Upon hearing that he was giving it away, Fu Ming and the others were even more surprised.
What kind of person can eat 200 pounds of eel? That person must be a glutton!
But I'm just selling things, so worrying about all this is unnecessary!
Only Fu Wan remained calm. This wealthy man was always generous, so Fu Wan didn't ask for a particularly high price. She bought eels from Sun Youjin for 2.8 yuan per catty, which sold for 3 yuan at the county market.
These eels actually weighed more than 200 jin (100 kg), about 7 or 8 jin (3 or 4 catties) more. Fu Wan kept them instead of selling them, planning to take them back for Ye Xiaocui and the others to try.
Having grown accustomed to eating sea fish, stir-frying some eel would allow Ye Xiaocui to taste the flavors of her hometown.
After Sun Youjin settled the bill with Fu Wan, he turned around and called out to several waiters who came out to carry the eels.
Perhaps because there were too many people, or perhaps because they were getting impatient, the rooster that was squatting under the passenger seat suddenly raised its neck and crowed loudly.
This shout drew Sun Youjin's attention.
Seeing the spirited rooster, Sun Youjin's eyes lit up.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, are you selling this chicken?"
"Not for sale!"
The voice that answered him was tender yet firm. Sun Youjin looked in the direction of the voice and realized that the speaker was a little girl who was only as tall as his legs.
Looking at the child's face, which bore a resemblance to Fu Wan's, Sun Youjin couldn't help but sigh.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, is this your daughter? She's got some of your courage!"
She looked only a few years old. Normally, a child that age would run away from a stranger, but she dared to continue the conversation.
But, can't we really sell this chicken to him?
Such a robust rooster, if braised, would definitely be a great tonic!
Despite her thoughts, Fu Wan had no intention of selling it. Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu quickly ran to the passenger seat to stand guard, looking as if they were afraid that Sun Youjin would snatch the rooster away.
But the rooster didn't appreciate it and started crowing again at the top of its lungs. Its lively and expressive appearance made Sun Youjin's eyes widen in amazement.
"Big Flower, stop yelling, or the bad guys will kidnap you!"
"That's right, if they capture us, they'll be killed and eaten!"
The two children chatted back and forth, making Sun Youjin so embarrassed that he kept coughing.
Hey, why are you making killing a chicken sound like killing someone?
Fu Wan, Fu Ming, and Qin Anning couldn't stop laughing at the sight, and even Bai Qianzhou, who was standing behind Fu Wan, showed a hint of a smile.
Sun Youjin was disappointed that he couldn't buy a rooster, but in order to change the bad impression he left on the two children, he went to the front desk and found two decorative items.
"These two little ones are yours. Please stop looking at your uncle like you're a thief, okay?"
You can't afford to offend Fu Wan's daughter, or you won't be able to buy good products in the future.
Fu Wan glanced at them; the two ornaments weren't particularly valuable, just two cloth seafood dolls.
One is a blue-green lobster, and the other is a red crab. I don't know where Sun Youjin got them, but they are made so lifelike and cute.
Children of Fu Ling's age all love dolls, and although the two of them liked them, they didn't reach out to take them.
Only after Fu Wan nodded in approval did the two of them accept the gifts one by one.
"Thank you, Uncle."
"Uncle, don't even think about eating big flowers anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Youjin nodded happily, "I won't eat anymore, I won't eat anymore."
Seeing that it was getting late, Fu Wan and the others said goodbye to Sun Youjin and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
With the money she earned, she naturally had to buy some things to take home. Considering the changing seasons and the children's growth, in addition to some daily necessities and biscuits, Fu Wan also bought two sets of clothes for Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu.
Qin Anning and Bai Qianzhou had saved up a few Moutai tickets, and when Fu Wan saw this, she simply used the money from selling eels to spend all the Moutai tickets.
After buying their things, the group headed towards Fu Family Village. Meanwhile, the eldest son of the Fu Family Village learned some shocking news.
"What? The aquaculture net is torn?! Does that mean the fish have escaped?!"
Fu Laoda was extremely anxious. He had just returned from the fields when he was told that Jiang Wanghai was looking for him.
You should know that Jiang Wanghai usually doesn't look for him. Ever since Fu Wan rented an old house for him in the village, Jiang Wanghai has been living a very simple life, going only between his residence and the aquaculture area.
Although Fu Wan initially suggested that Jiang Wanghai eat at her home, he didn't want to bother Fu Wan's family, so Fu Wan would occasionally send him some fish, meat, and shrimp.
Jiang Wanghai, along with Fu Liang and Fang Min, have been working quite well in the aquaculture area lately. When Fu Liang had some free time, he went to take a look and found that the fish and shrimp had grown quite a bit, including a few large yellow croakers that were already as thick as two fingers.
But now, Jiang Wanghai is telling him that the wind and waves tore the net this morning, which is terrible!
The fish and shrimp had finally grown a bit, and now they're all going to escape!
Fu Laoda wanted to ask more questions, but Jiang Wanghai couldn't let him delay any longer.
He hurriedly pulled Fu Laoda along, saying, "Don't worry, not many fish and shrimp have escaped, but you need to hurry up and find some tools to mend the nets and come with me. Those kids are pulling on the fishing nets at sea!"
"Yes, yes, we need to fix the internet first!"
When Boss Fu came to his senses, Ye Xiaocui behind him had already run into the house in a few steps and taken out her usual net shuttle and line.
"Take it, take it! Husband, you should go and take a look right away!"
"Oh dear, Wan isn't home again. The farm can't afford any problems!"
Fu Laoda picked up the net shuttle and the spare fishing net and ran outside, but after running a few steps he remembered that his home was a bit far from the aquaculture area.
He simply pushed Jiang Wanghai onto his own tricycle, then piled all the nets and fishing nets he was carrying onto the vehicle.
"Let's go by bike, bikes are faster!"
Ye Xiaocui watched them leave, her heart filled with anxiety.
She wasn't as good a swimmer as Boss Fu and the others, but when it came to patching the net, Boss Fu was definitely no match for her.
No, she still had to lock the door and go check on the situation!
Just as Ye Xiaocui was closing the door, a familiar horn sounded from outside the courtyard.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaocui was immediately relieved. No, Fu Wan and the others had returned!
"Awan and Aming, hurry to the farm! Something's happened there!"
Ye Xiaocui hurriedly ran out to inform Fu Wan and the others. Upon hearing that the fishing net was torn, Fu Wan's smiling face immediately turned serious.
She handed the things in her hand to Ye Xiaocui. When she learned that Boss Fu had already gone there with fishing nets and shuttles, Fu Wan felt a little relieved.
"Ah Wan, come on, let's go take a look!"
Fu Ming pushed the motorcycle out, and Fu Wan jumped on it in one swift motion.
Bai Qianzhou followed, "I'll go help too!"
Although the back seat of the motorcycle isn't particularly spacious, it's more than enough for two people.
Once they were seated, Fu Ming tightened the accelerator and drove towards the aquaculture area.
When the group arrived, Boss Fu and Fu Liang were already soaked to the bone.
The large animals are currently submerged in the sea, diligently using nets to fill in the gaps in the aquaculture cages.
Fu Wan ran over to take a look and saw that there was a large hole a meter wide in the net cage. Fortunately, Fu Liang gritted his teeth and stood in the waves to pull the hole in the fishing net closed, so that the fish did not all escape.
