Competing Currents Chapter 66 Fishing Grounds

"This is also the cow of the 58 Society...... Ugly girl, I remember you are surnamed Niu, right?"

The ugly lady is really ugly, and her figure looks okay, but her face is completely deformed, as if she has been burned by fire, and even her neck is covered with scars like old tree pimples.

Hearing this, she said calmly: "My surname is Ma, Ma Ruyu." ”

Liu Qiang burst out laughing and said, "Ugly girl, you didn't choose a good name." Haha, Ruyu ......"

Tian Qijia couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, don't make fun of the ugly mother's name, she didn't take it herself, if you want to blame, you can only blame her parents." ”

Ma Ruyu didn't have any expression and didn't answer.

"Senior Sister Ma. Dong Xiaoping said politely, he felt that it was not good to call people ugly.

"Senior Brother Dong. Ma Ruyu saw that he was very polite, and responded with a smile.

"Okay, it's almost time, you can go out and collect people, Huang Xiaozi, you take Senior Brother Dong with you. ”

After Tian Qijia finished speaking, he ignored the four of them and went into a small room to cultivate.

Dong Xiaoping looked at the back of Tian Qi's family and thought, "It seems that this Senior Brother Tian doesn't have to work, but he doesn't know what the errand I have to do, what does it mean to accept people?"

"Senior Brother Dong, let's go and collect people. ”

Huang Xiaozi smiled, with a hint of flattery in his smile, which made Dong Xiaoping inexplicable, why is he flattering me so much?

The fishery was fenced off with a gate opened.

The four of them pushed open the door and walked out, and there were all sorts of mortals standing outside the door, most of them looking ragged. As soon as these mortals saw the four of them come out, they immediately stood in order.

Ma Ruyu stood up first and said loudly: "Four cents of silver a day, five points for a spirit fish, only fifteen are accepted, limited to women and children." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a bunch of people, women and children desperately squeezed in front of her, and then looked at her with a look of hope.

She ordered twenty people casually, and those who were ordered were elated, and those who were not ordered looked disappointed, thinking that it would be a good errand to follow her to do things.

Dong Xiaoping understood it, it turned out that this was recruiting.

"Three cents of silver a day, five cents of silver for a spirit fish, twenty for you. ”

The next man to speak was the Yellow Shorty, who was paid more than a horse

Ruyu was a little lower, but there were still a lot of people pouring up, and there were still a few left after he picked them out.

"Senior Brother Dong, it's your turn, it's generally about five cents of silver, and you can charge a little less people when you come to the fishery for the first time, about ten is more appropriate. Huang Xiaozi introduced with a grin.

"Oh, thank you, Senior Brother Huang, for your advice. ”

Dong Xiaoping glanced at Liu Qiang, who was standing next to him, and asked Huang Xiaozi, "Then this Senior Brother Liu should be ahead of me, right?"

"Hmph, the person you accept from you, who comes first and who comes after is not the same, anyway, it can't compare to Lao Tzu. ”

Before Huang Xiaozi could speak, Liu Qiang sneered with his nostrils pointing to the sky.

Huang Xiaozi said to Liu Qiang with a grin: "How can we compare with Senior Brother Liu? ”

He obviously looks older than Liu Qiang, but he calls him Senior Brother Liu.

Dong Xiaoping thought to himself: "This yellow dwarf seems to be used to licking people, and he looks low-profile to everyone." Pitiful, pitiful, do you think that if you don't offend others, they won't trouble you? I really don't know why there are such people. ”

He didn't figure out the situation yet, so he didn't fight with Liu Qiang, so he said according to their template: "Three points of silver a day, five points for a spirit fish, and ten points for it." ”

A group of people came up again, and he picked ten at random, including old people and children. I don't know what to do yet, so I can only pick and choose.

After he finished picking, Liu Qiang stood up and said loudly: "Three points of silver a day, five points for a spirit fish, and there is no limit to the number of people." ”

There were about forty or fifty people left, and only a little more than half of them had come up, and the rest would rather leave than do his work.

is also three cents of silver, why everyone doesn't want to do his work, which aroused Dong Xiaoping's curiosity.

After harvesting the people, they took the mortals back to the fishing grounds.

"Senior Brother Dong, the fishing boat is estimated to be here for a while, let's go to the pavilion to rest first. The yellow dwarf pointed to a large pavilion and said.

There is a wharf in the fishing ground, next to the wharf, there are several large pavilions, each of which can accommodate quite a few people, and there is a fire pit in the center of the pavilion, which can be used for heating.

Each of the four men picked a pavilion and took their mortals in to rest, waiting for the arrival of the fishing boat.

Taking advantage of this time, Huang Xiaozi came to the pavilion where Dong Xiaoping was and specially introduced to him how to do this job.

Qingbo Lake is rich in a kind of pattern fish, this kind of fish is nourished by Qingbo Lake, it is easy to undergo spiritual transformation, and can provide a large number of spirit fish for Qingbo Gate every year.

Generally speaking, the flowers, trees, or beasts after the spirit transformation will be given a new name, for example, the bitter grass after the spirit transformation is called the boiling blood grass, and the pattern fish after the spirit transformation is no exception, it is called the spirit pattern fish.

However, there is a disadvantage of this kind of spirit pattern fish, there is almost no difference between spirit pattern fish and pattern fish at a glance, which leads to the difficulty of catching spirit pattern fish.

There were so many patterned fish caught in one net, and the fishermen didn't know which of them were spirited fish. There are often spirit pattern fish, which are eaten by mortals as ordinary pattern fish, and then feel nothing, which is completely a waste.

Therefore, after the fishing boat that catches the pattern fish, it has to go to the spirit pattern fish fishing grounds presided over by the monk, and these fishing grounds select the spirit pattern fish from a pile of pattern fish, and then buy them at a high price.

One more step like this can double the income of the fishing boat, and it is also the best way to get the Spirited Fish quickly for the Lingwen Fish Fishery.

The fishing ground presided over by Tian Qi's family is a Lingwen fish fishery, which can produce a lot of Lingwen fish every day.

When Huang Xiaozi talked about this, there happened to be a fishing boat on the dock.

"Mage, there's a fishing boat coming. A half-old child said to Dong Xiaoping with an anxious face.

"Senior Brother Dong, let's move quickly, Senior Brother Liu has too many others, and they will be robbed of them in a while. ”

As he spoke, the yellow dwarf ran back to the pavilion where he was, shouting at the workers to hurry to the docks.

Dong Xiaoping was dumbfounded, why is the competition for part-time jobs so fierce?

"Mage, mage. Seeing that Dong Xiaoping had not given the order for a long time, the half-grown child was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

"Go ahead!"

Although Dong Xiaoping is very rich now, those are dead money, and they are gone after they are spent, and they still have to earn a little more if they can earn more.

Hearing this, the ten workers under his command hurriedly ran out and rushed to the dock with other workers.

Dong Xiaoping saw that the other senior brothers had walked up to the dock, so he learned from them to also go to the dock.

He discovered a strange thing, Liu Qiang's workers had to undress before entering the dock.

What are you doing with your clothes in this winter?

Ma Ruyu and Huang Xiaozi's workers do not have this procedure.

Most of Liu Qiang's subordinates are men, and a small number of women are also old women, and they are only very thin shorts and shorts, and when the cold wind blows, they shiver with cold.

Is this necessary? Dong Xiaoping's mind was full of questions.

The fisherman carried down the baskets of patterned fish and poured them on the wharf, and the fishermen picked them up.

At this time, when he was free, Huang Xiaozi introduced this errand to Dong Xiaoping again.

Although the pattern fish and the spirit pattern fish look about the same, there are still some differences if you look closely, otherwise you can't pick them at all.

If you can see the patterns of flowers, birds, beasts, and even human shapes from these patterns, then this fish is very likely to be a spirit pattern fish.

If a worker suspects that a fish with a pattern is a fish with a pattern pattern, he shows it to his mage, and the monk only needs to touch the body for a while to determine whether it is a spirit fish or not by feeling the aura contained in it.

Dong Xiaoping's workers were the first to find a suspected spirit pattern fish, this person was an old man, I saw him holding a fish in both hands, looking at Dong Xiaoping with anticipation, and said: "Master, please take a look, is this a spirit fish?"

It is only possible that there is a pattern of a spirit pattern fish, but it does not mean that it must be, and in the end, it is still a monk who can feel the aura to judge.

As long as he can find a spirit fish, he can get five cents of silver, and his income will more than double in one day.

"Oh?"

Dong Xiaoping had never seen this kind of patterned fish, this kind of fish was much smaller than the spirit fish eaten at Zhao Yuan's house, only two finger sizes, and it was covered with patterns.

"What's on it?"

He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see what the pattern was.

"Master Hui, it's a cow. The old man replied with a smirk.

Dong Xiaoping stared at it for a long time, and finally saw that it seemed to be a cow, and thought, "Wow, this can be seen, how careful it is! No wonder so many workers have to be recruited to screen for the first time." ”

He rolled up his sleeves, reached out and touched the fish, and felt it quietly for a while, but unfortunately there was no aura.

He shook his head and said, "No." ”

The old man's hopeful face suddenly turned into disappointment, and after bowing, he said, "Trouble the mage." ”

Then he returned to the ranks of picking spirit fish.

"Senior Brother Dong, you have to watch them closely, don't look at them honestly, in fact, there are many people whose hands and feet are not clean, and they always like to hide the spirit fish on their bodies or in any corner, when the time comes, we won't be able to collect many spirit fish for a day here, and then they will turn around and steal them out and sell them. ”

Huang Xiaozi was talking to Dong Xiaoping while also looking at his workers.

"No wonder, then Liu Qiang asked the workers to take off their clothes, is it to prevent them from hiding the spirit fish?"

"yes, it works. The ugly lady and I can only watch more than ten or twenty people, and if we recruit too many people, we won't be able to see them. If they can't see it, they will become emboldened and hide fish everywhere, and in the end we won't be able to collect a few. Senior Brother Liu, he can easily look at forty or fifty people, and if there are many people, there will be more fish harvested. ”

"What's the benefit of collecting more fish? Aren't we all paid monthly?" Dong Xiaoping asked curiously.

"But this month's money is also set by Senior Brother Tian, like Senior Brother Liu collects the most fish, there are five coins of Mithril a month, and I and the ugly lady only have three coins of Mithril, and sometimes if we are lucky, we will have four dollars...... I don't know how much he's going to set for you?"

"Then you don't want to learn from him?" Dong Xiaoping asked with a smile, he knew that this person had the intention of inquiring, but his income could not be said casually, so he had to divert the topic.

"What else can it be? This winter, I can't be ruthless. Huang Xiaozi sighed and said, "My father used to do this, and he suffered a lot to feed me. Senior Sister Ma is even simpler, she is an orphan, she did this when she was a child. ”
