The next day, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin both got up early and stayed at the Huangpu River Hotel next to the Huangpu River.
¡°Woooo~woooo~¡±
In the morning, the whistle on the Huangpu River kept ringing, which made Emperor Hongzhi very curious.
¡°Let¡¯s go and have a look at the pier on the shore.¡±
Even before breakfast, Emperor Hongzhi was full of energy for the new day and walked directly to the dock with Liu Jin.
¡°It has such a strong fishy smell.¡±
Before reaching the pier, Liu Jin smelled a strong fishy smell.
When I arrived at the pier, I realized that the pier was very lively. A large number of fishmongers were either driving four-wheeled carriages or three-wheeled motorcycles, and some were coming here on motorcycles and bicycles. Fish are being collected, and the fishing boats here at the pier are also very busy. Baskets of seafood are constantly being transported down, filling the pier.
The largest number of large yellow croakers, small yellow croakers, hairtail fish and cuttlefish are found in baskets and baskets. The large and small yellow croakers look golden and very bright in color.
In addition to these four kinds of fish, there are also many kinds of fish such as crabs, shrimps, groupers, etc. There are so many types that it is dazzling to see. Only those who specialize in the marine fish business can distinguish them. Know the price of each type of fish.
"Big yellow croaker, big yellow croaker!"
"The price for 10 baskets has increased, the price for 10 baskets has increased!"
The captain of the fishing boat pointed at a pile of large yellow croakers and kept shouting.
It can be seen that these baskets are all standard baskets with the same size, so the fish that can be contained in each basket are almost the same, and there is not much change. Naturally, fishermen like them do not have time to weigh each basket. When the time comes, this place will be given over to cargo ships. Time is very tight, and the catch is sold through bidding and auction. 强牺 75zworg.com 读牺
Ordinary goods like large yellow croaker are not valuable, they are very cheap, costing three to four cents per catty. One basket can usually hold about 100 catties, which is between 300 to 400 cents. 10 baskets is about 3,000 to 4,000 cents. between.
Of course, that¡¯s based on the retail price. It¡¯s cheaper here, usually only 2 cents.
The output of this thing is large and the supply is sufficient. Of course, there are also a large number of consumer groups. Everyone likes to eat it. It is cheap, and the meat quality of large yellow croaker is extremely delicious. It will not be worse than other sea fish. In future generations, the price of large yellow croaker will be The price has been so high that ordinary people cannot afford it.
Of course, that is also because over-fishing in later generations has led to the depletion of fishery resources and the sharp decline in the number of large yellow croakers, so things are rare and valuable.
Now the Ming Dynasty is different. Fishing has only just started, less than 20 years ago. In addition, fishing is far less developed than later generations.
Therefore, the fishery resources of the Ming Dynasty are extremely rich, especially the four major fishing grounds in the world are all in the hands of the Ming Empire, allowing the people of the Ming Dynasty to have endless seafood and catches.
"2000 Wen!"
As the captain spoke, someone immediately raised their hands to bid.
"2100 Wen~"
"2200 Wen~"
Soon, two people looked at the catch carefully and said, adding an extra 200 yuan, but no one bid again after that.
The production of large yellow croaker is too large, and Songhu¡¯s consumption capacity is only so much. 2,200 yuan is enough. If it is higher, it may lead to losses and less profit.
Baskets of catches were constantly being bought through bidding, and the four-wheeled carriages, tricycles, etc. nearby also quickly left with baskets of catches.
They have to rush to the vegetable market or a special sales point to sell it.
There is no ice in this era, and fish must be fresh, so everything must be raced against time to sell these fish in time for everyone to buy vegetables in the morning, so as not to lose money.
By noon, the price will no longer be affordable. Once it is delayed until night, the fish will stink and it will have to be thrown away.
Ordinary catches are cheap, but sales are very good, and everyone has a tacit understanding. If you bid, others will rarely compete.
But when you encounter some precious catches, the competition is quite fierce. There are restaurants that specialize in seafood and they are the most willing to bid. As long as they encounter expensive and rare catches, they will not hesitate. Make an offer and get it.
Sometimes restaurants rely on these signature dishes to operate, and they have to be expensive, because they are not cheap anyway.
&nb??Not very big.
It was different in later generations. The population was dense, the consumer market was booming, the price of seafood remained high, and ocean fishing was very profitable. This gave rise to people's wanton fishing, and nets were used for every household, and people went into the sea regardless of the ban on fishing seasons. Fishing and more.
In the end, the fishery resources in the ocean gradually became less and less, no one caught fish, and the price of seafood became higher and higher.
"Our fishing grounds in Daming, the first one is definitely our Zhoushan fishery, followed by our Qiandao fishery in the north of Daming. There are also a lot of fish caught there, but they are far away from our mainland of Daming, so transportation is inconvenient. When they are shipped here, they are already smelly. It fell off, so no one went fishing anywhere, that is, people from the Japanese country went to catch fish, and then transported them to the Japanese country to sell." Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
"In addition, I heard that the northern fishing grounds here in Huangjinzhou are also very rich in fishery resources. However, they sell the fish as salted fish. The price is cheap. They are all cold-water fish. The meat is extremely delicious and has fish bones. It¡¯s still a little, but it¡¯s pretty good.¡±
"The ones that really sell fresh fish are the Bohai Sea fisheries, the Yellow Sea fisheries and our Zhoushan fisheries. They are close to the mainland and have a large consumer market. I heard that there are a lot of marine fish in Nanyang, including various kinds of prawns. In addition, overseas, Australia The abalone from Bian and South Africa are also very famous.¡±
Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was interested, Mr. Pan also talked endlessly about the fishing grounds of the Ming Dynasty
