A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off

Hearing that Manager Xu was asking about serious matters, Song Zhili put down her chopsticks and took out a cloth to wipe her mouth.

Actually, she hadn't decided how to sell the fish, since it wasn't worth much before and was plentiful in the river. But if they partnered with Jixiang Restaurant...

Many people will definitely come to the river to catch fish to sell, and some may even sell them for a penny. But once they have caught all the fish in the river, they will have none left, and only their own fishpond will have fish to sell!

"Manager Xu, do you really believe that 20 coins per pound is acceptable?"

Upon hearing the price, Manager Xu gasped in shock. Not only him, but even Song Zidong, who was sitting next to Song Zhili, was startled.

He thought his little sister had gone mad. A pound of meat only cost 25 coins, yet she was selling such cheap fish for such a high price! He figured Manager Xu would never agree to that.

Sure enough, Manager Xu said with difficulty, "Miss Song, are you mistaken? This pound of meat is only 25 coins, but you're selling this fish for 20 coins! Isn't that a bit too expensive?"

Shopkeeper Xu was indeed a little pained by the price. A slightly larger fish usually weighs about three to four pounds, and this one would cost at least forty coins, which was indeed a bit expensive!

"Manager Xu, you can't argue like that. You need to know that this fish is a good thing. The reason why everyone thinks it's cheap is because no one knows how to handle or cook it."

Now I'm going to give you the recipe for cooking this fish. In this town, only your restaurant knows how to cook it this way. And I've heard that this Jixiang Restaurant isn't just in our town; it seems there's another one in the county town as well.

Manager Xu, think about it carefully. If your restaurant learns this recipe and takes it to the county town, wouldn't you be the only restaurant that knows how to cook this fish?

After Song Zhili's reminder, Manager Xu also agreed. After considering it carefully, he said, "Miss Song, I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to inform our boss and ask for his opinion."

Song Zhili was naturally happy to agree. She nodded and said, "Alright, whether you agree or not, Manager Xu, please let me know."

"That's natural."

"Alright, I have nothing else to do, Manager Xu, my brother and I will head back now."

Song Zhili got up, picked up her bucket and walked outside. But after a few steps, she realized that Song Zidong hadn't followed, so she turned her head to look at him.

Seeing that Song Zidong was still sitting motionless in the chair, she called out to him, "Big brother, let's go home."

Hearing the sound, Song Zidong came to his senses. He responded and quickly ran a few steps toward Song Zhili.

Manager Xu followed behind them, escorting them to the door and watching them leave.

Only after they were out of sight did Manager Xu turn away, go to the counter, take out paper and pen, write a letter, fold it up and put it in an envelope. Then he asked Xiao Liu to find someone to quickly deliver it to the county town.

Just as Xiao Liu was about to run out with the letter, Manager Xu felt something was amiss and stopped him.

"Xiao Liu, wait a minute, bring that letter back to me." After Xiao Liu returned the letter to Manager Xu, Manager Xu continued, "I'll go there myself. If anything happens at the restaurant these next few days, I'll deal with it when I get back."

Manager Xu was still a little worried, so he planned to go to the county town himself. His employer lived in the county town, and it would take at least a day to get there by horse-drawn carriage from the town.

He immediately had Xiao Liuzi bring out the carriage, and then he rode in the carriage towards the county town.

Meanwhile, Song Zhili and Song Zidong bought a lot of things on the street, and after they finished shopping, they got into an oxcart.

Throughout the journey accompanying Song Zhili shopping, Song Zidong had held back for a long time, but now that they were on the oxcart, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Little sister, are you really going to sell that fish for such a high price? Will Manager Xu really buy it? What if they refuse to buy it?"

"Let's see if they refuse to buy. Let's try first. If they want a lower price, that's fine, but not too low. Alright, brother, don't think too much about it. If we can't sell them, we can just make fish balls from those fish."

Speaking of fish balls, Song Zhili still felt a little heartache. If the fish could really sell for this price in the future, she wondered if she should raise the price of the fish balls as well.

Forget it, I'll wait for Manager Xu's reply.

Song Zhili shook her head, clearing her mind of all thoughts. As soon as she returned home, she called everyone into the main room.

“Grandpa, Dad, our fishpond is all set up now. Go to the village and have everyone catch fish. It’s one coin per fish. I’ll take as many as you can catch. Release all the fish you catch into the pond.”

After Song Zhili finished speaking, Song Hai and Song Dashan didn't ask any more questions. They turned around and walked out of the house to find someone to catch fish with.

Song Zidong and Song Ziming were not idle either; they went to the river to catch fish. In fact, Heidan and the others had been catching fish by the river for the past few days, and there weren't many fish left in the river.

The remaining fish in the river are not as big as before; the fish that Heidan has caught in the past few days are only about a pound each.

All the men in the family had gone out, leaving only Hu Cuicui, Li Shi, Ji Qingqing, and Zhao Shi making fish balls in the courtyard.

Sun Taohua hasn't come back since she went back last time, and no one knows what's going on.

Song Zhili came to Song Ziyuan's room and checked his leg. He was recovering very well, but he still needed to stay in bed for a while before he could get up.

"Second Brother, your leg is recovering very well. You'll be able to walk around in a while. You'll need to rest in bed for the next few days. I have a book here, would you like to read it?"

Song Zhili took out a book without a cover from her bosom. It was actually a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms that she had copied. She was afraid that Song Ziyuan would be bored lying in bed all day, so she took it out to help him pass the time.

"Thank you, little sister."

Song Ziyuan took the book and thanked Song Zhili.

After leaving Song Ziyuan's room, Song Zhili returned to her own room. He Chengjing was still in her space. Although she had given him a sleeping potion, Song Zhili was still afraid that he would wake up.

As soon as Song Zhili entered the space and arrived at the room on the second floor where He Chengjing was lying, she saw that the bed was empty when she pushed open the door.

She ran inside and checked everywhere, but couldn't find He Chengjing. She was almost going crazy!

Strange, where did they go?

They clearly drugged him, so could he have woken up? But if he's awake, where would he go?

Thinking of this, Song Zhili suddenly felt a sense of foreboding!
