Rebirth of the times, a top-level boss joins the national team
Chapter 6 Catching and Selling Fish
The aroma of fish wafted over the entire residential area. In those days when people had to eat coarse grains and vegetables, and it was also mealtime, the aroma was bound to make people within a mile around dazzled by the aroma.
Many people came here because of the fragrance.
In the yard, someone smart had already closed the gate, and no matter how people outside knocked, the door would not be opened.
Even those who were climbing over the wall were not spared and were all driven away. Not even the smell could be smelled away.
Eating a fish meal was more intense than a war, with cursing sounds everywhere.
Tu Shan was not surprised by this. In the end times, not to mention fish, anything edible would definitely cause a war involving thousands of people.
The fights at that time might not have been just for food, some people joined in to die.
Living is too difficult, and not everyone has the courage to commit suicide.
The fish is ready, and Aunt Wang, as the landlord, becomes more prominent.
Like the moon surrounded by stars, he walked to the pot.
He glanced at Tu Shan disdainfully, took a large bowl, and first filled a bowl with more meat and less vegetables for Tu Shan.
Handing it to Tu Shan, she said coldly, "Don't think I'll let you stay just because you treat everyone to a meal of fish. When the three days are up, you still have to get out."
Tu Shan...
What happened to the promise of being soft-hearted when eating someone’s food?
You are so tough, aren't you afraid that she will ruin everything?
He silently carried the fish into the house, out of sight, out of mind.
As soon as she left, the yard became lively with the sounds of people dividing fish.
Tu Shan didn't care, so she thought a fight wouldn't break out. After all, no one would be able to survive if a fight started.
I ate it with relish. Although her cooking skills were average, it was still delicious with the wild vegetables she had grown.
After eating the fish, my hollowed-out body finally felt a sense of satisfaction.
Just this little bit of food is useless in restoring her super powers. It's too little. She needs a lot of food to convert it into super powers.
Today she just wants to have enough food and clothing, she is not picky and will consider other things after she has a good rest.
Looking at the bare walls of the house and thinking about the future, I slowly fell asleep.
Tu Shan woke up before dawn the next day. What woke her up was poverty and hunger.
I had no change of clothes, and the clothes I was wearing were still the same ones I wore yesterday that smelled of fish.
Some people were already up in the yard, mostly those working the early shift.
The people who live here don't have any decent jobs. They sweep the streets, take out manure, carry bags, collect garbage, and even carry corpses at the crematorium.
It's all hard and tiring work.
The salary is not high, the working hours are long, and the morning and evening are reversed.
But even these jobs are not necessarily available.
When the door was opened, everyone in the yard took a step back.
Tu Shan...
He touched the large curtain, remained silent for a second, and walked towards the public water well.
The people in the yard felt a little embarrassed. They had just eaten someone else's fish yesterday, and today they were disgusted again. It was too much.
His lips moved, and after a long pause, he managed to utter a sentence that was hot on his lips: "Third sister, why are you up so early today?"
It’s a little after five in the morning, which is really early.
Tu Sanmei used to not get up until noon.
Tu Shan nodded, scooped up a handful of water to wash her face, and got up to go out.
"Third sister is going out?"
Tu Shan nodded again: "Go and see if there is any work to do."
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the horizon to see if the sun was rising from the west. Was that lazy woman going to work?
Because they had eaten someone else's fish, no one dared to say anything mean, so they squeezed out a dry and caring word: "Go early and come back early."
Tu Shan left without saying anything.
As soon as the people left, the pain in their mouths stopped and they spoke very fluently.
It was said that Tu Sanmei was up to something, going out to look for work before daybreak. Was she playing around? Work wasn't easy to find.
They just hope that she will behave herself during these three days. They don't want her to be harmed again.
Tu Shan didn't hear any of this, nor did she care about it. She didn't really want to find a job. Even if she did find one, she wouldn't get paid for a while, and it wouldn't help her current situation at all.
So, she went to the river again.
Prepare to catch some fish and check out the black market.
I changed the location to go into the water today. There are more aquatic plants here, the water flow is slower, and there are more fish.
Even in July, the height of summer, the river water is still icy cold early in the morning.
Tu Sanmei's poor body couldn't help shivering as soon as it touched the water. It was only after Tu Shan wrapped it up with her special power that she felt better.
It was still dark and visibility was not very good, but fortunately she used her supernatural powers to explore and was not affected.
This time she didn't plan to catch big fish, just those weighing two or three pounds, and a few of each species to see which ones were easy to sell. If she could develop this into a short-term or long-term business, she should be able to support herself.
Diving to the bottom of the water, Tu Shan noticed several large carps standing quietly together among the water plants. Each carp weighed an average of three pounds, which was pleasing to the eye.
It causes the water plants next to them to grow rapidly, quickly forming a grass cage to ensure that no scale can escape.
Even at this point, the fish didn't react at all. I didn't know if they were asleep or dead in their sleep.
Tu Shan left them here and continued looking for the target.
More than 300 meters away, there were four grass carps weighing more than three kilograms. They were not in a group and could not be used to make a grass cage. Tu Shan used tough aquatic plants to make ropes and wrapped them around the four fish at the same time.
The grass carp was frightened and swung wildly, unable to get rid of it.
It is said that fish have a memory of only seven seconds, and they only remember being frightened for seven seconds. After wiggling for a few breaths, they will calm down, stand still and not move, forgetting all the water plants on their bodies.
Tu Shan sighed, this easygoing personality is really good.
Leave these fish where they are and continue looking for targets.
Two minutes later, I found a big turtle in the crevice of the rock. It must have weighed about six or seven pounds. This is a good thing for nourishing the body.
After pulling it out with bare hands, he wrapped it in water grass and held it in his hand.
After swimming forward for a few minutes, I saw a group of black fish patrolling the night.
They must be brothers and sisters from the same family. They are well-proportioned in weight, height and appearance, and they look pleasing no matter how you look at them.
Tu Shan did not let them go and caught them all in one fell swoop, a total of seven.
Seven black carps, one soft-shelled turtle, four grass carps, and five carps are enough.
She made a simple grass basket with water plants and carried it ashore. Fearing that the fish would die on the way, she even injected some supernatural powers into it to ensure that they were alive and kicking until she was slaughtered.
When we broke out of the water, it was just beginning to get light, around six o'clock.
The sun wasn't out, so it wasn't too hot. Even with my supernatural powers, I couldn't block the coolness I felt when I just got out of the water. I couldn't help but shiver again.
Wring out the excess water from your clothes and walk to the black market.
The black market is located in an abandoned old residential area, which is well connected and convenient for escape.
This area is very large, and the black market only occupies a small part. It will be changed from time to time, avoiding being lying in wait and increasing the safety factor.
Tu Shan took the fish and wandered around for a long time before finding the entrance to today's black market.
There was someone guarding the entrance. He glanced at Tu Shan's straw bag and asked, "Selling something?"
Tu Shan nodded.
"Two cents."
Tu Shan???
She doesn't have a penny.
After thinking for a while, he took out a carp and said, "I don't have any money. Can I use this as a payment?"
This fish can be exchanged for at least one dollar and eighty cents, a huge profit.
The man guarding the entrance was a black boy of about twelve or thirteen years old. He glanced at Tu Shan, who was skinny and covered in patches with most of her face covered, and said, "Okay, just this once." But he was very happy in his heart.
"Okay," Tu Shan handed over the fish and walked inside with the bag.
There are already quite a few people coming and going here, both buying and selling.
Tu Shan found a spot by the side and squatted down. The people selling things next to her all squatted like this.
Some sell mountain products, some sell game, and some sell home-woven cloth. There are all kinds of things.
