Xue Yuantong was shocked and asked the middle-aged uncle, "How co you even know about this?"
The leather jacket was smug, "Ha, I’ve been through a lot, what don’t I know?"
Xue Yuantong said, "Amazing, actually been swindled like this!"
The muscles on the leather jacket’s face twitched, but he couldn’t argue with the little girl, could he?
Jiang Ning said, "Not chicks, they’re ho-raised chickens. Didn’t you know there’s a rural tourism spot nearby? It’s got a good reputation!"
Yang Fei’s rural tourism place is indeed excellent. Although expensive, the quality is beyond question, only making money from the middle class.
Seeing how seriously they talked, along with the rural tourism endorsent, the leather jacket was tempted.
After all, going to the river to fish, there’s quite a chance of coming up empty-handed, but the rural tourism has a fish pond, you’re sure to catch fish, just one hundred yuan.
Can’t catch fish? You can still get a free ho-raised chicken.
"I’ll fish!" the leather jacket agreed.
Jiang Ning and Tongtong led him to the fish pond east of the bungalow.
Over an hour and several trips back and forth, Jiang Ning and Tongtong managed to entice eight people, profiting eight hundred yuan.
Jiang Ning initially planned to add so words to the sign for the Fishing Man to find his way on his own.
But Tongtong wasn’t tired at all and happily ran back and forth to earn money.
Seeing the sweat on Tongtong’s forehead, Jiang Ning took out a tissue to wipe it for her, while Xue Yuantong just grinned foolishly.
Jiang Ning looked down at her silly expression and couldn’t help but sigh. He didn’t believe Tongtong couldn’t guess the risks in this business.
Yet, out of trust in him, she still firmly supported him.
Even if he told her he planned to make big money in Beibei, she probably would still follow without hesitation, right?
Jiang Ning extended his hand, with spiritual power flowing from his palm, a force capable of easily crushing steel, enough to face any risks in the world.
He placed his hand on Tongtong’s hair and gently rubbed it.
Until they enticed five more custors, Jiang Ning felt that considering the size of the fish pond, it was about ti to accommodate these custors. Any more and it might affect the fishing experience.
Then he took the sign and leisurely headed back to the bungalow.
Boss Yang had long heard everything, but kept his worries in heart, still cheerfully said, "Jiang Ning, your thod of attracting custors is quite interesting!"
Jiang Ning said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you lose out."
Boss Yang, broad-minded, comforted, "It’s okay, attracting custors this way isn’t bad. As long as so of them stay for als and beco regulars, we’re still making profit."
Besides, even if we lose, it doesn’t matter. In the future, Jiang Ning will definitely send so wild mushrooms.
Yang Fei, even if he doesn’t use them himself, giving them as gifts to his father-in-law will surely be appreciated.
"I’ll go greet the custors now." Yang Fei excused himself.
Jiang Ning called Tongtong over, "Co on, let’s see if they’ve caught any fish."
Passing Chuchu’s house, Chuchu was holding washed bed sheets, drying them, really diligent.
Every holiday she would clean the house, wipe furniture, scrub shoes, clean flower pots...
Before, Jiang Ning thought Tongtong was already good at household chores, but Chuchu surpassed her, simply the epito of a ’good wife and loving mother.’
Well, the phrase ’good wife and loving mother’ has already been regarded as derogatory by Lu Qiqi and them.
Jiang Ning hurried to the east of the bungalow, through a row of bare trees, and a thirty-ter long, fifteen-ter wide oval pond ca into view.
The water surface reflected blue skies and white clouds, surrounded by many Fishing n.
Boss Yang had set up a table nearby, with spiced peanuts, broad beans, sunflower seeds, and a few tea bottles with so paper cups. He didn’t treat these custors badly due to Jiang Ning’s initiative; instead, he arranged everything nicely.
The leather jacket saw Jiang Ning coming and laughed loudly, "Young man, I’ve been fishing for quite a while, haven’t caught any fish. I really have to take one of those chickens!"
Not just the leather jacket, but a neighboring middle-aged man with a potbelly also showed a smile, no longer irritated as they were when they ca up empty-handed before.
Jiang Ning said, "Oh, not bad!"
As he finished speaking, he flicked a spirit power that turned into an invisible large hand, suddenly grabbing the crucian carp in the pond and forcibly hooking its mouth onto the leather jacket’s fish hook.
The float suddenly sank.
Xue Yuantong shouted, "Got a bite!"
Instinct made the leather jacket quickly reel in, sure enough, a palm-sized crucian carp popped out of the water.
The leather jacket exclaid, "I caught a fish!"
He wasn’t frustrated, but rather delighted. After all, catching a fish is quite an enjoyable thing. These guys didn’t co just to take advantage.
Jiang Ning stayed by the fish pond for over ten minutes, ensuring everyone caught a fish before he left satisfied.
Xue Yuantong bounced with joy, hopping around: "We’re rich, we’re rich!"
After telling Boss Yang, he was equally incredulous:
"Damn it, do I really have that many fish in my pond?"
...
Approaching noon, Boss Yang paid Jiang Ning his reward.
Thirteen Fishing n, an inco of thirteen hundred yuan from tickets, plus the originally agreed two hundred yuan reward, he gave Jiang Ning fifteen hundred yuan.
Jiang Ning first took two hundred yuan, then another six hundred and fifty, insisting on a fifty-fifty split.
"Fine." Boss Yang agreed.
After calculating, subtracting the eight hundred and fifty paid to Jiang Ning, Boss Yang pocketed four hundred and fifty yuan, quite the profit, just by giving away a few pounds of pond fish and so peanuts and broad beans.
Xue Yuantong returned boastingly with a wad of cash.
Several cars were parked at the bungalow entrance, drawing quite the crowd, Yao Yiyao wore a green plaid suspenders long dress with a Japanese flair, her arms adorned with apricot-colored sleeves, holding a young Maine Coon, looking every bit the pampered Princess.
Seeing the cash in Xue Yuantong’s hand, she looked on with mild curiosity.
Mr. Qian saw it and asked: "Where did that co from?"
Xue Yuantong replied defiantly: "Earned it!"
After learning the reason, Mr. Qian sourly remarked: "Charging a hundred yuan for fishing, I might as well fish by the river! Without spending a penny!"
Xue Yuantong: "But you might not catch anything by the river."
Mr. Qian retorted: "And if I do catch a fish?"
Xue Yuantong: "Then I’ll charge you one hundred yuan."
Mr. Qian trembled with anger.
The once timid Xue Yuantong was gone; who spoiled her to be like this?
After Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong disappeared, Mr. Qian cald down and marveled at Yao Yiyao’s cat: "Your cat is quite pretty, and so clean and nice looking."
Yao Yiyao responded to the complint: "Maine Coon, just got grood at the store today."
Mr. Qian was surprised: "Oh my, are there stores dedicated just to washing cats now?"
Yao Yiyao replied: "Pet store."
She didn’t feel like chatting with Mr. Qian, not in the sa age bracket, she was just about to leave when the daughter of her dad’s business partner approached her.
Mr. Qian: "To wash a cat, does it cost 10 yuan?"
Yao Yiyao: "It’s 80."
Mr. Qian was shocked: "A human shower costs just 5 yuan, but 80 yuan for a cat, why waste money on that! Better spend it on buying at, right?"
He looked as if lanting over a squanderer’s folly.
Yao Yiyao felt uncomfortable hearing this.
She recalled how Jiang Ning and the others handled situations.
So she said: "Cats aren’t like humans, they catch mice!"
Mr. Qian countered: "Who says humans can’t catch mice?"
Set a mouse trap, use a glue trap, it’s just as effective.
Yao Yiyao: "Then I’ll charge you 80 too."
After she said that, Yao Yiyao left with her cat and a companion.
Mr. Qian was fuming! He turned and went back inside!
...
anwhile, at the river dam.
A man in his thirties, wearing a duckbill hat, crouched by a tree, on the phone, responding: "Uh-huh, uh-huh, got it, Fourth Brother."
"I told Sister-in-law today. After it’s done, I’m heading abroad tonight."
After a few more words, the man hung up, silently finished a cigarette, pressing it out on the ground.
He stood up, reaching for the triangular knife in his jacket pocket.
Then, he pulled out a photo from his inner pocket, softly murmuring: "Yao, don’t bla us for making an example..."
