Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Jiang Xinxin insisted on going to sea after being persuaded, so he could only try his best to recommend suitable candidates. "There are not many people here who are willing to go to Coral Spiral. There is a South Vietnamese named Ruan Hei who wants to use the money to treat his family, so he is willing to go, and there is also Ruan Hei's goddaughter Duoling."

"Of course, as for getting into the water, I would most recommend this young man named Gu Chai. He is most likely a Tanka!"

"Tanka people?" The fat man was confused when he heard this new word, so Hu Bayi explained, "In the southern coastal areas, there has been a group of people who make a living by collecting pearls since ancient times. Regardless of gender, they have been practicing holding their breath in the water since they were young. When they grow up, some can even dive for half an hour."

"Later, the emperor of the previous dynasty issued an edict to abolish the slave system, and the Tanka people were among those pardoned. However, even though the Tanka people went ashore and were eligible to buy land and property, they were still not eligible to take the imperial examinations, so they were still at the bottom of the exploited class."

Jiang Xinxin had never heard of this Tanka people, but what Hu Bayi said was just well-known news. The real Tanka people were not that simple. Seeing that Jiang Xinxin didn't know, Jiang Xiaoguan took over Hu Bayi's words: "What Mr. Hu said is something that everyone knows, and the real Tanka people are the name that the land residents originally called the Hentian clan."

"The Hentian clan is the remnant of Houyi's tribe. They probably fled overseas due to wars and natural disasters during the Shang Dynasty or earlier, and came to Guixu in the South China Sea, where the dragon energy is said to be the strongest, and established a new country there."

"Then, due to natural disasters or other reasons, the country they later established was changed. They had to start contacting the land, and people discovered that they were good at pearl fishing. From then on, they were used and exploited. Now it can be said that they have reached the point of extinction."

The local boss named Ban Wu gave Jiang Xiaoguan a thumbs up and said, "The boss is really knowledgeable. He even knows such a niche anecdote."

Jiang Xiaoguan just glanced at Ban Wu without saying anything. After a while, Ruan Hei came over with Duoling and Gu Cai. After everyone met each other, they began to prepare supplies for going out to sea.

The most important thing when going out to sea is fresh water. Luzon is not short of fresh water, but with the development of technology, there are naturally equipment for purifying fresh water. Zhang Haike and Zhang Haixing had already piled up several sets of spare ones on the boat.

In addition, there are vegetables and fruits in the cold storage and freezer, both fresh and canned. Fatty saw them and exclaimed that although they looked well-equipped when they came out before, they actually suffered.

While waiting for the boat to go out to sea, the weather was sunny and windy, which was much better than the weather in the north where there was heavy snow from time to time. Black Glasses was the first one who couldn't help but organize a sea fishing competition. He even used a ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg as a prize. The ruby ​​was as red as pigeon blood. Shirley Yang was so excited when she saw it that she immediately got ready to join the game.

Jiang Xinxin pretended to go get her equipment and wanted to participate, but Hei Yanjing immediately cried and begged for mercy: "Aunt, please have mercy on me. My small business can't stand your tossing!"

The fat man was confused by the black glasses' behavior: "How come Miss Jiang is also an expert in sea fishing?"

Hu Bayi smiled and said, "It's amazing that you can think of this. Just think about what Miss Jiang was capable of when we were in Kunlun Mountain. If Miss Jiang went all out, what good would Black Glasses do?"

The fat man chuckled and said to Black Glasses, "Brother Black Glasses, you gave me such a big ruby. You are obviously wealthy. Don't be stingy!"

The man with black glasses turned around and scolded the fat man: "What do you know, fat man! My ability is like an iceberg under the sea. No one can imagine how capable I am!"

The fat man was really disappointed with Black Glasses. He pulled Black Glasses to the side, where he was facing away from others, and said in a low voice, "Brother Black Glasses, our Chief of Staff Yang is a wealthy American who has been in the United States for generations. He is very rich. He can easily spend tens of thousands of US dollars!"

Black Glasses didn't understand what the fat man meant, but he thought of his own wealth, and quickly straightened his chest and said proudly: "I used to be a poor man who took jobs everywhere but couldn't get the final payment, but since I got my aunt's support, I have become rich! Rich!"

The fat man was secretly worried about Hu Bayi, and hurriedly made his intentions clear: "What I mean is, brother, you can be richer. Who can refuse more money?"

The man with black glasses was a little moved. Seeing the fat man's eyes moving back and forth between Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi, he smiled slyly and said, "You mean, you want me to sell this ruby ​​to you, Chief of Staff Yang?"

The fat man smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's right, they are simply engaged, and the wedding date has not been announced yet, but such a good thing in red, of course, can't be missed when you see it."

It turns out that Fatty wanted everyone to be lenient and give the thing to Shirley Yang, or let Hu Bayi buy it.

Black Glasses couldn't help but slap the fat man in the face: "I just told you for a long time to ask me not to do anything, but none of you said a word and you still bullied me!"

That being said, the ruby ​​that Black Glasses took out was won by Hu Bayi by luck, and Hu Bayi was too embarrassed to give it to Shirley Yang in front of everyone, but the next morning when he saw the smile on Shirley Yang's face that she couldn't hide no matter what, he knew that Hu Bayi must have taken action.

For several days in a row, the scenery was blue sky, white clouds and clear blue sea. It would be a bit boring if you saw it too much. Gu Cai stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the sunset in front of him with a solemn expression.

When the fat man passed by, he saw that Gu Chai was too calm despite his young age, so he couldn't help but tease him: "Brother Gu Chai, how old are you this year?"

Gu Cai just glanced at the fat man and said coldly, "Nineteen."

The fat man was immediately excited when someone paid attention to him: "Hey, after 18, you are an adult. At 19, you should be looking for a girl and prepare to get married when you are 20!"

"How is it? Coral Temple Island is not small, and there are many beautiful girls there. Is there anyone you like?"

Gu Cai didn't want to pay attention to the talkative fat man, but when he turned around, he was blocked by the even more talkative black glasses man: "Brother Gu Cai, the fat man is right, you can make a lot of money on this trip to the sea. I, a blind man, suggest that you hurry up and prepare to marry your ideal person, otherwise it will be a pity to miss it!"

The fat man echoed a long paragraph, and Gu Cai was very helpless and could only change the subject: "Something is wrong tonight, and something unexpected may happen. Everyone be careful."

The fat man didn't believe it and turned to look at the gorgeous sunset. In his eyes, today's sunset was even more beautiful than the previous few days. "It is said that the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is, but the sun is different. In my experience, tomorrow will be a good day as usual, don't worry, brother Gu Cai."
