Mysterious Catastrophe

All the fishermen cheered up and began to shout:

"Sell fish!"

"Sell fish!"

"The best red-tailed carp is abundant every year. It's a good omen..."

"Look at this shellfish, it's fresh and tender!"

"Live and jumpy freshwater shrimp, if you come late, you will be gone!"

……

"Auntie, do you want to buy fish?"

Aaron saw an old lady wearing a wooden hairpin and a blue and white sarong approaching, and hurriedly greeted her.

Make money, not shabby!

"How do you sell this fish, young man?"

The aunt took a fancy to the biggest crucian carp and found that it was alive and kicking, and it was indeed very fresh, so she asked with satisfaction.

"In the past, it was ten big money. I think it is cheaper for you. It only costs eight big money, and I will clean it for you. What do you think?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "That's OK!"

The business opened up, and Aaron's markdown helped a lot.

But when he watched his biggest fish being bought away, he suddenly fell silent...

'After so many days of fishing, the biggest one was bought... I got eight big money, and I just made up the amount that was exploited before...The next fish will not be so easy to sell, what a loss... '

Sure enough, Aaron's premonition came true.

After the biggest fish was bought, a few more customers came, and they were not very satisfied with picking left and right.

Even if the price is reduced, it is difficult to impress the other party.

By the time the sun was high, Aaron had only sold less than half of the fish, and the fish market had already closed, and the rest could only be thrown away.

After calculating the accounts, a total of [-] big money was recorded in the account, and after deducting the exploitation, there were still twelve big money left.

"Alas... close to the river and sea, the fish can't be sold at a high price, and inland transportation is a trouble... there is a price but no market."

Aaron sighed, put away the fish basket, and went to a shop in the fish market. With his own savings, he bought a jar of salt for [-] bucks.

The salt numbers of officials and merchants are only located in the city.

So this shop on the wharf actually sells...private salt!

However, it is said that the owner of the firm has a strong background and is well-off in the official world, so no one cares about it.

'Private salt is so low-quality and expensive...how come the salt sellers don't roll it up? '

'Monopoly ah... oh, that's all right! '

Aaron passed a fortune-telling booth while carrying a fish basket and an earthen jar.

Although he couldn't understand the ghostly characters, he still knew the pen and paper.

But he just glanced at it, and walked over as if nothing happened.

Although he really wants to learn Chinese and calligraphy, Aaron is not in a hurry.

After all, they are immortal, so they still care about this little time?

When he came to the fish market this time, he only wanted to find out the bottom line, and he didn't do anything else that could attract attention.

Not long after, Aaron walked out of the fish market and came to a restaurant by the pier.

This restaurant only has a few kitchens and stoves at the back, and a shed is built outside to block the sun, which looks very simple, and a signboard with peeling paint is erected outside the shed.

Although Aaron is illiterate, he remembers people calling this place 'Yuyang Restaurant'.

He looked at the signboard and secretly remembered it.

Walking into the restaurant, the tables and stools on all sides are missing arms and legs, but most of the people who come here to drink wear short skirts, and their clothes are full of patches, so they don't care about it at all.

Some bought wine directly on the counter, took wine bowls and dishes, and squatted at the door to drink.

Only two wines are sold here.

One is 'burning knives', which is extremely strong in the mouth, and it is most suitable for warming up the body.

The other is 'old rice wine', the more it is stewed, the more fragrant it becomes.

Side dishes with wine include broad beans, dried tofu, and sliced ​​white meat.

Burning knives and old rice wine cost a big buck a bowl, broad beans and dried tofu cost a big buck a dish, and white sliced ​​meat cost five big bucks a dish.

If you really want to eat meat, but you can't afford five big bucks, you can also buy three big bucks a bowl of rotten meat noodles, which is right as a tooth-beating sacrifice.

In the past, every time Fang Yu sold fish in the fish market, he would always come here to order a bowl of 'burning knives' and order other appetizers depending on the situation.

The humidity on the lake is heavy. Not to mention the old age, the fishermen have difficulty bending and stretching at the age of three or 40. There are many cases of backaches and backaches.

Second, I want to see the owner of 'Yuyang Restaurant' - Siniang!

There are always many unsatisfactory things in life. After suffering so long, suffering people also need a place to vent.

After hard work, coming to see the beautiful lady boss, drinking and bragging, and making jokes are one of the few pleasures in Xiaomin's life.

"Yo? Ayu, you haven't come for a while."

Walking into the restaurant and coming to the counter, the shop waiter knew Fang Yu, and asked with a smile, "What do you want?"

'Warm two bowls of wine and order a plate of fennel beans! '

Aaron almost blurted out that this sentence was indeed said by a certain writer, but he held back: "As usual!"

"Come on! A bowl of 'burning knives' and a plate of dried tofu!"

Aaron took out two large coins, took the wine bowl and dishes from the counter, found a corner and sat down to drink slowly.

Although the bench seems to be a little uneven, and the tabletop has some wooden thorns...but Fang Yu before obviously didn't care about this.

The burning knife is extremely intense, like a line of fire going straight into the stomach, which is completely different from the feeling of eating 'red blood carp' soup.

Aaron picked up a piece of dried tofu and tasted it slowly, while quietly pricking up his ears:

"Speaking of the mansion...have you seen the oiran 'Bai Mudan'? I saw her last time. She is really a beauty like a fairy. If I can sleep once, it will be worth dying..."

"Haha, Niu Er, you should go to Xichengtou Tofu Square. What do you want about White Peony?"

"If you want to see beauties, you really have a chance!"

"This year's Patriarch Liu's [-]th birthday, he wants to invite the theater troupe to sing a three-day and three-night play. As long as you say auspicious words, you can eat whatever you want at the water table!"

……

Not long after Aaron sat down, several fishermen came in. They were all familiar with each other. They greeted each other and sat down to eat and drink.

No one mentioned the matter of dysentery Liu.

After all, he is not considered 'missing' now, at least he has to disappear for more than a month before anyone notices something strange.

Moreover, I don't know whether he owed gambling debts and ran away, or if he fed the Dragon Lord.

Obviously, the government doesn't care about a black household who has no registered household name Qimin, and even if they report the case, no one may pay attention to it.

The burning of the knife was intense, and it didn't take long for Aaron to feel a little drunk.

"Siniang is here!"

At this moment, someone shouted something, and the eyes of everyone in the restaurant lit up.

Aaron also turned his head away in a hurry, and saw a plump woman with disheveled hair coming from the back kitchen.

She is about 30 years old, and her appearance is not particularly outstanding, but she has the charm of a mature woman, especially her skin can be broken, and her chest is deliberately pulled down, revealing a snow-white and smooth face, matching her face that can speak The watery almond eyes are enough to make any man addicted.

"I'm late, all distinguished guests take your time."

Si Niang has long sleeves and is good at dancing. It is said that she leaned against a certain military leader in the city behind her and greeted every customer. Even Aaron in the corner was called out by her name and said something specially.

For a time, the restaurant was full of voices, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

"Everything in the world is in it..."

When the sun was setting, Aaron walked out of the restaurant and walked to the pier with the fish basket.

The good times are always so short, and life goes on...

Chapter 531 Martial Arts and Reading

months later.

On Lake Taize.

With a fishing rod in hand, Aaron changed from fishing and spearfishing to fishing.

After all, the fishing skills are too bad, so they can only make up for it in other ways.

Fishing is patient work, and Aaron grew to like it.

"If you buy some tea, make tea and drink tea on the deck, and go fishing by the way...it will be leisurely..."

While he was thinking about it, Aaron suddenly felt his eyes go dark.

Whoohoo!

There were murmurs in his ears, like chaotic ravings.

Then, a certain stalwart figure appeared in front of Aaron's eyes.

He was wearing a black robe, and from under the robe, there seemed to be countless wriggling things coming in the form of mist...

Although it was extremely vague, the feeling of coexistence of chaos and order, exuding a strange aura made Aaron directly confirm that it was his true self!

After a moment, all hallucinations and auditory hallucinations disappeared, as if what Aaron had seen and heard before was just an illusion.

But Aaron looked at the fishing rod that fell from the boat board, and realized that it was real!

I connected to the 'main body' for a moment!

Although it was only a short moment, the brief exchange of information made Aaron understand a lot.

"My goal is not wrong, I should stick to it and become stronger at the same time..."

"At the same time, because this world is too closed and the energy level is too high... It is impossible to form a temporary spiritual channel, so don't think about the support from the main body... Wait!"

Aaron suddenly remembered something: "I held the ceremony a few months ago... and after such a long time, the main body's reply arrived... What kind of fairy delay is this?"

He thought for a while and came up with the answer: "A day in the sky and a year on the earth are nothing more than that? Is the speed of time in the two worlds already so terrifying?"

"And... this ceremony is completely useless, it can't form a channel at all, so that the spirituality supported by the main body can come... It seems that in the future, the ceremony must be used as little as possible if it is not necessary, otherwise the ghost knows when this delayed response will come... In case One is that in a life-and-death fight, wouldn’t it be my life?”

Aaron shook his head.

Put away the fishing rod, go back to the cabin, open the rice tank, and find that the rice is almost gone.

"Tomorrow I have to go to the market to buy rice... Well, all I have left is ninety bucks..."

Aaron took out the money bag, took out large copper coins, and counted them one by one.

This is all the savings of the young Fang Yu, and a large part of it is his wife Ben... planning to marry a wife and have children in the future to inherit the incense.

After all, the average life expectancy in ancient times was short, and people who were over 20 years old were considered older youths...

But Aaron naturally didn't have this idea.

Instead of saving money to marry a wife, it is better to eat supplementary nutrition for yourself.

As for inheriting incense or something?

Can children and grandchildren live as long as themselves?

At that time, it is not certain who will put incense on someone's grave!

The next day.

Wind and sunshine.

Aaron went to the 'Sanshui Wharf' before dawn as before, and suffered double exploitation from the government and gangs. After selling the fish, he went to the 'Yuyang Restaurant' first.

After all, the bag of rice is heavy, so it is not convenient to eat wine after buying rice.
