Chapter 327: A Strange Creature in the Belly of a Shark!
"Hey, Fisher, you're out fishing again?"
"Anything new?"
Approaching the dock, a familiar vendor watched Fisher row over, and immediately waved his palm to signal Fisher to approach, wanting to see Fisher's harvest.
Today, though, Fisher smiled and waved his hand, and instead of approaching, he rowed along the waterway of the pier towards the nearby anchorage of the large fishing boats.
The big fishing boat is different from the small sampan, it can go to a more open sea, and naturally the harvest is more and bigger, and the noble steward also prefers to buy from the big fishing boat - of course, the captain of the big fishing boat is also richer, and often finds a few small discs of silver light from the income from the purchase of fish and shoots them in the butler's hand.
"Look, Fisher is sure to have caught something good today!"
Seeing Fisher's movements, the clever peddler immediately guessed the reason - but what he didn't expect was that Fisher had gotten a real big guy this time.
"Who is this guy?"
"Why did you come here with a sampan?"
There are also ranks on the docks, and the boat is a status symbol - the merchant's big boat, the big fishing boat, the small fishing boat, the small sampan, level by level, showing a pyramid-like chain of contempt - so seeing Fisher approaching, the captain of the big fishing boat said in a tone of contempt.
"That's Fisher, and he lives in the shabby house next to the Cuckoo Tavern. ”
"I guess I got something good today, so I dare to come here. ”
Some of the ship's sailors and captains explained that in terms of status, the sailors on the big fishing boats were on par with the small sampans, after all, they had a steady income - and Fisher ignored their contempt and leisurely docked the small sampan to the outermost part of the ranks of the big fishing boats.
Then he shouted at the dock in high spirits.
"Two people to help, ten coppers!"
On the docks, there are even lower status than small sampans, which are odd jobs - they do not have the tools to go to sea by themselves, and they do not have the courage and skills to make a living at sea, so they can only help people carry goods on the dock to earn a living - ten coppers is already their income for carrying goods for several trips.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Immediately, several odd workers ran to Fisher's side, but when they saw Fisher's clothes almost in tatters like his own, they ran back again, and only one stout odd worker remained—he knew Fisher, had a good relationship, and could ask for a glass of wine even if he didn't have copper.
"Cut, a bunch of dog-eyed guys!"
"Lorraine, help me pull the rope, this is a big guy!"
Throwing the cable to an odd worker named Lorraine, Fisher lifted the side of the sampan, revealing a large dorsal fin.
Anyone who begged for a living on the docks had seen sharks, and Lorraine was no exception, and he immediately took a step back and tied the cable to the stone pillars of the pier.
"Fisher, are you shark dead or alive? I'm not going to move it!"
Lorraine's voice was a little loud, and it immediately reached the ears of the odd workers on the docks, and they immediately gathered around them - every shark catch was a feast for the eyes, and they would praise the shark's teeth and huge size, and they would chase after it when they knew that a noble servant would buy it.
After all, it takes some luck to see this beast in the deep sea.
"Don't worry, I'm alive, but I'm knocked out!"
Seeing the crowd watching, Fisher immediately smirked, showing his somewhat yellowed teeth - he slowly approached the stone wall of the pier, allowing the huge figure to loom under the water, which naturally attracted loud applause from the odd workers.
Attracted by the bustle, a well-dressed teenager slipped through the crowd, glanced at the huge dorsal fin on the edge of Fisher's sampan, and immediately went out again.
The young man Fisher did not know his name, but his purpose had been accomplished—he had seen the young man several times, always following behind the Marquis of Terry's butler, helping out.
"Marquis Terry's housekeeper Sost is here, let me go, let me go!"
Soon, several of the housekeepers dispersed the group of gig workers, allowing the Sost butler to see the object next to Fisher's sampan, who was clearly not very human, and only saw the shape and size of the shark underwater, as well as the shark's round belly.
"A pregnant hammerhead shark, fisherman, you're in luck!"
"I want it!"
Signaling Fisher to approach, a strong man dressed as a servant grabbed the shark's dorsal fin with one hand and the edge of the sampan with the other, and then with a roar of rage, Fisher was lifted out of the water with the sampan and the shark.
This kind of strength makes the odd workers around the side envious - if there is such strength, there is also a need to worry about not making money, and one person can pack ten boats of goods!
That's all the odd workers can think of with their meagre insight—but the captains of the big fishing boats are immediately amazed that a mighty warrior can only work as a porter next to the butler in charge of procuring the ingredients, and that is quite a luxury!
After removing the shark, the Great Warrior released the sampan into the sea along with Fisher—as for Fisher, who had already quietly held a few small yellow round cakes in his hand—the butler of Sost pretended to give him a silver coin, which in fact contained several gold coins hidden behind it.
Wealth is not in vain - in the chaos of the docks, a single gold coin is enough to start a bloody conflict - after all, one gold coin is enough to buy a small sampan, or enough food for a winter, or a hut by the dock, not to mention the several that Fisher now has in his hand.
"Butler, do you need anything else?"
"I still have a lot of fresh sea bass here, you can try it for a few days, no money. ”
Fisher, though often drunk, was a rather dexterous man—seeing that the butler was about to turn away, he hurriedly chased after him with a gold coin and several live sea bass in his hand, and took advantage of the opportunity to put the sea bass in the butler's hands, and secretly shoved the gold coins into the butler's hands.
"It's really fresh. ”
"I'll keep the fresh sea bass like this in the future, and I'll let Kari get it. ”
Touching the small lump in his hand, the butler Sost smiled with satisfaction - only the captains of large fishing boats were usually on the docks, but they were not so generous.
So he made a promise to leave amid Fisher's flattering smile, the big captain's jealous eyes, and the odd worker's shit luck in his eyes.
............
In order to carry the hammerhead sharks, the steward of Sost also hired an ox cart - as soon as it was transported to the Marquis's palace, the young lady came to watch it with her nose covered with handkerchiefs, and among them several other ladies and heirs who had come as guests - and when he was happy, the Marquis rewarded the butler with a gold coin, which made his old face burst into laughter.
And after the viewing, the hammerhead shark was sent to the kitchen - with a single knife, the head chef broke open the shark's belly, and out of the shark's belly rolled out four or five live shark cubs, and a mouse with eyes in a cloak like a cloak?
