Chapter 75: Deliberate
Sisi had wasted some time and didn't have time to go to Qin's house. She turned around and went to the restaurant. She asked Old Zhao to taste the steamed fish and fish soup.
Old Zhao tasted them one by one and nodded repeatedly. “It's pretty good. Where did you buy the fish?”
Sisi said, “I can get hundreds of catties of fish like this. Do you want them?”
“Hundreds of catties? We have a stock at the restaurant. We don't need that much. But we can take them, but the price can't be the same as the vegetable market. It needs to be the wholesale price, three and a half cents a catty.”
Sisi's heart sank. “Such a low price. It's better for me to sell it in the vegetable market.”
“Who would dare buy it?”
Sisi didn't want to be taken advantage of. “This fish has no fishy smell at all. The meat is tender and flavorful. The fragrance lingers on the tongue and is unforgettable. My cooking skills can't compare to the chefs in your restaurant. I used less seasoning. It's already so delicious. If it's cooked by a chef, it will definitely bring out the best in the fish. If you don't want it, I'll ask other restaurants. There must be someone who knows good things and will take it.” She turned to leave.
Old Zhao stopped her. “What's wrong with your temper? We can still negotiate. How much do you want to sell it for?”
“Two and a half yuan a catty. Take it or leave it. I'll slowly find buyers.” Sisi said nonchalantly.
If it wasn't for the fact that she needed to sell quickly to buy a bicycle as a dowry, she wouldn't be in a hurry.
“Two and a half yuan is too expensive. It doesn't even sell for that in the vegetable market. Besides, we usually buy ingredients below market price.”
“This fish is worth the price. You're buying fish for the taste. If you're not sure, I can bring two fish tomorrow for you to cook and let your customers try. If it's good, then buy it.”
Old Zhao thought it over and agreed.
Sisi had confidence in her heart. Her steps even became lighter as she went back home.
She entered the courtyard.
Song Hanmei's questioning voice came from inside. “Did you take the Moutai at home?”
“What Moutai?” Sisi played dumb.
“The Moutai I put in the cupboard, didn't you take it?” Song Hanmei was furious.
Thief!
Sisi asserted, “I didn't take it.”
Li Yuwei rushed out. “Whoever took it is a dog.”
“Go ahead and scold me. I have a clear conscience, so I'm not afraid.” Sisi said.
If curses could come true, you would have been cursed to death a long time ago.
Seeing this, Li Junlu acted as a peacemaker. “Yuwei, Sisi is your sister. She said it's gone. Why are you still suspecting her? Maybe it was an outsider who came to our house and stole it. If it's lost, it's lost. Next time there are good things, keep them locked up tighter.”
“It cost a lot of money.” Song Hanmei was heartbroken.
She had two bottles in total. One bottle was opened, and one bottle was stolen.
What a bad day.
No, it's been a bad time.
This afternoon, she had gone to Qin's house.
She found out that Sisi did go to their house on the first day of the new year, and she received a red envelope from father Qin that day.
Lu Yuechun told her in private that Sisi had received at least forty or fifty yuan from father Qin.
This little bitch, she has money, but she's unwilling to spend a penny on them.
And that Qin Yanci, he was so generous when he came during the New Year. He only brought two boxes of cakes this time.
She has never seen such stinginess.
“No matter how much money it is, I didn't steal it.” Sisi went back to her room.
In the evening, she reheated the rest of the fish soup and the steamed fish and ate it. Then she prepared her fishing gear and fishing net.
Li Junlu got up in the middle of the night and saw that her room was lit. He knocked on her door. “Sisi, aren't you asleep yet? Are you tired from fooling around with that boy from the Qin family?” He felt a little embarrassed to say it, but he felt he needed to remind her. “A girl should be more reserved.”
