SIAS Chapter 136.2

Hu Wa thought that he was being very secretive, but how could he possibly hide it?

There were so many children here. It might be okay if it happened once or twice, but if it happened too often, they would definitely be discovered.

It was better to be generous. After all, they did not do anything wrong. Any other villager would think that exchanging raw loaches for fried loach strips or candy was a great deal.

All she had to do was to avoid the possibility that some adults would feel that it was profitable and come to her to sell loaches at the same price.

After all, she just wanted to get some for herself and give these cute and sensible children a little sweetness, not to make a loss in loach wholesale.

Compared with trading with villagers, she still liked to get along with these children.

Moreover, she is kind to children and has some sense, and the parents with a conscience will be kind and grateful to her.

As for those who have no conscience, there is no need to expect to gain their favor. Small favors are useless, and they need to bleed people hard. Although Yi Qingqing is generous, she is not the kind of sucker.

Hu Wa was worried that by the time everyone knew that loaches were delicious, it would be possible for all the loaches in the reed to be snatched away.

In the eyes of children, the loaches that were easy to get were especially delicious when cooked this way. Once others learned it, it would not be their turn.

But when someone comes to ask her how she makes it, they’ll find out that it’s delicious because of the sufficient ingredients and the delicate processing.

Perhaps this processing method can make the loaches made by everyone taste better in the future, but it is also very expensive to reach her level. She is afraid that there are not many families in the village who have the ability and are willing to do so.

If you only learn her processing method and then use the common stewing method with less oil, the product may not be bitter, but it will not have any oil at all.

It is not even as delicious as stewed fish.

It takes so much time to process the loach. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to use this time to catch two fish?

There is still a lot of meat on fish!

There is also no shortage of fish on the river and in the reeds.

Otherwise, why do people say that Xiangshui Village is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers?

“Did it take a lot of oil to make it so delicious? Aren’t you losing money?” Hu Wa asked after hearing this.

Yi Qingqing shook her head: “What I gave you is only a part of the loaches you brought over yesterday. The rest is my reward. I think it’s worth exchanging with you, so it’s not a loss.”

Hu Wa glanced at her and wanted to say something, but when he looked at the loach in his hand and his friends drooling, he did not refuse.

“Okay, let’s continue our deal. We don’t want candy anymore. I’ll bring you another big bucket this evening. You just need to give us this amount of loach strips. You can come to me next time you want more.”

“Deal.”

Yiqingqing and Hu Wa clapped their hands and swore, and the agreement was reached.

“Okay, you guys have fun by yourselves. I’m going to the mountain to collect firewood.” Yi Qingqing said as she carried the backpack back.

“Sister Qingqing, goodbye!”

“Goodbye!”

Yi Qingqing didn’t look back but just waved at them.

 

*****

The author has something to say:

—Sugar-Sprinkling Little Theater—

Yun Guyuan: I’m cheap, and I can praise my wife to the sky. Why does my wife choose this group of little ones instead of me?

Yi Qingqing: You don’t understand the cuteness of human cubs, and you don’t understand the cuteness of well-behaved human cubs even more.

Yun Guyuan: I can also be a cub. (*╹▽╹*)

Yi Qingqing: …
