Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 51 The "God of Wealth" Extends an Olive Branch

Lin Chang'er was still pondering whether the "God of Wealth" would buy a grouper or a sea bass when she suddenly heard the words "all-inclusive" and didn't react for a moment.

Confused, he asked, "What kind of round is 'bao yuan'? I only have seafood and river fish here, I don't have this kind of round."

She had only heard of longan and meatballs, but what was baoyuan?

Wu Qingfeng was taken aback when he heard this. Looking at her serious expression, he found her strangely cute.

Suddenly he laughed.

He never imagined that this extremely clever little girl could be so absent-minded.

He said, "Take whatever's left."

Lin Chang'er then realized that she wanted them all.

He was secretly pleased, but then said, "Young master, seafood is cold in nature. Are you going to eat all of this by yourself?"

Wu Qingfeng's smile widened as he explained, "This official... cough cough cough..."

Lin Chang'er was listening carefully and seemed to hear something about an "official," but then there was a series of rapid coughs, and she didn't know if she had misheard.

When he spoke again, he said, "I am an elder who has just taken over the Sihai Restaurant. I can't eat this much by myself, but the restaurant can."

Lin Chang'er had no time to think further. Once she felt at ease, the image of Pei Sihai's magnanimous demeanor flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but take another look at Wu Qingfeng.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and people are grouped by their kind. In this era, large families with a rich heritage certainly do not lack in the upbringing of their children.

Thinking this way, I felt that the "God of Wealth" had an even more extraordinary aura.

Seeing that she seemed a little distracted, Wu Qingfeng felt uneasy. He had gone down to the local area alone to investigate people's livelihood and conditions, precisely because he didn't want to be recognized. However, he had almost let something slip just now, and he didn't know if she had heard him clearly.

He cautiously inquired, "What?"

Lin Chang'er then came to her senses and hurriedly said, "Something came up today, and the bulk goods haven't been sold yet. I still have 4 blue crabs, 25 coins each, 4 orchid crabs, 30 coins each, and 5 swimming crabs, 35 coins each."

Three grouper, 100 coins each; four sea bass, 80 coins each; two conger eels, the larger one weighing about 10 catties, 300 coins; the smaller one weighing about 8 catties, 240 coins.

Half a bucket of mantis shrimp is 50 coins, and these clams and small river fish are a complimentary bonus! The total is 1.65 taels, but I'll round it down to 1.6 taels.

Upon hearing her words, a hint of amazement flashed in Wu Qingfeng's eyes.

This little girl can do mental arithmetic, and she can even calculate faster than him while reciting the calculations.

Wu Qingfeng has always been extremely confident in his mental arithmetic abilities. Looking across the capital, if he claims to be second, no one would dare to claim to be first.

This inevitably made him even more interested in the young girl in front of him.

Judging from her young age and the fact that she is a girl, even if her family had spare money, they couldn't possibly send her to school. I don't know if it's because she's become skilled through practice or if she has been guided by a master.

However, it's still a bit of a pity; it would have been better if it had been a man.

Wu Qingfeng sighed almost imperceptibly, took out a piece of silver from his purse, and handed it to her.

Lin Chang'er saw that it was a silver ingot and, without even touching it, smiled and said, "Young master, I don't have change."

Wu Qingfeng paused, instinctively about to say, "No need to look."

Lin Chang'er spoke first: "There are quite a lot of things today, and you certainly can't carry them all with just your two hands. I'll help you deliver them to Sihai Restaurant. At that time, could you please ask the manager to help me get one tael and six mace of silver?"

Wu Qingfeng felt he didn't need the money, but seeing her sincere expression, which didn't seem pretentious, he couldn't help but think more highly of her, and his original idea was settled.

He said to her, "Thank you for your trouble."

"No trouble at all, please wait a moment."

Lin Chang'er waved her hand and turned to check the goods, only to see the customer who originally wanted to buy the 18-coin dead crab looking at her with a mournful expression, "Is it all sold out?"

Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we're out of stock today. I'll come back tomorrow. If you want some, come back tomorrow."

The customer sighed and muttered, "If I had known, I wouldn't have hesitated."

Lin Chang'er joked, "What you said makes sense. If you like something, you should act on it. Hesitation will lead to defeat."

But don't be upset, if you come early tomorrow, I'll give you a two-cent discount and throw in a small duck egg.

Upon hearing this, the customer's gloomy expression vanished. "It's settled then, I'll come tomorrow. You can't go back on your word."

Lin Chang'er laughed and said, "I'm going to do business in this market for a long time, so I can't back out."

The guest then left happily.

Lin Chang'er then said to the crowd still watching the excitement at the stall, "Thank you all for your support. We're all sold out for today. Please come again tomorrow."

After Lin Chang'er finished checking the goods, the crowd dispersed. The old lady selling scallions returned with a basket of scallions. She saw that there were still quite a few goods left on the stall, but there were hardly any customers.

He hurriedly asked, "Did I get back late and cause any problems?"

“You’ve come back just in time,” Lin Chang’er said, pointing to Wu Qingfeng. “This young master has taken care of all these things.”

The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Chang'er asked her again, "How many kilograms is this basket?"

The old lady smiled, "Five catties, I'll bring you more tomorrow." The weather isn't too hot yet, and they're all pulled up with the roots on. I'll just sprinkle some water on them and leave them until tomorrow, it won't be a problem.

Besides, 5 catties of scallions cost 10 coins. It's a small business, and we save money one coin at a time. Once the goods are sold, we try to save as much as possible.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'er roughly guessed what she was thinking.

He laughed and said, "How can you cook seafood without scallions!"

He counted out 10 copper coins from his purse and stuffed them into her hand. Then, he said to the "God of Wealth," "Young master, we give away scallions with every purchase here. Since you have so many, this whole basket is yours."

Wu Qingfeng didn't say much, only saying, "Thank you."

Lin Chang'er smiled and turned to the old lady, "Do you have time right now? There are a lot of things. I'll help the children deliver them to this young master."

Could you watch the stall for me a little longer?

The old lady smiled and said, "Go ahead and do it. I'll keep an eye on things for you."

Lin Chang'er thanked her, and the little goldfish had already taken the initiative to carry the crab basket.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Chang'er, along with Xiao Jinyu, Xu Gun'er, and Wu Qingfeng, appeared at the entrance of Sihai Restaurant with buckets of various sizes.

The new helper, a trusted confidant brought by Pei Sihai, immediately greeted Wu Qingfeng as "Third Master" and came forward to help. "Why didn't you bring a servant with you when you went out, Third Master? These rough jobs are not for you to do. Please take a rest..."

"A few people come out and carry the things inside. Prepare tea in the private room upstairs." He called out as he went inside.

He then glanced down at the seafood in the bucket and laughed, "What a coincidence! The master and young master Bai went to the city early this morning to buy seafood. The buyers who came back first said that the quality doesn't seem to be ideal."

"If I had known you had these connections, Third Master, I wouldn't have bothered going to all that trouble to run to that city."

"Uncle Pei hasn't returned yet?"

The servant said, "You should have some tea with your son, then you should go back."

Wu Qingfeng hummed in response, his eyes glancing unconsciously at Lin Chang'er.

The stage has been set up for her; how the negotiations proceed from there depends on her own abilities...
