Volume 5 Chapter 23

Not far from the door, Lin Xi saw Liang Sansi trot up all the way.

Lin Xi knew that Liang Sansi must be afraid that he would not be able to move easily when he came to Donggang Town alone, so he must have been waiting nearby today.

Because it's not convenient to have a constable to follow him just to go shopping in the fish market, Lin Xi tells Liang Sansi not to follow him after a few words, but to walk towards the fish market alone.

The reason why this fish market can become one of the three major cities in Donggang Town is that it is not only for the daily needs of the town people, but also a large distribution center for fishermen and fishmongers on the whole Xizi river.

From a distance, the overlapped butter cloth canopy on the fish market is like a sailboat. There are more than 120 fixed berths in it. In addition, there are water markets in the small harbor below. In the morning and evening, there are at least 50 or 60 small fishing boats on the Xizi river.

The fish caught by these small fishing boats scattered in the same day is a little cheaper than those in the shop, but the size of the fish is not uniform, so the staff of some local restaurants and restaurants often row a boat directly between these small fishing boats to choose something to use.

Lin Xi along the Qingshiban road which was washed clean by yesterday's drizzle, there is still a section from the entrance of the fish market. A strong fishy smell rushes directly into the nose, even the surrounding air seems to be a little sticky.

But Lin Xi is a joy.

Because at the moment, we can see it more clearly. The terrain of the fish market is not gentle, just like a hillside, which makes the shops on the top seem to be stacked on the shops on the bottom, which is extremely crowded. The canopy on the top is overlapped and overlapped again, which gives a sense of blocking the sky and the sun.

Most of the berths are decorated with fancy brocade flag signboards, and only a few dozen of them are decorated with black lacquer and solid wood door plaques. However, in front of all these berths, in addition to the large wooden buckets with different depths, there are stone pools in the interior.

Some pools look huge at a glance, even a kilogram of fish are in full bloom, such a scale of fish market, for Lin Xi's "depend on the water" is of course the best.

Lin Xi mainly wants to find two kinds of fish, black sturgeon and snow fish, which are unique in Xizi river.

The xizijiang river is very deep, so the river below is very cold. There is a unique black sturgeon in it. This kind of fish is not only large in size, but can grow to more than 20 or 30 jin. According to the books of qingluan college, the nutrition of this kind of fish is three to five times more useful for practitioners than other common fish such as river carp and green fish. But for practitioners, the most precious black sturgeon with seeds. Each egg of the sturgeon in the Xizi river is half the size of a green bean. It is black and crystal, commonly known as "black gold". These fish eggs are the precious condiments of some big restaurants, but for practitioners, they are more valuable tonics.

Snowflake fish is a kind of willow fish in the river. This kind of small white fish usually only comes to the field. For practitioners, the most valuable one is the white backbone of the fish. It can be used to cook soup or even all of it can be melted. After frozen, it will become a white and smooth jelly.

The price of these two kinds of fish is very high, and the quantity of them has become very rare under the fishers' highly purposeful fishing methods.

At present, for Lin Xi, the larger the fish market, the richer the fish in it, the more likely it is to find these rare things.

There was no stopping. Lin Xi looked at it and walked into the fish market.

...

when Lin Xi entered the fish market, one of the three major cities in Donggang Town, a wupeng fishing boat was fishing near the river in the distance.

At the bow of the boat was a young Fisherman and his wife, who were taking in the net.

Both of them were dressed in coarse cloth, and their faces were suntanned. They looked healthy, strong and honest.

On the deck at the stern, there was a little boy who was babbling. He was holding a rough wooden duck in his hand. His black and innocent eyes were staring at the river outside the eaves of the boat not far away from him. There was no fear at all.

In the waves of the river at the stern, there is a large area of white foam. There are many vegetable oil stars floating in it. It should have been left when a big ship passed by. For the fisherman and children born on the river, it seems that they have seen strange things for a long time and don't feel strange.

But all of a sudden, the boy, who could not speak, had a very curious look in his eyes.

There was a blue and white death floating on the edge of a large area of white foam, vegetable leaves and other things. In the water of the river with white foam, the boy seemed to be swollen. He couldn't help making a sound. His little hands and feet began to beat the deck, trying to let his parents in the bow to see what it was. But at this time, the young Fisherman and his wife in the bow At the critical moment when Zizheng was collecting the net, he had no time to deal with the matter at the stern. Instead, the sound of knocking on the deck made them feel more at ease.

This large area of foam and a group of dead things floating in it floated past them from behind, far away from the small fishing boat.

The little boy couldn't see and became quiet.

The young fishermen and their wife didn't see this group of things, but this group of things, in the water foam not far away from the river, slowly along the current, towards the downstream, towards the largest Wharf in Donggang Town, Donggang, drifting past.

……

"Black sturgeon? This thing is hard to find. A few days ago, Wang Mazi got one, but it was taken away. As for the snowflake fish, we often see it. It's not difficult to find a dozen or so people on the water market boat to make a bowl. "

Lin Xi stood in front of a shop, talking to a thin boss with a palm fan.

The pattern of most shops in this area is the same. There is a big table between the big bucket and the pool. If you want to kill the fish now after buying it, the guys in the shop will directly kill the fish on this table. All the scales and viscera removed will be thrown into a big bucket below.

The fish market is large, and there are many strange and extraordinarily large fish for Lin Xi. Just walking through several bunks, Lin Xi saw more than one big herring weighing at least 30 jin, and even more big black fish growing out of one arm than an adult.

Just a few random inquiries, it seems that the black sturgeon he wants to find is rare, and the whole fish market usually takes about five or six days to produce such a one.

However, after listening to several good talkers, Lin Xi did not get nothing. At least he knew that the shops in the middle of the fish market with thirteen dock plaques were all the shops of Xu Pang, and the means of these shops were relatively large, and they were willing to spend money to buy things, so some of the rare things on the river, some of the big "fish king" would mostly come out there Now.

A few days ago, a shop came out of this year's king crab. A green shell river crab received is the size of a small washbasin. It is said that if several barbed wire nets are damaged, two fingers of a fisherman will be broken when they are caught.

Let Lin Xi feel that some of the meaning is that the more than a dozen shops of Xu Pang are different shopkeepers.

This is obviously to let the eight immortals of these shopkeepers cross the sea and show their magic power. At that time, we will see which shopkeeper's shop has the best harvest, which will also stimulate the enthusiasm of each shop shopkeeper.

"Eh What is this? Lin Xi wanted to walk all the way to Xu pangzi's shops, but after walking through a humble shop, he suddenly stopped and went back to the small shop, looking at a group of green things in the small stone pool at the door with a little surprise.

He had just passed by. He thought it was a millstone in the water, but after passing, he felt it was a living thing. When he came to the pool, he could see that it was an old turtle with the size of a foot basin, and its shell was covered with cyan gray algae.

His heart was full of surprises.

Deep water turtle!

This is a kind of tonic that he also told in the pamphlet that he brought from qingluan college.

There is a special name in the pamphlet for this kind of turtle, which is called "laojiangtuan!"

it will take at least 150 years to grow to this size of laojiangtuan. Moreover, this kind of laojiangtuan has a very strong digestion ability. Everything is even if it is swallowed by shells and mud, and the stomach is full of sand and stone, and the meat is very old. Even if it is cooked for several days, it will not rot, and it will smell fishy It's hard to get rid of. Ordinary people can't eat it at all. But the way Lin Xi brought out the pamphlet from qingluan college is that he can use several medicines to make the old river regiment spit out all the mud. When cooking, he can also use some means to get rid of the fetid smell and stew the meat.

Such an old river group, I'm afraid, is enough for Albert to have two meals, which is really a surprise.

The owner of this shop is a fat landlady, dressed in a black cloth shirt and wearing a waterproof apron. Seeing Lin Xi looking at the old river regiment by the pool, he immediately walked up with a smile on his face and said: "how do you like this old turtle, little brother? This kind of old turtle is most suitable for warm tonic. It can be boiled for a few days. Just drinking soup is tonic. "

"But it's hard to get rid of the fishy smell of the old turtle. I'm afraid it's not edible." Lin Xi smiled and said.

The owner's mother was slightly stiff, but she smiled even more brightly: "since my brother is so knowledgeable, then I bought this old turtle to let go?"

"How much silver?" Lin Xi's father in Lulin town is a businessman. He naturally knows that the better he behaves, the more he will be cut off. So he doesn't talk nonsense. He orders the old group turtle and looks at the owner's wife and asks.

As soon as the boss's mother heard the real price, she was in a good mood and held out four fingers: "four or two grains of silver."

Lin Xi shook his head, "Er Liang."

"My little ancestor, you can inquire. This year, only one turtle is bigger than mine. Although I am not the king of Jiangtuan, I am the second. This... ".

" even the king of Jiangtuan is useless. The key is to be useful. " Lin Xi interrupts the landlady directly.

"Three Liang silver, no matter how low it is," said the landlady with a bitter face

Lin Xi took a look at the landlady and turned around and said, "that's OK."

"My little ancestor, you are Jinkou. Two is two! " Looking at Lin Xi's steps, the landlady finally called out.

The owner's wife, who suffered a great loss but was very satisfied with her tender flesh, only used one or two silver coins to collect them yesterday. At most, they can only be used to ask the God to worship the Buddha and release the old group turtle. Today, they earn one or two silver coins.

And Lin Xi is smiling in his heart.

That is to say, if the price of this old Jiangtuan is to be doubled in a small place like this, in a big city with a lot of cultivators, the price of this old Jiangtuan will not know how many times it needs to be doubled, and which two liang of silver can be bought.
