Tiger Roars in China

As soon as the chief manager Hongtu came on board, Yuyingzi suddenly became nervous.

Although the chief manager Hongtu looks wealthy, he has a frightening aura.

Erya and Sanya were afraid to see strangers and had been hiding in the cabin for a long time and dared not come out.

Li Meng just followed A Wan, with only A Wan in his eyes and ignored everyone else.

Yu Yingzi had no choice but to say to Ah Wan, "Ah Wan, go get a basket of silverfish and let Shopkeeper Hong inspect the goods."

A Wan was barely able to stay calm. Among the dozens of people who came on board, except for the chief manager Hongtu who seemed like a good person, the others all looked ferocious and scary.

Fortunately, Li Meng is still by Awan's side, which makes Awan feel a lot more at ease.

Ah Wan went into the cabin and brought out a basket of whitebait.

A tall and thin attendant beside the chief manager Hongtu reached out and grabbed a few silver fish and handed them to the chief manager Hongtu.

The shopkeeper Hongtu nodded and said, "Yes, this silverfish is no more than a day old, very fresh. I want all the ones you have."

Osprey didn't dare to neglect it and quickly replied, "Probably several thousand."

The shopkeeper Hongtu's eyes lit up and he said casually, "So much? Okay, let's calculate it by kilograms. Put it on the scale!"

The attendants immediately brought a scale and began to weigh the silverfish in the fish basket.

The shopkeeper Hongtu waved his hand and said, "You guys, go help them move the silverfish out. Don't leave the little girl alone."

Immediately, several strong men entered the cabin to move the fish.

In the cabin, the screams of Erya and Sanya were heard.

Someone laughed and said, "There are two girls hiding in the cabin."

A Wan hurried over and brought Erya and Sanya out.

As soon as the two of them came out, they hid behind Li Meng trembling, obviously frightened.

The bodyguards laughed out loud.

The chief shopkeeper Hongtu glanced at them and his laughter stopped abruptly.

The group of people immediately got busy in an orderly manner, starting to sort and weigh the fish.

In fact, Manager Hongtu and his men did not come from land, but came directly by boat.

Their big ship was docked next to the Osprey's boat.

They brought a large number of thin bamboo plates from their boat and placed the weighed silverfish one by one on the plates.

When Erya and Sanya saw the beautifully woven bamboo plaque, they couldn't help but stick their heads out from behind Li Meng out of curiosity.

Under the stern gaze of the chief manager Hongtu, no one dared to tease Erya and Sanya anymore.

Seeing those sturdy men carrying the loaded bamboo plates out, Ah Wan got a little anxious and quickly stepped forward to stop them, saying, "You haven't paid yet, you can't take the fish away!"

In the eyes of the fish tyrant Li Wancai, robbery and plunder have become commonplace. Ah Wan has suffered losses more than once and is now afraid of them.

The patrol captain, the tax officer, and the accountant came over together, stared at Ah Wan and said, "Wanshun Fish Shop is the property of Master Nanyun. How could they be short of your little money for fish?"

Ah Wan refused to give in and said with his neck stiff, "I don't know Master Nanyun. Anyway, if you don't pay, don't even think about taking the fish away!"

Li Meng also stood side by side with A Wan. Although she didn't say anything, she gave A Wan unlimited courage.

Several people were about to get angry, but were stopped by a look from the head manager Hongtu.

The shopkeeper Hongtu said to Ah Wan in a friendly manner, "Little girl, these silver fish have been weighed. Your boat is too small and there is no place to put them.

The accountant has brought enough money, so he won't be short of money for you."

After saying this, he winked at the accountant.

The accountant waved his hand, and a strong man beside him brought over a rattan box.

When I opened the rattan box, it was full of silver bars.

The accountant said proudly, "Each silver bar here is ten taels, and this box contains a hundred bars, which is enough to buy all your silver fish."

The shopkeeper Hongtu patted the rattan box and said to Ah Wan, "Little girl, I'll leave this box of silver with you, and you can ask them to move the fish away, how about that?"

Ah Wan had never seen so much silver before and was so shocked that he was speechless.

Yu Yingzi hurried forward, pulled A Wan away, and said to the shopkeeper Hongtu with a smile, "You are just a kid, you have never seen the world and you are not sensible. Please don't be surprised, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper Hongtu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Go on."

Soon, all the whitebait were weighed.

The total weight is 1,313.2 jin.

Silverfish are small, and five or six of them weigh only one pound.

In other words, Ah Wan caught more than 6,000 silver fish this time! This is a very scary number!

The shopkeeper Hongtu smiled and said to Yuyingzi, "Yuyingzi, you are also a frequent visitor to this fish market, you should be aware of the market price of this silver fish.

If you buy them by the piece, each silver fish costs 150 copper coins, and ten silver fish only cost one and a half taels of silver.

If purchased by kilogram, the market price is between one liang and one and a half liang per kilogram.

Your quantity is so large, I give you two taels of silver per pound, am I treating you unfairly?"

Yu Yingzi was a little overjoyed. He didn't expect that the manager Hongtu would give him such a high price.

He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, boss!"

The shopkeeper Hongtu looked directly at the accountant and asked, "Have you figured out how much money is needed? Pay them quickly!"

The accountant did not dare to neglect and immediately replied, "I have calculated it. The total amount to be paid to them is 2,626 taels and 400 copper coins."

Awan and the sisters Erya and Sanya were so shocked that they were speechless.

They knew that the fish tyrant Li Wancai was a vicious person, but they never thought that he could be so cruel!

From Li Wancai, the price of buying a silverfish is only ten copper coins!

The shopkeeper Hongtu looked at Yuyingzi and asked, "Yuyingzi, do you want all the silver or the banknotes?"

Yuyingzi suppressed his inner ecstasy and asked carefully, "I want silver notes for the whole amount and silver for the small amount, is that ok?"

The shopkeeper Hongtu laughed and said, "Of course. Mr. Accountant, pay the amount."

At this time, the tax officer, who had never had a chance to speak, asked, "Boss, the transaction tax has not been collected yet?"

The shopkeeper Hongtu waved his hand and said, "Just exempt him from the transaction tax!"

Yu Yingzi quickly bowed to the shopkeeper Hongtu and said, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper!"

You know, this transaction tax is also a considerable amount, but the shopkeeper Hongtu waived it with just one sentence.

It can be seen that the chief manager of Hongtu must be a very important person around Nan Batian.

The shopkeeper Hongtu smiled and patted Yuyingzi on the shoulder, saying, "Yuyingzi, if you need silverfish next time, you must come to me first."

Osprey nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, of course!"
