After the incident at the city gate, the villagers of the Mo Family realized that their Secret Skill of Live Fish had been coveted by someone in Chang 'an.
After returning from Chang 'an, the villagers of the Mo Family gathered in the Mo Mansion to discuss countermeasures.
"Chi Zhiyong is a dog official. He wants our Secret Skill of Live Fish. Does he want to die?" Li Xin roared angrily.
Li Yi shook his head and said, "Chi Zhiyong is nothing. Normally, he wouldn't dare to offend us. But this time, there is a mastermind behind it."
"Don't let me know who it is. How dare he covet our Mo Family's Secret Skill? I'll kill him." Yu Er also said angrily.
"Who do you want to be?" Master Yu patted heavily on Li Xin's head and said, "If we have to risk our lives, it should be us, not you."
Now, not only the hot-blooded young men of the Mo Family's Village were filled with righteous indignation, but also the old men of the Mo Family's Village, as if they had returned to the time when they were fighting on the battlefield.
And these old men knew how precious the Secret Skill of Live Fish was. It was related to the fate of five thousand people in the Mo Family's Village. Now someone was going to touch the lifeblood of the Mo Family's Village. How could the villagers of the Mo Family not risk their lives?
"In my opinion, let's kill Chi Zhiyong first. We won't lose anything if we kill him." A young man who was as strong as an iron tower said. He was Tie An, the ultimate warrior of the Mo Family's Village.
Last winter, Tie An killed a bear all by himself and got an intact bearskin without xun. He sold it at a high price and helped the Mo's Village survive the crisis. He was invincible in martial arts, but he was a little slow in thinking.
"Don't rush to deal with Chi Zhiyong!" Meton waved his hand and said, "He will give himself away sooner or later and expose the people behind him. We are not in a hurry now. As long as we have the Secret Skill of Live Fish, these people will take action sooner or later. At that time, no one can escape. "
All the people nodded. Chi Zhiyong was nothing, but the people behind him were more important.
"From tomorrow on, increase the supply of live fish to Chang 'an. The fish pond of the fresh fish shop has been dug. Put all the 20 water carts in reserve into use. All the water carts will be divided into two teams to continuously transport fish to Chang' an.
"I want to sell live fish in Chang 'an all day long!" Meton said seriously.
"But our fish pond won't last for more than a few days. We'll run out of fish," Master Yu said with a frown.
"If we don't have any fish, we'll buy them. There are so many villages in Chang 'an. Their fish will be dead even if they are transported to Chang' an. So, we'll buy them at a price 30% higher than the dead fish."
"That will do!" Li Yi nodded. Even if the price was 30% higher, the Village Mo would still make a lot of money, because the price of live fish was three times higher than that of dead fish.
"If you don't have fish, you can buy them. If you don't have enough manpower, you can continue to recruit people. In short, I want the Mo Family Village to provide live fish continuously before the Spring Festival. I'm going to leave 50 brothers who have performed well in Chang 'an this time." Merton said.
"Stay in Chang 'an!" Li Xin and the others were pleasantly surprised.
For them, staying in Chang 'an was a dream. Since they had seen the prosperity of Chang' an, they yearned for Chang 'an even more. But they went back in a hurry after selling the fish, so they didn't have a chance to wander around Chang' an.
"And I'll also stay in Chang 'an. This time, I want to see who wants to hurt our Village Mo!" Meton said with a piercing look.
"Young Master, you can't do that. It's too dangerous. You can't risk your life." The others tried to dissuade him.
"Don't worry. I'll let Tie An follow me this time. It'll be fine." Merton said.
"Young Master, don't worry. As long as I'm still alive, I won't let you get hurt." Tie An was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would be the first one to get such a good thing. So, he promised at once.
The others still wanted to dissuade him. But when they thought of Tie An's horrible fighting skills, they were relieved.
After the discussion, they started to act separately.
This time, the team of the Village Mo's Village was recruiting more than 200 people, not to mention that they had to buy fish from the neighboring villages and ensure the safety of the secret skill of live fish in the Village Mo's Village. It was enough for Li Yi and the others to work hard.
One night passed. When Meton saw Li Yi's red eyes, he knew that Li Yi didn't sleep at all. He felt very guilty.
"Second Uncle, you'd better have a rest. It's not worth it if you're tired out." Meton said with concern.
"Young Master, don't worry. I'm in good health. And I have to contact the neighboring villages. I'll go there! "Li Yi said.
Under Meton's insistence, Li Yi finally got on the ox cart that Meton usually didn't take. And Meton followed the caravan with big strides.
"Maybe it's time to buy some cows and horses." Meton said in his heart.
Meton had thought of buying some cows and horses before, but he was rejected by Uncle Fu and the others. After all, what the Village Mo lacked most now was food. If the Village Mo didn't fill up the granary, they wouldn't consider other projects that would cost extra money.
"The first batch will set off. The second batch will set off in two hours." Under Li Yi's order, the caravan of the Village Mo set off again. But this time, the scale was bigger.
"The Village Mo is coming!" When the caravan of the Village Mo arrived at Chang 'an again, it immediately caused a sensation at the South Gate of Chang' an. After all, the story of the Village Mo confronting Chi Zhiyong and the Catfish Effect yesterday was so exciting.
"Look, they said they were the descendants of the Mo family."
"Since Mo Zi has kept his promise for thousands of years, the Village Mo must be good."
"It's not bad. Let me tell you, I've bought fish from the Village Mo before. It's always good."
…
The crowd was talking about it, which made the villagers of the Village Mo feel proud and elated.
But the crowd was more curious about how the Village Mo passed the South Gate today, because the guard of the South Gate was still Chi Zhiyong.
Chi Zhiyong hated it in his heart. The Village Mo's betrayal yesterday destroyed the secret of the Village Mo, so he didn't have any evidence against them. Because of this, he lost face in front of the big shots. If he wasn't still useful, he would have been abandoned long ago.
Today, Chi Zhiyong made up his mind that once the caravan of the Village Mo's entered the South Gate, he wouldn't give the villagers any time to react. He would seize a waterwheel immediately. He had already prepared a backup plan, even at the cost of his life, because the big shots would protect him.
However, to everyone's surprise, the caravan of the Village Mo's did not enter the South Gate at all. Instead, they stopped 100 meters away from the South Gate, poured all the fish in the waterwheel into a fish pond that was as big as two rooms, and then went back without looking back.
Then, Uncle Fu came out of Chang 'an with 20 waterwheels unhurriedly, scooped up the fish in the fish pond and packed them.
