Chapter 12: Windfall!

The skin becomes finer and the body bones become stronger.

After more than an hour, the warmth in his stomach dissipated, and Liang Qu, who was mostly digested, carefully compared the water surface and found that he had become more handsome.

It's still a little darker, but the originally rough skin is much more delicate and looks very heroic. When I clenched my fists, I could clearly feel more power, and I could swing them vigorously.

If Liang Qu grew up eating whole grains and bran vegetables, then after eating Baoyu, he grew up eating meat, eggs and milk. He also grew up healthily, but his gold content was completely different, and his mental outlook was completely different.

It's so comfortable, and the feeling of power all over my body is great.

Jump higher, run faster, breathe slower, and your whole body seems to relax.

"No wonder a treasure fish can be favored by martial arts masters. It is simply a magical object that strengthens the body, nourishes the spirit, and forts the body. If there were a hundred of them, I wouldn't even need to enter a martial arts hall. They would just go into the skin, flesh, and bones of the fish on their own. , blood, four levels.”

Liang Qu stood up, put on his clothes, and after confirming that the overly nourishing blush on his face had dissipated, he rowed the famous oar back to the port without much effort. He couldn't wait to sell the treasure fish in his hand in exchange for the qualification to be promoted.

As a result, before he reached the shore to pay the berthing fee, he saw a large group of people gathered on the shore from a distance, and it was very lively.

What day?

Didn’t we celebrate the moon last month? Are there any festivals I don’t know about?

Liang Qu put down the oar, picked up the spade and approached the pier. Someone came to collect the fee.

He took out two cents from his pocket and handed it over. He looked around the crowd with the fish basket in his hand and found the tall Li Libo at a glance.

Sure enough, wherever there is excitement, he is there, and he belongs to Guzao Lezi people.

Pulling it out, Liang Qu asked, "What happened?"

"Hey...who is it?" Li Libo was pulled out of the crowd and looked dissatisfied, but the huge force on his wrist made him unable to resist. He bared his teeth and left the crowd. When he looked back, he saw that it was Liang Qu. "Why is it you, kid? What kind of medicine have you taken to make your hands so strong?"

Liang Qu was unmoved: "You haven't told me yet, what's going on with so many people?"

"Hey, it's a coincidence that you came here. Someone also caught a treasure fish in our port! It looks like a black fish but is red all over. It weighs two pounds, three taels and six dollars. Someone has caught it before. What is it called? One pound is one It’s two silver coins.”

Li Libo was as proud as if he had caught the treasure fish, and did not notice the change in Liang Qu's expression at all.

Baoyu said it was not too much, but it was too little. There were always one or two lucky people in a port every month, but Liang Qu didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He happened to meet Baoyu just as he was about to sell it.

Fortunately, it's not in the way. The supply of treasure fish is already in short supply, so it won't be affected if you bump into it. Maybe the martial artist will buy two at once, and if he is happy, he will give you more money.

Seeing that there were many people around, Liang Qu cleared his throat and shouted: "Our Shangrao port is really favored by the river god. We caught two precious fish in one day!"

Li Libo, who was the closest, was yelled to the point of pain in his ears: "What nonsense are you talking about? Chen Jiechang only caught one treasure fish!?"

Just as everyone's eyes moved over, Liang Qu lifted up the fish basket, slipped out the horned pomfret by the gills, and held it high.

"The second thing I said is not his, but mine!"

Wow!

The onlookers were in an uproar, and the large concentric circles turned into double tubes in an instant.

"Isn't this just a pomfret?"

"It's not a pomfret. Look carefully, that fish has horns on its head!"

"It's true. There are horns on the head. It's a treasure fish. It's a treasure fish!"

After being confirmed by the people around, the already bustling pier became even more crowded, with more and more people gathering here, wanting to see the treasure fish in all its glory.

The treasure fish I have heard of in the past all have unusual body color and lines, but today there is actually a strange-shaped one with horns on its head!

"Who caught it?"

"It's Ah Shui,

The son of the old Liang family! The fishing is great, more than thirty fish are caught every day. "

"Lao Liang? The one who passed away last month? You must be so lucky."

“Old Liang’s family’s fate should not be cut off!”

"Awesome, one precious fish can feed me enough rice for several months! If I can catch one, I will die without regrets."

"If you are caught, the person who makes the money will be the madam in the dark alley, hahahaha!"

The crowd was very lively. After all, it was very rare to catch two treasure fish in the same port on the same day. Everyone was trying to be happy.

Liang Qu looked around and saw the envy and naked desire in everyone's eyes. He never thought that the description in the novel was actually true and could really be seen.

"Ah Shui, I have a daughter who has not yet left the court, how about making a promise to you?"

"Uncle Chen Yi, your daughter is only nine years old, right?" Liang Qu felt numb when he saw that the person speaking was Chen Yi, whom he had met last time.

"His family is not good enough. He is not worthy of a handsome young man like you. Come to my house and let you see my daughter."

"Come on, Shi Laoer, the one in your family is already eighteen."

"Do you understand a female junior holding a gold brick?"

Chen Qingjiang can support a family by himself. An orphan like Liang Qu, who is handsome and has strong fishing ability, is the meat and potatoes of the cake. Anyone who has a daughter in the family must take a bite.

Thinking of the carriage that had avoided him when he first arrived, Liang Qu had already realized what it means to be in the east of the river for thirty years and to the west of the river in another month.

However, Liang Qu didn't resent it. Being poor means being alone. This is the helplessness of the people at the bottom.

Surrounded by the crowd, the two tubes squeezed back into one tube.

Liang Qu met Chen Jiechang, who had also caught the treasure fish. He was about twenty years old, tall and dark-skinned. None of the fishermen were fair. This man was also a well-known fishing expert in Shangrao Port, better than Chen Shu. A little stronger, earning more than a hundred cents a day.

When Chen Jiechang saw Liang Qu, his limelight was being taken away by two people, he naturally felt unhappy, but not much, and he still kept a smile on his face.

This is the joy of being a countryman. If I live a better life than you, it will be comfortable. If not, it will be uncomfortable.

Liang Qu had a second uncle in his previous life. After he graduated from high school and was admitted to a prestigious university, he had a bad face all day just because he did better than his grandson in the exam. When they met, his major was more important than university. As a result, after graduation, he had to enter the society. It depends on the rhetoric of connections.

The two looked at each other's treasure fish.

Chen Jiechang's fish is similar to the black fish, but the color is completely different. The whole body is vermilion, as if cast by blood, which is a good color.

"The martial artist is here, the martial artist is here!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Master Martial Arts Master is here to see Baoyu!"

The crowd dispersed, and Liang Qu and Chen Jiechang looked up and found that there were three people coming, all of them men. They were obviously taller than the people around them, and their backs were very straight.

Is this a martial artist? It should just be a warrior, right?

Those who have broken through the four levels are called martial arts masters, and those who have not broken through are just martial artists. There are not many martial arts masters in the entire Pingyang Town. Ordinary people have little knowledge, so they naturally confuse the two. Maybe they know it, but they still call it that.

Among the three, the leader introduced himself. His surname was Hu. He happened to be traveling from Pingyang Town to Yixing City for work. He heard that there was a treasure fish on the port, so he came to take a look. If it was true, he paid for it.

Chen Jiechang greeted quickly: "Master martial artist, look at me."

Master Hu came to Chen Jiechang and took a look: "Red Blood Bass, how heavy it is."

Chen Jiechang said nervously: "Two pounds, seven taels and six dollars!"

"Will you sell it for three taels of silver?"

"Sell, sell, sell!"

Chen Jiechang beamed with joy. Three taels of silver was enough for more than a year's worth of rice. Last month, the three pounds and sixty taels of tiger-headed spot from the port next door were only three taels and five cents. After all, his own red-blooded seabass is worth more!

Master Hu paid with the fish without weighing it at all. Apparently he felt that the other party did not dare to deceive him.

He came to Liang Qu again and was surprised when he found that the pomfret had two horns on its head: "Ox-horned pomfret? It's quite rare. How heavy is it?"

Liang Qu observed Master Hu's expression, lowered his head slightly and replied: "Three catties, two liang, one penny."

When everyone gathered around to watch the excitement, he had already asked someone to help weigh it, so there would be no mistake.

"Sixty-two-five dollars, do you want to sell it?"

"Six taels?"

Chen Jiechang paused on the side, and the fishermen beside him were silent.
