Picky Manbao stood in front of the fish vendor's stall, insisting that the fish be placed in another bucket, but the vendor was unwilling and kept recommending the remaining fish to Manbao, "These fish are delicious, especially fresh. You can make soup with them, or even steam them."
Bai Shan glanced at him and simply put away the copper coins, taking out a piece of silver.
When the vendor saw it, his entire face twisted with interest, but he half-heartedly refused, turning his head to the side and saying, "Sir, miss, please don't make things difficult for us. We can't sell you these fish; we have to send them to the Town Leader's mansion."
The Town Leader is the leader of this town. Manbao and the others heard from a young man yesterday that the Small Town is not very stable, sometimes even plagued by bandits, but they are all kept at bay by their Town Leader and his soldiers, so at least half the houses in this Small Town belong to the Town Leader.
