At the port.
"Huh? I can't go to sea? "
Sister Qin said, "Given that you encountered two fish tides in a row and your fishing boat was damaged, the inspectors think that you may have offended someone, so you are not allowed to go to sea for now. There are only nine days left before your Fishing Trial. I suggest you consolidate your cultivation during this period. "
Han Fei asked, "Have you found the culprit?"
Sister Qin said, "No evidence, but we have reason to suspect that the Tigers did this."
"The Tigers?"
Han Fei's eyes turned cold. He was not surprised to know the answer at all. How could an ordinary person destroy a fishing boat in a place like the port without being noticed? In this way, the things he blackmailed from Li Jue seemed not worth mentioning at all.
"OK, Sister Qin, I'll go back first."
Since he couldn't go to sea, he had no source of spiritual energy, which was intolerable to Han Fei.
In the market, all kinds of food stalls had begun to advertise and people were shuttling back and forth.
Suddenly, Han Fei heard someone shouting, "Water, water, clean rainwater … 20 sea coins per catty. Buy now. Only 500 catties."
Someone bargained, "Boss, 20 sea coins? That's too expensive. Didn't it rain a few days ago? Your asking price is too high! "
Someone echoed, "Old Qin, 18 catties per catty. Give me 10 catties."
Old Qin chuckled. "Expensive? The last time it rained was half a month ago. I had to squeeze out 500 catties myself. Besides, the sea has been calm recently. The next time it rains may be half a month later. The water will only get more and more expensive. 20 sea coins per catty, no bargaining. Buy it if you want it. "
The crowd was slightly quiet.
Then someone said, "Fine, Old Qin, give me 20 catties."
"Give me 10 catties."
"Give me 50 catties."
…
Dumbfounded, Han Fei watched that 500 catties of water were sold out in only two minutes. He couldn't help but gasp. Wasn't it too fast to make money? He made a mid-quality pearl in just a few minutes. Was water so valuable nowadays?
It made sense. The floating islands were not connected to the earth veins but flew in the sky without source water. They could only form rain through the evaporation of the sea. But unexpectedly, the rainfall here didn't seem to be too frequent, which led to a serious shortage of water resources.
But the seawater resources here are endless! Wouldn't he be rich by making distilled water?
While he was thinking, he passed by a beggar.
"Wait, something's not right …"
"Levitating Island! Everyone was cultivating! Where did this beggar come from? "
The beggar's face was covered in dirt, and he was holding a broken bowl and swaying it back and forth.
However, the moment the beggar saw Han Fei, he stepped back in horror, got up, and tried to run away.
"Stop, don't move."
The beggar quickly begged for mercy, "Young master, please spare my life! I've already been kicked out! "
Han Fei was stunned. "Are you … Brother Gang?"
The beggar shook his head. "Xiao Gang, you can just call me Xiao Gang."
Han Fei: "…"
"You're not dead?"
Hearing this, Li Gang's legs trembled. So you really want me to die! Since learning that Han Fei was Tang Ge's brother, Brother Gang's lackeys were all dead. Brother Gang had to spend all of his family's assets to barely survive. But he was still hung on a pole by the Tigers for three days. Fortunately, he used to be a nobody in the East City. Many people knew him, so he didn't end up being killed. But even so, he was kicked out of the Tigers by Li Jue, and his heart was broken. At this moment, he had less than 10% of his strength, which was quite miserable.
Li Gang hugged Han Fei's leg and said, "Young master, please spare me! I can't die. Little Red is still waiting for me to raise her. If I die, Little Red will be taken away by others. "
Han Fei shrugged. "… Who wants to kill you? I'm very kind."
Li Gang secretly complained, You're not kind at all! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this today!
Han Fei asked, "Were you kicked out of the Tigers?"
Li Gang nodded miserably, and there was still fear in his eyes. He couldn't afford to offend Han Fei now!
Han Fei had an idea. "How about this! How about you follow me in the future? I'll take you to eat and drink well. "
"Huh … Huh?"
Li Gang suspected that he had heard wrong. He won't kill me? Is he kidding me?
Han Fei shrugged. "What? How about this, clean yourself up and come to my house to find me. I happen to be short of manpower now. I'll give you the opportunity. It's up to you whether you can seize it or not. "
Although Li Gang was a gangster, he was also very cunning. Could he follow Han Fei? Of course, his brother was Tang Ge! When a man became a Taoist, so would Han Fei have a bad life in the future? Obviously not. But what did he have that caught Han Fei's attention? Did he want him to collect protection fees?
Thinking of the two times he was robbed by Han Fei, Li Gang thought it was very possible.
…
Half an hour later.
Li Gang came, but his face was pale, which showed that he was seriously injured, but his dirty face had been cleaned up.
When Li Gang came, Han Fei was fiddling with some bottles and pots and even took out the big pot at home. Li Gang didn't know what he was doing.
Seeing Li Gang, Han Fei asked without raising his head, "How much strength do you have left?"
Li Gang trembled. "About … About the same as a level-two fisher."
Li Gang wanted to die. Did he want to become a beggar? Of course not, but fishing with the strength of a level-two fisher would be courting death!
Han Fei raised his head in surprise. "Ha! Are you crippled? "
Li Gang's face was ugly. "Not really. It's just that this kind of recovery pill is too expensive. It's worth up to 10 mid-quality pearls …"
Han Fei sneered. "That's why I said that if you work for bad guys, you will be ruthlessly abandoned at any time."
With that, Han Fei took out a dozen mid-quality pearls and placed them in front of Li Gang. "I can help you heal your injuries, but don't betray me. However, you can't betray me. Otherwise, you won't just be injured. Your Lil 'Red might really be snatched away by someone else. "
Li Gang's eyes were full of disbelief. A dozen mid-quality pearls were for him?
Li Gang's heart warmed up and he immediately burst into tears. "Young master, I, Li Gang, am yours from now on. If you ask me to hunt Iron-Head Fish, I will never hunt Spirit Swallowing Fish …"
Han Fei waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't call me young master. Call me young master from now on! Tell me, is there any seasonings on our island? "
"What seasonings?"
"It's a seasoning that can make food more delicious! For example, salt. "
Han Fei hadn't had a decent meal since he came to this world. Almost everything he ate was salted, but salt alone was useless. Could salt get rid of the fishy smell of seafood?
Li Gang was suddenly enlightened. "Oh! Young Master, you mean spices! But spices are things that only the rich can afford! "
Han Fei's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Li Gang nodded. "Yes, but ordinary people generally don't eat them. Most spices can only be bought with mid-quality pearls."
Han Fei was a little disappointed. That was too expensive. He had planned to open a barbecue stall and sell some distilled water, but the price of spices was so high that he could only make some for himself.
"What about wine?"
Li Gang said, "Wine is cheap. The fish head wine is only thirty sea coins per catty. Young Master, do you want to drink wine? "
"Let's go. Show me the spices first."
…
On the south side of the floating island near the cliff, there was a plantation of a thousand acres.
Looking at the flourishing vegetation here, Han Fei asked in surprise, "Are there farmers on the island?"
Li Gang scratched his head. "That's not it. I heard that in the beginning, there were people in the town who came to plant spiritual herbs. Maybe because our island's environment isn't good, they couldn't grow them. In the end, all the spiritual herbs degenerated, and many of them became spices. But even so, many people think that spices are also spiritual herbs, so spices are very expensive. "
The plantation was guarded by an old man who was basking in the sun with a jar of wine in his hand. He didn't seem to see Han Fei and Li Gang at all.
Han Fei stepped forward. "Grandpa, we're here to buy spices."
The old man opened one eye and glanced at Han Fei. Then he continued to bask in the sun and said unhurriedly, "You can't afford it."
Han Fei's face was gloomy. Why can't I afford it? I still have fifty mid-quality pearls.
The old man raised his hand and pointed at a wooden shelf not far away. "They're all over there. One mid-quality pearl for each."
Han Fei walked over curiously, only to be dumbfounded at first glance.
