“Only one kind of bait can attract all kinds of big fish, even precious fish?
It is simply more powerful than the fishing rod I used to light in my previous life! "
Looking at the fully loaded sampan, Bai Qi could not restrain his excitement. Is this the power of Fang Shu?
"The art of driving the sea fell into the hands of Wang Lezi, and the true pearl was covered in dust.
With scented bait and insect bait, there is no need to worry about the fish stall not being prosperous! "
Bai Qi was full of energy and worked harder, putting away the two heavy fishing nets.
The night was dark and the water was like ripples. He walked all the way to Dongshi Pier, and there was no one at the port.
It was cold and freezing, and the fishermen finished their work early and returned home, looking deserted.
"Brothers, come here and help me!"
After tying the sampan with a rope, Bai Qi called on a few strong men to weigh the fish pots and baskets and calculate the money.
After entering Tongwen Hall, he was able to withstand strong winds and waves.
With the support of Ning Haichan, even if you earn a few hundred taels a day, you don't have to worry about causing trouble.
This is the benefit of apprenticeship.
If the sky falls, there will always be someone to hold it up.
"Ouch! So many treasure fish!"
"Brother Qi, have you made a big mistake?"
"The Dragon King has appeared. How lucky is he?"
"Bah! It's obviously Brother Qi who relies on his ability..."
Many of the clerks were shocked. They had been working in the shop for many years and had never seen such a scene.
The lively treasure fish piled up in a basket, almost no different from Chinese cabbage, it was really shocking.
You should know that a large item weighing more than three kilograms is worth dozens of taels of silver.
How much does it cost?
What a fortune!
A year's worth of business was done in one night!
The guys’ eyes were full of envy, and some even asked:
"Brother Qi, do you still accept people from your fish stall? I want to learn fishing from you! Just give me a meal!"
Bai Qi smiled but said nothing.
People's hearts are separated from each other and they don't know what to do. How can they be recruited casually?
It was not very late at this time, and the shops in Dongshi were not closed yet.
Liang Sanshui was immersed in settling accounts. When he heard the commotion and came out to take a look, he was also surprised:
"Ah Qi, you... have had a great harvest!"
Bai Qi pointed to the bamboo basket containing the treasure fish:
"Brother Shui, let the waiter pick out the silver sand carp and give it to Uncle Liang to make soup.
Leave another horned pomfret to replenish my brother's health, and convert the rest into money. "
Liang Sanshui was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear and said happily:
"Okay, okay, I'm taking advantage of you again this time, Ah Qi."
As the manager of Dongshi, his shop has a lot of revenue and turnover, which is undoubtedly good news.
From now on, people will feel confident speaking in the fish pen.
What's more, every time you catch a treasure fish, it attracts a large number of martial arts schools in the inner city.
Invisibly, it helps to increase your reputation and polish your brand!
“Your trip out of the boat this time is equivalent to the shop’s fishing income for half a year.
I'm afraid I don't have enough cash, so it's probably difficult to get it out. If Ah Qi doesn't need it urgently, I'll personally collect enough to give it to you tomorrow morning. "
Liang Sanshui finished calculating the accounts and smiled bitterly. Normally, the shop wouldn't keep much silver.
They are settled every ten days and cleared at the end of the month to avoid causing heavy losses to thieves.
"It's out of the way."
Bai Qi knew what was going on, so he picked up the horned pomfret tied with a straw rope, exchanged a few words, and went home.
The one he brought was not as heavy as Liang Sanshui's nephew, so it could only be used to stew and make soup.
"Brother...Master Ning!"
Bai Qi took out the key and opened the door, only to see two figures, one large and one small, sitting in the main hall.
Ning Haichan was still wearing a large robe of azure satin with cloud and dragon patterns, holding a small tea cup:
"I've only come back from work at this hour. Good apprentice, it's not easy for you to be the fish stall boss.
Bai Qi was quite surprised. Ning Haichan's whereabouts were uncertain and he had not been in Tongwen Hall for a while.
Why did it suddenly appear today?
"Hey, what a horned pomfret! Oh, Ah Qi, let me tell you, this thing is best used for stewing. When the heat is up, it is paired with a pot of rice wine and some braised duck and braised pork. It tastes amazing!"
Ning Haichan looked at the treasure fish in Bai Qi's hand and smacked his mouth, as if he still had more to say.
"Brother, I'll go to the foot shop on the corner and buy a pot of rice wine and some snacks to go with the wine."
Bai Ming didn't think too slowly. He understood the meaning immediately and hurried out.
"Your younger brother looks like a wise man, with handsome features and spiritual energy. Unfortunately, his body is too weak."
Ning Haichan laughed and said:
"I heard what Lao Dao said. Lei Xiong went to great lengths to kill that monster fish, but unexpectedly he got an advantage for you. You can save the black jade paste you originally prepared."
Knowing that the instructor did not like red tape, Bai Qi did not accompany him and started killing the fish, removing the scales, disemboweling the fish, and cleaning the blood.
"Perhaps my water transport is good, and I always get something when I go down the river."
Ning Haichan was noncommittal, and it was understandable that his apprentice would have some encounters.
Which master who combines four practices into one doesn't have some extraordinary experiences?
"I think so. The water lines on your forehead look like you are blessed."
Bai Qi's heart shrank, could the instructor even see this?
The vertical lines between his eyebrows only appear when exposed to running water.
"At the end of the four major exercises, when the muscles, bones, skin and flesh have reached perfection, they pursue to control the body and mind from the outside to the inside. I can see through your hair, bones, qi, blood, and body at a glance. It's nothing."
Ning Haichan's tone was calm, and he seemed to be leaning loosely on the table and stool, with no sitting posture, but in fact, he had a vague sense of tyranny to suppress everyone.
"Mountains, rivers, swamps, lakes, seas, and rivers all have spirits. You go to the river all the year round, and it is reasonable for you to be favored.
Heihe County is too small and there are not many side schools that practice Taoism. Otherwise, I will weigh your destiny and see if you are really close to the water.
Your senior brother didn't calculate well back then, and came up with the idea that "the post horse will be in the air, and the Kuigang will be in trouble". Later, it turned out that he was running around and working hard. "
Bai Qi had heard Ning Haichan mention his senior brother who had started earlier more than once, so he asked curiously:
"Eldest Brother, what does he do?"
If he has not stayed in Tongwen Hall, it means he has left the army.
As the eldest disciple of the instructor, logically speaking, he should not be unknown.
"The knife catcher. He is a famous knife catcher in Yihai County, his surname is 'Cheng', and he is Cheng Yuanlong.
I gave him this name, okay? "
Ning Haichan was very proud.
This coach is very concerned about details and doesn't know what to pay attention to.
"Knife catcher?"
Bai Qi was confused.
"Don't even think about it. With 800 miles of black rivers, 500 miles of mountain roads, and no government offices, how can the local young and strong guards suppress the endless hordes of bandits?
Therefore, there are knife catchers who usually publish wanted lists in counties and cities to receive silver rewards. Occasionally, they are invited by villages to sweep away bandits and thieves and exterminate monsters that have become spirits.
Your senior brother is quite successful. There are about three hundred sword catchers in Yihai County. He is ranked sixteenth, so he has not lost the title of Tongwenguan.
If you want to go to the city one day, you can meet him for a drink, and he can help you if you encounter trouble. "
After Ning Haichan finished explaining, Bai Ming also returned from drinking and bought a lot of cooked meat and vegetables.
Bai Ming quickly killed the fish, washed his hands, cut some white tender tofu, and heated the stove to boiling water.
Then pour the marinated and fried pomfret horns and various ingredients into the casserole.
"Even if you know how to eat, you know how to put the tofu in at the end. It's a pity that you missed the pickles, otherwise the soup would have rolled over. You would be worse than me."
Ning Haichan poured a bowl of rice wine without any ceremony, picked up the fish with two chopsticks, and ate it with gusto.
It's cold outside, but it's hot inside, and it feels like a family of three getting together.
"By the way, I accidentally encountered a fertile black bear in the mountains. It had a climate that lasted four to five hundred years. I killed it casually and took a piece of bear bile and soaked it in wine. Here, let's continue."
While the instructor was enjoying his meal, he threw out a green-skinned gourd, which swayed with a crisp sound.
Bai Qi caught it steadily, opened the cork and smelled it, there was a strong aroma of wine.
"The Xiong Dan Dalijiu of Duandaomen is not as good as me. Even if you are a master, your meal will not be in vain.
If you don't mind, take a few sips to strengthen your energy and blood.
Your brother can also try it briefly to nourish the liver and spleen and increase physical strength. "
Ning Haichan raised his eyebrows and said.
I didn't expect the instructor to be so arrogant.
Bai Qi hurriedly thanked him, knowing full well that Ning Haichan went to the mountain to kill monsters for the gourd bear bile wine, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence.
"Starting from tomorrow, I will teach you how to fight."
Ning Haichan chewed the delicious fish meat carefully, his eyes glanced at Bai Qi's muscular and increasingly strong upper body bones, showing a somewhat satisfied look:
"There are a total of twelve martial arts schools on Xinyi Street in the outer city. You can go to them one by one at dawn."
