Qingshui County.

Changning Fang, Beicheng District, Chen Ji Fish Shop.

"Xiao Xuan, I want this grass carp, help me kill it and cut it into slices."

A middle-aged woman carried cabbage to the fish shop pond and pointed to one of the grass carp lanes.

"Okay, Aunt Wang."

Chen Xuan fished out a large grass carp from the pool, weighed it and let the lady Wang see it, then put the grass carp on the table, and pulled out the fish knife with the other hand, and slammed the handle twice on the back of the fish's head.

The grass carp was pumped on the spot.

Then, Chen Xuan's hand rose and fell.

Brush Brush Brush Brush ......

The blade of the knife scraped over the grass carp, and the scales were scraped clean.

Chen Xuan skillfully broke open the belly of the grass carp, cleaned the internal organs, rinsed them with water, and then began to slice them again, each slice was thin and even.

Soon, the grass carp finished slicing.

In addition to the head, only the bones remain.

+1 for Fish Killing Knife

For the text information that appeared in front of him, Chen Xuan was no longer surprised.

He is not from this world.

Half a year ago, he was eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly crossed over.

The predecessor is also called Chen Xuan, his mother died of illness a year ago, his father is a fisherman, and he has been fishing and selling fish for generations, but I don't know if there is too much fishing, and the ancestors have been fishing in the Canglan River for several generations, and they were killed by water monsters.

Half a year ago, the former went out fishing with his father and encountered a water monster attacking the fishing boat.

The fishing boat shattered, and Chen's father immediately made a decision and threw all the fish he caught into the water to attract the attention of the water monster.

The two jumped into the water together and swam towards the shore.

But after eating the fish, the water monster did not intend to spare the two of them.

In order to save his predecessor, Chen's father was entangled with the water monster in the water, and the predecessor desperately swam towards the shore, and when he reached the shore, his physical strength was almost exhausted, and he also encountered leg cramps and drowned.

That's when he crossed over.

At the same time, a proficiency panel appeared in front of Chen Xuan's eyes.

Chen Xuan——

Fish Killing Knife Method: 4546/10000/Second Order.

Fishing: 14/10000/2nd Order.

Swimming: 2121/5000/1st order.

Culinary: 4012/5000/1st Order.

Writing: 124/5000/1st order.

This is the proficiency plug-in that comes with crossing over.

Proficiency plug-in, pay will be rewarded.

Every time you kill a fish, you can improve the proficiency of the killing knife and fishing skills.

He was able to have such good knife skills because the fish-killing knife technique had broken through to the second order.

"Xiao Xuan, your knife skills are better than your father." Aunt Wang exclaimed: "Don't talk about your father, even the chef in the restaurant may not be able to cut the fish fillets so thinly, so neatly and beautifully, how do you practice?" ”

"Knife work, there is no skill, only the hand is familiar." Chen Xuan smiled slightly, then wrapped the fish head and cut fish fillets in oiled paper, handed them to Aunt Wang, and said, "Aunt Wang, a total of fifteen yuan." ”

"Fifteen cents, give!"

Mrs. Wang counted out fifteen copper plates and put them in Chen Xuan's hand, and then put the oiled paper wrapped in the fish fillets into the vegetable basket.

"Hey, Aunt Wang, what a good day today, I not only bought fish, but also meat."

Seeing that Aunt Wang put the oil paper wrapped in fish fillets into the vegetable basket, and there was a lean meat in it, Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"You also know that the child's father works in a mine dozens of miles away, and the mine stipulates that he can only come back once every six months, and he has three days to rest, and he can't make up for it."

Aunt Wang said.

"The work in the mine is indeed much harder, and it has to be made up."

Chen Xuan nodded.

"Little brother, bring me a crucian carp."

With the increasing flow of people in the vegetable market, Chen Xuan is also busy.

……

……

It was close to noon.

All the fish in the pool were sold, and Chen Xuan began to clean up.

After cleaning up the fish shop, he did not leave immediately, today is the day to pay the rent, and it is also the day to pay the 'protection fee'.

In Qingshui County, whether it is to set up a stall to do small business or open a store, it is not an easy thing, if you have no background, you must first pay money to the local gang, that is, the protection fee, before you can open a store.

Otherwise, there will be ruffians and hooligans coming to make trouble every day, and this business will not be able to go on at all.

If the business is better, it will be 100% targeted by the local gangs, either the store is forcibly occupied and sold cheaply, or a large amount of money will be handed over every month, and the gang will work obediently, and he can only earn some hard-earned money.

If the head iron and the gang are tough, it is idle and their lives are long.

It's not just Shimizu County.

In this world, no matter where it is, some money-making businesses are controlled by big forces, even in civilian areas, there are gangs to divide the territory, and ordinary people can only survive in the cracks and are constantly exploited.

It is difficult for ordinary people to get ahead.

After a while, a tall and thin old man came to the vegetable market with several family members and began to collect rent one by one.

This person's name is Wang Zhongquan, and he is the third housekeeper of the Ye family, who is responsible for rent collection.

In the Changningfang vegetable market in Beicheng District, one-third of the shops are owned by the Ye family.

In addition, the Ye family also has a large number of fields, and there are hundreds of tenant farmers underneath, who are the big landowners in Qingshui County.

"Steward Wang, this is this month's rent, you can take it."

Seeing Steward Wang coming over, Chen Xuan immediately went back to the house and took out the prepared money bag and handed it over.

Wang Zhongquan took the money bag, opened it and looked at it, and nodded slightly.

Handing over the money bag to a family member behind him, Wang Zhongquan continued to the next family to collect rent.

Not long after Steward Wang left, more than a dozen strong men in black came to Xishi, all of them were tall and burly, looking powerful, and wearing uniform clothes, black shorts, long pants, and knives around their waists.

"The Iron Wolves are here."

saw more than a dozen strong men in black with knives appear, one by one, and the stall vendors all obediently paid their 'membership dues'.

The Iron Wolf Gang is one of the top five gangs in Beicheng District, with hundreds of official gangs, mainly to collect protection money, all of them dare to fight, fierce and abnormal, but they are not ordinary people who can offend.

"Boss Bai, you can collect this month's membership fee."

Chen Xuan, like the rest of the merchants, honestly handed over the protection fee.

The burly man at the head is named Bai Xingtang, a small leader of the Iron Wolf Gang.

The block of Changningfang vegetable market is in charge of him.

"Chen Ji Fish Shop, pay the membership fee on time, write it down."

Bai Xingtang took the money bag, carefully counted his eyes, and nodded slightly.

A member of the gang who followed behind was holding a notebook and recording the merchants who had paid their dues.

"This day, when is the head?"

Seeing the people of the Iron Wolf Gang leaving, Chen Xuan sighed.

Fishing and selling fish by oneself can earn almost twenty taels of silver a month.

But you have to pay rent every month, even if you don't rent a house, as long as you sell it in the vegetable market, the stall fee is indispensable, and then you have to give the Iron Wolf Gang a 'protection fee', if you don't pay the protection fee, then there will be ruffians and hooligans every day to make trouble, and there is no way to do business at all.

In addition, a personal fishing tax must be paid to the county government every month.

Once the rent, protection fee, and personal fishing tax are paid, except for food and clothing, there is not much silver taels left in a month.

"It's been half a year since I came to this world, and I've saved some money, it's time to find a place to learn martial arts."

Chen Xuan said secretly in his heart.
