Chapter 0007: Shrimp to Shrimp

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Thus, after hearing Aomu Yang's words, he grinned menacingly and said: "Malagobi, a dead duck is stubborn, you have a big lobster, I will give you the big lobster here..."

Ten thousand yuan? That's outrageous, it's akin to murder.

A customer arrived, and despite having a face full of acne, he couldn't afford to bicker with Ao Mu Yang. He quickly smiled and said: "Oh, Boss Song, you came to the market in person? Here to buy lobsters? Just take a look, take a look, these are all freshly caught from the deep sea, how's the size? Pretty big, right?"

Two lobsters, each over 40 centimeters long, are displayed before the crowd. The lobsters' shells are vividly colored, and their long antennae are vigorously waving, clearly full of vitality

Aomu Yang cast a sidelong glance at him and said, "Who said that I have crayfish here? I have lobsters, and they are bigger than yours"

His words sound somewhat weak, and the youth with acne would not believe him

Immediately, someone sneered: "Not to mention that their shrimp is unprecedentedly large, just look at the patterns on the shell of their shrimp, it is a colorful galaxy that has never appeared on the ornate lobster, one in a million, you are just an ordinary lobster, okay?"

Boss Song examined the exquisite lobster with his hands behind his back, and finally shook his head, saying: "Too small"

The young man with acne raised a finger and said: "Not a penny more, not a penny less, 10,000 yuan!"

With the ongoing debate, more customers have been attracted

He pointed at Ao Mu Yang and said with righteous indignation: "Damn it, from Longtou Village, let me tell you not to mess around in front of me, take your little crayfish and get lost!"

Thus, some individuals developed ill intentions. They raised small crayfish in rice fields and then selected the larger ones to sell under the guise of being juvenile lobsters. After all, during the peak season, small crayfish sell for only a few dozen yuan per kilogram, while lobsters can fetch prices of seventy to eighty yuan or more.

I want this one on the left, how much is it

How much is it? This shrimp is good, please quote a price, boss

This is a disgrace, and Ao Fugui mentioned it to Ao Mu Yang yesterday

After a brief moment of astonishment, the market erupted

The young man with acne became furious and shouted: "What the hell, what are you doing..."

Yesterday, he learned from Wang Dongliang while on the boat that Ao Mu Yang had just returned from out of town. He understood that Ao Mu Yang currently had neither a boat nor fishing gear, which is why he confidently asserted that it was impossible for Ao Mu Yang to catch the extremely rare large lobsters found in the nearby sea today

Where did this shrimp come from? What is the price?

"You might as well go rob a bank; can this lobster really sell for 10,000 yuan?"

Faced with a cacophony of doubts, the young man with acne remained composed: "Yes, Boss Song, as you mentioned, the price of 5,000 yuan was last year's quote; this year, it is not the same price."

The pimple-faced person chuckled and said, "I was just joking, Boss Song. You are an expert, and of course, you know that this thing cannot be artificially cultivated, which is why it is so expensive"

Looking at the crowd, he continued, "I sell it for 10,000 yuan, which is a bargain. You all have seen the news, right? In Minnan, someone caught a seven-jin shrimp and sold it for 600,000 yuan!"

Some people couldn't believe it and rubbed their eyes on the spot: "My goodness, is this a trick of the light? Half a meter long Chinese lobster? I've been at sea for twenty years and have never encountered anything like this!"

Aomu Yang whistled, and the general called back the explosive-haired dog, giving a warning glare to the pockmarked-faced youth before leaving, the meaning of the warning quite evident.

The young man with acne was knocked back two steps with a cry of anguish, and his companions immediately surrounded him, watching with predatory intent

The crowd that had originally gathered around the young man with acne quickly shifted their attention to Ao Mu Yang, bombarding him with questions

Seeing so many people interested in lobsters, Ao Mu Yang also became spirited. He asked a middle-aged man wearing a gold chain and an Hermès belt, "Boss, would you like to buy some large lobsters?"

His stall has quite a number of lobsters, mostly Australian lobsters and American Maine lobsters, with only three or two exquisite lobsters displayed like deities at the highest point

Aomu Yang also discovered that the general is a good dog. It is uncertain whether this is due to the inner elixir, but it is remarkably obedient and has a certain spirit. Its appearance is also improving, looking more spirited today than yesterday

Ultimately, this transaction was exposed and reported, leading to several individuals from Longtou Village being apprehended on the spot by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau

Boss Song's eyes lit up as he asked, "How much are these shrimp?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Mu Yang, feeling no need to say more, directly lifted the lid of the foam box

Boss Song also shook his head: "The price is too inflated. Last year, I bought a similar-sized one for only 5,000."

Good dog! Immediately, someone nearby cheers.

Pimple-faced person rubbed their hands and said: "Boss Song, do you want a large order? Alright, I will bring out the treasure of the store!"

Oh, is there still such good stuff here with Xiao Wang

He turned around and called out, and someone carefully brought out a fish tank from the colored steel tile house, inside which lay a large ornamental lobster measuring over 30 centimeters.

Upon hearing his words, those around began to laugh

Immediately, several customers searching for lobsters gathered around, and the inquiries about prices came one after another

Boss Song, who was plump, smacked his lips and said: "The size is acceptable, but you claim that this exquisite lobster was caught from the deep sea? Surely, you must have raised it yourselves, right?"

Aomu Yang, unafraid, said: "What? Are you trying to play tricks? Did your parents not teach you that integrity is the most important principle in business? Have you abandoned integrity?"

It is truly rare that this thing can enter the aquarium now, let me take a photo and post it on my social media.

In fact, the true masterminds behind this trade are Wangjia Village and some major merchants, but they possess power, influence, and connections, thus managing to extricate themselves from this matter, while several fishermen from Longtou Village unfortunately became scapegoats

However, similar to the characteristic of resembling the appearance of large and small yellow croakers, the appearance of large and small lobsters is also quite similar, making it difficult for those unfamiliar with them to distinguish between the two

Lobsters are divided into large lobsters and small lobsters. Although their names are similar, they are not the same species, just as large yellow croakers and small yellow croakers are not the same. No matter how much a small lobster grows, it cannot become a large lobster, just as a small yellow croaker cannot become a large yellow croaker no matter how much it grows

This is truly a treasure of the store; we haven't encountered such a large exquisite shrimp this year, have we

Upon hearing this quotation, those who came in response gasped in astonishment

The young man with a smug expression and acne burst into laughter upon hearing his words. He said, "The bosses here all want to buy large lobsters. What's wrong, do you have any? Oh, right, your Longtou Village is famous for producing large lobsters. Last year, the large lobsters from the rice fields in Longtou Village made quite a name for themselves in the market"

Regardless of the circumstances, the people of Longtou Village are at a disadvantage in this matter. Ao Mu Yang does not engage in a war of words with the one with acne; instead, he asks the middle-aged man from Hermes: "Boss, how big of a shrimp do you want?"

Aomu Yang ignored the quotation, instructing the general to keep an eye on the lobsters while he himself walked up to the young man with acne and began to scoop up the lobsters

As soon as these two lobsters appeared, the street sounded like a truck tire deflating, with a loud hissing noise that was quite remarkable

Upon seeing this, the surrounding fishmongers immediately began to discuss among themselves

The young man with acne felt at a disadvantage during the recent argument and has been harboring resentment. Now, seeing Ao Mu Yang not retorting, he assumes that he is feeling guilty and intends to take the opportunity to strike while he is down

Aomu Yang despises it when others insult his parents. He swung his fist and struck back, saying sternly: "Watch your mouth, and we are all men here. A word is a nail, didn't you just say? Your lobsters all belong to me!"
