Looking at the fish swimming in the basin, Mo Yuan looked up at the dog, his eyes filled with questions and shock!
If I'm not mistaken, aren't these the same ones I saw in the dog's bowl this afternoon?
What happened to the fish he collected?
He went to the county town for a big shopping spree, eager to come back and show off his skills.
this?
The dog felt uneasy under Mo Yuan's gaze and could only point towards the base of the south wall. Mo Yuan followed his gaze and discovered several children squatting there, each with a small bowl in front of them.
With a face full of apprehension, she looked at Mo Yuan with a complicated expression.
Mo Yuan was completely baffled. He looked at the children, then at the dog.
The dog shrugged, "Brother, there's nothing I can do. They don't believe me and insist on waiting for you!"
Hearing this, Mo Yuan suddenly realized, "Damn it, is my reputation really that bad?"
No one believes what you say or the promises you make!
But he couldn't be bothered with that now, and just told the dog to call the people over.
He went into the room and took out a scale. With the help of his mother, Yu Xiu'e, he finally managed to weigh the fish that the three children had brought separately.
They didn't each get as much as the dog, but together they still got quite a lot.
After calculating the bills, Mo Yuan took out small bills and coins (a few cents) in front of him.
The money was given to three children; the child who received the most received nearly 50 cents, and the child who received the least received 30 cents.
This delighted the three children, who thanked Wen Moyuan profusely and jumped for joy.
"Third Brother, are you still collecting them tomorrow? We'll catch them and bring them to you again!"
Mo Yuan rolled his eyes at them. Now they know to call him Third Brother.
"Take it! If you catch them by tomorrow evening, just send them here! I'll give you the money in person!"
Upon hearing Mo Yuan's words, the three children immediately bowed deeply in gratitude and then vanished in a flash. They were taking the money to curry favor with their families!
At an age when you don't know anything about fishing or catching shrimp, you can already earn money for your family. That's something to be proud of!
Looking at the harvest in the basin, Mo Yuan sighed. This wasn't much at all!
I was originally planning to show off my culinary skills today and cook a delicious meal for my family.
Judging from this, we should be more frugal and just take a little bit of the flavor! Otherwise, if we eat it all up in one meal, there won't be any left to sell tomorrow!
Mo Yuan calculated the amount of money for Gouzi again, and despite Gouzi's repeated refusals, he still gave it to him!
Just as I was about to call the dog to help clean the fish, there was a sudden commotion outside, as if a lot of people had arrived.
The courtyard wall of Mo Yuan's house was made of low adobe bricks and did not block the view at all.
It turned out that some more children had arrived, accompanied by adults!
The voice could be heard before the person even entered the room.
"Hey kid, I heard you're buying fish. Your brother caught some, see if you want them?"
"Mo Yuan, the kids in my family caught a lot of fish today. I heard you wanted some, so I brought them to you right away!"
Seeing so many opportunistic and secretly observing people, Mo Yuan wasn't going to bother with them. Alas, saving his image was a long and arduous task!
"Come, come, grandpa, auntie, come on over, let me take a look. As long as the quality is fine, I'll buy it! You know the prices, right? Two cents for a long bunch, one cent for a bunch within two fingers, and one and a half cents for the middle bunch!"
"Oh, we know, we know. You've always been kind, we know that. We'll go with your price!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Look at my fish, I was so afraid they'd die, I changed the water so many times, I took better care of them than I would my own son. Look at them, they're jumping around like crazy!"
Mo Yuan gave a wink, and he and Gouzi checked each one. They scooped out the few dead fish that had floated to the surface, but the rest were all in good condition!
They started weighing them separately!
After counting, weighing, and calculating the accounts one by one, each family received a few cents, and they were all grinning from ear to ear as they rubbed their money!
This brat in the family caught some fish that he couldn't sell, and he actually managed to get cash for them. In the end, he earned more than the adults. What a fool!
"Mo Yuan, are you still going to collect them tomorrow? I'll have your brothers go and set the cages again!"
"I will accept it, as long as it's the same quality as today, I'll still accept it at the same price! But I need to make some things clear first. You won't find another place like this at this price. Before you deliver it to me, you have to make sure it's cleaned thoroughly, without any weeds, and I won't accept any dead fish! Also, don't let very young children go with me, otherwise I won't take them if they catch something! Otherwise, it would be bad if something happened. You'd better think about this carefully."
Also, I actually only buy the small fish that nobody wants. I just bought the bigger ones because I saw you couldn't sell them. I don't want too many!
Mo Yuan must make things clear, otherwise if the news gets out tomorrow, the entire village, young and old, will have to go fishing in the river.
Not only is it dangerous for very young children, but it would also be difficult to handle if he caught a large fish! Making too much noise is not good.
Hearing Mo Yuan say this, everyone assured him that they would still let these teenagers catch the animals in the cages.
It won't interfere with the adults' work in the fields, and it can also earn some tuition money!
Then one by one, they took the money, led their children, and left satisfied!
As these people departed and as darkness gradually fell, the entire Xiaomo Village was enveloped in a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
Today's explosive news spread throughout the entire village.
Two major events happened in the village today, both related to Mo Youshan's third son: one was what happened between Mo Yuan and Lin Xue this morning, and the other was what happened this afternoon when Mo Yuan spent money to buy fish.
Everyone was a bit confused. What was wrong with Mo Youshan's third son?
It seems different from before!
Mo Yuan, however, had no time to pay attention to those rumors.
