu.
"Okay! Uncle, come and give me a hand."
Chen Hui called Wu Shuisheng and together they moved the swordfish into the car.
Li Xu opened the car door and took out a long leather wallet.
He first took out six dozen bundles and handed them to Chen Hui, and then took out four ten-yuan notes and gave them to him.
Chen Hui weighed the money in his hand one by one.
Five bundles were handed over to Wu Shuisheng, who took one of the bundles and counted it, "Brother Xu, is there one missing?"
"Is this true? Your hand."
Li Xu was very surprised. He took the money and counted it twice. "Amazing! There is really one missing. How did you practice this trick?"
"When you get the money, feel the thickness first, then weigh it."
"You'll get the feel of it the more you practice." Chen Hui said with a smile.
When I first came back, I was used to handling hundred-dollar bills, so I was not sure about the ten-dollar denomination.
After touching it for so long, I figured out the difference in weight and thickness.
The lost technology has basically returned.
Li Xu first took out a ten-yuan note and gave it to Chen Hui to fill the missing note in the bundle.
Then he took out another five and gave them to him, "The change is four catties and seven ounces and three cents, so it counts as five catties for you."
"Four catties and seven ounces and three ounces, so it must be four catties to be reasonable."
Chen Hui said as he took four cards from his hand and left.
Li Xu looked at the remaining ten yuan in his hand, smiled and said, "You are quite interesting, young man."
"Brother Xu, are you leaving?" Chen Yaozu asked.
"gone!"
"Your name is Chen Hui, right? Let's go! Remember to prepare dinner next week."
As Li Xu spoke, he opened the passenger door and got in.
Chen Yaozu sat in the driver's seat, waved at him, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
"Hey, Shuisheng! That fish only weighs about 60 kilograms, why did you give so much money?"
"I calculated that one pound is more than five yuan."
"It's more than five dollars, even eight dollars is not that much."
"It's not ten yuan, is it? Ten yuan per pound?"
Chen Yaozu's car drove away.
The people who were watching the fun on the sidelines couldn't wait to surround him and grabbed Wu Shuisheng to question him.
"Chen Hui."
Wu Shuisheng didn't understand the situation either, and looked at Chen Hui questioningly with his eyes.
"Yes! Ten dollars a pound."
Chen Hui smiled happily.
He handed the remaining forty yuan to Wu Shuisheng and asked him to buy cigarettes for Wu Guang and the others.
