Chapter 54: Roadside Stalls

Xiao Xi saw a lot of furniture brought back by Ah Ghost and shouted, "Ah Ghost, where did you get these new furniture?"

"I made it myself" A ghost's voice came from the house, and Xiao Xi looked at the new furniture with a burst of joy. Then I happily went to prepare dinner.

The next day, Xiaoxi got up very early, earlier than Ah Ghost. A ghost said incomprehensibly, "Xiaoxi, why did you get up so early today?"

"Aren't you going into the city today to sell fish?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I couldn't sleep a little, so I got up"

In the end, Ah Ghost had no choice but to follow,

"Ghost, do we need to bring something?"

"No, I'll prepare, you can take a small wooden barrel and fill it with 10 fish, but remember, the fish must be alive."

"Ah, why only 10 fish, and they have to be alive"

"Hehe, bring 10 fish just to try your hand and see if it sells well, the taste of live fish is the best, understand" Ah Ghost patiently explained.

After breakfast, Ah Ghost made all the preparations and put all the items in the space ring. This Xiaoxi also prepared the fish.

"Let's go," the ghost began

Xiao Xi looked at the empty-handed ghost and said, "Ghost, why didn't you bring anything, are we going to sell fish?"

"Don't worry, I'm ready, you'll know when the time comes" Then Ah Ghost took Xiao Xi and Xiao Ming and set off.

Yulong Village is ten miles away from Huaiyang City, and it takes an hour to reach it with the footsteps of ordinary people, because Ah Ghost and Xiao Xi set off early, so when they came to the south gate of Huaiyang City, the sun just rose, Ah Ghost stopped, looked at the town surrounded by the huge city wall, and felt some emotion. There is also a moat several meters wide outside the city walls. Ah Ghost looked at the big characters on the city wall and said, "Is this Huaiyang City?"

"Well, it's bigger inside, I've never traveled all over the city," Xiao Xi said on the side

"yes, it looks pretty big"

"Then let's go in"

Ah Ghost was still standing in place, and Xiao Xi said again, "Ah Ghost, let's go in"

"No, we're not going in"

"Ah, why? Why don't we go in and how can we buy fish?"

Ah Ghost looked around, and finally came to a large tree not far from the city gate. Xiao Xi said, "Ghost, you don't want to sell fish here, do you?"

"Well, the environment here is not bad, I'm going to sell it here"

"Huh? Why?"

"Then do you know where you can set up a stall in the city? The people in the city government don't care about the stalls? Do we need to pay some fees in the city? Do we have money?" A series of questions from the ghost knocked Xiao Xi down, Xiao Xi had never thought about these questions, and he didn't know how to answer them for a while.

Ah Ghost took off the wooden bucket on Xiao Xi's back and put it on the ground, and then took out all the things from the space ring, Xiao Xi looked at the various furniture that was constantly conjured up in Ah Ghost's hands, including tables, chairs, knife boards, kitchen knives, charcoal, etc., and was dumbfounded for a while. Xiao Ming said, "Brother Ghost, you can do tricks," Ah Ghost gently touched Xiao Ming's head and said, "Yes, Brother Ghost can do tricks, you go and play first." Xiao Xi replied to the gods, "Ghost, how did you come here?"

Ah Ghost smiled mysteriously and said, "Secret."

At this time, someone passed by, looked at Ah Ghost and them strangely, and finally when he saw the scar on Ah Ghost's face, he was startled, and then walked away quickly. Ah Ghost looked at the person who was leaving, thoughtful, and then took out a black cloth and gently covered his face, revealing only two eyes. Xiaoxi saw Ah Ghost's movements and said, "Ah Ghost, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, my face will scare others, so that it won't affect the sale of fish," Then Ah Ghost began to slowly cut the fish, the sun gradually rose, and the number of people in and out of the city continued to increase, but most of them just looked at it and left, Xiao Xi asked a little puzzled, "Ah Ghost, why did they just look at it a few times and leave"

"It's okay, come here, I'll teach you how to do it" Ah Ghost whispered a few words in Xiao Xi's ear, Xiao Xi's face showed embarrassment, but in the end he nodded gently.

At this time, Ah Guiyi finished preparing and began to grill the fish, and soon the aroma of the grilled fish began to spread around. Xiao Xi walked to the side of the road and shouted softly, "Sell grilled fish, unique grilled fish" Xiao Xi's voice was a little soft, and Ah Ghost said, "Xiao Xi, be louder, don't be afraid." Xiao Xi looked at Ah Ghost, and finally raised his voice and shouted, "Selling grilled fish, a unique secret grilled fish, everyone come and try it"

I don't know if it was Xiaoxi's shout or the aroma of grilled fish, but soon a passerby came over and asked, "What are you?"

"This is grilled fish, a unique grilled fish," Xiaoxi said

"How to sell this"

"Well, a string of ten copper coins" Xiao Xi said with a little weakness, this is the price that Ah Ghost told her, she is afraid that it is a little high.

"Ah, it's so expensive" The passer-by asked a few words and was about to leave, at this time Ah Ghost hurriedly said, "Big brother, don't be in a hurry to go, try it first,"

"But it's a bit expensive."

"That's it, you taste it first, if you think the taste is average, then this string is considered to be given to you, but if you think the taste is okay, then you can buy it again, how about it?"

The passer-by hesitated for a moment, but finally took it, tasted it lightly and said, "Well, the taste is so unique, I have never eaten fish like this," and soon a string of fish fillets was eaten.

A ghost said, "Big brother, how is it?

Passers-by said, "Very good, bring me five more strings"

"Okay, wait a minute, Xiao Xi, please sit down" Xiao Xi hurriedly invited people to sit down at the table next to them, a good start is equal to half the success. Due to the satisfaction of the first guest, many people soon came, and the first guest kept complimenting the good taste of the fish, and soon the two tables were full. Before the two hours came, the fish they had brought were sold out. There are also some guests who haven't eaten it and want to buy more, but in the end, Xiaoxi can only shake her head helplessly and say, "I'm sorry, today's fish has been sold out."

Ah Ghost put down the work in his hand and said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, we have sold out of fish today, if you still want to eat, we will set up a stall here at the same time tomorrow, I hope you can cheer more"

A passer-by said helplessly, "Hey, I've only eaten five skewers, it's too little." I'll definitely have a few more strings tomorrow."

Passerby B said, "It's not enough for you to eat five skewers, I only ate three skewers"

A ghost said, "We must bring some fish tomorrow, okay?"

Everyone reluctantly left the table, and Ah Ghost cleaned up everything and said, "Xiaoxi, how much did you gain today?"

Xiao Xi happily took out a lot of copper coins and said, "Look, there are a lot, I didn't have time to count them in a hurry,"

Ah Ghost said, "You don't need to count, a fish makes about 50 strings, and if you have 10 fish, it is 500 strings, and a string of 10 copper coins is about five taels of silver."

Xiaoxi counted it carefully, and the result was really five taels of silver, and said in surprise, "Ghost, how can you calculate so accurately?"

Ah Ghost laughed twice, then put away all his things and said, "Okay, let's go back, it's almost time for lunch when we get home." Xiao Xi carefully put away the silver and said, "Ah ghost, isn't this silver too easy to earn, this day has earned me nearly half a year's silver, and we only use 10 fish, I used to sell a fish for 50 copper coins, now we can sell a fish for 500 copper coins"

"Hehe," Ah Ghost just laughed a few times and didn't speak.
