Chapter 27: Master Lin? What cats and dogs?
Fishing fence.
Qiu Cai looked much better than yesterday. He walked with his head held high, which aroused the curiosity of some fishermen.
He had just been beaten and still had wounds on his face, how could he be happy?
"Old Wang, your fish is really big, at least 40 kilograms."
He was very concerned about sending fish and shrimp to Master Lin, so he was very strict in his selection and naturally would not be perfunctory.
Old man Wang puffed on welding smoke and said proudly, "It weighed 45 kilograms. It took a lot of effort to drag it up."
Just when Qiu Cai was about to say yes, a cry of surprise came from not far away.
"Red-scaled fish, Chen San caught a lot of red-scaled fish."
Hearing this, Qiu Cai was startled and ran over quickly. The red-scaled fish is a rare species in Huitong River. This fish grows less than three inches in three years and barely one foot long in fifteen years.
In addition to its delicious meat, this fish is also very nourishing. It can improve brain function, clear up the turbid and lower the clear, replenish qi and nourish the skin, and prolong life.
Not to mention that these are wild fish from Huitong River.
It's really hard to find a fish.
Push into the crowd.
Chen San was seen protecting the fish with a smile on his face.
Qiu Cai looked carefully and found that there were ten of them. Most of them were about four or five inches long, but there was only one that was definitely more than a foot long.
"Chen San, you've made a fortune this time. The smallest red-scaled fish is worth more than one tael, not to mention the red-scaled king fish, which is worth at least five taels. You can buy it with silver."
"Yeah, in all these years, I've only caught two or three, and you caught ten at a time."
"Chen San, do you have any tricks? Share them with us."
The fishermen's eyes turned red with heat.
I am so envious that I want to vomit blood.
"Good luck, good luck." Chen San smiled and waved his hands. He didn't expect that he could catch so many red-scaled fish. If he really sold them, it would be a huge profit. Ordinary fish and shrimps would not be so valuable, not even as much as a fraction of that.
"Chen San, I want all these fish." Qiu Cai said in a loud voice.
Quiet, the originally noisy environment became completely quiet.
Everyone looked at Qiu Cai.
"Hahaha……"
"Acai, you are talking in your sleep, right? Even if I sold you and your brother, you wouldn't be able to afford these fish."
"Alas, it seems that Zhao Quan broke your head yesterday."
Faced with the ridicule, Qiu Cai was not angry.
He knew that what he said sounded like nonsense to others.
“Don’t laugh at me, I’m telling the truth. I bought these fish for Master Lin. From now on, I will be responsible for delivering the fish to the Lin’s Martial Arts School.” Qiu Cai told the truth.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Qiu Cai in shock.
"It is true?"
"real."
"Acai, are you working for Master Lin now?"
In the past, the Lin family martial arts school was a joke, but who dares to laugh now?
The status and position of the affiliated martial arts halls of Changying Martial Arts School are very high, which is not something that ordinary people like them can reach.
"That's right, I'm delivering fish to Master Lin now."
Qiu Cai was very proud, but he did not say that he was doing things, but rather that he was delivering fish. Doing things is doing things, and delivering fish is delivering fish. These are two different things.
At this moment, everyone's eyes towards Qiu Cai changed.
Giving fish is indeed enviable, but the most enviable thing is that Qiu Cai can get close to Master Lin. After a few interactions, they become friends. With Master Lin's reputation, who can bully Qiu Cai?
"Chen San, can I take this fish?"
"Okay, no problem." Chen San knew Qiu Cai well and knew he would not lie. Then he said, "Ten red-scaled fish, nine of which are small, one is one and a half taels, and the largest one is five taels. Brother Qiu Cai, do you think it's okay?"
Look, the name has changed. It has changed directly from Ah Cai, Qiu Cai, to Brother Qiu Cai.
Qiu Cai also noticed this change. He buried this joy in his heart, and knew that others respected him so much because of Master Lin.
“Okay, but you have to use this silver to deliver the fish to Master Lin. After all, I don’t have any silver now,” said Qiu Cai.
"It's okay. I'm still assured about this."
Chen San knew that the other party would definitely collect the red-scaled fish. It nourishes yin and replenishes blood, and is a tonic for people who practice martial arts. In the past, when red-scaled fish appeared on the market, they were quickly sold out.
"Make way, everyone, get out of my way. Where is the red-scale fish? Our Kongming Martial Arts School wants it." A rough voice came.
The thin and dark fishermen were slapped away by palms as big as palm-leaf fans.
Their shoulders were sore from the slap, but they dared not say anything when they saw the person coming. They could only look at the other person with anger.
When Qiu Cai saw the person coming, he felt a little nervous. Having been hanging around here for many years, he naturally recognized who the other person was.
Liang Song, a disciple of Kongming Martial Arts School.
Liang Song, along with his two fellow apprentices, swaggered up to Chen San, grabbed a red-scaled fish, and nodded with satisfaction, "Pack these fish for me, I want to take them away."
Chen San looked at Liang Song and then at Qiu Cai.
Only by selling it to Qiu can you get a fair price.
If I sell it to Liang Song, I will suffer a huge loss. It would be good enough if I can get half the silver.
Qiu Cai, please say something.
You work for Master Lin, and you have someone to protect you. But I, Chen San, am just a lousy fisherman, and I have no one to protect me.
At this time, Qiu Cai was also nervous and scared. His palms were sweating and his heart couldn't help beating. He thought about agreeing to do something for Master Lin and giving him fish. Besides, red-scaled fish was a good thing. What's more, he was buying fish for Master Lin now. If he gave it to the other party, wouldn't it mean that Master Lin was not as good as them?
Even if he didn't practice martial arts, he knew that martial artists fight for their dignity, and if that dignity is lost, it will be lost forever.
"I bought these fish earlier." Qiu Cai stepped forward and said.
Liang Song looked at Qiu Cai with disdain and sneered, "Who do you think you are? Get out of here."
No face given at all.
I didn't even bother to take a second look.
"I bought these fish for Master Lin." Qiu Cai spoke again, and this time when he mentioned 'Master Lin', he straightened his back and let out a breath.
Snapped!
Liang Song raised his hand and slapped Qiu Cai, causing him to spin in circles. Half of his face instantly became red and swollen, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The onlookers were shocked.
"What Master Lin? How dare anyone call me Master? I'm telling you, I'm from Kongming Martial Arts School. If you don't know Kongming Martial Arts School, go ask around for me."
Liang Song shouted angrily.
Kongming Martial Arts School is a subsidiary of Changying Martial Arts School and is very domineering.
Qiu Cai covered his face, his eyes were red, and he felt extremely humiliated. Instead of being afraid, he felt a surge of anger rushing straight to his head. He looked at Liang Song fiercely.
Seeing this look, Liang Song wanted to slap the other person a few times.
"Oh? Is Kongming Martial Arts School so arrogant? They actually said that I, Lin Fan, am just a nobody. This is quite interesting."
A teasing voice came.
This immediately attracted the fishermen to look towards the source of the sound.
"Master Lin is here."
"Master Lin is really here."
The fishermen were surprised.
They were very angry with Liang Song, but they were more concerned about how Qiu Cai would end up. Now it seemed that Qiu Cai's backer had appeared.
At this moment, Qiu Cai's eyes sparkled, his anger dissipated, his legs trembled, and then he walked in front of Lin Fan, respectful.
"Master Lin."
"Yeah." Lin Fan patted Qiu Cai's shoulder, "Watch."
