Wang Xuan quickly bowed and nodded to the leader, expressing his gratitude. Then, thinking quickly, he unloaded the bucket of loaches he had caught from the oxcart without hesitation. With a broad smile on his face, he handed it to the leader and said, "Leader, what do you think of this bucket of loaches? If you like them, you can take them too!"

The leader was slightly stunned, then smiled with satisfaction and responded, "Haha, not bad, not bad! We also want loaches, but we can only take a maximum of 800 kilograms per day."

After receiving a positive response from his leader, Wang Xuan felt more at ease.

He patted his chest and assured his leader: "Please rest assured, I will bring you more fresh and high-quality eels and loaches tomorrow!" After that, he drove away happily in the ox cart.

Not long after, Wang Xuan rushed back home. As soon as he entered, he keenly noticed a strange atmosphere in the house, as if an invisible pressure was enveloping the entire house.

So he spoke cautiously, "Let me tell you something."

Then, he described in detail his experience of catching eels today and successfully selling them to the aquatic supply and marketing cooperative.

At first, his family was skeptical about what he said. After all, it seemed unlikely that such a good thing would easily happen to this poor family.

However, just when everyone was confused, Wang Xuan calmly reached into his pocket and slowly took out five brand new Great Unity banknotes and a few scattered Mao Zedong banknotes.

The banknotes glowed temptingly in his hands, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing the real money in front of them, the family members' doubts disappeared immediately.

Wang Xuan struck while the iron was hot and continued to explain to his family, "I have already negotiated a price with the Aquatic Products Supply and Marketing Cooperative. They charge 50 cents per pound for eels, and we can buy them from the villagers at 10 cents per pound.

As for loaches, we'll charge 5 cents per pound. That way, the price difference is huge! We can make a lot of money!"

Although he knew that collecting eels was just a short-term quick-money business, Wang Xuan was already satisfied with it.

He secretly planned to find other more long-term and stable ways to make money after he got the money. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile confidently.

Afterwards, Wang Xuan discussed with his family and decided to spread the news that he was going to buy eels. However, unexpectedly, because his family had always been a notorious poor household in the village, the news did not attract much attention or response.

On the contrary, most villagers were wary of them and even worried that they were setting up a scam.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Wang Xuan's family fell into deep thought...

Wang Xuan thought about it and it seemed that the only feasible way at the moment was to get closer to his good friends.

After all, his brothers treated him well on a daily basis! After making up his mind, Wang Xuan approached his brothers and told them all about his plan to purchase the eels.

Not only that, he also took out two brand new "Great Unity" notes and placed them on the table to show his sincerity.

When the brothers heard this and saw the two "big unity" faces, they patted their chests and promised: "Don't worry, brothers, we will let you see eels tomorrow!" After that, they picked up the wooden barrels and rushed out to catch eels.

At the same time, the other members of the Wang family saw that others did not believe they could catch so many eels, so they had no choice but to go to the fields to work themselves.

Who would have thought that this evening, they would have such a bountiful harvest, catching nearly a thousand kilograms of eels! Looking at the mountain of eels before him, Wang Xuan was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Without saying a word, he paid his brothers on the spot.

The next morning, when Wang Xuan happily pulled a cart full of eels and loaches to the aquatic supply and marketing cooperative, he was surprised to find that the leader had been waiting there for a long time.

It turned out that the superiors were pressing him hard, and the leader was eagerly waiting for him to deliver the goods to his door as soon as possible!

However, when the leader saw that Wang Xuan had only sent 1,000 kilograms of eels and 300 kilograms of loaches, he couldn't help but frown.

He said with difficulty: "This quantity is a bit small... However, since things have come to this, let's do it this way for now. But you must remember to send more tomorrow!" Hearing this, Wang Xuan nodded repeatedly in response.

What was even more unexpected was that news came from the neighboring city, stating that in the next half month, they would accept all the eels and loaches supplied by Wang Xuan, and the more the better!

This undoubtedly gave Wang Xuan a shot in the arm, making him full of energy and determined to seize this rare business opportunity and do a great job!

When Wang Xuan heard this, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, as if he had taken a reassurance pill.

He happily held the six hundred yuan bill handed to him by the finance department and walked towards home with light steps.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Wang Xuan couldn't wait to tell his parents the good news, and hurriedly took out some money so that they could quickly pay off all the debts they had owed.

Then, without hesitation, he handed his father some money and instructed, "Dad, take this money and go to the village to buy eels and loaches! Now that we have money and a market, the villagers will know there's profit to be made and will surely rush to catch them."

Not only that, Wang Xuan had not forgotten the brothers who had lent him money. He generously gave them some of the money, which was exactly the debt he owed in the past.
