Chapter 649: You took kickbacks, didn’t you?

Chapter 650 You kid took a kickback!

Haifangzhu stirred the water and gave another way out.

Wei Lin no longer refused.

Ten times the trade.

A subtle number that both parties could accept.

"Wei Tiling is generous!"

"Xu Tiling is generous!"

"For Pingyang, for Dashun, create more glory!"

Sui Hongyan made a ring with her thumb and index finger, put it in her mouth and blew a loud whistle, applauding vigorously.

Wei Lin looked up.

The applause gradually stopped.

Commander Zuo Heng pinched Sui Hongyan's shoulder and laughed.

Twenty times.

It's my fault.

If Duke Liang doesn't work hard, Wei Lin alone will definitely not be able to take it down.

"Zhongshi, I leave it to you! Don't forget to build the bathhouse, and finish it before the New Year!"

Xu Yuelong took the waist card.

"Where are you going?"

"The wind is strong!"

Xu Yuelong entrusted the important task to his deputy Ran Zhongshi, and he carried the fishing rod and bait on his back and hurriedly sailed away.

I will not dock until the fish basket is full!

Liang Qu glanced at Wei Lin from the corner of his eye, and his face showed no joy or anger, but his eyes were fixed on the boat that was getting farther and farther away.

"Don't worry about him, work."

Ran Zhongshi was used to it, patted Liang Qu on the shoulder, licked the ink with a pen, and registered it in the warehouse.

I didn't worry about venting anger.

The chief and deputy leaders have always only targeted each other, unless someone who is blind took the initiative to approach.

The farce stopped.

The owner of the sea was happy.

The next day.

After five days of waiting and five days of trading, time passed quickly and it was the end of December.

The early morning was particularly cold, and the water tank in the courtyard was covered with three inches of ice. The river official was carrying a treasure chest and passing by the inner courtyard. He raised his hand to break the ice layer, and several blue crucian carps floated to the water to breathe.

Pier.

The boats dispatched by King Yue, Su Guishan, and Weng Lijun were all drained.

The sea master counted the harvest, and the translucent tentacles wrapped around Liang Qu, rubbed against his face intimately, and his joy was beyond words.

It was cold and slippery, and it felt like jelly.

After a while.

While no one was paying attention.

The sea master wrapped around Liang Qu, submerged in the water, and took out something from the "carriage" on the back of the giant crab with his tentacles and stuffed it into Liang Qu.

"Master, this is..."

Liang Qu hugged the tube in his hand, which was filled with fist-sized fish eggs, densely packed.

"Diamond squid eggs. I'll keep them for myself, and the remaining half tube will be given to Xiaoshui. Thank you for Xiaoshui's recommendation."

The tentacle patted his head.

Hey!

The owner of the sea is really good.

Generous and enthusiastic.

There will be kickbacks!

"Thank you, Lord Owner!"

Liang Qu hugged the squid eggs, quite surprised.

A complete tube of squid eggs is more than three meters long, but the one in front is only more than two meters, less than ten feet, which is indeed the leftovers.

But the half tube in front of him has at least two or three thousand fish eggs, and the essence of one squid egg is twenty or thirty, which cannot be underestimated.

It would be a waste if you don't take it.

Back to the shore.

Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin surrounded him, looking at him with doubts.

"Did you take kickbacks?"

"Kickbacks? What kickbacks?" Liang Qu denied it flatly. "We are all colleagues. Don't slander me. I am innocent. How could I take kickbacks?"

"No kickbacks, why are you blushing?"

"Radiant!"

"Don't lie! I clearly saw Haifangzhu stuffing you with something! It's not small!" Ke Wenbin gestured with his hands, "Short, thick, like a tube, whoever sees it gets a share, whoever sees it gets a share! Where did you hide it?"

"You don't work and just slack off? You stare at me all day long? You have a homosexual habit, right?"

"Get out of here, I have eyes and ears everywhere! Any kickbacks will not escape my eyes!"

"Deal, deal!"

Liang Qu went back into the water and took out a group of squid eggs that were not warmed up, about a hundred.

Everyone was not polite. They reached out to take them, pinched them, shook them, and tossed them. The unformed squids swayed back and forth.

Sniff.

"What is this? It smells strange."

"Like fish eggs."

"This is the eggs of diamond squid. Looking at the whole ocean, it is also a delicacy..."

Swish!

A figure flashed by, and the breeze blew on his face.

"Lord Su!"

Everyone was startled.

Su Guishan looked down: "Where did the fish eggs come from?"

"The owner of the sea thanked me for my recommendation and sent it to me."

"Aren't there any more?"

"The last half a tube, the owner of the sea kept it for himself."

Liang Qu showed a smug look.

A small half a tube?

Su Guishan's eyes were meaningful.

...

"See you next year."

"See you next year!"

The owner of the sea stretched out his tentacles and waved gently.

Plop!

The salamander crawled, dragging the heavy and abundant "carriage" back into the water, and the giant manta ray turned over, splashed water, and dived underwater.

The long sea merchant team swam to the distance again and disappeared.

The porpoises in the river and lake were so excited that they sprayed water to celebrate.

The villagers were still not satisfied.

It was a grand scene that they had never seen in their lives.

In a few days, they had accumulated a lot of topics to talk about, enough to tell their grandchildren in the future.

"Work, work! Finish everything before dark! The King of Yue belongs to the King of Yue, and the other prefectures belong to other prefectures. Don't mix them up!"

"If there are precious fish, collect them first!"

Ran Zhongshi clapped his hands.

The excitement stopped for a while, and the chief clerk and clerk of the river and lake office had to take a rest to count the new materials exchanged.

There were too many things bought, and many of them had not yet been sorted and recorded in the exchange book.

In particular, many precious fish, precious plants and minerals belonged to the deep sea, which was unprecedented.

Fortunately, the buyer doesn't know them, but the seller knows them. If you take them out for business, you won't be confused. Just ask when you change them, write them down, and label them one by one.

evening.

The sunset is orange and red, and the shadows of people are intertwined.

Chen Zhaoan, an old man from Yixing Township, led people to find Liangqu.

"Mr. Chen Xiang? Is there something wrong?"

Liang Qu put down his work.

"Master Liang, it's not a big deal. I just came to ask if we want to hold a river god festival this winter?" Chen Zhaoan said.

In the past, the big demon would show up and specify what to do.

But Yixing Town is no longer the remote town it once was.

The best way to get rid of ignorance is undoubtedly to broaden your horizons. Teaching alone may not be effective. People must see it with their own eyes and see more.

It is only a dozen miles away from Pingyang Fucheng and the river is even closer. It can be reached in just a few steps. There is an endless stream of businessmen and martial arts masters with extraordinary skills coming from north to south.

Nowadays, holding a river god festival is more or less like an excuse to have fun, rather than just to respect the river god.

So Chen Zhaoan came here to ask.

"Do it! Why not do it?" Liang Qu asked without thinking, "Can Xiaohan finish it before?"

The higher the favor.

The stronger the water control ability.

The white ape and the dragon are at odds with each other, and there is no reason not to do something about it.

"It will be Xiaohan in five days. The time is too tight and it may not be as prosperous and lively as the summer."

Chen Zhaoan estimates.

"It's okay, let's just take care of it."

The end of January is the New Year's Day.

Calculate the distance.

Liang Qu estimated that he would receive the order around the middle of the month and rush to the imperial capital. It would be too late to make the trip to the River God Festival.

Chen Zhaoan had no objection.

"I wonder what Mr. Liang wants this year?"

Give it a little thought.

"Slaughter two more big fat pigs. We have been busy for a year. We should save some oil and water before the New Year. In addition, we set up a hot porridge shed with two jars of pickles. It's cold this year. Don't expect me to see the town freeze to death someday. , people starved to death.

Mr. Chen took the time to rent three large bathhouses for three days. If he met someone from our town, he would let them in and take a hot bath. It would be bad luck for a year.

Remember to ask the shopkeeper to boil the water hot enough and change the water frequently to avoid getting cold after washing.

Oh, yes, Mr. Chen Xiang, please do me a favor. Not counting those who moved later, please register and give me the locals from Yixing City who are between the ages of 14, 15 and 20. They have good personalities and are willing to endure hardships. Yes, mark it out with a cinnabar pen. "
