Chapter 4 Purchase of Fish Fry

Time passed quickly, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Three days ago, Fang Yun opened up a fairy house in his body. Although the fairy house did not have the function of promoting the rapid growth of plants, it also gave Fang Yun a great surprise.

First of all, it was the river with endless water sources. Although the river water in it had little spiritual energy, drinking it to promote cultivation could only be said to be better than nothing, just like the amount of spiritual energy increased by the wooden house.

In short, it was useless!

But the river water obviously had a greater role. It was a special resource in the fairy house, equivalent to a spiritual spring with shallow spiritual energy. It was used to grow spiritual plants and raise spiritual fish. It was perfect.

Although there were plans, everything still had to be done with caution. His cultivation broke through the fourth level by taking the opportunity of drinking river water for the first time. In fact, his cultivation had already reached the perfection of the third level of Qi Refining.

Now there is a panel to check his data, so there is no need to rush.

Although he took a day off, and got his own golden finger, he was in a state of surprise.

But he never forgot that he was still a small cultivator with 40% Qi Refining. In this East Lake where there were so many strong men, he was just a kitten. He had to be cautious and tread on thin ice and practice harder.

If you work for the Li family and contract a fish pond to raise fish, you have to provide a sufficient number of fish every month. For example, the number of red-eyed carp is 20, while the number of Juling crucian carp is only 10.

Fang Yun has already handed in this month's share. I still remember that Li Guanshi was mean 31 years ago. He was simply making up a story and finding faults in the egg. He used the reason that he privately raised iron-toothed fish to make him pay one spirit stone every month to settle the matter.

And Li Dongchen was bullying the market. With such behavior, these guys followed suit and took bribes. They were really not human.

The fish pond that Fang Yun contracted in the Li family was connected by four small ponds. Each fish pond had 40 red-eyed carp. If there were more, these red-eyed carp would get angry.

Red-eyed carp is a first-class medium-quality spiritual fish. Although it is not very smart, it has its own personality. If the living environment makes it unhappy, it will grow and mature very slowly.

Although red-eyed carp is only a first-class medium-quality spiritual fish, it has many uses. Not only is the meat very delicious, but after the cultivators eat red-eyed carp, the pure spiritual energy contained in it will be absorbed by the cultivators, thereby helping the cultivators to improve their own cultivation and accelerate the process of cultivation.

Therefore, it is deeply loved by major immortal buildings, and many spiritual chefs also like to use it to cook delicious food.

Red-eyed carp can also be used to refine pills. Red-eyed carp and special spiritual materials can be used to refine red spiritual pills. This pill has the function of replenishing spiritual energy and healing injuries, which is of great benefit to the cultivation of cultivators.

Cultivating this thing requires painstaking effort and does not allow any slackness. Fang Yun has very little time for cultivation this year.

The normal maturity time of red-eyed carp is eight months. There are a total of 160 spiritual fish in the four fish ponds, which is the minimum number that each fisherman needs to cultivate.

The number of 20 fishes delivered every month is just right. Of course, there are sometimes some shortages. After all, it is impossible for every spiritual fish to grow up safely. There will always be some that die for various reasons, so they have to bear the losses themselves.

Purchase more fry to supplement. The fry sold by the Li family have been specially treated and cannot be bred at all. This is the restriction method of the Li family. Naturally, they cannot leak out the source of their survival.

Not to mention the red-eyed carp, even the iron-toothed fish does not sell breeding methods. Only adult fish and fish species are sold in the market.

After all, this is a family craft that can be passed down. Who would sell it to outsiders?

Speaking of which, it’s time to replenish the fry.

In the past three days, in addition to consolidating his cultivation, Fang Yun has been cleaning the fish pond. In addition, he enters the fairy house space every day to explore various places in it, and he is busy all day.

Now! Finally, I have calmed down and started to return to the normal rhythm of life.

At this time, he felt that his strength had improved a lot. Not only was his spiritual power more abundant, but his control over magic was also more proficient.

He decided to go out of retreat, to find some spiritual objects that were more suitable for planting, and to buy some fish fry, and began to build his own immortal residence.

After thinking about it, Fang Yun went straight to the Dongcheng Market on Donghu Island. This time he did not go to the place where he set up a stall, but came to a small house that looked inconspicuous.

As soon as he entered the house, he felt that this place was more abundant in water than other places, and he heard many strange noises like bubbles bursting. At this time, there were many people coming and going, especially an acquaintance.

"Hey, Uncle Wang, are you here to buy fish fry too?"

The man was a middle-aged cultivator in his forties, with a hunched back and dressed like an old farmer.

"Fang boy, you are here too, hey, you have reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, congratulations!"

Seeing this person, Fang Yun smiled. This person was not his neighbor, but he had a friendship with his father, and they were considered close friends.

After his father passed away, he often helped Fang Yun.

"Yes, thank you Uncle Wang!"

"Oh, why are you saying this? Come to my house for a drink some other day. I'll cook you two good dishes. I'll go back first and put the fish fry back into the pond."

"Hahaha, okay, I'll bother you again some other day, Uncle Wang!"

"Okay, okay."

Wang Ming tightened the spiritual bag in his hand and walked away.

Fang Yun also stepped into the courtyard and saw a slightly fat monk sitting on a rocking chair. Behind him was a strong man holding a large cattail leaf fan and fanning him.

The fat monk was the manager of the fish farm around Fang Yun, Li Lingfu.

All the fish farmers here, including other fishermen's stalls and dock stalls in the city, are under his jurisdiction. He is responsible for the amount paid by all fish farmers every month and the division of the contracted fish ponds.

Moreover, according to legend, he was a monk in the late stage of Qi refining. To put it bluntly, if he wanted to crush Fang Yun to death, it would be as easy as crushing an ant to death.

"So it's Mr. Fang. Are you here to bring in fish fry again?"

Looking at Li Lingfu's fat face and thinking of the extra spiritual stone he handed over every month, Fang Yun could only feel itchy with hatred, but unfortunately he had to put a smile on his face.

"Manager Li, I would like to bring in twenty-two more carp seedlings and get two more months of feed. Also, thanks to Manager Li's care, my previous business can continue to operate normally. Thank you very much, Manager Li."

Fang Yun smiled, and then quietly handed over the small bag containing several spiritual stones.

Manager Li picked up the bag, weighed it carefully, squinted his eyes, and then smiled.

If you work for the Li family to raise fish, as long as you complete the amount of adult fish you turn in, you will have a monthly quota of twenty fry, which you can receive at a fixed rate, as well as a fixed amount of fish feed, all free of charge.

After all, you are working for the Li family, and all the profits belong to the Li family. It is impossible to spend money to buy fry and raise fish for them.

You know, if the fry of the red-eyed carp are sold to other outsiders, they are just one fry for a piece of spiritual stone. If you do this as fish farmers, they, the casual laborers, are not allowed to pay it back to your grandma's house. They are workers, not contractors.

Fang Yun has to pay a "fine" every month because he built a private fish pond. There are many people like him, and this is a big gray income.

If you buy extra fish fry, you have to make up the price difference yourself, because only twenty fish fry can be received for free.

On the surface, each person can only take in two more fish per month. This is a loss that the Li family can accept. If you add more, it is estimated that other people will come to visit the status of your fish pond.

The Li family's measures to curb the outflow of their own specialty products are almost harsh. First of all, the fish fry are castrated and cannot be bred. Secondly, stalls other than the Li family's stalls are strictly prohibited from selling red-eye carp and Juling crucian carp in the market. .

This means that even if workers like Fang Yun have the energy to raise excess mature spiritual fish, they can only recycle them to the Li family and cannot sell them privately, otherwise they will be severely punished if caught.

The last thing is the quantity of fry purchased. For example, the number of fry they buy every month is calculated. Generally speaking, when fish farmers purchase fry, there is a difference of one or two, which is understandable.

After all, breeding is risky!

Regardless of whether the fish died of illness, accident, or you caught it yourself and ate it, as long as you have the confidence to complete the monthly share you must pay and the ability to make up the difference in the price of the fry, you can absolutely catch two and eat them yourself. .

But once the number increases, everyone can tell that something is wrong. It would be strange if the Li family doesn't trouble you.

Let’s go a step further and return to reality.

There were five spirit stones in the bag that Fang Yun handed over this time. One spirit stone was a fine, and the other two spirit stones were the price difference that needed to be made up for the purchase of fry.

The last two spirit stones were offered as gifts for him to set up a stall. As mentioned before, Manager Li was still in charge of the stalls in Fangshi. Without his consent, his fish stall would not be able to set up at all.

Three of the five spiritual stones were to be put into Manager Li's pocket. No wonder he couldn't help but smile when he looked at Fang Yun.

"Yeah, okay."

Li Lingfu waved his hand and the bag was put into his waist. In the yard, a servant immediately walked out with a spiritual energy bag in his left hand. There were twenty-two fresh red-eye carp fry inside.

In addition, he also carried two large bags of feed in his right hand.

It was handed directly to Fang Yun, who quickly reached out to take it, then thanked him and left.

"Oh, the fourth level of Qi refining."

Manager Li smiled, then narrowed his eyes again, and the servant behind him fanned even more vigorously.

As soon as he went out, Fang Yun felt that the excitement of the past few days had passed in an instant.

Three spiritual stones were blackmailed in vain, and he was indeed a Li Bapi whose hair had been plucked by geese and left traces by human beings.

He tightened the spiritual energy bag in his hand. He had to quickly go to the market to buy other things he needed, and then quickly put the fry into the fish pond. The red-eyed carp was very tight, and there was only a small amount of water and spiritual energy in the spiritual energy bag. It took a long time. , I'm afraid the fry will suffer losses.

Immediately, he walked away without stopping.
