Chapter 320 The Fish Fry the Villagers Want
The morning sunlight streamed down, casting dappled shadows in the courtyard.
Wan Qiqi felt particularly happy watching the fish swimming happily in the large wooden tub.
She is a modern person.
The fish bought at the mall are considered modern.
If she can survive well in this world, so can the fish!
These are the fish fry that Wan Qiqi promised the villagers. Having received the money, she should take them back as soon as possible.
Although she took advantage of the villagers, she assured them that they wouldn't lose out by following her.
Um... she didn't know if she would lose money, since it was her first time raising fish and she didn't have much experience.
Hearing the noise outside, Wu Gousheng guessed that Wan Qiqi had gotten up, so he immediately got up as well.
He put on his clothes as he walked towards Wan Qiqi.
When he saw the large basin of small fish, he was stunned. "Sister Qi, are you... selling small fish?"
Wan Qiqi shook her head and said, "These are for the villagers of Lotus Village. It was already arranged a few days ago!"
"Oh." Wu Gousheng nodded as if he understood, then asked in surprise, "Sister Qi, why didn't you call me when you went to buy the small fish? I could have helped you!"
Wan Qiqi felt somewhat helpless seeing Wu Gousheng's eagerness to take on more work.
Has he forgotten that he's the local bully?
They've been following me around for so long, like a lackey!
Wan Qiqi sighed and said, "It's alright, I got it back! But there's something I need your help with."
"What is it, Sister Qi? Just tell me." Wu Gousheng patted his chest, looking as if he was ready to die.
Wan Qiqi patted Wu Gousheng's shoulder. "It's nothing serious. I just need you to go back to the village and deliver the fish fry to the villagers. Bring Pingping over tomorrow."
Wu Gousheng was actually about the same height as Chen Yongnian, so when Wan Qiqi patted Wu Gousheng's shoulder, it was obvious that he was a head taller than her, which looked a bit comical.
However, Wu Gousheng was used to Wan Qiqi's behavior.
He nodded and said, "Okay! Aren't you going back?"
"I probably won't be going back for a while! Let's get the restaurant up and running first!" Wan Qiqi frowned slightly, looking a little worried.
After tasting the food yesterday, she was very worried about the restaurant's opening.
With dishes like that, no matter how many fancy dishes she comes up with, she probably won't be able to keep customers!
"Alright, you can go and handle the restaurant matters. Leave the village affairs to me!" Wu Gousheng still looked very confident.
It seemed that as long as he was by Wan Qiqi's side, he would always be full of energy.
Wan Qiqi was unaware that, to Wu Gousheng, Wan Qiqi was not only an older sister, but also a mentor.
Without Wan Qiqi, he might still be immersed in his own world, acting as a local tyrant in the village, thinking he's very powerful.
But after passing through Yuzhou and Lianshan, Wu Gousheng realized just how insignificant he truly was.
Only by staying by the side of a smart person like Wan Qiqi can he grow effectively.
Wan Qiqi hesitated for a moment, then said, "When you come tomorrow, please bring An'an and the little monkey too! They probably haven't played in town yet..."
Wang Zhi needs to take care of Chen Siyu; if An'an and the little monkey are left at home, they won't be able to be properly looked after.
Before opening, she could let the two kids play in the restaurant and see Pingping at night, just like at home.
"Also, have Yongliang come to town no later than the ninth day of the lunar new year. There might be things that need your and Yongliang's help when the business opens. Don't worry, you'll be paid!"
For Wu Gousheng, he would help even without wages.
Wan Qiqi continued to give Wu Gousheng instructions on various matters until Erpang and Tie Niu came out, at which point she stopped.
Thus, Wu Gousheng drove his mule cart back to Lianhua Village with a large basin of fish fry.
Under the blazing sun.
The early spring sunshine carries the scent of fresh grass, making one feel very comfortable.
Wu Gousheng, however, was worried that the fish fry behind him would die from sun exposure, so he hurried away.
He quickly parked the mule cart in front of the Chen family's house.
In the yard, the three little ones were squatting together, playing something.
Wu Gousheng jumped off the mule cart, tied the mule to a post at the door, and walked into the yard. "Pingping, An'an, Little Monkey, where are the adults at home?"
The three little ones looked up in surprise at the sound.
When he saw that only Wu Gousheng had appeared, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
Only the little monkey stood up and stammered, "Dog, Sheng, brother, sister... where's sister?"
Wu Gousheng casually ruffled the little monkey's hair and said, "She's busy in town. I'll take you to see her tomorrow."
The other two little ones immediately ran over upon hearing this.
"Really?" Pingping asked.
"Mom said, only dogs lie!" An'an looked at Wu Gousheng with her big, innocent eyes, full of expectation.
Wu Gousheng "..."
He didn't understand why An'an always talked more than Pingping, and why her words could always make people choke up.
Could it be that the girl inherited Sister Qi's true skills?
Just then, a noise came from inside the house.
Li Chongniang came running at the sound, "Gousheng, are you the only one who came back?"
Wu Gousheng stopped chatting with the children and looked up with a grin, "Sister Qi is busy with the restaurant and can't leave."
"Sister-in-law Yongxing, do you know which people in the village have ordered fish fry from Sister Qi?" he asked.
"Fish fry?" Li Chongniang's expression clearly showed that she didn't know about this. "I don't know. Maybe my sister-in-law told Yongxing or Yongliang. They are currently diverting water up the mountain with Chenli. They may not be back for a while."
Wu Gousheng had heard Wan Qiqi talk about the water diversion project and had no objections.
He just remembered that Sister Qi had said that she would arrange for Brother Yongxing to stay at home with Sister Yongxing, so why was Sister Yongxing the only one at home now?
