Chapter 734 Fierce Competition
Chapter 734 Fierce Competition
Crackling.
The big red-maned fish struggled desperately, and the foam from its bright red fish tail splashed onto its face.
The bright blue tentacles wrapped around Liang Qu, and the whole person seemed to be stuck in a ball of cold jelly, soft and floating.
cool!
In winter, wrapping yourself in the sea cloth is too cold and damp and makes you feel uncomfortable.
It’s a different feeling in summer, the ultimate pure enjoyment.
Liang Qu lay down on Haifangzhu's tentacle, as if he was leaning on a top-notch waterbed sofa. When he looked up, he saw the other huge tentacles casting shadows, moving accurately among the caravan and selecting goods.
Swish!
Several gazes came towards him.
Passing through the gap between the tentacles, Liang Qu saw with his own eyes Ke Wenbin poking his head out, then leaping to Xu Yuelong's side and pointing and talking, with the smug look of a treacherous villain.
"Boss, look, I said this guy took a kickback! This is such a big precious fish, I've never seen one this big before, at least a hundred pounds, how much is it worth? I think a hundred thousand taels is not enough, two or three hundred thousand is easy."
Ke Wenbin spread his hands and gestured to make out an imaginary five-foot-long fish.
"Everyone has seen it. Boss, you can't cover it up! Get him! Confiscate the treasure fish!"
"That's right! Give him a serious warning!" Bai Yinbin raised his hands and feet to support, "I, Bai Yinbin, reported the case to Liang Qu, the water magistrate, under my real name. He didn't come to work in May and June! He hasn't been on the boat for almost a year. If we don't punish him, his brothers will not accept it!"
"The enemy!"
Xu Yuelong was looking at the account book when people appeared in front of him one after another and said "take a break", so he put it down in laughter.
"Bullshit kickbacks!"
Liang Qu shook off Hai Fangzhu's passionate touch, wiped the water foam off his face, and walked over with a proud look on his face.
"This is a personal gift between me and the abbot. What do you land dwellers know? Not reporting for duty in May and June is for the sake of the imperial court. Do you river officials understand? I have other important tasks to fulfill even if I don't leave the ship! I will go to more important places to shine and make a difference!"
"Guests, don't worry. Xiaoshui helped me get to know all of you friends, so I'm a little happier. Everyone has it."
Umibozu raised his hand and opened the eggs of a diamond squid. He distributed a dozen eggs to everyone present like sugar-roasted chestnuts.
I also got a lot of fat catfish. I held the fish by its fins, rolled up one by its whiskers and put it into my mouth to savor it.
Oh shit!
Damn it.
Ke Wenbin gritted his teeth at this visible differential treatment, took a big bite of the fish eggs and sucked the fish juice.
The big red-maned beast in Liang Qu's arms is not as big as the blood lion, but it is bigger in size, at least twenty kilograms. If it is sold, it will be worth at least ten thousand taels. It is a good treasure that can enhance qi and blood and physical strength. Then look at yourself.
But it’s just delicious fish eggs.
Sadness came from it for a while.
"Whoever sees it gets a share!"
Xiang Fangsu took advantage of the situation and replaced Ke Wenbin to make trouble.
"Take it!" Liang Qu pulled out the blue wolf and generously cut off the two small fins on the left and right of the treasure fish. "Good stuff, it's crispy after being fried. I usually save all of it for Ah Fei at home as a snack. Today I'm giving it to you. Don't say that I'm stingy as a brother."
"Who are you trying to fool with two fish fins? At least a fish head stew!"
"And some fried fish fillet."
"You don't know what's good. If you want it or not, forget it, Ah Fei!"
Liang Qu never wasted anything, he just raised his hand and threw it into the lake.
The fat catfish in the river swung its tail, jumped high like a whale, opened its big mouth to catch it, and then fell into the water.
Boom!
The waves pushed aside.
Foam splashed like rain, and the river was full of white bubbles.
"Let's go home and stew fish!"
After saying that, Liang Qu no longer paid attention to the crowd. He pinched the fish's gills, waved goodbye to Hai Fangzhu, and happily carried the big catch home.
Good harvest today!
First there was the Toad King, and then there was Umibozu, who helped to make connections, and that was equally beneficial.
What does it mean to have the best of both worlds?
noon.
“Fish head tofu soup is here!”
The kitchen knife scooped up the chopped green onions, and Aunt Zhang wiped them off with her hand, wrapped the casserole in cotton cloth and brought it to the table. The soup was milky white, fragrant, and the green green onions were floating in the water.
Ke Wenbin, Xiang Fangsu and his "disciples" Guan Congjian and others who came to eat for free held their chopsticks with their index fingers agitated.
"Ah Shui is really nice. I take back what I said this morning! You are truly a rare talent, a fat man among men!" Ke Wenbin gave him a thumbs up.
"It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. I'm willing to give up a fish head." Liang Qu poured himself a bowl of soup. "Why didn't Brother Xu come? Did he go fishing?"
"I am busy writing a letter."
Xiang Fangsu took a bite of the tender tofu, felt the heat churning in his stomach, and felt satisfied.
"What letter should I write?"
"A letter asking for help. On August 18, the top-quality Ruyi Changqi will be auctioned. It was bought with the Baishou Pill. If you don't have three great herbs, don't even think about buying it.
General Xu didn't expect this when he came here, and he didn't bring many treasures with him, nor did he take many banknotes, so he wrote a letter home asking for help. There are only two months left, so it should be in time if we take the emergency route."
"Is Ruyi Changqi so popular?"
"More than that, there are many long qi that bring bad luck, but 99% of the long qi that can increase luck is rare." Xiang Fangsu wiped his mouth, "I don't know what kind of bloody storm will happen in August, and the price is outrageous. I saw Wei Lin ran to the sea fleet at that time, probably to ask his uncle for help."
"That Grandmaster is his uncle?"
Liang Qu recalled what he saw and heard when he boarded the ship.
At that time, Wei Lin, Xu Yuelong and he all stood behind a certain Zhenxiang.
"Yes, Grandmaster Yang Weizhi, his mother's brother, blood relative, the two families have intermarried for... two or three times, right?"
"There are more than just side branches, including the one on Yanxie Street."
"I think Commander Zuo Heng of the Monster Hunting Division is also very concerned..."
"What a generous move."
Liang Qu drank the fish soup and felt a little emotional.
You can tell whether something is good or not.
He has had a lot of good fortune since he started practicing, but he has never gotten any lucky breaks.
I had some thoughts about Ruyi Changqi, but now they are ruthlessly shattered.
Guan Congjian didn't care about what everyone said. He drank a bowl of rice in one gulp and then served another.
……
The mist and rain are hazy.
Under the deliberate publicity of Tianbo Chamber of Commerce, Pingyang Prefecture's Shangjia Ruyi Changqi sent out its best men to deliver invitations to other places, expanding outward at an astonishing speed.
Many masters were inspired by this and intended to benefit future generations.
This time there is more than one, three long breaths!
If you can't get the best Ruyi, Hansui and Xuanming are also very good, and the probability of getting them is definitely high.
As a result, all the major families asked their younger generations to raise funds and rush to Pingyang Prefecture.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, a group of "new officials" came to the Hebo Office.
The last session’s Twenty-Eight Constellations of Wolf Smoke!
This year's martial arts examination has ended, and after intense discussions, the last session has obviously selected more places. Four people chose to come to Pingyang, including Zhu Zongwang and Huo Hongyuan.
The two came to Pingyang Prefecture to take up their posts as they had agreed to do in Huangzhou, but on the first day they were assigned work by Wei Lin without even being given a greeting, which was quite like an old employee trying to intimidate the newcomer.
The morning of the 23rd.
In the past three days of trading, the total cargo throughput remained the same, or even only half completed, and more and more people rushed to the port to engage in "retail" in addition to bulk goods.
Hai Fangzhu was in high spirits. Of course, even if she didn't trade on weekdays, she always looked happy. When she saw Liang Qu in the morning, she stuffed another blood lion weighing more than twelve kilograms into her hands.
Liang Qu felt like he was getting some kind of "dividend".
"Master, where is the Octopus King?"
"Why do you ask this, Xiaoshui?"
"Maybe in the future I'll have a chance to go to the sea and meet the Lord."
"That's not necessary. I rarely stay by the king's side on weekdays, but Xiaoshui, please find me if you want." Haifangzhu waved his tentacles and rolled out a water map. "This is a new business route map. I will go there at about the same time every year."
