Chapter 361: The Sorrowful Fish Demon
When the old man surnamed Pi pulled the fish to the vegetable market, there were hundreds of people behind him. Looking back at the lively crowd behind him, the old man laughed, stopped, loosened the cloth belt tied with the fish and tied it around his waist again, and then poured the big red carp out of the fish and kicked the big carp with his foot.
When the old man went down, the big carp blinked his eyes, but his body was still lying on the ground, motionless. Although the body of the fish is not moving, the brain of the fish is indeed restless at this time.
"Little thing, if I hadn't been used by that Taoist priest surnamed Li to use magic to suppress the town, how could I let you be bullied like this? If you dare to kick your Grandpa Yu and me today, then today next year will definitely become your sacrifice day. The anger in the brain of the fish demon, who was suppressed by Li Ge's spell and couldn't move, had risen to an extreme at this time.
"Big guy, look, it's still alive, who wants this fish?" Just when the fish demon was furious, Pi Laohan raised his foot and kicked it on the carp, and opened his mouth to sell.
"Little thing, don't let me be free, if I can be free now, the first thing I will do is swallow you. In a kick by the old man, the red carp carefully screamed, but because his body was suppressed by magic, he could only do this at this time, even if he wanted to shake the fishtail slightly, it was impossible, at most he could only blink his pair of fish eyes.
"How much are you going to sell this fish?" Hearing the shout of the old man, a woman in the crowd asked the price.
"Yes, how much can this fish sell?" Hearing this, the old man secretly pondered in his heart, and then laughed and said, "Which of you has ever seen such a big carp? Do any of you know why this fish is so big?"
"I don't know~" After hearing this, the people who watched the excitement shook their heads to express that they didn't know.
"Haha~ Let me tell you, this fish is actually just an ordinary carp, as for why it grows so big, it's because it stole the elixir of the strange water god, so it will grow so big. Think about it, if you can eat a fish that eats the elixir, you will naturally be able to prolong your life and benefit immensely. When he was about to return to town, he uttered out loud the words he had thought of on the way.
"Really, don't lie to us!" a man in the crowd asked suspiciously.
"Lie to you? Have you ever seen such a big red carp? Lao Tzu's words are true, you love to believe in it, and if you don't believe it, you will play with it, I think naturally people who know the goods will buy this fish that grew up eating the elixir. Pi Laoyu replied in a very indifferent tone, and then sat down on the ground and looked at the big fish in front of him with a smile.
"Fishsmith, I will pay fifty silver dollars for this fish lady, will you sell it?" After listening to the explanation of the old man, the woman who asked the price before said a price arrogantly.
"Fifty silver dollars, my good dear, that's enough for me to eat, drink, and have fun for three or five days. Hearing the woman's price, the old man who was sitting on the ground was a little moved, and just as he was puzzled for a moment and was about to get up, another woman opened his mouth and shouted the price.
"I'll pay sixty silver dollars for this fish!"
"I'll give you seventy silver dollars!"
"Seventy-five silver dollars, fishsmith, do you sell them or not?"
......
The price rose step by step in the shouting of everyone, and in the end, it rose from fifty silver dollars at the beginning to one hundred and eighty-five silver dollars, a price that Pi Laohan could not imagine. Because on the way back, he roughly thought that he would be satisfied if the fish could be sold for fifty or sixty silver dollars, but now the asking price had risen to one hundred and eighty-five silver dollars.
The man who asked for one hundred and eighty-five silver dollars was a richly dressed young woman, and behind her were two maids who were waiting for her. After the woman called out the price, there was no bidding in the crowd.
"Oh~ It's the young lady of the Wang family. After hearing the woman shout for a bid, when no one was bidding, the old man walked up to the young woman with a smile on his face.
"Old fisherman, I will pay you one hundred and eighty-five silver dollars for this fish, will you sell it?" the young woman said when she saw the old fisherman who got up and walked in front of her.
"Sell ~ sell ~ Mrs. Wang pays the silver now, and she can take this fish away now. Seeing that there was no one to bid, the old man nodded again and again, and responded with a smile on his face.
"Here is one hundred and ninety silver dollars, how about you send this fish to my house with the maid behind me?" The lady of the Wang family didn't say much, she directly took out the money and handed it to Pi Laobo, and then turned around and glanced at one of the maids who followed her.
In this way, the fish demon who was suppressed by Li Ge with a spell was met by the old man and pulled to the town, and after some bidding, he was successfully sold. After the old man carried the fish to the house of the young woman who bought the fish, he went out of the house happily.
"One hundred and ninety silver dollars, I can't imagine that a stupid fish can sell for so much money. Damn, today Lao Tzu wants to eat and drink nonsense, and he has to go to Xiaolan, Xiaocui also wants it, and those two little girls will not let go tonight. Reaching out and touching the money bag on his waist, the old man showed a debauched smile on his face, although he was nearly sixty years old, but his state of mind was like that of a young man in his twenties and thirties, so unruly.
After saying that the fish demon was transported to the royal kitchen in this town, it was placed in a large wooden basin filled with water.
In the wooden basin, the fish demon lying motionless in the water was full of despair at this time. Just because next to it, there is a chef holding a large kitchen knife, looking at it with curiosity on his face. Beside the cook, there stood several young women dressed as maids and a fat and wealthy man.
"I didn't think there was such a big carp in this world, and I don't know what this fish tasted like?" Chef Ning, have you ever seen such a big carp?" said the fat rich man looking at the big fish in the wooden basin.
"Sir, I have been a chef for so many years, and I have never seen such a big fish, and as for the taste of this fish, I think that after some cooking, it will naturally be delicious. The fisherman with the kitchen knife said confidently.
"Okay, I can't wait to taste what this fish tastes like, Chef Ning, you can slaughter this big fish now, cook it as soon as possible, and let me enjoy it." The rich fat man looked at the big fish, licked his tongue, and commanded.
"Master Hollywood, I'm going to slaughter this fish and cook it now. The chef nodded in response, and without hesitation, he held the kitchen knife in his hand, squatted down and waited for the big fish in the basin.
In this way, this fish demon who originally wanted to be suppressed by Li Ge only wanted to use magic to suppress it, by chance, became someone else's meal.
