Eternal Life: I'm Grinding Experience in the Patrol Division
Chapter 102 Chalcedony
"I'll pay 220 copper coins per pound." Another vendor only took a few glances at the appearance of the fish and immediately offered a higher price.
The vendor had looked unhappy before, but he stopped bidding.
It was unpleasant to be interfered with, but business must be profitable, and one cannot spend money recklessly on impulse.
The price exceeded his psychological expectations, so it was not worth bidding for this silver horn fish.
"I'll pay eight silver coins, one price." Seeing that no one was bidding again, Song Changming spoke directly.
The vendor, who thought he was sure to win, turned his head and glared at the crowd.
Just as he was about to curse a few words, he saw Song Changming's official uniform. His expression was in place, and the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back, not daring to say a word.
"Congratulations, sir." He laughed dryly and cupped his hands.
"Thank you for giving up." Song Changming nodded.
Eight silver coins were a huge premium for this silver-horned fish, which was about 270 copper coins per pound.
Song Changming offered a price because he was too lazy to argue with others and waste time. He didn't need the extra copper coins anyway.
He was mainly curious and wanted to taste the silver-horned fish.
If the fish meat was really helpful for his body refining, he would definitely send people to purchase it here for a long time in the future.
"Package this silver-horned fish later and take it to the dock and hand it over to the patrolman Liang Zhaolong." Song Changming gave eight silver coins and said.
"Okay, sir, don't worry, I will seal it for you and send it." The stall owner took the money and smiled.
The high price of eight silver coins was definitely beyond his expectations, and he was so happy that he couldn't wait.
Song Changming continued to walk around and saw that the aquatic fish with strange blood was indeed quite rare, with only a few scattered ones.
Not only fish, but also other species, their appearances are easy to identify. The unusual species basically have strange blood.
"If you still want it, wait until the evening, when the fishermen who went out to sea come back, there will be more treasures in the fish market." A stall owner saw Song Changming purchasing strange blood seafood and couldn't help reminding him.
"Okay." Song Changming nodded.
Indeed, it was a little early now. Most of the fishermen who went out to sea had not returned yet, and there were not many treasures in the fish market.
Seeing this, Song Changming simply returned to the dock and asked Liang Zhaolong to light a fire. He steamed and grilled the few strange blood seafood he had just bought and tasted them with his patrol guards.
After eating the fish, Song Changming felt a warm sensation in his stomach, as if he had drunk a bowl of hot wine, which was very comfortable.
Then, this heat spread to his whole body, making his heart beat faster and sweating.
Liang Zhaolong, who was standing next to him, also had his eyes light up after eating it, and shouted that it was a good thing.
The rumors are true. These treasures with strange blood do have a certain beneficial effect on the body training of warriors.
They are not even worse than some training soups and medicines!
And they taste delicious, which is something that soups and medicines cannot compare to.
This kind of meat is expensive for a reason.
Song Changming didn't think much about it before, but now as his family is getting richer, he can eat strange blood meat every day.
Food supplements plus medicine supplements can further improve his training efficiency.
The main thing is to fill up the training materials.
In the afternoon, the spoils of war have been counted.
Song Changming looked over the list, and the total value was as high as more than 11,000 silver coins!
This amount is quite a lot, mainly because a batch of tail goods left by the Dinghai Sea Gang have not been dealt with yet.
Of course, Song Changming would not be naive to think that this amount is all. This is just a list of spoils that should be handed over to the county governor's office.
Song Changming did not pay much attention to this, just handed it over to Zhuang Ren.
Compared with the spoils, he was more interested in the port fishing market at dusk.
At this time, the bustle here is even more lively than the most prosperous street in the county.
A large number of merchants from various counties in Donglai County, as well as some foreign caravans, flocked here.
When local fishermen return from the sea, their earnings are basically taken away by these people, which has formed a long-term industrial chain.
Song Changming brought Liang Zhaolong and several patrol guards to manage the order of the fishing market while watching the fishermen's harvest today.
It must be said that there are indeed a lot more exotic blood seafood in the evening, as well as many types of marine treasures and even cracked ores.
Even if Song Changming did not buy anything, he gained a lot of knowledge here.
"I still have to go out and see the world more. It is narrow to stick to one place after all." Song Changming shook his head secretly.
"Bet on marrow, bet on marrow, all fresh goods just dug today!"
Song Changming looked over and saw two fishermen shouting loudly, with several baskets of shells on the ground.
The shells were snow-white, like jade, with many beautiful veins on them, each tightly closed and tightly fitted.
"What does bet on marrow mean?" Song Changming asked as he looked at the shells.
"My lord, these are white jade shells from the sea, which will breed chalcedony. Here, this is it."
As the fisherman spoke, he took out a piece of translucent gelatinous substance about the thickness of a little finger from a basin beside him and handed it to Song Changming.
The gelatinous substance felt slightly slippery when pinched, and if you look closely, you can see that there are still fine particles of impurities in it.
"This chalcedony is the essence of the entire white jade shell, which can be eaten raw or cooked. Poor-quality chalcedony is of little use except for filling the stomach, and is not worth much.
And good quality chalcedony is a treasure. It is said that eating it can have the magical effect of cleansing the marrow, tempering the body, and reborn. It is not a problem to buy a high-quality chalcedony and sell it for dozens or hundreds of silver!
There were even fishermen here who dug up a piece of red chalcedony before, and sold it to the Dinghai Gang for thousands of silver. They became rich and moved to the county town! "
The fisherman said with an envious expression.
"Then the Dinghaihai Gang talks about such rules? Are you willing to pay for such a treasure?" Liang Zhaolong on the side heard this with doubt.
The fisherman nodded and said: "A big gang like them attaches great importance to reputation and rules in the world. If they want to rob us hard, their gang's business will not be able to do well in the future."
In fact, compared to the well-behaved Dingshui Gang, they were more afraid of the jealous kid nearby after catching good things.
Thefts and robberies are actually mostly committed by people around you.
Therefore, the local fishermen hope that anyone can come, whether it is the Dingshui Gang or the government, as long as they can control the security here.
"Is it really as good as you say?" Song Changming raised his eyebrows and asked looking at the translucent chalcedony in his hand.
He was referring to the effects of chalcedony that the fishermen had just mentioned.
"This." The fisherman scratched his head and laughed dryly: "The high-quality chalcedony is indeed at this market price. As for the actual effect after eating it, is it like this? I have never eaten it. Is it exaggerated? Xiaomin I don’t know either”
"Yeah." Song Changming didn't embarrass the fisherman and looked at the other chalcedony in his basin.
Without exception, they are all translucent and gelatinous, and they are all inferior, low-quality chalcedony.
Come to think of it, the probability of getting a high-quality chalcedony is extremely low, especially the highest quality red chalcedony. There is no difference between getting a high-quality chalcedony.
Therefore, these fishermen also came up with some tricks. Instead of using the white jade shells they caught, they asked other passing merchants to spend their own money to buy the white jade shells.
If you are lucky enough to gamble on a piece of high-quality chalcedony, you will make a profit.
And if they are all of low quality, you will naturally lose money.
"It's interesting." Song Changming found it interesting, so he stood and watched for a while.
There were already people spending money to open shells before he arrived.
Some shells have nothing inside, while others will squeeze out a translucent gel like the one in his hand.
If it can produce chalcedony, at least this white jade shell can be regarded as a return of money. If nothing is produced, it is a pure loss of money.
After opening nearly a hundred white jade shells, this person suddenly opened a different chalcedony.
This chalcedony is still translucent and gelatinous overall, but there is a faint yellowish color in the center, like a yellow ribbon floating inside.
"Hey, you're lucky. This one is of high quality." The fisherman said with a smile.
"Is this yellow chalcedony?" Liang Zhaolong asked.
The fisherman shook his head and said: "It's not quite yellow chalcedony yet. It's just the beginning of the transformation to yellow chalcedony. It has a little effect of topaz. A piece like this can be sold for a lot of money."
With that said, the fisherman asked the man who gambled on the chalcedony if he should keep the piece of chalcedony for himself or sell it back to him.
"I don't practice martial arts either. They gave me shells at a discounted price." The man was obviously tempted and wanted to continue.
"I want this piece of chalcedony." Song Changming said, throwing a silver coin to the fisherman.
"Okay, if you want to try the effect, you can eat it raw. The taste of this chalcedony is quite good." The fisherman said quickly, not daring to ask for more.
Song Changming glanced at it and put the yellowed chalcedony into his mouth.
It has a bit of salty taste in the mouth, and it feels like chewing the flesh and bones. After biting open, it has a bit of sweetness.
It's really not bad in terms of taste and texture.
After taking this piece of chalcedony, he felt a numbness all over his body after a while.
This feeling comes and goes quickly.
When he tried to open the panel, he suddenly discovered that his Monkey Skill and martial arts experience points had increased a little for nothing!
If he was not mistaken, then this chalcedony is indeed useful, and its use for him is very direct. Just like the wild ginseng, eating it can immediately increase martial arts experience!
