The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 467 - 434: Known to All

As the first ice hole on Yuan Bao’s side was broken through, fish jumped out from the hole one by one, and the people breaking ice on the river also started getting their catches.

Of course, compared to the bustle on Yuan Bao’s side, the harvests were a bit less satisfying for the common folks.

But even so, it still brought joy to many people.

Even if it was just one fish, it was still a free gain.

There were too many fish on Yuan Bao’s side, and under the Eldest Princess’s suggestion, many were given to the people watching by the river.

Unfortunately, though the number of fish was quite large, it was still not possible to cover every household.

Finally, with the spirit of sharing joy with the people, the Eldest Princess simply had the Wei Family pay to buy all the fish caught by the townsfolk on the ice and gave them away.

In Yuan Bao’s view, this was purely burning through money.

However, this thought was something Yuan Bao would never say out loud. It was just a thought she kept to herself.

On this day, most of Yunyang City was engulfed in a sea of joy.

After all, getting a fish for free to improve the family meal, who wouldn’t be happy?

...

The happy thing is, the fish in the river were limited in number.

Otherwise, regularly doing this wouldn’t be a bad thing.

At night, Yuan Bao sensed the amount of Incense Fire Wishing Power in her space and suddenly felt that her grandmother was indeed a wise person.

Just because of the fish-giving act during the day, Yuan Bao received the heartfelt gratitude of the people of Yunyang City, which directly translated into gaining an unimaginable amount of Incense Fire Wishing Power.

When Wei Wushang returned after his work outside, seeing Yuan Bao in a good mood, he was quite curious.

"Jiaojiao, what’s happened?"

"Why are you so happy?"

Wei Wushang sat opposite Yuan Bao, gazing at her with a smile.

Yuan Bao naturally couldn’t reveal anything about the Incense Fire Wishing Power to Wei Wushang and had to tell a half-truth, attributing all the joy to the fish-catching incident by the river.

In fact, going to the river to catch fish was truly enjoyable.

If you didn’t count having to help Wei Qiqi inquire about that scholar, today would have been very pleasant.

"How about we go again tomorrow?"

Wei Wushang felt a bit regretful for missing such a lively scene.

Yuan Bao shook her head swiftly and declined.

"No more!"

"There are just so many fish in the river. If we catch too many now, there won’t be any left next year!"

"We can’t exhaust the resources like this!"

While Yuan Bao wanted to gather more Incense Fire Wishing Power, she knew everything should have its limits.

Too much is as bad as too little!

This time, they gave away fish and earned the gratitude of the people.

But if they kept doing this, it could turn into resentment over generosity. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Moreover, after today’s event, it’s likely more people will come to the river for ice fishing.

It wouldn’t really be appropriate for Yuan Bao to go again.

"You have a point!"

Wei Wushang chuckled, "Then, how about we don’t go to this river, we go somewhere else!"

"Is there such a place?"

Though Yuan Bao had lived in Yunyang City for quite some time, back then she really lacked the means to explore, so she wasn’t familiar with the surroundings.

"Of course there is!"

Wei Wushang smiled faintly, "Northeast of Yunyang City, about more than 40 li away, there’s a big river, larger than the one outside Yunyang City, and along the river, there’s a huge lake!"

"When the time comes, whether we catch fish in the river or in the lake, we can do both!"

"Let’s just forget it!"

Hearing Wei Wushang’s words, Yuan Bao thought for a moment and ultimately declined calmly.

"Why not?"

Wei Wushang was a bit unhappy.

Yuan Bao lightly shrugged and said, "It’s about sustainable use!"

"Besides, we don’t really need a few more fish at home!"

"What happened yesterday will definitely spread, and by then, if people all go to the river to catch fish, it wouldn’t look good if we also go."

Yuan Bao’s reasons were quite substantial.

In fact, while considering this reason, Yuan Bao was also pondering another issue.

She had gone fishing by the river outside the city since she was just over a year old, so the townsfolk should have long known about catching fish by breaking ice in winter.

Could there be some secret to this?
