Chapter 230 No More Picking
Chapter 230 No More Picking
Ma Liu exchanged for fish, but Yue Niang was very angry.
Was she meticulously selecting the fish for Ma Liu every day, picking the best ones to sell tomorrow? Did she send all the unwanted ones to the restaurant?
What else can she use to face her own lady!
Yue Niang was so angry that her face turned pale.
Shen Yitian patted her hand comfortingly: "It's not that bad actually. The fish are just a little stale, but it doesn't affect the sales."
Because there was ice on the carriage and the fish were immediately sorted and sent to the restaurant after being salvaged, some of the fish were not dead when they were delivered, but they could not be kept and had to be cooked immediately.
Yue Niang still looked guilty: "It was my negligence. I will definitely be more careful next time."
She always felt it was her fault.
Yue Niang was still blaming herself, but Ma Liu smiled.
"See, I told you, there won't be any problem in sending that fish over."
After saying that, he stood up and said to Yue Niang, "It is only the Dragon Lady who understands the hard work we put into fishing. You see, you still have to learn from the Dragon Lady."
Seeing Yue Niang remained silent, he became even more complacent. "In my opinion, all this daily sorting is actually unnecessary. After we catch the fish, we can just weigh and load the fish onto the truck and send it over. It will save us time."
Shen Yitian nodded thoughtfully, with a faint smile on her face.
"What you said makes sense."
"Miss!" Yue Niang shouted anxiously.
"A lot of these fish are injured right after they're caught. If we don't sort them out, not only will they look bad, but when the weather gets hot, there might be a lot of dead fish!"
She has been doing this for the past few days. She can't say she completely understands it, but she has a general understanding of it.
Moreover, Shen Yitian said that fish and shrimps taste best when they are killed and cooked immediately.
Ma Liu disagreed: "Your young lady said there's no need to choose, why are you still being so stubborn? The fish was caught and delivered on the same day, so they are all equally fresh. What's the difference?"
Shen Yitian waved her hand: "Yueniang, don't say anything, you don't have to choose any of Ma Liu's fish from now on."
Yue Niang was anxious: "How can this be possible!"
Ma Liu's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear as he said hurriedly, "I knew the Dragon Queen was considerate. She's beautiful and kind-hearted. How come you, an errand boy, are even pickier than your young lady?"
Yue Niang glared at him and prepared to fight with Shen Yitian again.
But Shen Yitian patted her hands again: "Don't be anxious."
Then he said to Ma Liu, "What I mean is that from now on, as long as the fish belongs to this family, you don't have to pick them out. I won't accept any of them."
She didn't want to cooperate with someone who knew her rules but still secretly changed the fish.
"What?" Ma Liu was stunned.
Shen Yitian spoke slowly, "I'm telling you, from now on I won't take any of your fish. Do you understand?"
Her expression was still as gentle as before, with no sign of anger.
Just the words that were spoken made Ma Liu feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
After a moment, he came to his senses and begged for mercy: "Miss, Lady Dragon, Miss Shen, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Starting tomorrow, I promise not to change the fish, I definitely won't. This is what we agreed on before, how can you just say you don't want my fish?"
Shen Yi tilted her head sweetly and did not answer his question.
Yue Niang smiled and said that her young lady shouldn't be so confused.
If Yue Niang knew that the other party would change the fish, but still asked him to continue delivering them without having to pick and choose, she would start to doubt her own worldview.
Ma Liu kept begging for mercy, but Shen Yitian was not moved at all.
"If I let you continue delivering fish this time, then all the people who deliver fish in the future will secretly replace the fish. How can I continue my business?" she said indifferently.
Ma Liu said, "This is my first time committing this offense. Please give me a chance, Lady Dragon Girl. I promise I won't do it again."
He looked very panicked and kept kowtowing.
I heard that the Dragon Queen was most afraid of people performing heavy ceremonies to her. As long as he kowtowed hard enough, she would definitely forgive him.
But Shen Yitian turned around and looked at Yue Niang: "Find a few reliable men in the village and bring them to me. Those two fish delivery boys can't stay either."
Yue Niang cried out, not understanding why the servant couldn't stay either.
"The servant is always there when the fish are loaded onto the truck, and he can always change the fish. Don't you know why?" Shen Yitian asked back.
Yue Niang suddenly reacted and let out a cry.
"You even bribed them!" Yue Niang became even angrier.
Ma Liu quickly explained, "I didn't bribe him. I didn't bribe him. I just gave him some fish. I didn't bribe him with money."
He has no money either.
Shen Yitian snorted coldly and didn't intend to respond, just let him go.
"Dragon Lady, selling these fish is our family's livelihood. You can't just cut off our livelihood like this."
"It's not me who cuts off your livelihood, it's you." Shen Yitian kindly reminded.
He secretly changed the fish and tried to put the blame on her?
"I just made a small mistake, and you want to cut off our livelihood?" Ma Liu's eyes gradually became cold, staring at the other party and asked.
Shen Yitian waved her hand and asked the two guards left in the house to drag the man out.
Ma Liu's face changed, and he rushed forward with open arms to hug Shen Yitian.
"Well, if you don't let me have an easy life, then you won't have an easy life either!"
As soon as he got close, he felt a tingling sensation on his body without even touching Shen Yitian.
Shen Yitian put her hand directly against him, keeping him one meter away from her.
Ma Liu collapsed and looked at Shen Yitian in shock.
Shen Yitian slowly put the electric baton she bought from the system back into the space, waved her hand again, and the two security guards dragged Ma Liu out of the yard like a dead dog.
Yue Niang followed and kicked her: "You actually tried to offend the young lady, you really want to die."
Outside the new house, Song Xiaer had just returned from the second branch of the Song family when she saw Yue Niang's fierce look.
She pursed her lips and saw Shen Yitian standing in the house again.
The little girl's eyes turned red again in an instant, and tears were rolling in her eyes, about to fall.
Yue Niang glanced at her casually, and the little girl immediately raised her head and tried hard to hold back her tears.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yitian was still a little surprised. She remembered that the more people looked at this little girl, the harder she cried.
I don’t know what happened this time, but I actually learned to hold back my tears.
It seems that Old Lady Song Er is indeed capable, and it was a good choice to entrust this child to her.
However, she didn't say hello to Song Xiaer. She just called Fuguier out and asked him to share the things he brought back with his sister before going back to her room.
Tomorrow she has to choose someone to deliver the fish, and also select a few companies that can provide stable supply. She has a lot of things to do.
The next day, at dawn, she disguised herself and took Shengsheng out without telling anyone.
The purpose was to go to the beach and see how the fishermen spoke and acted, and try my best to remember what they looked like, in order to pick out a few with better character.
