The Transmigrated Life of a Salty Fish Family

Chapter 904 We're heading to the capital! So happy!

Yan Yu bought peaches from a family that grew peach trees in a nearby village.

Take it back for her father to eat.

This ordeal has been averted.

There were many peaches bought, so everyone got some. Yan Yu ate them too, one after another.

It's a bit sour, but mostly sweet, and it's very thirst-quenching.

"Can't find anything, huh?" Yan Yu tossed a peach to Uncle Sun and asked casually.

Sun Erdan gathered up the bodies of the men in black and examined each one.

I'm trying to find something that can reveal their identities.

I searched high and low but couldn't find it.

I did manage to find quite a few money bags.

Although it contained only loose change, it still amounted to a considerable sum when put together.

That makes sense. When you're out doing such dangerous work, you can't carry too much money with you.

Sun Erdan handed the money bag to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu didn't take it. "My uncles and brothers have worked hard with my father. This is not much. If we share it, we can at least have some meat and vegetables. Later, I'll ask my father to mention it to the Prince. Our Guanzhou order must be implemented in the capital. I'll ask the Prince to reward us with money for each head. The heads of the barbarian rebels are worth one tael. People in the capital are precious. How can the price not be raised?"

After today, Yan Yu realized that the dangers of the capital were no less than those of the border.

As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.

The danger lurking in the shadows is far greater than any open, direct confrontation.

Sun Erdan chuckled and said, "I heard from Brother Yan that when the Crown Princess came to our village to deliver pork, she bought out all the meat stalls in Yongning City. The carts carrying the meat could stretch from the east end of the village to the west end. She even gave two taels of silver per person. Is this true?"

Yan Yu understood the meaning behind Uncle Sun's words.

He chuckled and said, "More real than real gold. What's wrong, Uncle Sun? You're satisfied with two taels of silver for a single head?"

Sun Erdan chuckled, "Isn't it because our Prince is short on funds?"

Yan Yu suppressed a laugh; the prince's poverty was common knowledge.

Yan Lao Er poked his head out of the kitchen, holding a spoon.

With a beaming face, he happily shouted, "Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!"

He then winked at the group of men, "Waiter, come quick! Dad has taken all the roe out of this big carp. Your Uncle Sun and the others don't like to eat this, so it's all yours."

Sun Erdan and the others chimed in, "That's right, we don't like that, give it all to Xiao Er."

Yan Yu understood that it wasn't necessarily that her uncles and brothers disliked her, but rather that they were being accommodating to her.

It's because she's young.

In Xiao'an Village, every family spoils their children, not just their own, but all the children in the village.

Yan Yu enjoys the feeling of being pampered by her elders.

I feel so happy~
Yan Lao Er bought the fish early in the morning. They were all big carp. He only picked the females, with fry, because his children love to eat them. When he bought them, he also bought the fish tanks that were used to hold the fish. After they were transported to the village, he changed the water every day to keep them alive.

The daughter led a group of people to chase down the men in black, and none of them escaped. Their bodies were brought back one after another.

Yan Lao Er automatically took care of the logistics.

Light the fire in the stove and start cooking the rice.

Kill the fish, remove the scales, clean out the belly, wash the roe and set it aside. When the big carp are ready to be cooked, stuff the roe into the corners and make sure they are all submerged in water.

Braised, it must be braised.

There is no bland taste in Xiao'an Village.

Two large pots of braised fish were served with white rice, and everyone ate with great relish. Even more sought-after than the fish meat was the fish head.

The uncles' chopsticks were practically clashing together, a sight that dazzled the eyes.

Yan Yu picked out all the garlic cloves from the fish soup and ate them. She then poured the fish soup into her rice bowl and ate it with the rice, until she was about 70-80% full.

There was no other way; we had to rush to get there, and then we turned on the gas as soon as we arrived, so the amount of exercise was quite high.

The people who know their children best are always their parents.

When Yan Lao Er saw that his daughter hadn't eaten enough, he was about to cook some more noodles.

"Father, Father, don't bother. Let's head back to the Prince's Mansion now. By the time we get there, it will be almost time for dinner."

Yan Yu was looking forward to having dinner at the Prince's Mansion. She had heard that her godfather had hired several new chefs, and their skills were excellent.

“Okay, okay, let’s go right now.” Yan Lao Er hurriedly said, “We don’t have much to pack, we’ll just leave. It’s just that we have to put on a show for those people.”

"A bandit attack?" Yan Yu raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "There isn't even a bandit stronghold around the capital. It's been wiped out completely. Where would bandits come from? Coming all this way?"

"It's just for show," Yan Lao Er said. "Anyone with eyes can see what's going on. Just remember it."

Yan Yu shook her head: "Father, you and the Prince are too amiable. They've come to bully us right at our doorstep. How can we tolerate this? If we tolerate it this time, do you believe me? Next time they'll be even more ruthless and unscrupulous."

"So what do you want?" Yan Lao Er knew that he was no match for his daughter in this regard.

"Take them to the city gate, call people to collect the bodies. I won't take more than fifty taels of silver per person; that's too cheap for them," Yan Yu said resentfully, her cheeks puffed out.

"Huh?" Yan Lao Er looked bewildered. "They're not stupid. Coming to collect the body would just give them away, wouldn't it?"

"Place the body at the city gate, cover the body and cover the face. If asked, say it was a merchant leaving the capital who was robbed by bandits halfway. They stole all the goods. Look, the cart is empty. Look at how the bandits slashed the cart. Tsk tsk, it's all rotten."

Yan Yu sighed in a high-pitched, fake voice:

"It's too tragic! We couldn't bear to see it, so we risked everything to snatch the body back from the thieves. Look at all these injuries we've sustained, they hurt so much, I can't stand it anymore, I need to go into the city for treatment."

If the family who claims the body leaves the money as a token of gratitude, we'll accept it. We'll ask for fifty taels, which includes medical expenses. If they pay, we'll accept it; if not, we don't know who to ask for it from. It's just a matter of conscience.

"The waiter risked his life for his boss, and he's so stingy with even a pittance for collecting the body? Ha! The whole capital is watching!"

Looking at the faces filled with admiration, Yan Yu said, "We'll put up a sign and go collect the money in the middle of the night. If we don't get any, well, starting tomorrow we'll spread the word all over the capital."

She says she won't take it if someone doesn't give it to her, but that's just talk.

If the people behind these men in black dare to owe her money, Yan Yu will pursue them relentlessly until they die!
Write it down in her little notebook.

She also wanted to complain to her uncle.

Once we find this guy, we'll kill him, kill him!

Yan Lao Er looked at the injuries on everyone's bodies. No, they were dirty.

He straightened his expression and said, "The waiter is right. It wasn't easy for us to risk our lives to retrieve the body from the thieves!"

"That's settled then!"

"Come on, brothers, let's stretch our legs after we've eaten our fill. Let's clean up these dead ghosts and stuff up any scraps that fell out."

"How do you think it looks?" someone asked.

"Keep an eye on them, make sure their heads and bodies match up, don't mix them up."

Yan Lao Er found out a lot of straw mats.

I really couldn't bear to use anything else to cover the dead.

The battered car body panels were reinstalled on the vehicle, but they no longer fit together perfectly.

Seeing this, Yan Lao Er muttered with heartache, "The carriage is so badly damaged, how much will the carriage company have to pay? Fifty taels is too lenient on them."

Waiter: I remember what Brother Pan said~ Once we enter the capital, I, Yan Xiao'er, will walk sideways~ o(*￣︶￣*)o~
Pan Zheng: What?! (⊙_⊙)? A huge pot fell from the sky and killed me!
