“Little Fu Bao, didn’t you say you wanted to buy grouper? Why aren’t you buying it anymore?” Niu Baolan asked.

Xiao Heng also looked at Xiao Fubao with curiosity.

"When the butler led us into the Deng family's house, I saw where they kept grouper. There's a small hole under the bridge! And that old lady Deng looks so fierce and shrewd; she definitely won't sell us the fish."

Therefore, Xiao Fubao plans to wait patiently for the opportunity to come to him.

I bought some fishing gear and went around to the field behind the Deng family's house to catch fish.

She's really lucky.

The little fish fry that escaped were quite cute. They only swayed their tails and didn't swim at all, as if they were just waiting for Xiao Fubao to catch them. Their tiny tails swayed back and forth, as if they were saying to Xiao Fubao:

"Arrest me! Arrest me!"

Little Fu Bao's little heart is completely melted by cuteness.

The little fish in the pond kept bubbling up like they were free. Little Fu Bao caught twenty little fish in a row, and the hole was blocked up.

The Deng family sent people to check on the whereabouts of these small fish fry.

The clever little guy, seeing that he couldn't catch the baby grouper, grabbed the jar of water that held the fish and ran away.

"Stop! Stop! You little brat!" The Deng family steward chased after him, panting heavily, but a man is no match for a horse.

Little Fu Bao sat on the cart, turned around and made a face: "Yo yo yo!"

"Hey, that little brat!"

"Giddy up!" The horse galloped off, and Little Lucky Baby ran off too.

Fish often escape from fishponds.

"Little Fu Bao, does this count as stealing?" Niu Baolan asked.

"How can this be considered stealing? No, it's not. That hole in their house wasn't dug by us; the fish made it themselves, and they didn't notice!" "And these fish weren't from their house either."

Little Lucky Baby is a master at finding bargains.

"oh!"

The three little girls instantly lost their sense of guilt.

The group went to the gold shop and exchanged ten gold leaves, leaving them with four hundred taels of silver. Each gold leaf was worth ten thousand copper coins, or twenty taels of silver.

As soon as they got back, Xiao Fubao and Xiao Heng bought two small water tanks from Niu Er. Their family had experience raising carp, so raising grouper wasn't too difficult for them.

Looking at the water vat that Xiao Heng bought from Niu Er's family, Chen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Third son's wife, why did they buy two water vats?"

While cracking sunflower seeds, Little Chen rolled her eyes and said, "How would I know? If you want to know, go ask someone!"

In farming families, every household has a water vat, which is not particularly strange. It's just that because the Niu family has become wealthy, Chen is more careful about everything they do.

Chen thought to herself, "Could it be pickled vegetables? It must be pickled vegetables!"

Thinking of the pickled vegetables they made at home and the matter of renting a shop for the family, Chen asked, "Eldest son, how's the shop rental going?"

"Money is no object, is it? We just couldn't reach an agreement!" said Chen's eldest son.

Upon hearing the words "shortage of money," Chen's eyes lit up, and she said, "I have an idea!"

"Mom, do you have any ideas?" Chen's eldest son asked.

"Borrow from Niu Da," Chen said.

Little Chen said, "Mother, their family has had a bad relationship with our family since his mother's time. Do you think they would lend us the money?"

"I have a way to get him to lend it!" Chen said mysteriously. "Just wait and see the show!"

When Xiao Fubao took out the money from selling the Ganoderma lucidum and the grouper fry, the whole family was somewhat shocked.

What was shocking was not that four hundred taels of silver notes were sold.

"Where did you get these grouper fry?" The Deng family was able to have grouper because they had connections with a wealthy family in the capital.

Even Jia Dafu from Jiangzhou couldn't get his hands on these grouper fry.

"Daddy, I found this by chance!" Little Fu Bao said.

That's true, his daughter has always been lucky.

If you touch a seashell, you can find a pearl.

You can find ginseng just by taking a stroll in the fields.

Niu Da didn't mention raising grouper anymore, but instead started talking about finding a martial arts master. "In the past few months, we've selected three martial arts masters. In addition, we've also hired a dancer from the music troupe for Fourth Sister."

Of the three martial arts masters, only one was a martial arts graduate, and he was recommended by Ji Ninghai. However, the other two had already been decided to compete before choosing one of them.

Therefore, Niu Da couldn't refuse.

The competition was scheduled for the second day of the second lunar month.

There are still seven or eight days left.

Xiao Heng pondered for a moment. He remembered that when he met the little girl in his previous life, she told him that the reason her family was killed was because of the collusion between this martial arts master and outsiders. Moreover, her master coveted the beauty of her and her daughters.

But she never mentioned that it was her master's name.

In her previous life, the little girl was not the goddaughter of the Jiangzhou Prefect, so there shouldn't have been any reason for her to recommend a martial arts graduate to be her teacher.

Those two people, whoever they are, cannot be kept. It seems that only the martial arts graduate recommended by Ji Ninghai is relatively reliable.

He had to find a way to ensure that neither of them could stay.

Xiao Fubao was inexplicably resistant to the idea of ​​becoming a disciple, because Niu Baozhu wanted to learn martial arts, so Niu's father thought that girls should learn martial arts so that they could defend themselves and thieves.

The salary offered by the Niu family was also quite generous.

A martial arts master earns thirty strings of cash a month.

Xiao Fubao thought that raising fish and pearls both require a long-term investment, and the fish would take at least three months to sell.

She is struggling to decide what kind of business to start.

Then Chen Yu said:

"I heard that the Chen family rented a shop in town today, planning to sell pickled vegetables there!"

Little Fu Bao had a sudden inspiration: "Mom, why don't we rent a small shop and sell pickled vegetables? We've always sold our pickled vegetables individually, isn't that a waste?"

Chen Yu was conflicted:

"But the commercial street in the county desperately needs money!"

Xiao Fubao said, "Yes! The commercial street needs money. We still have more than 10,000 taels of silver and two boxes of jewelry at home, right? We can use that for now. Anyway, the commercial street won't be finished in a year. Besides my second sister, I'm the richest person in our family. We can rent an existing shop, sell pickled vegetables on one side, and build the commercial street on the other side."

"I heard from my older sister that our family used to run a restaurant and sell pickled vegetables. We must have had some customers! We should also make some braised dishes and dried vegetables!" Little Fu Bao took out three hundred taels of the four hundred taels of silver notes and said:

"However, the baby wants to share the profits with Daddy and Mommy; the baby wants to get rich."

Shen Yu and Niu Da chuckled upon hearing this:

"good!"

Ji Duo said, "Uncle, Aunt, didn't my family send out a lot of betrothal gifts before? Why don't we use that?"

Niu Dadao: "That's something you'll use when you marry Meihua. You can't touch it, no matter how little money you have!"

Ji Duo scratched his head and quietly asked Ji Ying, "Sister, what is marriage?"

Ji Ying said, "Getting married means you'll marry Meihua as your little wife, your bride!"

Ji Duo's face flushed red instantly.

The next day, Niu Da selected a shop in town. Since he used to run a restaurant, he didn't even need to pay for renovations.
