Chapter 55 is a 'big fish'



Lin Jiuyue and Gu Chengyan were busy having fun at their stall.

"Move aside, move aside. This young master wants to see what's going on here. It's so lively."

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like a second-generation rich kid rang out from the crowd. Lin Jiuyue frowned.

Could this person be here to mess up his own place?

"Master, please wait for me, wait..."

Soon, the crowd was pushed aside, and a young man holding a folding fan appeared. The boy looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, and seemed to be about the same age as his younger brother.

"I heard you have some new games to play here?"

The young man fanned himself with the folding fan in his hand. He looked so romantic that Lin Jiuyue wanted to laugh.

"Yes, ten copper coins for ten rings. You can take whatever you put in the ring. You don't have to pay extra for the things in the ring."

Lin Jiuyue patiently explained the rules of the game again.

The boy looked at the things Lin Jiuyue had placed on the ground with a look of disgust on his face.

In my eyes, these things are just like junk. How dare you use them to make a ring?

I don't care about these things.

However, this is a novel way to play. I have to try it myself.

"Hey, hoop tosser, give me ten hoops to play with."

Just then, the person following the young man finally came over.

"Master, when are we going back? The master said that you are not allowed to go out for the next two days, but we..."

The young man turned and glared at his servant.

"How dare you! Do you think a slave like you can interfere with my affairs? Just stay here and watch how I win all this back today!"

When Lin Jiuyue heard this, an aunt-like smile instantly appeared on her face.

This is a big client! As long as I can please this person, I won’t have to worry about these things.

"This young master is obviously very skilled. If you try to trap me, won't you be able to trap the things on my stall?"

Lin Jiuyue flattered the young man while counting the rings on her wrist, waiting for the young man in front of her to tell her how many rings to take.

The young man was delighted to hear this and immediately bought all the bamboo rings in Lin Jiuyue's hands.

"Young Master, there are twenty-one laps in total. Just give me twenty copper coins."

When the boy heard this, he looked displeased.

"Do you think I'm short of a few copper coins? Wait for the bill. I'm going to buy all the items on your stall today."

Lin Jiuyue heard it.

Oh, this is really a big customer!

"Not bad, not bad. You are a very dignified young master, and you can tell at a glance that you are not short of money. Please..."

Lin Jiuyue made a 'please' gesture, then stepped aside and waited for the young man in front of him to 'show off his skills'.

The boy took the bamboo hoop in his hand and tried it out, as if he was trying to find the feeling of putting it on the hoop.

The servant following behind the young man glared at Lin Jiuyue.

I cursed Lin Jiuyue in my heart.

These common people, seeing that their young master was generous, knew how to deceive him.

The things sold at the stall are not worth anything at all. Even if you hit every circle, you won’t lose much.

Moreover, even if these things were caught, the young master might not cook them and eat them. If he took them back, he might even be scolded by the mistress and the master.

The master and his wife were reluctant to blame the young master, because they would definitely be punished. Why is my life so miserable?

"Master, these things are worthless. There's no need to waste time here. Let's go back quickly. If it's too late, you'll be punished again."

"How could I not know this? Do I need a few coins? I just think this is a novel way of playing."

After saying that, he ignored it and started to put on the ring.

Lin Jiuyue felt relieved when she saw that the young man did not listen to his followers.

This is a "big fish". If it runs away, when will I be able to wait for the next "big fish"?

The boy didn't even glance at the dried vegetables closest to him, but instead looked directly at the bacon farthest away.

"Young Master..."

"Shut up! It's not your turn to interrupt me when I'm doing something. If you dare to say anything more, I'll sell you out when I get back."

When the follower heard this, he immediately shut up.

A circle was thrown out, and it almost hit the dried meat. The boy's face looked a little unhappy.

"I just don't believe it. Such a small thing can't be caught."

One loop, two loops, three loops. The boy threw several loops but still couldn't catch the jerky, and he was about to lose his temper.

Lin Jiuyue hurried forward.

"Sir, why don't you try to get someone closer to you first and find a way?"

The young man frowned.

"I'm interested in that dried meat!"

Lin Jiuyue: ...

The boy threw out all the remaining bamboo rings, and this time he finally caught a small piece of dried meat. The boy felt a little satisfied.

"That's what I told you. With my skills, I can easily hit anything with just one throw. Come on!"

People passing by saw that there was something lively to watch here, so they gathered around to watch. Even after the stall had been set up for so long, the number of onlookers had not decreased, but had increased instead.

The young man didn't care about the money at all and kept throwing bamboo rings into the stall.

After trying for a while, the boy's enthusiasm gradually subsided.

A lot of things on the stall were also taken away. However, the most valuable piece of dried meat was still there.

"I don't want to play anymore, let's pay the bill!"

After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

The attendant heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and hurried forward to pay the bill, fearing that if he was a step late, his young master would regret it again.

Lin Jiuyue felt a little guilty. She gritted her teeth, picked up the largest piece of dried meat, and stuffed it into the follower's arms.

"Young Master, you have been circling for so long, I will give you this meat."

The follower curled his lips in disgust.

What kind of status does my son have? Why would he need this piece of dried meat?

"No, my young master doesn't need this piece of jerky."

After listening to this, Lin Jiuyue took the dried meat back.

It’s just right that I don’t like it, I can save some money.

"Is that so? Then I can save the tiger meat."

Hearing the word 'tiger meat', the boy stopped again.

"My dear, what kind of meat is this?"

"Tiger meat."

The young man walked up to Lin Jiuyue and looked at the meat in Lin Jiuyue's hand.

This meat has been marinated and you can't tell what kind of meat it is just by looking at the outside.

If it really is tiger meat, I would be quite interested.

“Is it really made of tiger meat?”

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"It's really tiger meat."

"You're not trying to fool me, are you? Is tiger meat that easy to come by? Do you know how much tiger meat costs? Why are you using it to set up a stall?"

Lin Jiuyue: ...

It really proves the saying that only routines can win people's hearts.

"Sir, if you want to know if it's tiger meat, just try it and you'll know."
