I Became an Anonymous Boss

A whole piece of ice the size of a basketball, inside the ice is frozen fresh red carp.

"Good fellow, such a big one!" Wang Dachang's eyes widened: "It's three times bigger than Miss Tantai's! This must be an old red carp that has been around for decades, right?"

"It's not surprising that the rare treasures of heaven and earth have lived for decades." Tantai Ziyue had no envy in her eyes but admiration: "In the past few decades, no one has ever caught this red carp, but it was taken away by the young master."

"The one who wishes to take the bait." Shirataki patted the ice cube: "Such a vigorous fish must be very interesting to raise."

"Raise? You really plan to raise it!" Wang Dachang rubbed the back of his head and said anxiously, "Little brother, let me tell you, this red carp can only live in cold springs, and it can't be raised in water without aura. The sky is dead, why don't you just put it in the pot! Such a big fish can't be stewed in a pot, if you let me cook it, I can cook one fish and eat ten! I'll make you a whole fish feast!"

…Sorry, I still believe in modern times when it comes to food cooking ability, and you don’t have all the spices here.

Shirataki didn't answer, but just cut off the fishing line and replaced it with a new hook.

"Are you still going to fish again?"

"Of course, there is still time." Shirataki took out another grain of red cooked rice without any haste.

At this time, Wang Dachang, who was approaching, smelled a scent of wine, and his mouth watered immediately: "This, this smells delicious...Little brother, your rice smells a little bit good, does it have something to do with it?"

"Background? It's just ordinary Jiangnan rice. I steamed it in a rice cooker myself."

Rice is indeed better than the rice in this world. The taste of genetically modified and hybrid rice is not good. The yield is large but the taste has deteriorated.

Shirataki would occasionally carry a few bags of rice from here to make rations, and a bag of rice would last several floors.

"No, what I said was that you handled it. What did you use to soak it?" Wang Dachang swallowed: "It's a kind of bar, a kind of good wine!"

"You have a good nose." Bai Taki nodded, "You soaked it in wine."

He soaked the cooked rice in the thousand-year-old fire wine in advance. This is the superb immortal wine obtained during the anecdotal mission in the past. There was only the last bit left, and he was reluctant to drink it. This time, he took out a little to soak the rice.

The red carp in the cold spring like the natural treasures of the fire attribute, so naturally it is impossible to refuse the thousand-year-old fire wine.

Facts have proved that it is also effective.

Shirataki threw out the hook again and continued fishing for the last red carp.

Another ten seconds passed before the hook was bitten. He lifted the hook, and this time he caught a palm-length red carp, which was slightly worse than the previous one, but the quality was still better than the first one. it is good.

"Hiss..." Merchant Cai was stunned.

"Little brother, can you sell me a fish? I'll pay a high price, really!" Wang Dachang's longing flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Do you think I'm short of money?" Bai Taki asked indifferently... Yes, I am very short!

"I know it's not about money or not, it's about my innate way." Wang Dachang said seriously: "As long as you sell me a fish..."

"I'll buy it too! I'll buy it at any price!" Merchant Cai finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Little brother, I can't see Mount Tai, just give me one of your red carps!"

"Cai, are you robbing me?" Wang Dachang stared: "I'll spit you to death, he... tui!"

"Wang Dachang, you are shameless, you are a big eater, and you actually spit in public!"

"It's a shameless person like you who vomited. No one can snatch the treasures of food from my eyes. My own father spits on him the same way!"

"It's unreasonable, do you think I have no saliva!!"

The two began to stare at each other, and engaged in a war of words in order to compete for the right to auction the red carp.

Shirataki had already picked up two pieces of frozen fish, tied them up and lifted them up with a bamboo pole. The emerald green bamboo pole was resting on his shoulders. The two ice cubes were shaking with his steps, looking quite childlike and leisurely. leisure.

"You guys are arguing slowly, I will leave first." Bai Taki yawned: "I'm going back to rest too."

"Wait, little brother! The price is negotiable!"

"I have sincerity, and I have surprises!"

"Let's talk about it next time."

"Definitely next time!" Wang Dachang clenched his fists: "Little brother, I will definitely bring a generous gift to visit another day!"

"Me too!"

"Surnamed Cai, shameless old thief, what happened to you!"

Shirataki is not in a hurry to finalize the deal, anyway, the fish is with him, and he can sell it anytime he wants.

Mainly, he also wanted to see if the red carp could be kept. If he couldn't keep it, he could sell it for money at any time. If he could keep it, then he would keep it as a companion for the apricot tree.

"Miss Tantai, I will take a step ahead."

"Master, do you want to go back to Jinling City?" Tantai Ziyue took the initiative to ask: "If you don't mind, you can take a carriage."

"No need, I still have a place to go." Shirataki cupped his hands: "Just take a step first."

"Young master, walk slowly."

Tantai Ziyue watched Bai Taki go away, he put the bamboo pole on his shoulder, the fishing line at the tip of the bamboo pole was so thin, but it could support the weight of two pieces of ice, it swayed as he walked, his back didn't look tall The stalwart will not make people stand tall, but this leisurely and childlike style has a different kind of nature, which makes people feel peaceful when they look at it.

Natural, pure, unaffected, unrestrained, unrestrained, and unpretentious.

It wasn't until Bai Taki walked away that Tantai Ziyue talked to herself.

"It looks ordinary, but it is special everywhere."

"Although there is no arrogance, there is arrogance. The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant. He does not care about the malice of others, and he will not be taciturn. It seems that he doesn't care about anything, but he has a goodwill towards everything."

"In the past, when I heard what Qixia said, I always felt it was very vague and illusory. Now after witnessing it with my own eyes, I just realized that this young master is no longer comparable to a wonderful person."

The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, revealing a slight smile.

"Miss, we should go back too."

"Understood." Tantai Ziyue said softly: "Another day, let's visit Yanyun Mansion again."

"You're lucky." Wang Dachang glanced at Merchant Cai: "The other party doesn't care about you, but I warn you, don't think of any crooked ideas."

"How can I? Although I'm a bit slow, I'm not stupid." Merchant Cai stroked his mustache: "I was in a hurry at the beginning, but I didn't catch any fish, and I almost offended people, hey... ... I am also obsessed with ghosts, and I am possessed."

"Speak bluntly, what do you want the red carp to do?"

"It's okay to tell you now, this red carp is the material for refining the Vitality Pill. If I can get the Vitality Pill, there is hope for my status as an imperial merchant."

"You want to be an imperial merchant?" Wang Dachang took a high look at Merchant Cai: "That's really difficult... But how did you know that there are red carp here, and the information about this vitality pill?"

"Of course you bought it on the black market, didn't you?"

"No, I found it from an ancient book." Wang Dachang said hesitantly: "But the fishing method seems to be wrong, and yours is not right, only Miss Tantai and that... what is his name? Their method is right. gone."

"Well, Ms. Tantai doesn't know very well, but I'm afraid this young master is really a master." Merchant Cai wiped off his sweat, "I have to make a big red envelope."

"Tacky! Is he the kind of person who lacks money!"

……

In the middle of the night, the old man looked at the swaying fire and packed his luggage silently.

There are many things in life that are unavoidable. How beautiful it was once, how embarrassing it is now.

Looking back at the past, he was also high-spirited, and looking at the present, he is already a dying person.

After three years of waiting, when the day came to nothing, and the last ray of hope was cut off, why didn't he feel pain?

It's useless to say it out, I can only keep telling myself in my heart... don't argue, it's time to accept fate.

The old man looked at the girl who had fallen asleep peacefully, with a ray of love in his eyes, maybe for Ling'er, he should live a little longer, but time waits for no one.

The only thing he can do now is to accept all this and go back to Ganzhou, the place that made him unwilling.

Suppressing the overflowing emotions in his heart, the old man continued to tidy up his clothes.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, tuk tuk...

The old man was puzzled, who would it be at this time?

He walked out the door with his back supported, and pushed open the gate of the courtyard, but what he saw was the face of the young man from before.

He was a little puzzled, but the young man came back quite quickly, and he didn't look bruised or swollen.

"Hey, old man, passing by again, come to ask for a drink." Bai Taki smiled heartily.

"...the teapot is over there, you can use it yourself." The old man lowered his head, he was too lazy to think about anything.

"Thanks, and, old man, why don't you see what I caught?"

Shirataki swung the emerald green bamboo pole on his shoulder, and two heavy ice cubes fell on the table.

When the old man looked back, his eyesight suddenly narrowed, and the two red carps were lying quietly in the ice.

He lost his mind for a moment, and the scene made him wonder if it was fake.

There was a buzzing in his head, he couldn't stand on his feet, and fell to the ground with a bang.

There was a trance in his vision, followed by a moment of bewilderment.

red carp...

That's red carp.

I waited for three years and had to give up, and lost and recovered the rare treasure.

Just put it here.

With it, the Vitality Pill can be refined!

With it, I can live for a long time, and I can continue to take care of Ling'er to grow up, and I don't have to go back to that place to wait for death!

It is one's own life.

Why, it appears here...

"Young man, this, this is you..." The old man's voice was already hoarse.

"Yes, it's the red carp I caught." Shirataki smiled: "I said, I'm very good."

Sure enough, sure enough, sure enough, this is the red carp!

I had already given up, accepted my fate, and waited to die!

But someone sent it here, and just put it here randomly.

He also just smiled and casually mentioned it lightly and humorously.

Among many people, he must have worked hard to get these two red carps.

Why do you want to send it in front of yourself?

Does this young man know...
