“I had the same idea, so I didn’t say anything when he wanted me to stay. Oh, what do you think about matchmaking Xiao Zheng and Xiaxiang?” Gu Chengrui asked.
“At the very least, one of them must have the intention. Otherwise, if we force them, it would be troublesome for them to join forces to deal with us.” Zhou Ying replied.
“Let’s wait and see. I’m really annoyed with Xiao Zheng. He’s always looking for something to talk to me about, and he’s like a sticky candy that I can’t get rid of no matter how hard I try.”
“Why don’t you try to get him to talk and reveal more information?”
“He doesn’t have that much value, and I’m too lazy to spend that effort.” When Gu Chengrui said this, he paused and added, “Oh right, the Liu and Yao families’ greenhouse vegetables should be ready in half a month.
“They want to sell their vegetables through our connections. What do you think?”
“Sure, it’s just a matter of connecting them. Anyway, the restaurant has opened up, and we won’t be selling vegetables anymore.”
“Alright, I’ll help them pull the strings.”
In the afternoon, after dinner, Zhou Ying asked for a fishing net with a pole from Head Fang. Then, she took Shizhu to the river to catch some fish.
When they reached the riverside, Shizhu walked back and forth and said, “Mistress, there are not as many fish here as there are in the manor over there.”
“There are a lot of people here, and there aren’t many people around there. Naturally, there’s more fish there.” As Zhou Ying said this, she threw the fishing net to her and said, “Why don’t you give it a try?”
“Alright.” Shizhu took the fishing net and excitedly started to get to work by the river.
As for Zhou Ying, she walked around the vicinity. Because there were paddy fields nearby, she soon found a lot of eels and loaches.
She took a bucket and searched for the eels with her divine senses, and she soon caught half a bucket in a short while.
By the time she returned, Shizhu had already caught three small fish the size of her palm.
When she saw Zhou Ying coming over, she smiled awkwardly and said, “Mistress, I’m afraid we won’t be able to eat fish for dinner tonight. The fish here are too small.”
“Is that so? Let me try.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took over the fishing net. However, she did not throw it out immediately and instead took a flour cake from her pocket and fixed it to the net with a rope.
When Shizhu saw this, she said sadly, “Mistress, you’re cheating.”
“This is common sense. This isn’t a pond, so how can you catch fish without bait?” Zhou Ying shook her head.
After that, she ignored her and scanned the water with her divine sense. In a short while, there were fish that smelled the bait and swam over. Zhou Ying immediately caught two big fish and a few small fish in her fishing net.
As soon as the fish entered, Zhou Ying quickly shook the net. When the fish fainted, she promptly pulled them out of the water.
She did not expect one of the big fish to run away still, leaving only the silver carp, which she wasn’t a fan of.
However, Shizhu still exclaimed, “Wow, Mistress, you’re really amazing!”
“Here, give it a try yourself.”
“Sure,” Shizhu responded, immediately throwing the caught fish in a bucket. She picked up the net again and threw it into the river.
At this time, Zhou Ying saw a black fish weighing four to five pounds swim past and used her divine senses to chase it into the net.
After Shizhu felt the weight in the net, she immediately pulled it up.
The fish was about to escape, so Zhou Ying had to use her divine sense to attack it. The black fish rolled twice, and by the time it reacted, it had already come ashore.
“What a big fish! No wonder the net was so heavy.” Shizhu exclaimed and immediately put the fish into the bucket.
“Alright, it’s enough for dinner tonight. Let’s go back.” Zhou Ying concluded and picked up the bucket, returning to where they came from.
Shizhu immediately carried the net and followed happily..
