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

While Xu Kun was rushing to Hezhong Village, Chen Lang took Tianshangju's car and came to Shanghe Village.

After the gangster appeared in the village yesterday, Chen Lang asked someone to pass a message to Li Xiaohu, asking him to mobilize the villagers of Shanghe Village to catch fish and shrimps and come to pick them up early the next morning.

The cook who was accompanying the Tianshangju team also knew what was happening in the village, so he had no complaints about having to walk a little further. He even thought it was a good opportunity to ask Chen Lang for some cooking advice during this time.

Chen Lang's casual instructions made the chef ecstatic.

With these experiences, it won’t be long before I can become the head chef of Tianshangju!

By then, your monthly salary will be doubled, your bonus will be doubled, and you can even ask two girls to accompany you to a brothel!

It’s very beautiful.

Arriving at Li Xiaohu's home in Shanghe Village, after loading all the fish, shrimp, and crabs onto the truck, the cook bowed to Chen Lang and said, "Brother Chen, thank you so much!"

Chen Lang waved his hand: "I should be the one thanking you for taking the extra mile."

"But we won't have to go this extra distance tomorrow."

The cook left happily.

Li Xiaohu was a little puzzled and asked, "Brother-in-law, didn't you say that the people in your village wouldn't sell fish, shrimp, and crabs to you?"

"You're not going to continue purchasing in our village, so what are you going to give to Tianshangju tomorrow?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Just now, the chef from Tianshangju told me that they tampered with the recipes of the two recipes that Zuixianju had cheated them of. Coupled with the fact that the fish, shrimp, and crabs Zuixianju bought weren't fresh enough, this caused a mass outbreak of food poisoning among the diners at Zuixianju."

"Zuixianju paid nearly a hundred taels of silver for this, so naturally they won't do this business again."

"And the person who challenged the rules will definitely not come back to the village to buy fish, shrimp and crabs."

"If people in our village still want to make this money, they have no choice but to come to me. Even if I lower the price, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and swallow it."

Li Xiaohu suddenly realized: "I see, but if you ask me, this price should be lowered sharply."

"It was the people in your village who were unkind first, so naturally my brother-in-law can be unjust."

Chen Lang said, "It's not like they're abandoning it. After all, sellers all hope to sell their items for more money. If someone offers a higher price than me, it's natural for them to change their business."

"Although this is the truth, I still feel a little unhappy, so I lowered the price to teach them a lesson and make a little more money for myself."

"I'm leaving now. It's too late to go back. Your sister must be worried."

When I returned to the village, I found a large group of people gathered at the entrance, all of them were very excited.

Although Chen Lang couldn't see the face of the person they surrounded, his back looked familiar.

However, Chen Lang was not interested in joining in the fun, so he went around to the end of the village and entered.

As for the person who was surrounded, it was naturally Xu Kun.

The villagers were waiting for him at the village entrance early in the morning. After all, Xu Kun had promised yesterday that he would come to buy the goods. But after waiting for a long time, this guy didn't show up until almost noon.

Although the wait was a bit long, it finally came.

However, Xu Kun's first words completely ignited the villagers' long-held resentment.

He actually refused to accept it!

"You city people are bullying us honest country folk, aren't you? You clearly said you would take it yesterday, but now you're going back on your word? Do you have any shame?"

"That's right. In order to touch these fish, shrimps and crabs, we got up before dawn, and several of us were almost bitten by snakes."

"Look at my hands, they've been pinched by the crabs. If you don't take them, how can you justify all the suffering I've endured?"

"I don't think he wants to buy it, but he wants to lower the price."

"Go ahead and lower the price. We can accept a reduction of three or four cents per pound. Hurry up and take these fish, shrimps and crabs away. There is still work waiting to be done in the fields."

Xu Kun was already fuming, and now surrounded by this group of villagers, who were forcing him to buy fish, shrimp, and crabs, he couldn't suppress his anger any longer and roared, "Shut the fuck up!"

The villagers were stunned and kept quiet.

Xu Kun took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Listen carefully, you can sell these fish, shrimps and crabs to whoever you want, I definitely won't buy them."

"Get out of my way now. If you continue to stop me, I won't be polite."

After saying that, he snatched the whip from the driver's hand and whipped the ox hard on its back.

The old cow pulling the cart mooed and ran forward with all four hooves.

The villagers did not dare to block the road and moved to the sides.

Xu Kun finally got rid of this group of "troublemakers" and rushed into the village to find Chen Lang impatiently.

After Xu Kun entered the village, he asked a little kid about Chen Lang's residence, and then rushed to Chen Lang's door.

The door was closed, and Xu Kun went up and knocked hard on it.

"Chen Erlang, open the door, I'm Xu Kun."

After knocking several times, the door slowly opened.

It was Li Xiuzhi who opened the door. Seeing several carts following behind Xu Kun, all loaded with fish, she said, "Sorry, we don't accept these anymore. There's someone outside the village who does. You can go find him."

After that, close the door.

Xu Kun quickly used his foot to block the door and said with a flattering smile, "You are my sister-in-law Li Xiuzhi, right? My name is Xu Kun, and I am Chen Erlang's...good brother."

"Call him out, I have something to ask him."

Li Xiuzhi frowned and said, "Then wait a moment."

A moment later, Chen Lang appeared in front of Xu Kun and asked indifferently, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Kun immediately bowed and apologized repeatedly: "Brother, I'm here to apologize to you."

"I shouldn't have taken your business."

Chen Lang suddenly realized. No wonder he felt that the back figure looked familiar when he entered the village just now. It turns out that it was you, the one who was so capable.

You can’t sell your fish, shrimps and crabs, so you come to me. Do you want me to clean up your mess?

Although he looks so ugly, he has beautiful thoughts.

"In business, there's no such thing as grabbing or not. It's just like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own unique skills."

"You have more capital than me, so it's normal for the villagers to come to you to sell fish, shrimp and crabs."

"To be honest, I'm tempted by your purchase price. I just went out and bought seven or eight kilograms of fish, shrimp, and crabs, ready to sell them to you."

Xu Kun was annoyed and embarrassed, but he had to keep a forced smile on his face and said, "Brother, please stop making fun of me."

"I've thought about it carefully. I'm not cut out for business. But you've been educated and your brain is brighter than mine. Business is a good fit for you."

Chen Lang sighed and said, "Brother, please don't say that."

"If a scholar engages in business, he will be called a loser. If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have done such a shameful thing."

"But now it's all good. You've solved this problem for me. From now on, I'll catch seven or eight kilograms of fish, shrimp, and crabs every day and sell them to you. That'll allow my family to make ends meet."
