There is a smell in the air, a very pleasant smell, just like the smell of the sea, a very delicious smell, a smell that makes people feel relaxed and happy just by smelling it.
As soon as this smell came out, it immediately suppressed the fishy smell that had been prevalent in this fishing city. It was an overwhelming fragrance. Even the fishy smell that had accumulated for more than ten years was vulnerable to such a fragrance. .
"Hey, this smells like, is this the smell of that Pollock fish?"
Vlad licked his lips and smiled, "It's amazing! Is this still fish? Does fish actually smell like this? Isn't it dead? It has such a fragrance without any cooking. ? I somewhat understand why countless businessmen are willing to stay here for several years just to buy a Pollock fish!"
"This is nothing!"
The chef standing behind Vlad looked at the big fish on the fishing boat not far away with fascination. He said, "This is just a little special thing about Pollock fish. The most powerful one, Yes, even if the person who knows the least about cooking just cuts it open with a knife and eats it directly, the taste is already superior to most fish."
"Even if you simply cook it, the flavor it produces can make people faint!"
The chef said, "It is truly a dreamy ingredient!"
"Uuhaha!"
Vlad laughed, "It seems to be true! So, this fish,"
"We should win it!"
--------------------------
"Everyone,"
Standing on the bow of the fishing boat was the fisherman who had previously shouted that he had caught a Pollock fish. Now that he was closer, Vlad could clearly see this man's appearance.
He is very thin, really very thin. His exposed face looks like skin and bones, his eyes are hollow and lifeless, his skin is dark, but his face is a little strangely pale.
The fisherman shouted, "You've seen it! This is a genuine Pollock fish! If you want to buy it, please make an offer!"
Vlad could tell that the fisherman looked panicked and his tone was trembling, as if he was afraid of something.
"How do we know if there's something wrong with your fish?"
After a brief silence, the merchants who had pounced on him like sharks smelling blood were now bidding to buy without any urgency. They seemed to be hesitant. Finally, someone asked.
"All the Pollock fish before were sold by Pollock Island Fishing Company, right? Only with such a large-scale transaction can we rest assured,"
"Now you are selling it yourself, we don't know if there will be any problems here!"
Vlad noticed that when the businessman spoke, the businessmen around him nodded in agreement, fully agreeing with the businessman's views.
"Yeah~ It seems that fishing company is very popular!"
Vlad said with a smile.
"This...I..."
The honest fisherman looked a little panicked and didn't know how to answer the businessman's words.
"Are you speechless?"
When the businessman saw this situation, he seemed to have confirmed his suspicion, "Then there is indeed something wrong, right? Sure enough, Pollock fish are exclusively sold by Pollock Fishing Company, and you are selling it yourself. has a problem!"
"Not without,"
The fisherman's face turned red, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally said a dry sentence, "This fish was just caught, no, there is no problem!"
"There's no problem, so why not let Pollock help you sell it? Wouldn't that be more secure?"
A businessman said this.
"I...that..."
The fisherman was speechless again, and there was deep fear in his eyes.
"Let's go, let's go! There's something wrong with this fish!"
A businessman said so.
"It's gone! It's gone!"
Those who responded immediately gathered.
"Pfft~ These guys are really interesting!"
Vlad smiled and said, although they said they would leave soon, in fact these businessmen had no intention of leaving at all. They still stayed in the same place with a cruel smile on their lips, waiting for the honest fisherman to lower the price himself.
As they said themselves, transactions that do not go through Pollock Fisheries Company are really insecure, but this insecurity is not for these businessmen, but for the disadvantaged fishermen.
"Hey, chef, can you tell if there's anything wrong with that fish?"
Vlad turned around and asked.
"From the outside, there is nothing wrong with it. It is very fresh. It was just caught from the sea!"
The chef carefully observed the fish from a distance for a while and confirmed that as a chef, he can still do this.
"Really? That's no problem!"
Vlad smiled, "By the way, how much is the market price of a Pollock fish?"
"market price,"
The chef replied, "That's really a sky-high price! For a piece of this size,"
"Ten million Berry!"
"Ten million?"
Vlad raised his eyebrows, "The price is really not low!"
"Yes, otherwise these businessmen wouldn't be able to make things difficult for him now!"
The chef agreed that ten million beli was too expensive for a fish, there was no doubt about it.
"Hey, that old man!"
Vlad shouted, "I'll buy this fish! How about ten million?"
"Eh?"
The fisherman obviously didn't come to his senses, and turned to look at Vlad in confusion.
"Is that enough? Ten million berry, that's what the market price is, right?"
Ten million may be a huge amount of money for ordinary people, but for Vlad, it is just a drop in the bucket. The Fire Dragon Pirates who have obtained the legacy of the ancient city Shandora can be said to be extremely rich. Besides, Vlad also has a rich friend far away in the New World, and it is impossible to be short of money.
Spending 10 million to buy a fish is really just a pastime for Ferdinando Vlad.
"Sir, are you serious?"
On a boat next to Vlad, a well-dressed businessman said in surprise.
"That fish has no guarantees!"
The businessman said, "It's a total of 10 million. If there is any problem, wouldn't it be a huge loss?"
"ha?"
Vlad raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully, "You are rich and willful, yet you take zero risk!"
"..."
The man was instantly choked and speechless.
"That sir, that sir, are you serious?"
The fisherman said excitedly, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"That's-"
Vlad was at the moment of answering.
"No! This transaction is not allowed!!!!"
Some sharp male voices came from one side.
