Chapter 185 Did I say the wrong thing?
Song Chuhuai: "Yeah."
He Xiaoshuang: "I'll go too."
Song Chuman: "Everyone go, everyone go."
Soon, the three children went up the mountain, cut down the trees, and processed and assembled them on the mountain.
…
On the other side, Xiao Xuanli was sitting upstairs near the side door of Tianwai Tower today. As soon as Sun Xiaohe's carriage came back, he would be able to see it.
Sure enough, within the time that Manager Jiang said, the carriage appeared quickly.
Xiao Xuanli went downstairs quickly, and the carriage stopped just in time.
Xiao Xuanli glanced inside the carriage and asked disappointedly, "Didn't the girl come with you?"
Sun Xiaohe replied respectfully, "Sir, are you talking about A'man? I just asked her, and she said she had something to do at home today. She had to deal with jellyfish and make flower pots, so she was a little busy and didn't have time to come."
"Flower pot?" Xiao Xuanli thought of the wooden pot Song Chuman had made last time and asked eagerly, "Have her seeds sprouted?"
Sun Xiaohe was a little confused: "Seeds sprouted? It's so cold now, how can they sprout?"
Xiao Xuanli didn't ask any more questions. Suddenly, he saw today's seafood and walked forward in surprise. "Is this an octopus?"
Sun Xiaohe: "Yes, sir, it was still bought from the Song family."
Shopkeeper Jiang also came over and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. "This...this is too big. I have never seen such a big octopus in my life."
As he spoke, he saw that the octopus didn't move, so he touched its tentacles.
Unexpectedly, the octopus seemed to be frightened and suddenly twisted its body.
Everyone took a step back cautiously at the same time.
Shopkeeper Jiang exclaimed in surprise, "It's still alive. It's rare that he can still be alive after traveling for such a long time."
Sun Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Octopus was still alive. "I think so too, so even if the Song family asked for fifteen taels of silver, I agreed without authorization."
Shopkeeper Jiang waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't worry, this octopus is so big, and it's still alive. Let's put it in front of the entrance of Tianwailou to attract customers. Our Tianwailou will definitely become famous and we can hold an octopus banquet."
"By then, let alone fifteen taels, even fifty taels can be earned."
Sun Xiaohe felt relieved.
Xiao Xuanli pondered for a moment and asked, "Did the Song family also find the giant octopus while fishing?"
Sun Xiaohe replied, "Indeed."
Xiao Xuanli didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went to the stable, rode his horse straight to Qingyu Village.
Seeing this, Sun Xiaohe looked at Shopkeeper Jiang and asked in panic, "Did I say something wrong just now?"
Shopkeeper Jiang consoled him, "Of course not. Something must have happened to him suddenly."
Sun Xiaohe felt relieved again.
Shopkeeper Jiang looked at the other seafood and stroked his beard, saying, "Two-headed razor clams, squid, horse-faced crabs, silver pomfret, and clams. Not bad. Add these to the giant octopus, and there will be no shortage of customers."
"While the octopus is still alive, hurry up and get it to the main entrance to spread the word. Then send people out to various places to shout. We must get as many people as possible to see the excitement in the shortest possible time."
Sun Xiaohe nodded and quickly went to do it.
The effect was much better than Manager Jiang had expected.
When the people in the city knew that there was a giant octopus in Tianwailou, they all came to watch the fun.
After enough people gathered outside the restaurant, Manager Jiang said that there would be an octopus banquet today and everyone was welcome to come in and enjoy it.
Rich people have everything they need, so they love to eat rare and unusual things.
Therefore, even though they didn't know what the giant octopus tasted like, many wealthy people went to Tianwailou to eat.
