The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 694 But I Love Perch Beauty

The scholar on the side finally couldn't help but began to refute, "You only see them harvesting, of course you would think so, but they often get nothing. Even when the weather is bad, the fishing nets cannot reach, but their lives are in danger .”

When Zhu Pang heard this, he wanted to go back angrily. Just now this person was laughing at him, but now he comes again. Could it be that he can't be squeezed into mud?

Gu Chengyu gave him a hand. What this man said was the truth.

"This brother is right. The life of a fisherman is indeed hard. If there is a storm, such a small boat is really dangerous. And the fish are not so easy to catch, and they often return empty-handed."

Gu Chengyu lamented the difficulty of being a fisherman, and muttered to himself: "Look at a boat with a leaf, haunting the storm."

The scholar glanced at Gu Chengyu in surprise. He had seen these two people dressed in rich clothes and elegant demeanor just now, so he guessed that they were the children of a wealthy family.

Later, Zhu Pang's words also confirmed all this, at first glance, he was a son and brother who had never traveled far.

It's normal not to know these things, he just wanted to tell them about the hard life of the fishermen on the river!

However, the young man next to him is a bit old-fashioned, and he knows this.

"Fisherman! Come here, we want to buy fish."

Gu Chengyu didn't continue this topic, and planned to buy some fresh fish.

The kitchen on the big ship will also sell fish, the price is not cheap, and it is not necessarily fresh.

The perch just came from the net, and it was still alive and kicking!
The shrimp head has just pulled all the fish up and is checking the harvest in the fishing net.

The corners of his mouth widened when he saw two fat bass inside.

Seeing someone waving on the big boat, the fisherman on the opposite side hurriedly greeted Xiatou, "Hurry up, Xiatou! The nobleman wants to buy your fish."

The uncle was very envious. There were often wealthy people on the big boat who bought fresh fish from fishermen like them.

If you meet a generous one, you don't care about the price of the fish at all, and you will be rewarded with a lot of silver.

But there are also those who are stingy, and they have to worry about buying a fish, which is cheaper than the price in the market.

Xiatou glanced at the big boat in front of him on the right, there were several people standing there, and one of them was a nobleman in luxurious clothes waving to him.

Xiatou didn't hesitate, such young masters are not short of money, as long as they can catch up with the big boat and give all the fish to those young masters, there will be no shortage of money.

Putting down the fishing net in his hand, the shrimp head hurriedly paddled towards the big boat.

Zhu Pang looked at the small fishing boat coming here, and asked with some doubts, "Jinyu wants to buy his fish? But isn't there fish for sale on this big boat?"

Gu Chengyu smiled, "There should be perch in the fish he caught just now. The perch tastes very delicious. You will know it after you taste it. It may not be sold on the big boat, it all depends on luck."

The small fishing boat of the shrimp head was actually not far from the big boat, and it caught up with the big boat after a while.

Of course, this is also related to the fast paddling of the shrimp head.

When the boat approached, Gu Chengyu took a look at the shrimp head, and found that although the shrimp was thin, the muscles on his arms were strong.

This should be caused by rowing and netting all year round.Doing such heavy work puts muscles in the arms, so it's no wonder the boat goes fast.

Xiatou didn't stop paddling, because the big boat was still moving forward, and he had to keep the shortest distance between him and the big boat.

Gu Chengyu glanced at such a small fishing boat, it was really small, there was a wooden barrel on the fishing boat, Gu Chengyu guessed it should be for fish.

In addition, the fish on the fishing net were not cleaned up, and the shrimp heads came over in a hurry, and there was no time to clean them up.

"A few young masters want to buy fish?"

Xiatou looked up and found that standing at the front was a young man with extraordinary looks and clothes.

He smiled shyly at Gu Chengyu and Zhu Pang, knowing that they were the customers who waved just now.

"Brother! How do you sell this perch?" Gu Chengyu saw two large perch in the other party's barrel at a glance.

"Master, do you want to buy sea bass? You must also know that the meat of sea bass is tender and has few thorns. You can just give the money as you see it."

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised that Xiatou was so direct, but he figured it out right away.

A fisherman like Xiatou, who has been going to and from the river all the year round, has seen more and more guests of all kinds.

Although it is unavoidable to be a little uncomfortable in the face of people who are dressed in rich and noble clothes, they have also practiced a word of mouth.

Zhu Pang was amused when he heard it, and this kid was really serious, so he immediately became playful.

"Look at it? If I give you a penny, you'll sell it too?" Zhu Pang asked with a grin.

Xiatou couldn't help but chuckled, "You are the young master of a wealthy family, how can you give me a penny? You can reward more than one penny to any servant!"

Gu Chengyu was also amused by Zhu Pang, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the shrimp head struggling to shake the oar, and then he pulled Zhu Pang next to him.

The other party still wants to fish, so they should not waste the other party's time.

"You bring both bass here!"

Gu Chengyu was about to dig through his purse, but Zhu Pang had already dropped a silver ingot, and it landed at Xiatou's feet.

This made the head of the shrimp so happy that he kept shouting thank you, young master.

Gu Chengyu shook his head and laughed, ten taels of silver is more than enough to buy two perch, and two taels is too much.

But he didn't stop him. Fishing is not easy, and people come and go in the wind and rain. It's rare for them to buy it once, so there's no need to worry about it.

He didn't intend to give less at first, and it was about ten taels.

Shrimp head happily threw the two perch onto the deck, and Zhu Pang had asked Tuanzi to pick them up.

Gu Chengyu saw that there were some crucian carp and some small miscellaneous fish on the boat, but the small miscellaneous fish were actually rare and delicious.

I planned to buy some more, but who would have thought that the shrimp heads had already started to be thrown on the boat.

"Young masters are generous, the miscellaneous fish and crucian carp here are also delicious! This is a gift from the boy."

Gu Chengyu smiled, this son can do business.

Looking at the crucian carp on the deck, there are two very big ones, and there are more other small miscellaneous fish.

He threw down another two taels of silver. This was not money for fish, but an admiration for the simple qualities of a young man.

Xiatou saw that Gu Chengyu gave another two taels, and quickly wanted to return the money, but seeing Gu Chengyu waved his hand, he had already started to walk in.

Knowing that he was not bad at this point, he was still throwing fish into the boat while rowing.

When Tuanzi saw so many fish, he shouted that enough is enough, when will these little fish be picked up?
Seeing this, Ming Yan, who had left the room, hurried forward to help.

Two days passed in a flash, and Gu Chengyu finally stepped on the pier of Jingyuan Mansion, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Zhu Pang is very fresh, "Jinyu! There is no difference between this place and the pier in the capital! The capital is bigger than this!"

Gu Chengyu didn't answer Zhu Pang's words, but said to Tuanzi and the others: "Be careful with your luggage, there are a lot of thieves here."

This time, because Zhu Pang was with us, there were more things than the previous two visits.

Most of them are special products, and they are intended to be given to the people who have made good friends.

Zhu Pang's stuff is more than Gu Chengyu's, and it's all Tian's tidying up.
