It was quiet on the fish market pier, no one said a word.
The fish teethers each stretched out their hands to cover their mouths and winked at each other with furtive expressions.
Standing on the periphery of the crowd, the fishermen who had already caught all the catch today were grinning and making faces. With the shrewdness and cunning unique to ordinary people, they smiled secretly and squinted at the short and fat old man.
Ever since Chutian overturned the original fish stall three years ago and occupied the mouth of the Baimang River instead, the fishermen of the Baimang River have never used a single carp scale. The dignitaries of Yizhou City have not tasted carp for three years!
The big carp in the Baimang River is a good thing. But in the past three years, so many guests from Yazhou City, carrying white silver and yellow gold, have sought connections and found ways, and have found many fishermen and fishermen, but they can't get a big carp!
The short, fat old man asked for ten giant carp with golden scales, one foot long, as soon as he opened his mouth. Hey!
"Send guests off, we won't do this business!" Chu Tian sat calmly on the armchair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His calm and calm expression was a bit like the officials in Yazhou City who serve tea to see off guests. style.
The four big men standing behind Chu Tian took a step forward in unison, and hit the ground heavily with their brow-level sticks in their hands. The eyebrow-level stick made of ironwood hit the stone slabs on the ground, making a dull sound.
The short and fat old man glanced sideways at the four big men, slowly put his hands on his back, and shook his head with a smile: "Ling Fu, the young man, is the second housekeeper of the Ling family. He is responsible for working for the young masters and ladies of the Ling family. . Master Ling Yue is the most promising person of my generation, the Ling family. If he wants ten giant carps with golden scales that are one foot long, he will definitely get them."
With a cold smile, Ling Fu said coldly: "If not, Master Ling Yue will be unhappy. If he is unhappy, our master, my wife, and the great master and madam will not be happy. I, Ling Fu , naturally there is no way to be happy."
"I, Ling Fu, am not a noble person, but if I, Ling Fu, are unhappy, some people will not be able to continue to be happy!"
Shaking his hands, Ling Fu took out another golden garlic strip from his sleeve and slapped it on the tea table next to Chu Tian.
"Pa, pa, pa", Ling Fu took out seven gold garlic bars one by one, and slapped them on the tea table one by one. Ten gold garlic bars were neatly placed there in a row. The gold bars with extremely high purity melted under the sun. It looked like ten coals of fire emitting a dazzling light.
The fishermen around them shrank back and did not dare to say anything, and the fishermen held their breaths, fearing that their rough breath would disturb Chu Tian and Ling Fu.
Ten garlic strips of gold, a hundred taels of gold!
In Yazhou, this was a real huge sum of money. Chutian took over it from his previous fish stall owner, and the three-in-one house probably wouldn't even cost a piece of gold.
Yazhou is a borderland, so gold is extremely valuable. Cutting off a piece of gold like this is enough to find ten or eight heroes in the city of Yazhou to help you do some shady and underhanded things.
For example, cutting off someone's limbs, smashing someone's head, stuffing someone into a sack and throwing them into the Baimang River. Ten pieces of garlic gold are enough to make a hundred and eighty heroes weak in the waist, nodding and bowing, and calling you "Master"!
Chu Tian tilted his head, the pink hydrangeas on his bun swayed, and he squinted at the ten golden garlic strips.
"Ling Fu, second housekeeper, are you using gold to pressure me?"
Ling Fu's round face was full of smiles, and he smiled gently: "No, I am using the Ling family to suppress you! Chu stall, you are just a fish seller, like a pig or dog. I, the Ling family , is the closest relative of the Chu family in Yizhou, and my master is the army commander of Yizhou City."
The Sima of the Yaozhou Army is the auxiliary officer of the Yaozhou military affairs. He can mobilize the soldiers of the Yaozhou state. Although his rank is not high, he is a serious and powerful figure.
Especially for people like Chu Tian, who were working in all walks of life in the market, the intimidating power of a military commander was even greater than that of a prefect.
The faces of the surrounding fishermen and fishermen were all ugly, and they all looked at Chu Tian worriedly.
The Ling family cannot afford to offend anyone.
The Chu family behind the Ling family was even more untouchable.
If Chu Tian really made them angry, the master Ling Fu said could randomly mobilize a group of state soldiers to pacify the fish market in Baimang River and wipe out Chu Tian, the fish stall owner, and all the forces under his command.
These Yuyazi and the fishermen all have an account in their hearts. Compared with the fish stall head who took office three years ago, Chutian is simply a Buddha-like figure in every family. After he took over the Baimangjiang Fish Market, whether it was Yuyazi The work of fishermen and fishermen has become much better, and life is getting better day by day!
If something goes wrong in Chutian and the fish stall is replaced by the one from three years ago, everyone will have to eat rice bran and drink the northwest wind.
A fisherman with dark skin and a build like an iron tower suddenly walked out of the crowd. He said angrily: "At the stall, there are good big carps in the Baimang River. It's in the eddy under the Tiger Tooth Cliff upstream. There is nothing better than a nest of big carp."
Slapping his chest vigorously, the iron-tower-like fisherman man smiled honestly and said: "I will take a group of brothers there, and we will be able to catch enough big carps for a day and a night at most. Golden scales are rare, but there are in this white python river. Everything.”
"Hey, hey, let's go. Big Heizi, if you have the strength to go to Tiger Tooth Cliff to risk your life, why not go home and hug your wife!" Chu Tian pointed at the big man in the Black Tower and said "hey" twice, and then looked at Ling Fu: "Second housekeeper, did you know..."
"For three years, there hasn't been a single carp in Baimangjiang Fish Market!" Ling Fu smiled brightly: "We don't care what the mystery is, but this time my young master Ling Yue wants ten big carps with golden scales that are one foot long. , before noon three days later, you, Mr. Chu, will personally take people to the gate of Yishan Academy. If you miss our young master’s interest, hehe, hehe, hehe!”
After sneering three times, Ling Fu clasped his hands behind his back, held his head high, and left the crowd with two handsome-looking boys.
As he walked, Ling Fu murmured and cursed: "You are a pig-dog-like despicable person, do you really think of yourself as a thing?"
"Ah, ah, ah, there are no men in Yizhou City? The big carp in Baimang River is a famous catch. There hasn't been a carp in three years. There are so many gentlemen and young men in Yizhou City, but none of them can break this guy's. Brain?"
"The unruly people, they are really unruly people, they need to be properly rectified. Just give the big carp that the young master asked for, otherwise I will break your head and break your two dog legs. Scared, it's just a fish seller. ,Nonsence!"
