Lady Gu 10,000 Years

LDG-8

Yu Wan dug up some earthworms and threw them into the water. After a while, there was indeed a fish that swam with its tail wagging. In the blink of an eye, Yu Wan grabbed the dead limb on the ground and threw it into the water!

The fish escaped without being stabbed. Yu Wan was not desperate. He changed his location and continued.

After a few twists and turns, Yu Wan managed to stab a wild goldfish. This goldfish weighs two pounds and is considered very fat among wild goldfish. After that, what Yu Wan stabbed was not that heavy. However, there were four of them, which could be considered a great harvest.

It was almost noon, and Little Bruiser must have been hungry. Yu Wan decided to stop at the right time and bring home the wild fishes.

Little Bruiser seemed to hear his footsteps and ran out of the kitchen. “Kak! You're back!”

“Ya.” Yuwan nodded. He walked through a small bamboo field in his backyard and followed Little Bruiser into the kitchen.

“Kak!” Little Bruiser was in no hurry to see the items in his basket. Instead, he held her hand and pointed to the main hall. “So not here! He brought us a lot of food!”

Old brother? Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat. Uncle's eldest son?

“Boy brother! Sister back!”

Yu Feng had come at the behest of his parents to deliver corn noodles to Ah Wan's family, but that didn't mean he was willing to talk to his cousin. When he heard Little Bruiser calling his sister, he turned around and left. However, Little Bruiser's sharp eyes suddenly stopped him.

Yu Feng could not leave or stay.

Yu Wan walked over with a calm expression.

Yu Wan did not inherit any memories related to the old residence, so she did not know about the matter of the Host and Uncle Yu's family. He thought that the two families had a good relationship. Otherwise, why would they take care of Little Bruiser?

Yu Wan placed the basket on the stove and went to meet Yu Feng in the living room. He was a tall man, about twenty years old. He had been in the sun for a long time and his skin was not white. However, his facial features were firm and he looked rather handsome.

“Sister male.” Yu Wan greeted him.

Yu Feng was startled and almost thought he had heard wrong.

Little Bruiser ran over, took out two cloth bags on the table, and said to Yu Wan, “Sister! Brother sent this millet! Sister send this corn noodles!”

Yu Wan caught the cloth bag. Yu Feng thought he was going to refuse, but he suddenly heard him say warmly, “Why are there so many? Did you leave some for your family?

It wasn't that they didn't give enough, but he was worried that if they gave too much, their families wouldn't eat enough? When had he ever worried about their lives ?! If he had not heard it with his own ears, Yu Feng would not have believed it.

Yu Wan looked at Big Brother who was stunned and slightly smiled. “Thank you, Brother.” The smile of the young girl was clear and bright, without the slightest hint of disgust or carelessness. He sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Yu Feng calmed down and said with a flat face, “That's not something worthwhile. My parents asked me to take him. They said... thanks for the chicken yesterday.”

“Is it good?” ask Yu Wan.

Yu Feng was stunned for a moment before he vaguely admitted and said, “I have something to do at home, so I'll go first.”

“Kakak, wait a minute.” Yu Wan called out to him and immediately went to the kitchen. After a while, he filled the basket with the largest wild goldfish and some fresh and tender winter shoots. He handed it to Yu Feng and said, “Fishan has just been captured, and the bamboo shoots have also just been dug up. They're all very fresh.”

Yu Feng opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but Yu Wan did not allow him to say anything and simply put the basket in his hand.

He just lied. His parents had asked him to bring corn noodles and millet, but that was not to pay back the chicken he gave them. They actually wanted to ask what he was doing.

“Where do we have money?” Aunt Yu glared at her second son.

“He didn't say anything. He didn't ask for anything.” Yu Feng placed the basket on the table. “He even gave me these things.” And he called me Brother.

Seeing the winter bamboo shoots and the big goldfish in the basket, the members of the Yu Family gasped.

…

News of Yu Wan waking up gradually spread in the village. After that, people came to visit one after another. It is unclear if they are actually here to visit or watch the fun. Everyone who came to visit smelled the smell of the fish.

As the saying goes, winter and summer are the best seasons to eat goldfish. In winter, goldfish are in their most fertile season, and wild goldfish taste better.

Because there is no salt, the taste of the fish soup is original, but even so, the taste is still amazingly fresh.

Little Bruiser held a bowl of milk-white fish soup and drank it until his forehead was covered in sweat.

Seeing Little Bruiser eating voraciously, Yu Wan felt like she had just discovered a new business opportunity.

“Bruiser, do we have embroidery needles?” Yu Wan asked her brother after lunch.

“Yes! Brother, wait, I'll go look for him!” Little Bruiser ran to Madam Jiang's room, opened the closet, and took out the sewing equipment from the small bag.

Yu Wan took two long and thin embroidery needles, roasted them softly with fire, and bent them to make a pair of fish hooks. After that, he went to the backyard to cut a piece of bamboo and make two long jorans.

“Kak, what will you do?” Little Bruiser asked curiously.

“You'll find out tonight.”

Yu Wan used a pole to carry two wooden buckets and a pair of fishing rods. He then went to the river where he caught the goldfish. Four hours later, Yu Wan returned. The wooden bucket was filled to the brim with fish other than water.

Little Bruiser squatted on the ground, his little hands moving as he counted. “...Two, three, four, five, six..” He does not know the rest when he counts to ten.

When the villagers came to visit during the day, Yu Wan exchanged information with them using fish soup. For example, he knew that the village was named Lotus Flower Village and also knew where the nearest market was located. Every ten days of the month, there will be a large market and a small market every three days. Tomorrow is a big market day. This means that there will be many vendors, but after that, there will be more customers buying the goods.

And he's already thinking about how to sell it.

…

The market was ten miles away. To reach the market before dawn and get a good spot, Yu Wan woke up around three in the morning. He thought he had woken up quite early in the morning, but when he saw the lights in the village gradually light up, he knew that all the villagers were working hard for this market.

It was not strange when he thought about it. Towards the end of the year, those that need to be sold must be sold immediately, and those that need to be bought must be purchased immediately. As soon as New Year's Eve arrives, the market will be closed completely, and business will only resume on the day of the Dragon Head Appointment in February.

The lights in Uncle Yu's house were also lit up. He had seen Yu Feng come home yesterday and already knew where his house was.

“Mbak mbak! Are you going to the market? I want to go too!” The little boy who can always sleep until late this morning actually never smelled the aroma of marketing and woke up early for the first time. “Sister, Brother, take me there! I promise to be very obedient! I haven't been to the market in a long time!”

You make it sound like you've gone into marketing before, thought Yu Wan, unsure whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed his little head. “OK, I'll take you.”
