The silence lasted for a while, and whispers began.
"Six taels and five cents!"
"Really sixty-two-five cents?"
"Weird, it's not about getting rich, it's about treasure fish. Why is Ah Shui so expensive? So good?"
Obviously, everyone was shocked by Master Hu's offer.
Li Libo, who was standing next to him, pinched his fingers and calculated, and was startled.
Chen Jiechang's red blood bass weighed two kilograms and cost seven taels and six cents. He only made three taels of silver, which amounted to more than one tael and one cent per catty.
But Liang Qu’s horn pomfret cost three pounds and two taels to the dollar, which actually cost six taels and five cents! The total weighs one pound and two taels, which is almost twice as much as the red blood bass!
Wait, why did I say that the red blood bass "only" made three taels.
Li Libo fell into silence.
At the same time, Liang Qu also fell into great joy.
I thought that a treasure fish would only greatly shorten the time it takes to enter the martial arts gym, but I never expected that the progress bar would be filled up!
Counting the twenty-eight yuan in cash saved these days, Liang Qu's total wealth has exceeded ninety-two and three yuan!
Not only did he meet the minimum requirement of seven taels to enter the martial arts hall, but he even paid for his taxes after the fall.
As for the idea of not selling it, I have absolutely no idea.
The fact that the opponent's martial artist was able to offer an obviously different price showed that he did not rely on the rural fishermen's short knowledge and ignorance of the horned pomfret to randomly raise the price. Otherwise, he could have offered a price similar to that of the red-blooded perch.
Furthermore, a few taels of silver is really not much for a martial artist. For example, Chen Jiechang earns a hundred cents a day and only three taels a month. However, the high cost of living makes him appear not wealthy.
There is nothing you can do if the price is suppressed. There is no reason to go to Pingyang Town and you will not be suppressed. The fishermen are not stupid, and the martial artists are not stupid either. If you sell it directly, you can save more than ten miles of travel.
"Sell, of course, but I have a question to ask Mr. Hu."
Liang Qu calmed down and made a small request.
Martial Master Hu said concisely and to the point: "Ask."
“Why is the price of horn pomfret twice as much as that of red blood bass, both of which are treasure fish?”
The fishermen nearby all pricked up their ears and were very curious.
After all, the world of martial arts is mysterious and fascinating. It is undoubtedly refreshing to be able to secretly know something that others don't know.
Hearing Liang Qu's question, Master Hu was not impatient and explained: "The horns of ox horns and pomfret can be used as medicine and made into secret pills. It has the effect of refining qi and can help break the blood barrier. I am at this level now." , it is of great use to me.”
I see!
Liang Qu thought of the pair of horns that he had kept earlier, and was glad that he did not throw them away.
Master Hu was quite sincere.
Everything went smoothly next. Liang Qu presented fresh horned pomfret, and Master Hu threw a bag of silver coins and left without even asking for the cloth bag.
Before leaving, he shouted: "If anyone can catch the same strange-shaped treasure fish in the future, come and tell me, I won't make you suffer."
The fishermen at the port cheered in unison.
The four levels of skin, flesh, bone, and blood. According to the previously revealed information, Martial Master Hu has reached the fourth level. After stepping through, Martial Master is no longer an honorific title for everyone, but a solid ability. Several Baoyu is indeed crucial.
Liang Qu thought secretly.
After Master Hu left, the fishermen on the port no longer cared about their voices. They all congratulated Liang Qu on his good luck. Some even wanted to touch it, trying to get something mysterious and mysterious.
In the past half month, Liang Qu has caught a yellow croaker, a spot-headed fish, and now he has even caught a treasure fish. He is simply a walking lucky man.
In the crowd of people, Liang Qu firmly grasped the money bag and did not refuse.
Fishing on boats is more uncertain than farming and harvesting grain. Therefore, fishermen often believe in the existence of some mysterious powers more than farmers. There are also many large and small sacrificial activities in Yixing City, but in the end it is because of the developed productivity. Large families took the lead and used livestock.
Of course, there are extraordinary mortals like warriors in this world, and Liang Qu is not sure whether there are those indescribable things.
For a time, two people in Shangrao Pier caught the limelight of Baoyu, but almost all of them were taken away by Liang Qu alone.
Chen Jiechang stood outside the crowd and touched the heavy money bag. He felt unwilling but had no choice but to leave alone.
When the excitement subsided and the fishermen dispersed, Li Libo called out strangely: "Dear mother, six taels, my family has never been able to save so much money for generations."
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't know who the person who is about to go to the martial arts school to become a disciple is." Liang Qu stuffed his money bag, returned to the boat, secretly put away the two fish horns that were as big as finger bones on the boat, and at the same time grabbed Li Libo's family's The fishing net was handed back to him, "Your fishing net has helped me a lot."
"Hey, why don't you treat me to a meal?"
"That was the plan."
Having made a fortune and was about to enter a martial arts gym, Liang Qu looked high-spirited and naturally wanted to treat him.
The two went directly to the foot shop and ordered a chicken, a plate of mutton, a plate of pork, and a pot of hot wine. They spent hundreds of dollars and had a delicious meal with Li Libo.
Liang Qu didn't drink at all, and he wasn't used to drinking, but Li Libo could drink. Fishermen often went into the water, so there was no one who didn't drink. In addition, he was happy today, so he ordered a pot for him, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while.
When he was full of wine and food, Li Libo blushed, looked left and right, and whispered: "When are you going to the martial arts gym?"
Liang Qu smiled: "How did you know I was going to the martial arts gym?"
He was originally a loner, and there were few people he had close relationships with in the port, but Liang Qu was different. He was generous, and he had treated Li Libo to dinner twice, so the relationship between the two was much closer than at the beginning.
"Nonsense, you asked me so carefully last time, even a fool could see what you were thinking, but it's normal. Who hasn't thought about practicing martial arts and becoming a martial artist? That's a master, not like us, who have muddy legs and are covered in fishy smell."
Li Libo's tone was full of envy. He became a martial artist, registered, got his own subsidies from the court, and got out of his lowly status. He no longer had to go fishing all day long, and he no longer had to deal with the smell of fish all over his body. , the soap locust cannot be washed off at all, and it has a pickled smell.
The Dashun Dynasty was founded only sixty years ago, and the weather has been even better in recent years. It may be said that it is not enough to eat, but it is indeed very tiring to run around for that little food every day. No one wants to live such a life for the rest of their lives.
All the young men under the age of 20 in Yixing City have dreamed of being amazing, being appreciated by experts, and becoming a great master.
It's a pity that most people can't pass the high threshold of seven taels of silver. Even if they can afford it, they will not have much hope in the end, even if they are poor in literature and rich in military skills.
At first, Li Libo only thought that Liang Qu was also a young man with a dream, but unexpectedly, a treasure fish caught him today, which made him look at him with admiration.
Sixty-two-five dollars is almost enough to meet the threshold.
I'm afraid this kid doesn't want to enter the martial arts gym with him.
But it was such a coincidence that not long after I asked him, he got a windfall that allowed him to enter a martial arts gym, and there was also the fight between Scarlet Zhang and Zhang. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for more than half a month, which is quite strange.
Li Libo felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. He just felt that there was no one like Liang Qu in the entire Yixing City.
"Yes, my father saved some savings before, which is enough." Liang Qu felt that there was no need to deny it.
Li Libo looked like he was really like this, hugging Liang Qu's neck and laughing: "That's a good relationship. I was worried that I would be bullied when I went to the martial arts gym. It just so happens that the two of us can be brothers!"
"Um."
