Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

The next day.

Xu Kun got up as soon as it was light.

After waking up the driver, several carts rushed towards the city.

When we arrived at the entrance of Zuixianju, we found that the restaurant was not open yet.

Xu Kun stepped forward, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Is anyone there? The fish, shrimp, and crabs have been delivered. Open the door and take them."

But no one responded.

The drivers behind him also began to urge Xu Kun to pay.

Xu Kun asked them to unload all the wooden barrels, gave each of them fifty coins, and sent them away.

After the drivers left, Xu Kun continued to knock on the door.

Still no response.

Xu Kun felt a sense of foreboding in his heart. After swallowing, he walked around to the side, pried open the window a crack, and looked inside.

As a result, I saw the owner of Zuixianju sitting in the middle of the lobby.

Xu Kun was furious. Was this shopkeeper trying to trick him? He was clearly in the lobby, yet he didn't respond.

"Boss, please open the door. I've brought you some fish, shrimp, and crabs."

The shopkeeper turned around woodenly and saw Xu Kun, half of his face visible outside the window. His face suddenly darkened and he shouted angrily, "Get out of here right now!"

Xu Kun was a scoundrel to begin with, and now that money was involved, he wasn't willing to obey orders. He actually climbed in through the window, strode up to the shopkeeper, and said, "I'm here to bring you fish, shrimp, and crabs, and you want me to get out?"

"Hurry up and bring the money!"

The shopkeeper was not polite either. He stood up and scolded, "Hold your grandma, did we sign a contract? Why should I take it just because you give it to me?"

"What you're doing now is trespassing. I can report you to the police and have you arrested!"

This scared Xu Kun. A scoundrel like him was most afraid of being sent to the government office. His attitude immediately softened and he changed the subject, "Boss, what happened? Weren't you fine yesterday?"

The shopkeeper was actually aware that his anger had little to do with Xu Kun. Seeing that his attitude had softened, he couldn't continue to be angry. After a sigh, he explained, "We won't be buying fish, shrimp, or crabs anymore. If you want to sell them, sell them to Tianshangju."

Xu Kun became anxious and said, "It's because Tianshangju doesn't accept my goods that I came here to sell them to you."

If you ask me to sell it to Tianshangju now, isn’t that a scam?

"Boss, why do you just say you don't want to accept it when things are going well?"

"If you think the price is not suitable, we can discuss it again."

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with the price, but... I was cheated by Tianshangju."

The two recipes that the chef tricked back from Tianshangju were actually incomplete.

Manager Hong of Tianshangju anticipated that Zuixianju might play this trick, so he informed the chefs that if the former chef approached them to get the recipe, they should tell them a fake one.

So the chef from Zuixianju thought he got a recipe, but in fact, what he got was a guide to poisoning.

After Xu Kun delivered the first batch of goods to Zuixianju yesterday, Zuixianju couldn’t wait to launch the same dishes as Tianshangju, and the price was only half of Tianshangju’s.

Diners flocked in, and Zuixianju immediately looked like it was packed with guests.

However, the good times did not last long. In less than half an hour, the diners began to experience various abnormal conditions, and some even suffered from vomiting and diarrhea on the spot.

A good restaurant has become dirtier than a toilet.

Seeing this, the diners waiting for food outside the restaurant immediately turned around and left.

The diners in the restaurant grabbed the owner of Zuixianju and wanted to take him to the government for questioning.

In order to protect himself, the owner of Zuixianju had to spend money to avoid disaster.

More than one hundred taels of silver were lost just like that.

After listening to the shopkeeper's story, Xu Kun's face suddenly changed and he turned around and ran out.

The shopkeeper saw this and immediately realized something. He rushed forward and grabbed Xu Kun's sleeve, "You are not allowed to leave!"

"Even if the recipe was fake, it wouldn't have caused so many diners to vomit and have diarrhea."

"There must be something wrong with the goods you sent!"

Xu Kun hurriedly said, "Boss, don't say anything careless. The fish, shrimp and crabs I collected are all fresh. There can't be any problems."

The shopkeeper said, "Don't try to play tricks on me. Many of the fish, shrimp, and crabs you sent yesterday were dead."

"The diners must have reacted so violently because they ate these dead shrimp and crabs."

"I can't bear this loss alone, you have to bear half of it!"

Xu Kun's voice crackled with anxiety as he said, "Boss, you need to be reasonable. This is clearly your own fault. What does it have to do with me?"

"You want me to help you bear the loss? No way. Let me go, otherwise I will be rude to you."

At this time, a waiter from Zuixianju cleverly ran out of the door, checked the fish, shrimp and crabs in the bucket, and immediately shouted loudly: "Boss, he is sending us more fish, shrimp and crabs to die."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed and said, "The evidence is right outside, and you still want to deny it?"

Xu Kun regretted it deeply. If he had known this would happen, he would not have bought these dead fish, shrimps and crabs for a cheap price. Now, he has gotten himself into trouble.

As for the shopkeeper, he had finally caught a scapegoat, so how could he let him go easily? He hurriedly gave orders to the waiter.

"Hurry up and go to the yamen and ask the officers to arrest him!"

"Also, move all this evidence to the backyard. No one is allowed to touch it until the officer arrives!"

Xu Kun was completely panicked and hurriedly said, "Boss, I'm not selling these fish, shrimps, and crabs to you. I'm just... just... eating them myself!"

The shopkeeper said, "Don't try to play tricks on me. You were yelling outside the door just now, and the neighbors could hear you clearly."

"It's too late to deny it now!"

Xu Kun asked, "Then what do you want?"

The shopkeeper said, "Pay me money!"

"Fifty taels!"

Xu Kun almost cried: "How can I afford to pay you so much money?"

"If you don't have money, go to the yamen!" the shopkeeper shouted sternly.

Xu Kun said with a sad face, "I only have a little over thirty taels on me. Can I give it all to you?"

The shopkeeper said, "Bring it here!"

Xu Kun took out all the money he had and said, "That's all I have."

The shopkeeper signaled the waiter to collect the money, then released Xu Kun: "Take your dead fish, dead shrimp, and dead crabs with you and get out of here right now."

Xu Kun stood woodenly on the street, looking as if he had lost his soul and was at a loss.

How did it become like this?

Shouldn't I be getting rich? Why did I end up losing over thirty taels?

When Xu Kun thought about how his wife would ask him where his money was after he got home, his legs couldn't stop shaking.

We can't just go back like this, we must find a way to fill this hole.

Even half of it is fine.

Xu Kun forced himself to cheer up and went to the car dealership again. He took out the last few coins hidden in the soles of his shoes, rented a few ox carts, loaded them with fish, shrimps and crabs, and started selling them along the street.

However, when the people in the county saw the lifeless fish, shrimps and crabs in the bucket, they had no desire to buy them.

After shouting for a quarter of an hour, he sold two fish, but no shrimps or crabs.

Seeing that the temperature was rising and the death rate of fish, shrimp and crabs would continue to increase, Xu Kun could no longer sit still and directed the convoy to rush to Hezhong Village.

The only person who can buy all this fish, shrimp and crabs at this moment is Chen Lang from Hezhong Village.

I hope he can help me this time because of our past friendship.
