NOVEL WEB Chapter 22 Fish stall
"Ah Shan is here."
A young man in his twenties who looked roughly similar to Jiang Cheng but was taller stood up to greet him.
"Brother Ting, I feel stronger after a long time."
Zhou Shan smiled and said.
Jiang Zhenyong was a good fisherman and would often go out fishing. The two would meet sometimes, while Jiang Cheng worked as a waiter at a fishing gear shop in the fish market, so they could see each other every day.
But Jiang Ting joined the fishing gang's river patrol team, and the two basically never met each other.
The river patrol team is the armed organization of the fishing gang.
The main task is to patrol the river and maintain the order of the river.
In the Baisha River, there are not only fishermen, but also water monsters and water thieves.
The task of the river patrol team is to cooperate with the warriors to kill the water monsters that appear in the Baisha River and eat the fishermen, and to exterminate the water thieves in the Baisha River. The dangers can be imagined.
The leader of the river patrol team has the status of a river patrol envoy and is a ninth-grade official.
Therefore, joining the river patrol team is equivalent to having half the establishment.
Similar to auxiliary police.
Jiang Ting is the little boss and oversees more than a dozen people.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. You have changed a lot. Not only are you a good fisherman, but you have also become a quasi-martial artist. You defeated Li Tieniu. Now you are quite famous in Guyu Street."
Jiang Ting said with some emotion.
When he heard that Zhou Shan had become a quasi-warrior, he was also a little surprised.
He entered the martial arts hall to practice, and had the master of the martial arts hall to transmit his energy. He felt the energy and blood within a month. However, Zhou Shan actually bought the secret books and practiced without the guidance of the master and became a quasi-martial artist. It may be said that he is gifted. .
In the entire Baisha County, there are 8,000 fishermen in every village and town, if not 10,000. Every year, no one knows that there are fishermen who have saved more than ten years of money to practice martial arts in martial arts halls.
But more than 99% of them leave the martial arts gym in despair after a month. Good prospects who can become talents may not be able to make up the number of hands every year, let alone self-taught.
Over the years, apart from Zhou Shan, no one among the fishermen has ever been heard of who could become self-taught.
"This is because Li Tieniu was careless. I have practiced a martial art that can instantly condense the power of blood and energy to overwhelm people with force. The explosive power is amazing. Li Tieniu, the rogue, was caught off guard and was defeated by me with one move."
With that said, Zhou Shan used the gravel fist that reached the level of proficiency.
Whoops!
In a moment of thought, the majestic power of Qi and blood gathered towards Zhou Shan's right hand, condensing into a force, and then punched out violently, and a fierce punching wind immediately aroused.
The force of this punch is enough to knock an adult several meters away.
"What a powerful force!"
Seeing Zhou Shan's punch, Jiang Ting's pupils shrank slightly.
Judging from the power unleashed by this punch, if he had not prepared in advance, there was a high probability that he would not be able to catch it.
"Ah Shan, your martial arts talent is stronger than mine." Jiang Ting said: "It's a pity that as low-level fishermen, we are born with limitations. If we come from a wealthy family, we don't have to worry about training resources and use our talent. With the qualifications, one can definitely complete the blood boost in a short period of time, start the next stage of practice, and become a martial artist."
For some forces.
It doesn’t mean that if you have good talent, you should cultivate it vigorously.
It takes a lot of money and energy to train a person.
These resources will only be spent on your own people.
Therefore, if Zhou Shan wants to climb up in the fishing gang, he still has to rely on his own efforts to earn training resources, or take the initiative to find a backer and become a 'master' or 'adopted father'.
Otherwise, if you are not a relative or a friend, why should others train you?
Only after there is a close relationship between the two, others will be willing to spend money to train you.
Moreover, even if you want to recognize your 'adopted father', others may not be willing to accept you.
Ultimately, all this is because Baisha County is just a small place with limited resources.
For some small forces, if they want to train a person, the first thing they look at is not their talent but their background, and whether they are one of their own is very important.
Except for immediate family members, no money would be spent on cultivating someone with whom he has no connection. As long as he is one of his own, it doesn't matter even if he is slightly less talented.
It doesn't matter if he is not one of his own, even if he has excellent talent.
Some forces, if the performance of their disciples is too outstanding and surpasses the successors trained by the master, they will even suppress you, fearing that you will "take over the magpie's nest", even in the imperial court, you have high achievements. In other words, regardless of whether you rebel or not, as long as you have the ability to rebel, you will be jealous and feared by the emperor.
Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to rise. It requires several generations of hard work, struggle, and struggle.
Jiang Ting's goal is to make money first and become a warrior. This is enough. He has never thought about reaching the sky in one step.
The rise of a family is the continuous efforts of several generations. The carp leaping over the dragon gate is never the effort of one generation.
"Ah Shan, have you considered joining the river patrol team?" Jiang Ting said: "In the river patrol team, as long as you make meritorious service, you can get rewards from the gang and even the government, and you can be better promoted."
"Not for the moment."
Zhou Shan shook his head and said.
For Jiang Ting, as long as he dares to fight hard and joins the river patrol team, he will be able to make better achievements and improve his status.
But for him, it is not necessary.
He has an advantage that others don't have, and that is mental power.
Through spiritual investigation, he can better find the treasure fish in Baisha River, so as to quickly improve his strength. As long as his strength is improved, his status will naturally improve.
I will not offend others if they do not offend me.
Being an honest fisherman and secretly improving strength is the kingly way.
As long as he can catch the treasure fish, Zhou Shan will not lack cultivation resources.
Seeing that Zhou Shan did not agree to join the river patrol team, Jiang Ting did not say anything more. He just mentioned casually that the reason for inviting Zhou Shan today was not for this matter, but to cooperate in opening a fish stall.
After reminiscing for a while, they soon got to the point.
After opening the fish stall, Zhou Shan was responsible for catching fish. If the business was good and one person did not have time to catch fish, he could call other fishermen to work with him.
There was nothing else at the fishing wharf, but there were many fishermen.
Jiang Ting was responsible for contacting restaurants, martial arts halls, etc. He knew some people in the river patrol team. Many of them had a wealthy family and could eat a lot of fish every day, but the requirements for the fish were relatively high, and they needed "big goods".
This is why Jiang Ting came to Zhou Shan.
Ordinary fishermen can only catch some small fish and shrimps, but good fishermen can catch "big goods".
If there are precious fish, it would be better.
After discussing the division of labor, the next thing is to distribute the income of the fish stall.
Among them, 25% is unshakable, which is the fishing tax, commercial tax and other miscellaneous taxes submitted to the government. Among the other 75%, 15% is to be submitted to the fishing gang, which only leaves 60%.
Of the 60%, the person behind Jiang Ting will take 10%.
Therefore, Jiang Ting and Zhou Shan can only share 50%, and the two of them will directly split it in half.
25%, this is half a percent more than Zhou Shan's income from selling the catch to other shops.
Although it seems to be only half a percent more, as the scale gets bigger and bigger, the amount of catch sold every day is much larger than that of him alone, and if it is selling precious fish, Jiang Ting does not take a commission.
After the two of them reached an agreement, they decided that Zhouji Fish Stall would open in three days.
