Before dinner, Ye Qing carried half a bamboo basket of abalone into the city. Half of the abalone was left for the tooth sacrifice at home, and a few catties of sea cucumbers were all kept.

In addition to abalone, Ye Qing also hid a red gold scaly skin worth a thousand catties in his arms.

With abalone as a cover, you can hide the reason why Ye Qing suddenly became rich. At most, others thought that he was taking his life seriously, and went to the sea to be a abalone picker.

Standing at the bottom of the three-zhang high green brick city, Ye Qing felt the heavy weight in the bamboo basket behind him, and the red gold scales tightly wrapped in his arms, and suddenly felt arrogant and wealthy.

As soon as he walked under the city gate, Ye Qing was stopped by four guards with a simple knife at his waist: "Stand still, and enter the city for a copper plate." ”

"Huh?" Ye Qing quickly touched his pocket, oh no~ On the way here, he only cared about being happy, and forgot about the stubble of the entrance fee.

"A few soldiers are sent to the eldest brothers, I can't take out a copper plate in my family, can you melt me and sell the seafood and make up for it when I go out of the city?" There was really no way, Ye Qing had no choice but to point to the abalone in the bamboo basket and complain: "You see I'm abalone here, after I sell it, I'll bring a bottle of good wine to a few soldier brothers." ”

When several soldiers heard this, they glanced at each other, and they all felt that this kid was very on the road.

"It's a little thing, I see that you are quite familiar, and you often go into the city to sell fish. I'll pad the copper plate for you, let's go in. ”

"Xie Lu, thank you, a few soldiers, big brother!" Ye Qing entered the city with a smile.

The fish market in Huangyu County is located in the west of the city in the direction of the sea, and Ye Qing arrived at his destination within a few minutes of walking into the city.

The area of the fish market is not large, surrounded by a circle of fences Zhuangzi, there is not even a brick platform in it, and the strong smell of fish can rush people to plant their heads.

As soon as Ye Qing entered, he saw a large number of fish men gathered at the door to collect the small yellow croaker. Some people use buckets to carry it, and some use water wheels to pull it. Even in the fish market, there are small yellow croakers everywhere.

There's no way, who let the county order have a convulsion of the braincase, and want to give half a catty to each household in the county?

The small yellow croaker is a special product of Yellow Croaker County, and the small yellow croaker that local fishermen used to catch is up to four copper plates a catty. Now the county lord has spoken, no matter how big or small, as long as he lives, all the fishermen will go to catch small yellow croaker.

As for the county order, what kind of braincase convulsions are there?

Some people rumored that the county order was going to be promoted, and some people said that the county order was almost fifty years old before the wife became pregnant. Isn't this month coming, the county order to do good deeds for his mother and mother to accumulate merit.

Ye Qingcai didn't care what the reason was, he was selling abalone now. One pound can be worth 100 pounds of small yellow croaker, and it is a high-end product.

Looking for a secluded place, Ye Qing squatted on the ground and waited quietly for the seller to come to the door.

Abalone is not a thing to sell at all, and the bigger it is, the more so. Before Ye Qing set up his stall for half an hour, there were six waves of restaurant owners, squatting in front of the stall to pick and choose.

Ye Qing offered half a tael of silver a catty, and sold it in a shell.

The abalone in the bamboo basket is generally two catties. If it is made into dry abalone, it is a three-headed abalone, and the restaurant cooks well and sells it to guests, at least it can be sold for three taels of silver.

Abalone is delicious, and dried abalone that has been dried by famous hands is even more delicious. A head of abalone weighing one pound is even more priceless. However, due to the processing and drying of abalone, it takes up to a year. Ye Qing didn't have the time to sell fresh abalone.

Six waves of customers bought twenty catties of fresh abalone, and Ye Qing harvested ten taels of silver. In terms of purchasing power, it is equivalent to 10,000 yuan.

There were still ten catties left in the bamboo basket, so Ye Qing decided to close the stall and sell the red gold scales hidden in his arms.

If you don't choose a reliable seller, even if Ye Qing has ten lives, it will not be enough for people to slaughter.

Fortunately, Ye Qing knew that there was one person, he could buy the red gold scaly skin, and he would not be interested in making money.

Anyone who eats in the fish market knows a boss named Chen Zijia.

No one knows where this person came from, only that he came to Huangyu County four years ago. In Huangyu County, the largest [guest upstairs] has rented a wing room all year round, and then began to purchase all kinds of sea treasures.

In four years, Boss Chen Zijia Chen has won the recognition of all fishermen in Huangyu County with Tongsuo's undeceived price and sincere and good quality. But if any fisherman gets any treasure from the sea, it is not wrong to ask Boss Chen to make a move.

In the four years of the world, the treasure that has been handled from him. There is no shortage of sea treasures like cloud fire coral, hundred-year-old purple electric fritillary, walnut big pure black pearl, which are of the same grade as the red gold duck scales. But I have never heard of these bitter fishermen, selling their treasures and losing their lives. They all live in mansions in the county, marry concubines, and have a good time.

Listening to the fishermen who have sold treasures in his hands, Boss Chen is a person who has learned the method of immortality, and he is half an immortal, so if he doesn't have anything, how can he bully us bitter people?

Sell the treasure to him, and you can put ten thousand hearts.

Carrying the bamboo basket on his back, Ye Qing lowered his head and prepared to leave the fish market. At this time, the bamboo basket behind his back was suddenly grabbed by a strong hand.

Ye Qing's heart was bad, it must have been those fishermen who recognized him.

Ye Qing turned his head, but found that it was several errand soldiers wearing gray hats and white clothes.

Ye Qing recognized these errand officers, and they were all helping the county master collect small yellow croaker in the fish market these days. In the days when he sold small yellow croaker before, Ye Qing paid the "hard-earned money" as usual, what would stop him today?

Stretched out his hand to grab Ye Qing's errand officer, without giving him a chance to ask. Relying on the height of the man and the horse, he smashed it with a fist. Ye Qing is only sixteen years old this year, and six years of bitter life in Coptis have tortured him extremely thin, how can he hold the fists of an adult man?

All the abalone in the bamboo basket spilled out, and Ye Qing was also smashed and fell into the dirty water on the ground.

"Yo roar, come to sell abalone?" The one who did it, the errand officer who was called Zhao Ye by the fishermen, said in a vicious voice: "I said how dare you throw the fish bucket in front of me yesterday, it turns out that I got good goods." ”

"If you get good goods, you dare to slap your face in front of my uncle and drop the fish bucket?"

The leading officer, Zhao Yong, squatted in front of Ye Qing with a fierce face, picked up an abalone from the ground, and kept weighing it in his hand: "It's okay if you don't sell the fish to me, but if you smash the fish bucket in front of me, you are slapping Zhao Ye in the face." ”

Ye Qing didn't say a word, endured the sharp pain on his shoulder, and endured the anger in his heart.

"Boy, yesterday Zhao Ye hit you with a fish, that is your blessing, don't hurry up and thank Zhao Ye. A few of the fish collectors next to him picked up the scattered abalone from the ground with a smile and loaded them into the waterwheel on the side.

Looking at the abalone, which was worth five taels of silver, it was originally intended to be given to Boss Chen as a gift, but it was taken by these servants. Ye Qing suddenly had a strong feeling of sadness in his heart, he was grieving for himself, lamenting that he was unable to stop all this.

"It is said that the people who pick abalone are stunned young people who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and today I will give me a chance to admit my mistake. The leading officer, Zhao Yong, knocked Ye Qing's head with abalone: "Admit your mistake, come to the fish market to sell fish in the future, I will let you be the first." ”

"Don't admit your mistake, the next time you enter the fish market, it will be the day you break your leg. ”

The fishermen who came to watch the bustle on the sidelines, and the older ones all secretly scolded in their hearts that these servants were not human, and they were about to cut off their lives. There are also people who are gloating.

........................

The sky was getting dark, and Ye Qing, who had some bruises at the corners of his mouth, walked on Qionghua Street with extremely slow steps.

The three-story [guest upstairs] composed of blue bricks and gray tiles, and the eaves are full of lanterns. Xiao Er stood on both sides of the door, bent down and smiled to greet the guests inside.

"Beggar~ Get out. Xiao Er, who was standing at the door to greet him, saw Ye Qing covered in dirty footprints, and immediately changed his face.

"I'm looking for Boss Chen Zijia Chen. Ye Qing rolled his eyes: "I'll look for him to sell things." ”

"Selling things?" Xiao Er sneered loudly: "You little beggar, what can you do that is worth seeing Ye Chen?"

"Not let in?"

"Let me in~ Find Chen Ye and let me in~ But two hours ago, Chen Ye ordered no one to disturb him. If you want to see Chen Ye, you have to wait for Chen Ye to finish the business at hand. ”

As soon as Ye Qing's left foot was lifted in, his foot was stopped.

"You have to wait outside, and you can only go in when Chen Ye is done. ”
