Chapter 171 -171 Buy Fish

The sooner I make the pickled fish sauce,

the sooner I can take it to the taverns at the market to sell.

With the money earned,

I’ll be able to redeem my elder brother’s indenture contract.

Today, Su Yunjin planned to visit the fish pond in Qin family’s village that her second sister had mentioned.

“Second sister, after you’ve had lunch, accompany me to Lady Qin’s fish pond to take a look!” If it’s suitable, she would buy the fish directly from Lady Qin’s fish pond.

When Su Yunjin appeared determined to buy fish, Mrs. Shen couldn’t help but say, “Yunjīn, do you really intend to buy fish from Lady Qin’s fish pond?”

“Yunjīn, if you need fish, Dad can go to the river and catch some for you, so why spend that extra money? You and your husband are not exactly rolling in money, so you’d better save it for when you need it,” Su Zhongshi thought, feeling that relying on fish wouldn’t solve the problem. Fish weren’t valuable, and besides, his daughter wasn’t catching fish to sell; she was buying other people’s fish—which wasn’t making money at all.

It was clearly just spending money!

Second sister, Su Ningxiu, was equally clueless about what Su Yunjin was planning. “Little sister, Dad is right, if you want fish, he and I can go to the river and catch them for you! Better not to buy. Besides, how much could common fish possibly be worth?”

Although Su Ningxiu also wanted to find a way to redeem their elder brother, Su Muze, as soon as possible, the method her little sister spoke of seemed to Su Ningxiu to be unfeasible from the get-go. She feared they wouldn’t make any money, but worse, they’d end up spending what little they had.

“Mom, Dad, second sister, the method I’ve thought of will definitely make money, believe me!” Su Yunjin was utterly convinced! Even if she wouldn’t make a fortune selling pickled fish sauce at the market, she was absolutely certain she wouldn’t lose money.

She still possessed that much confidence.

Somehow, the certainty on Su Yunjin’s face made Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi start to believe what she was saying.

Su Yunjin knew her parents thought she could just catch fish from the river without having to spend money buying them, so she further explained: “Mom, Dad, although you can catch fish, and the village has many rivers, I need quite a large number of fish, and not the big ones, but the small ones!”

Like the kind found in rice paddies.

To make pickled fish sauce, those small fish were best, as the sauce made from them would have the right flavor and freshness. If she used big fish, the resulting sauce wouldn’t taste as good as the one made from tender, small fish.

Since she was doing this, Su Yunjin certainly aimed to make the flavor as delicious as possible. If it tasted good, she would have more confidence selling it to the taverns at the market.

The more delicious it was, the more money she could make.

“What? Yunjīn, you mean you need a lot of fish?” When Su Yunjin said her money-making method involved fish, Mrs. Shen and the others were baffled, and Su Yunjin’s words only deepened their confusion.

“That’s right!” Su Yunjin nodded, telling her parents, “I need about twenty to thirty catties to be sufficient!” To make money, making too little wouldn’t do, but if she made too much the very first time, Su Yunjin couldn’t be completely certain that she could sell the pickled fish sauce before having tried, nor if it would indeed be profitable. What if it couldn’t make any money?

By making a smaller amount, she could ensure she wouldn’t lose money.

So, she decided on a middle ground and would start by making about twenty to thirty catties.

“Little sister, isn’t that a lot of fish? Maybe too much?” Su Ningxiu asked.
