Chapter 272: The Thrift Market

Not to mention, the distance just now, plus this fish tank is transparent, plus Mayor Wallis is wearing a blue dress today, Jiang Hai really didn't see it clearly, and now that he is close, Jiang Hai found that there is really something in this small fish tank.

The main color of this thing is blue, about three or four centimeters long, and there are white lines on it.

It's like a long blue and white strip with six huge nurseries growing on it, and it looks really beautiful and mysterious.

Subconsciously, Jiang Hai stretched out his hand and wanted to touch this thing.

"Hey!" However, Jiang Hai's hand had just been stretched out before he was stopped by Mayor Wallis.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I haven't really seen this little thing yet, it's really beautiful." If you don't look closely, you'll really ignore this little play, but this thing is really good.

"It's not that you won't be allowed to touch it, but this thing is highly poisonous, they feed on jellyfish, and there are many kinds of jellyfish toxins stored in their bodies, and if they are poisoned by it, it is almost impossible to live, because no one knows what kind of poison you have." Looking at Jiang Hai, Mayor Wallis said solemnly, he remembered that Jiang Hai had a fishing ground, this kind of dangerous creature, although it is rare along the coast of the United States, but it will happen occasionally, if it is stung, it will be troublesome.

"It's so powerful, what is this? Sea slugs? Hearing Mayor Wallis's words, Jiang Hai was also startled, and withdrew his hand a little brightly, it seems that the laws of nature are really like that, and those who are good-looking are not easy to mess with.

"It's one of the sea slugs, this thing is called the Blue Dragon, also called the petrel, and its scientific name is the Atlantic Sea Crowne." I heard that Jiang Hai was quite interested in this thing. Mayor Wallis said to Jiang Hai as he walked.

The origin of the name of this creature is derived from the name of the god of the sea, Glaucus, in ancient Greek mythology.

Some people say that the god of the sea in Greek mythology is not Poseidon? But in fact, Poseidon is the emperor of the sea, this is just a sea god, and there is a dimensional difference in rank...... Legend has it that Glaukos was originally an ordinary fisherman.

But one day. He found an herb that could bring fish back to life, and his soul of death was faintly activated.

After eating this herb, he becomes a mermaid, half man and half fish, divided into three forms, with a man on the left and a fish on the right, the lower body of a man on top, the lower body of a fish on the bottom, and the head of a man on top. Here's the fish head...... Ahem, it's far away.

Anyway, in the end, he is not a good story, about his main myth and lace, is the love triangle with the water nymph Sculla and the witch Circe, but his appearance, in 1777, European scientists first discovered the sea slug and borrowed his name. Poseidon!

Over the years, this slug has been found in many places. Africa, Europe, Australia, Mozambique, there are traces of this slug, and not only in the Atlantic. There are also in the Pacific Ocean, but it's called habitual, so it's always called the Atlantic Sea God.

Because this creature can mate and reproduce on its own. So the population is not small.

So even though this creature has a strong toxicity, its beautiful appearance still makes many people willing to keep them as pets.

Winthrop Town naturally does not have such idle rich people, although Jiang Hai feels that this thing is quite beautiful, but to be honest, he still prefers beasts, so he just asks.

In the future, if you enter the sea, you will hide farther away when you see this thing, and you can't afford to provoke yourself.

When Mayor Wallis explained the origin of the blue dragon, before they knew it, they had walked from the town to the sea.

At this time, a lot of people have gathered on the beach, including Robbins who drove over, and there are many other people gathered here, on the beach, there are a lot of difficult positions and small tents, and there are a lot of old goods in them, which are things to be traded for a while, Jiang Hai also glanced at them when he left, most of them were some discarded household appliances and the like.

The disposal of old household appliances in the United States is a very troublesome thing, because it does not mean that you just throw it away, every old household appliance has to be split separately, and even sent to the treatment plant by itself, some things are recycled, and even money has to be added.

This is very difficult for the American imperialists who are naturally lazy to accept, but the punishment here is too heavy.

If you are caught littering, you will not only have to deduct money, but you will even go to jail, so in the United States, there are actually a lot of used goods all the time.

Some people will not throw away the old things after they change them to new things, because of the trouble, most of them will be stacked at the door, or in the warehouse, if there are homeless people who take a fancy to them, they can be moved directly.

If it is new, at least some valuable thrift goods, it will be sent to such a thrift market.

Jiang Hai glanced at it, there were really a lot of things placed here.

There are old home appliances, refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, air conditioners, water heaters, etc., old game consoles, all kinds of them, PS, handheld, XBOX, and even the legendary red and white machine, etc.

Old clothes, down jackets, even fur coats, some cloths, knick-knacks, old books, old drinking glasses, old computers, etc., almost as far as the eye can see, this place is really like a department store, as long as you want to buy something, you can buy it here.

But the premise is that these things are worthless and very shabby.

When Jiang Hai looked here, Mayor Wallis over there had already walked to the front of the stage, and after reading a sacrificial text aloud, he poured the fish tank in his hand into the seawater, and the blue dragon that was caught also swam into the sea.

Jiang Hai also said to Robbins as soon as possible, and plunged into this piece of old goods.

However, Jiang Hai will not let his stomach be wronged, before visiting this thrift market, he also specially bought a tortilla, ate it while walking, and looked at the various things around him.

For Jiang Hai, he actually lacks nothing, although Moses Adams is giving Jiang poster tax recently, but since he took over the fishery in October last year, he has no income, only paying, no paying, that means that national taxes and state taxes do not exist, after all, only income can be deducted, and no income can be deducted.

Jiang Hai's gold coins, which are privately traded, are not counted in the taxes, of course, if he wants to take the initiative to report Rui, then the US imperialist government is still very happy, but the US imperialist government is happy, and the British side may come to trouble, after all, Jiang Hai salvaged British gold coins, so there are a lot of things in between, Jiang Hai is not stupid, he went to report a hair.

You don't have to pay individual tax, you don't have to pay marketing tax, you don't have to pay income tax, the only thing you have to pay is the local tax, but because he took over in October, he only needs to pay for half a year, and because Jiang Hai raised cattle, this can be regarded as stimulating local development, this will also be reduced or reduced, Jiang Hai hired more than 20 people, more than a dozen of them are locals, and the local tax will be discounted, plus he hired nine special people, so there will be some more reductions.

Together, according to the accountant found by Moses Adams, Jiang Hai only needs to pay 1,723,446.7 US dollars this year, and after the tax return is completed, Jiang Hai will also return 50 US dollars to buy grazing and fish food.

Although more than one million US dollars is a lot, it is not much compared with the more than four million US dollars that Jiang Hai calculated at the beginning.

So after Jiang Hai paid the money, he still had a lot of money left, enough for him to buy whatever he wanted.

Walking around here at this time is nothing more than to see what is interesting.

However, after a general look, Jiang Hai is not interested in many things, he is not interested in old household appliances, game consoles, motors, fishing nets, clothes and the like, what he is really interested in is some handicrafts and books.

The so-called handicrafts are mainly wood carvings, these things, according to legend, are Indians, in fact, they are carved by the Iroquois that Jiang Hai has seen.

Jiang Hai picked some good-looking ones, such as eagles, deer, mountain lions, etc., and bought more than a dozen carvings, these things can be placed in their own houses, and when they look at them in ordinary times, they give people a very stylish feeling.

Just as Jiang Hai was collecting these wood carvings and preparing to leave, a sudden shouting came into his ears.

"Treasure map, come and see the treasure map, the treasure map left over from the real pirate period." Following this voice, Jiang Hai found that there was a big man, who looked to be more than two meters tall and had a big beard, and was holding a cloth made of cowhide and waving it there.

And this guy, Jiang Hai has also seen it before, he is also a fisherman, when he went to sell fish, Jiang Hai and he had a few encounters, but they did not communicate, at this time hearing his words, Jiang Hai had some surprises.

In fact, since the last time he got those gold coins, Jiang Hai has been a little interested in these treasures and other things.

It's just that he wasn't sure where the ships were, and the ocean was so big that it wasn't easy to find it.

The second is also because, Jiang Hai thinks that he has no self-protection power in the sea now, in case he encounters any sea monsters or something, he will be finished, but being scared does not mean that he is not interested, and now that he heard that there is a treasure map, Jiang Hai slowly came over.

As soon as he saw Jiang Hai coming, the big man couldn't help but stop selling and looked at Jiang Hai with a smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
