Chapter 402: Catching Fish

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jiang Gu didn’t fully understand what a fish pond was, but she obediently nodded in agreement.

She loved communicating with animals and was happy to help Uncle Xiao Wu. But she hesitated, “Dad, how can the two of us possibly carry a hundred fish?”

Jiang Chuan smiled and ruffled her hair, reassuring her, “Don’t worry. Uncle Xiao Wu has found others to help. You just need to summon the fish to him.”

Jiang Gu, concerned for the fish, instructed, “Only catch a hundred, not one more!”

The next day, Jiang Chuan went to the county town to find Su Zhen.

Zhang Ping, being Su Zhen good friend, accompanied Jiang Chuan to the county.

However, Zhang Ping’s trip was also to help. Although he knew Jiang Chuan had a car that could be expanded and contracted at will, twenty dairy cows and sheep couldn’t be transported in a small car. He was there to help drive the goats and cows back to the village.

Jiang Chuan’s timing was impeccable, as the recent black market had just ended, and Su Zhen had stockpiled a large amount of goods to sell in the neighboring province.

Su Zhen greeted Jiang Chuan and Zhang Ping warmly, serving them the finest Biluochun tea.

He said, “Uncle Jiang, it’s been about a month since we exchanged the scar removal cream recipe. I thought you had forgotten about partnering with me in the black market.”

Jiang Chuan joked, “I thought you had made your fortune and were afraid I’d want a share.”

Su Zhen laughed, “Look at what you’re saying. How could I dare? What do you need today? Just name it, and I’ll find it for you.”

Su Zhen, now a major player, had leveraged the scar removal cream recipe to open doors in the neighboring province, expanding the black market there. This had pressured the local black markets, which gradually became untenable, allowing Su Zhen to eventually control the black markets in two provinces.

Jiang Xia had persistently worked with an old scholar to obtain the formula, gradually breaking down the scholar’s stubbornness until he relented.

The old scholar not only provided the recipe to Jiang Xia but also reconciled with his son.

Perhaps the old scholar believed traditional and modern medicine were in opposition, but he shared his son’s desire to advance medical science and help more people. He hoped to upgrade the scar removal cream to benefit a larger audience.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan’s request, Su Zhen said with a smile, “Uncle Jiang, did you check my inventory in advance? I just received dairy cows and goats after the black market ended, and here you are. I don’t have twenty of each, though, only fifteen. If you want them, they’re yours, but you’ll have to wait for the rest.”

Jiang Chuan replied, “Money is not an issue. I’m collecting them for someone else, so don’t worry about giving me a discount. As the village develops, we might need more items from you. Keep what you have for me.”

Su Zhen assured, patting his chest, “Don’t worry, I’ll reserve what you need. Even if I don’t have it, I’ll find it for you! I’m off to the neighboring province in a couple of days, so I might not be in town. If you need anything, just call me. Besides, we’re partners now, Uncle Jiang. You can just tell my staff what you need instead of coming in person.”

Jiang Chuan insisted on following protocol, “Rules are rules, even if I’m your partner. Some things still need to be discussed in person.”

Su Zhen nodded reluctantly, “Alright. I’ll arrange for the fifteen cows and sheep to be delivered to your village tonight. You won’t need to drive them yourself.”

Zhang Ping was close to Su Zhen, who wouldn’t dare ask Zhang Ping to do such tasks.

After settling this matter, Su Zhen said to Zhang Ping, “You arrived at the perfect time. I was about to look for you. I just received a skin, and I want to give it to you.”

Su Zhen took out a wooden box containing genuine leather. He laid the material on the table for Zhang Ping to inspect.

Zhang Ping felt the leather and examined its fur, commenting, “This is premium material. Skin from a one- to two-month-old calf, completely intact. The texture is fine, perfect for making breathable and windproof leather jackets, and it’s very soft..”
