Chapter 36 She's Very Busy



"Old Chen, tell us what good news you have, we need to go back to fishing after we hear it."

"Yes, yes, you've really piqued our interest! Tell us, what's the good news?"

Seeing that most people had gathered, Chen Qi didn't keep them in suspense any longer, because he knew everyone's time was precious.

So he smiled and said, "Well, a little girl said she'd buy all the fish we caught today, no matter how big or small!"

His words immediately caused an uproar.

Some impatient people couldn't wait to ask him if it was true.

Some of the more rational ones started asking Chen Qi if he was the little girl standing over there.

After seeing Chen Qi nod, he began to ask about the price and whether the girl could afford it.

Sure enough, his question immediately silenced everyone who had been in an uproar.

Yes, they seem to have gotten excited a little too early.

That little girl doesn't look very old. Does she really have that much money to buy all the fish that they caught?

It doesn't seem very reliable.

Chen Qi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He had been so caught up in his joy that he hadn't considered these issues.

He immediately scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "How about I ask her to look into it, and we can all ask her?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, but their enthusiasm had waned considerably.

After all, that little girl is really not that old. What if she was just teasing them?

At such a short distance, and with their voices so loud, Liu Shile naturally realized their suspicions.

Chen Qi came over to invite her somewhat embarrassedly, saying that everyone had some questions they wanted to ask her personally.

She still smiled and nodded as she followed Chen Qi.

So, the more rational person spoke up and asked the question on behalf of everyone.

Regarding the price, Liu Shile only inquired about it at the market, so she simply let them quote their own prices.

We all looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Moreover, the price of big fish cannot be the same as that of small fish.

Although Chen Qi had some ulterior motives, he was ultimately quite honest and kind.

He thought for a moment and said, "In that case, we'll price the big fish at the market price."

However, since you're buying quite a lot, we can offer a slight discount, or you could get some smaller fish for free with the purchase of a large fish.

He seemed a little embarrassed as he said this, but he still had to ask the questions he needed to ask.

Then he added, "But little girl, you're not just teasing us, are you?"

The others looked at her with hopeful eyes.

Liu Shile silently took out two five-yuan bills from her crossbody bag.

He handed it directly to Chen Qi, smiling slightly, and said, "Uncle, consider this ten yuan a deposit. Now everyone can rest assured."

Seeing her like this, everyone was naturally worried, and quite a few people even felt a little embarrassed.

Then they all nodded, indicating that they believed her.

Seeing this, Liu Shile nodded in satisfaction. Now, the farm's pond would no longer be idle.

After agreeing on a time with them, everyone hurriedly ran off to go fishing.

If they work a little harder, their daily income today could probably equal half a month's worth, right?

Anyone who doesn't work hard when such a good thing is around must be a fool!

Before leaving, Liu Shile asked Chen Qi how many fish everyone usually catches.

Chen Qi had been fishing in this area for quite some time, so he briefly explained the situation to her.

She also mentioned that she came at a good time, as this season is when Wuchang fish are most plentiful.

Although Wuchang fish is more expensive than other fish, it is really delicious.

These fishermen, who fish year-round, never eat their catch; they sell it for money.

Mentioning delicious fish, Liu Shile couldn't help but swallow hard.

Then, she hurriedly said goodbye and left, wanting to find out if there was anything good to eat.

Unfortunately, she didn't find anything good to eat after walking around, and only bought some snacks.

Moreover, the taste of this snack was quite ordinary, completely incomparable to Uncle Du's culinary skills.

Does this mean she still has to eat at the state-run restaurant near Uncle Du's place?

Well, let them go. They'll be staying here for a few more days anyway, so going out for a few more meals is perfectly fine!

And so, Liu Shile made the decision happily.

She ran back to the guesthouse, called her second brother, and took the bowls and chopsticks that someone had lent her yesterday to the state-run restaurant for a meal.

Before Liu Shihua could react, she was already sitting in the state-run restaurant.

Then he watched as his younger sister smiled and exchanged pleasantries with the other person.

The chef, who had never shown his face before, was now smiling and talking to his sister at the window.

That girl surnamed Chen, I don't know where she got the stack of books, insisted on giving them to his younger sister.

He stared blankly at everything, wondering when his sister had become so familiar with this person.

When Liu Shile returned to her seat, she saw that her second brother looked a little confused.

She put the book down on the table and asked, "Second brother, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and order some dishes."

Sister Jing said they get quite busy at lunchtime, so if you want some vegetables, you'll have to hurry.

"Ah, oh, it's nothing, I just noticed that you seem to know everyone here very well."

"Lele, order whatever you want to eat. Your second brother is fine with anything."

Liu Shihua is not picky about food at all. As long as he can eat his fill, he is happy.

Having already anticipated this outcome, Liu Shile didn't ask any further questions.

I casually ordered a few dishes and two or three bowls of rice and waited quietly.

She's not picky about food; as long as it tastes good, she'll eat any dish.

In this era, being able to eat delicious and flavorful meals is considered quite good.

There weren't many people there yet, so Chen Jing quickly had them serve the dishes and rice.

The brother and sister ate a quiet and satisfying meal, then said goodbye to Master Du and Chen Jing before heading back.

Back at the guesthouse, Liu Shile used the excuse of needing to take a nap to go to work on the farm.

She bought a lot of seeds today, so she has a lot of work to do.

In addition, she needs to continue her mental training, so her time is actually quite tight.

Why should the farm's time be the same as the outside world's?

Fortunately, crops and animals have a relatively short maturation period.

Unfortunately, she was all alone; she couldn't possibly work on the farm all day long.

So a short maturation time isn't very useful either, since the area that can be controlled with one click is too small.

Therefore, she must train her mental strength well.

Once her mental strength grows stronger, planting and harvesting will be just a thought away, it couldn't be simpler!

It's just that training mental strength is indeed too difficult.

After failing again, Liu Shile shrugged helplessly and tried again.

The Russian, who was taken to the hospital by the crowd, had no will to live.

He messed things up, failing to find out anything about the girl.

Moreover, he was injured and embarrassed the myna bird.

Looking at Xu Qin, whose face was so gloomy it could drip water, he felt very uneasy.
