Chapter 56 Selling Fish

Thinking of this, Yunxi's eyes changed instantly. She knew that those landlords who did not escape did not have a good ending. It was already considered good if they survived and lived in the cowshed.

Those unlucky ones have lost their lives, their families have been destroyed, and they've finally had two years of peace. Could something have happened again?

Looking at the piles of fabric in front of them, they were all rolls, each roll being at least tens or hundreds of meters long, and in all sorts of colors.

Thinking about whether I should take this opportunity to stock up on more things if something else really happens in the future?

Even if you have to run away in the future, you have to prepare everything you need so that you won't have to worry about food and clothing even if you stay in the deep mountains and forests.

Suddenly, Yunxi felt a sense of crisis. She realized that as a peach tree spirit reborn as a human, she was definitely not as smart as others. Her only advantage was her good memory, so she was sure that reading would not be a problem.

However, she felt that she was definitely not as perceptive as other smart people. Those who were more perceptive and intelligent had already started selling off unimportant things in the countryside, so she should just follow their lead.

Anyway, she's just a country girl, so even if there are problems, they won't affect her. At worst, she can just hide in the deep mountains and forests.

If others are selling things, I can just buy them myself; I can secretly hide them in my online space and no one will notice.

I glanced at the fabric on the ground. Most of it was old rice pure cotton cloth and old cotton cloth, with a few pieces of silk mixed in occasionally.

This silk is no ordinary fabric; Yunxi only recognized it because she had seen it in town before.

Originally, a foot of cloth would cost at least 37 cents, but here the price has been reduced by 20 cents per foot. For women in the countryside, anything cheaper is a bargain, let alone a discount of more than 10 cents.

That's why there were so many people piled up at the fabric stall, and Yunxi even saw several women from the village there.

Thinking that if he bought a lot of fabric, he definitely couldn't let others find out, so he simply left the market and went to a secluded corner.

Noticing that no one was around, and looking at the large patch of wildflowers and weeds in front of her, Yunxi used her ability to extract all the essence from the flowers and plants.

All sorts of essences were mixed together and then applied to the face, instantly turning the person into a sallow-skinned girl.

Compared to her original beautiful face, she only bears a slight resemblance.

As a peach tree spirit, Yunxi handled these things with ease, as if they were second nature to her.

Thinking that there must be a lot of people at the fabric stall right now, she decided to go when there were fewer people. After all, with so much fabric, she didn't think that they could sell it all at once.

After all, behind that pile of fabric, she also saw a cart, piled high on top, even covered with an oilcloth.

If she wasn't mistaken, that pile should also contain fabric, so Yunxi wasn't in a hurry at all.

It's best to wait until they're about to leave and then buy all the remaining fabric from them.

That way, not many people will notice you.

So she decided to take this opportunity to sell as many of the fish in the space as she could.

All the fish that were taken out were already sorted. The fish that were more than half a meter long were not taken out; they were to be taken out when we went to town.

After glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, he took out five sacks from his spatial storage.

These sacks are filled to the brim with fish, weighing at least 500 to 600 jin (250-300 catties) in total.

Although she couldn't lift it herself, she could drag it. For Yunxi, who could easily lift 300 pounds, it wasn't a difficult task.

If she weren't worried about causing too much of a commotion, she would have liked to just carry it away instead of dragging it on the ground like she is now.

Yunxi didn't look for another place to set up her stall, since the entire street was already occupied by all sorts of stalls.

She went straight to the back of the fabric stall. Firstly, she could keep an eye on the people selling the fabric, and secondly, there really wasn't any other good place to set up a stall, so she might as well just set up in the back, since there was plenty of space there anyway.

If someone wants to buy fish, they probably won't mind walking a few extra steps.

Yunxi dragged five sacks of fish directly behind the cloth jar. Apart from one or two people who saw it, no one else witnessed this scene.

The one or two people who saw it stared wide-eyed and gaped, looking at Yunxi with expressions of utter disbelief.

Yunxi simply pretended not to see it. After arriving at the destination, she poured a bag of fish in front of her and said she would deal with the rest after selling them.

She wasn't going to dump all the fish out; if someone stole one or two, she'd be at a huge loss.

The two people, who were in shock, immediately came to their senses when they saw the fish that Yunxi poured out, and then ran straight to Yunxi.

"Girl, how much are your fish?"

Yunxi glanced at the two people, thinking that most fish were now 25 or 30 cents a pound, and she didn't bring a scale with her, so she could only make a rough estimate.

"Which one do you want? I didn't bring a scale with me, so I'll just give you a rough estimate of the price. If it's suitable, you can buy it; if not, then forget it."

The man buying the fish was probably in his thirties. He was surprised that this young girl was so casual in her business dealings; it was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

Without any hesitation, he rummaged through the pile of fish and finally picked up a grass carp weighing about seven or eight pounds. "I'll take this one. How much is it?"

Yunxi lifted it up and roughly estimated its weight. "Give me two yuan."

Direct, straightforward, and efficient.

He didn't seem to be willing to negotiate the price; it was only two yuan, take it or leave it.

Yunxi also looked at the man's clothes. Although they were only about 70-80% new, they didn't have a single patch, so his family must be quite well-off.

In reality, only a small number of people are willing to buy fish; most people are still a bit reluctant, since it's harder to make money in the countryside. But even if it's just a small group of people, it doesn't stop her from selling the fish.

After all, the market is a gathering place for people from all around, people with money and free time. If you don't have money or free time, you won't have the time to come to the market.

Upon hearing that it cost two yuan, the middle-aged man lifted the fish in his hand again, nodded, and expressed his agreement.

After seeing that he agreed, Yunxi casually picked up a blade of grass from the side and skewered it directly into the fish's mouth, exchanging money for goods.
