"Ziyu, Qian Dong, are you going to Fisherman's Wharf tonight to watch the river lanterns?" Zhao Xing asked the two younger brothers when they were leaving work.

"I won't go." Qian Dong shook his head, "The River Lantern Festival is really not interesting. Not many young ladies don't talk about it. It's scary. What's the point? It's far inferior to the Grass Fighting Festival and the Spring Society."

"You know how to look at girls." Zhao Xing smiled and patted him, then turned to look at Chen Ziyu, "What about you?"

"I will go, but I may not be able to go with my brother." Chen Ziyu said, "I want to sell lanterns with my father."

The river lanterns of the River Lantern Festival, also called lotus lanterns, are made of lotus leaves, clay, gouache, cloth, drawing paper and needlework.

After the lamp is made, the names of the deceased relatives will be written on the outer surface of the lamp, and a candle will be placed in the center.

Of course, lotus lanterns are also used to pray for the living, not all to pay homage to the souls of the dead.

Although there are many people at this festival, the atmosphere is solemn and solemn. There is nothing fun to do. At most, you can eat something and enjoy the scenery.

When Zhao Xing saw that the two of them weren't going, he didn't force it. After all, he wasn't going there just for fun.

He wanted to see if he could make a wave of "ghost money".

In the Qi Luck Dynasty system, the Five Elements Qi Luck theory prevails, and there are professions such as warlocks, divination masters, and Feng Shui masters.

However, after Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty "collected the fortune of the world", he strengthened the rule of the fortune of the country and gave the above three professions a blow. They were all summarized in the tool of "temple", and the Yin God performed the fortune on his behalf, increasing fortune and wealth.

.

In the previous life, these professions were once reduced to "sub-professions" in Zhao Xing's eyes, because Taizu's sword directly hit the "major artery".

In the Qi Luck Dynasty version, these three professions are proper sewers, reduced to the likes of ‘charlatans’, and can only survive until the Qi Luck Dynasty collapses, and then rise again.

But this does not prevent Zhao Xing from making a little fortune.

"Tiangan looks like it means seven kills, but Nayin looks like it means wealth."

"If Ding Mao accepts sound fire, the five elements of the heavenly stem belong to wood. Among the four stems, Yi Geng is found, which is the gold ghost with the head of the stem. Ding Mao accepts sound fire, but it can make Yi Geng gold, so it is called ghost wealth."

"Although there is no big benefit from making money from ghosts, there is no loss at all. Because this is the time when the Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, no ghosts or wild ghosts can cause trouble." Zhao Xing glanced at the evil calendar, and then walked slowly towards

Walk towards Fisherman's Wharf.

He first came to an inn in Fisherman's Wharf. There were many stalls here, and there were already many vendors selling lotus lanterns and incense candles.

Zhao Xing bought one casually, which was just an ordinary item. Then he walked toward a group of people resting next to him.

The group of people were in groups, shirtless, drinking tea together, with hooks, scissors and other objects beside them.

They are a group of "river fishermen."

What is a Laohe person?

The water quality is very good, and those who specialize in fishing for treasures in the water usually have worked as fishermen.

Pinghu's Thirteen Canals connect to the Canglan River, and East Lake accumulates vitality over the years. As the rivers wash away, many treasures in the water will be born.

First- and second-level water treasures are not uncommon, and catching one is enough to last for half a year. What if you catch a third-level treasure? Then you can go ashore and buy a house and become a charterer!

Coupled with the constant flow of ships passing by, tourists and merchant ships often drop valuable items and ask people to salvage them, thus giving birth to such a group of "river fishermen".

Even though he is dirty and undignified, his income is much more than that of a farm clerk like Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing walked to the stall, cupped his hands and said, "How many brothers can you take over?"

The middle-aged man who looked like a foreman nodded and said: "I don't accept free work, I only accept hunting for objects and treasures. If you want to try your luck, sir, we have long-term fishing, short-term fishing, and one-shot trading here."

The elite river fishers do not accept the unlucky waste work of fishing for corpses and bones, and they are not willing to make such money.

Zhao Xing nodded and directly stated his needs: "I need to hire a good fisherman. It will start at the end of You hour and end before midnight. It will take about three hours, and there is no limit to the number of times you can enter the water. I will give you two or two and five cents and include tea for midnight.

, but whatever I get, it’s all mine and I won’t share any dividends.”

Three hours is enough. After these three hours, the ghost's fortune will not show up, and it will be difficult to gain anything. In fact, the only time when it is really possible to get treasure is the 'Dingmao hour' among the three hours.

The foreman saw that Zhao Xing was clear and offered a good price. He nodded and shouted behind him: "Xu Laoba."

"Hey! Here we come!" Not far away, a muscular man was chatting with the young woman setting up the stall, showing off his muscular muscles and making people tremble.

When I heard the elder brother's voice, I immediately touched his hand and ran over.

"Brother."

"This young man wants to try his luck. He can fish for a short period of time and give it to someone with a wallet of two or five for three hours. Do you have any problems?" asked the foreman.

"No problem." Xu Laoba bared his teeth and patted his chest at Zhao Xing, "Master, you can tell by looking at me like this. I, Xu Laoba, can definitely bring you good luck!"

Zhao Xing used the Five Elements Observation to look at this person. He had sufficient lung energy and was two or three times bigger than others. He was indeed a good player. Then he nodded: "That's him."

The foreman took out an engraved bamboo stick, and then said: "The payment needs to be paid in advance, and an additional deposit of one or two taels is required. If he comes back safely, the deposit will be returned with this thing. If he has an accident, you are not responsible, and this deposit will be treated as your own."

of good fortune.”

"That's reasonable." Zhao Xing nodded. Then he handed over the money with one hand and the person with the other.

After taking the voucher, Xu Laoba took the guy and followed Zhao Xing.

"Sir, do you still want to rent a cruise ship? I have acquaintances who can give you a 10% discount. If you have friends, five people can also get a 20% discount."

Zhao Xingdao: "I am the only one, so I can just rent a small boat. There is no need for a boat."

Xu Laoba was not disappointed either. He could share the introduction fee with Xiao Zhou: "Which lake area in the southeast, northwest and southeast are you going to go to? Or the Thirteen Bay Areas? Yesterday, a luminous pearl was dug out in the West Lake District. I think we can go there to try it.

Try your luck."

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, just take a stroll."

When Xu Laoba saw this, he didn't say anything more. It seemed that this master had a plan in mind. He also wished that Zhao Xing would hang around more and get in the water less often so that he could relax more quickly.

It gets dark late in the summer, and it doesn't get completely dark until the end of Youshi.

At this time, standing on the heights of Fisherman's Wharf, you can see lanterns floating in the river everywhere, dotted and connected together.

The commercial street is still somewhat popular, but it mainly sells food, drink or lanterns, and other entertainment items are much less than other festivals.

"Huh?" Zhao Xing's eyes suddenly fell on a familiar figure, "The master of ceremonies at Caoxi Zhenjun Palace? There are quite a few people next to him. They seem to be officials in the temple. I don't know who they are.

What is the content of the assessment?”

It was still early before the time he had to wait, and he came to watch the excitement, so he immediately got closer and listened.

Vitality poured into his ears, and soon the only sound in the noisy street was that of the master of ceremonies.
