Li Du had thought there was something good in the basin, what with the boss acting so shady as if this was an illegal trade. His guess was that there was some endangered species of fish or illegal animal, but it turned out to be a bunch of huge tadpoles that he saw when the boss lifted the black cloth!
Yes, they definitely looked like huge tadpoles. Though they had huge heads and did not look like regular tadpoles, Li Du thought he could still identify them. These tadpoles were as long as an adult's palm and their bodies were translucent with a tinge of blue. They swam freely in the water with gentle flicks of their tails.
Li Du asked, "What are these? Are these tadpoles? Why are you selling tadpoles?"
Big Markelov was surprised as well, so he chatted with the boss. Then he turned to speak to Li Du, "These are not tadpoles, these are fish. They're called glassfish."
Li Du shook his head. "No way, you can't fool me. These are tadpoles."
