Before Zhang Tie opened his mouth, Boss Du had already taken out a booklet and passed it to Zhang Tie respectfully, saying, "Here are the items that our fish store could provide. Please take a look. Cuttlefish bones, starfish ashes, abalone shells, pufferfish livers, variegated toads, hawksbill turtles, ball fish livers, coral, seven-star eel, seahorse, kelp, stone cauliflower, seaweed, partridge, sargassum, etc. If you need some rare items such as jasper beads, sea ginseng and colorful sea snakes, you need to make an appointment. We could also dispatch people to catch them; however, they would be a bit more expensive. Additionally, they would arrive late. You could leave your address. When the goods arrive, I will have someone invite you to check them …"
After being stunned for a second, Zhang Tie didn't open the booklet; instead, he put it on the table with a smile. Although the items mentioned by Boss Du were marine products, they were mostly used to be medicinal materials. Zhang Tie estimated that many people in Tigerback Town were used to buy various kinds of medicinal materials from the sea here. Therefore, Boss Du treated Zhang Tie as someone who came here to buy medicinal materials.
"I'm not here to buy medicinal materials!" Zhang Tie shook his head, "I'm here to buy some common marine products!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry …" Boss Du became stunned as he hurriedly put away the booklet. After glancing at Zhang Tie once again, he asked carefully with a big smile, "May I know where your boite is? Do you want to order the required ingredients?"
"I'm not running a boite!" Zhang Tie shook his head.
Boss Du became stunned once again. However, he still asked patiently, "What kind of marine products do you want, sir?"
"How about taking a look at the warehouse of Fish Store?"
"Fine, please … please …" After sitting down for less than 2 minutes, the two people had sprung up once again. Boss Du led Zhang Tie out of the back door of the room and led him to the warehouse of Fish Store, namely, those rows of bamboo sheds.
There were dozens of kinds of seafood in the fish shop. There were all kinds of fish, shrimps, shells, and even shellfish. They were all categorized and the supply was plentiful and fresh. Some workers were busy working under the bamboo sheds.
Zhang Tie followed Boss Du around the bamboo shed for a short while before coming to the edge of a fish pond covering over 20 square meters. The fish pond was filled with at least tens of thousands of spike shrimps which weighed several tons.
After coming here, Zhang Tie stopped as he pointed at the spike shrimps in the pond and asked, "What's that?"
Spike shrimp was a name in the world where he came from. In Motian Realm, Zhang Tie didn't know whether spike shrimp had another name in this world. Therefore, he asked her about it.
"Oh, these are spike shrimps. Don't be fooled by their small size, they have great strength. Especially their front pincers, which are even more powerful than those of iron crabs. Their front pincers are like spears stabbing out. That's why they are called spike shrimps. Although their name sounds scary, their meat is very delicious. It's very tasty when steamed. If you use their meat to make prawn balls, the prawn balls will be especially chewy..."
'I've not imagined that spike shrimp is still called spike shrimp in Motian Realm. It seems that people in the two worlds really have a tacit understanding when naming this thing.'
"How much do you sell them?" Zhang Tie asked straightforwardly.
"How much do you want, sir?"
"As much as you can!" Zhang Tie took a look at Boss Du, "Not only the spike shrimps in your fish store, but also all the spike shrimps in this fish market from now on …"
"All of them?" Boss Du was really amazed. He knew that Zhang Tie was a generous customer; however, he had not imagined that Zhang Tie could have such a big appetite.
"Can't I?"
"Yes, of course. If you want to buy something, even if we don't have it here, I can get it for you from other boatmen or fish stores. However, you have to know that the quantity of spike shrimps at the wharf varies from 5,000-6,000 kg to over 10,000 kg per day. A restaurant doesn't need so many spike shrimps at all …"
"Don't worry about that. I have my reasons!"
Boss Du frowned as he calculated for a short while, "Sir, do you want to pick them up by yourself or do you want us to deliver them to your designated place? If you pick them up by yourself, the price would be a bit cheaper. Each kg of spike shrimps would cost 8 white crystal coins. If you want us to deliver them to your designated place, it depends on the distance. The farther it is from here, the higher the price would be!"
"You guys just need to send the Spike Prawns to the place I want!"
"Where do you want us to deliver them to?"
"Just deliver them to Whitedragon Gulf by boat every day and set them free for me …"
"What? Sir, you mean you want us to release the spike shrimps into the ocean after buying them?"
"Right!"
Boss Du had been doing business for so many years; however, it was his first time to meet such a customer like Zhang Tie, who wanted to set them free instead of eating them. 'Does he think that I'm too rich or has a mental problem? Or does he come here to make fun of me?'
As he thought about it, Boss Du started to glance at Zhang Tie in a weird way. If not Zhang Tie's clothes were not brilliant and didn't look like those poor people, Boss Du might have long ordered his assistants to drive Zhang Tie out of here.
Boss Du threw another glance at Zhang Tie as he put out his request. In Boss Du's opinion, if Zhang Tie agreed with this request, he could continue his business. If someone was too rich and wanted to throw them into the water to listen to the sound, Boss Du didn't care about that. However, if Zhang Tie didn't agree, he would have his assistants drive Zhang Tie out of here right away.
If you are a regular customer, you could settle the bill at the end of the month. However, as the quantity of spike shrimps you need is too large, we would have to hire a big ship to transport them into the ocean. Additionally, we also need manpower. In this way, plus the transportation cost and manpower, we would have to spend at least 11 white crystal coins per kg of spike shrimps. Therefore, you need to pay enough in advance before we could do that … "
Zhang Tie threw a glance at Boss Du with a smile. Closely after that, he took out a purse and threw it to Boss Du.
After opening the purse, Boss Du took a look at the sparkling blue crystal inside. Closely after that, he was shocked inside at once.
"I'll pay the money in advance. I'll pay you according to the price you mentioned. Manager Du, go and arrange the people now. Today, I'm going to release the animals …" (To be continued)
