Hearing what the old fisherman said, the surrounding boatmen and fishermen burst into laughter.

"Old Hantou, have you made a bet with someone again? This is the first fool this year, right?"

"Why is he the first one? A dozen days ago there was a fool from Huang Haidao who was kneeling on the ground begging for help."

"Hahahaha, that person is so funny, he actually wants to carry fish to Hanyang."

"It's just that there are always idiots who don't believe in evil and have never suffered, so that they can improve their memory."

A bunch of people were talking non-stop. They rushed forward to see Hong Dashou's face clearly, as if they wanted to remember this silly face in their hearts so that they could describe it more vividly in the future.

Others listen.

"Young man, if you can find a boat and find a few, we will give you a few fish from the boat."

A group of people agreed directly and laughed at the same time, laughing very wantonly, completely treating Hong Dashou as a fool.

Hong Dashou blushed. He had been laughed at before, but he had never been laughed at by dozens or hundreds of people watching and laughing. An inexplicable sense of humiliation welled up from the bottom of his heart, but people are very strange.

If you back down, you can be tough on your words.

"Okay! It's a deal! I will definitely find the ship."

After that, Hong Dashou took out the ten-tael redemption ticket from his shoe and held it up high for everyone present to see clearly.

"This is a redemption ticket personally issued by Hong Deok-joo of the Yiju Yongwan Merchant Group. It is worth ten taels. It can be redeemed immediately at any Kyungshang store in Hanyang!"

Hong Dashou, who was full of energy, waved the cashed ticket in front of the crowd as he spoke. An ordinary ship trip from Xiongjin to Hanyang costs at most five or six taels, and Hong Dashou’s offer was almost twice the normal shipping fee.

, it’s impossible for no one to be tempted.

But the reality is that everyone in the port looked at Hong Dashou like a fool. Even though the ten-tael exchange note was very clear and Hong's mind was shaken, no one responded.

Incredible!

There are people in the world who don’t need money!

Hong Dashou couldn't believe it. Are all the shipowners in the port all modest gentlemen who don't like money? This is impossible! What's going on? In order to bully a foreigner, don't you even want to make money?

Looking at the indifferent crowd, Hong Dashou took the risk and took out twenty-two tickets.

"Twenty taels, as long as it is delivered to Hanyang, I will pay twenty taels for the shipping, no less!"

Now the crowd became a little commotion. Four times the price was almost as rare as it could not be more rare.

A thin but dark man walked up and snatched the redemption ticket from Hong Dashou's hand. Hong Dashou was about to take it back, but then he thought, didn't this mean that someone was willing to take the order?

Fortunately, the joy has not yet been expressed from the brain to the face, and the pretentious words have not been uttered.

"Bah, it's really twenty taels of cash!" The burly black man put the cash back into Hong Dashou's hand, spat, and actually returned to the crowd to continue watching the show.

"Hey, he is richer than the idiot last time."

"No matter how rich you are, you're still a fool, hahahahaha..."

"Don't worry, wait and see if he adds, then the fun begins."

All the boatmen and fishermen had to do was move a chair, make a cup of tea and grab a handful of sunflower seeds.

"This is an honest businessman from Taiwan who cashes in bills. He pays as soon as he sees the bill. Twenty taels! Twenty taels!"

Hong Dashou's voice was hoarse. He shouted so loudly, but no one responded.

A middle-aged ship owner in the crowd saw that Hong Dashou had no choice but stopped adding more money. He had seen enough of the show and was about to leave. Hong Dashou rushed forward and stopped the man, which was very rude.

He grabbed both of the man's arms.

"I see you obviously have a big boat and the price is so high. Why don't you give it to me? Why!"

The man was panicked at first, but within a few seconds he turned angry. Years of working on the ship gave the shipowner a lot of strength. He raised his hand and pushed Hong Dashou away.

He was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

"Give it away? Give it away! Do you know how much my boat costs?"

"A full five hundred taels! Five hundred taels!"

"You want to buy my boat and the lives of a dozen people on it for twenty taels?"

"Lost your mind!"

The middle-aged shipowner angrily denounced Hong Dashou's unreasonableness and ignorance, and gave Hong Dashou a look of contempt. If it weren't for Hong Dashou's big-brimmed gauze hat, which represented the two classes of nobles, the shipowner might have been satiated.

He punched Hong Dashou half to death.

In this way, the show came to an end, and everyone dispersed chatting and laughing. No one cared about Hong Dashou who fell to the ground, completely ignoring him.

"Do you understand? Have you given up?"

Others thought Hong DaShou was a fool, but it was the old fisherman who came over from the beginning and pulled Hong DaShou up from the ground.

The old man who had laughed at the show just now took a handkerchief from his waist and wiped Hong Dashou's hands and face. The handkerchief was clean, but it was full of salty and bitter smell. It was probably washed with sea water.

Just wipe it with mud.

Hong Dashou sat there blankly, and he really couldn't understand why he didn't sell the boat when he knew it was rich and profitable.

The old man looked at Hong Dashou with a dumb look on his face and pointed at the sea in front of him and at the ships in the harbor.

"Young man, do you think that with a boat, you can go anywhere on the water? It can even withstand the wind and waves of the Yellow River, so a trip to the Han River is a piece of cake?"

"Isn't it?" Hong Dashou certainly thinks so. It is only natural to travel on water.

The old man shook his head, smoked his dry pipe pot again, took a big puff, blew out a smoke ring, and spoke loudly.

These fishing boats dare to go to the Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea and even the Pacific Ocean, but they just don't dare to go to the Han River.

Not only do I not dare, I have stopped trying.

The reason is very simple, the hydrological conditions are not familiar! The water of the Han River flows out and merges into the Yellow Sea. When the river water and the sea water merge, a large number of whirlpools will be generated, so that's all.

The mouth of the Han River is dotted with islands, large and small. The most famous Ganghwa Island even has five towns. These islands are located at the intersection of the two rivers. The ones that are exposed are the islands, and the ones that are not exposed are

It's the reef.

The dotted reefs and whirlpools that appear at any time have been proven by countless ancestors at the cost of many ships and lives lost.

There are countless shipwrecks and dead sailors at the mouth of the Han River. They are all bloody lessons, and no one does not take them seriously.

How dare the boatmen of these fishing boats go to such dangerous places to deliver goods? That is not delivering goods, that is risking their lives!

Who wants money if you have a life to earn but no life to spend? Life is important? Money is important?

Instead of going to the dangerous areas of the Han River Estuary, it is better to fish safely in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. As long as you catch the fish, you can exchange for money. Although there is the danger of sea waves, it is better than the ten-death situation at the Han River Estuary.
