Three fish baskets filled with fish were moved from the boat, attracting the attention of many fishermen. Especially when the most eye-catching spot fish appeared, it aroused a small discussion.
"Whose boat is this? Did you encounter a school of fish? You're so lucky, yo, there's also a spotted head!"
"I don't know him, but he looks familiar. There are only a few famous sailors on the port. Doesn't this ship look familiar?"
"Isn't this the Ah Shui family's sampan? That leper insisted on changing it."
"Who is Ah Shui?"
"You forgot, the boy from Liang Dajiang's family, the weird one."
"Is he still alive? Isn't he an orphan? The last time I saw him, he went to borrow food and he was kicked out."
"Shh, you are living well, what are you talking about?"
Hearing this, the fishermen present were a little surprised. They obviously didn't expect that an orphan could survive on his own. It was really rare.
"Bah, bah, bah, he's also a poor kid. Fortunately, he seems to be able to support himself. It's not easy."
"I'm afraid we're going to have another good move at the port! It's a pity that he's not my kid, he has no future at all."
The fishermen sighed for a while, talked a few words with envy, and left one after another when they saw the fish baskets being moved into the fishing stall shop.
It's hard to live as an orphan. Although it's rare to survive alone, after all, it's none of your own business. You're just joining in the fun. Is it possible that you can have a big future in the future?
On the other side, Lin Baosong weighed the fish and settled the accounts: "Including the spotted head, the total is one hundred and thirty-two cents. How about you count it as one hundred and thirty-five?"
"Give me a piece of silver plus ten coins."
"A piece of silver?" Lin Songbao was lost in thought.
Prices have been stable in recent years. The official price is that one tael of silver can be exchanged for about a thousand copper plates. However, silver retains its value. One thousand copper plates will definitely not be exchanged for one tael of silver. One thousand and one tael will be enough.
One hundred and thirty-five cents was exchanged for one piece of silver, which was a slight profit.
Thinking of this, Lin Songbao agreed, took back the string of copper plates he took out, and replaced them with a grain of broken silver and ten copper plates.
"Keep it."
"Um."
After walking out of the fish shop, Liang Qu went to the foot shop to eat as usual, still like the third child, thinking while eating.
"I already have two or three yuan, and I still have four or two or seven yuan to go to the martial arts gym. If I can save a hundred yuan every day, it will only take two months, but it is too conspicuous, and I have to have someone to do it. Ascension process.”
With the help of the fat catfish, Liang Qu's daily fish catch was higher than that of ordinary fishermen. However, a few days ago, he was still earning 30 yuan a day. The sudden increase was too strange, and he needed some time to adapt.
As for why it suddenly sold more than 100 coins today, who is not lucky enough to encounter a school of fish?
Just like catching yellow croaker, it doesn't matter once or twice. Only when the number of times increases, you need a suitable excuse.
"In addition, taxes are due at the end of autumn. Tax money is also a problem. Two months is not enough. If you can't pay the taxes, you will be arrested and sent to do corvee. Niang Xipi, this is a hellish feudal society."
Liang Qu has a clear plan for his future. He must learn martial arts.
Not only come here to see how big the world is, but also because there is a Zhao Mansion hanging above your head.
The stupid old guy is like the Sword of Damocles.
Liang Qu took the last bite of his meal bitterly. After paying the bill, he returned home and lay down on the bed.
"It would be great if I could catch a treasure fish like a tiger-headed fish."
He thought that someone in the port next door had caught a five-pound tiger-headed spot last month. The martial artist wanted to take it away at the market and sold it for a sky-high price of three taels and five taels of silver.
This kind of fish has a miraculous effect on strengthening the body. A single fish can save a warrior more than a month's work, and it may be more precious than the precious lotus root he discovered.
Just when Liang Qu was thinking about taking the time to let the six-bearded catfish look for it, there was a sudden noise outside the house, but it soon stopped.
"Hey, someone was quarreling again..."
This is true in a small area. If any household makes a loud noise, it will be clearly heard by the neighbors.
Liang Qu thought that when he had money in the future, he would definitely buy a big yard. Ten in and ten out, and ten beautiful maids with clear waists, thin waists, long legs, fair skin and beautiful appearance. They would bring tea and ask for tea in a coquettish voice, which was better than the master. Life.
"Bang, bang bang."
A knock on the door interrupted his fantasy. Liang Qu stood up in surprise. Could it be Zheng Xiang again?
"Who?"
"I."
The visitor was talking nonsense, but Liang Qu quickly got up and opened the door. He remembered the voice too well and couldn't forget it.
Opening the door, Liang Qu saw Chen Qingjiang stuffing a small bag into himself with a dark face, turned around and left without saying a word.
"Uncle Chen! This?"
Liang Qu didn't even catch up. The figure had already returned home. He had no choice but to open the bag and was surprised to find that there was actually a lot of rice inside.
He understood it all in an instant.
In order to make more money, Uncle Chen had to walk more than ten miles to sell fish in the town every day. He was also a loyal man, and he probably didn't know that he had the ability to support himself, so he just thought that his life was still difficult.
"This...isn't necessary."
Liang Qu sighed, he would not forget the kindness of a piece of cake.
Without that piece of cake, he might have starved to death at home. Just because he was studying martial arts and the autumn taxes cost money, he never had time to do anything.
Presumably the dispute just now was between Uncle Chen and his wife?
Liang Qu was very ashamed.
When Chen Qingjiang returned home after delivering the rice, the atmosphere at home was still silent.
His wife Adi was sitting in the corner sulking alone, not even looking at her husband, just arranging threads and sending rice. If it was normal, she would not refuse, but her youngest son was ill a few days ago. After being cured, my savings are gone, and I still have to pay taxes in the future. That’s three people’s taxes!
Isn't this just trying to make someone look fat?
For a moment, the two of them were relatively speechless.
The candlelight flickered inside the room, illuminating the walls in a dark red color.
After a long time, Chen Qingjiang stood up suddenly. The candle flame was suppressed by the wind pressure, shaking A Di almost to the point of pricking her hand. She raised her head angrily, but unexpectedly her body suddenly became lighter.
Adi was confused and extremely embarrassed: "What are you going to do again?"
Chen Qingjiang hugged his wife, lowered his head and blew out the candles, saying in a loud voice: "Sleep!"
"The eldest baby and the second baby are sleeping!"
"Two little pigs, what are you afraid of?"
Adi's mind went blank, her face flushed, and she was not as angry as before.
This is how you should deal with women.
...
At the door, hearing the noise coming from inside the house, Liang Qu retracted his hand from trying to knock on the door, looking embarrassed.
I thought it would be bad for the couple to quarrel over themselves, so I wanted to come to apologize, but I encountered something embarrassing like this.
Carrying the rice bag in his hand, Liang Qu could only take it home and wait until later.
...
For the next half month, Liang Qu spent time selling fish at the port, gradually beginning to increase the value of his daily fish catch.
It gradually increased from 40 texts to 80 texts, focusing on the character of a young and promising fishing expert.
The daily income of an ordinary fisherman is about sixty or seventy cents. An experienced and mature fisherman like Chen Qingjiang can earn eighty cents. Some good fishermen can earn up to one hundred cents.
Liang Qu was able to achieve this level at the age of fifteen or sixteen, which was obviously quite powerful, and he became quite famous in the port for a while.
Everyone was surprised that an orphan could do so much.
What was even more unexpected was that in addition to earning the envy and jealousy of other fishermen, Liang Qu also unexpectedly gained the favor of a matchmaker...
"I told you that I have no plans to get married for the time being."
Liang Qu quickly untied the rope and set up a boat to escape in the face of the matchmaker's disappointed eyes.
The back view seemed to be in a hurry. The fishermen on the shore thought it was Liang Qu who was shy and laughed at him one after another.
"Don't make it difficult for Ah Shui, he is still a baby!"
"I'm afraid I still don't understand how good women are!"
"It's a pity. Why don't you introduce it to me?"
"You old bachelor, get out of here!"
Liang Qu never expected that after he showed his "fishing talent" on the pier, he would become popular in the dating market. He was relieved when he rowed until he could no longer see the pier.
When he reached the lotus root waters, he slapped the water with his paddle.
The huge Pig Dragon slowly emerged from the water. When it saw the boat, it flicked its tail and placed a pair of paws on the edge of the boat.
Seeing no one around, Liang Qu took the fishing net and the pig urine bubble filled with air and dived into the water.
One person and one animal were looking for Ah Fei's figure in the water.
Liang Qu's daily limit of fish catch is about 150 fen, but he can only have 80 fen on the table, so he spends the rest of his time looking for treasure fish, especially fat catfish.
But the treasure fish was hard to find, and it went undiscovered for several days, until news came from Ah Fei’s spiritual link just now that the treasure fish had been found!
