Chapter 912: Retaliation Against the Unknown Visitor (2)
Mo Yan and Xue tuanzi shared an understanding. Seeing that it was still thinking about flirting with girls, Mo Yan resolved to turn the rascal female; otherwise, there was no telling how many young women it might harm. This place was not as open as his previous life.
That very night, more than a dozen birds of varying sizes flew from the Mo Family toward Jing City, spying on the secret affairs within the deep courtyards of powerful families, becoming an invisible airborne intelligence network.
Gathering information from the various mansions would take some time, so Mo Yan calmly waited at home. Aside from visiting the orchard and herb field in the mornings or evenings, he spent the rest of his time at home, either reading or working. It was simply too hot outside, with no air conditioning or electric fans; just sitting would make one sweat profusely.
On the third day after the birds had flown away, Old man Ding led a group of villagers to the Mo Family to get fishing nets.
The truth was that the hot summer weather was unsuitable for fishing. For one, fish prices were not as high as in winter, and two, they were prone to dying and spoiling. But winter was far too cold, making fishing even more challenging.
With the recent lack of rain and shallow water in the ponds, it was easy to catch fish. They planned to corral the fish in Xiaoqing River with nets and raise them there, catching fresh fish in the morning to sell at the market without worrying about spoilage.
Furthermore, the Mo Family didn’t lack for money from selling fish; even if the price was lower, it didn’t matter much. If they fished in winter and the fishermen got too cold, the medicine alone could cost a fair bit.
Mo Yan had never seen fish harvesting in his previous life and thus was quite intrigued, planning to go and take a look.
Not only Tang Xin, but Xin Er and the others hadn’t seen it either. Learning that Mo Yan was going, they too put on their veiled hats and followed along.
