Chapter 19 The whole village goes to the sea
Chapter 19 The whole village rushes to the sea
Before long, Ziyu, who arrived at Shashi Village, saw a large group of people standing outside the village from a distance, all staring at her expectantly.
“Hahaha, I told you that the young master would come on time, but you still don’t believe it!”
When Shui Wa saw the familiar mule cart, she laughed heartily and felt relieved.
Most of the villagers were dressed in coarse grass cloth, all patchwork men, with their trousers rolled up high and their feet bare.
Some children's clothes were half too short, leaving their arms and legs exposed.
There was only one old man wearing a 60% new blue cotton shirt and rare cloth shoes on his feet.
…
After the tide recedes, wide tidal flats, shallow pits, and rocks are exposed on the seaside. The fish, shrimps, and crabs left behind struggle to retreat.
Shui Wa nodded understandingly upon hearing this. The young master in front of her didn't look like a businessman. He might have been sent by a big family for training.
Looks like a simple new muslin dress, but it has simple bamboo leaves embroidered on the cuffs, and a wide-brimmed hat is buckled on the little head.
“Then there’s Mayor Lao Ran, the tide is about to ebb!
I want to see what is gained by low tide first. "
“If you say anything, stay back and don’t scare the young master.”
As soon as the mule cart stopped, the villagers gathered around eagerly, and the old man gave a soft drink.
Sea urchin, sea cucumber, octopus, abalone, crab, blue shrimp, lobster, squid, sea bass, shrimp, conger eel, scallop, etc.
“Uncle Shui Wa, to tell you the truth, I am not very clear about the prices of these things.
We will all take our things to the village chief’s house for weighing in a while. What do you think? "Shui Wa took the initiative to clarify Ziyu's doubts.
Let those anchors who go out to overseas videos to see what the real big products are, and stop making nonsense stuff all the time.
With a wave of his hand, village chief Ran sent the whole village, old and young, into action.
The white, tender and cute little guy appeared in front of the villagers and touched the hearts of the women.
“Young Master, would it be too much of a loss if you collect even those in the shell?”
Throughout the year, the whole village relies on selling dry goods to support their families.
Someone coming to the village to collect goods would definitely not be able to satisfy the village chief. Besides, the village chief is the only old boy in his village.
The villagers were a little embarrassed by Ziyu's politeness, and all looked at the old man cautiously.
Large blue shrimps cost 20 cents each, black and gold two-headed abalone cost 50 cents each, extra-large blue flower crabs cost 20 cents each, red stone nine pounds weighing three kilograms cost one cent of silver...
This warning was deeply engraved in Zi Luo's mind, and she habitually closed her eyes to things that disappeared.
Shui Wa was afraid that the young master would be scolded if he didn't know what he was doing and would come back to his village to collect goods.
No one dared to reach out, for fear of attracting the merchants in Shangdu Prefecture and doing harm to the young master.
Besides, it has not been polluted by any industry, and Ziyu wants to stay there.
Rich in protein, more nutritious than chicken, duck, and pork.
“Little Master, the things you picked up are not delicious. Come and see if my family is satisfied with them.”
:
…
It can only be said that Ziyu came here by mistake, relying on the boldness of a skilled person and not understanding some of the rules.
"Don't worry! Everyone in my family likes to eat seafood, and my family has a large population. These things are not enough for two days." Ziyu said without changing her expression.
Ziyu smuggled overseas goods into space from time to time, and was as excited as a mouse falling into a rice vat.
There are also shells on the rocks, those that are as big as the palm of your hand, collect all of them. "
Ziyu's mouth is already watering. Fresh and delicious seafood, even if it is boiled in plain water, is so delicious.
Ziyu, who did not compete with the villagers, carried a large bucket and an iron clamp each with Ziluo, happily following behind to pick up the unwanted seafood.
Only shrimps that are half an arm long and crabs as big as a sea bowl are picked up, while sea cucumbers and sea urchins that are black on the ground are ignored.
“Uncle Shui Wa, your seafood is so rich, I want all these things.
“Okay, let’s go catch the sea together, and I’ll join in the fun today.”
Shui Wa, who was the fastest and had the biggest harvest, walked towards Ziyu with a family of eight people, carrying and carrying them.
A group of simple children, except for envy and shyness, there is no jealousy. Ziyu can't help but nod at the good character of the people in Shashi Village.
Because whoever comes first will get more money in exchange. Before he came out, his father promised them that the money exchanged this time will belong to each of their families.
“Young Master, this is the head of our Shashi Village, Ran.
Her eyes sparkled when she saw that the things Shuiwa's family brought over were of the highest quality.
…
Many people are unable to eat a meal of white rice until they die, and can only rely on seafood to satisfy their hunger, and these foods are not filling at all.
Shui Wa rubbed his hands and smiled so hard that his two grown-up sons moved to new battlefields with their wives and children without any need for his arrangements.
In stark contrast to a group of ragged little black kids in the village, all of them stared at Xiao Luo with envy in their eyes.
Shui Wa is very confident in the things his family picks up. The abalones alone are all black and gold with two heads, and the blue shrimps weigh more than three kilograms each.
“Then I’m relieved. I’ll let my son take his family to pick it up.”
No wonder he dares to come to the beach to receive goods alone with a child. No ordinary person would have the courage.
Ziyu jumped out of the mule cart and said to everyone, "I'm sorry for the intrusion."
Even the older village chief Ran was not far behind. After a group of people swept through, he thought he had nothing useful left behind. …
There are so many varieties that the purple jade can be dazzled, and there are even brightly colored angel fish left in shallow pits.
“Don’t bother, don’t bother!”
You help me take care of the business. After collecting the dry goods from your village, I also want to collect some chickens, ducks and eggs. "
The ignorant Zi Luo was warned many times by her not to reveal their secrets, otherwise he would never see his brother again.
It is a pity that the two time and space are too far apart, otherwise she would have to catch up with the live broadcast trend.
Now it is not easy to find a kind-hearted young man who is willing to buy it at the market price, which is a great thing for the villagers.
Shui Wa, who was helping Zhang Yan, was of course the first to sell his own things. He introduced the prices to Zi Yu in every way.
)
Ziyu turned around and hugged Xiao Luo from the mule cart. The coarse salt in the mule cart disappeared when her hand touched the mule cart.
The land in the village is poor and low-yield because it is close to the sea. The annual output is not enough to pay taxes.
The fish on the reef were as big as an adult's hand, but no one even took a glance at them. The villagers picked up mainly larger fish.
Ziyu, who was counting on the sand with an iron clip, almost had a heart attack because of the cheap price, and a mouthful of saliva made her cough.
“Young master, this price is already the lowest price quoted. If it’s not suitable, we can still discuss it.” Shui Wa said nervously.
