Chapter 143: Chapter 127: The Rare Treasure Fish

Speaking of the people who were fighting, they were just controlling the ones getting beaten up, claiming they were breaking up the fight, which isn’t illegal even if done selectively.

So, the real assaulter was only one person. Moreover, he didn’t cause any serious injuries, so even if the victims were relentless in seeking detention, he wouldn’t be detained for many days.

Of course, the few ruffians probably wouldn’t dare to be relentless, because if they made too much fuss, they could expect to be permanent guests in the hospital, beaten every time they were discharged, something these people were certainly capable of.

However, such things also depend on the person. If, at this moment, these thugs weren’t thugs but ordinary people, the police wouldn’t let Cuntou and the others off the hook.

Of course, if the ones who had come to cause trouble earlier were ordinary people, these guys wouldn’t have attacked them, because these guys were not actually the grey society or thugs or anything like that. According to Wang Jian Country, these were security company employees, not social misfits. They had come here only to help out, since this is a society governed by law.

After the incident, Lin Yang went back to fishing for Alligator Gar at the pond.

He fished all morning and managed to catch about a dozen.

One must say these people were really immoral, releasing more than ten Alligator Gars, each capable of destroying an entire fishpond. They needed to eliminate these Alligator Gars promptly, or it wouldn’t be long before this body of water suffered a catastrophic loss of aquatic life.

"Guess there shouldn’t be any left now."

Lin Yang had been fishing since a little past seven in the morning until about two in the afternoon, not stopping except for the brief scuffle in the morning.

Actually, since around noon, there hadn’t been any more bites from the Alligator Gars.

But since he was here, he definitely wanted to fish a little longer, especially since someone had asked for his help and naturally, he wanted to handle it efficiently and completely.

As for lunch, Wang Jian Country had ordered fast food right there.

Though it was mediocre, it was just to fill up, so there was nothing much to pick on.

Finally at around two in the afternoon, having fished for one or two more hours without any more bites, Lin Yang spoke to Wang Jian Country, who was naturally very grateful.

In fact, he had felt for a while that there were probably no more Alligator Gars left, as he had been keeping count; Lin Yang had managed to catch 18 Alligator Gars today.

Those Alligator Gars were also costly, costing at least over a hundred each; essentially, the 18 Alligator Gars amounted to nearly 2000 dollars. For both the owner of the Qingshan Reservoir and other nearby fishing field owners, this wasn’t a small amount of money.

As for those Alligator Gars Lin Yang had caught, Wang Jian Country had killed them all, and even dug a hole to bury them, as their entrails and eggs were toxic and had to be handled carefully.

After finishing fishing, Lin Yang packed up his gear and planned to head back.

Wang Jian Country had suggested dinner to express his gratitude properly, but Lin Yang saw it was still early and decided to leave it for another time, as he was still concerned about that piece of precious fish.

"Brother Lin Yang, I really can’t thank you enough for today!" Wang Jian Country said with a grateful face as Lin Yang was leaving.

Lin Yang replied with a smile, "It’s no problem, I also wanted to ask, Brother Jian Guo, what kind of fish do you have here now? Can I fish a couple of them? Just one of each kind would be fine."

He had only thought of this as he was leaving.

"Of course, fish as you please!"

Hearing that Lin Yang wanted to fish for a couple of types of fish, Wang Jian Country naturally agreed, not minding even if it were a hundred of each type, he wouldn’t blink an eye.

Soon, Lin Yang followed him to another nearby pond.

As mentioned before, Wang Jian Country not only operated fishing fields but also had several breeding pits, raising mostly prestigious freshwater species, as there was no point in raising common Carp crucian carp—buying them outright didn’t cost much.

Wang Jian Country’s other pits not only had Ding Sui, but also Golden Trout and Yellow Water Carp, all of which were quite appealing to Lin Yang.

He first caught a Ding Sui, which although pricey, wasn’t very precious.

Because, although it’s rare in our country domestically, it’s overly abundant in Europe, so this fish could only be considered an ordinary species; Lin Yang didn’t receive any special reward after catching it.

As for the Golden Trout, it’s actually a variant of the Rainbow Trout, shiny gold and pretty, but this fish has become too common lately. It’s available in most markets and supermarkets, especially during holidays selling for about thirty per kilogram.

In normal times, it’s even cheaper, only about twenty per kilogram, and during big sales, it can go down to about ten per kilogram. So, what was once a valuable breed is now not worth much.

Now, it should also be mentioned that many unscrupulous merchants use this Golden Trout to pass off as Salmon meat.

Though today’s Salmon is also cultivated, it’s done in offshore net pens, and although they may also have parasites and illnesses due to being in seawater, the proportion of parasites is undoubtedly lower than in freshwater, and the chances of buying a sick fish are much lower.

This isn’t about national differences, but purely the distinction between freshwater and seawater.
