There were still a few people on the ox cart on the way back. Everyone didn't buy much because they came to town for business and not to go to the market. Therefore, when they saw the big and small bags of things that Lin Siyan and her husband had, they all cast curious gazes.
"Brother, you sold out the fish so quickly?”A man who looked like a thin monkey stared at the empty fish baskets and then looked up at the bags of things by Lin Siyan's feet. His eyes were rolling around, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"I have already informed the restaurant owner.”The corner of Li Xiaobo's mouth curled up. Seeing everyone's curiosity, he thought for a while and explained,"I often work with the restaurant. They specifically asked for this fish, so I just sent it directly."”
"This should have sold for a lot of money, right?"
Li Xiaobo smiled and said," Not much. The fish in the mountain stream are hard to catch, and the price is about the same as the fish raised by others.”
"The fish in the mountain stream are as slippery as loaches. It's very impressive that you can catch so many.”Someone praised sincerely.
"That's much more powerful than loaches. Loaches in the fields are easy to catch.”
Just as everyone was about to leave the topic, the thin monkey-like man spoke again," Does that restaurant ask for fish every day?”
Shou Hou's words immediately pulled everyone's attention back. Everyone looked at Li Xiaobo, waiting for his answer.
"The boss didn't say anything. He just told me to send over any wild animals.”Li Xiaobo said half-truthfully," If you guys are free, you can learn from me to catch fish and sell them. Even if you don't earn much, you should at least have enough money to eat."”
Li Xiaobo's words moved the crowd, but soon, someone regained his senses." I haven't even finished my farm work yet. How can I have time to catch fish? Besides, it's not easy to catch fish in a day or two. The fish in the mountain stream are famous for being difficult to catch."”
"I think what Brother Xu said is feasible.”The skinny monkey man's eyes flashed." Although we can't hunt, catching fish isn't that difficult. Moreover, we don't have to worry about encountering ferocious beasts. If we can catch a fish basket, we might be able to sell it for a few hundred coins. A few hundred coins is not a small sum.”
The skinny monkey man's words made the villagers, who had already rested their minds, come to life again. Lin Siyan finally couldn't help but turn around and size up the skinny monkey man. Because there weren't many women going to town this time, and she didn't like to talk, she didn't say anything other than greeting her when she got into the car. She was so happy that she looked at the two sides of the road, but her ears were listening to the conversation of the few men in the ox cart.
After looking at the skinny monkey man a few times, she overlapped him with the person in her memory. This skinny monkey man was none other than Tan Fugui, the husband of the Sun family, who had intentionally or unintentionally ruined her reputation when she was in the ox cart at the market last time. Both husband and wife were very shrewd and good at scheming. Unfortunately, such a shrewd couple liked to haggle over trivial matters in the neighborhood.
In Lin Siyan's memory, her evaluation of this couple was filled with disdain, but it was someone else's lifestyle after all, so it was not her place to say anything. However, when he saw the other party's rolling eyes, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
She also knew that it wouldn't be long before everyone knew that she and Li Xiaobo were selling fish. By then, there would definitely be more people catching fish. Even if they could catch fish, they wouldn't be able to catch so many every time. Even if she used the fish from the spiritual spring to sell, sooner or later, people would find out that something was wrong.
Lin Siyan couldn't help but think of a novel she once read. The protagonist had the same cheat as her, and he used it to bring his parents and relatives to become rich. Now that she thought about it, it was actually full of loopholes. The villagers only mocked the protagonist and didn't follow the protagonist to catch fish in the river. After staying in this era for almost two months, she had clearly realized that the people here were similar to the people in her previous life. They would not lag behind just because of the lack of resources. Everyone knew how to use their brains to make money, not to mention that there were ready-made methods.
A novel was a novel after all. Lin Siyan sighed. Those problems that were full of loopholes were deliberately ignored. The readers only saw how the protagonist used the cheat to fight against the unruly people and become rich. They ignored the dynasty that the protagonist was in. Everyone was not stupid, so how could they be above everyone? Especially a weak woman.
After getting off the ox cart, the two of them moved the things back home. Seeing her frown, Li Xiaobo asked with concern,"What's wrong?" He looked worried as he got out of the car.”
Lin Siyan moved a stool and sat down." Tell me, how many times can we sell fish?”
"What do you mean?" Li Xiaobo put down the things in his hand and asked.
Lin Siyan briefly explained her concerns, but she didn't expect Li Xiaobo to not be worried at all. Instead, he asked her with a smile," You're worried that our fish business will be taken away after they say a few more words, so you're worried?"”
" Yeah," Lin Siyan said embarrassedly." I want to earn more money so that I can pay off my debts and save money to build a new house." Although the bamboo house was good, it was still a little uneasy. If she had children in the future, she would have no place to sleep.”
Li Xiaobo glanced at her in surprise. He didn't expect her to think about such a long-term problem. He couldn't help but imagine having a child of his own with Lin Siyan, and the child would grow up in the bamboo house... but there was only one bed in the bamboo house. If there was another little guy, even if he could sleep with the two of them when he was young, the child would have to be independent when he grew up, and there wouldn't be enough room for a bed in the house.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that Lin Siyan was still waiting for him to explain. He smiled slightly and explained," It doesn't matter even if the business is stolen. Even if fish are sold everywhere in town and the Good Taste Restaurant doesn't accept our fish, we can still sell them in the county town. Moreover, if there are more people catching fish, there will be fewer fish. Relying on this isn't a long-term solution.”
There was another reason Li Xiaobo didn't mention. He knew better than anyone how the fish in the mountain stream tasted. Although he didn't know why it suddenly became delicious, he believed that it was probably temporary. Once the taste of the fish changed, the fish here wouldn't sell well. At most, he would seize the opportunity to catch more fish and sell more money.
Lin Siyan suggested," What do you say we find a way to save some money and find someone to dig a fish pond? It didn't need to be big. He would first dig a small field and expand it when he had money.”
Hearing this, Li Xiaobo was moved. He knew that there were several barren paddy fields behind the mountain stream.
