"According to the rules, one person can only bid once, right?" Su Xing searched the fishing net for a while and asked calmly.
"Yes...yes." Liu Dayu nodded hurriedly.
"Then I want this one." Su Xing's hand passed over the three-body Ho Luo, but then passed over the two-body He Luo with only a little back meat left. Finally, under the net, there was a big fish with its mouth opening and closing in the air. The carp stopped.
"This..." Old Li Tou behind him felt a little sorry. In the final analysis, he was too slow to punt the boat. Otherwise, even if we don't fight for the three-body Ho Luo that the Chen family has "set", we can still grab a good piece of meat from the two-body Ho Luo.
Now, this talkative young man can only choose an ordinary carp.
"Okay... okay!" Liu Dayu was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Su Xing waited for a few seconds but didn't see the price, so he took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and asked:
"enough?"
"Enough! Enough... No! More!" Liu Dayu nodded sharply, then shook his head fiercely.
Su Xing smiled slightly, handed over the silver, and said:
"Take it."
"Thank you... Young Master!" Liu Dayu touched his head and finally took it with some embarrassment.
The crowd of people watching suddenly started talking.
"Two taels of silver! This carp is fat, it's worth half a tael at most, right?"
"What's the use? Can it be compared with He Luoyu?"
"Looking at the extraordinary appearance of this young master, I didn't expect that I wouldn't dare to compete with the Chen family!"
The nervousness in the expressions of several servants of Mr. Chen's family nearby suddenly disappeared, and instead they became arrogant towards Su Xing, who was a little confused at first.
Su Xing didn't care and didn't mind it. He opened the fishing net with his own hands and picked up the strong carp with one hand.
At least it was about eight or nine pounds, with dense scales and a streamlined body shape. It doesn't have that strange fat feeling, but gives people a "beautiful" look.
Su Xing held the carp's tail with one hand. Some fishermen secretly laughed that this young man must have never caught fish before. Normally, it would be better to hold the fish's gills firmly to prevent the carp from breaking away.
However, the carp was very docile and was carried by Su Xing without struggling.
"Sir, don't dirty your hands, just put them in this basket."
At this time, old Li Tou, who felt sorry for himself, had already made a trip to his fishing boat and had a fish basket in his hand that was slightly larger than the washbasin.
The whole thing is woven from bamboo strips, and the color has turned a little white. The river water contained in it sways, but not a drop leaks out, which shows the skill of the weaver.
Su Xing thanked him, put the carp into the fish basket obediently, washed his hands at the same time, and carried the fish basket by himself.
Lin Xixi, who had been watching Su Xing from the side, also came forward. She was not unhappy at all that she had not bought Ho Luo fish meat. Instead, she looked at the carp in the basket with curiosity and said:
"What a beautiful carp!"
Su Xing smiled slightly and said:
"It's beautiful, but it's not worth eating. Let's go, old man, let's go look for holu fish along the river."
Lin Xixi gently held the fish basket with both hands, raised her head and whispered softly:
"Who says you can't eat it? I think it tastes good! Ah!"
Snap!
The carp that was originally swimming docilely in the bamboo basket suddenly flicked its tail, water rose up, and water droplets splashed on Lin Xixi, making the little girl jump in surprise.
"Okay!" Over there, Lao Li responded and turned around to leave.
Suddenly, a voice sounded at an inappropriate time:
"Guys, please stay."
The voice was very polite, but had a hint of the unquestionable air of a superior.
The expressions of several servants standing aside suddenly changed, and they hurriedly gathered around, blocking the path of Su Xing and the others.
Old Litou's expression changed and he said:
"You...what are you doing?"
"Don't worry, old man." A middle-aged man in rich clothes walked past the separated crowd. His temples were gray, but his appearance was well maintained, and he looked quite dignified. He said:
"It's just that I still need to discuss some things with a few people. Don't worry, I'll make up for it later."
"Master!" "Master!"
Several servants immediately shouted out, looking respectful.
"Is this Mr. Chen?"
"Why is Yuanwai Chen here in person?"
When the crowd of onlookers was puzzled, a young man behind Chen Yuanwai came out. He first glanced at the innocent Lin Xixi, and his eyes lit up.
However, she was obviously quite well-educated. After seeing the calm and calm Su Xing next to her, she looked away.
He walked to the servant aside and asked a few words, and then gave instructions softly. A muscular servant next to him directly grasped the gills of the three-body Ho Luo with one hand and lifted it up.
Then, under Liu Dayu's eager eyes, the young man walked back to Yuan Wai Chen and whispered a few words.
While Chen Yuanwai was still pondering, the young master looked at Su Xing and said:
"I heard that you originally planned to buy this Holuo fish? In the end, you only took an ordinary carp with you?
Unfortunately, my family just needs this Holuo fish. In this way, as an apology, why don't you come to my Chen's house to stay for a few days, and then we can taste this fine delicacy together. "
Then, he nodded, and the other servant beside him suddenly understood. He took out a "big yellow croaker" from his sleeve and said in front of everyone:
"Today, the three Ho Luo families are jointly funded by the four families of Chen, Li, He and Shang. Each household has one body and shares the fish.
In addition, Mr. He was very generous and made additional investment. He offered ten taels of gold. Please be a witness. "
Then, he handed the big yellow croaker into the hands of Liu Dayu, who was already dizzy.
At this time, the crowd had already exploded:
"Ten taels of gold! Liu Dayu is rich!!"
"As expected of Mr. Chen, he is too generous!"
"No wonder that young man only dared to buy a carp. Who dares to compete with the Chen family!"
Amid everyone's discussion, Mr. Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at the two people in front of him with dignity.
However, to his surprise, the beautiful and natural girl in front of him just glanced at him. She continued to play with the water splash without paying attention, as if she was competing with the carp that splashed her body just now.
A bit of displeasure suddenly welled up in his heart. Could it be that his graceful performance just now and the wealth he showed were not as good as a carp?
The ordinary-looking young man in front of him was even more calm, with no embarrassment in comparison. Instead, he was looking at himself with interest... No, he was looking at his father.
"Changhe, don't be rude!"
Chen Yuanwai suddenly scolded him. Chen Changhe's body was shaken and he quickly lowered his head:
"Dad! I..."
He lowered his head subconsciously, but for a moment he didn't understand what he had done wrong in front of his father.
However, at this time, the father, who had always been strict and ruthless, smiled kindly and said to the ordinary-looking young man in front of him:
"The child is so spoiled, please don't blame me. May I ask your surname?"
Then, he shouted to the servants who were blocking the road:
"If you still don't get out of the way, who asked you to block this young master's path!"
Several servants immediately stepped aside dejectedly.
From the beginning, Su Xing looked at this person with some interest. At this time, he didn't care, he cupped his hands and replied:
"It doesn't matter."
Su Xing did not answer his surname and seemed not to pay much attention to the members. There was already a hint of anger on Chen Changhe's face.
But Chen Yuanwai didn't seem to notice it. Under the curious eyes of everyone, he said:
"Since you don't want to talk in detail, I won't waste your time.
I just want to say that I quite like the fish in the bamboo basket in your hands.
I am willing to buy it with ten taels of gold, and I hope the young master will make it happen! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
