Rebirth Daily Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 721 Bargaining Master
December 12th, New Year’s Day is approaching, but has not yet arrived.

Xue Yuantong was carrying a fishing box with cute pets printed on it that he bought from Taobao. The box contained various entry-level fishing equipment, such as telescopic fishing rods, fishing lines, small buckets, cushions, etc.

She walked briskly and was as excited as a bird. The cute fishing box swayed gently with her body.

"Jiang Ning, we will go to school for evening self-study tomorrow, and have two more days of classes on Monday and Tuesday. We will have a New Year's Eve party on Wednesday night, and then we will have three consecutive days off!"

Jiang Ning: "But after the three-day holiday, Saturday will be a day off and we have to go to evening self-study."

Xue Yuantong was originally happy, but after hearing his words, he suddenly felt very miserable.

In fact, Jiang Ning didn't know why she was suffering. She was picked up and dropped off at school every day. When she got to school, she had a chair given to her by her homeroom teacher to sit on and could play with her cell phone. It was like a dream life.

Xue Yuantong held the fishing box tightly: "Now only fishing can soothe my sorrow."

That’s right, she saw how good Jiang Ning was at fishing and she didn’t want to fall behind, so she decided to hone her skills.

It just so happened that Boss Yang contracted a fish pond, which was suitable for training.

On the way, they passed by the house of Mr. Bi, Director Bi. Bi Yue was arguing with Aunt Zhang, the wife of Butcher Zhang. Yang Fei was watching from the side, smoking gloomily.

Bi Yue claimed that his farm house business at night disturbed his old man's rest.

Yang Fei defended himself: "When we rented the house, your family didn't live here. Now I've spent so much money on renovations, and you suddenly say this."

Bi Yue: "You are not allowed to open at night, or I will report you!"

Yang Fei was helpless. Recently, he closed the shop at 8 o'clock in the evening most of the time, and only occasionally there were customers drinking and making noise. In order to avoid the noise, he specially built soundproof walls. If some customers wanted to eat outside, he built a shed to meters away from the bungalow, so the noise could actually be ignored.

Bi Yue's attitude was arrogant and aggressive.

Yang Fei had no choice but to hire Aunt Zhang for help.

Butcher Zhang goes out to earn money after slaughtering pigs every day. Aunt Zhang has nothing to do at home on weekdays, so she might as well get some money and quarrel with her enemy.

Aunt Zhang kicked the ground and yelled at the top of her voice: "I will tear your mouth apart. I will punish you for the rest of your life!"

Xue Yuantong passed by here and took a special look.

Aunt Zhang is an expert at verbal fights and can even use them as a stage to showcase her talents. Not only does she have a loud and quick tongue, she also understands music and can even add some dance moves to create an atmosphere, and she even has props.

Bi Yue couldn't stand the scolding and couldn't beat her, so he was so angry that he wanted to drive his car to kill Aunt Zhang.

……

Xue Yuantong stood by and watched for two minutes. When she saw the fighting subside, she set off again.

It was now past four in the afternoon. Xue Yuantong planned to go fishing first, and then go shopping for groceries with Chuchu when she came back.

Passing through the bare woods, the fish pond came into view. Several fishermen were holding fishing rods, sitting or standing, their shadows elongated by the setting sun, their eyes fixed on the buoy on the water.

By the pond, there was a majestic-looking Mercedes-Benz G parked, its wheels covered with mud and grass. The most amazing thing was that the open trunk was filled with neatly arranged and dazzling array of fishing equipment, which looked very professional.

A middle-aged man was sitting next to him, with a professional fishing chair under him. His equipment was completely different from Xue Yuantong's.

Xue Yuantong made a plan in advance. He put down the fishing box and laid out the cushions at a distance of seven or eight meters, the so-called golden interval.

About ten meters away to the south, Lin Zida greeted with a smile.

Not only him, Zhuang Jianhui also came, he held the fishing rod in one hand and the other hand was wrapped in a bandage, his figure exuded the feeling of "I will go even if there are thousands of people trying to catch fish".

When he noticed Jiang Ning, he also smiled to show his friendliness.

It's time to go fishing.

Jiang Ning is not fishing today. He is mainly responsible for guiding Xue Yuantong.

Xue Yuantong took out a telescopic boom, which was labeled 3 meters long online, but was actually only 2 meters long. The workmanship was also very rough and it was a rip-off. However, since he only spent 9 yuan, he didn't pursue the matter.

She sorted it out, threw it into the pond, and asked, "Is it okay, Jiang Ning?"

Jiang Ning: "Okay."

The rich uncle next to him glanced at the two-meter-long boom. Even though he was very well-mannered, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What kind of fish can you catch with a children's toy fishing rod?"

Xue Yuantong was very morally upright, and he curled his lips and said, "No, no, I was just kidding!"

Uncle Fu saw that the little girl was very modest and cute, so he gave her some advice: "You've never fished before, right? You don't even know how to make a nest."

Xue Yuantong blamed himself without hesitation: "I even used fake bait as bait."

Uncle Fu became interested and talked freely: "For fishing, baiting is still necessary. For example, I fished for crucian carp today, so I specially prepared some bait. I used ordinary crucian carp bait and fried it with rapeseed oil... It is very good for attracting crucian carp."

"Different types of fish require different types of bait," said Uncle Fu.

Xue Yuantong humbly asked: "It's so troublesome, is there any universal bait?"

Uncle Fu sneered and said something very true: "There is no perfect bait, only a perfect fisherman."

Xue Yuantong: "I understand."

Uncle Fu saw her fishing rod, which looked like a toy, and said with contempt, "So you should just fish for fun today."

He stopped talking and the atmosphere gradually became quiet.

Two minutes later.

Xue Yuantong saw the buoy sinking, so she quickly pulled the rod and yanked hard. A crucian carp the size of a palm flapped its tail and flew out of the water. Illuminated by the bright setting sun, the water splashed like pearls.

Xue Yuantong held the slippery fish body in her small hands and shouted deliberately, "It's hooked, crucian carp!"

Uncle Fu looked at him in astonishment. He was stunned for a few seconds. How could it be possible?

Jiang Ning continued to cast the spell.

Three minutes later, Xue Yuantong caught another small carp.

Xue Yuantong shouted out again deliberately.

There was still no movement from Uncle Fu.

Xue Yuantong took a break and asked innocently, "Uncle, why do you keep missing?"

Uncle Fu's face darkened and he continued fishing in silence.

Finally, after Xue Yuantong called out the name of the fish for the fifth time, Uncle Fu suddenly threw his hands to the ground, threw away the fishing rod and stool, and got into the car and left.

After watching Uncle Fu leave, Xue Yuantong asked Jiang Ning, "Will Boss Yang have one less customer in the future?"

Jiang Ning: “It’s hard to say.”

Fishing is like this. No matter what equipment you have, whoever can catch fish is the strong one. If you can’t catch fish, you are a laughing stock.

Xue Yuantong left carrying the children's equipment.

Lin Zida suddenly had a toothache: "Damn it, it's okay to be good at studying, but how come you're so good at fishing?"

……

Chuchu is out of school.

Jiang Ning and Tong Tong went to the river dam to greet her and bought some groceries along the way.

They were still on the road, and Xue Chuchu had already arrived at the river dam. There were stalls set up along the asphalt road, with a wide variety of goods.

Xue Chuchu parked her electric bike on the road and prepared to pick some vegetables to cook.

Her eyes swept across the bustling river dam and suddenly she spotted a pretty figure. The girl was young and had a great figure, but she was wearing a baseball cap, so her entire face was not very clear. However, the white chin that was exposed was also stunning.

As she was paying attention, the girl seemed to notice and also looked back.

Xue Chuchu quickly turned her head and looked at the road in the fields below. She saw Jiang Ning walking in front and Tongtong following behind him like a little tail.

Seeing this scene, Xue Chuchu couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Chu Chu, I caught a fish. We will have fish and shrimp tonight!" Xue Yuantong was very proud.

"Okay." Chu Chu found the stall selling shrimps and asked about the price of prawns.

"20 a pound."

Xue Chuchu was good at housekeeping and bargained down the price to 17 yuan, successfully buying the item.

Xue Yuantong praised: "A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength. Chuchu, you are very good."

Chuchu said that she recited poems very well, and she should not show them to outsiders in the future to avoid disaster.

The two of them walked to a fruit stall and saw that the green grapes were quite fresh. Xue Yuantong asked the proprietress how they tasted, and she asked her to try some.

Xue Yuantong washed one and ate it.

Feeling that the taste was rather ordinary, she and Chuchu left without saying a word.

The boss lady's business was not very good today. Seeing that they had eaten but had no reaction, she was in a bad mood and said sarcastically, "What do you want to buy?"

Xue Yuantong was very firm: "Just eat it!"

Just as the proprietress was about to speak, Jiang Ning approached with a knife, and the scene instantly became very harmonious.

Jiang Ning returned to the tricycle and continued to cut sugarcane.

Xue Yuantong clenched his fists and said to Chuchu in a low voice: "I am no longer the person I used to be."

Xue Chuchu was speechless.

But she did witness Tongtong's changes with her own eyes.

Children like Xue Chuchu from rural families are undoubtedly at the bottom of society. Everything they see and their parents teach them since childhood have made them obedient.

Even when faced with injustice, they would comfort themselves by saying "suffering a loss is a blessing".

But while she was still standing still, Tongtong seemed to have lived another life.

Xue Yuantong continued to stroll with Chuchu. She always liked to go to the place where rabbits were sold and stare at the cute rabbits in cages with sympathy overflowing.

At an inadvertent moment, the two met Ding Shuyan in front of a tricycle selling bed sheets and quilt covers.

Xue Yuantong said admiringly: "Chu Chu, you are really good at bargaining, you are so thrifty!"

Xue Chuchu smiled shyly.

It was an unintentional remark, but Ding Shuyan heard it.

"Oh, bargaining?" Under the shadow of the brim of her hat, Ding Shuyan's eyes showed interest.

Today, she was called by her cousin Lin Zida to go fishing at the river dam. She stayed near the fish pond for a while, then climbed up the river dam alone, admiring the scenery and wandering around the market stalls, experiencing the world with a detached attitude.

After hearing what the two girls who were very close to Jiang Ning said, Ding Shuyan suddenly wanted to give it a try as well.

After all, she is a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. No matter how she pretends to be mature, the girlish vitality deep in her heart cannot be concealed.

Ding Shuyan is extremely good at buying fruits, as if it is a natural skill. She can judge the quality of the fruits just by looking at them and touching them.

She locked onto a nearby fruit stand and moved toward it.

The boss lady had bad business today and was ridiculed again. She was very angry, but she had to put on a smile because of her livelihood.

"All fresh fruit, you see."

Ding Shuyan ignored the green grapes and turned to look at the pile of oranges. These oranges were quite good. She ran her slender white fingers over the oranges and gently picked up a plump orange.

Her beautiful hands, set against the bright orange color, are quite aesthetically pleasing.

The lady boss said at the right moment: "Three dollars and fifty cents."

Hearing this, Ding Shuyan felt curious about trying new things. It was time to use her bargaining skills!
Her voice is as rhythmic as a clear spring.

She said, "How about two?"

The proprietress was already in a bad mood. The oranges were not cheap when purchased, and the customer chopped her orange almost in half with a knife. The proprietress was furious.

She shouted, "Get lost!"

Ding Shuyan glanced at the middle-aged woman who was making a scene and walked away silently.

She walked a little further away and found that Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu were looking at her.

Ding Shuyan's mood: '…'

Even though her accomplishments far surpassed those of her peers, she still couldn't avoid having embarrassing thoughts.

She took a deep breath and thought worriedly: 'Did they hear the boss lady tell me to get out just now?'

Xue Yuantong looked at the girl in the hat and whispered, "How miserable."

Xue Chuchu: “Yeah.”

Ding Shuyan's breathing became disordered.

She walked a little further, took out her cell phone and called an uncle who worked in an official position.

Ten minutes later, a car drove up to the dam and two men got out to buy fruit.

They bought a lot, and after weighing the items, the two men took out their own scales and weighed them again. Then, they arrested the fruit seller's wife in the name of a ghost scale, and she will be fined.

Ding Shuyan watched this scene and finally felt relieved.

She happily reunited with Lin Zida and others.

……

Compared to other people on the dam who did not know the truth, Xue Yuantong, who knew the whole story, was greatly shocked.

"How amazing!" Xue Yuantong exclaimed.

Xue Chuchu said nothing and made no comment.

On the way home, Xue Yuantong told Jiang Ning about this incident. She suspected that the reason why the proprietress was arrested was because of the girl in the hat.

Jiang Ning: "Her name is Ding Shuyan."

Xue Chuchu suddenly asked: "How do you know?"

Xue Yuantong: "Yes, yes!"

Jiang Ning: "She is from the Experimental Class 1 next to us. I am also her friend. We once played Landlord and won her happy beans. Have you forgotten?"

Xue Yuantong thought about it carefully. Although she didn't quite remember the defeat, she vaguely seemed to have remembered it!

Xue Yuantong: "She is still very powerful, but... not as powerful as me."

Jiang Ning: "Of course, the fruit sellers don't dare to confront you head-on."

Xue Yuantong was delighted to hear this and decided not to exploit Chuchu in the evening. She cooked for Jiang Ning herself and prepared her favorite food.

At this time, the fish pond.

As it was getting dark, Ding Shuyan appeared behind Lin Zida and said quietly, "How many fish did you catch?"

Lin Zida: "If I catch two more, I'll have two fish."

Ding Shuyan: "Not bad."

Zhuang Jianhui reminded: "Shuyan, he was lying to you. He didn't catch any fish at all. He's not as good as the children's fishing rod."

Ding Shuyan: "I know. Don't forget, he is really good. He gave me chickens when I couldn't catch any fish."

Lin Zida almost forgot about this, and he quickly said, "Let's go, let's go, go ask Boss Yang for a free-range chicken, and we'll kill and stew it right away."

He collected his fishing rod and fishing gear, and called out to the two security guards nearby: "Brother, let's go."

On the east side of the bungalow, Xue Yuantong came to the door carrying shrimps to process them.

Bi Yue's Porsche Cayenne drove past the door and headed towards the farmhouse.
