Chapter 287 Jetting
The three Ye Yaodong brothers talked excitedly all the way, and couldn't bear to take their eyes off the giant squid.
"If this can be caught alive, it must be more valuable."
"If it was alive, the whip you received in front of it would probably make you fall down directly, and its tentacles are not vegetarian. If you directly entangle you, it can...you can't bear it."
Originally wanted to say "I can strangle you to death", but Ye Yaodong stopped in time, saying that death is unlucky for Chinese New Year.
Brother Ye chuckled, "I just said casually, I was taken aback by the fact that this thing is half dead. If it is still alive, no one would dare to approach it."
Second Brother Ye also smiled and said, "Brother, don't be greedy. If you can meet him, you will be very lucky. Fortunately, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the seaside is very windy, so there are not many people coming to the beach. Otherwise, if you are caught by a group of people at the same time I found that there is probably still a commotion."
Ye Yaodong nodded in agreement. Fortunately, there is no one at the beach today, so there is no need to argue with others.
Besides, fish and shrimp in the sea generally die when they land on the shore, and the squid is the same. As long as it is fresh, it will not affect the sale. Crabs, Pipi shrimp, octopus, etc. will be more tenacious.
What's more, the size of this king squid is there, and people will be surprised when they see it.
"Dongzi, should we stop selling this king squid on the street? Wouldn't it be better to sell it on the street and attract more bosses to bid for it? Just like you sold the oarfish last time?"
"Yes, the more people compete, the higher the sales price."
"Come on, you got enough limelight by yelling along the street last time, and you were followed by a group of gangsters. You almost couldn't come back, so you should keep a low profile. The Hongsheng prince seems to be a good character, and he has dealt with him a few times. It shouldn’t be too much, if the bid is too low, we don’t have to sell it and change to another hotel, and he’s not the only hotel in the town.”
I have been targeted once, and if I do it again, I won’t be able to come back. Maybe new and old grudges will be counted together, and it will be short of arms and short legs.
No need, no need, lesson learned.
Besides, Hong Wenle's character looks really good. Last time, he bought Angong Niuhuang Pills for him. This time, he sent him a good product, which is considered a favor.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's not peaceful these days, it's better to keep a low profile, it's better to send it directly to the hotel, it doesn't matter if you sell it for a little less, safety first." Brother Ye said quickly.
Although they were not there at the time, they heard about it when they returned from the sea, and they asked their father to pick them up by boat. I heard that it was very dangerous, and even Uncle Zhou was beaten when he came back empty.
Second brother Ye also thought of it, "Yes, yes, let's not take risks."
"Um."
The tractor bumped and drove slowly towards the town. The current road is really bad. This is still a big road, rickety. The king squid was shaken and moved several times. Fortunately, the ropes in their hands Its tentacles are still tied, otherwise it will really be shaken off.
Even so, it was shaken and moved a bit. They stopped and moved it halfway, otherwise it might really fall if it bumped for a while.
The three of them kept an eye out, and after entering the town, the road conditions improved a bit.
They had already told Uncle Zhou to go directly to the Hongsheng Hotel. Uncle Zhou knew how good he was after suffering a loss, so he wanted to take the road with few people.
But then I saw that the shops on the main road were closed, except for a few Taiwanese goods stores and small shops, there were no people there, and the hawkers had also rested during the Chinese New Year, so I felt relieved and boldly walked on the main road.
The tractor stopped at the back door of the hotel without any surprises, and other places closed down. It is impossible for a place like a hotel to close down.
Ye Yaodong asked them to wait at the back door first, and he went in to have a look. At least he knew that fat man Wang Maoquan.
Fortunately, that fat man did not look down on people with dog eyes. He may have dealt with him a few times. When he saw him, he was only surprised and looked at him with a smile.
"Happy Chinese New Year, what's the matter? Another item has been delivered, should we find our young master?"
"Happy Chinese New Year. I've been looking for you. I haven't seen you for a few days. Manager Wang's face is getting redder and brighter. It looks like he's going to be lucky."
"Hehehe... New Year's Eve, whoever looks unhappy, the mental outlook must be different from usual, don't you also have a beaming face, this is another good thing happened?"
"Hahaha, Manager Wang's mouth is really auspicious, no wonder he can be the manager of such a big hotel, it's a university question."
Wang Maoquan was really flattered by his truth, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, "Tell me what's going on, I don't have time to talk to you here for a long time."
"Come, come, there is something good for you to see, at the back door, let's come out and talk about it."
"What a good thing, you can just say it..."
Ye Yaodong saw that he was quite talkative today, so he put his shoulders on his shoulders and walked out, "You have to see this with your own eyes. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you won't believe it."
"If it's not some rare thing that wastes my time, how can I deal with you?"
"Just don't let your eyes fall out later..."
"Stop talking big, I have a lot more knowledge than you, what rare things have I never seen here?"
"Have you ever seen an oarfish?"
Wang Maoquan was at a loss for words, and he gave him a sideways glance as he walked, "Could it be that you made another one?"
"That's really not..."
Wang Maoquan gave him a look of "That's it!"
Ye Yaodong smirked, and before walking into the tractor, he put his hands on his eyes and blindfolded him.
"Ah, what are you doing? What are you doing? It doesn't matter whether it's big or small. You kid is getting too much, so I can't give you a good face. If it weren't for the fact that our young master has a good impression of you, I can give you a good look." nice face..."
Ye Yaodong pushed him a bit when he was grabbing his hand, and pushed him to the front of the tractor before taking his hand away from his eyes.
Wang Maoquan was still dissatisfied with cursing at first, but he was even more unhappy after being pushed.
Just twisted half of the neck, before the body turned around, it was stuck forcibly, and then I straightened it again in disbelief, and looked in front of me.
"Touch it to see if it's real or not? This one is called King Squid, but it's actually a squid, so it's also called King Squid."
Wang Maoquan actually touched its tentacles when he heard the words. They were slippery and sticky, and they were quite elastic when squeezed. This is obviously true...
He was very surprised, "Grass! Is there really such a big squid in this world? How many meters is it?"
"Do you still think I'm going too far? Manager Wang, hey, are you surprised? Are you surprised? Are you satisfied with this big guy?"
Wang Maoquan glared at him angrily, and then smiled, "You are really bold, you really have to rely on yourself to dare to be so big or small."
"Haha, I was just joking with you, wouldn't it be more surprising? Right?"
Wang Maoquan stretched out his index finger, smiled and tapped him twice in mid-air. He didn't say anything, but turned his head and continued to look at the king squid on the tractor.
"Have you measured this big squid? Do you know how many meters? How much does it weigh?"
"No, I just caught it. It was still alive before and could move a few times. It should be dead now. You can find something to measure it and check it on the scale. I don't know how long it weighs?"
"Wait."
After he finished speaking, he rushed into the house like a gust of wind. How could he be so flexible that he was a short and fat man?
After a while, two people came out pushing a large scale, and someone behind was carrying a board.
"Just put it here, this is fine, leave a little space here..."
Wang Maoquan ordered people to put the scale and the board in place first, and then he said to Ye Yaodong with a smile: "Brother, I have already sent someone to call our young master, this big guy still has to be in charge, let's measure the size first , Weigh it first, the wooden board just now weighs 6 catties, and it will be deducted directly later."
"Okay, you ask your guys to help lift it. This giant squid weighs several hundred catties, and it is very heavy, so it is not easy to lift."
"Go, you all go together to help carry it."
Everyone carefully put this big guy on the wooden board steadily. As soon as it was put on it, the scale rod hit the top with a thud.
The wooden board put on it is still not big enough, only the body of the king squid can be placed, and its head and tentacles are still hanging to the ground.
They adjusted and moved carefully, and then put his head and tentacles on the wooden board.
This weighing was also terrible. The weights were added and added, and then changed again. Four 50 kg and one 10 kg were stacked, and it was almost impossible to stack.
At the time when they thought they needed to change the weights, the scale rod floated for a while, then drooped a little, and then swung a few times in the middle.
"Hey, 411 catties, 6 catties deducted from the plank, this king squid weighs 405 catties."
Ye Yaodong looked at the scale with bright eyes. He guessed that it should be three or four hundred catties, but he didn't expect it to be over 400 catties.
Be good, this king squid is the heaviest one I have caught so far!
Grass, actually weighs 405 catties!
Just when everyone was amazed at its weight, a few young men and women hurried out from the back door of the hotel.
"Where's the giant squid?"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't surround yourself..."
Wang Maoquan immediately waved away the crowd of guys, with a smile on his face, and greeted him, "Young master..."
"Wow, it's really big..."
"Huh? There really is such a big squid..."
Now it was the turn of a group of sons and daughters to be amazed. They had never seen such a big king squid.
"Good guy, the body is so long, if you add the tentacles, it must be ten meters?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... It's the first time I've seen such a big squid. I don't know what it tastes like. Is it delicious?"
"It's a pity that I didn't eat the oarfish last time. I must try it this time..."
Hong Wenle was also very excited when he saw it. He is also a seaside person. He doesn’t like seafood. There is really no seafood that he has not eaten. The oarfish was missed last time. No one will argue with him this time. .
He looked at Ye Yaodong with a smile, "Sure enough, you still have the ability, you can get all kinds of good things, rare things!"
"Ahaha...it's just good luck..." He said modestly, it was indeed luck in the first place, it was this big king squid who came to him.
"Luck is also a part of strength. Not everyone has your luck. I am optimistic about you. If there are such Big Macs in the future, I will send them all!"
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "This kind of thing is very rare. It's hard to come by. How can I guarantee it?"
"Furthermore, besides, how much does this weigh?"
"405 catties! The length hasn't been measured yet..."
"Good guy, I'll do the length!"
Hong Wenle excitedly took the tape measure and planned to do it himself. Such a big squid makes me excited just thinking about it. This is the first one in the whole town, county and city, and he is not sure about other places.
"Go and get a camera and take a few more photos later. There is also a tape measure to measure its body first, then its head and antennae..."
He was smiling all over his face, squatting next to the head of the king squid with a big grin on his face.
But at this moment, the two tentacles of the king squid, or should be said to be the stem-like arms, suddenly ejected a large number of sperm pods...
And it sprayed directly on someone squatting in front of it...
