After being forced to travel through time by accident, I became famous in the entertainment industry

"My two guests, I'm really sorry, the last few red carps were bought by the guest just now." The shopkeeper saw that the two people in front of him were unfamiliar and was not sure what they were going to do.

Xu Zhao guessed that the red carp might be difficult to buy, and he was not surprised that the shopkeeper said so.

"That's such a shame! I looked at that carp, its body was bright red, and in the sun, its scales looked as if coated with a layer of gold. If it were kept in a fish pond, it would surely be beautiful."

The shopkeeper had a sharp eye. He looked at the two people in front of him. Although they were dressed simply, it was easy to tell from their temperament that they were either rich or noble.

"Shopkeeper, you really have no more? Seeing how much my wife likes them, I am willing to pay ten times the price for a few of your red carp," Shen Yu pretended to be affectionate. "This business is a sure win for you."

A few red carps, ten times the price. The shopkeeper has been in business for some years, and it is hard not to be tempted when hearing this number.

Can……

The shopkeeper said apologetically, "My dear guests, I really don't want to do business with you. Our shop is currently out of red carp."

"In that case, my husband, please don't make things difficult for the shopkeeper. When doing business, harmony brings wealth. I believe the shopkeeper will not cheat us."

Xu Zhao took Shen Yu's arm and said, "Boss, where did you catch this red carp? I've never seen such a novel fish in this city."

Shen Yu didn't expect Xu Zhao to do such a bold thing. His body froze and he dared not move.

Xu Zhao looked innocent, and there was no sign of any other meaning in his expression. The shopkeeper thought that the two men did not make things difficult for him, and that they were probably wealthy businessmen in disguise passing by.

There were frequent wars on the border, and wealthy businessmen from various countries would be a little careful when they came here, and it was common for them to disguise themselves.

But he still had doubts.

"Madam, you may not know that the red carp in our store only come from the river that separates Yue Kingdom and Zhongjin Kingdom. They are caught fresh from the river in the morning and delivered to our store in the afternoon. They are kept in water throughout the journey. If any carp dies during the journey, they will be immediately placed in ice to preserve their freshness."

Hearing the two of them say that they were husband and wife, the shopkeeper naturally called Xu Zhao "Madam".

"That sounds strange." Xu Zhao was very accustomed to the identity given to her by Shen Yu.

There was a map of the border between Mobei, Yue and Zhongjin in Shen Yu's tent. Xu Zhao often went in and out of his tent, so he had naturally seen it.

There is a big mountain at the border between Mobei State and Zhongjin State. It is a no-man's land and difficult to cross. Therefore, it is often heard that many refugees from the two countries fled to the mountains to survive.

The border between Mobei State and Yue State is a plain with an unobstructed view, which makes it easy for Mobei State to harass Yue State's border.

The entire Yue Kingdom and Zhongjin Kingdom are separated by a surging river. If you want to go to Zhongjin Kingdom, you must take a large ship.

And this red carp comes from this river.

"I'm telling you this, you will also have red carp tomorrow?" Shen Yu asked. He didn't expect that the red carp was not something found in this city and required many ways to transport it.

The shopkeeper stroked his mustache and said, "I'm afraid there won't be any fish tomorrow."

"What is the reason for this?"

Xu Zhao released Shen Yu's arm and looked up to see a budgie with sky-blue feathers. It looked very cute and he wanted to tease it, also to make the shopkeeper relax a little.

But she does like these cute little things.

The shopkeeper saw Xu Zhao set his sights on the parrot again, picked up a long pole and took down the birdcage hanging above his head.

There was a thin iron chain tied to the parrot's feet. The shopkeeper opened the birdcage and took the parrot out. Its claws tightly grasped the shopkeeper's fingertips, and he teased it in front of Xu Zhao.

"Our red carp have to be ordered in advance. As you can see, not everyone who passes by my shop will come in to buy something. Some people don't even come in to take a look."

"We need ice to transport our red carp. Madam, you should know that ice is not easy to store and is consumed a lot during transportation, so the price is already high. We will only prepare the red carp on the day if you pre-order in advance."

The shopkeeper thought that if the couple were really wealthy businessmen, they would miss an opportunity to make a lot of money if they left. As long as he didn't reveal the information of the previous buyer, he could probably let the couple know a little more.

In other words, Xu Zhao and the others were lucky today, as they happened to catch the trading day of red carp. Otherwise, Xu Zhao might not have remembered this so easily.

After all, history books will record when and where the war failed and the reasons for its failure, but they will not record in detail where and when the red carp was bought.

Xu Zhao picked up a willow branch and teased the parrot standing on the shopkeeper's fingertips.

"If Madam likes it, why not take this parrot away? It can entertain you on weekdays."

The shopkeeper saw that Xu Zhao's eyes were fixed on the parrot, and thought that he liked it very much, so he wanted to promote it well. It would be best if he could forget about the red carp.

"This parrot is really cute. Does Madam like it?" Shen Yu had naturally seen Xu Zhao teasing the parrot. As long as she said she liked it, he would buy it on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhao shook his head and pouted, seeming somewhat unhappy. "Although this parrot is pretty, it doesn't make me as happy as the red carp. It looks cute and has good meaning."

The red carp was mentioned again.

"But all the red carp are sold out today. Otherwise, I will send my men to the river to catch some myself." Shen Yu saw Xu Zhao was unhappy and looked anxious. "Madam, please don't be unhappy. As long as you want it, I will definitely get it for you."

Shen Yu acted like he had money and could do whatever he wanted.

Xu Zhao was teasing the parrot in a depressed mood, and the shopkeeper saw clearly how he was trying hard to arouse its interest.

"Boss, I just heard you say that it is difficult to transport the red carp, is that true?" Shen Yu inquired about the news step by step.

The shopkeeper nodded, "Indeed."

Shen Yu: "If that's the case, then when will you send me the next batch? If my wife and I haven't left by then, we'll definitely come to your shop and buy a few."

"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated. If it was an ordinary item, he would have told the two customers. But the people who came to buy the red carp happened to be from Mobei. If they were discovered, it would be a big deal.

What's more, he always suspected that these two people had other intentions.

"Since transportation is complicated, it's natural to send it together with the next customer who has made a reservation. This will save the most money." Xu Zhao agreed. "Boss, if you can sell me a few red carp, I will give you an extra ounce of hard-earned money for each one. This fee will not be included in the account."

Xu Zhao's words were very clear; he wanted the shopkeeper to take kickbacks.
