Chapter 443 Snake meat sold for 100,000 taels, the ancestor of fishing for crabs at the bottom of the lake.
"Very well, Madam, here is eleven thousand taels..."
Looking at the two large wooden buckets full of crabs, Shen Wanjin readily took out 11,000 taels of silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Lin Luoxi.
"Okay, thank you, boss."
"Boss, we also have snake meat here. It looks like it's several hundred years old. Eating it can prolong life. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
Lin Luoxi pointed to the large pit that was blocked by her own carriage and asked Shen Wanjin to take a look.
"Really?" He wasn't interested in the giant snake, but the fact that a giant snake that was hundreds of years old could extend its lifespan caught Shen Wanjin's attention.
With countless assets, what he needs to do now is to live as long as possible. Otherwise, he'll be left with so much wealth for nothing, enjoying it all for nothing, and then dying before he's even had a chance to enjoy it properly. He'll definitely feel resentful.
"Where?" Shen Wanjin looked excitedly in the direction Lin Luoxi was pointing, thinking that he could live a few more years.
"Hiss~" Shen Wanjin gasped when he saw the black snake in the pit, and then re-examined Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan.
"My name is Shen Wanjin, and my wife is Mu Nanyin. May I ask how many of you are...?" Shen Wanjin had a desire to befriend her.
"My name is Xie Hanchuan, that is my wife Lin Luoxi, and these are my sons, Aiyuan..."
Seeing that the other party had already introduced themselves, Xie Hanchuan politely began to introduce himself as well.
"Wow, so you are the Ever-Victorious General and Princess Changping, no wonder..." No wonder you were able to slay the centuries-old serpent with your sword.
If it were these two, then it wouldn't be unjust for this giant snake to die at their hands.
"You're too modest. We were just lucky. So you're the richest man in the business world, Shen, whom everyone talks about..." Xie Hanchuan flattered him.
"How much do you plan to sell this big snake for?" After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they finally got to the point.
“Whatever price the richest man thinks it’s worth, that’s all you have to pay…” Xie Hanchuan, the old fox, said.
"One hundred thousand taels, what do you think?" Shen Wanjin tentatively looked at Xie Hanchuan.
"Okay!" Xie Hanchuan nodded in agreement after receiving Lin Luoxi's instruction.
"Here is 100,000 taels." Fearing that Xie Hanchun and the others might change their minds, Shen Wanjin quickly took out 100,000 taels from his pocket and stuffed it into Xie Hanchuan's hands. He then told his men to go back and ask someone to carry away the giant snake, which was almost 10 meters long.
Such a big snake could fetch dozens more 100,000 taels of silver in his hands. We can't let him get away with this prize that's already in our grasp.
"General Changsheng, Princess Changping, do you two have some time to enjoy a snake soup feast together?"
Before leaving, Shen Wanjin extended an invitation to Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but we're in a hurry, so we'll have to postpone our gathering. If fate allows, we'll meet again..."
Lin Luoxi glanced at Shen Wanjin's wife and declined Shen Wanjin's invitation.
"Oh, then we'll meet again sometime..." Wan Jian sighed with regret, then happily carried away the crabs and snakes he had bought with his money, along with his wife and servants.
"Wife, Yang Xiaofeng's wedding is still half a month away, why did you refuse Shen Wanjin's invitation..."
Xie Hanchuan couldn't understand why Lin Luoxi, who loved making money so much, would miss the opportunity to cooperate with Shen Wanjin.
“The timing isn’t right! We will meet again.” Thinking of Shen Wanjin’s wife, Lin Luoxi answered with certainty.
"I'll listen to you!" Seeing Lin Luoxi's confident demeanor, Xie Hanchuan selectively listened to his wife.
Seeing more crabs coming up from the lake, Xie Hanchuan rolled up his trousers and joined them.
"I never imagined that these unwanted crabs from the lake could actually sell for a tael of silver each." Xie Hanchuan quickly tied the three-pound crab in his hand with a rope, threw it onto the shore, and said incredulously.
"Hmph, do you really think the crabs in this lake are easy to catch?" If that were the case, all the crabs in the lake would have been picked up long ago, and there wouldn't be any left for them to pick up.
"Father, you're so silly." Xie Zhili understood the mystery, but Xie Hanchuan didn't.
"Huh?" Xie Hanchuan was being looked down upon by the children. He cast a pleading look at Lin Luoxi, but when he saw the snake meat in Lin Luoxi's hand, he suddenly realized what was going on.
"Wife, come on, you must be tired from carrying this, let me help you..." Xie Hanchuan wanted to see if he was right, so he took the snake meat from Lin Luoxi's hand and put it into the water.
Before long, the large shrimp hidden at the bottom of the lake went crazy and all swarmed towards Xie Hanchuan.
So that's how it is. Xie Hanchuan took the snake meat in one hand and the crab in the other, and threw them onto the shore.
Xie Zhiyan then took the rope and quickly tied the crab up while it was still disoriented.
"Honey, do you think there might be an ancestor of crabs in this lake?" Lin Luoxi suddenly said this as Xie Hanchuan threw the crabs up into the lake, and they got bigger and bigger.
"Huh???" Xie Hanchuan's hair stood on end when he heard Lin Luoxi's words, and he quickly moved away from the lakeside.
Several children who were picking crabs by the lake also climbed ashore in fear and stared blankly at the lake.
Lin Luoxi stood by the lake and glanced at the calm surface. If she could catch the ancestor of crabs, wouldn't it be more nutritious than the meat of a giant snake?
Without further ado, Lin Luoxi cut the piece of snake meat in Han Chuan's hand in half, and then soaked one half of the snake meat in the spiritual water of her space.
They found a rope thicker than her wrist, and threw the snake meat soaked in the spiritual water into the lake.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths... a quarter of an hour.
Just when Lin Luoxi thought there were no big crabs in the lake, the rope in her hand was pulled down to the bottom of the lake by a huge force.
Feeling the pulling force from the bottom of the lake, Lin Luoxi quickly assumed a horse stance, tightened her hands on the rope, and exerted all her strength.
"Wife, let me help you." Xie Hanchuan saw that Lin Luoxi was struggling to pull the rope, so he quickly ran over, grabbed the rope, and used his "Sea-Stabilizing Needle" technique to stand firmly in place.
Lin Luoxi saw that Xie Hanchun had firmly held one end of the rope, while she used her internal strength to throw it.
"Plop!" A crab bigger than a large iron pot appeared in front of everyone.
The crab was so big that you could clearly see the few hairs on its head.
"My goodness!" Xie Zhiyan, who was holding a rope to tie up a crab, saw a crab that was even bigger than him, and then looked at the rope in his hand.
"Mom, I can't tie this crab!" The crab's claw came at him, almost snapping his head off.
"Second brother, move aside, or the crab will fall and hit you..." Lin Luoxi used her inner strength to support the crab, and seeing that Xie Zhiyan was still standing there, she immediately told him to move aside.
"Oh!" As long as he wasn't allowed to tie up the shrimp, Xie Zhiyan ran away faster than a rabbit.
He's still young, he has a long life ahead of him, and there are plenty of fun things to do out there.
When the crab's ancestors emerged from the water, they realized they had been tricked by humans.
