Chapter 102: Fishing for Peaches

That night, ten young men followed Li Banfeng and Ma Wu to Xindi.

Along the way, ten people carried ten sacks of stinky fish.

These were the dead fish that Li Banfeng bought from the market last night. They were tied in bags and placed under the sun. After a day of stuffiness and wind, they could stink for more than ten meters.

It was not easy for the ten young men to walk this way. A big man with dark skin had his face smoked white after walking less than two miles.

"Are these two people going to Xindi to fish for peaches? Otherwise, why would they bring such stinky fish?"

Another handsome young man in blue nodded and said, "Looking at this season, they should go to fish for peaches, but they can't do this job and can't make money at all!"

A skinny young man in yellow shirt said, "Why do you care whether they make money or not? We just make money. We will negotiate the price with them later. We have to pay the market price for picking peaches, otherwise we won't do it."

Tuyu peach, one of the most common prey in Xindi, Lanyang Village.

Ma Wu was indeed going to take them to fish for peaches.

The group walked all the way to the southernmost end of the village. There were no houses here, and occasionally a few tents could be seen.

Many people didn't even have tents, and they just slept on the ground.

It was hard to say what would come out at the edge of the new land. If they slept well tonight, they might not even have a body left the next morning.

These people basically lost the hope of survival. They were lucky to have food to eat. They lived next to the new land because there was really no other place to sleep, and they couldn't even get a place under the bridge.

The group left the village and entered a forest.

This forest didn't look special, except that the branches and leaves were lush. The group walked to the center of the forest. Under the command of Ma Wu, five young men opened ten sacks of stinky fish and put them on the ground.

The twelve people took their positions, with ten young men guarding the upwind slope, and Li Banfeng and Ma Wu guarding the leeward slope.

Ma Wu has been comforting Li Banfeng: "Brother Li, this peach tree must be coming from the downwind slope. We have to keep an eye on it so that we can give them orders later."

Li Banfeng's face turned pale and he said, "Don't talk. I'll vomit if you talk again."

"Brother Li, it's not that serious. I smell it okay!"

"If you talk again, I'll vomit on you."

It's not that Li Banfeng is being pretentious. He has a special sense of smell. He is in a downwind position. The smell of stinky fish pouring into his nostrils is about to kill Li Banfeng.

At 4:30 in the morning, it was almost dawn, and there was finally movement in the woods.

Squeak~Gagaga~

Something is moving between the trees.

Li Banfeng quietly put on the wire earrings and activated the skill of understanding spiritual sounds, wanting to hear the other party's voice.

Squeak~

A sharp cry made Li Banfeng's eardrum hurt. When he calmed down, Li Banfeng heard a roar under the sharp cry.

"Fragrant, really fragrant~"

Fragrant?

Li Banfeng really wanted to have a good discussion with the other party.

Brush~

The leaves rustled.

Ma Wu reminded everyone to be prepared.

A jade peach tree was approaching them, and Li Banfeng could vaguely smell the fragrance of peach blossoms in the stench.

Cluck, cluck~

The sound of the bark rubbing continued, and a "giant python" with a diameter of more than one meter slowly moved under the tree.

If it was the first time to come to the new land of Lanyang Village, seeing such a thick python would definitely scare a little.

But many of these guys have done the business of fishing for peaches, and they know that this is not a python, but the root of a jade peach tree.

This root seems to be the nose of the peach tree, and it is looking around for smells.

When passing by Li Banfeng, the root did not react at all, and the second-floor house repair was automatically ignored.

When passing by Ma Wu, the root reacted.

It climbed up the branch and came to Ma Wu, and the fine roots slowly grew on Ma Wu.

Ma Wu's face was sweating.

He was very scared. Although he had experience in fishing for peaches, experience did not mean that there would be no accidents.

The Tuyu peach tree was a tree. It did not have much intelligence, but its combat power was not low. If the roots entangled Ma Wu, a Huan Xiu who had not reached a higher level would be an appetizer for the peach tree.

After waiting for a while, the roots stopped entangled Ma Wu and ran towards the pile of stinky fish under the tree.

The peach tree knew that there was a person nearby, but the attraction of this person could not be compared with that of the stinky fish.

The thick roots plunged into the pile of stinky fish and sucked frantically.

The peach tree kept shouting from the wire earrings: "Fragrant, so fragrant!"

Not long after, several more roots plunged into the pile of stinky fish, and the pile of stinky fish was getting shorter at a visible speed.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ma Wu led everyone to follow the roots and found the peach tree hidden nearby.

This peach tree was big enough for three people to hug, and a wooden house could be easily built on the huge tree crown.

Under the tree, the root system is exposed. The dense roots extend beyond the normal person's sight.

This tree has just arrived in this forest.

Li Banfeng is very curious. How can such a big tree act in such a lush forest?

Now is not the time to think about these things. Time is very tight.

Twelve people, each carrying a cloth bag, while the peach tree is eating stinky fish, they jump to the peach tree as fast as possible.

Above the tree canopy, under the peach leaves, the fist-sized earth jade peach is their target.

The peach tree trembled a few times, just like a person suddenly has a few more fleas on his body, and he feels a little uncomfortable.

Two young men almost fell under the tree and were pulled up by Li Banfeng and Ma Wu.

When fishing for peaches, the more hands the better, not only the efficiency of picking peaches is high. And they also take care of each other.

You must not fall down and fall among the roots. A big living person will be eaten in a blink of an eye, even the bones will be left.

Peach tree quickly calmed down and ignored the fleas on his body, concentrating on eating the smelly fish.

Now is the best time to pick peaches, so move quickly. How many peaches can be picked before the peach trees eat all the fish depends on their ability.

Li Banfeng was the fastest, not only with his hands, but also with his feet. The traveling cultivator could shuttle between the branches with ease. In a short time, he picked two bags full of peaches.

Others don't move so fast. They have to be careful every time they pick a peach. If their feet are unstable, they have to rely on the people around them to hold them up and give them a tug.

Everyone barely picked up a bag, and more than 70% of the pile of smelly fish had been eaten by the peach trees.

Ma Wu glanced at Stinky Fish and shouted: "Retreat!"

Everyone packed their bags and quickly left the peach tree.

It'll be too late if you don't leave.

Tuyutao has a very mixed diet. It loves smelly fish the most, but it doesn't mind eating anything else.

Everyone left the woods at a very fast speed, and halfway there, Li Banfeng stood on the treetop and glanced at the location of the peach tree.

The peach tree disappeared, I don’t know how, it was as if it had never been there.

Was this peach tree cultivated or cultivated by oneself?

This matter is unknown.

The hunting ended tonight, and they were lucky enough to encounter a Tuyu peach tree.

What if you can't meet it?

Then even if this trip was in vain, the hired workers must be paid, and the smelly fish can barely stay until tomorrow night, and this business trip will be considered a loss.

Everyone returned to Lanyang Village, and while walking on the road, they met a breakfast vendor. Ma Wu bought fried dough sticks and fried cakes and distributed them to everyone.

Seeing Ma Wu and others leaving, the breakfast seller quickly closed the stall and sent a message to Tang Tianjin, the chief steward of the Song family.

After Tang Tianjin received the news, he immediately told the head of the Song family - Song Jiasen.

Buying breakfast is such a big deal, do you have to tell the owner of the house?

Being early is not a big deal, the focus is on the peach.

"Master, the fifth young master of the Ma family has taken people to hunt in a new land."

In Lanyang Village, hunting is one of the most important sources of income for the villagers.

Lanyang Village is the territory of the Song family. If you go hunting in the new land, you must greet the Song family in advance, and the hunting items must be shipped to the Song family.

Ma Wu went hunting without saying hello to the Song family. This was considered an offense to the Song family.

Song Jiasen took a sip of tea, ate some snacks, and asked, "What did he hunt?"

"Tu Yutao hired ten people and caught more than a dozen bags."

Song Jiasen pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "What is he doing hunting peaches? This business is not something he can do. He can't make any money."

The butler said: "Master, we don't care whether he makes money or not, but what he did was unethical. He went to pick peaches without saying hello to us. He didn't take us seriously."

Song Jiasen laughed and said: "A few days ago, Ma Junyang had no money to pay rent and lived in a shack. In the past few days, he got some money from somewhere and moved into a small building.

This rich young man just can't bear the hardship. The place he lives in is good, but if he pays the rent, he may not be able to survive anymore.

Let him take these peaches away. When he comes to us to ship the goods, we will pay him the going price. He knows that there is no money to be made in this matter, so he will not do it again in the future. "

"Master, the Ma family has many connections in the city. Although Ma Wu was kicked out of the house, the foundation has not been completely broken. What should we do if he doesn't ask us to ship the goods?"

Song Jiasen picked up the tea bowl, took another sip, and said calmly: "Then we can't tolerate him. If he doesn't ask us to ship the goods, he won't even be able to bring a single peach out of Lanyang Village."

…

Ma Wu led everyone back to his residence, each carrying a bag and weighing them one by one.

Ma Wu pays one hundred yuan for a pound of peaches. This is the going rate for picking peaches in the new land of Lanyang Village.

Someone was quick and picked fifty kilograms and received five thousand yuan.

Someone was slow and picked ten kilograms and got a thousand yuan.

More than a dozen bags of peaches, totaling more than 380 kilograms, were given out for a total of more than 30,000 yuan, excluding Li Banfeng and Ma Wu.

What are these peaches used for?

The pulp of Tuyu peach is an auxiliary material for alchemy, and the peach core is a good medicinal material.

How much can these peaches cost?

According to the purchase price of the Song family, it is one hundred yuan per catty.

This thing is funny. I charge 100 yuan per catty and sell it for 100 yuan per catty. I didn’t make any money in this business.

Not only did I not make any money, I also lost money.

It costs money to buy smelly fish!

In Lanyang Village, the only people who make money by picking peaches are the Song family, because they sell the peaches in the city for 500 yuan per pound, a huge profit of five times.

But can Ma Wu take Tao Zi out?

cannot.

It was impossible for the Song family to watch Ma Wu carrying more than a dozen bags of peaches out of the village. This would be equivalent to cutting off the Song family's financial resources and slapping the Song family in the face.

So what's Ma Wu's purpose in doing this business?

The handsome young man in blue asked, "Boss, don't you want to sell peaches to the Song family again? Let me remind you, you won't make any money from this."

Ma Wu smiled and said: "Boss Song is my friend. You guys can't make money, but I am different."

The young man didn't dare to ask any more questions, and everyone took the money and left.

There were only two people left in the wooden house, Li Banfeng fetching water, and Ma Wu soaking peaches.

After soaking for more than an hour, seven to eight hundred worms floated on the water.

Tuyu peaches have a high sugar content and can easily attract insects.

Ma Wu picked out more than 50 spotted caterpillars from 700 to 800 worms and gave them to Li Banfeng.

"This worm is called tiger louse. Brother Li, please keep it safe."

Li Banfeng put away the caterpillars and went to the market to buy fish.

Ma Wu took the peaches and went to the Song family to ship them.

PS: Banfeng has the skill of Baiwei Linglong, and the lethality of stinky fish is really great.
