Chapter 168: The Fish Market
Lei Wuji pulled Yang Ming and Xiao Se aside, and whispered, "Brother Ming, Xiao Se, do you have any extra mirrors in your hands?"
"What do you want mirrors for?" Yang Ming naturally has it, otherwise how could he maintain a handsome and heroic posture all the time.
"Yes, there is, there is." Yang Ming replied.
Lei Wuji rubbed his hands and asked with an embarrassed expression, "Brother Ming, is there anything like sending a sister-in-law?" I promised the girl a mirror earlier. And Brother Ming, your kind of mirror is better than any of the ones sold by Beili, so..."
"So what did you call me for?" Xiao Se didn't have a good airway.
"Hey, hey." Lei Wuji scratched his head and said calmly, "Isn't it that I'm afraid that Brother Ming won't..."
"So I'm a spare tire." Xiao Se rolled his eyes.
Yang Ming didn't say anything, and slowly took out a palm-sized mirror from his arms and handed it to Lei Wuji.
"Thank you, Brother Ming!" Lei Wuji took the mirror and hurriedly ran away.
Xiao Se glanced at Yang Ming helplessly: "If you take this mirror to Apocalypse City, I don't know how many dignitaries and dignitaries will laugh for the Pomeranians, and they will not hesitate to spend a lot of money for it!"
"You're just going to get into the money." Yang Ming shook his head helplessly.
This kind of mirror was made by Yang Ming according to the method on the Blue Star, and when he was in Snow Moon City, he spent a lot of time on it. At first, he chose to make his own glass mirrors, but in any case, the glass was doped with a lot of impurities. In desperation, he had no choice but to buy the white crystal in the city.
The finished mirror is then coated with a layer of extremely pure silver. If it weren't for his strong martial arts and proper control when applying silver, the mirror would probably be destroyed on the spot.
"Whoa!" Yang Ming took out another palm-sized mirror and handed it to Xiao Se: "This one is for you, if you want to sell it, just sell it."
Xiao Se took the mirror, wiped it, and then put it into his arms, "You still have a little conscience."
On the other side, Lei Wuji ran up to Pearl and took out the mirror, "Pearl, this mirror is for you."
"Wow~" Looking at herself in the mirror, Pearl covered her face: "The human face reflected in this mirror is too clear, it should be very expensive, I can't ask for it." She hurriedly waved her hand.
"Take it." Lei Wuji shoved the mirror into her hand, and then hurriedly ran away.
"This—" Pearl froze in place.
"This Lei Wuji, I'm afraid it's not Sichun." Yang Ming, who was walking with Xiao Se, couldn't help but tease.
Xiao Se also agreed with Yang Ming's statement: "Not only that, but that girl also seems to be interested in him."
"It seems that Xie Xuan's predecessor gave him the book "Late Snow", he didn't read it less." Yang Ming nodded thoughtfully. He knew in his heart who Lei Wuji liked, but that didn't affect his gossip.
"You take it." Twilight Rain Mo whispered to Pearl, "This is what he gave you, you can't live up to his wishes."
"Okay." When Twilight Yumo said this, she reluctantly accepted the mirror.
"I'll take you to the fish market, Lei Wuji asked me to take you to the fish market before." Pearl whispered.
Yang Ming walked over quickly and said with a smile, "Then Miss Lao will lead the way."
"No trouble, no trouble." Pearl hurriedly shook her hand, and then led Yang Ming and his party towards the fish market.
The beach was still far from the fish market, and they walked for more than half an hour to get there.
Before entering the fish market, a fishy smell came to the face, but compared with the fish market on the edge of the West Lake, the fishy smell from here also had a faint smell of sea salt. The two flavors are mixed to dilute the original fishy smell a lot.
This fish market is located on the shore, and the dense fishing boats stop on the shore, and in front of the fishing boats, the fishermen's harvest is displayed. There are countless kinds of marine fish, shrimp and crabs.
"You're all from inland, if you can't stand the smell of sea salt here, still
Don't go over it." In front of the fish market, the pearl reminded everyone.
"It's fine." It was the first time for everyone to come to the beach, and at this moment they all felt that the fishy smell of the seaside was fresh, so how could they leave it.
As we got closer, all sorts of shouts fell into my ears. Some of the merchants and townspeople who heard the news greeted the fishermen, while others were bargaining.
"Look, isn't that black squid with tentacles?" Twilight asked as she pointed to a half-human-tall cuttlefish hanging from the fishermen's nets.
Pearl wanted to speak, but Yang Ming preemptively said, "That's a cuttlefish, it's a little different from a squid, it has a big ink bone in its body. This ink bone can also be used in medicine."
"Cuttlefish? What's the difference between that squid and it?" Twilight Yumo said with a puzzled expression.
Yang Ming thought for a moment and said, "The squid has the iconic 'javelin head', and the body is more narrow, and the bones in the squid's body are not as big or thick as the cuttlefish."
"That's right—" Twilight nodded thoughtfully.
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Pearl chuckled, "Has this big brother ever lived by the sea before?"
"No, I've only seen it in some places." Yang Ming said truthfully.
It's just that his words fell into the ears of others, and few people believed it at all....
Lei Wuji ran up to a fisherman and pointed to a strange-looking fish, "Why is this fish asymmetrical, and some of its eyes are on the left and some are on the right."
Pearl didn't rush to answer this time, but wanted to see what Yang Ming had to say.
Seeing the pearl's eyes, Yang Ming smiled slightly: "Flounder, it looks like this, this fish has a brown body on one side, but after you open it, its belly is white."
Lei Wuji hurriedly flipped it open with his hand: "It's really... But why is that?"
"This is how it usually lies in the sea, one side is illuminated by the sun, and the other side lies on the bottom of the sea; Just like a human being, he will always be exposed to the sun, and he will always be tanned."
Immediately, Yang Ming became curious: "As far as I know, this kind of fish cannot be caught in the waters of Beili."
The fisherman saw that Yang Ming seemed to be very knowledgeable, so he hurriedly came over and explained: "Guest officer, this fish I caught by chance, although it is rare, but it is not completely impossible to catch, generally speaking, you can catch one or two in a year and a half."
"Ocean currents!" Yang Ming seemed to think of something.
"Guest officer, I think you're from land." The fisherman laughed and said, "Even people who live by the sea don't necessarily recognize this fish. Guest, you are so knowledgeable." With that, the fishermen gave a thumbs up.
"Brother Luo, should we buy this fish, it looks quite novel." Lei Wuji asked. Everyone else gave them inquiring glances. Among them, only Yang Ming would deal with these sea fish, so naturally he wanted to ask Yang Ming's opinion.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I won't handle this fish, if I don't get it right, it won't be delicious."
As he spoke, Yang Ming's eyes narrowed and he pointed to the two big fish behind the fisherman: "How deep did you go into the sea, and what kind of fishing boat did you use to catch this kind of fish?"
Pearl was also puzzled: "You say so, I have been on the beach for so many years, and I have seen a lot of big fish, but I have never seen this kind of fish. And that cuttlefish is also outrageously big, I've never seen it this big."
