Chapter 330: Battle of Wits

Bai Erlang and Datou sat on stools, thoroughly enjoying the little fish. Datou asked him, "Tastes good?"

Bai Erlang nodded, "Last year's were even tastier."

"That's because the young master's family's cook made them with a lot of oil, of course they were delicious."

Bai Erlang immediately said, "My family has oil as well."

Then he looked at Datou.

He couldn't decide what to do with the fish at home, nor was he allowed to touch the fishing nets.

So, rotating his eyeballs, he said, "I'll get my Fourth Uncle to catch the fish, and you take them home to fry. You'll have to share half with us."

Datou knew how expensive oil was, while the little fish didn't cost money, just effort.

But Bai Erlang didn't see it that way; he thought the oil, which they had at home and didn't cost money, was inconsequential compared to the rarity of the little fish.

So the two made eye contact and struck a deal.
