Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 12 Is your fish skin made of gold?

early morning.

As dawn broke, Huo Yuhao was awakened by his biological clock, which he had developed over many years. He subconsciously looked out the window. The clear, pure sky was cloudless, with stars faintly visible among the clouds. After the sudden rain last night, everything seemed to be refreshed.

Huo Yuhao stretched, got up and walked out of his room. The doors and windows of Huo Yun'er's bedroom across the hall were wide open, and the sound of pots and pans clattering could be faintly heard from downstairs.

Hearing the noise coming downstairs, Huo Yun'er poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a light laugh, "You're awake. Come and have breakfast."

Looking at the two bowls of steaming hot porridge on the table, Huo Yuhao spoke helplessly.

"Mom, I can do these things."

Huo Yun'er came out of the kitchen carrying two plates of side dishes and responded irritably upon hearing this.

"Your mother isn't old enough to need her son to take care of her. Fine, you won't let me find a job, but do you want me to become bored out of my mind? Go wash your hands."

Huo Yuhao wisely shut his mouth. Heaven knows how much effort he had put into persuading Huo Yun'er to stay at home last night. If he said anything more now, all his efforts would be in vain.

After we sell all the grilled fish today, I'll go check out the flower shop.

Thinking about what plants would be suitable to grow at home, Huo Yuhao quickly finished his breakfast, informed his mother, and left home.

Instead of heading to the blacksmith shop first, he went to the market in Tiandou City. Since he was going to sell grilled fish, he naturally had to prepare the raw materials first.

During the month he was on his way to Tiandou City, he did not neglect his cultivation. Although the Pride of Pride greatly increased his soul power capacity, his soul power progress was not ideal, but it was still much faster than it took him five years to reach level ten in his previous life.

Now that he has money, Huo Yuhao hasn't skimped on food. In addition, his training over the past month has been quite effective, and his physical fitness is improving rapidly. His meridians are no longer as bad as they were in his previous life.

At this rate, he should be able to reach level 10 soul power a few years ahead of schedule, and then he can go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Brother Tianmeng.

Upon arriving at the market, after a heated bargaining session with the fishmonger, Huo Yuhao bought fifty bluefish for two copper coins each, each weighing about two to three pounds. He then had the fishmonger prepare them for him before leaving amidst the fishmonger's astonished gaze, ready to engage in a battle of wits with the other vendors.

"My goodness...whose child is this?"

The other children standing nearby were dumbfounded, their expressions as utterly bizarre as could be. They had never seen such a clever and cunning child before.

Having bought all the necessary materials, Huo Yuhao strolled out of the market amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the vendors. He couldn't help but thank Zhu Lu again in his heart. If it weren't for the storage bracelet she gave him, he might not even have been able to sell grilled fish. After all, it wouldn't be easy to take so many grilled fish to another place to set up a stall.

After getting the grill from the blacksmith and buying some charcoal for grilling, Huo Yuhao's grand plan to grill fish was finally completed. Fifty grilled fish was the limit he set for himself. He only needed to spend two hours a day to sell them all, and the rest of the time would naturally be used for cultivation and making soul tools.

As for the price of the grilled fish, in his previous life it cost five copper coins per fish, but this time Huo Yuhao planned to set it at ten coins.

As the capital, Tiandou City had much higher prices, which significantly increased Huo Yuhao's costs. He couldn't make much money selling fish for five copper soul coins. Moreover, his cooking skills had improved dramatically compared to when he sold grilled fish in his previous life, making the fish taste even better, so the price naturally had to go up.

The main reason is that Tiandou City does not allow random street vending in order to prevent it from affecting the city's appearance. You must go to a designated food street and pay a stall fee. The price varies depending on the location of the stall.

Otherwise, all you can do every day is play a game of cat and mouse with those good brothers in the law enforcement team who shout that any evil will eventually be brought to justice.

"Little friend, do you want to set up a stall?"

A middle-aged man wearing epaulets looked at Huo Yuhao with some surprise. There were several other people beside him, who also looked curious.

"Yes, the grilled fish stand."

Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more about this, and took out a gold soul coin from his pocket and stuffed it into the other person's hand.

Are there any better spots available?

Yes, yes!

A kind smile immediately appeared on the man's face. He patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, young man. Don't worry, I'll find you a good spot. My surname is Huang, Huang Yu. You can call me Uncle Huang."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang. My name is Huo Yuhao. You can just call me Xiao Huo."

"Yes, come with me, I'll take you there myself."

As he spoke, he turned around and led Huo Yuhao inside. That gold soul coin had clearly made Huang Yu pay more attention to him, and he was prepared to do more things for him, since no one would turn down money.

Along the way, the vendors clearly showed some respect for Uncle Huang, and even the way they looked at Huo Yuhao was different.

While searching for a suitable stall, Huang Yu spoke earnestly to Huo Yuhao.

"Little Huo, now that I've taken your money, I'll naturally help you more. There aren't many rules here, just don't cause trouble, and pay your stall fee on time every month. You're young, so if any other vendors bully you, just mention my name."

Huo Yuhao nodded. The fact that the other party personally led him to the stall meant that he was looking out for him. It was almost lunchtime, and the snack street was bustling with people. After Huang Yu walked around, he pointed to an empty spot.

"Here it is. Try it out here today. If you think it's okay, go pay the stall fee. If not, I'll pick another spot for you."

"I like it here too, so there's no need to change. Thank you, Uncle Huang."

"Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'll be going now."

After watching the other person leave, Huo Yuhao methodically took out the grill and table from the storage space and arranged them one by one. With the charcoal fire lit, Xiao Huo Grilled Fish officially opened for business five years ahead of schedule.

Since the fishmonger had already processed the internal organs, Huo Yuhao only needed to mix his own sauce with spices and rub it into the fish's belly, then brush a layer of oil on the fish skin before grilling.

Watching Huo Yuhao skillfully prepare the bluefish, the surrounding vendors even forgot to hawk their wares. It wasn't until the rich aroma filled their nostrils that they snapped back to reality, their throats bobbing, their mouths watering, and even their eyes shining with a peculiar light.

Just as Huo Yuhao was grilling fish and feeling the gluttonous sin constantly flooding into his mental space, the vendor next to him finally couldn't help but swallow hard and ask a question.

"Young man, how much is your grilled fish?"

"Ten copper soul coins for each one, Uncle, would you like to try some?"

"So expensive!?"

The man's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked at the bluefish that hadn't been processed yet.

"This fish doesn't look particularly special. Is the skin made of gold, or is the flesh made of gold?"
