Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 355 Silverfish
Tang Long and Ling Zhen asked Liu Hui Niang about the unclear parts of the drawing, and discussed with her for a long time before they each took the drawing back to make it.

On this day, Zhao Zhen inspected the rattan armor sent from the carpenter's workshop. This batch of rattan armor was all woven with blood rattan, and there were a total of 37 pieces of blood rattan armor.

Bloodvine Armor (woven from a variety of bloodvine)

Feature 3: Protection +2, Sturdiness +.

Feature 2: Lightweight, does not sink in water, breathable, does not get hot, and is non-flammable.

Zhao Zhen planned to send this batch of blood vine armor to Ruan Xiaoqi [Ehudu], and each lieutenant above the sergeant level would receive one. After all, on the water, this vine armor is much more useful than leather armor.

There is also a piece of Green Blood Vine Armor, whose properties are similar to those of the Green Jade Gourd Vine Armor.

After seeing it, Zhao Zhen praised the manager Tao Youda and rewarded the craftsmen who participated.

Nowadays, the bamboo craftsmen in the workshop can be regarded as the busiest craftsmen, weaving either bamboo mats or rattan armor. In a few days, after ordinary rattan is processed, ordinary rattan armor will also be woven.

After sending Tao Youda away, Zhao Zhen did not hesitate and immediately sent someone to take the blood vine armor and several loads of wine and meat and took a boat to Donglou Village in Qinglong Mountain.

Ruan Xiaoqi followed Zhao Zhen to the water fort and asked, "Master, is there anything you need today?"

Zhao Zhen said, "Brother, I brought some wine and meat. I came to visit your camp today. First, I want to comfort the soldiers for their hard work patrolling the lake every day. Second, I haven't drunk with you for a long time. Let's get drunk together today."

Ruan Xiaoqi said happily: "Sir, please sit down for a moment. I will have someone clean it up."

After a while, Ruan Xiaoqi came up with a few soldiers, carrying some fresh fish, tender chicken, and a few fruit plates. They opened the good wine that Zhao Zhen brought. Zhao Ji and Jia Shan accompanied them, and the four of them sat around and started drinking.

After three rounds of drinking, the beef and mutton that Zhao Zhen brought were cooked. As soon as they were served, Ruan Xiaoqi sighed, "If I hadn't taken refuge with the great master, I would probably never have the chance to eat meat and drink to my heart's content in this lifetime."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "With your martial arts skills, there is no place you can't go."

Jia Shan, who was standing by, heard this and said, "The captain's ability in the water is unmatched anywhere in the world. But I'm afraid it can't be compared to what's happening here. Jiazhuang has lived on plunder for generations, and their lives are getting poorer and poorer."

Ruan Xiaoqi also said: "Brother Ouyang Shoutong's ability in the water is not inferior to my three brothers, and his horsemanship is not inferior to others. It's hard for him to support his family."

"The last time I saw my fifth brother, he has returned to Shijie Lake and is looking very proud. I've been patrolling the lake all day, but I haven't seen any ignorant people coming here." Ruan Xiaoqi said as he picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Sir, when there is another war, don't forget me."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "How could I forget my brothers? Didn't you see that I brought some blood vine armor this time? This armor is not ordinary vine armor, it won't catch fire easily. You are all brave men who dare to fight, and you will certainly be useful in the future."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen raised his glass.

Zhao Zhen stayed in the water fort that day and spent the night.

On the second day, Zhao Zhen got up, walked around in the courtyard, practiced a set of boxing techniques, and then ate the breakfast brought by Zhao Ji.

After breakfast, Zhao Zhen planned to say goodbye to Ruan Xiaoqi and go back. Just as he was about to board the ship, Zhao Zhen pointed to the fishing boats returning to the dock in the distance and said, "Qilang, why do the fishing boats here come back so early?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said, "Sir, in addition to fishing, every household in Donglou Village has fields. Most of them set the nets at night, retrieve them in the morning, and go again in the evening. They get quite a lot every day. After you opened the door to collect fish, some people began to make a living by fishing. After selling the fish, these fishermen go to the deep waters of the lake and use big hooks with meat as bait to troll and catch big fish. Sir, you should go and take a look, this is the time to collect fish."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said with a smile: "Let's go and have a look together. I have never seen fish being harvested before."

Zhao Zhen followed Ruan Xiaoqi onto the boat. Zhao Ji and several other farmhands also boarded several speedboats. Ruan Xiaoqi rowed the boat gently, and the boat flew out.

Arriving at the Qinglou Village wharf, Zhao Zhen went ashore and watched the fishermen clamoring to sell their fish. Some of the fishermen recognized Ruan Xiaoqi, and the brave ones even came up to say hello.

Two clerks weighing fish saw the commotion, turned around and saw Zhao Zhen standing behind them, and hurried over to pay their respects. Zhao Zhen waved his hand, signaling the two to continue weighing the fish. The fishermen also gathered around and came ashore to greet him. Zhao Zhen said, "No need to be polite, you can go and sell the fish yourself."

After hearing this, all the fishermen dispersed. After watching for a while, Zhao Zhen saw two clerks picking and choosing, only accepting fish weighing more than 7-8 jin, and not taking the rest.

Only then did Zhao Zhen understand why the fish he brought back to the main world were all of these types, with not many crucian carps.

After selling the fish, the fishermen were not in a hurry to go home. They stood far away with their fish baskets.

Zhao Zhen stepped forward, and when Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhao Ji and others saw him, they hurriedly followed.

Zhao Zhen caught a fisherman with a gray beard and asked, "Old man, how was your catch today?"

The old man who was asked was stunned after hearing what was said, and said haltingly: "Today I only caught a 17-jin grass carp. The rest were all miscellaneous fish that I can only keep for myself." As he spoke, he lifted the fish basket at his feet.

"What kind of fish are in there?"

"There were seven or eight palm-sized crucian carps, a three-jin snakehead, and the rest were small miscellaneous fish."

As he spoke, he opened the fish basket and poured out the fish inside.

Zhao Zhen looked at the fish on the ground and asked, "Why aren't you selling these fish?"

The fisherman asked, "Don't you just want big fish?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard this. He called over two clerks who were collecting fish and pointed at the fish on the ground and asked, "Why aren't you collecting these palm-sized crucian carps?"

The tall clerk said, "Sir, the government has ordered that all fish collected must be over five catties in weight. Fish that are too small will not be accepted."

Zhao Zhen scolded him, "Nonsense! Take this crucian carp for example. If it can grow to more than one jin, it is considered a big one. If we collect it according to this standard, can we get any crucian carp?"

The two clerks looked at each other and dared not say a word.

Zhao Zhen thought that he couldn't blame the clerk who collected the fish entirely, after all, he was doing it according to the government's request.

So he said, "It's not your fault. There is something wrong with this purchase order. From today on, as long as the fish are grown, we can buy them. Zhao Ji, go back and tell Zhao Xing, who is in charge of purchasing fish, and change everything else. Not only fish, but also shrimps, crabs, snails, and turtles, as long as they are grown, we will buy them."

The fishermen cheered loudly, took out the live fish from their baskets, and lined up to have them weighed.

The people are loyal, luck +3.

After a burst of commotion, it turned out that the tall clerk had collected a carp with four whiskers.

The clerk shouted, "One carp with four whiskers, ten strings of cash." The fishermen came forward to see who was so lucky. This carp with four whiskers was worth two months' harvest.

Zhao Zhen was also happy when he heard that four carps had been received.

Zhao Zhen did not go to see it either. Just as he was about to board the boat and leave, there was another commotion. He heard a fisherman say, "The senior official said that we should catch the fish as soon as they grow big. Why don't you take my fish?"

Another shorter clerk said, "Your fish is not even as thick as my finger. Isn't it a fish fry?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask Ruan Xiaoqi who was standing beside him, "What kind of fish is this small?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said uncertainly: "Wheat ears? I'll go take a look."

Ruan Xiaoqi walked over, took out a small fish from the fish basket, and walked towards him. When Zhao Zhen looked at it, he saw that the fish was indeed not even as thick as his little finger.

Liangshan Silverfish (special product, when King Gou Jian of Yue was defending Kuaiji, he was chopping fish into sashimi. When he heard about the Wu army, he threw the remaining fish into the river. It turned into fish, but still in the shape of sashimi, so it was named sashimi, also known as Wang Yu fish.)
Eat one pound, strength +1 (shaped like a hairpin, jade-colored, transparent, fresh and delicious meat, for those with less than 30 strength, only effective for the first time)

Unexpectedly, the spiritual object I had been looking for was actually seen here.
