Chapter 335: Fish Market

A day later, Luo first came to the coastal town of Grayport. The time given by King was three days, but Luo arrived at Grayport two days earlier.

Most of the coastal towns rely on fishing as their main source of income, and the same is true of Gray Harbor, which has a famous [Fish Market] event.

Every Sunday, the fishing boats that go out to sea return to the port one after another, unloading all the harvest that lasted a week to the market not far from the port.

Conventional seafood is set at a regular price, while special seafood is auctioned at zero starting price. This is the [Fish Market] in Gray Harbor, which is only open once a week.

Special seafood is basically a rare thing for fishermen, and it is usually a seafood treasure that can be included in the hierarchy. I don’t know if the fishermen in Port Gray are favored by the sea god, and they can catch some strange seafood every week.

Because of the grand occasion created by the [Fish Market], on Sundays, a large number of outsiders would flood into Gray Harbor all of a sudden, all of them came for the special seafood.

Among this group of outsiders, more than half are people sent by well-known restaurants or hotels in other places, and there are also wealthy people who like food who send their subordinates to try their luck.

Although it is a fair bid, in the eyes of local restaurants, this group of outsiders is still positioned as predators.

Luo came to Port Gray that day, just in time for the opening of the [Fish Market], so he went over to join in the fun.

The layout of the fish market is like a large-scale job fair, with simple-looking sheds arranged in an orderly manner.

Different from ordinary markets, the fish market covers a large enough area, and the roads between the sheds are also wide enough, which seems to be designed to accommodate many talents.

If it is only opened once a week, it will give people a feeling of waste, which is equivalent to using such a large area only four times a month, but the fish market does have this capital, and every time it is opened, it will generate a large amount of income.

Walking into the fish market, there is a lot of voices, most of which are the conversations between customers and vendors, and there are also many voices. Thanks to the wide enough passage, even though there are many people coming and going, it will not appear crowded.

On Luo's head was a straw hat that was so dusty, a short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, boxer pants on his lower body, and a pair of flip flops. A black cat with silver eyes sat on his shoulder. The whole style looked quite nondescript. .

Walking all the way, I saw more than a hundred kinds of seafood. This is only the result of just shopping for a while. I don’t know how many kinds of seafood there will be in this huge fish market.

"How many fish will I buy for you?" Luo said as he walked.

The black cat raised its head and snorted, "Is it just these broken things?"

"Broken things? May I ask if you can afford them?" Luo sneered.

The black cat froze and stopped talking.

Although there are many types of seafood on the fish market stalls, they are not what Luo wants. After walking around for a while, he went straight to the auction venue in the center of the fish market, where the bulk is.

One of the more famous features of the fish market is that its area is large enough, and the auction venue where the big prize is located is also empty, but even if the area is large enough, whenever the fish market is open, it is always crowded. people.

Most people come to the fish market in Port Gray specially for the precious ingredients that can be included in the grade. Sometimes, if they are lucky, they can encounter some seafood that they have never seen before.

"There are so many people."

Luo barely squeezed into the venue, only to see that the seats in the venue were already full, while others were standing, almost filling up the entire venue.

Before entering the venue, one has to pay 1,000 ring nuns in exchange for a number plate. After the auction is over, the money can be refunded based on the number plate.

The number of the sign Luo got was 42666, just hold the sign before bidding.

Because each special seafood is different, fish market auctions are not like regular auctions. Participants will be given an auction booklet in advance. Before the auction items are presented, no one knows what the good things are today .

There were still about 20 minutes before the auction started, Luo started to squeeze forward in order to get a little ahead, and the black cat guy saw that Luo wanted to make canned sardines, so he slipped back into the tattoo.

There is a huge LCD screen on the auction platform and a loudspeaker that can be heard by everyone in the venue. Even so, there are still many people who want to squeeze to the front row just like Luo.

In the process of poking through the crowd, Luo accidentally knocked over a little girl.

Luo was about to apologize, but saw the little girl get up quickly, and said angrily to Luo, "Don't you have eyes?"

As she said that, the little girl gave Luo a fierce look, and without giving Luo a chance to speak, she pushed the people in front of her away with both hands, and walked towards the auction platform.

Luo lifted his finger to the edge of the straw hat, looked at the direction where the little girl disappeared, and smiled helplessly.

The little girl looked to be only about ten years old, she had the number plate inserted in the clothes behind her, and the body of the number plate was just hanging above the back of her head. sense of sight.

This small child also came to join in the fun?

Luo shook his head, but he didn't know that the age of his current body was also in the ranks of minors.

After a lot of effort, he finally squeezed ahead and offended many people along the way, but seeing that Luo was very young, he didn't care about it.

The auction stage is a huge stage, one meter higher, and there is only a podium on the stage. There is no wooden hammer for the auction on it, and there is only one microphone.

A display screen was hung above the stage, and there were speakers on the left and right sides. A middle-aged man with a mustache in a suit came out from the backstage. Shi Shiran came to the podium and said, "Welcome all guests."

First, an opening remark according to the usual practice, and then directly cut to the topic.

"In today's auction, there are a few very special seafood. Everyone who can come to the scene must know that the fish market has always had another special case, that is, the one with the highest price wins."

"Let's not talk nonsense, let's go to the first special auction item, the dolphin!"

As soon as the man with the mustache finished speaking, the staff rolled out ten cars, each of which was piled with a lot of ice, and on the ice was a spherical creature covered with four feet long spikes, which was the sea creature. Porpoise.

"This week's luck is very good. I caught up with the'wave' and captured ten dolphins at once!"

"That's right, this is the porcupine dolphin, known as one of the treasures of the deep sea. However, the porcupine dolphin is highly poisonous. If you want to eat it, you have to remove the poison bag in the body. This requires superb and stable skills. If the poisonous porcupine If the bag removal fails, the dolphin's whole body will be covered with poison in an instant."

"There are ten dolphins here. According to the rule of the highest skill, if there is a customer who can successfully remove the poison bag, he will get half of the income of the ten dolphins. On the contrary, if he fails, he will get the failure product." Buy dolphins at a good price."

The man with the mustache smiled decently, looked around at the guests present, and said, "Please think carefully before deciding whether to go on stage or not."

"I come!"

At this time, a clear and tender female voice came out from the audience. Following the voice, it was a little girl in her teens who squeezed out of the crowd, like a kitten, jumped over the set railing and walked down the stairs. on stage.

The audience at the scene looked at this little girl with pink hair, and the audience fell silent. Not only was the other party's behavior beyond everyone's expectations, but the auction card with the number marked was inserted behind her, and she was standing on the stage again at this time, as if she had become a girl. One of the auction items.

"It's her, didn't she hear the rules clearly?"

Luo looked at the little girl on the stage with a look of surprise.
