Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

"Hmm, are you going to buy it or not?" the fishmonger asked.

"Buy, buy, buy."

Zhu Suosuo quickly found Lin Yi and told him what she had found out.

Lin Yi glanced at it and understood the gist of it. He then took Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun and prepared to leave.

"Buy it somewhere else. The grass carp and black carp here are all farmed," Lin Yi said after glancing at them.

“That’s not right. He said the grass carp are wild, but the snakehead fish are farmed here and wild here,” Zhu Suosuo said.

"You're overthinking it. He's just trying to trick you into buying it. There's a big difference between farmed and wild animals. You don't know, but I can tell the difference at a glance," Lin Yi said.

"Cough cough... What blackfish? A blackfish that swims on its back?" Lin Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Yeah, is there a problem?" Zhu Suosuo asked, puzzled, not knowing what was so funny.

"How come I didn't know fish could swim on their backs?" Lin Yi said.

“But that’s exactly what he said,” Zhu Suosuo said.

Lin Yi glanced at Zhu Suosuo and said expressionlessly, "The fish is swimming on its back, which means it's dead. So, what he's talking about must be a dead fish."

"Pfft-"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She never imagined that a fish that swims on its back actually meant a "dead fish".

That's true, if you think about it carefully, that makes sense, but they just didn't think of that, and as a result, they were deceived.

"I..." Zhu Suosuo's anger flared up upon hearing this.

Damn it, I just bought a fish and got ripped off.

What kind of fish swims on its back? It just turned out to be a dead fish!

Zhu Suosuo was almost driven mad with anger.

She had a strong feeling that Lin Yi had looked at her as if she were mentally challenged.

The fishmonger was surprised that the young man had seen through him at a glance.

"Expert, I was wrong this time, but I saw her... that's why I said that," the fishmonger said awkwardly.

"Do I look like an idiot?" Zhu Suosuo heard this, put down her things, and was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.

Zhu Suosuo was very angry.

She always considered herself very clever, but one day she was actually cheated by a fishmonger.

Lin Yi looked at the fishmonger and said, "It's not right for you to cheat people like this, is it?"

"That's right, if they don't give us an explanation, this isn't over yet." Zhu Suosuo said, standing behind Lin Yi, seeing that someone was backing her up.

"Okay, it was wrong of me to lie. What do you want to know?" the fishmonger asked.

"I'll take these turtles in front of me." Lin Yi glanced at the stall and pointed to the turtles next to him.

The fishmonger took a look at the turtles; they weren't very big and were of a common breed. He probably wanted them to keep as pets.

It's alright, not an exorbitant price.

If this young man goes too far, he will never agree to it no matter what.

"Sure," the fishmonger said.

Zhu Suosuo never expected that after all that fuss, they would just be playing with these few turtles?

Zhu Suosuo wanted to argue with the fishmonger for a few more minutes.

Seeing this, Lin Yi quickly pulled Zhu Suosuo away.

After buying the wild black carp and grass carp, the ingredients were ready.

Of course, along with the fishmonger's compensation, there were also a few turtles.

Lin Yi drove home, and Zhu Suosuo sat in the passenger seat, her little mouth puffed up in anger.

Today's events have infuriated Zhu Suosuo.

Seeing this, Jiang Nansun in the back seat quickly comforted her, "SuoSuo, it's alright, we're not angry anymore."

"Of course you're not angry, it wasn't about you," Zhu Suosuo said angrily.

Lin Yi glanced at her and saw Zhu Suosuo's angry expression; he almost laughed.

The fishmonger's words were like devastating blows to Zhu Suosuo.

Zhu Suosuo completely lost her temper.

"Lin Yi, I've been bullied like that. And you're still laughing?" Zhu Suosuo was very unhappy to see Lin Yi's ambiguous smile.

"I wasn't laughing. I was driving, I didn't have time to laugh," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I..." Zhu Suosuo didn't want to talk to him, and said to Jiang Nansun, "Nansun, tell me, what kind of people are these? I just haven't bought fish before? Just because I don't know, they say I'm stupid? And they deliberately lied to me? This is too much of a bullying."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Nansun comforted him, agreeing wholeheartedly, saying that the fishmonger was indeed not a good person for doing such a thing.

Upon hearing Jiang Nansun nod, Zhu Suosuo turned her gaze to Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, I was bullied like that, and you only wanted three little turtles?" Zhu Suosuo looked at Lin Yi and said with great grievance.

She had already decided that if Lin Yi didn't give a clear answer later, she would cry for a while.

Hmph (^).

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Otherwise what? Of all the turtles on the stall, those few are the most valuable. If I don't want those, what do I want?"

Lin Yi's words instantly piqued the interest of Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun.

"Wait, Lin Yi, what did you say? The little turtle is the most valuable item at that stall?" Jiang Nansun asked again.

"Mmm," Lin Yi said.

"So small, yet more valuable than those big fish? You mean these three little turtles have another name?" Zhu Suosuo immediately understood.

"Hmm, not bad, not too stupid," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Ignoring Lin Yi's teasing, Zhu Suosuo smiled and leaned closer to ask, "Lin Yi, what's the significance of those three little turtles?"

"These three little turtles are black-necked turtles, but unfortunately they are not wild. If they were wild, they would be a Class II protected animal," Lin Yi said.

"Ahem... Lin Yi, are you sure you're not mistaken? They're green, aren't they? They're not black either, they look just like ordinary little turtles," Zhu Suosuo said.

“The fishmongers thought the same thing, so they treated them like ordinary little turtles,” Lin Yi said.

"How much is it worth?" Zhu Suosuo asked curiously.

"Three to five thousand each, no problem," Lin Yi said.

"So, all three together cost at least nine thousand? Nearly ten thousand isn't a problem?" Zhu Suosuo asked in surprise.

"Mm," Lin Yi said.

Zhu Suosuo, who had initially felt wronged, suddenly burst out laughing.

"You're laughing again. Are you happy now?" Lin Yi said speechlessly.

Zhu Suosuo laughed and said, "Of course, the fishmonger just said a few words to me and I lost 10,000 yuan."

We only got a couple of scoldings, but we made 10,000 yuan. What's there to be unhappy about?

If I could earn ten thousand just by taking a few words at someone, I could make his family go bankrupt.

Lin Yi said, "Let me clarify something: you're the one who got scolded. Besides, the little turtle is mine."

"I..." Zhu Suosuo was speechless, looking at Lin Yi in surprise, and said, "No, Lin Yi, how could you say something like that?"

Lin Yi smiled, completely unconcerned.

"Is the little turtle more important or am I?" Zhu Suosuo asked.

"Money is important," Lin Yi replied.

Zhu Suosuo stopped talking. If she didn't want to give it to her, she didn't want to.

However, Zhu Suosuo had other ideas. While Lin Yi was raising the little turtle, she took the turtle and its pot away.

Hehe, she doesn't want it either. It's not too much to raise her for a while, right?

Zhu Suosuo praised herself for her cleverness.

After returning home, Lin Yi started cooking.

Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun were watching the little turtle together.

Honestly, Lin Yi called it a Black-necked Demon, but it's grown to this age and there's not a trace of blackness in it.

However, the two of them still watched with great interest.

Until the dishes on the table were brought to the table one by one.

Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun stopped watching the little turtle's movements.

"It smells so good, I can smell it from this far away," Jiang Nansun said.

"Now you know how good Lin Yi's cooking is, right? If I hadn't taken advantage of this opportunity, you would never have tasted such good cooking in your entire life." Zhu Suosuo said, subconsciously swallowing.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Nansun burst out laughing.

"SuoSuo, are you drooling?" Jiang Nansun said with a smile.

"What do you know? I'm just salivating," Zhu Suosuo said with a smile.

Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun came to the table together.

Then they discovered something: the dishes Lin Yi cooked were not only fragrant, but their aroma could also be smelled from a great distance.
