The town of Jiulong is located in the southern part of the East China Sea, close to the coastline.

As the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains, and the sea eats the sea.

In addition to their daily income by fishing seafood, the people of Jiulong Town also obtained a lot of wealth by producing and selling sea salt.

As soon as Lin Xiangxiang stepped into this bazaar, he felt extraordinary, and this place was probably not much different from Kyoto at the foot of the world.

Sure enough, it is a land of abundance.

Lin Xiangxiang checked the gold coins in his pocket, which was heavy.

This is what she took out of the treasure book early before going out, as pocket money for shopping today.

Take advantage of the good weather, just in time for a good stroll.

There are countless jewelry shops, pawnshops, clothing shops, and restaurants on both sides of the street.

Lin Xiangxiang looked left and right, first entered a rouge shop, and selected some rouge gouache for girls' households.

I can't imagine that the rouge gouache of this era is really good, it is purely natural, without adding any preservatives, just that the "lipstick" is purely refined from rose petals, and it looks good and moisturizes on the lips when touched, which is much better than the big-name lipsticks of the 21st century.

Lin Xiangxiang was amazed and hoarded more, thinking that one day she could go back to the 21st century, she must bring two models to Li Xin, and good things must be shared with her girlfriends.

Then he entered a rice shop and asked the boss to weigh ten catties of rice.

This big bag of rice is heavy enough, and it makes Lin Xiangxiang's fingers hurt.

But it's also strange, she searched for several ingredient shops but couldn't find olive oil, sesame oil, and light soy sauce......

"I don't know where the fox bought these spices, and I searched the market but couldn't find them." Lin Xiangxiang was puzzled, so he simply bought some condiments, which were nothing more than salt, chili, soy sauce, vinegar, and nothing else.

Walking down the street, the street is full of people, but few people judge her dress.

If you look closely, you will know that because the shipping here is smooth, there are foreign people who come here to trade all the year round, and the clothing customs will inevitably be different.

It's okay, it's much easier to go out in this jacket suit, and the set of clothes that Fox Chitose bought looks good or is too ladylike, and it's inconvenient to do some hard work.

Walking along the bluestone field, the narrow street market becomes more and more open and densely populated.

It must have been in the middle of the most prosperous street market in Jiulong Town.

"This fish of mine is not an ordinary fish, this is a fish that I caught with great difficulty in going out to sea the day before, I dare to conclude that this fish has become a sperm, if it is not for the thunder from the sky that injured this fish, I would not have been able to catch it."

A circle of people gathered in the center of the market, bustling and not knowing what they were looking at, only faintly hearing the loud voice of a man constantly coming into their ears.

Lin Xiangxiang glanced over there, and squeezed in from the crowd with a large bag of things.

I saw a large ceramic vat standing in the center of the crowd, which was large enough to easily accommodate an adult, and the vat was filled with water, splashing from time to time.

Lin Xiangxiang stretched his neck and probed into the tank, the water was very clear, and there was a red fish weighing about three catties inside.

It's just that the fish was born strangely, and its whole body was glowing red, and the whole surface of the water became red.

Lin Xiangxiang wasn't sure if the red that was on the surface of the water was all the red light from its body or the blood that leached from its wounds.

Even though it swam extremely fast in the water, Lin Xiangxiang also saw the wounds all over its body, deep and shallow, dense.

"Xu Lao Liu, I'm afraid you're not a monster, right? You see, it's glowing red, isn't it extraordinary? Even you, with thin arms and thin legs, can catch it? "It was a man who spoke, about twenty years old, dressed as a young master from a wealthy family.

"The son of the Lang family is wrong, although I Xu Laoliu is just a fisherman, I have been fishing in the sea for more than eight years, although I haven't made any big money, but this fishing skill ~ Presumably few people present can match me." Xu Laoliu said triumphantly.

Lin Xiangxiang followed the sound and glanced at the person who spoke, this man named Xu Laoliu was a middle-aged man, he should be about forty years old, he didn't have a few taels of flesh all over his body, the whole person was thin and tall, with a bustling stubble, and he looked a little sloppy.

"I said Xu Lao Liu, where did you catch this fish? I look like a monster, or do I beat it to death early, if he returns to the sea in the future, he will still have it? A woman in the crowd spoke, and her husband also fished for a living.

"I said sister-in-law Qin, you are short-sighted, this is a merman in the sea, legend has it that tears become beads, and the shark beads turned into mermaid tears are priceless, even if there are few in the hands of today's emperor."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and there was a noise below.

"How do you know it's a merman? I think it's just an ordinary fish. ”

"Isn't this just an ordinary fish?"

"What's the merman, legend?"

"If it's a merman, how can he Xu Lao Liu be caught?"

"It's just that we haven't encountered a ...... in so many years of going to sea for salvage."

Lin Xiangxiang didn't listen carefully to what they said, and just stared at the red fish. The fish's eyes seemed to be very spiritual, and a pair of big fish eyes kept winking at her.

Do fish blink?

Lin Xiangxiang remembers that fish can't blink even if they die.

"It's also a coincidence, that day I happened to sail to the middle of the sea to fish, suddenly a vision fell from the sky, a layer of red light was laid in the air for no reason, and then I saw a fish with red light jumping up from the middle of the sea, but at this time, a thunder in the sky just hit the fish, only to see it burst out of a layer of sparks, fell from the air. Thanks to my neat hands and feet, I hurriedly cast a layer of nets and took a lot of effort to pick it up. ”

Xu Lao Liu talked endlessly, and the people below listened to it with relish.

"If this fish is not a merman, how can it be so magical, tearing my net and not saying it, it can still blink, how can the fish blink? Presumably, the merman showed the prototype, and he begged me to let it go in the blink of an eye. ”

"If that's the case, why didn't you let it go?" Everyone teased and laughed.

It is known that although Xu Lao Liu has a good ability, his fishing job is indeed better than everyone else in the town, and he can catch good goods when he goes to sea on weekdays, and he is a person who can make a fortune by his ability.

But this person is the only one who is good at gambling, addicted to gambling, and has bad luck, and he loses all the money every time, and he doesn't even have a wife at this age.

Xu Lao Liu was not annoyed, and made everyone laugh, "If I get a merman tear, I can be prosperous and rich for the rest of my life, what kind of fish will I catch?" ”

"Then you should let it cry out, not to mention that the fish can blink, we haven't seen the fish cry, and we happened to be lucky enough to witness it today, hahaha......" The son of the Lang family continued to tease, but he still became interested in the red fish in the tank.

"This ......" Xu Laoliu's face was embarrassed, although he had seen the fish blink, but he had indeed never seen it shed tears.

"What? You're not fooling us, are you? Everyone laughed again, they hadn't seen the monsters that had become spirits, and there were more of them in this world, and they were nothing more than strange playthings brought to the town by some strange people for people to enjoy.

Jiulong Town is very popular, and the monsters who are still shallow in cultivation are hiding in the deep mountains and dare not come to the town at all, unless they are extremely deep, no matter how popular they are, they will not be able to burn them.

"That's it, Xu Lao Liu, what's the use of just talking, if you let it cry today, how about I reward ten taels of silver?" The son of the Lang family spoke again, took out a piece of silver from his arms and checked it.
