Chapter 143 Could it be that he has become a spirit?
"Young man, these are big, fresh fish from our own fish pond, and the meat is tender. Do you want some from the restaurant?"
Tang Qiyue bent his body, paused while speaking, and acted like an old man.
The waiter was working and preparing to close the backyard door. He saw Tang Qiyue, then looked at the fish jumping around in his cart and was startled. "Why is this fish so big?"
"Could it be that he has become a spirit?"
I knew earlier that there were fish farmers in Linjiang Town, and there were also wild fish, but those fish weighed at most three kilograms. But the fish in the several buckets in front of me probably weigh seven or eight kilograms, and the black carp must weigh ten kilograms!
It looked really big and lively. The waiter had no idea what to do and could only say, "Wait here."
Tang Qiyue nodded and bowed hurriedly. After the others entered the main courtyard, she looked around and then stood up to rest for a while.
Although they are very strong, these hundred or so fish are still heavy enough.
Soon, Shopkeeper Li came hurriedly behind the waiter, "Where is it? There are ten kilograms of black fish."
It was only March and the river water was still very cold. The restaurant sold fish and vegetables every day, but the quantities were small because no one dared to go down to the river to fish.
It's one thing to make some money by fishing it out, but if you can't, you'll get sick.
Therefore, the fish dishes in the restaurant were few and fewer every day. However, some customers liked to eat fish and ordered it at every meal, which made the owner Li so worried that he wished he could go down to the river to catch fish himself.
When Shopkeeper Li saw the old man in front of him, he felt that he was strangely familiar. However, before he could think about it, he was attracted by the lively fish in the bucket. "Wow! Such a big fish?"
Tang Qiyue wiped the sweat off her face and said, "That's right. Each fish weighs at least five kilograms. They are all fish raised at home. They are big and delicious, and the meat is very tender."
Shopkeeper Li picked up a bighead carp and looked at it from left to right, then nodded with satisfaction, "How many do you have here?"
Tang Qiyue estimated, "About a hundred or so."
She didn't count them specifically, but she made a rough calculation when she was fishing.
Now in her space pond, there are only small fish swimming happily, but no big fish to be seen.
Shopkeeper Li was really shocked. There were more than a hundred fish, and if each fish weighed five kilograms, there would be more than five hundred kilograms. He looked at Tang Qiuyue's hunched body and wondered how this man pushed the fish to the backyard of the restaurant?
Tang Qiyue knew he was looking at her, and she hunched over even more and said, "Boss, do you want it? If not, I'll go look somewhere else."
If no one wants them, she will set up a stall at the street corner and sell them individually.
"Yes! How much?" Shopkeeper Li put down the bighead carp.
Fish is fresh and tender, but it has to be cooked by someone who knows how to cook it. If someone doesn't know how to cook it, it will be fishy and taste bad. Fish is not like pork, it is indispensable in every household.
Tang Qiyue did not plan to sell it by the piece as before, but said, "Boss, six cents per pound."
Shopkeeper Li thought about it and felt it was feasible, so he immediately asked the waiter to bring someone with a scale to weigh the goods.
I was really shocked when I saw the scale. It weighed more than 900 pounds.
It was a bit much, but he could eat it. After all, Yingkelou has many branches, and a little from each store is not much.
"I'll give you five taels of silver." Shopkeeper Li winked at the waiter, who took out five taels of silver and handed them to Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue quickly took it and said a series of nice words, "Thank you, shopkeeper. Thank you, shopkeeper."
Seeing Tang Qiyue smiling from ear to ear while holding the silver, Shopkeeper Li was extremely satisfied and had someone carry the weighed fish into the yard.
Tang Qiyue pushed the empty cart back to the alley, threw the things into the space, took off his disguise, and changed back into his own clothes.
Inside the teahouse, Xie Changjin frowned as he watched the woman in front of him hugging her crying child and pointing at him and cursing, and he clenched his fists.
"You are so ugly and scary, what are you doing here? You scared my son, you have to pay compensation!" The woman hugged her son, scolding and coaxing him.
"Did you hear me? Don't come out if you look so scary. You scared my son and made him hurt. I'll make you pay for it! I don't care. My son is crying because of you. You must pay compensation!" Seeing that Xie Changjin ignored her, the woman almost scratched him.
Tang Shuyao stepped forward and blocked Xie Changjin with her small body. "What does it have to do with us if your son is frightened? Why does Uncle Jin look so scary? It's your son who is useless!"
Tang Shuyao, who was taught by Tang Qiyue from time to time, already seemed to have the potential to become a tough and hard-to-bully character.
This is good, you won’t be bullied easily.
"You... you little bastard, what are you talking about! If he didn't look scary, would my son be scared to tears? I don't care, you have to pay compensation today, or you can't leave!"
The other guests in the teahouse had no interest in what was happening here. They only turned back in groups of two or three to glance. When they saw Xie Changjin's face, they shuddered and went back to chatting and drinking tea with their friends.
Seeing that no one came out to protect her, the woman became anxious. Then she saw the soft and lovely Xian Zhaobao in Xie Changjin's arms, and she suddenly became angry and grabbed Zhaobao's face.
Zhao Bao was playing with pastries and had no idea of the danger. It was Xie Changjin, who was always keeping an eye on him, who noticed it and stood up suddenly to avoid the woman's hand.
Then, a straight long leg stretched out from the side and kicked the woman's arm hard.
The woman fell to the ground and cried out in pain, her cries louder than her son's.
"You dare to hit my son?" The one who kicked was Tang Qiyue who came rushing over. She didn't hear what happened before. She only knew that when she came over, there was a blind man who dared to hurt her son, so she kicked him without saying a word.
"Mother!" When Zhao Bao saw her, he fluttered his short arms and legs to ask for a hug, "Hug, mother, hug me."
Tang Qiyue patted his head and said, "Be good, mother will hold you later."
After saying that, she walked towards the woman lying on the ground, squatted down, stretched out her hand to pinch the woman's chin, and asked, "Who told you to do that to my son?"
"Ok?"
The woman couldn't hear what Tang Qiyue said at all. She just felt as if her arm was broken and the pain made her want to die. The boy next to her was frightened by Tang Qiyue. He stopped crying but kept hiccuping. He shrank into the woman's arms, trembling and not daring to look at Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue didn't even look at her, shook the woman's head away, took out a tael of silver from her purse and threw it on the ground, "Medical expenses!"
In order to avoid being blackmailed, Tang Qiuyue still paid the money.
The woman immediately grabbed the silver in her other hand, picked up the boy and ran out. Tang Qiyue was too lazy to chase her.
Tang Shuyao ran over, "Second sister, you are so awesome! That kick you just made was so powerful!"
"But second sister, why did you give them money? Don't you know how bad those two people were?"
Tang Qiyue paused, looked at Xie Changjin who looked calm, then looked at Tang Shuyao who looked angry and asked, "What's going on?"
It seems that something else happened before she came.
