Because He Zhenzhen remained silent, holding the bamboo basket in both hands, and handed it to him right under his nose.

After a moment of silence, Boss Cui let out an incredulous shout.

"Butter crabs! They really are butter crabs! Wow, they're all golden like gold! My goodness, and some of them are so big, they must weigh almost a pound!"

His eyes gleamed as he looked into the bamboo basket.

Indeed, there were fifteen yellow crabs piled high in the bamboo basket.

They look just like pieces of gold!

Excited heart, trembling hands.

Boss Cui carefully picked up a five- or six-ounce yellow oil crab from the bamboo basket, looking at it from left to right, his eyes shining.

He kept saying, "Great, great, this butter crab is excellent. Butter crabs are divided into four grades: top-grade, second-grade, roe-rich, and water-rich. This butter crab is at least second-grade."

"Let me look at the others."

He carefully placed the butter crab down, then picked up the larger one to look at it.

Immediately, his eyes lit up.

"My goodness, this is such a big butter crab! It's top-quality! This is amazing! I knew I could get butter crabs here, but I never expected to get one of this high quality."

"The big bosses on Hong Kong Island will be ecstatic!"

He suddenly looked up.

"Young lady, how much will you sell me this yellow oil crab for?"

He Zhenzhen didn't know either, so she turned to look at Niu Bayi.

"My husband caught all these yellow crabs, you can ask him."

At this moment, Niu Bayi also came over and nodded to him.

"Boss Cui, are you going to buy up all the yellow crabs?"

Boss Cui nodded immediately.

"That's right, I've taken them all. If you find any more yellow crabs in the future, just let me know, and I'll take them too. This is my business card; my phone number is on it."

He took out a business card and handed it over.

Niu Bayi took it and looked at it.

The business card was simple, but Boss Cui's identity was anything but simple.

He is the owner of a trading company.

Not long after the reform and opening up, those who could do trade all had connections.

The fact that someone with such a prestigious background personally collected the yellow croaker shows just how eager the big bosses on Hong Kong Island were to get it.

Niu Bayi smiled slightly and asked calmly, "Boss Cui, how much are you planning to charge me?"

Boss Cui thought for a moment, then held out a palm with five fingers held straight up, and then flipped his hand over.

"I'll buy it from you for 10 yuan a pound, what do you say?"

Immediately, a gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.

Even the little mustache stared wide-eyed in disbelief and exclaimed.

"Boss Cui, these yellow oil crabs are really that valuable? Ten yuan a pound! Even the best and biggest mud crabs only cost 1.2 yuan each!"

Boss Cui turned his head and glared at him.

"What do you know? This yellow oil crab is much more valuable than the mud crab. You can tell how precious it is from the fact that only a few yellow oil crabs can be found out of a thousand mud crabs."

"Ten yuan a pound, young man, what do you think?"

The middle-aged man, who had previously dug up a yellow crab but then thrown it away, was so angry that he stomped his feet.

Niu Bayi chuckled.

"You're offering me 10 yuan per pound for yellow crabs? Boss Cui, that's not a very sincere price."

Boss Cui was taken aback.

"You think it's too low?"

Niu Bayi nodded immediately.

"That's definitely too low."

The little mustache next to him couldn't stand it and started yelling.

"Hey young man, what are you thinking? I'm offering you 10 yuan a pound for yellow oil crabs, and you still think it's too low? My best mud crabs are only 1.2 yuan a pound, that's a huge difference."

"You can't ask for such an exorbitant amount!"

"I think you're only interested in money; you're nothing but a loser!"

The fishermen nearby also scolded Niu Bayi in a bad mood.

Even if these yellow oil crabs are valuable, 10 yuan per pound is already an astronomical price.

Seeing so many people teaching Niu Bayi a lesson, Boss Cui squinted his eyes smugly.

"Young man, the eyes of the masses are discerning. Everyone says that 10 yuan per jin is an exorbitant price. Don't be greedy. If I don't buy it, no one will buy your yellow oil crabs."

"You can either wait for it to rot and stink, or you can eat it yourself."

"In mainland China, very few people know how to appreciate quality goods. If I buy them from you for 10 yuan a pound and then resell them, I won't make much money."

He Zhenzhen immediately spat.

"Boss Cui, do you think we don't know anything?"

"In Hong Kong Island, ordinary blue crabs cost 30 to 40 Hong Kong dollars per catty, not to mention yellow oil crabs, which sell for 1200 Hong Kong dollars per catty. That's equivalent to 300 to 400 yuan per catty in mainland currency."

"You buy from us for 10 yuan a pound, then resell it. Don't you have any idea how much profit you're making?"

Boss Cui was shocked and blurted out.

"How do you, a fisherwoman, know so much?"

He Zhenzhen proudly hugged Niu Bayi's arm.

"Of course, my husband told me. He knows everything."

Niu Bayi said calmly, "Boss Cui, name a reasonable price. Otherwise, even if you don't want it, I can find someone else to buy it. You know Mr. Yang Qianjin, right?"

Do you think he'll accept this?

Immediately, Boss Cui's expression changed.

"Do you still know Mr. Yang?"

He Zhenzhen snorted.

"What else? My husband has done things for Mr. Yang before, and Mr. Yang values ​​him highly."

Boss Cui immediately broke into a big smile and gave Niu Bayi a thumbs up.

"Young man, no wonder you're so knowledgeable. It turns out you even helped Mr. Yang before. Alright, we're family, no need for formalities. I'll buy these yellow oil crabs from you for 200 yuan a pound."

"To be honest, even if I resell it in Hong Kong, it won't fetch as high a price as this girl said. At most, it'll be around 300 yuan per catty."

"And it will take quite a bit of effort; you probably know something about getting through this."

What do you think?

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding fishermen, including the man with the small mustache, were all speechless.

Good heavens!

Oh, Earth!

10 yuan per kilogram is scary enough, isn't it?

Why did the price suddenly jump to 200 yuan per jin?

The middle-aged man, who had previously dug up a yellow crab but then thrown it away, was so angry that he stomped his foot so hard he almost broke it!

Niu Bayi thought about it and realized that it made sense.

200 yuan per jin, that's quite a good price, so I readily agreed.

"Okay, Mr. Cui, if you're so straightforward, I'll be too. It'll be 200 yuan per pound, but we'll keep two to eat."

The last sentence left Boss Cui a little dumbfounded.

Fortunately, He Zhenzhen suddenly stomped her foot.

"My goodness, Niu Bayi, what are we going to eat? If it were 10 yuan a pound, I might actually keep two to eat, but it's 200 yuan a pound! It's not like we're at odds with money."

"I'm not eating it, and my dad, my mom, and my brother definitely won't eat it either."

"If my mom knew that you kept two of those yellow butter crabs, which can sell for 200 yuan a pound, to eat, she would definitely scold you and say that you should have sold them all."

She waved her two little hands vigorously, full of spirit.

Immediately, Boss Cui beamed with joy.

"Young man, look at your wife. She says she's sold everything. We should listen to our wives; they're always right. So, sell it all, what do you think?"

Niu Bayi had no choice but to nod his head.

"Okay, let's sell them all. Let's weigh them and see how much they are."
