Chapter 6 Selling 1 Abalone

Not long ago, someone in Modu ate 400,000 yuan for a meal. It is said that there was an abalone on the table, but those were fresh abalones, which were far from being compared with dried abalones.

"China has a long history of eating abalone. There are records of celebrities eating abalone in the past dynasties, such as Wang Mang and Su Shi. Later, abalone was listed as one of the eight treasures." Liao Jie saw that Shen Long was very interested in this dried abalone , explained on the side.

"Dried abalone is a dried abalone made from fresh abalone after air-drying. It is a very valuable ingredient in seafood. Because of its complicated production process, it requires very strict craftsmanship. Master Ritsu Tamura from Aomori Prefecture in Japan is the master of abalone production. The master is also the president of the local net abalone association, and his family has been making net abalone for hundreds of years."

"Since modern times, due to industrial pollution and the development of fishing technology, many abalones have been fished out and eaten before they grow up. It is not easy to find such a dried abalone again." Liao Jie opened the box and let Shen Long can appreciate the abalone more intuitively, "I think such a big abalone must grow in the sea for at least 70 or 80 years."

"This one is huge and the abalone pillow is thick and plump, about the size of an adult's palm; the color is deep, and the beads on the skirt are thick and distinct. When you open the box, it exudes a strong flavor of dried abalone, and the appearance is good. Abalone is also the treasure of the shop." Shen Long nodded repeatedly after hearing these words.

It's only in the 1980s, and a dried abalone is so rare, wouldn't it be more valuable to take it back? I also spent a lot of money for this mission, wouldn't it be a good idea to bring something back to return to the book before leaving?

Thinking in his heart, Shen Long immediately offered to buy; if someone else said this, Liao Jie would definitely tell him to leave immediately. This is the treasure of our Yangzhou Building, how can we sell it as soon as we say it?

However, Shen Long had just saved his wife and children, and Liao Jie owed him a big favor. He immediately handed over the abalone to the manager and sold it to Shen Long. Yangzhou Tower is still a state-run restaurant, and if he owns it, he would give it to him directly. up.

The manager was a bit embarrassed at first, but after learning about Shen Long's identity as an overseas Chinese who returned to China, he immediately changed his mind and agreed. Letting overseas Chinese taste the delicacies of the motherland is also a political task!

So Shen Long spent all the US dollars he had prepared, and exchanged for this palm-sized dried abalone. He left immediately, went back to the White Swan Hotel to check out, and found a corner that no one noticed and chose to return.

Going through the gate of time and space and returning to the rental house, still holding the box containing the dried abalone in his arms, Shen Long came back to his senses and immediately turned on his mobile phone and connected to the Internet to search. Immediately, his eyes were brightened, and he sold a dry abalone with two ends for a year's income.

How much can I sell for this abalone? This one is twice as big as the two-headed abalone; the "number of heads" refers to the number of abalones with a uniform size of one sima jin (604.79 grams). , then this is the ten-headed abalone.

Naturally, the two-headed abalone weighs two 600 grams, but the one in Shen Long's hand weighs more than one catty, and its value is several times that of the two-headed abalone. Compared with the little expenses he spent on obtaining false certificates and buying old-style US dollars, the craftsmanship of twice the annual salary is definitely a lot of money.

It is still necessary to hurry up and sell the things. The rented place of Shen Long is full of good and evil people, and they might be lost that day if they are left at home. It is better to exchange them for money earlier to be more at ease.

Since the origin of the abalone was unknown, it was not easy for him to find an auction house, so he thought of those famous restaurants in central Beijing. Since Yangzhou Building would always put this abalone at the door as the treasure of the store, then these restaurants must also Are you willing to spend a lot of money to buy it? This works better than any advertisement.

I checked several restaurants in Beijing that are famous for abalone on the Internet, and Shen Long finally chose Ah Yi Abalone. First, I heard what Liao Jie said just now. Second, Shen Long just saw people commenting on Ah Yi Abalone on the Internet. ,

As long as Yang Guanyi is still alive, it is meaningless to discuss who cooks the best abalone in the world. This proves that Ah Yi's abalone is the top abalone cooker.

As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes, and red powder is given to beauties. It seems that selling an abalone to Ah Yi abalone is the best destination for it. Moreover, this store has been famous for a long time and has a clean foundation. Don’t worry too much about being hacked. ;Of course, if the price they offer doesn't satisfy you, then that's another story.

Shen Long carefully checked the box containing the abalone, and found nothing that could reveal its origin, so he found a bag to pack it, and took an express car to Ayi Abalone.

When we arrived at the restaurant, it was not time for meals yet. Shen Long said directly to the manager in the lobby, "Call your manager to come out. I have dried abalone made by Mr. Riki Tamura, the master of Japanese online abalone, and I want to sell it to you."

"Please sit down and rest for a while, I'll call our manager right away." A person who can be the manager of the lobby at Ah Yi Abalone naturally knows a lot about Abalone, and upon hearing the name, he invited Shen Long to the lounge without hesitation, turned around and walked away. Go get the manager.

After a while, a well-built middle-aged man walked in, "Your Majesty Yang Wanglong, I am the general manager of this store. Excuse me, do you have Master Tamura Rik's net abalone that you want to sell to us?"

"Well, a net abalone, I thought it would be most suitable to sell it to you in the capital." Shen Long didn't talk nonsense, and directly took the box out of the bag and put it on the coffee table.

"One netted abalone?" Yang Wanglong almost laughed, you are not fooling me with South African fresh abalone, now you can find a Japanese netted abalone there!

But when he saw what Shen Long took out, his eyeballs almost fell out, it was really a dried abalone! How long ago was the last time I saw this thing? Fifteen years ago or twenty years ago?

"I didn't expect to see an abalone again in my lifetime. This gentleman, can you open it for me to have a look?" After obtaining Shen Long's permission, Yang Wanglong put on his gloves, held out an abalone, and held a magnifying glass to measure it one millimeter at a time. Millimeter looked at it carefully, and the lobby manager behind him couldn't help stretching his neck to look at it.

He has been working in Ah Yi Abalone for more than ten years, but this is the first time he has seen an abalone.

Shen Long didn't speak, and drank the tea silently. After drinking tea three times in a row, Yang Wanglong put the abalone back into the box. Stay too, sir, please make an offer!"

Hearing these words, the lobby manager frowned for a while, isn't this clearly intended to be killed by others? But Yang Wanglong doesn't care at all, as long as he buys this abalone and puts it in the store, he can earn back any money.

Shen Long was stunned when he said this, how much should I ask for?
