In another corner of the market, Qu Qingdai had arrived early and began skillfully arranging the corn. After a full day of practice yesterday, she was already familiar with selling corn. Before long, the customers who had bought corn yesterday saw her again and came up to her.
"Little girl, you are here again today! Are you still selling corn today?" a customer said with a smile.
Qu Qingdai smiled brightly and responded enthusiastically, "Yes, uncle, I brought some fresh corn today! Would you like some?"
Another customer came over and said, "The corn you had yesterday was really delicious. I'm coming back to buy some more today!"
"Really? Thank you for your interest!" Qu Qingdai said happily, "I specially prepared some extra corn today to ensure that everyone can buy the corn they like."
"This corn is really good. The kernels look plump and must taste sweet and juicy."
"Yes, and the price is very affordable. You are really capable, little girl!"
"Really? It's so good? I didn't buy any yesterday, so I came to buy some today."
"Buy with confidence, this little girl's corn is delicious, everyone come and buy some!"
Qu Qingdai was so happy to hear these compliments. While she was busy, she happily communicated with the customers, and the whole market was filled with laughter.
After Jiang Baizhi arrived at the market, she saw from afar the crowded and bustling scene on Qu Qingdai's side, and she couldn't help but feel a secret jealousy in her heart.
She returned to her stall from yesterday and began selling fish today. However, unlike yesterday, she had raised the price of her fish. Not long after, an elderly man who had bought fish yesterday came to the stall and wanted to buy another fish. Seeing the price of the fish was higher than yesterday, he asked in confusion, "Little girl, why are your fish so much more expensive today?"
Jiang Baizhi forced a smile and said, "Uncle, we just started selling this fish yesterday. We needed to attract customers, so we offered a discounted price. But today is different. This is the official sale, so of course it's a bit more expensive!"
"What? You're doing this kind of trick to sell fish? I won't buy it!" The uncle said this angrily and left in a hurry.
"Hey, you, who are you?" Jiang Baizhi muttered in dissatisfaction.
Just then, a passerby came over and kindly reminded her, "Little girl, you need to lower the price of your fish. There are suddenly several more fish stalls in the market today, and their fish are priced much lower than yours. It will be difficult to sell your fish at such a high price."
"How could this happen? Where did they get these fish from?" Jiang Baizhi asked in surprise.
"I heard that they were caught from a small pond. There are so many fish in that pond. They went fishing in groups last night, and they all caught a lot of fish. Look, they are all selling fish at the market today." The man continued in detail.
"What? A small pond?!" Jiang Baizhi's eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't believe her ears. Wasn't that the small pond where she fished yesterday? No wonder she had so few fish today. It turned out they had taken all her fish. They took her fish. This was too much!
"Yes, little girl, you'd better lower the price, otherwise it will be difficult to sell it." After saying that, the man looked at Jiang Baizhi's unhappy face and hurried away.
Jiang Baizhi watched the people leaving, then glanced at the other fish stalls, her heart filled with resentment, yet she felt powerless to do anything. In this live variety show, she could do nothing but force a smile, lower the price of the fish, and start selling.
However, despite lowering her price, she only managed to sell two of her six or seven fish. Looking at the remaining fish, Jiang Baizhi had an idea: why not make a whole fish feast? She had already established a frugal persona that morning, and she could continue to use that image tonight. So, she hurried off with the fish bucket, ready to prepare dinner before all the guests returned.

On the other side, the other guests were busy with their tasks, completely unaware that they were about to face a fish banquet tonight.
Tan Changqing diligently pruned the flowers in the garden, his movements becoming increasingly skillful, no longer requiring further guidance from his uncle. Furthermore, judging by his current pace, he would be able to complete the task successfully by tomorrow morning. His focused expression and deft technique were truly admirable.
On Lin Zhirou's side, the square dance aunts were also immersed in the joy of learning popular dances. Each of them worked very hard, carefully following Lin Zhirou's instructions and striving to master every move. They put in a lot of sweat and effort to make tomorrow afternoon's performance even more exciting.
The renovation of Bairen and Chaoyan's house is largely complete, and they are now putting the finishing touches on the landscaping. Working in perfect harmony, they skillfully place plants around the house, adding a touch of life and vitality to the space.
Meanwhile, Jiang Baizhi had returned to the kitchen and begun preparing tonight's fish feast. She told the livestream audience, "Business isn't very good today, so there's still quite a bit of fish left. To avoid wasting, I'm going to try some different cooking methods. I hope everyone enjoys them."
At this moment, the barrage in the live broadcast room was also very lively, and the audience expressed their opinions one after another.
