Occasionally, a few small fish would swim past. The largest one was only the size of a pinky finger. It seemed that all the big fish had fallen into someone else's net.
Because there were too many people, she didn't dare to draw out the spiritual spring. Therefore, in the morning, she barely caught two small fish. The fish in this mountain stream were famous for being difficult to catch. It was already very good that she could catch a fish.
In the morning, the two of them caught only about ten fish, including the fish basket. She also understood that this good opportunity to catch fish and sell them for money was coming to an end.
After returning home, Lin Siyan stood in the backyard and looked at the red peppers and tomatoes. She couldn't help but pick a tomato and eat it raw. As she ate, she thought about how to make money.
It was temporarily impossible to dig fish ponds and earn money from the fish in the spiritual spring. Selling skewers, other than some seasonings, also required ingredients. It was also a headache. Moreover, it was easy to be imitated. If he did not want to be imitated, he had to have something that others could not learn, such as seasonings like chili or soup.
Lin Siyan looked back at the lively fish in the water tank. Ever since they started catching fish, they had bought a water tank and placed it in the house to store fish. Now that there were fewer and fewer fish, this water tank would probably end up being reduced to just holding water.
Lin Siyan and Li Xiaobo went to the town market again, but this time they went their separate ways. Li Xiaobo brought the fish to the restaurant to find the shopkeeper. She asked Uncle Liu to help deliver the herbs to the medicine shop not far away. Then she carried dozens of kilograms of herbs to the medicine shop.
"Big Sister brought so many herbs again?”When the shop assistant saw Lin Siyan carrying a large bundle of herbs, he hurriedly brought her to the backyard and pointed to a place." Just leave it here."”
Lin Siyan placed the herbs in the designated position, panting as she tidied her messy hair." Not much. Is the shopkeeper not around?"”
"Yes, the shopkeeper was invited by Wan Dizhu's family to see a doctor today.”As the waiter spoke, he untied the dozens of kilograms of medicinal herbs and weighed the fresh and dried ones separately." 55 kilograms of fresh Light Bamboo Leaf Grass and 23 kilograms of dried ones.”
Lin Siyan nodded, calculating the price in her heart as she followed the waiter into the shop.
After the waiter fiddled with the abacus for a while, he took some money from the counter and handed it to Lin Siyan." It's a total of 575 wen. Please count it."”
Lin Siyan took it with a smile. She didn't need to count. Her math wasn't bad enough to take an abacus to slowly calculate. Moreover, the other party might not dare to take less money from her. Moreover, she had long returned the method of calculating an abacus to the teacher in school in her previous life.
Seeing that she didn't even count the money, the shop assistant immediately thought highly of her. He couldn't help but kindly remind her," Sister, my shopkeeper said that we don't need enough light bamboo leaves recently. You might as well pick some common herbs such as honeysuckles and motherwort. If you know about pokeweed, you can also get some. That thing looks like ginseng, but it's poisonous. Don't eat it as a tonic."”
Lin Siyan hesitated for a moment before asking," Then…do you accept the Nine-knot Wind?”
The shop assistant's eyes lit up when he heard that." Yes, yes. However, there are not many people who know about the Nine-knot Wind, so we'll have to wait for the shopkeeper to come back before we know how much it costs per catty.”
Lin Siyan nodded." There's no rush. I'll bring some for you to see next time."”
Lin Siyan didn't read about it in a book about herbs, but she remembered that in her previous life, her mother liked to boil things into tea for everyone to drink. In the local dialect, it was called Jiujie Tea or Bone-saving Tea because it could prevent colds. If it was made into medicinal wine, it would be very useful for injuries. After she arrived, she realized that the people here did not recognize this medicinal herb. Moreover, this medicinal herb did not grow in patches like the Light Bamboo Leaf Grass. Instead, it grew in patches. It would be more troublesome to find this alone.
However, it was always a good thing to be familiar with more herbs. Even if she did not know what the medicinal properties were, it was enough to know that they were medicinal herbs. Anyway, she would not study medicine. After all, traditional Chinese medicine was not something that could be learned easily, especially for someone who could not even read many words.
She came out of the medicine shop with 500 copper coins and went to the market to see if there was a small business that was suitable for her. She didn't expect to see Li Xiaobo selling fish! She was so shocked that she couldn't care less about her original thoughts. She walked directly to Li Xiaobo's side and asked in confusion," Why are you here to sell fish?”
Li Xiaobo tied a rope around a catty of fish and handed it to a customer waiting beside him. Then, he turned to look at Lin Siyan and told her the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that since the last verbal cooperation, Good Taste Restaurant had always made Li Xiaobo their wild fish supplier. The fish in the restaurant was also sold in large quantities, and both parties were very satisfied with this cooperation. However, for some reason, someone heard that Li Xiaobo sold fish to Good Taste Restaurant and also caught wild fish to sell. Those fish were exactly the same as the fish Li Xiaobo sold to the boss, but the price was reduced by half. There was no distinction between the species, and the price was directly 15 wen per catty.
How could he be a businessman if he didn't take advantage of the situation? The shopkeeper looked at them all, and the customers didn't find anything wrong with the fish that Li Hongwu had sent. So the shopkeeper began to negotiate with Li Hongwu, hoping that his fish would be cheaper. He didn't want it to be the same as the ones on the market, but he wanted all the fish to be 20 wen per catty regardless of the variety.
However, Li Xiaobo was unyielding. How could he agree to the shopkeeper's attempt to lower his price after breaking his promise? He would think that he was easy to bully. Therefore, he was so angry that he brought the fish directly to the market to set up a stall.
Lin Siyan wasn't angry. After all, she had already expected this to happen. If she were to talk about sadness, perhaps Li Xiaobo would be even sadder. After all, no one would have thought that the boss who had worked with them for so long would break his promise to others because of this little money. In the end, it was because they were not capable enough that the other party didn't take them seriously.
After hearing the whole story, she didn't say anything more and quickly got into the mood to help Li Xiaobo sell fish. After selling dozens of catties of fish for two and a half hours, there were still about ten catties left. However, it was already the gathering time that Uncle Liu had mentioned, so he had no choice but to pack the fish up and bring it back.
Lin Siyan had just gotten into the car when she heard someone ask," Why haven't you sold out your fish today?”
After she sat down, she looked at the other party and found that it was Madam Sun. She couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth and say," In business, there will always be times when it's not easy to sell.”
"That's true, but every time my Fugui takes dozens of catties of fish, they're all sold out.”Sun shi covered her mouth and laughed as she spoke, her face unable to hide her pride.
"Is that so?" Lin Siyan recalled how Qin Fugui looked the last time she saw him. His rolling eyes always made her uncomfortable." Where are you selling them?”
