Chapter 101: Fishing for Peaches
That night, the ten young men followed Li Banfeng and Ma Wu to Xindi.
Along the way, ten people carried ten sacks of stinky fish on their backs.
This is the dead fish that Li Banfeng bought from the market last night, tied in a bag, put it under the sun, stuffy for a day, and can stink more than ten meters against the wind.
Ten young men did not walk this way, and a big man with dark skin walked less than two miles, and his face was white.
"These two are going to Xindi to fish for peaches, right? Why else would you bring such a stinky fish? ”
Another handsome guy in blue nodded and said, "Look at this season, it should be peach fishing, but they can't do this job, and they can't make money at all!" ”
A thin young man dressed in yellow cedar said: "You don't care if they make money or not, don't we just make money, and we will talk to them about the price in a while, and we have to pick peaches according to the price, otherwise we won't do it." ”
Tuyu peach, one of the most common prey in the new land of Lanyang Village.
Ma Wu really wanted to take them fishing for peaches on this trip.
They had reached the southernmost part of the village, where there were no houses and only a few tents could be seen.
There are many people who don't even have tents, so they just make a bunk.
At the edge of the new earth, it's hard to say what will come out, and I fell asleep well tonight, and by the next morning, there might not even be a corpse left.
These people have basically lost hope of survival, and they are lucky to have a stutter, and they live next to Xindi because they really have no other place to sleep, and they can't even grab a place under the bridge hole.
And they went out of the village and into a wood.
This forest looked nothing special, but the branches and leaves were more lush, and everyone walked to the middle of the woods, and the five young men, under the command of Ma Wu, opened the ten sacks of stinky fish and put them on the ground.
Twelve people were in their positions, ten young men guarded the upwind slope, and Li Banfeng and Ma Wu guarded the downwind slope.
Ma Wu kept comforting Li Banfeng: "Brother Li, this peach tree must be coming from the downwind slope, we have to keep an eye on it here, and we can give them orders later." ”
Li Banfeng's face turned pale and said, "Don't speak, if you say anything more, you'll vomit." ”
"Brother Li, it's not like that, I smell okay!"
"If you talk again, I'll spit on you."
It's not that Li Banfeng is hypocritical, he has a special sense of smell, he is in a downwind position, and the smell of stinky fish is poured into his nostrils, which is about to kill Li Banfeng.
At half-past four in the morning, it was almost dawn, and the woods finally moved.
Squeak ~ quack ~
Something was walking between the trees.
Li Banfeng quietly put on the silk earrings and started the skill of insight into the spiritual sound, wanting to hear the other party's voice.
Chirping~
A sharp chirp shook Li Banfeng's eardrum with severe pain, and when it calmed down, Li Banfeng heard a roar under the sharp roar.
"Incense, really fragrant~"
Fragrant?
Li Banfeng really wanted to discuss it with the other party.
Brush~
The leaves rattled.
Ma Wu reminded everyone to be prepared.
An earthy jade peach tree was approaching them, and Li Banfeng could already vaguely smell the aroma of peach blossoms in the stench.
Giggle~
The sound of the bark rubbing is endless, and a "giant python" with a diameter of more than one meter slowly swims under the tree.
If it were the first time to come to the new land of Lanyang Village and see such a thick python, I would have to be scared of something.
But many of these young men have been in the peach fishing business, and they know that this is not a python, but the root of the earth jade peach tree.
The root of the tree seems to be the nose of the peach tree, and it is looking around for taste.
When passing by Li Banfeng, there was no response from the roots of the tree, and the house repair on the second floor was automatically ignored.
When passing through Ma Wu, the roots of the tree reacted.
It climbed up the branches and came to Ma Wu's side, and its fine roots grew slowly on Ma Wu's body.
Ma Wu's face was sweating.
He was afraid, although he had experience in peach fishing, but experience did not mean that there would be no accidents.
The earth jade peach tree is a tree, it doesn't have much spiritual intelligence, but its combat power is not low, if the roots are entangled in Ma Wu, a high-level Huanxiu is an appetizer for the peach tree.
After waiting for a while, the root whiskers no longer entangled Ma Wu, and ran to a stinky fish under the tree.
Peachtree knew that there was someone nearby, but the attraction of this person couldn't compare to that of a stinky fish.
The thick roots plunged headlong into the stinky fish pile, sucking wildly.
The cry of the peach tree kept coming from the silk earrings: "Fragrant, really fragrant!" ”
After a while, a few more tendrils dug into the stinky fish pile, and the stinky fish pile grew shorter at a visible rate.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Ma Wu led everyone to follow the roots and found the peach tree hidden nearby.
This peach tree is big enough for three people to hug, and a wooden house can easily be built on the huge canopy.
Under the tree, there is an exposed root system, and the dense roots of the tree extend beyond the sight of normal people.
The tree had just come to this forest.
Li Banfeng was very curious, how should such a big tree act in such a lush forest?
Now is not the time to think about this, everyone's time is very short.
Twelve people, each carrying a cloth bag, jumped onto the peach tree as fast as they could, while the peach tree was eating stinky fish.
Above the canopy, under the peach leaves, fist-sized earth jade peaches are their targets.
The peach tree trembled a few times, like a person suddenly having a few more fleas on his body, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Two young men almost fell under the tree and were dragged up by Li Banfeng and Ma Wu.
Fishing for peaches, the more people there are, the better, not only the efficiency of peach picking. And they also take care of each other.
Don't fall down, fall into the roots, a big living person will be eaten in the blink of an eye, there are no bones left.
The peach tree quickly calmed down, ignoring the fleas on her body and concentrating on eating the stinky fish.
Now is the best time to pick peaches, move quickly, and how many peaches can be picked before the peach tree eats up the stinky fish depends on their ability.
Li Banfeng is the fastest, not only his hands are fast, but his feet are also fast, and he can shuttle between the branches of the tree freely, and in a short time, he picked two bags full of peaches.
The others are not so fast, and they have to be careful every time they pick a peach, and if they are unstable under their feet, they have to rely on the people around them to help them and pull them.
Everyone barely picked enough bags, and the pile of stinky fish had been eaten by the peach trees.
Ma Wu glanced at the stinky fish and shouted: "Withdraw!" ”
The group packed up their bags and quickly left the peach tree.
If you don't leave, it's too late.
The peach has a very mixed diet, and it loves stinky fish the most, but it doesn't mind eating anything else.
Everyone left the woods at a very fast speed, and halfway through, Li Banfeng stood in the treetops and glanced at the location of the peach tree.
The peach tree disappeared, and I don't know how to disappear, as if it had never come.
Was this peach tree cultivated and cultivated, or was it cultivated by oneself?
This is not known.
At the end of the hunt tonight, they were lucky enough to come across the earth jade peach tree.
What if you can't meet it?
Then even if this trip is in vain, the wages of the hired people have to be paid, and the stinky fish can barely stay until tomorrow night, and this trip will be considered a loss.
Everyone went back to Lanyang Village, and when they walked on the road, they met a breakfast seller, Ma Wu bought fried dough sticks and oil cakes and distributed them to everyone.
Seeing Ma Wu and the others leaving, those who sold breakfast hurriedly closed their stalls and sent a letter to Tang Tianjin, the chief housekeeper of the Song family.
Tang Tianjin received the news and immediately told the Song family to Song Jiasen, the head of the family.
Buy an early, do you have to tell the head of the house about such a big thing?
It's not a big deal to get early, the focus is on peaches.
"Master, the fifth son of the Ma family took people to hunt in Xindi."
In Lanyang Village, hunting is one of the most important sources of income for the villagers.
And Lanyang Village is the territory of the Song family, and when you go hunting in Xindi, you have to greet the Song family in advance, and the things you hunt back have to be shipped in the Song family.
Ma Wu went hunting without saying hello to the Song family, which was an offense to the Song family.
Song Jiasen took a sip of tea, ate a snack, and asked, "What did he go hunting?" ”
"Tu Yutao, I hired ten people and fished more than a dozen bags back."
Song Jiasen pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "What is he doing hunting peaches?" It's not a business he can do, he can't make money. ”
The housekeeper said: "Master, we don't care if he makes money or not, but he doesn't do this properly, he goes to pick peaches without saying hello to us, he doesn't take us seriously." ”
Song Jiasen laughed and said: "A few days ago, Ma Junyang had no money to pay the rent and lived in a shack.
This rich boy just can't endure hardship, the place where he lives is good, but he can give the rent, and it is estimated that he will not be able to live this life.
Let him take these peaches away, and when he comes to us to ship, give him money at the market price, he knows that he can't make money from this, and he won't do it again in the future. ”
"Master, the Ma family has a lot of ways in the city, although Ma Wu was kicked out of the house, but the foundation has not been broken, if you don't find us to ship, what should I do?"
Song Jiasen picked up the tea bowl, took another sip, and said indifferently: "Then he can't be tolerated, if he doesn't find us to ship, he won't want to take a peach out of Lanyang Village." ”
……
Ma Wu took everyone back to the residence, each carrying a bag and weighing them one by one.
A pound of peaches, Ma Wu gave 100 yuan, and picked peaches in the new land of Lanyang Village, which is this market price.
Some people are fast, and they picked fifty pounds and got five thousand yuan.
Some people have slow hands, and they picked ten catties and got a thousand yuan.
More than a dozen bags of peaches, a total of more than 380 catties, excluding Li Banfeng and Ma Wu, a total of more than 30,000 yuan was given.
What are these peaches for?
The flesh of the earth jade peach is an adjunct for alchemy, and the peach pit is a good medicinal material.
How much do these peaches sell for?
According to the purchase price of the Song family, one hundred yuan a catty.
This thing is funny, 100 yuan a catty is collected, 100 yuan a catty is sold, this business Ma Wu did not make any money.
Not only did you not make any money, but you also lost money.
It costs money to buy stinky fish!
In Lanyang Village, only the Song family made money by picking peaches, because selling peaches to the city cost 500 yuan per catty, five times the huge profit.
But can Ma Wu take the peaches out?
No.
It is impossible for the Song family to watch Ma Wu carry more than a dozen bags of peaches out of the village, which is equivalent to cutting off the Song family's financial route and slapping the Song family in the face.
What is Ma Wu's intention in doing this trip?
The handsome guy in blue asked, "Two bosses, don't you want to sell the peaches to the Song family again?" I can warn you both that this is not profitable. ”
Ma Wu said with a smile: "Boss Song is my friend, you can't make money, I'm different." ”
The young man didn't dare to ask more, and everyone took the money and left.
There were only two people left in the wooden house, Li Banfeng fetched water, and Ma Wu soaked peaches.
After soaking for more than an hour, seven or eight hundred worms floated on the water.
Tuyu peach has a large sugar content and is easy to attract insects.
Ma Wu picked out more than fifty spotted green insects from seven or eight hundred insects and handed them to Li Banfeng.
"This insect is called tiger lice, Brother Li, take care of it."
Li Banfeng put away the green worms and went to the market to buy fish.
Ma Wu took peaches and went to the Song family to ship them.
PS: Banfeng has a hundred flavors of exquisite skills, and the lethality of stinky fish is really great.
