Becoming a God Starting from a Water Monkey
Chapter 329: Driving the Water
Lao Song's head pressed against the bow of the boat, causing waves to rise. The sampan swayed left and right, making several young people behind him unsteady.
Li Libo crossed his arms and said, "You are so impressive. We also have Baoyu in Pingyang County. In just one Shangrao port, there are always one or two in half a month!"
"Hey, young man, treasure fish are sorted into good ones and bad ones."
Lao Songtou didn't want to argue with the ignorant Li Libo. Who asked him to be from Liangqu?
"According to my experience, the treasure fish in your town costs one tael of silver per kilogram of meat, which is two taels of silver. The red arowana is different. One fish costs at least several thousand taels!"
"A fish? Old man, are you bluffing me?"
Li Libo was shocked.
The "Fish Photo Record" posted in the fishing pen shows that the treasure fish can hold dozens of taels of silver per kilogram of meat. One fish is only a few hundred taels. Unless it is really big and can reach thousands, then it is not worth thousands.
Liang Qu was also surprised: "There are really several thousand taels?"
"It's true!" Lao Songtou vowed, "The last time the Red Arowana appeared, I remember it was when Qiu Gong Dike was built. It was so popular that the people who caught the fish presented it to Qiu Gong and got big rewards!
I was young at the time, so I don’t remember exactly how much silver there was. Mr. Qian should know, but I guarantee it was at least two to three thousand taels!
Hey, don’t say that much, adults, hurry up and take a look. We blocked the red dragon fish in the rice field, but no one dared to catch it, for fear of scratching the scales, fish and other things, and ruining the good thing. "
"Let's go and have a look."
Liang Qu was very curious about the thousands of taels of giant treasure fish, so he turned the boat around and followed Lao Songtou to a rice field on the outskirts of Ganquan Town.
On the way, Old Songtou babbled: "The red arowana was found by two young men who were releasing water into the rice fields.
At that time, the red arowana was motionless in the field and was as red as fire. The two of them felt something strange and immediately told the news to our gang.
The gang members came to me again and told me that I guessed it was a giant treasure fish, but I didn’t expect it to be so big, so I immediately sent people to surround half an acre of paddy field.
More than a dozen people were pumping water and piling up the bank to trap it inside. I guessed that the flood broke out and rushed all the way from the Heishui River to Ganquan Town.
According to me, it is a God-given fate. Your Excellency is here, and the Red Arowana is also here. Qingzhuang, who asked Your Excellency to arrange the release of the water, discovered it. What else is it but fate? "
Li Libo felt disdainful.
"What a terrible old man who knows how to flatter people..."
After a while, Liang Qu was riding a boat on the flood waves and saw a high-lying field.
There were sampans surrounding the field ridges, and all the young men on board craned their necks to look into the rice fields.
Old Songtou shouted loudly.
"Master Liang is here, Master Liang is here! Give way, give way to everyone."
The sampans blocking the road moved aside to make way for the road.
As Liang Qu drove by, he could hear the people beside him shouting.
"Master Liang, come and see if it's the red arowana that Master Song mentioned. I think it looks weird."
"Is it true or not? If Master Liang is not a sage, who is? There are always floods in Huazhu County, and when there are floods, there will be great epidemics. Only this year, Master Liang came, and for the first time, he didn't hear about the epidemic!"
"Yes, that's the truth!"
"Spreading lies!" Liang Qu handed over to everyone, "There are no wise men. Since I arrived in Huazhu County the day before yesterday, I have personally saved more people than any of you. It's all thanks to you!"
After saying this, Liang Qu climbed onto the field ridge that was as tall as a person.
The rice in the field is about to ear, and it is so densely planted that it is hard to see how lush and green it is, except for a glimpse of dazzling red.
Liang Qu rolled up his trouser legs and climbed over the ridge into the paddy field.
The cold, wet mud wrapped around the soles of his feet and calves. Liang Qu stepped on the soft mud and moved closer to the center of the paddy field.
The young and strong people onlookers didn't dare to say a word and held their breath waiting for the result.
Liangqu gathered the seedlings and spread them to both sides. The rice leaves were swaying, and a bright red arowana suddenly appeared!
Deep crimson flows on the scales, and their shape is quite similar to Chishan, only thinner and translucent.
The two long whiskers on the lips are curved, strong, smooth, straight and strong, revealing a touch of majesty and are definitely not ordinary fish whiskers.
The overall image is worthy of the name red arowana, and is almost the same model as the golden arowana.
The red arowana's muscles rippled as the stranger approached, its pupils turned, and it jumped hard, trying to burrow into the mud.
Liang Qu had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed the tail of the fish and pulled out the whole red dragon fish from the mud. He pressed it on his knees and used the blue wolf to cut a small incision across the belly of the fish. He then squeezed it with his index finger and thumb, and the fish flesh oozed bright red.
Watching Qingzhuang swallow his saliva, he felt a strong attraction from the red arowana, no less than seeing white rice and soy meat after starving for three days!
Liang Qu compared it carefully and found that the red arowana was even more attractive than the golden gong fish that the toad had given him!
So fierce?
Liang Qu didn't know if the legend told by Old Songtou was true, but a very high-quality giant treasure fish didn't escape!
"Hey, caught it, caught it! It's so greedy."
"I heard that the treasure fish is stronger than ordinary fish. It looks small but is stronger than an ox. Mr. Liang caught it as soon as he took action!"
"Hey, it's no problem for a Galloping Horse Warrior to pull dozens of horses. What's the point of being stronger than an ox?"
"Why is it only over a foot? I see that all the water monsters are ten feet long."
"Baoyu is medicine, not a spirit!" Lao Songtou shouted, "How can medicine and spirit be the same? Trees can grow ten feet long. Have you ever seen a ten-foot-long ginseng? A five-hundred-year-old ginseng is not as big as your forearm!"
The red color gradually plumps up and becomes a drop that slides off the fish scales and drips onto the paddy fields along the fish's tentacles.
A faint red faded out of the mud puddle, and the leeches hidden in the mud field were restless, emerging from the soil one after another, stretching their bodies and crawling towards the puddle dripping with blood.
Liang Qu picked up the fish tail, poured water to wash off the mud on the red arowana, and dug it out of the field.
The young men and women around him swarmed up and cheered Liang Guangchang.
Liang Qu naturally knew what everyone meant and looked around: "Who were the first two people to discover the red arowana?"
"Sir, it's us!"
"It's me, my lord!"
Two young men stood out from the crowd, looking expectant.
Liang Qu took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, counted five of them according to their denominations, and handed them to the two of them: "Take them."
Then he counted out eight small denominations and stuffed them into Old Song's head: "Take two for yourself, and go to the bank to cash out the rest and give them one point for everyone to count as hard work."
Qing Zhuang burst into cheers when he saw the denomination on the bank note.
Five pieces make one thousand taels!
Enough for them to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives!
Old Songtou smiled happily.
"Put it away, lest two bandits pop up while walking in the future."
"Yeah."
"Don't worry, everyone, as long as the fleet passes through a bank that can exchange it, I will definitely share the profits with everyone!"
"Okay, okay!"
"You two have to treat me to a drink!"
"Eat, eat, eat! Open up and eat!"
Leaving everyone busy, Liang Qu hurriedly returned to the ship.
The golden gong fish contributes nearly 5,000 points of water essence. At present, the red arowana is more attractive than the golden gong fish. It will only be more, not less!
Zetao has a chance of getting more than half of it!
Liang Qu took Baoyu back to the cabin, sent someone to deliver a big pot, and stewed the red arowana on the spot.
Sprinkle with salt and let the rich aroma spread.
"Let me give it a try."
The bones and internal organs are removed, and all the fish meat is eaten. The boiling heat pours into the limbs and bones. The feeling is wonderful, no less than soaking in a 42-degree hot spring on the top of a snow-capped mountain.
【Mizusawa Essence +7384】
It was empty, with only a wisp of red air and misty Zeding gathering a surging blue light.
Liang Qu didn't hesitate and focused on the fusion degree.
Half an hour later.
[Ze Tao Ze Ling fuses 50%, and realizes the innate skill - catching water. 】
[50% fusion of Zetao Zeling, talent and skill strength increased, Mizusawa affinity increased]
[Ze Tao Ze Ling is fused by 50%, and the range of perception is increased. 】
