Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 40

They also knew about the time when a lot of fish were caught in the village.

But other than the Jin family, no one else knew how those fish got here, it was all God's blessing.

Today, when Jin Meiyu said this, the other children also had some hope, and some even grabbed straw and threw it into the river, hoping that fish would come.

And then, under everyone's expectation, a fish actually came over!

The moment the fish came over, all the children backed away.

What is that? !
It was a fish that none of them had ever seen before. It had a conical mouth and big nostrils. It was at least two meters long, and it looked very thick.

Fortunately, the fish had no intention of attacking them. After coming over, it opened its mouth to eat the aquatic plants on the river surface, and it looked quite leisurely.

Jin Meiyu swallowed her saliva, thinking about it, but thinking about the money to buy those things, Jin Meiyu finally gritted her teeth, rolled up her sleeves, and was ready to go into the river.

How could Jin Manrou watch her go down the river, and hurriedly stopped her.

"Wait, wait, what do you want, sister? Don't go down, the water is very cold, what if you are sick?"

Seeing that Jin Meiyu still wanted to go on, Jin Manrou said quickly.

"Sister-in-law, don't go, I will go."

Now Jin Meiyu disagreed.

"No, you are not as big as that fish, how can you go down, you take it on the shore, I will go."

Jin Manrou hugged Jin Meiyu with tears in his eyes, refusing to let go.

The other children looked at me and I looked at you, but in the end Dahe gritted his teeth, let go of Xiaohe's hand, asked her to stand by the side and did not move, and went into the river by himself.

As soon as he moved, the other children who came out of the ancestral hall, although they were also afraid, also gritted their teeth and went down the river.

With such a big commotion, the fish was still grazing leisurely there, even if Dahe's hand was lightly placed on it, it didn't respond.

Several children stood on both sides of the big fish, glanced at each other, and in a tacit understanding, stretched out their hands to hold the belly of the big fish, and slowly moved it to the river.

This big fish is really big and really heavy.

I didn't feel it in the water, but after the body of the big fish slowly surfaced, the children's strength was not enough.

"Go, go, bring over some of the withered vine carts."

There are some white morning glory growing by the river all the year round. Although the vines are very thin, there are quite a few of them accumulated year after year.

The children on the shore hurriedly pulled the morning glory, pulled out a long pile, and twisted them into a rope with all their hands and feet.

The rope was sent into the river, and these river children tied the fish up very firmly, with the fins and gills caught.

The children in the water all went ashore and pulled the rope. Under the order of Jin Meiyu and Xiao Heiwa, the children began to pull with all their strength.

Feeling the tug, the fish finally struggled, and the kids almost missed the vine with just a little struggle.

Fortunately, the fish was already very close to the shore, and it basically ran aground after a couple of splashes. In the end, these children actually pulled the fish up!
When the fish was pulled up, the children were very happy.

It doesn't matter if the fish flutters so much that they can't touch it up close. Just looking at such a big fish is enough for them to feel pleasantly surprised.

However, before the children finished cheering, the sound of splashing water aroused the children's thoughts again, and then, two unknown fish, which were bigger than this one, swam over again...

Jin Manyou was counting his companions, when he heard someone calling him from a distance, when he turned around, it was Man Rou.

"Man Rou, why are you here, sister-in-law?"

Man Flesh was dripping wet, but he laughed happily, and started shouting when he was far away.

"Come here quickly, come here to collect the fish, can you take the fish? What a big fish!"

After shouting, Jin Manrou ran to Jin Manyou and talked to him.

"Let me tell you, we are super powerful. There are such big fish in the river, so big!" Jin Manrou stretched out his hands and drew a very round circle. The people who collected the grain were amused.

"Such a big fish, then you have a bumper harvest."

No one believed that a group of children could catch such a big fish, all because he was exaggerating.

The big tall man was also laughing, but said to the people around him.

"Go, go and see, maybe the children really caught fish, and it would be good to collect it for,, and add some food."

Everyone agreed with this statement, so even if no one believed that they had caught such a big fish, under the leadership of the tall man, two men went with Jin Manrou with a basket.

The thinking of the three of them was very simple. The three of them knew how to swim. If there were really fish in the river, it would be good to go down and catch some.

It's just that when the three of them saw the three fish from a distance, which were bigger than the children standing beside them, they were all stunned.

Obviously, these three people have never seen such a big fish!

He ran over quickly, and the tall man was dumbfounded when he looked at the fish. It looked like he was looking at something strange again.

It was Jin Meiyu who asked first after seeing him.

"How do you charge this fish? How much is it?"

"how much is it?"

The tall man didn't react, he just repeated what Jin Meiyu said meaninglessly.

As for Jin Meiyu's, she thought it was the tall man asking how much money she wanted.

She looked at the fish, it was huge, in terms of body length, it was bigger than any wild boar she had seen before.

She has never seen this kind of fish, nor have the other children, and they don't know the species, so she is also very embarrassed.

After all, some fish are expensive and some are cheap, and she doesn't know whether this fish is expensive or cheap.

When she was hesitating, suddenly Subsystem 01 spoke abruptly.

"25 two for one."

"What?"

Jin Meiyu opened her mouth subconsciously, but brought the tall one back to her soul.

The tall man thought that Jin Meiyu was talking to himself, so he said quickly.

"This fish is so big, I'll calculate it for you at the price of pork, and I won't weigh it. How about four or two fish?"

Jin Meiyu was frightened by her own carelessness, but fortunately no one noticed, but she must not be willing to pay the price of four taels, the subsystems all reminded that it would cost 25 taels a piece!
So, she stretched out two fingers and bargained with the big tall one.

"25 taels, the same price!"

When it was four for two, the other children were very excited and very happy. Such a high price was enough for them to change into new clothes and eat their fill.

But the price quoted by Jin Meiyu shocked the child.

Not only the children were taken aback, but the tall one was also taken aback.

"25 taels??? This won't work, the price is too high, I can pay five taels at most."

Jin Meiyu bit her lip, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, the subsystem asked to help.

"This is a sturgeon fish, which is very rare. It can be sold for a hundred taels outside."

Jin Meiyu's eyes lit up, and she talked to the tall one.

"This is a sturgeon fish. It's very rare. It can be sold for a hundred taels outside!"

The tall man hesitated, but he still felt that it was a bit expensive to buy a fish at 25 taels, so he said.

"If you say that, I don't know you either. How about this? I'll offer seven taels, seven taels for one. This is already the highest price I can offer."

But after knowing the real price of this fish, how could Jin Meiyu let go?
So she thought about it and talked to the tall one.

"This is the sturgeon fish, which is for you to collect. It just so happened that I sold it to you cheaply. It doesn't matter if you don't want it. There are adults in our village, so I can ask more people to help transport the fish to the city. Go here, and then you can sell it for a hundred taels of silver!"

"Little girl, this fish died soon after being dehydrated. It was broken before you transported it to the city. It will definitely be worthless by then. You might as well sell it to me."

"It's okay, I can't faint, I can ask my lord to go to the city and ask those rich people if they want to collect sturgeon fish. If anyone wants it, let them pull it, or we can just make a big wooden barrel and fill it with water. Ship them there, the price of one hundred taels, no matter what trouble you have."

The tall man was more or less frustrated when he saw that Jin Meiyu was so young that he didn't want to get in.

Moreover, Jin Meiyu's words reminded him.

If this fish is really a good fish worth a hundred taels, then they can collect it and sell it, and they can still make a fortune from time to time?

Driven by interests, the tall man finally agreed after struggling for a while.

"25 taels is 25 taels. It's a deal, but girl, you have to promise me that if there are such good fish in the future, you can think of me."

Jin Meiyu nodded and patted her small chest.

"No problem, I'll be thinking of you."
