fishing the heavens

Chapter 5 Shocked!

"what!"

A scream resounded in the old house, and those who heard it shivered.

Beifeng stood up suddenly, breathing in fresh air with big gulps.

"It turned out to be a dream."

Looking around, the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated, Beifeng murmured to himself.

I picked up my phone and checked the time. It was already eight o'clock in the morning. I went to the well to fetch a bucket of water and began to wash.

"By the way, where is the golden blood eel caught last night? I don't know if it ran away?"

Beifeng slapped his forehead and hurried to the kitchen.

After catching the golden blood eel last night, I was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the fishing system in the sky, and then was chased by the big rooster all over the yard. The golden blood eel had long since been forgotten to Java.

"You haven't run yet?"

Bai Feng was a little surprised looking at the motionless golden blood eel in a basin of water.

The water basin is not high, and the golden blood eel can run out as long as it struggles lightly, but I don't know if it was because of too much energy consumption yesterday, so it didn't run.

"It's fine if you don't run away. It just so happens that today is a market. It's better to sell such a precious thing early, lest you die in your own hands."

Beifeng thought about it, then put the golden blood eel in a basin and went out.

The morning sun was not hot, but it felt warm when it shone on the body. The north wind walked towards the main street of the village unhurriedly.

In the past, the village market was located in a town, but since Qingling Mountain was developed, the market has been moved to the foot of Qingling Mountain.

And now it mainly sells local products to tourists. Many people come in small groups and drive a car. It is not surprising that they bring a few authentic native chickens when they go back.

It is said that it is a market, but it is actually just a large open space. There is no building, so a layer of adhesive tape is directly spread on the open space, and then the items for sale are placed on it.

At a glance, there were a lot of people. Because the north wind came late, many good places were taken up by those who came early, and the north wind could only put down the basin containing the golden blood eel in a remote place.

Although Baifeng got up very early, others got up earlier. For a good place, they came here at five or six o'clock. When the goods and goods were arranged, people came.

Beifeng put down the golden blood eel, took out a newspaper and spread it on the floor, sat down on it, and started playing with his phone.

"I'll go! Come and have a look, what a big eel!"

A man wearing a peaked cap greeted his companions.

"How big is it? Let me see."

Hearing this, a fat man also ran over in a hurry.

"Can an eel grow to such a big size? Isn't it the size of a thumb? Isn't it about to become fine?"

Fatty exclaimed.

Beifeng smiled slightly when he heard the words, but did not speak.

To be honest, this golden blood eel is not the biggest eel that Beifeng has ever seen. When Beifeng was eleven or twelve years old, a mute in the village caught an eel weighing eight catties!

"You can show off such a big eel when you buy it back. Boss, how much is the eel?"

Fatty's eyes are shining, such a big eel looks very good, and it is also good to buy and raise.

"Fatty man, what are you two doing running so fast? You two disappeared when you turned around."

A fierce female voice came, and two girls in sportswear walked up to the fat man.

"Hey, isn't this a strange thing to see?"

The fat man looked embarrassed, and scratched the back of his head with his chubby hands.

"That's it?"

Li Yuanyao was a little disappointed looking at the golden blood eel in the basin, and it was because girls never liked these snake-like things.

"Boss, haven't you said how much money?"

The fat man turned his head and asked Beifeng.

"Price is [-] yuan!"

Beifeng didn't raise his head, and played the game seriously.

"What? Fifty thousand? Are you crazy about money? How dare you ask for fifty thousand for a broken eel?!"

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, the fat man exploded in an instant, shouting excitedly.

The three people who were walking with Fatty were also surprised.

Originally, Lin Pingxia thought that the folk customs here were simple and honest, but he didn't expect that they were all the same.

"You don't have to buy it, but don't disturb my business here."

Beifeng frowned, looked away from the phone, and calmly looked at the fat man and said.

"You think it's made of gold? Fifty thousand?! Selling it to me for 500 yuan, I think it's too expensive."

The fat man laughed angrily, pointed at the golden blood eel in the basin and said disdainfully.

"Are you finished? You can go after you finish."

Beifeng is still like that, the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, if Beifeng doesn't believe it, there is no one who knows the goods.

"You want to sell it for 5 yuan, right? Then I'll help you promote it and see who buys it!"

"Come on, come on, everyone, come and have a look, an eel here dares to sell for 5 yuan, it's obviously a liar!"

Fatty was so angry that he didn't wait for Beifeng to speak, he yelled loudly.

"What? An eel sells for 5 yuan? Can you live forever if you eat it?"

"Come on, let's go over and have a look, this kind of black sheep can't stay."

The effect of this voice was unexpected, and instantly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

"Look, this is an eel worth 5 yuan. I have learned a lot today, and I can boast that I have seen a 5 yuan eel when chatting with friends in the future, haha!"

The fat man looked around for a week, with a smug expression on his face.

"This kind of person is crazy about money!"

The crowd of onlookers pointed at Beifeng.

"Old Liu, I don't think this eel looks right, it looks like..."

"Golden Blood Eel!"

Two local middle-aged people were also among the onlookers. They wanted to see who was here to ruin the reputation of their village, but they were attracted by the eels in the pot.

Nanming's tone was still a little uncertain, but Liu Changgui made a firm conclusion!

"Unexpectedly, there would be a day when I saw the golden blood eel. I thought this group had become extinct."

Liu Changgui's tone was a little emotional.

"Yeah, if it's a golden blood eel, 5 yuan isn't expensive at all for such a big one."

Nan Ming also nodded.

Both of them have experienced that era, it was like picking up money, they never found it so easy to make money.

Especially more than ten years ago, the last golden blood eel sold for a high price of more than 8000!

You must know that the 8000 yuan at that time was much more valuable than the [-] yuan now, and the golden blood eel in the pot now weighs at least a catty!

"Everyone, it's not that we're slaughtering customers, but this golden blood eel is really worth the price."

Liu Changgui almost walked to the middle, opened his mouth to explain, and at the same time carefully looked at the eel in the basin, as if looking at a rare treasure.

"Cut, if you say it's not, then it's not? What about the golden blood eel?"

A voice questioned from the crowd of onlookers.

"That's right, I've grown up so much, I've never heard of eels being so expensive!"

Another voice also questioned.

"Everyone, this is a special product of our village. It was a royal tribute during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Unfortunately, it has not been seen for more than ten years."

Nanming also stepped forward and said.

"Golden Blood Eel?!"

A middle-aged man stopped immediately when he heard these four words, and walked towards the crowd.
