"Ziyu, Qian Dong, are you going to Fisherman's Wharf tonight to see the river lanterns?" Zhao Xing asked the two little brothers when they were leaving work.

"I won't go." Qian Dong shook his head, "The River Lantern Festival is really not interesting. Not many young ladies don't talk about it. It's scary. What's the point? It's far inferior to the Grass Fighting Festival and the Spring Society."

"You know how to look at girls." Zhao Xing smiled and patted him, then turned to look at Chen Ziyu, "What about you?"

"I will go, but I may not be able to go with my brother." Chen Ziyu said, "I want to sell lotus lanterns with my father."

The river lanterns of the River Lantern Festival, also called lotus lanterns, are made of lotus leaves, clay, gouache, cloth, drawing paper and needlework.

After the lamp is made, the names of the deceased relatives will be written on the outer surface of the lamp, and a candle will be placed in the center.

Of course, the lanterns are also used to pray for the living, not just to pay homage to the souls of the dead.

Although there are many people at this festival, the atmosphere is solemn and solemn. There is nothing fun to do. At most, you can eat something and enjoy the scenery.

When Zhao Xing saw that the two of them weren't going, he didn't force it. After all, he wasn't going there just for fun.

He wanted to see if he could make a wave of 'ghost money'.

In the Qi Luck Dynasty system, the Five Elements Qi Luck theory prevails, and there are professions such as warlocks, divination masters, and Feng Shui masters.

However, after Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty "collected the fortune of the world", he strengthened the rule of the fortune of the country and gave the above three professions a blow. They were all summarized in the tool of "temple", and the Yin God performed the fortune on his behalf, increasing fortune and wealth. .

In the previous life, these professions were once reduced to "sub-professions" in Zhao Xing's eyes, because Taizu's knife directly cut into the "main artery".

In the Qi Luck Dynasty version, these three professions are proper sewers, reduced to the likes of ‘charlatans’, and can only survive until the Qi Luck Dynasty collapses, and then rise again.

But this does not prevent Zhao Xing from making a little fortune.

"Tiangan looks like it means seven kills, but Nayin looks like it means wealth."

"If Ding Mao accepts sound fire, the five elements of the heavenly stem belong to wood. Among the four stems, Yi Geng is found, which is the gold ghost with the head of the stem. Ding Mao accepts sound fire, but it can make Yi Geng gold, so it is called ghost wealth."

"Although there is no big benefit from making money from ghosts, there is no loss at all. Because this is when the Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, and no ghosts or wild ghosts can cause trouble." Zhao Xing glanced at the evil calendar, and then slowly walked towards Walk towards Fisherman's Wharf.

He first came to an inn in Fisherman's Wharf. There were many stalls here, and there were already many vendors selling lotus lanterns and incense candles.

Zhao Xing bought one casually, it was just an ordinary item that was not advanced. Then he walked towards the group of people resting next to him.

The group of people were in groups, shirtless and drinking tea together, with hooks, scissors and other objects beside them.

They are a group of "river fishermen."

What is a Laohe person?

The water quality is very good, and those who specialize in fishing for treasures in the water usually have worked as fishermen.

The Thirteenth Canal of Pinghu connects the Canglan River, and East Lake accumulates vitality over the years. As the rivers wash away, many treasures in the water will be born.

First-order and second-order water treasures are not uncommon. One piece can feed you for half a year. What if you catch a third-level treasure? Then you can directly go ashore and buy a house and become a renter!

In addition, there are constant ships passing by, and tourists and merchant ships often ask people to salvage valuable objects if they drop them, so this group of "river fishermen" has been born.

Regardless of how dirty and undignified he is, he earns much more than a farm clerk like Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing walked to the stall, cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, can you take over the work?"

The middle-aged man who looked like a foreman nodded and said: "I don't accept free work, I only accept hunting for objects and treasures. If you want to try your luck, sir, we have long-term fishing, short-term fishing, and one-shot trading here."

The elite river fishermen do not accept the unlucky waste work of fishing for corpses and bones. They are not willing to make such money.

Zhao Xing nodded and directly stated his needs: "I need to hire a good fisherman. It will start at the end of You hour and end before midnight. It will take about three hours, and there is no limit to the number of times you can enter the water. I will give you two or two and five cents and include tea for midnight. , but whatever I get, it’s all mine, no dividends.”

Three hours is enough. After these three hours, the ghost's wealth will not show up, and it will be difficult to gain anything. In fact, the only real possibility of catching treasure is the 'Dingmao moment' among those three hours.

The foreman saw that Zhao Xing was clear and offered a good price. He nodded and shouted behind him: "Xu Laoba."

"Hey! Here we come!" Not far away, a muscular man was chatting with the young woman setting up the stall, showing off his muscular muscles and making people tremble.

Hearing the elder brother's voice, he immediately touched the other person's hand and ran over in a hurry.

"Brother."

"This young man wants to try his luck. I can fish for a short period of time and give it to someone with a wallet of two or five for three hours. Do you have any problem?" the foreman asked.

"No problem." Xu Laoba bared his teeth and patted his chest at Zhao Xing, "Young master, you can tell by looking at me like this. I, Xu Laoba, can definitely bring you good luck!"

Zhao Xing used the Five Elements Observation to look at this person. He had sufficient lung energy and was two or three times bigger than others. He was indeed a good player. Then he nodded: "That's him."

The foreman took out a piece of engraved bamboo, and then said: "The payment needs to be paid in advance, and an additional deposit of one or two taels is required. If he comes back safely, the deposit will be returned with this thing. If he has an accident, you are not responsible, and this deposit will be treated as your own." of good fortune.”

"Very reasonable." Zhao Xing nodded. Then it was about handing over money with one hand and handing over people with the other.

After taking the voucher, Xu Laoba took the guy and followed Zhao Xing.

"Sir, do you still want to rent a boat? I have an acquaintance who can give you a 10% discount. If there are friends, there is an 80% discount for five people."

Zhao Xing said: "I am alone, so I can just rent a small boat, and I don't need a boat."

Xu Lao Ba was not disappointed, and he could also share some of the commission for the small boat: "So, sir, which lake area in the southeast, northwest, or east is going to? Or the thirteen bay areas? A night-shining pearl was dug up in the West Lake area yesterday, and I think I can try my luck there."

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "Don't worry, just take a stroll."

Xu Lao Ba saw this and said no more. It seems that this owner has a plan in mind. He also hopes that Zhao Xing will take more strolls and feel more relaxed if he goes into the water less.

It gets dark later in the beginning of summer, and it is not until the end of the evening that it is completely dark.

At this time, standing on the high point of the Fisherman's Wharf, you can see lotus lanterns floating in the river everywhere, dotted and connected into a piece.

The commercial street is still popular, but it is mainly selling food and drinks or lotus lanterns, and the other entertainment projects are much less than other festivals.

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing's eyes suddenly fell on a familiar figure. "The guard of the Caoxi Zhenjun Temple? There are quite a few people around him, they seem to be the officials of the temple. I wonder what their assessment content is?"

It was still early for him to wait, and he was here to watch the fun, so he immediately moved closer and listened.

The vital energy filled his ears, and soon the only sound on the noisy street was the guard of the temple.
