The first batch of fish weighed over a thousand jin. Mo Yan initially took one hundred and fifty jin to the shop on a horse-drawn cart to test sales, kept a hundred and twenty jin, and sent thirty jin shared amongst the Punishing Shopkeeper and Owner Mu with a few tails each, while the rest were all delivered to the Scholar Mansion and the Liu Family.
Mo Yan set a high price for the fish, five Wen Money more per jin compared to the market price. Those who could afford to buy grain from the Mo Family's shop were not short of money, and the reputation of the shop was good—it had never cheated or overcharged its customers. As a result, under the recommendations of Lizhong and others, the customers who liked to eat fish or had family members who enjoyed fish were very willing to pay for it.
As it turned out, the very next day, those customers who had bought fish the day before flocked in, not to buy grains, but specifically for the fish.
