Chapter 95 Evolution time!
Chen Qingjiang hugged the big carp and was grinning with joy.
The carp looked no different from other carp, with two short whiskers at the corners of its mouth, but its back was covered with a green glow, which appeared green at first glance, but was colorful when viewed carefully in the sun.
Its size is astonishingly large, almost half the size of an adult's body, and weighs at least 15 kilograms!
"Green-backed dragon carp!"
Liang Qu's eyes popped out.
This fish is more expensive than the ox-horn pomfret which weighs one catty and two ounces. One catty of meat costs three ounces of silver, and the fish in front of me costs at least forty-five ounces!
The people gathered inside heard a word they had never heard before, and turned to look, only to find that it was Liang Qu leaning outside, and quickly made way.
Liang Qu's appearance was also beyond Chen Qingjiang's expectation. He shouted excitedly, "A Shui! Why are you here? You are a martial artist now. Please help me check if this big carp is a treasure fish?"
Liang Qu took off his coat, put it on Chen Qingjiang, and said with certainty: "It is a precious fish, a green-backed dragon carp, which is very rare. One pound of meat can be worth three taels of silver. Yours is worth at least forty or fifty taels!"
"Strange, forty or fifty taels? Isn't that enough for me to earn in my lifetime?"
"It's more expensive than the ox-horned pomfret that Ah Shui caught last time?"
The onlookers were so excited when they heard this that they could only earn eleven or twelve taels of silver in a year without eating, drinking or paying taxes.
Is one precious fish now worth five or six years of hard work?
"Forty or fifty taels?"
Chen Qingjiang was so shocked that he couldn't close his eyes. His face turned even redder. It was hard to tell whether it was because of the cold or excitement. It was even more exaggerated than being drunk.
"Alright, alright, go away!" Liang Qu waved his hand to disperse the crowd, asking everyone to move away. "We've fallen into the water, we need to go back and change clothes quickly, and don't block the road!"
When Chen Qingjiang heard Liang Qu say he had a cold, he seemed to just react and started to shiver all over.
When the people around heard Liang Qu's words, they dared not disobey and quickly made way for him.
They watched Liang Qu take Chen Qingjiang away with envy in their eyes, and gathered together again to discuss the matter.
"The Chen family is soaring to the sky!"
"Yes, Ah Shui became a martial artist, and Chen Qingjiang's family's life became better. Damn, I heard Ah Shui gave some bait, and when he spread it, he could catch a lot of fish in winter. He could earn four or five coins a day. That's silver, not copper coins! This time he even caught such a big precious fish."
"Strange, there are so many?"
"Yes, of course not. I saw it with my own eyes last time. But when he left, I went to cast the net again, but there was nothing. It's all because of the bait!"
"What kind of bait is this? Can we go get some?"
"The bait was prepared by Ah Shui's master. Chen Qingjiang himself didn't even have the recipe. He just used it every day. Do you dare to ask for it? Be careful that Master Liang will cut you!"
"What is this called? What is chicken and dog?"
"What chickens and dogs? If one person succeeds, all the chickens and dogs will be blessed!"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. Speaking of this, I think of Liang Guangtian. It's really hilarious. He wanted to come to collect the debt before, but was beaten out by Chen Li Lao with a stick."
"Hahaha, I saw it, he looks like a dog!"
"Dog, dog, dog, dog your mother's dog!"
Liang Guangtian, who was peeking at the excitement in the alley, was so angry that he threw his sleeves away, cursed loudly, and disappeared into the alley.
Liang Qu helped Chen Qingjiang home, broke the ice on the surface of the water tank in the yard, put the precious fish in, and called sister-in-law A Di to come out.
A Di rushed over when she heard the noise, and was shocked to see Chen Qingjiang with a red face and trembling all over, so she asked hurriedly what was going on.
"Uncle Chen saw a precious fish when he was out on the boat today. He risked his life by jumping into the water to catch it. The fish came up, but his life was gone. Auntie Di, please help my uncle change his clothes quickly. Then boil some hot water and wet a towel to apply to his skin. Be careful of catching a cold."
"Oh ok."
Upon hearing this, A-Di quickly took Chen Qingjiang and helped him into the house, busy as a whim.
When Liang Qu came out again, he found Shunzi and his little Kui, who had just learned to walk, lying beside the water tank, staring at the green-backed dragon carp in a trance. Liang Qu smiled knowingly, children are patient, they can stare at anything for a whole day.
"Watch carefully, don't let anyone come and take it away. Shout if anything happens."
Shunzi nodded solemnly.
Liang Qu patted his head, went out to the village clinic to get a pack of medicine, and brought it back for A Di to boil it.
Falling into water in winter is no small matter. Chen Qingjiang looks full of energy, which is entirely supported by the energy in his heart.
After the medicine was boiled and he changed his clothes, Chen Qingjiang's face looked better. He said with great joy, "Ah Shui, this precious fish is just right for us to have half each."
"How can that be possible? This fish was not caught with my bait. It should be yours, Uncle Chen."
Chen Qingjiang saw the green-backed dragon carp on his way back, and he caught it himself. Liang Qu had nothing to do with it, so it should not be divided equally.
However, Chen Qingjiang was very persistent and insisted that the fish came because of the scent of the bait.
What kind of bait is this? Just yellow mud.
The treasure fish can be attracted by the yellow mud. If it has the time, it can just go to the bottom of the river and chew on the mud.
Liang Qu's mouth twitched. He couldn't point it out to her directly, so he could only acquiesce.
Seeing that Liang Qu agreed, Chen Qingjiang asked A Di to take out the big scale at home and weigh it briefly. It was jin!
One catty and three taels of silver, that's fifty taels and four cents!
A-Di was so frightened that she couldn't even hold it steady.
Over the past half month, Chen Qingjiang did earn a lot of money every day, but the impact was nothing compared to the sudden receipt of dozens of taels of silver.
Liang Qu felt in his bosom and took out thirty taels of silver and placed them on the table.
"Uncle Chen, to be honest, the precious fish is very useful to me right now. I'll give you the silver and take the fish directly."
"It's much more. It must be thirty taels! We agreed to split it fifty-fifty."
"It's not much. We split it equally. Uncle Chen really went into the water to catch the fish. He suffered so much, so he deserves more. Okay, that's it. I'm in a hurry to use it. Let's go."
After saying this, Liang Qu hurried away carrying the green-backed dragon carp, leaving Chen Qingjiang helpless.
"A Shui feels sorry for you, why are you unhappy?" A Di put the silver away and pouted.
"What do you know? Where's the clothes Shui was wearing just now? Go wash them quickly, hang them up to dry and return them to the owner later! Wash them thoroughly so that they don't have any smell."
"Do I need you to tell me? It's already been soaked in water. Drink the medicine quickly so I can have my hands free."
"Pfft, this is too bitter."
Liang Qu carried the big fish and returned to the boat amid everyone's surprised gazes.
In the uninhabited waters, Liang Qu summoned three beasts. While waiting, he used the blue wolf to skillfully cut open the belly of the green-backed dragon carp, took out the internal organs, pulled out the carp fishing line, and chopped off the fins.
Blood flowed on the deck, and the Tianshui centipede crawled down from the wrist, lying on it and sucking hard.
The sound of flowing water came from beside the black-sailed boat, and the three beasts surfaced one after another.
Smelling the blood, the fat catfish and the pig dragon stared at the dead green-backed dragon carp.
The opportunity for evolution is right before our eyes.
Liang Qu divided the viscera into two pieces, one large and one small, mixed them with carp scales, and fed them to the fat catfish and the unable to move respectively.
After a moment, Ze Ding lit up.
[Taihua crocodile can evolve into horned crocodile, should it evolve? 】
[Six-barbel catfish can evolve into tiger-head catfish, should it evolve? 】
Liang Qu suppressed his excitement.
Evolution, all evolution!
