In front of the small stall, someone finally came forward and asked,

“How does it work?”

“5 yuan for a net, 10 yuan for three. You can keep as many fish as you can get,” Jiang Bei answered.

“Then if I take all these fish, won’t you suffer a great loss?” The man laughed heartily.

“It’s not that simple. This paper is very fragile.” Jiang Bei smiled and shook his head. He did not avoid answering.

This was not only an honest answer, it also aroused the man’s competitive spirit.

At this time, the child beside the man also said, “Mommy and daddy, I want to play with this! I like these small fish!”

“Okay, give us three nets!” The man took out 10 yuan from his wallet and handed it to Jiang Bei. Jiang Bei received the money and handed over three small nets that he had just made.

The little boy was not very good at it. He took the small net and fished around in the fish tank. He had just caught a small fish when the net broke.

“Dad, the net broke…” The boy looked at his father with frustration.

“Let me try and catch one for you!” The man rolled up his sleeves and picked up a small net.

He had already understood the game a little. The paper would become soft when it came in contact with water. If it was too heavy, it would break.

Therefore, it could not stay in the water for a long time.

He found a small fish in the corner and slowly approached it with the net. With a light pull, the small fish was fished out.

Then, he repeated this action, but this time he was a little slower. The fishing net broke, and the second small fish was not successfully fished out.

“Yay! Daddy succeeded!” The boy shouted excitedly.

The man also smiled. He took the plastic bag containing the small fish and let the child have the last net to continue the game.

As expected, the little boy’s net broke again. He put on a sad face and begged to do it again.

The man gave Jiang Bei another 10 yuan in exchange for three fishing nets.

The boy used two more nets and finally fished out a small fish.

The man used the last net and fished out two small fish.

20 yuan in exchange for four small fish. Both Jiang Bei and the family of three got something out of it.

The child received joy and a sense of accomplishment. He successfully fished out a small fish, which was his trophy today.

As for his father, he was usually busy with work and rarely accompanied the child. This time, he was able to make his child proud.

Although the woman didn’t play the game, she was also happy to see the father and son getting along so well.

This was what 20 yuan bought them.

Jiang Bei received 20 yuan and Wanwan was happy for her father because he earned money.

“Give me three nets too!”

After that, others also wanted to play the game with their children.

“Dad, hurry up and make the fishing nets. There are so many people waiting for you. Wanwan will collect the money for you!” Wanwan volunteered.

“Okay, put the money in your bag. Got It?”

“Got it!” Wanwan nodded and agreed.

When a person finished playing a game, Wanwan would even shout in her tender voice, “Does anyone else want to play the game? It’s a very fun fishing game! You can have all the fish you catch!”

From time to time, the hearty laughter of adults and the adoring exclamations of children who said “Daddy is so awesome!” could be heard in front of this small stall.

This was not just a game prepared for the children. It was more like a parent-child game. The adults would first try how to play it, and then teach the children how to do it.

Jiang Bei was generous with the fish nets even though the fish was only sold for 10 cents. He placed two sticky rice sheets on each fishing net.

In other words, under normal circumstances, it was actually very easy to catch one, and it wasn’t difficult to catch two.

As for those children whose motor skills were not as developed, as long as they were careful, they could also succeed.

Catching a small fish in such a game not only made the children but also the adults happy

So…

Jiang Bei, who understood this, could capitalize on it.

As for Wanwan, although other children were all playing in the park with their parents, she didn’t feel bored. She felt happy that she could help her father.

The new game was popular in the park.

On this day, more than half of the children in the park were holding a small transparent plastic bag in their hands. Inside was the small fish from Jiang Bei’s small stall.

Because of this, Jiang Bei was very busy.

Of course, he didn’t forget to take his daughter to have lunch at KFC, which she had been missing for a long time, and then continued working at the stall in the afternoon.

Wanwan’s presence had helped Jiang Bei a lot. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been easy for him to collect the money and make the fishing nets at the same time.

The sky gradually turned dark, and most of the visitors had dispersed.

Almost all the baby koi fish were gone. He packed up his stall, put on his backpack, and prepared to go home with Wanwan.

“Did I help today?” Wanwan asked softly as she hugged Jiang Bei’s neck.

“You did. Wanwan is very good. You helped me a lot.” Jiang Bei patted his daughter’s back gently.

She was still very young and needed an afternoon nap. However, because she hadn’t slept at all today because of him. Jiang Bei was touched by his daughter’s understanding, but his heart also ached.

“You are amazing to earn so much money. Mommy will definitely be very happy when she sees it.” Wanwan’s voice gradually became softer. She was in Jiang Bei’s arms and could not even open her eyes.

Jiang Bei glanced at the park entrance and the locked trishaw. He shook his head and carried his daughter home slowly.

One hand was carrying his daughter’s small body and the other gently held the back of her head. In order to prevent her from catching a cold from the night wind.

He was very satisfied.

Taking advantage of the occasrion, he made almost 15,000 yuan from 1000 yuan!

Under the street light, Jiang Bei’s shadow was elongated.

But behind him, a few people with malicious intentions followed him into the residential area..
