Chen Qingjiang hugged the big carp and grinned with joy.
The appearance of the carp was the same as that of ordinary carps, with two short whiskers at the corners of its mouth, but its back was glowing with green light. It looked green at first glance, but it turned out to be colorful in the sunlight.
The size is even more astonishing, half as big as an adult, weighing less than fifteen pounds!
"Green-backed dragon carp!"
Liang Qu's eyes bulged out.
This fish is more expensive than a catty of two taels of horn pomfret. A pound of meat costs three taels of silver. The one in front of you costs at least forty-five taels!
When the people inside heard a word they had never heard before, they all turned their heads to look, only to find that it was Liang Qu who was leaning outside and quickly got out of the way.
Liang Qu's appearance was also unexpected by Chen Qingjiang. He shouted excitedly: "Ah Shui! Why are you here? You are a martial artist now. Please help me see if this big carp is a treasure fish?"
Liang Qu took off his coat, put it on Chen Qingjiang, and affirmed: "It's a treasure fish, a green-backed dragon carp. It's very rare. A pound of meat can be worth three taels of silver. Yours is at least forty or fifty taels!"
"Weird, forty or fifty taels? Isn't that enough for me to earn in a lifetime?"
"Is it more expensive than the horned pomfret that Ah Shui caught last time?"
The onlookers' blood surged with enthusiasm. They could only earn eleven or two taels in a year without eating, drinking or paying taxes.
Is a precious fish now worth five or six years of hard work?
"Forty or fifty taels?"
Chen Qingjiang was so shocked that he couldn't close his eyes. His face turned even redder. He couldn't tell whether he was cold or excited. It was even more exaggerated than being drunk.
"Okay, okay, let's all disperse!" Liang Qu waved his hand to disperse the crowd and asked everyone to move away. "We've all fallen into the water. We need to go back and change clothes quickly. Don't block the road!"
Hearing Liang Qu mention the cold, Chen Qingjiang seemed to have just reacted and started to shiver all over.
The people around him didn't dare to disobey Liang Qu's words and retreated early to clear a path.
They watched Liang Qu take Chen Qingjiang away with envy in their eyes, and gathered around again to discuss.
"Old Chen's family is soaring to the sky!"
"Yes, Ah Shui has become a martial artist, and the life of Chen Qingjiang's family has also improved. Damn it, I heard that Ah Shui gave some bait. If you spread it, you can catch a lot of fish in the winter. You can catch a lot of fish in a day. There are four or five coins, silver, not copper! I actually caught such a big treasure fish this time."
"Weird, there are so many?"
"Yes, why not? I followed him and saw it with my own eyes last time. But after he left, I went to lower the net again, and there was no hair at all. It was all because of the bait!"
"What kind of bait? Can we go get some?"
"That bait was prepared by Ah Shui's master. Chen Qingjiang himself doesn't have any recipes. He just takes it and uses it every day. How dare you ask for it? Be careful that Mr. Liang will cut you!"
"What's this called? What kind of chicken and dog are they?"
"What about chickens and dogs? One person can achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven!"
"Ah, yes, yes, when I talk about this, I think of Liang Guangtian. He really laughed to death. He wanted to come to collect debts before, but he was beaten out by Chen Xiang with a stick."
"Hahaha, I saw it, he looks like a dog!"
"Dog, dog, dog, you fucking dog!"
Liang Guangtian, who was peeking at the excitement in the alley, was so angry that he tossed his sleeves, cursed and disappeared into the alley.
Liang Qu helped Chen Qingjiang get home, broke the ice on the surface of the water tank in the courtyard, put in the treasure fish, and called Sister-in-law Adi to come out.
Adi heard the sound and rushed over. She was startled when she saw Chen Qingjiang's face was red and his whole body was shaking. He asked what was going on.
"Uncle Chen saw a treasure fish when he was out on the boat today. He almost lost his life. He jumped into the water and caught it. When the fish came up, he didn't even have half of his life. Sister-in-law Adi quickly changed my uncle's clothes and boiled some hot water with a towel. Wet it and apply it, be careful of wind and cold.”
"Oh ok."
After hearing this, Adi quickly picked up Chen Qingjiang and helped him into the house, all in a panic.
When Liang Qu came out, he found Shunzi and his little Kui, who had just learned to walk, lying by the water tank, staring at the green-backed dragon carp in confusion.
Liang Qu smiled knowingly, as a child is patient and can stare at anything for a whole day.
"Watch it carefully, don't let anyone come and take it away, just call if anything happens."
Shunzi nodded solemnly.
Liang Qu patted his head, went out to the village medical center to grab a packet of medicine, and brought it back for Adi to fry.
Falling into the water in winter is no small matter. Chen Qingjiang looked lively and energetic, all because of the anger in his heart.
After the medicine was fried and he changed his clothes, Chen Qingjiang's complexion became a little better, and he said with joy, "Ah Shui, this treasure fish is exactly half of each of us."
"How can that be done? This fish was not caught with my bait. It should be regarded as Uncle Chen's own."
Chen Qingjiang saw the green-backed dragon carp on his way back, and he caught it himself. Liang Qu had nothing to do with it and shouldn't be divided equally.
But Chen Qingjiang was very insistent and insisted that the fish came because of the scent of the bait.
What kind of bait is it? It’s just yellow mud.
The treasure fish can also be attracted by the yellow mud. If it has that skill, it will go down to the mud pit at the bottom of the river on its own.
The corner of Liang Qu's mouth twitched. He couldn't point it out in person, so he could only acquiesce.
Seeing that Liang Qu agreed, Chen Qingjiang asked Adi to take out the family name, which was simply sixteen catties and eight taels!
Three taels of silver per catty, that’s fifty taels of money!
Adi was so frightened that she couldn't even hold her weight.
For more than half a month, Chen Qingjiang has indeed been able to earn a lot of money every day, but the impact is nothing compared to the sudden gain of dozens of taels of silver.
Liang Qu touched his arms and took out thirty taels of silver and put it on the table.
"Uncle Chen, to be honest, the treasure fish is of great use to me now. I will give you the money and I will take the fish directly."
"That's a lot more. It's thirty taels! I'm talking about 50-50."
"It's not much. It's an equal share. Uncle Chen actually caught the fish in the water. It's such a big sin. It should be more. Okay, that's it. I'm really in a hurry, so I'm leaving."
After speaking, Liang Qu hurriedly left with the green-backed dragon and carp, leaving behind a helpless Chen Qingjiang.
"Ah Shui feels sorry for you, why should I be unhappy?" A Di put the money away and curled her lips.
"What do you know? Where's Ah Shui's clothes just now? Go wash them quickly, dry them and send them to others later! Wash them cleanly and don't let them smell."
"You don't need to tell me that it was soaked in water early in the morning. Please drink the medicine quickly so that I can free up my hands."
"Pfft, this is too painful."
Liang Qu carried the big fish and returned to the boat under the surprised eyes of everyone.
In uninhabited waters, Liang Qu summoned the three beasts. While waiting, he used the green wolf to skillfully disembowel the green-backed dragon carp, take out its internal organs, pull out the carp's fishing line, and chop off the fins.
Blood was flowing on the ship's deck, and the Sky Water Centipede lay down from its wrist, lying on it and sucking heavily.
The sound of water flow sounded from beside the awning boat, and the three beasts emerged from the water one after another.
Smelling the smell of blood, Fat Catfish and Zhupolong stared at the dead Green-backed Dragon Carp.
The opportunity for evolution is right in front of us.
Liang Qu divided the internal organs into two pieces, one large and one small, mixed with carp scales, and fed them to the fat catfish and the immobile one respectively.
After a while, Ze Ding lit up.
[Taihuasuchus can evolve into Ceratosuchus, does it evolve? 】
[The six-bearded catfish can evolve into the tiger-headed catfish. Does it evolve? 】
Liang Qu could hold back his excitement.
Evolve, evolve!
