Chi Zhiyong looked at the waterwheel slowly entering Chang 'an City. His hands and feet were cold. Because the cover of the waterwheel was not covered, he could clearly see the fish jumping inside.
"Captain, do you want to do it?" The deputy urged in a low voice.
Chi Zhiyong felt cold from head to toe. Why should he take action? These waterwheels were obviously those used to put out fires in Chang 'an. Even if he got them, they would be of no use except for a load of fish. Besides, he would lose his position as a captain for no reason.
"Hum!" Chi Zhiyong was shocked by a muffled snort.
But he found that a young man like an iron tower was staring at him fiercely. He felt suffocated by the fierce atmosphere. Chi Zhiyong thought he was brave, but he found that if he fought with this young man, his chance of survival was almost zero.
This was the threat of Village Mo.
"Tie An, let's go! He's just a clown! "Meton didn't even look at Chi Zhiyong and led Tie An into Chang 'an City.
Chi Zhiyong didn't recover from the oppression of Tie An's momentum until Tie An disappeared behind the city gate.
"You won't be complacent for long!" Chi Zhiyong's face turned red instantly, full of shame and anger.
Alas! The people at the city gate were disappointed. They thought it would be another fierce fight, but it turned out to be a trick.
Village Mo dug a pond outside the south city gate as a transfer station for the live fish. The south city gate was only one mile away from the fish market, which didn't affect the live fish at all. Although it took a lot of effort, it completely cut off the possibility of the secret being leaked.
Now the city gate was no longer a problem for Village Mo. The problem was completely solved in just one hundred steps. Chi Zhiyong was too far away to do anything.
"It seems that Village Mo is not easy to deal with!" Many people thought.
"However, Chi Zhiyong is going to be in trouble. If the secret skill of living fish of Village Mo doesn't pass through the South City Gate, then he will be useless as the City Gate Officer. Let's see whether he can withstand the counterattack of Village Mo." Someone looked at Chi Zhiyong maliciously.
Chi Zhiyong obviously knew his situation. He hated in his heart, "I was so close!"
The first time, he was caught off guard and was defeated by Meton. Originally, he thought that this time he would not give any chance to the people of the Mo's Village, but he did not expect that the people of the Mo's Village would be even more ruthless, directly eliminating the possibility of Chi Zhiyong's help.
"Ai!" Chi Zhiyong was so regretful that his intestines turned green. Offending the founding county count of the empire was not something a mere lieutenant like him could bear.
Mo Family's fresh fish shop.
A pond had already been dug in the backyard of the fresh fish store.
The pond was one meter deep. The bottom and sides of the pond were paved with green bricks and filled with clear water. The water was so clear that one could see the bottom. Twenty carts of fish were placed in the pond. From the shore, one could clearly see the fish swimming in the water.
"The Mo Family's live fish has been upgraded. All the live fish are available for you to pick and choose. The supply is uninterrupted throughout the day," the master fish shouted in a practiced manner.
"They really sell fish all day long!" Shopkeeper Pan couldn't believe it.
A few days ago, the Mo Family would immediately pack up and leave after noon, regardless of whether the live fish were sold out or not. It was still okay to buy fish at noon, but it was impossible to eat live fish at night.
The business of the restaurant was the best at night. If the Pan Family's restaurant could provide live fish all day long, the business of the Pan Family's restaurant would be even better.
"Of course, this is only the first batch of live fish in the Mo Family's village. There are two caravans in the Mo Family's village, and each caravan has to make two trips. That is to say, there are still 60 carts of live fish to be transported to Chang 'an City. There will be 40 carts in the morning and 40 carts in the afternoon. I guarantee that there will be enough live fish. "Meton stepped forward and promised loudly to the people selling fish.
"That's great!" The crowd cheered. Most of these people were the shopkeepers of the restaurant, and they were all big fish buyers. One must know that there were no refrigerators in this era. The quality of the fish would be greatly improved if they could buy fish in the afternoon.
"Please buy as much as you want. Don't be discouraged if you can't buy any. There will be another batch of live fish in the Mo Family's village before noon," Meton said with a smile.
"I want five!"
"I want ten!"
"I want two!"
…
When the Mo Family's village started to provide live fish, the people who wanted to buy fish didn't rush to buy it. The whole business was in order. People pointed at the fish in the pond from time to time, and asked the villagers to fish it out.
It was really a novel feeling to have so many live fish to choose from. One person spread the news to ten, and ten to a hundred, and the fresh fish shop became more and more crowded.
The live fish in the Mo Family's village were getting less and less, and it would not last long.
"The second batch of live fish is here!" Uncle Fu shouted in surprise.
"That was close!"
Meton heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he made it in time. Otherwise, the supply would really be cut off.
With the supply of live fish, the Mo Family's village's first show after the upgrade was perfect.
"It's finally over!"
When the last customer left and the door of the fresh fish shop was closed, the villagers of the Mo Family heaved a sigh of relief.
The villagers of the Mo Family's village were exhausted after selling fish for a whole day. When they were busy, even Meton came forward to help.
However, although it was a bit tiring, the villagers of the Mo Family's village didn't complain when they saw the piles of money. It didn't matter if they were tired. As long as they were tired, the Mo Family's village would become rich. Didn't they see that the young master also worked with them?
The Wang Family's Fish Shop!
"Bang!" Shopkeeper Wang smashed his favorite porcelain into pieces angrily.
"How dare Chi Zhiyong come to me! He failed to do what I asked him to do, and he even acted rashly and alerted the enemy. Tell Chi Zhiyong to stay away from me and keep his mouth shut. If he dares to talk nonsense, I will make him pay for it! "Shopkeeper Wang said angrily.
"Yes!"
A waiter of the Wang Family left in a hurry.
Looking at the angry Shopkeeper Wang, Accountant Zhang shook his head and smiled bitterly. This time, Chi Zhiyong failed to do what he asked, and he alerted the enemy immediately. Therefore, the fish caravans of the Mo Family's village no longer passed through the city gate. It was impossible to get the secret skill of live fish in the Mo Family's village.
"Accountant Zhang, how is our fish shop today?" Shopkeeper Wang asked.
"Shopkeeper Wang, there is no change in the sales of dead fish, but the sales of live fish have declined seriously. Some restaurants are buying the live fish of the Mo Family." Accountant Zhang said.
Shopkeeper Wang said angrily, "These ungrateful villains, they begged me to buy the live fish, but now they abandoned us in the blink of an eye."
Shopkeeper Wang was in charge of the largest live fish market in Chang 'an City. In order to get the live fish, he had troubled those shopkeepers many times. Now, the tables had turned. The shopkeepers of the restaurants who had other choices abandoned the Wang Family's fish shop at once.
"The rest of the restaurants have also sent a message, saying that their customers all want to eat the live fish transported by the secret skill of the Mo Family's village. If you don't find a way, the rest of the restaurants will turn to the fish shop of the Mo Family's village." Accountant Zhang said bitterly.
"Bang!" Another porcelain was smashed in the hands of Shopkeeper Wang.
