The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 46 The shopkeeper is here (2)
The people outside the yard naturally didn't know what was going on in the house, so they could only wait outside.Waiting and waiting, finally saw someone coming out of the room.

When the village chief saw so many people around his yard, he also guessed in his heart that these people probably saw people coming from the town, so he surrounded them anxiously, which is also reasonable.

"Okay, everyone probably wants to know why the shopkeeper of Peach Blossom Restaurant is here today. It's a good thing! A good thing for our village, a great thing!" The village chief became a little excited as he spoke.

Standing beside the village chief, the shopkeeper couldn't help smiling when he saw the familiar face in the crowd, and nodded as if to say hello.

Mu Jinxi also returned a smile.

"Everyone knows that there is a river in our village, and there are many fish in the river, but they can't be eaten. The shopkeeper came to our village today just for that river, and he wanted to pay a sum of money to buy that river!"

"Village chief, what do you mean by that? The river is nothing, how can it be wrapped up? Could it be that people in our village can't go to the river to wash clothes and catch shrimp?" asked loudly.

"Yes, yes, this is not acceptable. The Xiushui River is the only river in our village. If we can't go to the river to wash clothes, where do we go to do the laundry? Carry water and wash at home? How troublesome!"

"Village chief, this won't work, you should discuss it with him!"

"Everyone be quiet! Listen to me! Shopkeeper Zhang's appointment to the Xiushui River does not mean that everyone will not be able to wash clothes by the river in the future, but that the fish in the river will belong to the Peach Blossom Restaurant in the future! "The village chief said loudly.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted in a hurry.

"The fish in the river can't be eaten, what do you want it to do? You can't deceive us!"

"Hey, yes, yes, the fish can't be eaten, what do you want to do? Isn't this a waste of money?"

The village head took a lot of talking before finally letting everyone understand.It turns out that the fish in the river are not inedible, as long as the method is correct, they are still edible!

At the beginning, the village head was also very surprised to hear the shopkeeper Zhang say this. The villagers always thought that the fish in Xiushui River were not edible, but now someone told him that the fish is edible!And in the past, they have been wasting all the time, never catching fish in the river to eat!
The village chief regretted it very much, and the villagers at this time also felt very regretful after hearing this, because they didn't eat the free fish!What a fool!
But soon someone made a small calculation in his heart, hehe, although it was said that he was hired by shopkeeper Zhang, but shopkeeper Zhang is not a villager in Xiushui Village. After he left, someone went to catch fish in the river. I know, can he still count how many fish there are in the river?
In this way, you can get both money and free fish... It really kills two birds with one stone!

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled, turned his eyes around the surrounding villagers and said unpreparedly: "Since I have reached an agreement with the village chief, I will pay a sum of money to Xiushui Village, and then the fish in the river will be ours. I bought it, and it belongs to my Peach Blossom Restaurant. If anyone accidentally catches one, they have to pay the Peach Blossom Restaurant according to the market price, otherwise..."

Shopkeeper Zhang sneered: "Otherwise, you would be stealing other people's property, and you would have to go to the county magistrate to be ethical! If you don't say it, you will go to jail! So everyone, be careful, and don't catch fish from the Peach Blossom Restaurant by mistake! !"
