"Xiao Cheng's fishing skills are already so good.
What should Dzogchen be like? You can’t catch the Dragon King, right? ! "
Such thoughts flashed through Bai Qi's head inexplicably.
The eight-hundred-mile Blackwater River is wide and deep.
Maybe you can actually raise a giant dragon species.
“The progress of getting started is easy, and if you catch something with the net, it can increase.
After a small success, you have to catch big fish and catch big things.
Only then can it have a training effect.
If you want to achieve Dzogchen, it will only be harder..."
Bai Qi rested for a while, and seeing that it was almost noon, he quickly swam towards the sampan.
He held up his hands, his body was as soft as if he had no bones, and he jumped straight up.
His movements are light, flexible and vigorous, obviously much stronger than before.
“While gaining water quality, my physical condition seems to have improved as well.”
After Bai Qi realized it, he felt hot steam coming out of the seams in his bones, dispelling the biting cold.
"No wonder I don't feel cold. It turns out that my muscles and bones are stronger and can withstand the soaking in the river water."
He looked down and saw his skin was tanned by the weather and sun.
At this time, it looks very well-proportioned, as if there is no extra piece above and below.
With the help of fishing skills, even his own state began to change.
It’s incredible!
"The body that a good swimmer developed in his previous life is just like this, right?
It's a pity that I'm still a little skinny and not nutritious enough, so I need to replenish myself with meat with oil and water. "
Bai Qi muttered something in his heart and bent down to collect the caught silver carp.
Small fish and shrimps that could not be sold at a high price were released by him and thrown back into the river.
So as to make room for the harvest that awaits later.
"Hey, finding a fish nest is like looking at the lines on the palm of your hand, how can you not protect yourself!"
Bai Qi supported the sampan and slid into the reed swamp, came to the marked fish nest, and directly lowered the net.
Only two quarters of an hour passed, accompanied by the sound of rushing water. The simple big net woven with hemp rope was lifted up.
The results were so gratifying that the sampan weighed heavily.
"A black bighead carp weighing about three kilograms costs fifty cents!
The restaurant often sells fresh river eels, a total of more than a dozen, worth hundreds of dollars!
There is also an eight-pound snakehead! Developed, really developed now! "
Bai Qi was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.
What a bumper harvest!
“If it’s not valuable, you can keep it for yourself.
Take the black bighead carp, river eel, and black snakehead carp to the East Market.
It wouldn't attract anyone's attention if it were exchanged for a hundred bucks.
If the water flows slowly, you will get rich silently, so as not to bring trouble to your doorstep..."
He picked and picked, leaving more than twenty fish, and filled the two fish baskets to the brim.
"Let's go! Yulandong City!"
…
…
Heihe County is quite large and relies on the steep mountain terrain to build a thick adobe city wall.
There is an inside and outside inside.
The outer city is a densely populated shanty town.
The roads are muddy and dirty, and most of the residents are humble households and servants who rely on their hands to earn a living.
The inner city is slightly better. The streets and alleys are paved with long bluestone slabs and lined with private houses.
Going further inside, the wide avenue divides into four markets in the east, west, north and south.
Restaurants, inns and other shops are lined up in rows, and people come and go, making it quite lively.
There is a pier in Dongshi, through which you can go to Yihai County by water.
There are hundreds of sampans and a dozen awning boats lined up, anchored and docked.
Fishermen wearing bamboo hats, short jackets and bare feet shuttled around, carrying baskets of river fresh food into the fish market.
The purchasing clerks were left to choose at will, and the sounds of bargaining came and went.
The whole place was noisy and emitted a strong fishy smell, like a quagmire.
"Ah Qi is here! I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Oh, the fish basket is so full, I must have caught a big fish!"
"Silver carp, black bighead carp, river eel! Tsk tsk, they are all valuable goods!"
"Are you blind? Why didn't you see the most expensive treasure?"
"This snakehead weighs at least ten kilograms. Hurry up and call the guy from Donglailou. Their cook specializes in this!"
As soon as Bai Qi's sampan stopped, fishermen gathered around him.
When they saw the two fish baskets in their hands, they all started talking, their eyes full of envy.
Everyone is a lowly person who lives on the water.
Know best the value of a good harvest.
This time, Bai Qilang can earn hundreds of dollars at least.
Even if you eat meat and drink every meal, you can stay relaxed for a long time.
"Please give way."
Bai Qi walked into the shop set up in Yulandong City, where about a dozen waiters were busy working.
A rather eye-catching young boss wearing smart clothes came over.
He looked at it and said with a smile:
"It's amazing, Ah Qi! This snakehead is hard to catch. It weighs ten kilograms. It's going to be hard for you!"
This person in charge is called Liang Sanshui. He is young and quite kind in his work.
They are not as aggressive as Chen Laizi and Yang Quan. They wish they could squeeze a few ounces of oil out of the stone.
He has quite a reputation in Yulandong City.
"My fishing net was torn apart by this beast. I need to find a good craftsman to repair it later."
Bai Qi's tone was indignant and he complained deliberately.
"Haha, even if I tear ten of your fishing nets, I will still make money.
Come on, come on, get on the scale first, and get the money later! "
The 800-mile Heishui River supports many fishermen.
Once or twice, God will show mercy and get a good harvest, which is not a strange thing.
Liang Sanshui didn't think too much, just thinking about Bai Qilang's luck, good or bad.
This rare bumper harvest happened to happen when Yang Quan, the god of plague, was patrolling Dongshi.
I will definitely take advantage of it later.
After a while, the man quickly weighed the weight.
Liang Sanshui stood behind the wooden counter, fiddling with the abacus:
“Silver carp, black bighead carp and river eel are all good things, and restaurants often collect them.
There are so many pieces, which will cost you two hundred and sixty cents... Nine pounds and twenty taels of snakehead. According to the market price, it should be about two hundred cents.
However, the people at Tianying Martial Arts School were eager to get it and just offered 350 coins to take it away.
Take out the cost of mooring the sampan, the cost of the waiter weighing the fish, and the commission from the fish pen.
How about folding it into four hundred and thirty-two articles? "
Bai Qi nodded.
Why do fishermen only come here if they have a big harvest?
As soon as their sampan docks, they will charge you money for parking.
Asking for help from a waiter is not a waste of effort.
If you have to do it yourself, the fish pen has other excuses.
If you don't know how to create a platform and exploit it, how can you prosper?
As for fishermen like Bai Qi.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Be prudent and cautious, and protect yourself wisely.
This is how the lower class survive.
“Ah Qi, why don’t you rush to mend the fishing nets.
Just go home early and don’t linger..."
Liang Sanshui handed over several large coins strung together and gave a kind reminder.
No one in Yulandong City knows how difficult Bai Qilang's life is.
His parents passed away early, and he had no relatives to help him.
Only a mud house and a thin younger brother suffering from epilepsy were left.
Everyone saw it, but it was hard to do anything to help.
After all, no one has a family to support these days.
I really can't be kind and can't be a good person.
"okay!"
Bai Qi took the heavy amount of money and felt at ease in his heart.
He was about to put it in his arms, turned around and left the shop.
Then I saw a black boot crossing the threshold, and then heard a greeting voice:
"Isn't this Ah Qi? I gained a lot from today's trip?"
A tall and sturdy figure stepped into the Dongshi shop, with a scar on the corner of his mouth and a smile that was not smiling at all.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ferocious spirit.
This person is none other than Yang Quan, a local fisherman.
“It all depends on God to provide me with food and allow me to catch big fish.
Brother Quan, this is to honor you. "
Bai Qi felt a sudden thought, secretly thinking that he was unlucky when he went out without reading the almanac, how could he meet this god of plague.
However, his expression remained as usual, and he very neatly took out a large amount of money and was about to hand it over.
In my previous life, I traveled all over the country, so how could I not have a sharp eye?
Unarmed and weak.
If you fight against a bad wolf, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
Yang Quan led a gang of thugs and bullied the market for several years without collapse.
It must have a strong backer and ruthless means.
This big stone is definitely not something that a fisherman who makes a living can move.
At least, not now.
"Ah Qi, I just like your intelligence! You are very knowledgeable and sensible!"
Yang Quan looked at the money hanging in front of the door, raised his head and laughed but did not take it:
"Why don't you follow your brother? You will have a good life of eating and drinking!"
Bai Qi's heart skipped a beat and he behaved like an honest person:
"Brother Quan can like me, so of course I can't ask for it, but I still have a younger brother to take care of..."
Yang Quan waved his hand, but he just said it casually.
There are many fishermen in Heihe County who want to rely on him, including one like Bai Qi.
The evil wolf's eyes wandered around, passing by the baskets of river fresh food, and asked Liang Sanshui:
"Brother Shui, will anyone come up today to hunt ghost-striped fish?"
Liang Sanshui showed an unlucky expression as if he had seen the God of Plague, lowered his head and made an abacus:
"No, the Ghost Striped Fish can only be defended by going to Lost Soul Bay.
If you can get five or six items by the end of the month, thank God. "
Yang Quan narrowed his eyes, smiled, patted his chest and said:
"Anyway, I will definitely get twenty pieces to supplement my young master's health. Don't worry about this."
After exchanging a few words, seeing that Liang Sanshui didn't pay much attention to him, he turned back to Bai Qi:
"Does Ah Qi know that the price of the fish stall has increased?
Brother, I don’t want this money from you, but the ghost-striped fish you have to offer at the end of the month must not be less!
Our friendship as brothers is a friendship, and the rules cannot be broken, right?
Also, Lin Laoliu from Chaishi had a drink with me yesterday.
When I mentioned your sick brother, I thought he was clever and I liked him very much. "
Bai Qi raised his eyelids, glanced at the smiling Yang Quan, and whispered:
"Brother Quan, my father said that if you starve to death, you won't become a slave, and if you really sign the contract of prostitution, you won't..."
Yang Quan interrupted loudly:
"How can a good man be a slave! How can my brother be so ignorant?
As soon as Lin Laoliu started talking, I scolded him.
He has now realized his mistake and changed his mind. He promised not to sign the deed of sale and only wants to accept your younger brother as his godson.
How about it? "
