Chapter 813: Red Devil Shrimp and the Luxury Tax
Xiao Qing was stunned for a few seconds, and then there was a bit of resentment in his tone.
"Boss, if you have to be so professional, you will make others have no sense of accomplishment!"
Lin Chou scratched his head,
"I'm just guessing, it's really- don't blame me, who made the Red Devil Shrimp look too distinctive."
Leng Han said curiously,
"Why is such a cute shrimp called that?"
Lin Chou said,
"Before the cataclysm, the red devil shrimp was native to Palamós, Spain, and it was also produced in small quantities along the Mediterranean coast, also known as crimson prawns and devil shrimp - we don't know much about the bad taste of crooked nuts."
"The adult size of the red devil shrimp is between 15 and 30 centimeters long, and the color of the whole body from head to tail is very bright, and the magnificence is unusually large - of course, it not only has the best appearance of the shrimp, but also has the same thrilling deliciousness, and the most common way to describe the red devil shrimp before the cataclysm is that it is 'ten times more fragrant than the average wild shrimp', and, most importantly, it is rare enough."
Leng Han muttered,
"Rare?"
Lin Chou nodded,
"Yes, relatively speaking, the origin of Palamós has strict restrictions on the fishing of red devil shrimp, such as the depth of the fishing operation must be between 300 and 1000 meters, the fishing boat can not work more than five days a week, the power must not exceed 500 horsepower, four fishing moratoriums a year, etc., etc., so that the maximum annual production of red devil shrimp in the origin of Palamós does not exceed 100 tons, and the world is only about 1,000 tons, compared to the countless hungry mouths of tens of billions of people in the world at that time. That's not even enough to plug your teeth. ”
"Now... To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a real thing..."
Leng Han picked up a red devil shrimp and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed,
"There's a nice smell of fresh shrimp, I can't smell anything special, but since it's so rare, are there very few people who can buy it before the cataclysm?"
Lin Chou scratched his head,
"It is almost impossible for a private person to buy the red devil shrimp of Palamós' origin, of course, this situation must first exclude those rich and powerful real foodies - the red devil shrimp will be booked by restaurants around the world before it comes out of the water, almost no middlemen have the opportunity to show their skills, as for the price, it is quite close to the people, a kilogram of 6-8 red devil shrimp about 150 euros, a thousand yuan."
Leng Han pinched his fingers, as if he was settling accounts,
"I know that before the cataclysm, rice cost about four pieces a pound... Then the price doesn't seem to be expensive. ”
Xiao Qing snickered,
"Girl, it's not like that, ordinary people can hardly buy red devil shrimp from the place of origin, if you want to eat good, you can only go to a restaurant with a star, the most authentic and best red devil shrimp walk around the restaurant and then come out, and it is normal for tens of thousands of tails."
Lin Chou nodded,
"Only the red devil shrimp of Palamós can really be called red devil shrimp, and this is not a matter of money, but too few resources."
Leng Han sighed, his face full of doubts,
"And these you are the Red Devil Shrimp of Palamós?"
"I... Ahem, ahem..."
Xiao Qing's face was a little blue,
"Girl, this and this, it's not like that, it's a time of cataclysm, it's not necessarily whether there is a Mediterranean or not, I..."
"That's a fake, a knockoff!"
“...”
Xiao Qing's pleading eyes swept over Lin Chou, boss, you can do it!
Lin Chou smiled bitterly,
"It can't be said that after the cataclysm, the marine life is not as orderly as before, it is all out of order, but with the self-purification degree and origin of the water quality today, even if this shrimp is not of Palamós origin, the taste will only be better and will not get worse."
"Oh..."
Leng Han nodded,
"That's... Isn't the Red Devil Prawn in Palamós even tastier now! ”
Xiao Qing almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
She looked deflated,
"Uh..."
As soon as Lin Chou was about to speak, he heard Leng Han snort,
"I thought it was something good, that's all? It's also mysterious! ”
Xiao Qing had a bag of sincere tears in his mouth,
"Auntie, it's not that we want to be mysterious, but the classification of this kind of thing in the base city is 'luxury', and the buyers and sellers with high independent taxes can jump off the building to prove their innocence, and it will cost at least 70,000 circulation points to go through the normal process of this shrimp on the surface, and we have to pay 50,000 independent taxes each, you can calculate it yourself..."
Leng Han: "??? ”
Luxury goods are generally defined as "a kind of consumer goods that are beyond the scope of people's survival and development needs, and have unique, scarce, rare and other characteristics".
Literally, this red devil shrimp is completely useless except for being delicious, and it doesn't help the strength of the evolutionary person in any way, and this kind of thing that appears purely for enjoyment just thinks about how much support the base city has, and people who promote the circulation of the consumer economy don't expect this kind of thing at all, and it is enough to give face if it is not directly banned completely.
There are many similar examples in Mingguang Base City, such as pufferfish.
It means that you can sell it, but you have to pay me the full tax.
Who makes the meaning of this thing not positive enough compared to this period, as for whether to lose money or not, you do it yourself, and Mingguang didn't ask you to catch this thing back.
Leng Han: "Evading taxes and killing people by the way? ”
Xiao Qing cried with a sad face, and didn't look at Leng Han anymore,
"Boss, do you want it? I can call you a 10% discount, but I can only trade in cash, not by card. ”
and then put on a broken jar and broken expression,
"This thing has a short shelf life, if you don't want it, I'll eat it with soy sauce and vinegar horseradish on the hour, anyway, I don't feel distressed in my stomach."
Phew, don't feel sorry for a fart, my mother's heart is dripping blood.
I finally met a good customer, how could I be forced to do this job with a few words!
In fact, Xiao Qing's sea hunting team has not caught a few red devil shrimp in total, of course, what is less than the number of catches is the chance of selling.
“...”
Lin Chou looked innocent.
Holy, cash?
Can't afford it...
Xiao Qing looked at Lin Chou's expression, and became even more desperate,
"The boss... Don't say you don't even bring cash with you to a place like this! ”
"I..."
"Of course there is money!"
Xiao Qing and Lin Chou looked at Leng Han in unison.
Leng Han grabbed it twice in his pocket,
"Ding-dong..."
Xiao Qing's eyes widened,
"Kim... Gold..."
Twist up a grain,
"This grain is enough, gold, if this is sent to the scientific research institute... Hey? The boss is really interesting, and he carved the gold into the shape of a hazelnut, not to mention that it looks quite like... If I don't have to get a few of them and put them on the tribute, it's a work of art, and the carving is so good. ”
For fear that the two of them would object, they tucked it in their pockets and hid it.
- Lin Chou reacted for a long time, and then almost laughed!
Well, hold on.
Leng Han suddenly winked at Lin Chou, feeling that Mo Ming was a little cute.
