Chapter 13: The Angry Progress Bar
The silence lasted for a while, and whispers rang out.
"Six, two, five!"
"Is it really six taels or five dollars?"
"Weird, that's not getting rich, it's all treasure fish, why is Ah Shui so noble? How? ”
Obviously, everyone was shocked by Hu Wushi's offer.
Li Libo, who was on the side, pinched his fingers and calculated, startled.
Chen Jiechang's red-blooded perch weighed two catties and seven taels and six dollars, and he only earned three taels of silver, totaling more than one catty and one tael.
But Liangqu's horn pomfret is three catties and two taels and one dollars, and there are actually six taels and five dollars! A total of one pound and two taels, almost twice as much as the red blood perch!
Wait, why do I say that red bass "only" earned three taels.
Li Libo fell silent.
At the same time, Liang Qu also fell into great joy.
I thought that a treasure fish would only greatly reduce the time for me to enter the martial arts hall, but I never expected that it would directly fill the progress bar!
Counting the cash of 228 coins saved these days, Liang Qu's total property has exceeded 923 coins!
Not only did it meet the minimum requirement of seven taels to enter the martial arts hall, but even the tax after the autumn had been settled.
As for the idea of refusing to sell, there is no such thing at all.
The fact that the other martial artist can give a significantly different price means that he did not rely on the short-sightedness of the rural fishermen and the fact that they did not know the pomfret and offered a price indiscriminately, otherwise they could have offered a price similar to that of the red blood perch.
Moreover, a few taels of silver is really not much for a martial artist, like Chen Jiechang is a hundred wen a day, and three taels a month, but the living expenses are not rich.
If the price is really suppressed, there is no way, there is no reason to go to Pingyang Town and not be suppressed, the fishermen are not stupid, the martial artists are not stupid, and they can run more than ten miles less if they are sold directly.
"Sell, of course sell, but I have a question I want to ask Master Hu."
Liang Qu calmed down and made a small request.
Hu Wushi said succinctly: "Ask." ”
"Why is it that the price of the same treasure fish is twice that of the red perch?"
The fishermen on the side were all curious.
After all, the world of martial artists is mysterious and desirable, and it is undoubtedly refreshing to be able to secretly poke and know something that others don't know.
Hearing Liang Qu's question, Martial Master Hu was not impatient, and explained: "The horns of the pomfret can be used in medicine and made into secret pills, which have the effect of refining qi and can help break through the blood level. ”
I see!
Liang Qu thought of the pair of small horns he had kept earlier, and was glad that he didn't throw them away.
Hu Wushi is strangely sincere.
Everything went smoothly next, Liang Qu presented fresh pomfret with fresh horns, and Wu Shi Hu threw a bag of silver coins, and left without even asking for a cloth bag.
Before leaving, he also shouted: "If anyone can catch the same special-shaped treasure fish in the future, come and tell me, I won't teach you to suffer." ”
The fishermen at the port applauded in unison.
Skin, flesh, bone, and blood are four levels, according to the information revealed earlier, Hu Wushi has reached the level of the fourth level, stepping over, martial arts is no longer everyone's honorific title, but a solid ability, a few treasure fish, it is indeed very important.
Liang Qu thought to himself.
When Hu Wushi left, the fishermen in the port no longer paid attention to their voices, and all congratulated Liang Qu on his good luck for a while, and even more wanted to come forward to touch it, trying to touch something mysterious and mysterious.
In the past half a month, Liang Qu has caught a yellow croaker, a spotted fish, and now he has caught a treasure fish, which is simply a lucky person to walk.
In the crowd of people, Liang Qu firmly grasped the money bag, but he did not refuse.
Fishing is more uncertain than farming and harvesting grain, so fishermen often believe in the existence of some mysterious forces more than farmers, and there are many large and small sacrificial activities in Yixing City, but in the end, it is because of the development of productivity, all of which are led by large households and used livestock.
Of course, there are absolutely extraordinary beings in this world, and it is impossible to say whether there are those indescribable things Liang Qu.
For a time, there were two people in Shangrao Port who caught the limelight of the treasure fish, and almost all of them were snatched away by Liang Qu alone.
Chen Jiechang stood outside the crowd and touched the heavy money bag, feeling unwilling, but he had no choice but to leave alone.
When the excitement passed, the fishermen dispersed, and Li Libo screamed strangely: "My mother, six taels, my ancestors can't save a lot of money for generations." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, the person who is about to go to the martial arts hall to apprentice doesn't know who it is." Liang Qu stuffed the money bag, returned to the boat, secretly put away the two fish horns with the size of the finger bones on the boat, and at the same time grabbed Li Libo's fishing net and handed it back to him, "Your fishing net has helped me a lot." ”
"Hey, this must not invite me to a meal?"
"I had this intention."
made a windfall and was about to enter the martial arts hall, Liang Qu's whole person seemed to be in high spirits, and he naturally wanted to be treated.
The two went directly to the foot shop and ordered a chicken, a plate of mutton and a plate of pork, and a pot of hot wine, spent hundreds of dollars, and took Li Libo to eat beautifully.
Liang Qu didn't drink alcohol, and he wasn't used to drinking, but Li Libo could drink, and the fisherman often went into the water, so there was no one who didn't drink.
When he was full of wine and food, Li Libo blushed, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "When are you going to go to the martial arts hall?" ”
Liang Qu smiled: "How do you know that I am going to the martial arts hall?" ”
The original was withdrawn, and there were no people with a good relationship on the port, but Liang Qu was different, he was generous, and he had invited Li Libo to eat two meals, and the relationship between the two was much closer than at the beginning.
"Nonsense, the last time you asked me so carefully, fools can see your thoughts, but it's normal, who hasn't thought about practicing martial arts and becoming a martial artist? That's a human being, like us with mud legs, covered in fishy smell. ”
Li Libo's tone was not without envy, he became a martial artist, registered and made a book, had his own court subsidy, got rid of the lowly status, no longer had to go out of the boat to fish all day long, and he would not provoke the fishy smell all over his body, the smell of soap horn could not be washed off at all, and it was pickled.
The Great Shun Dynasty has only been founded for 60 years, and in recent years, it has been even more smooth, saying that it is not enough to eat without food, but it is really tiring to run around for that bit of food every day, and no one wants to live such a life for a lifetime.
All the young men in Yixing City before the age of twenty have fantasized about their own amazing bones, being appreciated by masters, and dreaming of becoming a generation of grandmasters.
It's a pity that the vast majority of people can't get over the high threshold of seven taels of silver, even if they can afford it, they will not have much way out after all.
Originally, Li Libo only thought that Liang Qu was also a young man with dreams, but unexpectedly, a treasure fish today impressed him.
Six taels and five dollars, almost enough for the threshold.
This kid, I'm afraid I don't want to enter the martial arts hall with me.
It's just too coincidental, not long after I asked, I made a windfall that I could enter the martial arts hall, and there was a fight with the leper Zhang, speaking of which, I haven't seen him for more than half a month, which is quite strange.
Li Libo felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything was wrong, he just felt that there was no one like Liang Qu in the entire Yixing City.
"That's right, my father left some savings before, and that's enough." Liang Qu felt that there was no need to deny it.
Li Libo looked like he was really like this, hugged Liang Qu's neck and laughed: "That's a good feeling, I'm still worried that I will be bullied when I go to the martial arts hall, just right, the two of us are brothers!" ”
"Hmm."
