He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

This "Master Jin" is none other than Jin Manlou.

The leader of the pirate alliance, and the eldest brother of the Ruins of St. Paul's.

He took a big gulp of wine and said casually, "I saw it all. I saw how he and his woman took care of ten or so of you in no time. You're really useless."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed.

Ding Taishan looked extremely embarrassed and gritted his teeth.

"Brother Jin, it's mainly because that kid and that bitch acted too fast. My brothers and I didn't even have time to react before we were taken care of. Next time we fight them, I believe we can at least..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Manlou interrupted him.

"At least you can last a few more minutes, right?"

Ding Taishan was even more embarrassed. He stammered, not knowing what to say. He had completely lost face.

Jin Manlou slammed the empty wine glass heavily on the table.

"Anyway, I didn't expect to rely on you guys to take care of that kid. He's the kind of person who took down the entire Ruins of St. Paul's gang, so he must have his own abilities."

"I just wanted to see how capable he and that woman really were. What I saw was somewhat unexpected, but so what? It's still easy to deal with him."

"At least now we can know ourselves and our enemy."

It turns out that Ding Taishan was sent by Jin Manlou to test Niu Bayi's abilities.

Ding Taishan said, "Brother Jin, you're so capable, I believe you can definitely take care of Niu Bayi. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know. I only ask that after you've dealt with Niu Bayi—"

"Let me kick him a few times, let me take back all the money he stole! I'll take it back double!"

His face was contorted in a grotesque grimace; he looked like a vengeful ghost.

Jin Manlou nodded slightly, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

The viciousness and ferocity on his face were probably a hundred or two hundred times greater than Ding Taishan's.

Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen returned to the dock by boat, packed their things, each carrying a bucket of ginseng, and went home.

This bucket is extra large, so it can hold a lot of ginseng. Each bucket indeed weighs about 100 jin (50 kg) net.

This weight is no challenge for He Zhenzhen.

With a few quick shouts, the two entered the He family's house.

It's almost six o'clock now.

As soon as they entered, the two smelled the aroma of food.

Immediately, a gulping sound was heard, and he swallowed hard.

After a busy afternoon, I've completely digested the grilled eel I ate for lunch, and now all I want to do is have a proper meal.

The two men put down the two buckets of sea cucumbers and went to the kitchen door to take a look.

Inside, two people were busy at work; it was Grandma and Zhang Xiuli.

Moreover, it was Grandma who was cooking, and Zhang Xiuli seemed to be just helping out.

Several large fish and meat dishes were already laid out by the stove, making one's mouth water just looking at them.

He Zhenzhen excitedly exclaimed, "Grandma! Mom! We're back! Wow, Grandma, you cooked yourself! I can tell your food is definitely much tastier than my mom's!"

Zhang Xiuli was quite impressed with her cooking skills and often took pride in them.

But now, hearing her daughter say this, she wasn't angry; instead, she nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, that's right, Ba Yi, your grandma's cooking is amazing. I thought I was pretty good at it, but after tasting her dishes, they're so delicious. She can make a simple stir-fried vegetable dish, and after eating just one piece, I want to eat the whole plate."

"Your grandmother's cooking is absolutely amazing!"

Grandma said, "This stir-fry is very simple. The most important thing is not the seasoning, but mastering the heat. If the heat is right, even if you only have salt, you can still make a very good dish."

"I'll talk to you properly later. Maybe your cooking will even be better than mine."

Zhang Xiuli nodded repeatedly and agreed.

He Zhenzhen also raised both hands high.

"Grandma, I want to learn how to cook too. I want to be better than you and Mom so that I can have Bayi come home for dinner every day."

Grandma smiled kindly.

"That's right, that's right, Zhenzhen is absolutely right. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

Su Puyue also suddenly appeared, raising her hand as well.

"Grandma, I want you to teach me how to cook too. I want to be a good cook as well."

Grandma laughed heartily.

"Okay, okay, I'll teach you everything."

Zhang Xiuli asked, "Bayi, Zhenzhen, didn't you two go out to sea early this morning to catch ginseng? Why are you only coming back now?"

He Zhenzhen said excitedly, "Mom, every time I go out to sea with Bayi, we have good luck. We originally wanted to catch sea cucumbers, but we accidentally discovered that there are a lot of fish hiding in the area where sea cucumbers are found."

"As soon as we cast our nets, we caught big fish. I even caught a grouper that weighed over ten kilograms. So, we took these fish to the county dock to sell, and we ended up making over ten thousand yuan."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an incredulous voice came from the doorway.

"What? It sold for over ten thousand yuan? Are you kidding me? Even though that boat from August 1st is big, even if the fish hold is full, and it's filled with the most expensive fish, it's not worth over ten thousand yuan. At most, it's worth five or six thousand yuan."

The one speaking was He Laifu.

He also glared at his sister.

"You're such a braggart."

He Zhenzhen got angry, put her hands on her hips, and shouted irritably, "Who's bragging? I really made over ten thousand yuan! 3800 yuan plus 7000 yuan, you do the math and see how much that is!"

He Rong also appeared.

"What? That's so much money? That's way over 10000 yuan! What kind of fish did you catch that made so much money?"

He Zhenzhen said proudly, "We only sold the fish we caught for 3800 yuan, but we still made more than 10,000 yuan. Can you guess why?"

Everyone shook their heads, their faces full of confusion.

The fish, which was worth more than 3000 yuan, made a profit of more than 10000 yuan.

How can such a magical thing exist in the world?

He Zhenzhen recounted what had happened at the county dock in just a few words, leaving everyone speechless.

"My God!"

He Laifu gave two thumbs up, one to his sister and the other to Niu Bayi.

"You two are amazing! You beat that fishmonger into submission and made him pay so much money with such a humiliating attitude."

He Rong burst into laughter.

"I've heard of this Ding Taishan before. He's a pretty powerful fish tyrant. I never imagined he'd be dealt with so badly by Bayi."

Zhang Xiuli said worriedly, "Won't this lead to some bad consequences? What if they try to retaliate?"

Niu Bayi said, "Mom, don't worry, everyone can rest assured. Unless Ding Taishan wants to die, let him come and take revenge. Our family isn't afraid of that fishmonger!"

"Bring more of them, we won't be afraid even if they're pirates."

He Laifu nodded vigorously.

"That's right. My brother-in-law is someone who has wiped out an entire gang of pirates. Why should he be afraid of a fish tyrant? Is a fish tyrant more powerful than a pirate? But Bayi, when are you going to teach me some kung fu? I want to fight evil with you."

He waved his fists impatiently.
