To be honest, Xu Anqiao thought he was well-read, but he had never heard of carp like the Yin River carp.
This is also the shortcoming of most animal appraisers.
Many beast appraisers obtain information on various beasts through reading and cataloged beast books.
However, the Beast Code cannot be all-inclusive, it is not omniscient and omnipotent, and it only contains a very small part.
Of course Xu Anqiao understands these principles.
That's why he felt bad. He was afraid that something would happen to him today.
It was originally because the Hongye City Association used their connections to apply for an increase in the number of official appraisers, which harmed their interests, so they brought people to suppress the Hongye City Association. But who would have thought that the situation would start to develop in a direction that is unfavorable to them.
.
Xu Anqiao also identified Ding Hong's scales, and he came to the same conclusion as Ding Hong. Nine times out of ten, they were the scales of some kind of aquatic dragon.
If not, then wouldn’t it mean that I have also made a mistake?
At this time, several northern businessmen from outside had already obtained the scales. After just taking a look, one of them smiled and said: "Yes, these are the scales of the Yin River carp, but they are the solid scales of the carp.
It’s the hardest part of the fish.”
Xu Anqiao's heart sank.
Ding Hong was even more disbelieving.
"How is it possible? How can carp's scales be so tough? I don't believe it."
Ding Hongzhi shook his head, obviously doubting the identity of these northern businessmen. He even thought that these northern businessmen were 'shills' hired by the Hongye City Association.
Northerners are tall and have a very direct temperament.
They originally wanted to help, but when they heard Ding Hong's suspicious eyes and denial, several northern businessmen immediately became unhappy.
"There is no need to lie to you. If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. When we do business, we never lie to others."
Ding Hong said angrily: "Who knows? The North Country is thousands of miles away from here. Who can prove whether what you say is true or false? What if you are taking advantage of others to come here and talk nonsense? I even doubt that there is no Yinhe River at all.
Something like a big carp.”
These words directly made several northern businessmen furious.
"Why do you talk like this? Who are you talking about?"
It was obvious that several northerners were very angry.
Ding Hong sneered.
He doesn't believe it at all now, or in other words, even if it is true, he can't believe it.
If you believe it, don’t you lose?
This discussion is actually a battle. What are the two associations betting on? Their respective faces and reputations, so they can only win, not lose.
As long as they insist that it is the Yin River carp, even a few northerners can't prove it.
But what the northern businessman said next made Ding Hong dumbfounded.
"Didn't we bring two big carps this time? Go and get them here and let this person see if we are talking nonsense."
Several northern businessmen were immediately furious, and immediately some people went out to fish, and they couldn't stop them.
Naturally, Lin Jin would not stop him. He did not expect that there would be merchants from the northern countries in Hongye City, nor did he expect that among the fish they sold, there really was a large Yin River carp.
Tan Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the current situation, the problem is not big.
She glanced at Lin Jin secretly, curious.
You know, she has never heard of the Yin River carp, a fish found in northern rivers.
Soon, there was the sound of carts outside, and several northern businessmen shouted for people to go out and take a look.
When everyone left the hall, they saw a wooden cart outside with a large carp that had not been completely dismembered.
This carp is indeed big, nearly one foot long, but it must have been frozen by ice, and there are still ice particles.
Seeing such a big carp, Xu Anqiao knew something was wrong, while Ding Hong was stunned and speechless.
He was speechless, but the enraged northern businessmen had no intention of letting him go.
"Come on, come on, come and take a look. Compare the scales. Are they exactly the same? Are we talking nonsense?" the northern businessman said angrily, and pulled Ding Hong over with force.
What else is this comparing to?
Anyone who is not blind can see that the scales Ding Hong brought before are exactly the same as the scales on this big carp, no matter the texture, size or texture.
Now, things are very clear.
Even if Ding Hong wanted to deny his credit, there was nothing he could do.
He was a little confused.
Is there really a big carp in the Yin River?
It's just that these scales are really similar to those of Jiaolong. How did Lin Jin see it?
If Xu Anqiao is still cunning, he rolled his eyes and said: "Master Lin is indeed very knowledgeable. The northern country is thousands of miles away from here, and Master Lin actually knows the fish species there."
It’s really amazing to know the palm of your hand, we can be considered to have learned a lesson this time.”
In a word, big things turn into small things.
As for their previous doubts and disbelief, it was as if it never happened at all.
Ding Hong also reacted and secretly said that it was President Xu who was still practicing. Now that Lin Jin's assessment was fine, there was no point in getting entangled in this matter.
Lin Jin and the others thanked the northern merchants and then returned to the animal appraisal hall.
The appraisers in Green River City are no longer as arrogant as before. On the contrary, Hongye City is much more proud.
At this time, Tan Lin let in the two newcomers they were competing for this time.
The next step is very simple, just ask the two newcomers Zhang Ze and Mo Huan about their intentions, whether they want to go to the Green River City Beast Appraisal Association or stay in Hongye City.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
Obviously, no matter how two people choose, one of them will be offended. There is no doubt about this, but things in the world are sometimes like this. When it is time to take sides, you must take sides. There must be no ambiguity. The result of pleasing both sides can only be
Eat your own bitter pill.
These two people are not stupid either. They see the dangers involved, so how to choose becomes even more important.
If you make the wrong choice, your future may be ruined.
A few minutes later, the animal appraiser from the Green River City Association said goodbye and left with a bad look on his face. Obviously, their plan to rob people this time failed.
Zhang Ze and Mo Huan hesitated again and again, but still chose to stay in Hongye City Association.
There may be many reasons, but one of them must be Lin Jin's relationship. If Lin Jin hadn't defeated Ding Hong in public and was superior in skill, the two people's choices might have been different.
Gao Jiang left in a hurry, and Tan Lin called Lin Jin to stop him.
She was obviously very curious as to how Lin Jin could identify it as the 'Yin River Giant Carp' by looking at its scales.
Although the content of the appraisal book was exciting, she did not believe it could be so accurate. You must know that this kind of appraisal method, let alone her, even her father Tan Xun, a three-ring animal appraiser, may not be able to do it.
After tapping from the side, Lin Jin finally figured out what President Tan meant. He thought about it and said directly: "Actually, I saw those northern businessmen unloading their goods on the way here this morning, so I looked at them out of curiosity.
I learned a lot about the Yin River carp beforehand, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell it with just one scale."
After saying that, Lin Jin took the opportunity to run away while Tan Lin was stunned.
