Chapter 158: Want to Eat Fish
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Xia knew that Auntie Tian was just being polite, but what Jiang Xia didn’t expect was that Aunt Tian really did help their family out in a big way in the days to come.
Of course, these are all things to be discussed later.
After saying goodbye to Tian Cui, Jiang Xia and her father started to think about what to do next.
Jiang Chuan thought about the scene on the bus with Jiang Xia and was still a little scared. “Xiao Xia, you can’t use your abilities like that in the future!”
If he hadn’t been slow to react, Jiang Chuan would never have let Jiang Xia use her abilities in front of so many people.
Not to mention that people might think they’re monsters, if someone reported that their vegetables were illegally obtained, their entire family could be arrested.
Jiang Xia also knew that she had been too impulsive just now. She lowered her head and walked without saying a word.
Seeing Jiang Xia’s silence, Jiang Chuan couldn’t bring himself to scold her.
The bus took a different route from the donkey cart.
They were now following a small river into town.
The river was used by the town people for washing clothes. It wasn’t exactly crystal clear, but if you looked closely, you could see a couple of small fish.
Fish?
Thinking about fish, the unpleasant feelings that Jiang Xia had when Jiang Chuan scolded her disappeared instantly.
Jiang Gu had mentioned a few days ago that he wanted to eat fish. Isn’t this a chance to get fish without any effort?
“Dad, look, there are fish!”
“Fish? Where?” Jiang Chuan looked in the direction Jiang Xia pointed, but couldn’t see any fish.
“Come closer and look!” Jiang Xia pulled Jiang Chuan to the riverside and then he saw the fish fry that were not even as big as a fingertip.
“These fish are too small. They can’t be eaten.” Jiang Chuan looked troubled.
“Dad, you forgot, I have the interspace. 1 can catch these fish and raise them in there. Not only will we be able to eat fish regularly, but we can also find a new way to get rich!”
As soon as Jiang Xia saw the fish, she thought about raising fish to sell for money.
Now that there was a drought, if she could get one or two fish, it would be really rare, and the fish would be easy to sell and fetch a good price.
“Oh! You’re right, how could I be so forgetful!”
After his daughter pointed it out, Jiang Chuan slapped his forehead, feeling foolish.
He put down his bamboo basket, took off his shoes, rolled up his pants and went into the river.
Catching small fish wasn’t as hard as catching big fish. You just needed some bait in your hand and they’d run right into your palm.
In a short while, the father-daughter duo caught quite a few fish, and Jiang Xia put them all into the river in her interspace to raise them.
After catching the fish, the two of them happily continued on their way into town, as if the path to prosperity lay just ahead.
Before they arrived at the city town, Jiang Xia took out the rabbit from Jiang Chuan’s basket and put a lot of wild vegetables into the basket.
As soon as they entered the town, Jiang Xia thought of Wang Ping, the woman they had first met in town, knowing that her family must still need wild vegetables.
The father-daughter duo headed straight to Wang Ping’s hotel without hesitation.
As expected, Wang Ping was extremely happy to see them.
She praised the quality of their vegetables and the taste they provided, and seeing that they also brought wild rabbits this time, she bought all the rabbits and vegetables without hesitation.
This time, Jiang Xia and her father brought a lot of wild vegetables, and given that Wang Ping had tasted their vegetables before, she offered a higher price. She gave twelve yuan for the two wild rabbits and a generous twenty pound of grain tickets for almost twenty-five kilograms of vegetables in two baskets.
It was clear how much Sister Wang Ping loved these vegetables. While the price for the wild rabbits was not high, she gave plenty of grain tickets.
The outcome completely exceeded the father-daughter duo’s expectations.
They were stunned at Sister Wang Ping’s generosity.
After trading the vegetables, Jiang Xia was ready to leave. But before she could, Wang Ping insisted on giving her some candy to take with her. However, having already exchanged for money and so many grain tickets, Jiang Xia felt too embarrassed to accept the candy.
Furthermore, before they left, Wang Ping made it clear that she wanted them to bring more wild vegetables next time, insisting that she would take as much as they could bring.
Wanting to maintain a long-term business relationship, they naturally couldn’t be greedy. Jiang Xia and Jiang Chuan understood this very well..
