"Why? Is it something extraordinary? Is it worth thirty thousand taels?" Nangong Xiaoxiang asked him.
"Let alone 30,000 taels, the price has already risen to more than 100,000 taels in the black market.”The uncle was very surprised. It was also his first time seeing this thing.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and sell the black market. We can raise money to buy Dao." Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"Wait a minute. It's a pity to sell this thing to the black market. If you go to the venue, not to mention 30,000 taels, you can even raise tens of millions.”the uncle said.
"What kind of grand event is it? I think your eyeballs are about to fall out.”Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"These few days are the days when the Sea Half-Shark will cross the waterfall and enter the sea. The Tu Yun Country will welcome the annual festival, the Fishing Sea Gathering. On this day, young talents and wealthy businessmen from all over the world would gather here. Just to taste the world's most delicious food!”the uncle said.
"So it's for a bite. Look at these people! What does that have to do with us earning money?”Nangong Xiaoxiang asked.
"If you want to eat fresh sea half-shark, you naturally have to be caught. The sea half-mermen and mermen would only return today, and it was when their meat was the most delicious. This was an opportunity to earn money. The price of a fresh sea half-mermaid was at least a million taels of silver.”the uncle said.
"You're asking us to be fishermen, but I don't have much experience in that. Moreover, what kind of fish was that that was so valuable?”Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"I'm only talking about the price of the lowest grade sea half-merman and half-merman. If we can catch the king fish, then…No, no, no, this thing is not something that ordinary people can catch.”The uncle shook his head repeatedly.
The uncle could only click his tongue and sigh at this field that he had only heard of but could not touch.
"It's just catching fish. I don't believe it's difficult.”Nangong Xiaoxiang pulled Zhao Xiaomei and was about to go.
At this moment, the uncle came to dissuade them." What difficulties did you encounter that you need so much money?”
Nangong Xiaoxiang explained the reason to him. The uncle smiled and said,""That's your insensitivity. She saw that you saved Yuchi Lanxi's life and couldn't bear to see you die in vain at Emerald Shade Lake.”
"Who exactly is this Lady Boss? She was still throwing a tantrum in front of the Ruler just now.”
"Her name is Li Fengniang. She used to be the number one dancer in Liushang Kingdom. She was old friends with Bai Cangyan and almost became the mother of the country. If you want to go to Emerald Shade Lake, you can only go through her.”
"At the end of the day, we still have to gather thirty thousand silver taels.”Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"Thirty thousand taels is just a pretense. Li Fengniang is testing whether you have the qualifications to go to the Emerald Shade Lake.”the uncle said.
"What do you mean? Do you think that just because you can earn money, you're qualified?”Nangong Xiaoxiang asked.
"In this place, yes. This is an invitation letter approved by the country ruler. It can allow three people to enter the venue. It was worth far more than 100,000 taels, but because of this, no one in the black market would dare to accept it. You can only go to the Sea Meeting. Moreover, there are many experts there. It is very difficult to profit from it. The sea half-shark was not a small fish that could be caught by a broken net.”the uncle said.
"Why? Do you think you'll die from catching fish?”
"Every year, countless people die because of this.”the uncle said.
Nangong Xiaoxiang wanted to see it even more. Zhao Xiaomei also wanted to try the legendary delicacy.
"I've heard of the Sea Half-mermaid. My father asked someone to bring back half a bag of dried fish. After I ate it, I also felt that it was very delicious and asked him if he had any more. I only saw my father smacking his lips in shock. He said,"Daughter, you ate up three of my shops in one bite!" However, that piece of dried fish was only this big.”Zhao Xiaomei gestured with her hand. It was only the size of a palm. "Later on, I found out that it was the legendary sea half-mermaid, which was more valuable than gold, silver and jade.”
It was truly breathtaking. The poor work hard, the rich enjoy. Even the richest man in the world, Old Master Zhao, would feel pain for a bag of dried fish. This was because not only were sea half-mermen expensive, they were also extremely rare. In order to get that bag of dried fish, Old Master Zhao must have used a lot of connections. The money he wanted to get from the top to the bottom probably far exceeded the three shops.
This was just a bag of dried fish. Wouldn't the fresh sea mermaids and mermen be even more exaggerated?
Nangong Xiaoxiang wanted to see it even more, so she pulled Zhao Xiaomei and rented a small boat to go to the venue.
Since there were only three of them, Nangong Xiaoxiang invited the uncle to go with her. The uncle was tongue-tied and stuttered,"Really? I've never been there. Do I need to wear formal clothes? What about my sheep? Is the wine there free? I…"
The uncle's clumsy appearance was somewhat embarrassing. He had heard so much about the Sea Meeting that his ears were about to get calluses, but he had never participated in it personally.
The poor work hard, and the rich enjoy themselves. The middle-aged man had just escaped from poverty, and he didn't have the ability to catch a sea half-mermaid, but he could only be a humble spectator.
Nangong Xiaoxiang saw his worry and pulled him onto the boat. "I'm just going to take a look. Who else can eat you?”
"That might not be the case!" the uncle said.
Before the time was up, there were already many ships heading in one direction. Those ships were all very tall and luxurious. There was no need to ask, they were definitely here for the Tu Yun National Sea Conference.
Therefore, they didn't need a guide and just followed the main group. The Sea Meeting held by the Tu Yun Country was as famous as the Alchemy Convention of the Tianchu Country. However, the purpose of this event was obviously more business. Therefore, other than experts from various countries, there were also merchants.
The venue was divided into two parts. One was the restaurant at the front, and the other was the fish farm at the back.
The restaurant was located on a floating island. There was originally some fog along the way, floating in the air. At this point, the fog had dispersed and the view was wide. Many ships had stopped around the island, and most of them were heading toward the level 3 waterfall fishery.
When they got ashore, they realized that the so-called island was actually a lotus leaf. It was soft and felt like it was floating up and down. It was especially interesting. As for the so-called dining room, there was neither a kitchen nor a dining table. The diners sat in a pile. The chef threw the ingredients into the air. With a wave of blades, the ingredients were sliced into pieces and fell in front of them.
It turned out to be raw fish without any dipping sauce. It was an original delicacy.
Yao An found a place to sit down. The waiter came over and asked what to eat.
"Of course it's the signature dish." Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"Sea half-mermaid, that's fresh, it hasn't reached the bottom of the waterfall yet. If he wanted to eat it, he had to wait until someone else caught it and was willing to give it away. The price was up to him, and he might not be able to get it. Of course, you can also capture it yourself. Our restaurant only charges a processing fee. It's personally cooked by our manager and head chef. There are only ten people a day.”The waiter pointed at a person sitting there.
He was the store manager. He had an extraordinary bearing. He held a long saber and was circulating his qi.
To be a chef here, one needed to be at least at the Four Symbols Realm. As for the head chef, he was already at the fourth rank of the Four Symbols Realm. Even if he couldn't reach the fifth level, he still had many choices. He could actually become a chef! It seemed that cooking the Sea Half-mermaid was not a small amount of physical labor!
This made people want to eat even more. Nangong Xiaoxiang was usually not greedy, but in this place, the sound of people smacking their mouths could be heard. As the saying went, even delicacies were affected by the atmosphere. Nangong Xiaoxiang's craving was aroused.
"How much money did you bring?" Nangong Xiaoxiang asked Zhao Xiaomei.”
"I've spent almost all my money in Jinxun Town. The money he had now might not be enough to buy a fish scale. Look at this place, there are so many merchants and nobles waiting. When the time comes, they will definitely raise the price to an astronomical price.”
Then it was impossible to eat ready-made food, so he could only go and catch it himself.
Nangong Xiaoxiang was very depressed that she had to work hard before eating. However, the ordinary vegetables here were very expensive, and they couldn't afford them. Nangong Xiaoxiang sighed at how bitter her life was.
Nangong Xiaoxiang sat on the ground dejectedly. She watched as the rich people put a piece of fish into their mouths, and their faces revealed expressions as if they had gone to heaven. That sense of superiority and satisfaction made Yao An really want to…really want to rush over and lick their boots.
"You're so useless. Look at you drooling.”Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
Nangong Xiaoxiang immediately wiped her saliva and looked up. It was the Marquis of Huainan. That's right, he was also a great merchant of his generation. How could he miss out on such a lively event?
Judging from his mocking smile and disdainful expression, he was obviously one of the nouveau riche and definitely had a seat here.
Nangong Xiaoxiang knew that as long as she opened her mouth, she would immediately eat the delicious food. The Marquis of Huainan treated her very well. He was like a brother that she didn't know. Nangong Xiaoxiang also knew that he was just joking, but she couldn't help it.
Hmph, with my looks, I can't even get a meal here! When her poor master brought Nangong Xiaoxiang out to travel in the early years, he used this method to make a living. He always made Nangong Xiaoxiang act cute and obedient. Nangong Xiaoxiang had been tested by the knowledge of freeloading.
So Nangong Xiaoxiang tore off the ribbon that tied her hair, revealing her long black hair.
"I won't let you invite me!”Nangong Xiaoxiang said to the Marquis of Huainan.
"Treating your own sister to a meal is like a family banquet. What's there to say? You're also here for the Sea Half-mermaid, right? How can you have the strength if you don't eat your fill?”Huainan Hou said.
"But I just don't want you to treat me!" Nangong Xiaoxiang knew that there were rich people everywhere, and a false sense of integrity suddenly rose in her heart.
Just like before, Nangong Xiaoxiang and the Marquis of Huainan quarreled as soon as they met.
The two of them did not look like brother and sister. Instead, they quarreled like a newlywed couple, exposing each other's shortcomings, attracting the attention of others.
At this moment, a luxuriously dressed youth walked over. He was also one of the tycoons. What, are you here to show off again? Nangong Xiaoxiang looked at him with displeasure.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:44AM
