1.2.3.4.5......
The five children were all staring at the fermented fish in his hand.
When Pan Yuan raised his head, the children were startled and took a step back in unison, but their eyes remained fixed on the fermented fish in Pan Yuan's hand.
Under such gazes, even if Pan Yuan still had an appetite, he couldn't eat anymore.
Pan Yuan originally intended to feed the children some fish, but seeing how longingly the children were looking at it, he couldn't bear to do it.
But upon closer reflection, he wondered if the children could even eat it. If something went wrong, he'd be torn apart by the children's parents.
There are fewer children now, usually only one or two per family, and they are all very precious to them.
So, under the watchful eyes of the children, he silently put the lid on and put away the fermented fish.
Then a grandmother next to her bought some fermented fish from Lin Zhou's stall and saw her eldest grandson staring longingly at the fermented fish in Pan Yuan's hand. But when the man saw her grandson staring at the fish, he didn't even feed the child a bite. How stingy!
His face immediately darkened, and he pulled his grandson away.
"Why are you so greedy? You're staring at what other people are holding. They won't give you any. Grandma bought some, let's go home and eat!"
Pan Yuan: ......
This is insane!
Pan Yuan was so angry he almost started cursing.
Who is it here?
Do I owe you something?
"I'm sick, but I can feed your grandson. Would you dare let him eat it?"
Pan Yuan was not a good-tempered person; if he was offended, he would immediately retort.
What do young people these days mean by "swallowing their pride"? They just want to go crazy and destroy everyone if they feel bad about themselves.
The old lady didn't expect Pan Yuan to talk back, and her face turned green after hearing what he said.
Seeing the gazes of a group of people around him, whether out of fear or knowing he was in the wrong, he pulled his grandson away with a livid face.
Lin Zhou almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene.
This fisherman's temperament is just to his liking.
"Handsome, ignore her. That old lady is notorious in the neighborhood. She expects everyone to give way to her grandson, acting like she has a throne to inherit."
"Yes, the adults were unreasonable, but the child was quite sensible, otherwise I wouldn't let my child play with her child."
"I guess it's because my parents taught him well. There are plenty of old men and women like this. I once encountered a grandmother who spoiled her grandson. Goodness, she taught the child to hit people. When I encounter children like this, I just grab my child and run away. There's no point in reasoning with them."
"What's that? There's a family in Building 1 where the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are taking care of the child together. They fight every day at home because of their conflicts. It's incredibly exciting."
The customers who buy fermented fish here are all from the same neighborhood.
At this time, the children get out of school and everyone takes their kids downstairs to play.
When we met, we couldn't help but chat for a bit longer. We ate the fermented fish with small toothpicks, poking at each piece one by one, and the conversation just wouldn't stop.
Lin Zhou listened to the gossip among the mothers while packing up the fermented fish, and found it quite interesting.
Pan Yuan even stopped eating the fish in fermented rice wine and instead listened from the crowd.
"The family upstairs from me is the same. Their child is jumping around at home all day long, and it's like an earthquake in our house. When I go up to them to talk to them, they say that the child is too young and they can't control him. It makes me so angry."
The man, who had just finished get off work and returned to his neighborhood, saw Lin Zhou selling fermented fish and turned the corner to come over. He listened to everyone complaining in line and couldn't help but join in.
Then, as they talked, the topic returned to Lin Zhou.
"Boss, where do you usually set up your stall? This fermented fish is so delicious. I bought a pound yesterday and ate it all as a snack when I got home. Give me two pounds today."
"I was originally setting up a stall at the entrance of the vegetable market, but someone pulled me here to your neighborhood. I'll go to the entrance of the vegetable market after you finish shopping."
Lin Zhou was truly helpless about this.
The task location is at the entrance of the vegetable market. Why are they being taken to people's residential areas to sell things every day?
The homeowners, unaware of the situation, assumed that Lin Zhou was a resident of their community and that's why he was selling his property.
Unexpectedly, the person was actually setting up a legitimate stall in the vegetable market, but was pulled over by people from their neighborhood.
Who was so prescient!
Knowing there was good food, they would take people and vehicles away first.
"No wonder, I was wondering why there weren't many customers at the stalls in the neighborhood."
The person speaking clearly didn't notice how many people were buying fermented fish at the scene.
“I bought a pound yesterday, and today I brought my own basin to buy more. If I don’t buy more, it won’t be enough to eat.”
"This fish is really delicious. I bought it home and put it there to eat as a dish for dinner, but before dinner time, I ate it like a snack. I kept eating it piece by piece until it was all gone. It was so fragrant."
It was rush hour, and the neighborhood was bustling with people coming and going. Before long, the two large buckets of fermented fish that Lin Zhou had brought were all gone.
Yesterday, many people probably didn't realize the appeal of fermented fish, but today, quite a lot of them are being bought.
Lin Zhou no longer needs to go to the entrance of the vegetable market to continue selling; he can pack up his stall as soon as he leaves the residential area.
Seeing that there weren't many fermented fish left, Pan Yuan bought two more jin.
He doesn't like eating fish, but he likes the fermented fish made by Boss Lin!
Lin Zhou packed up his stall and walked to the entrance of the residential area. The security guard waved to him again and stopped him.
"Hey buddy, give me another order of fermented fish."
Lin Zhou: ......
"Sir, we're sold out."
"What? Sold out!?"
The kind and amiable old man jumped three feet high in an instant, his eyes wide with surprise.
Lin Zhou didn't expect everyone to buy so much; two large buckets sold out in less than an hour.
"That's all, sir. I'll save you a box for tomorrow."
