Cycling Around Hainan 7: The Legendary Global Wharf, Salmon at 40 Yuan per Pound!

After disembarking from Baitou Tailu Wharf after about ten minutes, we arrived across the sea,Stepping off the boat, the noisy human voices reached my ears, it seemed quite bustling here. Following the sound, I found a seafood market, surprisingly not small at all. I originally intended to just pass by and head straight to WenChang City, but I couldn't resist the calls of the vendors and my curiosity, so I eventually left my backpack and car with a computer, hard drives, cash, and most of my belongings outside the gate, and ventured into the market,The market was located right next to the pier, a bit bigger than it looked, with numerous small stalls packed together, filled with various seafood, most of which I couldn't even name. I used to not eat seafood until recently, and I'm still not used to the smell, but I'm gradually accepting some seafood. Consequently, my knowledge of seafood is limited,Standing in the middle of this seafood market, looking at the tempting seafood with bright colors, I couldn't resist the temptation, always wanting to buy something. Thinking about it, I was staying in a hotel for the night, and processing the seafood was a big problem. When the problem arose, a nearby aunt immediately gave me an answer: 'My store is right in front of you, we're very professional at processing seafood, and we charge by the pound.' I was surprised! This was the first time I'd encountered such a direct approach, and it was the first time I'd been approached by a woman,Fortunately, her words quickly got me out of the awkward situation. 'My store is right in front of you, we're very professional at processing seafood, and we charge by the pound.' At that time, I remembered that there was a note in my guidebook, that many seafood markets in Hainan would have nearby processing restaurants, and the fees were fair. Looking around, there were also many foreign tourists in the crowd shopping for seafood, they were likely winter vacationers in Hainan, and processing seafood was indeed a good business for them,Looking at the map on my phone navigation, WenChang City, where I was staying, was still four kilometers away. I hadn't yet decided where to stay, plus I wanted to have a drink in the evening, so I couldn't arrange dinner there, just eat without drinking would be boring, drinking would be considered drunk driving, and I didn't want my family to worry, so I bought some and went home to eat!

That's how three-fish naturally entered my options. At 40 yuan per kilogram and 45 yuan per plate, it's about 160 yuan per kilogram in my city's supermarkets! That's really cheap, is it really? Do they not raise tuna in Hainan? Don't raise trout in Hainan either? Who cares, the price is cheap, I bought a plate, about one kilogram and two ounces, enough? I don't know, anyway it's more than 100 yuan I bought at home. Tonight's dinner is three-fish with wine, hmm, shall I also have half a WenChang chicken?

The night was getting closer to WenChang. Riding a bike out, I saw a sign hanging at the entrance of the pier - it was actually the legendary - Global Wharf!
