In a rarely visited shoal on the beach, Chiyo Rei stood carefully on a stone. The purple thunder elemental power flowed in his hands, slowly extending, and finally weaving into a very simple net.
At first glance, this net made of thunder elements seems useless, like a child's toy fishing net, but for Chiyo Rei, this crude net is enough.
As early as a few days ago, they came here and found a lot of land eels in this shallow area. They are a very popular high-end food.
Since it is high-end and popular, it means that land eels can be sold at a good price.
That's why Chiyo Rei spread his thunder elemental power as far as possible, so that he could electrocute a larger area and catch more land eels.
When the net was completely formed, Chiyorei threw it out like every fisherman does.
It's just that the fishermen's nets fell into the water, and this net melted into the sand.
The net woven by the power of thunder disappeared instantly after landing, and was replaced by purple lightning flashing across the wet sand. Many land eels that had no time to penetrate deep into the sand were directly stunned.
"Okay." Seeing success, Chiyo Rei turned around and shouted to the waiting Qinqi.
The Qingqi received the signal and came over carrying a rattan basket.
When all the thunder elemental power in the sand dissipated, Chiyo Rei jumped off the stone and accepted the gift of nature with the Qingqi who came over.
Picking up the fainted land eel from the sand, Chiyorei said happily, "Today is a great harvest."
The Qingqi nodded, finding more this time.
Weighing the basket, Qinqi Zhe came up with a new idea. After thinking for a moment, he asked Chiyo Rei for his opinion, "Would you like to eat eel rice tonight?" He hadn't made this dish for a long time because land eels are difficult to catch. , usually they are reluctant to eat even if they are caught.
But after catching so many today, Qingqi thought he could leave one behind.
Unfortunately, Chiyorei was different from what he thought. He replied hesitantly, "Then let's see how the sales are today. If there are any left, we will eat eel rice."
The Qingqi laughed, but instead of persisting, he replied "Hello".
The admirer is very clear about Chiyo Rei's travel expenses, but compared to those Mora, he hopes that this child will not wrong him so much.
However, the ingredients are always available, and the Qinqi people feel that there is no need to make them unhappy over a meal.
If that doesn't work, they can go back and have a look after they sell out, and maybe catch new land eels.
With this plan in mind, Qinqi Zhe and Chiyo Rei picked up all the land eels that had fainted due to electricity.
Then they headed to nearby towns to sell these rare ingredients.
Ordinary fish can be sold directly to surrounding villagers, but land eels can only be purchased by wealthy people living in more prosperous places, or by high-end restaurants.
Chiyo Rei felt that whether he could save enough money to travel to Narukami Island as soon as possible would depend on how well this basket of land eels sold.
Silently calculating in his mind how many molas he could transfer to after selling out, Chiyo Rei and Qingqi Zhe went to the vegetable market in the city.
Several vendors noticed the arrival of the two outsiders and took the initiative to say hello to them.
"How many land eels did you catch this time?" a middle-aged man asked casually.
The curious person put the basket on the ground and gave the answer, "About twenty."
"Twenty? There are so many. How did you catch them?" The middle-aged man was startled. When he saw people, he hid deep in the sand. Usually he was lucky if he could catch a few. As a result, The two foreigners caught more than twenty fish in one go.
"We have a special method." Chiyo Rei spoke before the Qinqizhi.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately tsked and joked, "The special method you are talking about is not using the Eye of God, right?" He was just joking. In the eyes of ordinary people like them, the Eye of God is omnipotent. exist.
And the middle-aged man felt that if these two people really had the eyes of God, they would not have to catch fish and sell them for money every day. There would be a lot of wealthy people rushing to provide them with a place to stay.
However, to his surprise, Chiyo Rei and Qing Qi Zhe were strangely silent for a few seconds.
The middle-aged man realized something was wrong.
But before he could ask any more questions, a woman wearing dark clothes appeared in front of Chiyo Rei and Qingqi Zhe's booth.
"Oh, there are so many land eels today." The woman said happily.
Chiyo Rei and Qing Qi Zhe's attention was immediately attracted by the guests, and they paid no attention to the middle-aged man who was hesitant to speak.
Among them, Chiyorei entertained the woman skillfully. He recognized the other party as an old customer who often came here, but he noticed that the person who usually followed the woman and was responsible for bringing vegetables and fish did not come today.
But those were all trivial matters, and Chiyo Rei didn't pay much attention. He only noticed that the woman said bluntly, "It's still the same as before, I want all the land eels."
Chiyo Rei felt happy when he heard this. He didn't expect it to sell out so quickly.
But he was happy, and he didn't forget to remind the woman that there were more than twenty items in the basket.
When she learned that there were more than twenty land eels, the woman had the same reaction as the middle-aged man, "Really? More than twenty?"
"We caught more today." Qinqi said gently.
At this time, the woman carefully scanned the basket, and after confirming that there were indeed more than twenty, she covered her mouth and laughed a few times, "That's great, my lady likes to eat eel meat very much. If you raise these, you should be able to eat several times." sky."
Seeing that the woman had not changed her mind about wanting them all, Chiyo Rei suppressed the excitement in her heart and agreed, "Yes, you can keep it and eat it slowly." That little bit of thunder elemental power can only stun the land eels, leaving them alone for a while Will wake up again.
In fact, Chiyo Rei initially expected that the living land eel would sell for a higher price, but since he could not explain why the land eel was alive but motionless, he had to reluctantly give up.
Chiyo Rei didn't want to expose the fact that he had the eyes of God.
The Fools might still be carrying out Tasha activities, and it would be bad if the news about the Eye of the God of Thunder reaches them and leads to investigation.
Chiyo Rei didn't care about this, but considering Qingqi, he felt it was best not to be too ostentatious.
Chiyorei believes that he is probably the first person in the history of Teyvat who has the eye of God but hides it without showing it.
Recalling the reason for hiding the Eye of God, he couldn't help but glance at Qingqi who was exchanging prices with a woman, and wanted to get away from him quickly and away from this place of right and wrong.
"Lian, we need to help this lady deliver Lu Eel to her house."
The voice of the admirer interrupted Chiyo Rei's contemplation.
At this time, the woman just added, "I will pay some more money as a reward for sending it to me."
"You are too kind." Chiyo Rei said touchedly.
The woman smiled again without saying anything, and led Chiyo Rei and Qing Qi Zhe toward the mansion in the city.
When they walked out of the vegetable market, the middle-aged man who had been watching shook his head. He recognized the woman's identity. She was the housekeeper of the Asano family in the city and was usually responsible for purchasing matters.
These few times she came to the vegetable market to buy things in person, she must have received the instructions from the owner.
They are still too young. The middle-aged man sighed, thinking that Qingqi Zhe and Chiyo Rei would probably not appear here again in the future.
The two people walking away from the woman on the other side had no idea what the middle-aged man was thinking, especially Chiyo Rei, who was still counting how many more eels he could sell to pay for the trip.
"We're here." The woman stopped in front of a rather impressive door.
Chiyo Rei and Qing Qi Zhe looked at the door together, and they saw the door number with Asano's surname engraved on it.
"People like this still have to send people out to buy vegetables." Chiyo Rei muttered to Qinqi in a low voice. He thought that a vegetable seller would come directly to his door.
After hearing this, the curious people began to feel that something was wrong.
Unfortunately, before they had time to think about it, the woman knocked on the door.
"You two, please come in." The woman said respectfully.
Chiyo Rei and Qingqi Zhe sensed the change in her tone, which made them frown.
Seeing the displeasure of the two guests, the woman immediately explained, "Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean any harm. My wife wanted to see you two but didn't want to cause any alarm, so I made this move."
"Madam?" Chiyo Rei caught the key word.
The woman nodded and continued, "Well, Madam noticed that the land eel was still alive and not dead, so she came up with the idea of inviting you two over."
These words were very tactful, but Chiyo Rei could hear a different meaning.
The lady most likely suspected that there was something special about them, and even if there was nothing special about them, it would not be a loss for her to ask about the method of catching land eels or to establish a long-term purchase channel.
Chiyo Rei still remembered that the woman mentioned that her daughter loved to eat eels.
After struggling for a while, Chiyo Rei looked at Qingqi Zhe again, only to find that she was also looking at him.
The two eyes met, and the next second the admirer slightly moved his eyes and asked, "Do you want to see that lady?"
Chiyorei thought about this problem seriously, and soon he realized that it was best to meet him.
Not to mention that it is strange for them to return to the vegetable market to sell things again. The Asano family still doesn’t know what their background is. If they offend them, what if they get into trouble in the future?
After many weighings, Chiyo Rei finally said what he thought, "It's coming."
The admirer felt a little sad about Chiyo Rei's answer. He hoped that he could refuse, so that they could go back to the hut on the beach.
But he won't let his own ideas influence him.
Therefore, Qinqi Zhe was silent and went to the living room with Chiyo Rei under the guidance of the woman. After entering the courtyard, the land eels were taken away by the servants and taken to the kitchen.
The woman dutifully invited the two of them into an elegant room.
In the center of the room was a low coffee table, with a porcelain vase containing a bud of flowers placed on it. When Mrs. Asano saw someone coming, she took her eyes away from the bud and looked out the door.
"You are here." Mrs. Asano greeted with a smile, and then she said, "I'm sorry to invite you here in this way. I know it is rude."
Chiyorei scratched his head. Faced with this attitude, he didn't know how to answer the question.
But he didn't need to be embarrassed for too long before Mrs. Asano made a gesture of invitation.
"You two, sit down."
Chiyo Rei and Qing Qi Zhe looked at each other, then came to the coffee table and sat down face to face with Mrs. Asano across the porcelain vase.
After sitting firmly, Chiyo Rei felt that he was about to seize the initiative, so he took the initiative to ask, "Madam, why did you invite us here? Do you want to buy more land eels in the future?"
When asked, Mrs. Asano shook her head and said straight to the point, "No, I just want to meet you two, and by the way, who of you has the eye of God?"
Chiyo Rei sighed, this was indeed the case, but he was curious about why Mrs. Asano was so sure that one of him and the Qingqi had the eye of God.
Mrs. Asano did not avoid this issue, "My husband has obtained the eyes of God. When he was pursuing me, he did similar things with the things given by God, so I know a lot about it." Speaking of her husband, she said A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
All of a sudden Chiyo Rei felt like he was kicked by a dog walking on the roadside.
But Mrs. Asano's next sentence made him put away his original thoughts.
"If he had not passed away, he would have been willing to share his experiences with you." Mrs. Asano lowered her eyes and her tone became lonely.
Chiyo Rei felt like she was on a roller coaster.
At this time, the curious person suddenly asked, "Did he also get sick and die while walking on Tasha?"
"Yes, he stayed there too long." Mrs. Asano said lightly.
Although she said it lightly, Qinqi became even more uncomfortable. Far more people died in that disaster than he imagined.
The atmosphere gradually became tense.
Seeing that the topic had reached a deadlock, Chiyo Rei moved her lips to say something, but found that she didn't know what to say.
A flash of inspiration occurred, and Mrs. Asano's words came to his ears again.
"It's me who has the God's Eye of Thunder." Chiyo Rei said as he took out the God's Eye embedded in the circular shell from the small bag he carried.
After glancing at the God's Eye, Mrs. Asano took a deep breath, and her eyes towards Chiyo Rei became eager.
Chiyo Rei read the meaning in Mrs. Asano's eyes.
After a brief pause, he expressed his attitude before Mrs. Asano said those words, "I already have a family."
Mrs. Asano was stunned. Not only her, but Qingqi was also stunned.
Regardless of the two people's reactions, Chiyo Rei continued seriously, "We will go to Narukami Island together, so I'm sorry, I can't stay."
These words brought Qin Qi back to his senses, and his happy emotions emerged. He knew that the family that Chiyo Rei mentioned was exactly him.
