Chapter 2 The Fish Stalls of the White Python River (2)
"Help, help, spare life, spare life! Daddy Luo, big sister Qian, help, I don't dare, I don't dare to win, I won't gamble next time!
Chu Tian smiled and snatched a few steps in front of Zhong Dagou, and with a slight touch of the eyebrow stick in his hand, it was just on Zhong Dagou's calf. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just listen to the sound of 'click', Zhong Dagou's calf was neatly shaken into two, the fracture was symmetrical and there was no broken bone, although it was painful, but it was slightly bandaged properly, and there was no major problem after healing.
Zhong Dagou howled in pain, and Chu Tian and the other big men laughed loudly.
A group of passers-by surrounded him, looking at the crying Zhong Dagou shaking his head and sighing.
"Big dog, you should die in pain, it's not Chu stall head, your wife has long been gone, and you still call your wife to help!"
"Big dog, don't gamble, it's good to find a job to support your wife, and then find a daughter-in-law?"
Chu Tian saluted the passers-by with his fists, and without making a sound, he took out a piece of broken silver the size of his thumb and threw it beside Zhong Dagou: "Zhong Dagou, this is your soup medicine fee." When your leg is healed, go to the fish market, and I'll make you a job. If you go to Chengzhou City to gamble again, this time it's one leg, and next time it's three legs!"
Zhong Dagou's body trembled, his hands subconsciously covered his lower body, and two lines of hot tears rolled out, crying like a dead mother.
Chu Tian no longer bothered with this guy, separated the crowd and strode towards the fish market.
When the sun was up, in the teahouse next to the wharf of the fish market, the stewards of each household and the procurement of each restaurant and restaurant had been filled with poor tea.
"Chu stall head is here, here, the market is open, the market is open!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the head of the Chu stall is here, and the market is open!"
"The best white python fish is fresh, live fish is fresh, there are fish, shrimp, turtles, and crabs!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't get in the way of Chu's stall!"
More than a dozen fish teeth squeezed out of the crowd, and they came to Chu Tian with great hospitality, separated the crowd for him, and walked along the avenue to the fish market wharf. Chu Tian looked around, nodded, and didn't say a word, casually inserted his iron and wood eyebrow stick into the dock, and a big man who accompanied him hurriedly tied a red cloth belt on the head of the stick.
The river breeze blew, and the seven or eight feet long red ribbon flew with the wind, and when they saw this bright red, the fishermen on the countless fishing boats on the river shouted in unison and shook their oars.
One after another fishing boats docked on the dock of the fish market, the fish teeth stood on the shore and shouted loudly, the fishermen laughed and reported the precious and rare aquatic products on their own boats, and there were those stewards of the mansions of dignitaries and nobles, and the procurement of restaurants and restaurants shouted loudly, bidding to purchase all kinds of freshest aquatic products.
The guy from a teahouse on the dock diligently moved a set of tables and chairs, and Chu Tian sat on the chair steadily, picked up the fine porcelain teapot, and tasted the fragrant tea melon slices that the teahouse owner was particularly embarrassed about, while looking at the noisy fish market with cold eyes.
The four big men stood behind Chu Tian in a row, blowing their noses and staring at the flow of people coming and going.
Other big men carried eyebrow sticks, walking back and forth in the fish market that stretched for miles, if someone had a dispute, these big men just yelled at each other, whether you are the manager of a wealthy family, or a wealthy purchaser, by these big men yelled, their tone often dropped several tones, and their voices became extraordinarily soft and soft.
After more than half an hour, there were fish teeth rushing over with account books in their hands, reporting to Chutian how many catties of big mandarin fish had gone out, how many catties of silver carp had gone out, how many prawns had gone out, and how many baskets of big crabs had been eliminated.
Chu Tian listened to the reports of these fish teeth, he didn't make notes, as long as he listened to the account book numbers one by one, he would remember them in his heart and never forget them. Since he occupied the mouth of the White Python River three years ago and became the head of the fish stall of these three fish farms, he has not missed a single account.
After being busy for more than an hour, a basket of fresh fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs was loaded onto the carriage transporting the goods, and the satisfied stewards and procurement staff returned to the city with the purchased fresh fish with a smile.
There are procurement offices that are familiar with Chu Tian, and they don't forget to come over and greet Chu Tian.
Chutian is not too big, whenever someone comes to greet him, he also stands up and greets each other with a pleasant face, and makes an appointment to go to the city of Qizhou to drink another day. Everyone was smiling, and their words and laughter were full of joy.
'Humm', a light cough came, and a short and fat old man wearing a light green satin robe and a few bats embroidered on the cuffs arched his hand to Chu Tian with a smile: "Chu stall head? rare, rare!"
Chu Tian glanced at the old man up and down, and arched his hand with the same smile: "Forgive the old man, but you are an eye, but you don't look like you are buying fish." ”
The short and fat old man smiled, gently touched the three-inch silver whiskers on his chin, and said slowly: "I came here today, but I came to buy fish." I heard that as long as Chu Stalltou opened his mouth, the fish in the White Python River, as long as it is in the world, there is nothing that cannot be obtained?"
Chu Tian smiled gently, he glanced at the two young men in green clothes and small hats who followed behind the short and fat old man, and said with a smile: "False praise, false praise, but it is not Chu Tian's big words, if there is fresh fish in this white python river, you always open your mouth, and it will naturally be sent to you within three or five days." ”
The short and fat old man nodded with satisfaction, he fumbled in his sleeve for a while, and threw out three garlic sticks of gold and placed them on the tea table beside Chu Tian. Each garlic strip is about three inches long, and each one is always about ten taels.
It is a state of barren borders, so gold is expensive, one tael of gold can always be exchanged for twenty taels of silver, and these three garlic strips of gold are a lot of money.
The fish teeth around them gasped in unison, and they all said 'ouch'. This money is not easy to earn, although there are a lot of rare fish in the White Python River, how many of them are worth paying with gold?
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Thirty taels of gold as a subscription?What does the old man want?"
The short and fat old man looked at Chu Tian with a smile, and said softly: "Our young master has recently entered the Qishan Academy, and he is thinking about inviting all of you classmates to hold a 'Dragon Gate Banquet' to take the auspicious sign of the carp jumping over the Dragon Gate. ”
He gestured a number with both hands, and the short and fat old man said with a smile: "Ten golden-scaled carps with a length of one zhang can be prepared and sent to the Qishan Academy within three days." Thirty taels of gold is indeed just a deposit, the price of fish is geometric, and Chu stall head just opens his mouth. ”
Chu Tian narrowed his eyes, and he asked with a smile, "Dare to ask, who is your old and young master?"
The short and fat old man puffed up his chest and smiled indifferently: "The young master of our family is the young master of the Chu family in Lingzhou. ”
There was a dead silence all around, and the word 'Chu Clan' was enough to deter all the fish teeth present.
Chu Tian smiled slightly, sat on the big chair, and waved his hand lightly: "It's good to go, don't send it!"
