章 25: Chapter 23: The Strange Post

The cheaper the better?

The vendor was stunned, for in all his years of business, he had never heard of such an eccentric way to pick koi fry.

The few old spectators were also dumbfounded, especially the old man who had previously spoken up to advise. He looked at Huo Sining with a glare, cursing inwardly: One fool left, and another idiot arrived—can't they see this obvious scam?

"Young lady, that's not how you pick ornamental fish. Cheap stuff isn't good quality!"

Seeing Huo Sining actually squat down to pick fish, the old man got anxious and hurriedly advised her.

"Grandpa, it's fine. The fry aren't expensive anyway, I'm just buying them for fun."

Huo Sining didn't feel there was anything wrong with her decision. She had scoured the entire market just to find such affordable fish breeds.

She picked out five fish, and after some persistent haggling, managed to get the vendor to throw in an extra one for free, spending a total of fifty yuan.
