Chapter 94 Big house, big carp!
The moon is clear.
Liang Qu looked around and saw a total of twenty strong men working for him.
Cutting planks, laying beams, and making clay.
In the middle of winter, everyone's forehead was covered with sweat, and the smell of sweat was very strong.
It is not convenient for ordinary people to take a bath in winter. They have to chop wood and boil water. If they are not careful, they may catch a cold.
Everyone washes as little as possible, and Liang Qu doesn't mind.
He was considered to be wealthy, and he had a sachet hanging around his waist, which had no odor but smelled good.
In the early days, I was still smelling like fish, but the eldest brother didn’t say anything about the second brother.
"have you eaten yet?"
"I ate. The rice was enough to fill me up. There was minced meat in the dishes. No other family is as polite as you."
"Yes, there is no work in winter, and everything is gone. Having food to eat and money to earn is a great thing."
"Meat morsels?" Liang Qu shook his head. "Tell Chen Tongmin next time to use larger slices of meat. Put three pounds of pork in each stew."
Everyone was so surprised that they forgot to do their work.
Liang Qu took out another ounce of silver and gave it to Liu Quanfu: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Go home early to rest today. I'll give you three days off. You can come back to work the day after tomorrow. Uncle Fu, please help me buy some pork. Two pounds per person. Choose the fat ones, so that we can have more meat dishes on the New Year's table."
Dashun pork is only more than 20 wen per pound, but chicken and duck meat cost more than 50 wen per piece.
The province is the province, the flowers are the flowers.
Liu Quanfu's hand that touched the silver felt like it was touching charcoal, and he pulled it back repeatedly: "No, no!"
"What's so useless? One point of flesh equals one point of strength. Ten points of flesh equals ten points of strength. Don't argue with me here. It's a waste of time to be polite to each other!"
Without waiting for Liu Quanfu to reply, the man on the roof started to cheer.
"Mr. Liang is so generous!"
"it is good!"
"The main house will be completed before spring!"
The roar of joy caused the surrounding neighbors to open their windows and stick their heads out to see what was going on.
"Master Liang, let's not rush back. It's sunny today, there's light, and we can work a little longer!"
"That's right, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, let's fuck him all night long! That's how we deserve Mr. Liang's meal!"
Liang Qu laughed: "It's up to you."
This is exactly the effect he wants. To be more motivated, he can live in a big house as soon as possible.
After the house was built, he used the remaining money to hire two more maids.
Eat whatever you want, live however you want, and in the end everything will be neat and tidy for you.
Liang Qu stretched out his legs, sat on the wood and stretched himself, feeling very comfortable.
The dream that I couldn't realize in my previous life was easily achieved in this life. Just thinking about those days makes me feel comfortable.
"Okay, that's it. I'm leaving now."
"Mr. Liang, take care."
Liu Quanfu saw him off respectfully all the way, watched Liang Qu walk out of half of the courtyard wall, and turned back to shout to everyone.
"One by one, don't be lazy, put up the beams! Put up all the beams tonight! Install the rafters as well. Before daybreak, the lookout board of the main house must be laid!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Uncle Fu!"
under the moonlight.
The long oars stirred the water, creating whirlpools, and an invisible current surged from behind, pushing the sailboat to a certain area of water at a very fast speed.
Liang Qu estimated that if there was any dragon boat race, he could win the first prize alone.
The three beasts that had been waiting here early surfaced and took charge of the reception.
Liang Qu took Fu Bo and Qing Lang and jumped into the water to measure his own lotus root first.
Since the crab monster's shell and the unknown warrior's corpse were buried, the lotus root has grown noticeably faster.
The growth area has become larger, and there is a momentum to fill all the places previously destroyed by the crab monster.
After confirming that burying things could bring benefits and that the lotus roots were growing very healthily, Liang Qu and the three beasts explored further, mainly under the water.
Many water animals have the habit of digging holes and living at the bottom of the water. These species are difficult to discover, even with fists, such as fat catfish and pig dragons.
First, it is difficult to detect. The fish are smart and will cover the entrance of the hole with mud. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell the difference at all.
Secondly, it is huge in size and has short arms, so it is useless to find it unless you wait for the guy in the cave to come out by himself.
But it was not a problem at all for Liang Qu.
His perception circle is twenty meters, and the detailed circle is ten meters. Although his perception under the mud and sand is hindered, he can still detect to a depth of about one meter.
The exploration advantage is much greater than that of the three beasts, but Liang Qu usually doesn't want to waste time looking for resources. It would be better to drive the stakes twice more.
Feeling along the bottom of the water, when we saw a cave entrance, we let the Tianshui Centipede go in to explore. Some of them were empty, and some occasionally produced some small fish, all of which were common fish species.
Half an hour later, an unusual cave entrance appeared within Liang Qu's perception range.
The internal structure of the cave is extremely long, as thick as a human leg, and the deepest part is beyond the range of perception.
Most fish don’t have that much strength, so there might be a surprise.
Liang Qu, who had experience in digging eels when he was young, did not act rashly. He first searched nearby and successfully found two mud holes of equal size. He let the fat catfish and the pig dragon ambush outside the hole entrances respectively.
All places were blocked, and Liang Qu let the Tianshui centipede enter the cave.
The Tianshui centipede is small in size but very powerful. It can curl up at the critical moment. Its hard shell is as big as a metal ball and it is difficult for even the treasure fish to bite it, making it the most suitable for exploring caves.
After receiving the order, Awei shook the two whiskers on his head, crawled on his centipede, and meandered into the big hole.
In the mental connection, Liang Qu could sense that Awei was constantly moving deeper and deeper. After reaching a position about three meters underground, it suddenly stopped and then quickly retreated.
"coming!"
Liang Qu was holding Fubo, waiting at the entrance of the cave. When Awei retreated to less than one meter from the ground, a tall guy broke into his perception circle.
Oh my god, it’s an eel!
An eel as thick as a forearm!
Could it be a treasure fish?
Liang Qu looked delighted. When the Tianshui centipede crawled out of the hole and the big eel poked its head out, he shot it with a gun.
The tip of the Fu Bo spear was extremely sharp, and it did not cause any ripples at all when it broke through the water flow. The big eel was pierced through the head without even noticing it, and even leaned forward a short distance due to inertia, leaving a big gash from the head to the neck, and the overflowing blood drifted away with the waves.
The big eel realized it later. It curled up its body and struggled and moved frantically. As a result, although the spear did not move, its entire head was cut off.
Liang Qu: “.”
Sometimes being too sharp is not good either, as it cannot guarantee the integrity of the prey, and the slightest struggle will rip off its head.
Liang Qu used his "fist" to clamp the half of the eel's body that was still in the hole and pulled it out. When he saw the seven purple spots on the eel's body, he was overjoyed.
"Seven-seven eel!"
He is no longer a fool, and he can recognize many common precious fish.
The seven-spotted eel is one of them. It is slimy, strong and lives in holes, making it more difficult to catch than ordinary treasure fish.
However, although it is difficult to catch, the enhancement effect is almost the same as that of the tiger grouper.
The one in front of me weighs about two kilograms, and I don’t know whether it can make the “inability to move” evolve first.
Liang Qu asked "Can't Move" to come over and threw all the seven-striped eels to it.
"Don't move!" He swung his tail and walked quickly forward, opened his mouth and swallowed in big gulps, without even chewing, and swallowed the whole big eel.
The fat catfish looked on with envy, its long whiskers waving non-stop.
Liang Qu shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. Ah Fei, you need eight points, but you can't move and only need six points. If it eats you, it may still evolve, but you don't. Just bear with it for now. Next time, everything will be yours."
The gods had spoken, so Ah Fei had no choice but to endure it. He swam around, wagging his tail, and caught two big grass carps to satisfy his craving. While eating, he did not forget to give the two fish heads to his fellow sufferers.
Quanzheng and Awei didn't feel disgusted and each held a fish head and started to chew on it.
Communicate with Ze Ding.
[Can consume points of water essence to evolve Taihua Crocodile into Hornwood Crocodile]
Liang Qu let out a sigh.
really.
Although I was mentally prepared, it was still very uncomfortable when I actually saw it.
The effects of the seven-spotted eel and the red blood perch are similar. If you eat a small eel weighing two kilograms in total, the water essence it provides is about four or five points.
I can only keep looking.
Liang Qu was not discouraged. He continued to explore with a few water beasts. However, he did not find the precious fish until the early morning and was extremely sleepy.
It's time for Uncle Chen to go out fishing. It wouldn't be a good idea to stay any longer.
Liang Qu told Chen Qingjiang that he didn't need to go out fishing in the middle of the night. Using his bait, there would be no difference between day and night.
Chen Qingjiang insisted that fish are more active at night and the effect of placing bait would be better, which is a valuable experience passed down from generation to generation in fishing activities.
There was nothing wrong with the logic, and Liang Qu had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.
Let’s go back to the martial arts hall and sleep first!
the next day.
Liang Qu had trained his meat and guessed that Uncle Chen was still fishing in the morning, so he continued to practice with his senior brother and rushed to Yixing City at noon.
Hu Qi stretched his muscles and said, "Master's wife asked us to come over for dinner tonight, don't forget it."
"Don't worry, I will be back before 4:45 PM!"
Liang Qu's voice disappeared outside the door, and Hu Qi shook his head helplessly.
"Today I will definitely make the immobile evolve!"
Liang Qu rowed the boat with full confidence. Just as he passed the pier, he heard cheers coming from the street, as if a crowd was gathering.
He stopped the boat and pricked up his ears.
"It must be a precious fish. I have never seen such a beautiful precious fish!"
"Isn't this fish too big? How did you catch it?"
Treasure fish! ?
Another fisherman caught a treasure fish?
Liang Qu was very happy.
Yes, besides myself, there are other fishermen.
There are only a few precious fish at this pier every month, and I am really stuck in a mental dead end.
He is also a warrior and has money. If he can't catch it himself, it's the same as buying it from others!
Liang Qu couldn't wait to see what the hornwood crocodile looked like. He didn't even bother to greet the villagers and quickly rushed into the crowd. He unexpectedly discovered that the person surrounded by the crowd was actually an old acquaintance!
"Chen Qingjiang, you are lucky!"
"Old Chen, can you lend me some of your bait?"
"Hahaha, Lao Li, are you dreaming? Do you also want to get close to the martial arts master?"
"Don't worry about Lao Li, tell me how you caught him."
Chen Qingjiang, who was surrounded by the crowd, was wet all over and his face was red. He seemed not to feel the cold at all. He was extremely excited and laughed breathlessly.
"I finished fishing today, and on my way back I saw a fish floating on the water to breathe. From a distance it looked like a carp, but I had never seen such a fish back before, it was so green and beautiful.
Carp are expensive, so when I thought it might be a precious fish, I quickly chased after it. The skin on my palms was rubbed raw. I was afraid that the net would break, so I cast two nets at once, but they were both torn.
I was so anxious at the time that I jumped into the water with my paddle in my hand, and hit the fish hard on the head several times. I finally knocked the fish unconscious until I was half frozen to death, and then I carried it back to the boat!"
Liang Qu, who was outside the crowd, was stunned.
I'll be a good boy.
It turns out that the opportunity for the two beasts to evolve lies with Uncle Chen!
