After hearing this, the scholar on the side finally couldn't help but started to retort, "Of course you would think so when you only see them harvesting, but they often get nothing. Even when the weather is bad and there are no fish, their lives are still in danger.
."
When Zhu Pang heard this, he wanted to go back angrily. This man was laughing at him just now, and now he came again. Could it be that he was treated like clay and could not be squeezed?
Gu Chengyu gave him a hand, what this man said was true.
"This brother is right. The life of a fisherman is indeed hard. If there is a violent storm, such a small boat is indeed very dangerous. And the fish is not so easy to catch. It is common to return empty-handed."
Gu Chengyu lamented the difficulty of the fishermen and murmured to himself: "Look at the boat, it is in and out of the storm."
The scholar glanced at Gu Chengyu in surprise. He had just seen these two people dressed in rich and noble clothes and had a noble temperament, so he guessed that they were the children of a wealthy family.
Later, Zhu Pang's words also confirmed all this. At first glance, he looked like a young man who had never traveled far.
It's normal not to know this. He just wanted to tell them about the hard life of fishermen on the river!
However, the young man next to him is a bit mature, and he actually knows this.
"Fishermen! Come here, we want to buy fish."
Gu Chengyu did not continue the topic and planned to buy some fresh fish.
There will also be fish for sale in the kitchen on the big ship, but the price is not cheap and it may not be fresh.
The bass just came up and it's still jumping around!
The shrimp head has just pulled in all the fish and is checking the catch.
When he saw two plump bass inside, his grin widened.
The fisherman on the opposite side saw someone waving from the big boat and quickly called to Xiantou, "Xiatou, hurry up! The noble man wants to buy your fish."
The uncle was extremely envious. There were often wealthy people on the big boats buying fresh fish from fishermen like them.
If you encounter a generous fish, you won't care about the price of the fish at all, and you will be rewarded with a lot of silver.
But there are also those who are stingy and have to worry about buying a fish even though it is cheaper than the price in the market.
Xia Tou glanced at the big boat in front of him on the right. There were several people standing there, and one of them, a richly dressed young man, was waving to him.
Xiantou did not hesitate. Such a young man is not short of money. As long as he can catch up with the big boat and give all the fish to those young men, he will have a lot of money.
Putting down the fish he was holding, Xiantou quickly swung the oar and rowed towards the big boat.
Zhu Pang looked at the small fishing boat heading here and said with some confusion: "Jin Yu wants to buy his fish? But aren't there fish for sale on this big boat?"
Gu Chengyu smiled and said, "There should be sea bass among the fish he just arrived. Sea bass is very delicious. You will know after you taste it. It may not be sold on big ships. It all depends on luck."
Xia Tou's small fishing boat was actually not far from the big ship, and he caught up with the big ship in a short time.
Of course, this also has something to do with the speed of shrimp head rowing.
When the boat approached, Gu Chengyu took a look at the shrimp head and found that although the shrimp head was thin, the muscles in his arms were strong.
This should be caused by rowing and pulling all year round. Doing such heavy work has built up muscles in the arms. No wonder the boat rows fast.
The shrimp head did not stop paddling, because the big boat was still moving forward, and he had to keep the shortest distance from the big boat.
Gu Chengyu took a look at such a small fishing boat. It was a real fishing boat with a wooden barrel on it. Gu Chengyu guessed that it should be used to release fish.
In addition, the fish caught were not cleaned up. The shrimp head came over in a hurry and did not have time to clean up.
"Are some young masters going to buy fish?"
Xia Tou looked up and saw that standing at the front was a young man with extraordinary appearance and clothing.
He smiled shyly at Gu Chengyu and Zhu Pang, understanding that these were the patrons who had just waved.
"Brother! How do you sell this bass?" Gu Chengyu saw two big bass in the other party's barrel at a glance.
"Master, do you want to buy sea bass? You must also know that sea bass has tender meat and few thorns, so you can just give me the money."
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised that Xiantou was so direct, but he figured it out immediately.
A fisherman boy like Xiatou who comes to the river all the time sees a lot of customers of all kinds.
Although it is inevitable to feel a little uncomfortable when facing people who are dressed in rich and luxurious clothes, I have also developed a good mouth.
Zhu Pang was very happy when he heard this. This boy was very serious, and he immediately became more playful.
"Are you going to give it to me? If I gave you a penny, would you sell it too?" Zhu Pang asked with a grin.
Xia Tou couldn't help but chuckle, "You are a young master from a wealthy family, how can you give me a penny? You can give more than a penny to any servant you want!"
Gu Chengyu was also amused by Zhu Pang, but in a blink of an eye he saw Xia Tou struggling to shake the oar, and then he pulled Zhu Pang next to him.
The other party still wants to fish, so they had better not waste the other party's time.
"Bring both bass over here!"
Gu Chengyu was about to go through his purse, but Zhu Pang had already dropped a silver ingot and landed at Xiatou's feet.
This made Xia Tou very happy, and he kept shouting thank you, Master.
Gu Chengyu shook his head and laughed. Ten taels of silver was certainly more than enough to buy two seabass. Two taels of silver was too much.
But he didn't stop him. Fishing was not easy, and people were exposed to wind and rain. It was rare for them to buy it once, so there was no need to worry about it.
He had no intention of giving less, it was about ten taels.
Shrimp Tou happily threw the two bass onto the deck, and Zhu Pang had already asked Tuanzi to pick them up.
Gu Chengyu saw that there were some crucian carp and some small miscellaneous fish on the boat. In fact, the small miscellaneous fish were also rare and delicious.
I planned to buy more, but unexpectedly the shrimp heads had already started to be thrown onto the boat.
"Young master, you are generous. The offal fish and crucian carp here taste delicious! This is a gift from the boy."
Gu Chengyu smiled, this guy is good at doing business.
Looking at the crucian carp on the deck, there were two very large fish, and there were more other small miscellaneous fish.
I threw down another two taels of silver. This was not money to buy fish, but to appreciate the young man's simple character.
Seeing that Gu Chengyu gave him another twenty taels, Xia Tou quickly wanted to return the money, but when he saw Gu Chengyu waved his hand, he had already started to walk in.
Knowing that he was good at this, he was still throwing fish into the boat while rowing the boat.
When Tuanzi saw so many fish, he shouted "enough is enough". When will these small fish be picked up?
Ming Yan, who had left the room, saw this and quickly stepped forward to help.
Two days passed quickly, and Gu Chengyu finally stepped on the dock of Jingyuan Mansion, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Zhu Pang was very surprised, "Jin Yu! This place is no different from the dock in the capital! The capital is bigger than this!"
Gu Chengyu did not answer Zhu Pang's words, but said to Tuanzi and the others: "Be careful with your luggage, there are a lot of thieves here."
Because Zhu Pang was accompanying me this time, there were more things than the previous two times.
Most of them are souvenirs, intended to be given to friends with whom they have made friends.
However, Zhu Pang's things were more than those of Gu Chengyu, all of which were packed away by Tian. 11
