Before returning to the guesthouse, the two went to the black market again. They had too many live fish in their space, and only sold 100 catties.
On the way back, Su Ying kept muttering to herself, "We only knew about the black market in Guangshi, but we didn't expect it to sell so little."
"Didn't you already promise that old lady you'd meet her today, a month from now?"
"I did agree. But there are so many live fish in the space, I can't possibly cook them all."
Gu Sinian reminded the confused young woman, "We're not in the family compound right now, but we'll be in Liushu Village in the East City soon."
Su Ying still didn't understand Gu Sinian's implied meaning. "I know. We're going to Willow Village to visit my eldest sister and the villagers."
"Then what?"
No, that's all.
"There are so many live fish in this space, don't you want to turn them into fish chunks?"
"I do want to..."
Realizing what was happening, Su Ying nodded abruptly, suddenly understanding the man's thoughts.
"You mean you want me to use the villagers of Willow Village to make fish chunks?"
"It's not exactly exploitation; you paid her."
"That's true. But... how should we tell the captain about this?"
The men didn't care. Didn't the captain know their background?
“For example, when we passed through Guangzhou, someone needed 500 catties of dried yellow peaches and a lot of fish pieces.”
"You sent another fish fillet recipe to Willow Tree Village, and the brigade leader couldn't be happier."
“You’re right. I’m doing this to increase revenue for Willow Tree Village. When my brother-in-law and sister-in-law aren’t back in Beijing, the brigade leader will take better care of them.”
"That makes sense, but the fish fillet recipe belongs to your Su family, so whether or not you give it to them is up to you."
Su Ying had no interest in developing the catering industry, since that was not the Su family's forte.
All we need to do is rebuild what the Su family previously abandoned.
She learned from her grandfather since she was a child, and that's what she learned. For her, a kitchen disaster, cooking was a chore.
The reason I know how to make fish chunks is because that old lady from my past life taught me.
She actually doesn't know how to make fish fillets; she can think of it, but she hasn't learned how to do it.
She just happened to have a good memory and memorized a few recipes, which she was able to use.
"These recipes were given to me by the aunt who used to be a cook in the Su family. I just happened to have a good memory and remembered them, so they can't really be considered my recipes."
"Actually, I am willing to be kind to the villagers of Liushu Village. When I was first sent down to the countryside, they lent me a helping hand and did not deliberately make things difficult for me."
"The brigade leader protected me and didn't let me suffer at all. It was just a recipe for fish chunks. Actually, Willow Village doesn't have much arable land. We could dig a fishpond to raise fish, and sell live fish or fish chunks. This kind of profit model is very suitable for Willow Village."
Gu Sinian smiled and said, "They will be very grateful to you."
"Actually, I quite like Willow Village, but it's too far away, and it takes too much time to go back."
"I'll come back with you if you want to in the future."
"Okay. It's a deal, no lying."
Gu Sinian put his arm around Su Ying's waist and walked forward, saying, "I never promise things I can't do."
Su Ying looked up at Gu Sinian and said, "You're so kind."
"Let's go back quickly. I wonder how the two children are doing in the space?"
"Don't worry. I'll sleep through the night and be able to get up when we wake up tomorrow."
Gu Sinian suddenly felt a little worried, "How am I going to explain to the child what happened tonight tomorrow?"
Su Ying smiled slyly, "What's the big deal? Kids don't remember things. Just say they both fell asleep on the way there and missed out on the food."
Will this work?
"Why don't you try it and you'll see?"
The next day.
When the two children opened their eyes, they were already on the white bed in the guesthouse.
Xiao Bao heard the noise, rubbed his eyes, and opened his blurry eyes.
The first thing that came into view was Su Ying and Gu Sinian's faces. Xiao Bao's voice was soft and sweet, with a slight hoarseness.
"Mom and Dad... how did my brother and I fall asleep? We haven't even had our big meal yet."
Gu Sinian raised an eyebrow, secretly marveling at how good a child's memory was.
He thought the two little brats had forgotten what happened last night, but he didn't expect them to still remember.
Gu Lichen chimed in, "Yes. I also find it very strange. I clearly remember being very awake last night, so how did I suddenly fall asleep?"
He began to recount, as his wife had said last night, in a detailed and detailed manner—no, it should be said that he started to make up stories.
"I don't know what you two were up to. You were so excited when you went out, but you fell asleep so quickly."
Gu Lichen scratched his head, feeling that Gu Sinian was trying to trick him, but he couldn't find any evidence.
"Okay. Then I'll try not to go out at night from now on. Otherwise, I'll fall asleep before I even get to my destination, making a wasted trip without even getting to eat what I like. Wouldn't that be a waste?"
Xiao Bao nodded his little head, "Yes. We went through all that trouble, only to find it was all for nothing."
Su Ying and Gu Sinian exchanged glances. Are all kids these days so clever?
"What's the big deal? You haven't seen the crazier side of our son."
"what else?"
You'll find out later.
"What? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"He even punches while he sleeps."
"Really?"
"Of course."
Gu Sinian chuckled, “It seems my son is cut out to be a soldier; he’s already learning martial arts at such a young age.”
Two adults are whispering to each other, while two little ones are muttering to themselves.
Su Ying leaned closer to listen to what they were saying, but she didn't expect to hear this.
"Mom and Dad went out for a big meal last night, so they probably secretly knocked us out."
Xiao Bao seemed to be deep in thought, stroking his chin as he pondered; his expression was incredibly adorable.
"But I didn't feel any pain."
Gu Lichen gently patted Xiaobao's head. "You're silly. Mom knows medicine. I remember one night I didn't want to sleep, so Mom used silver needles to prick me, and when I woke up it was already dawn."
"So, brother, you mean that Mom and Dad knocked us unconscious last night so they wouldn't give us any good food, and we woke up when it was already dawn?"
"Perhaps. After all, Mom's acupuncture skills are very impressive."
Xiao Bao thought about how the two adults had cruelly knocked her and her brother unconscious so they wouldn't eat anything delicious. She looked sullen and cute, like a pufferfish.
"My parents went too far. They promised to treat us to a big meal, but they lied to us."
Su Ying knew it was time for her to make her appearance, so she tried her best to distance herself from the situation.
“I didn’t do anything to you last night, and I didn’t stab you. You were the ones who were so weak that you fell asleep.”
The two little heads huddled together, discussing, "Do you want to have a bigger meal?"
"May I?"
"OK."
The two little ones bounced and jumped on the bed, "Finally, we have a big meal! This is great!"
"Yes, yes, yes. We can finally have a big meal, that's great."
"Yay yay yay".
