However, the two clans shared one thing in common. Although the two clans despised and attacked each other, they both regarded themselves as the far-ancient descendants of Hua people in Taixia Country. They both wanted to return to Taixia Country and gain the official recognition of Taixia Country.
There were many Xinluo people and Fusang people from Chaosang Subcontinent living in Youzhou Province. Some of them came to Taixia Country aboveboard; more of them came here illegally. Even many Gaoli people and Fusang people who would like to sell themselves and come to Taixia Country to become border residents of Taixia Country. As for major clans in Taixia Country, the servants and servants of these two clans were famous for being hardworking and docile; especially Fusang people. Fusang women were very docile while Fusang men could always be trained as dare-to-die fighters.
Haruki Murakami and Pak Yong Tai were both small figures at the bottom of the fishing industry in Whitesand Gulf. However, they didn't forget about the antagonism between two clans; instead, they became more hostile to each other. As long as they could destroy the other's good deed, the other would definitely take the initiative to do it.
It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that he could meet two people from Chaosang Subcontinent here. However, the performance of Haruki Murakami and Pak Yong Tai aroused Zhang Tie's interest.
Besides setting free wild animals, Zhang Tie came to Golden Sea City to investigate this place and find two useful people. From then on, he would do this thing for Zhang Tie. After all, Zhang Tie could not stay in Golden Sea City forever. If he left, he would not stop setting free animals either. He needed someone to continue it.
He was now an elder of the clan. In this position, if he wanted to use the power of the clan to do something that others would think was inexplicable, it might cause a huge uproar and all kinds of guesses. The result might be the opposite of what he wanted and destroy the karma involved. In the end, he wouldn't be able to reap any benefits.
Therefore, Zhang Tie had better do it in a low-key way.
After promoting to a knight, the harder it was for him to form his earth chakra, the more precious such a fruit which could constantly improve his battle strength would be. Zhang Tie decided to pay more attention to this thing from now on.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Tie realized that he had not developed the fruit of redemption enough. Although there were many animals that could be redeemed, Zhang Tie had only eaten some fruits of redemption so far.
"Are you two familiar with the situation here?"
"Of course, I've lived in Embracing Tiger City for 10 years. I'm very familiar with everything here; unlike someone who has just been here for a few years!" Pu Yong Tai answered immediately.
From Park Yong Tae's pure Chinese accent, it could be seen that this guy had lived here for a longer time.
After throwing a glance at Pak Yong Tai, Haruki Murakami said calmly with a hidden meaning, "All the guests that I've received would like to ask for my help when they come here for the second time. I have the best reputation here. However, some people might not. As a fishery operator, how to save money for the guests and create the greatest value for the guests requires great efforts and brains!"
"Well, I will hire you two at the same time. Both of you will get a high reward. However, the one who performs better will get an extra reward!" Zhang Tie said confidently.
After throwing a glance at each other once again, Haruki Murakami and Pak Yong Tai opened their mouths at the same time as they deeply bowed towards Zhang Tie, "We are willing to serve you!"
"Okay, take me around the market. I want to see the fresh aquatic products here. You can introduce them to me!" Zhang Tie pointed at the steel shed which was the closest to him.
Haruki Murakami and Pak Yong Tai led the three people towards the trading market in front of each other.
"For the sake of not being presumptuous, may I know your names?"
Haruki Murakami was indeed more considerate than Pak Yong Tai; additionally, he was more polite. The moment they started to move, Haruki Murakami had asked Zhang Tie meticulously.
"My surname is Zhang, they're my friends!" Zhang Tie told Haruki Murakami that he was in charge of this trade.
"Ah, the ancestor surnamed Zhang of Hua people in Taixia Country is the direct descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan in far-ancient times and the creator of human battle bows. It's a glorious and great surname!" Haruki Murakami said with sparkling eyes as he was full of admiration about Zhang Tie's surname, "Through textual research, the ancestors of the two surnames of Immortal Wood and Upper Wood are actually the branches of Zhang clan in far-ancient Taixia Country. The so-called Immortal Wood and Upper Wood are the raw materials for making bows. The two surnames represent the reverence and memory of Zhang clan."
"Bullsh * t!" Pak Yong Tai couldn't stand to sprung up, "The ancestors of our Xinluo clan are from far-ancient Hua people. Therefore, our surnames are the same as those of Hua people. You Fusang people are all monkeys and barbarians who lived on islets!"
"You Xinluo people are all thieves and actors. Before the Great Cataclysm, you said that God belonged to you Xinluo people. You Xinluo people are the ones who stole your surnames!" Haruki Murakami retorted.
Pak Yong Tai became furious...
"If anyone of you says one more irrelevant word, you can leave. I'm not here to listen to your quarrel!" Zhang Tie opened his mouth icily.
The moment Zhang Tie opened his mouth, Haruki Murakami and Pak Yong Tai had their hearts pounded as they became silent at once.
...
The fresh goods trading market in Whitesand Gulf was very large. Compared to that small trading market in Hidden Dragon Island, this one was at least hundreds of times larger. Of course, there were more varieties and quantities of fresh goods and seafood being traded here.
The whole fresh goods trading market in Whitesand Bay was bustling with people. The ground was covered with fishy smell and bloodstains. Smelly sailors and workers with big fishing nets could be seen everywhere. There were also traders haggling over the price, spittle flying everywhere, and the bloody viscera of some seafood being slaughtered and cut up in the market...
After following Zhang Tie in here for less than half a minute, Feng Cangwu's face had turned pale. His trousers had been dirtied by the fishy mud stains caused by some boatmen who were carrying water tanks. On such an occasion, even knights could not avoid being stained unless they flew up or protected by their protective battle qi.
Besides taking a taxi for the first time, it might be the first time for this excellent disciple of Heavens Fortune Sect to come to such a place.
Feng Cangwu couldn't figure out why Zhang Tie could be so free here.
Besides walking and watching, Zhang Tie was also conversing with those stall owners and workers proficiently, inquiring about the market situation and bargaining with them like a fishmonger.
Not only Feng Cangwu, even Zhu Dabiao was impressed by Zhang Tie at this moment.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, who could imagine that he was the famous Lion of Youzhou Province and the dean of Provincial Court of Youzhou Province who had just resigned?
As there were too many fresh goods in the market, Zhang Tie also broadened his horizon. Among the fresh goods, there were crustaceans, live fishes, mollusks and invertebrates everywhere, shrimps, crabs, shellfish, sea cucumbers and sea urchins. There were over 10 kinds of shrimps, 7-8 kinds of crabs, over 20 kinds of fishes, especially abalone, scallop, sea urchins, golden crab.
Mackerel, Spanish mackerel, opium fish, flank fish, turbot fish, small mouth fish, Jiji fish, black fish, yellow croaker, shark, yellow croaker, conch, star snail, emperor snail, crawling shrimps, lobster, north sea shellfish and oyster were the most common.
It took Zhang Tie more than 1 hour to walk around the market. After this round, Zhang Tie had a general idea about it.
If Zhang Tie was the God who could make everything run according to his will by waving his hand, at this moment, he would definitely choose to set all the animals free. However, he was not. Therefore, Zhang Tie had to embody the principles of pragmatism and utilitarianism in choosing what to set free.
The animals that he wanted to set free should not be rare. Firstly, rare marine animals were expensive; secondly, they could not last long. Actually, it was very difficult for Zhang Tie to eat the fruits of such animals.
Therefore, Zhang Tie chose to set free a large number of marine animals. Firstly, they could be set free throughout the year so that he could have fruits constantly. Secondly, they should be cheap so that his capital could be maximized. At this moment, the value of life could not be measured by gold coins. Therefore, the value of marine products could not be measured by gold coins either. This point had been clearly reflected by earthworms. Thirdly, Zhang Tie insisted on not setting popular marine products but common ones. In this way, nobody would compete with him and he would not arouse too much attention.
After making an investigation and learning about something from Haruki Murakami and Piao Yong Tai, Zhang Tie finally set free two common and unattractive marine animals for the first time in Youzhou Province. One was a relatively small shrimps with a thick shell called gulf shrimps. The price of such shrimps was 45 copper coins per kg in Whitesand Gulf, which was very cheap. Each fishing boat could catch a lot of such gulf shrimps when it went out to sea. There was another kind of shellfish called hairy shellfish. This kind of shellfish was also abundant in Baisha Bay, and the price was cheaper, only about 18 copper coins per kilogram. This kind of hairy shellfish had average meat quality. Occasionally, you could encounter pearls, but because the number of pearls produced by hairy shellfish was very small, almost one in ten thousand, and the pearls produced by it were not special, so no one paid attention to it.
When Zhang Tie had Haruki Murakami and Piao Yong Tai rent a bigger fishing boat and contact people to buy all the gulf shrimps and hairy shellfish in the market today so as to set them free in the ocean, Haruki Murakami and Piao Yong Tai were both dumbfounded. Not until Zhang Tie drew out two gold checks with the par value of 500 gold coins and gave them to them did they realize that Zhang Tie was not joking...
At this moment, Zhang Tie actually didn't know what kind of fruits he could get by setting free the two animals!
