I'm sorry, I want to be a new person

Chapter 344 Strange Trade Behavior
Ye Da felt curious and walked into the area specially set up for stalls. The person in charge of the port even sent a translator to follow.

"*%￥@￥%?"

A local aunt pointed to a basket of unknown fruits in her hand and smiled at Ye Da.

The interpreter on the side said: "She said this is delicious and sweet."

Ye Da asked curiously, "How much?"

The interpreter shook his head and said: "Generally, they don't want money, they just want to barter. Dongfu Archipelago's coins are illegally coined, and their credibility is not high. People with high status will directly use gold and silver for trading and storage. Most ordinary people are used to bartering. Goods, I have eaten this fruit, and it tastes good."

As he said that, he took out a handful of candy from his pocket, which was the kind of cheap candy that is very common in Kyushu, and it should be something in the translator's own quota.

The translator picked five, and the aunt said something, the translator simply added two more, and then the aunt happily gave them all the baskets.

Ye Da was surprised: "Seven or eight candies can be exchanged for such a big basket of fruit?"

The translator explained: "They won't eat it, but they will take it farther and sell it to the rich. The reward is much higher than that of fruit. Candy is easy to sell and easy to carry and store. A welcome barter."

"Every time we come out, we carry some in our pockets, which is no different from carrying money. We are also willing to do this. The pressure on supplies is much less, and more candy can be exchanged for various supplies. Other small spoons and the like Metal utensils are also hard currency."

As he spoke, he gave Ye Da a handful of candies.

Ye Da held the candy, feeling very novel, like wandering around a market.

Most people in the Dongfu Islands sell food, including fresh fish, salted fish, melons, fruits, vegetables, etc. Most of them, Ye Da, can't name them.

Densely packed wooden boats are docked at a corner of the port. Some people take up positions on the shore to sell, and some people simply put things on the boats.

Ye Da changed a few fruits he hadn't seen before, and the taste was not bad. Since the currency was candy, he couldn't tell whether the price was expensive or not.

In addition to selling things to Kyushu people, the vendors here will also trade with each other. Obviously, this port has become an important trade distribution center in the surrounding area.

At the end of the market, Ye Da saw a strange stall. The stall owner spread a straw mat on the bow of his boat, but what he sold was not food, but some corals, shells, and strange stones.

Ye Da squatted down and took a look. It seemed that they were all found at the bottom of the sea. It was hard to say what special value they had, but they were all pretty good-looking, especially a few pieces of coral, which would not be cheap in Kyushu, but that’s all for now.

The front of this stall was deserted and deserted, and it was not as lively as other stalls. The stall owner was a middle-aged man, thin and small. He should have picked up these by diving.

Ye Da picked out a stone with a beautiful pattern and was about to buy it for Liu Xiaoqian, but when he was about to "pay the sugar", he thought of something.

He took out a small light blue shell from his pocket and showed it to the stall owner: "Do you know this thing?"

This person should be good at water, and he has been picking up things on the bottom of the Dongfu Islands all year round, so he might know something.

The translator said something to the stall owner, and the stall owner took the small shell and looked at it carefully in his palm.

I watched it for a long time.

After watching it for too long, the translator asked:
"%￥#@&...!"

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the stall owner jumped into the sea holding the shells.

"???"

This change stunned everyone around.

"not good!"

Only Ye Da came to his senses, sneered, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed directly at the surface of the sea.

A large vortex suddenly appeared on the sea surface, and the surrounding wooden boats shook violently and were pulled towards the center of the vortex.

Fortunately, this change didn't last long, and soon the stall owner was entangled by a stream of water and was caught out of the water.

The stall owner obviously didn't expect Ye Da to have such ability. He struggled hard but couldn't break free.As if he knew how serious his behavior was, he rolled his eyes and actually swallowed the light blue shell.

Ye Da frowned slightly, and manipulated the water flow to send the stall owner to the shore.

The translator immediately asked a few words in the language of the Dongfu Islands, but the stall owner just gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Ye Da snorted coldly, and used the puppet method to control the stall owner, making him retch constantly.

"Ugh~~! Ugh~!!..."

The series of retching became more and more intense, and finally the man had difficulty breathing.

Finally, with a pool of filth, the man involuntarily spat out the light blue shell.

Using seawater to wash the ground clean, Ye Da endured disgust and took back the shells.

"What does that mean? A robber?"

The interpreter was also very angry: "They also committed crimes before, but they were all local people. No one dared to attack people from Kyushu. I don't recognize this guy. He seems to have just arrived."

Soon, a port officer from the Kyushu side tied up this person.

Ye Da didn't care too much about this person's motives. He probably wanted to make money, but he probably knew what blue shells were, which was very important.

Take it back for a trial, maybe you will find out.

With this "robber", Ye Da and others went to the port station, and the person in charge came after hearing the news: "What's going on?"

The interpreter explained a few words, the person in charge didn't know what the shell was, but this kind of behavior obviously broke the rules of the port and must be severely punished, otherwise other vendors who set up stalls might follow suit.

The "robber" didn't say a word all the way, as if he no longer had any hope of escaping, no matter what the interpreter asked, he didn't answer the question.

Ye Da asked, "Is there an interrogation room? I'll try it, but I need your cooperation."

The translator said: "There is no special interrogation room."

"Then stay here. Just ask. He will answer sooner or later."

Saying that Ye Da deducted a seal, the fluctuation of the "Scary Curse" rushed to the middle-aged man.

The man shivered violently, and then began to sweat profusely on his forehead.

The translator asked a few questions suspiciously, but at first the man was still biting his tongue.

But soon as Ye Da gradually increased the force of the "Scary Curse", fear gradually overcame reason, and he stuttered and began to reply.

After a while, the translator said in surprise: "He is actually from the Xiangliang family."

Ye Da asked, "Sagara? The surname of Dongfu Islands?"

The interpreter nodded and said: "Yes, the nearby sea area was previously considered the sphere of influence of the Sagara family. They are the only three families in the Dongfu Islands that have extraordinary methods. It is said that the methods were passed down from Kyushu hundreds of years ago. We are now in a cooperative relationship, and the relationship is not bad."

"So this person is a spy sent by the Sagara family?"

The interpreter shook his head and said, "No, he said that he was an abandoned son of the Sagara family and was abandoned by the Sagara family. He robbed this shell because he had seen this kind of thing when he was in the Sagara family and wanted to rely on this for revenge."

Ye Da rolled his eyes, this is some kind of bullshit story.

"Then does he know what this shell is?"

"He just saw it and knew it was very precious. The Sagara family treasured it like a treasure."
