Not to mention, the distance just now was far, and the fish tank was transparent, and Mayor Wallis was wearing blue clothes today. Jiang Hai really didn't see it clearly. Now that he was closer, Jiang Hai found that There is indeed something in this large fish tank.

The main color of this thing is blue, it is only about three or four centimeters long, and it has white lines on its body.

It looks like a long blue and white strip with six huge holes growing on it. It looks really beautiful and mysterious.

Subconsciously, Jiang Hai stretched out his hand, wanting to touch this thing.

"Hey!" But as soon as Jiang Hai stretched out his hand, Mayor Wallis stopped him.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I haven't seen this little thing before. It's really pretty." If you don't look carefully, you would really ignore this little thing, but this thing is really pretty.

"It's not that you are not allowed to touch it, but this thing is highly poisonous. They use jellyfish as food, and their bodies store many kinds of jellyfish toxins. If you are poisoned by it, it will be almost impossible to live, because no one knows , what kind of poison did you get?" Looking at Jiang Hai, Mayor Wallis said seriously. He remembered that Jiang Hai had a fishing ground. Although this kind of dangerous creature is rare along the coast of the United States, it is It happens occasionally, and if you get stung, you'll be in trouble.

"It's so powerful. What is this? A sea slug?" Upon hearing Mayor Wallis's words, Jiang Hai was also startled and retracted his hand with some enthusiasm. It seems that the laws of nature are really like that. The good-looking ones are not to be trifled with.

"It can be considered a kind of sea slug. This thing is called Blue Dragon, also called Petrel. Its scientific name is Atlantic Poseidon Slug." Hearing that Jiang Hai was quite interested in this thing, Mayor Wallis walked and talked to him. Jiang Hai said.

The name of this creature evolved from the name of the sea god Glaucus in ancient Greek mythology.

Some people say that the sea god in Greek mythology is not Poseidon? But in fact, Poseidon is the king of the sea, he is just a god of the sea. There are dimensional differences in levels... According to legend, Glaucus was originally an ordinary fisherman.

But one day, he desperately discovered a herb that could bring fish back to life, and then his ghost of death began to activate.

After taking this herb. He turned into a mermaid, half human and half fish, divided into three forms, the left is a human, the right is a fish, and the upper part is the lower body of a human. The bottom is the lower body of the fish, the top is the human head, and the bottom is the fish head... Well, I'm getting too far away.

Anyway, in the end he was not a good story. The main myths and gossip about him were the love triangle with the water nymph Scylla and the witch Circe. But his appearance was that in 1777, he was the number one scientist in Europe. After discovering the Poseidon Slug for the first time, he borrowed his name. Poseidon!

Over the years, this kind of slug has been found in many places. There are traces of this kind of slug in Africa, Europe, Australia, and Mozambique, not only in the Atlantic Ocean, but also in the Pacific Ocean. It's just that we are used to it. So it has always been called Atlantic Poseidon.

Because this kind of creature can have sex with itself, mate and reproduce by itself, the population size is not too small.

So even though this creature is highly toxic. But their beautiful appearance still makes many people willing to keep them as pets.

Naturally, there are no rich people with such leisure in Winthrop Town. Although Jiang Hai thinks this thing is quite beautiful, to be honest, he still prefers beasts, so it is a toy. He just asked.

If you go into the sea in the future, you should stay away if you see this thing. You can't afford to provoke it.

When Mayor Wallis explained the origin of the blue dragon, they unknowingly walked from the town to the seaside.

At this time, many people have gathered at the beach, including Robbins who drove over. In addition, there are many people gathered here. On the beach, there are many camps and small tents. There were a lot of old goods, which would be used for trading later. Jiang Hai also glanced at them when he left. Most of them were discarded household appliances and the like.

The disposal of old home appliances in the United States is a very troublesome thing, because it does not mean that you just throw them away. Every old home appliance needs to be dismantled separately, and even has to be sent to the treatment plant yourself. Some items are recycled. , and even add money.

This is hard to accept for Americans who are inherently lazy, but the punishment here is too severe.

If you are caught littering, you will not only be deducted money, but may even go to jail. Therefore, in the United States, there are always a lot of second-hand goods.

Some people will not throw away their old things after replacing them with new ones. Because of the trouble, most of them will be piled at the door or in a warehouse. If a homeless person takes a fancy to them, they can just move them away.

If the old goods are newer and at least have some value, they will be sent to such flea markets.

Jiang Hai glanced at it and saw that there were so many things placed here.

There are old home appliances, refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, air conditioners, water heaters, etc., and old game consoles of all kinds, including PS, handheld, X-wave, and even the legendary Famicom. etc.

Old clothes, down jackets, even fur coats, some cloths, small ornaments, old books, old water cups, old computers, etc., almost looking at it, this place is really like a department store, as long as you think about it Everything you want to buy is available here.

But the premise is that these things are not valuable and are very worn out.

When Jiang Hai was looking at this place, Mayor Wallis over there had already walked to the stage. After reading a memorial poem loudly, he poured the fish tank in his hand into the sea water. The blue dragon he caught also Swimming into the sea, as everyone shouted, the festival was over this time, and all that was left was time to exchange what was needed.

Jiang Hai also immediately spoke to Robbins and plunged into the old goods.

However, Jiang Hai would not let his stomach suffer. Before visiting this flea market, he bought a Mexican tortilla and ate it while walking, looking at the various things around him.

For Jiang Hai, he actually lacks nothing. Although Moses Adams is paying Jiang poster taxes recently, he has not had much income since he took over the fishery in October last year. State taxes no longer exist. After all, taxes can be deducted only if you have income, and no tax can be deducted if you have no income.

Jiang Hai's gold coins were traded privately and were not included in the tax bill. Of course, if he wanted to take the initiative to report the crime, the US imperialist government would still be very happy. However, if the US imperialist government was happy, there might be trouble from the British side. , after all, what Jiang Hai salvaged was British gold coins, so there were a lot of things going on. Jiang Hai was not stupid, so he went to pay a small fee.

There is no need to pay personal tax, no marketing tax, and no income tax. The only thing he has to pay is local tax. However, because he took over in October, he only needs to pay it for half a year, and because Jiang Hai raises cattle, this can be considered To stimulate local development, this will be reduced a bit. Jiang Hai hired more than 20 people, more than a dozen of whom were locals, and the local taxes will be discounted. In addition, he hired nine special people, so he also There will be some further reductions.

Added together, according to the calculations of the accountant hired by Moses Adams, Jiang Hai only needs to pay US dollars this year, and after the tax return, 50 US dollars will be returned to Jiang Hai to purchase the animal husbandry. Paddle and fish food.

Although more than one million U.S. dollars is a lot of money, it is not much compared to the more than four million U.S. dollars that Jiang Hai originally calculated.

So after Jiang Hai paid the money, he still had a lot of money left, enough for him to buy whatever he wanted.

Wandering here at this time is just to see what fun things there are.

However, after taking a quick look, Jiang Hai was not interested in many things. He was not interested in old home appliances, game consoles, motors, fishing nets, clothes, etc. What he was really interested in were some handicrafts and books.

The so-called handicrafts are mainly wood carvings. These things are said to be carved by Indians, in fact, they were carved by the Iroquois people that Jiang Hai had seen. After spreading, they are indeed fun to collect.

Jiang Hai picked some more beautiful ones, such as carved eagles, deers, mountain lions, etc. He bought more than a dozen sculptures. These things can be placed in his own house. Normally, he will give them to him as soon as he looks at them. It gives a very stylish feeling.

Just as Jiang Hai was collecting these wooden sculptures and preparing to leave, a sudden burst of shouting came into his ears.

"Treasure map, come and see the treasure map, a treasure map left over from the real pirate period." Following the voice, Jiang Hai found that the person hawking there was a big man. This big man looked like he had some wealth. More than two meters tall, with a big beard, he was holding a cloth made of cowhide and waving it there.

As for this guy, Jiang Hai had seen him before. He was also a fisherman. When he went to sell fish, Jiang Hai had met him a few times, but had not communicated with him. When he heard his words, Jiang Hai There were some surprises.

In fact, Jiang Hai has been somewhat interested in these treasures and the like since he got those gold coins last time.

It's just that if he doesn't confirm where the ships are, the ocean is so big that it's not easy to find them.

The second reason is that Jiang Hai thinks that he has no ability to protect himself in the sea. If he encounters a sea monster or the like, he will be doomed. However, being afraid does not mean that he is not interested. Now that he hears something Treasure map, Jiang Hai slowly came over.

As soon as he saw Jiang Hai coming, the big man couldn't help but stop selling and looked at Jiang Hai with a smile on his face. (To be continued.)
