Chapter 29 Fish Sold Out
"Brother, uncle, are the fish sold out so quickly?" When Miao Xiaoyan returned to the market, she saw Miao Dafu talking and laughing with the middle-aged uncle, and the buckets were already empty.

"Sold out!" Miao Dafu said with a smile, it's not even noon yet.

"Hehe, today there are quite a few neighbors who bought your live fish yesterday. They thought the fish was delicious and came back to buy it. Fortunately, Dafu came back to help me, so they believed that what I sold was your fish." The uncle smiled. Said.

Miao Dafu said to Miao Xiaoyan again: "Live fish is easy to sell. Tomorrow, Yanzi will see if he can get some more fish for Uncle Zhang to sell. Only by earning a little more money can he hire a doctor for Uncle Zhang's children."

"Okay!" Miao Xiaoyan responded with a smile, Miao Dafu and Zhang Shunian seem to have a very happy conversation, and even changed their address.

"Come on, Dafu, I almost forgot to return the money to you." Uncle Zhang counted out three hundred copper coins and handed them to Dafu, who also accepted them with a smile.

"Dafu, Yanzi, I will pay you back the one hundred Wen I borrowed from you yesterday." Uncle Zhang said again.

"Uncle Zhang, I told you that it is your compensation, so we will accept the three hundred Wen." Miao Dafu said.

"Uncle Zhang, your child is still sick, and the fish is sold out. You should go back early. We will bring the fish over at this time tomorrow." Miao Xiaoyan said.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Uncle Zhang said goodbye to the two happily.

"Swallow, have you bought meat?" Miao Dafu looked at the meat in Miao Xiaoyan's hand and asked, this meat is not cheap!
At this moment, Miao Xiaoyan remembered the piece of meat given by the shopkeeper, and said to Miao Dafu: "Brother, I didn't buy this, it was given to me by the shopkeeper of Meizi Restaurant."

"Swallow, how can you accept other people's things for no reason?" Miao Dafu lightly reproached.

"Brother, the shopkeeper gave it to me because he likes me."

Of course, it is impossible for Miao Xiaoyan to say that she taught the shopkeeper how to do the billing, and the shopkeeper gave her the meat, and Miao Dafu would not believe it. It seems that next time you go to the restaurant, you must remember to keep the shopkeeper a secret.

"That's not okay, let's send the meat back." Miao Dafu resolutely refused to let Miao Xiaoyan accept this piece of meat.

"Brother, think about how long it has been since Xiaoque and Xiaobao tasted meat. Let's take this meat back first, and give the shopkeeper two fish some other day." Miao Xiaoyan refused to return the meat, and Worried that Miao Dafu would return to the "Plum Restaurant", and the shopkeeper would tell her about her ability to settle accounts.

Miao Dafu hesitated again when he thought of his two younger brothers and sisters, and said after a while, "Then remember to bring two fish to the shopkeeper tomorrow."

"Brother, I will!" Miao Xiaoyan heaved a sigh of relief.

"By the way, brother, if we have a lot of fish tomorrow, what will we use to pretend to be in the town?" Miao Xiaoyan suddenly thought of a problem in front of her.

"I don't know how many fish we can catch tomorrow?" Miao Dafu murmured, "If there are too many fish, it will be difficult."

"Brother, how about this, let's go to the carpenter's shop to order a big wooden barrel, and we will use this big wooden barrel to pack fish to the town in the future."

"Big wooden barrel?" Miao Dafu was taken aback for a moment, then said sadly, "I can also make this big wooden barrel, but I don't have tools."

When Miao Xiaoyan heard Miao Dafu's words, she remembered that Miao Dafu had once worked as an apprentice in a carpenter's shop. Later, because the original owner's sister fell ill, Miao Dafu exchanged the set of carpenter's tools for money.

"Brother, since you can do it, let's buy a set of tools and do it ourselves." Miao Xiaoyan suggested.
