Chapter 88 Exchange for Fresh Seafood!
From Linyu to Bianguan, if the weather is frozen in advance, it can be reached in seven or eight hours at the speed of 20 kilometers an hour by horse-drawn carriage, which will naturally guarantee the freshness of seafood.It's not winter yet, seafood can't be frozen fast, not to mention the laborious transportation, maybe some people will die in the middle...

Dry goods are the most valuable.

You don't have to drive a carriage in a hurry, and you don't have to worry about things getting smelly or going bad in the middle.

Tang Zangyue: "You don't need to ask more about these, I have my own way, you just need to help me prepare fresh seafood. Also, you can actively prepare some dry goods."

Old Yu restrained his curiosity and said, "This month has the most crabs, sea cucumbers, oysters, shrimps, and abalones. Let me help..."

"My surname is Tang."

"I asked someone to help Mrs. Tang salvage it?"

"Okay, how long will it take to inspect the goods?"

"Tonight."

"Row."

It just so happened that she would stay here for a few more days and needed to rent some equipment to cover her eyes.

She returned to the inn where the horse was sold, rented a carriage and began to rest.

After driving for such a long time, I was exhausted physically and mentally, and I didn't even wash the dust on my body, so I told the second brother a few times, then got into bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Woke up with a splitting headache.

Fortunately, this state didn't last long. She rubbed her temples with her wrist and walked towards the door.

The moment the door was opened, the knocking stopped.

It was the waiter in the shop carrying a bucket of hot water.

The shop waiter was very enthusiastic, and said: "Guest officer, you asked me to call you at Xushi, and it's already Xushi. I've boiled the hot water for you, and I'll help you fill the tub first?"

Tang Zangyue avoided her body and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

A few minutes later, the waiter quickly filled the tub and even tested the temperature of the water with his hands before coming to Tang Zangyue to claim credit, "Guest officer, the water is ready."

Tang Zangyue gave a reward, and after closing the door, she walked behind the screen.

After taking a bath, I changed into clean clothes, and it really felt much lighter.

When she went downstairs to order food, she even asked the waitress some questions, "Do you have any delicious food in Linyu?"

"How can it be fun? The guest officer has also seen it. People who come here are merchants, and they collect some dry goods. They collect it on the same day and leave tomorrow. They don't stay much at all. The people who live here rely on this place all year round. How can there be a place to play after a business and a full meal? If it weren’t for the fact that there are sea officers stationed here, we wouldn’t be able to run this inn either.”

Tang Zangyue pondered over these words carefully and found a point.

The other merchants collected dry goods and shipped them to the north and south of the river. The fresh goods caught were only consumed by the sea people along the coast.If you are used to it and eat too much of it, Haimin will naturally get tired of it, and the price will not be high...

Dry goods only need grain as a transaction, such as the old surplus of this transaction.These storekeepers of Chu are clearly written on the rice paper.

In other words, she can buy these fresh seafood without violating the interests of other merchants!
Tang Zangyue licked her gums, the excitement in her blood couldn't be restrained.On the surface, he was as stable as Mount Tai, "Really? Thank you, little brother."

"It's all right." If it wasn't for the fact that this old man... well, the old man is more energetic than the young man, he would not have said so much.

At the end, the waiter said again: "Guest officer, are you going to leave tomorrow or?"

"I, I have to stay for at least three days."

The waiter in the shop was startled, and Tang Zangyue said: "I heard that this month is the time when crabs are abundant, so you have to eat your mouth."

"Okay, then I will keep the wing room for a few more days for the guest officer."

After Tang Zangyue had rectified, he drove the carriage to the gate of Lao Yu's house.

Lao Yu prepared fresh seafood early in the day, packed them in wooden barrels, and they were all alive and kicking, which was very pleasing to watch.

Tang Zangyue narrowed her eyes with a smile, and then opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing half a cart of grain.

"You haven't had a precedent of exchanging fresh goods for grain before. Now let me make a decision. One catty of fresh goods is exchanged for two catties of coarse grains. What do you think?"

Of course it is good!
After the seafood is dried, the water will evaporate, and the exchange of food is one catty of dry goods for two catties of coarse grains.

Fresh seafood is dried in the sun, and three catties only have to work more than one catty.In other words, three catties of fresh seafood can be exchanged for two catties of coarse grains!

This is what they took advantage of!
Lao Yu's wrinkled face finally showed a smile in front of Tang Zangyue.

"The old lady is kind, we will definitely catch some big ones for you tomorrow, and we will never fool you!"

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words, let's weigh first."

In ancient times, there were measuring tools such as weights.

The young man behind Lao Yu scooped up the live seafood and put it into the basket, filtered the water, and used a weight to weigh the number, and a grey-faced woman was there to count.

After weighing the seafood, throw it back into the bucket to ensure freshness.

Tang Zangyue was also counting, using a mental arithmetic technique.After all, it was the first time for both parties to cooperate, so we had to be careful.

After the woman reported the number to her, and it was the same as in her heart, Tang Zangyue nodded and said, "Okay, do you have any bags for food?"

"There are some."

Together with the dry goods, the transaction was completed, and the young man and old Yu helped carry the bucket onto the carriage.

Lao Yu: "Madam, I have to trouble you to return the bucket."

Haimin is poor, she understands.

Tang Zangyue nodded, "Understood, I will return it to you tomorrow. But..."

"but?"

"I'll only stay in Linyu for a few days. According to your salvage speed today... it's a bit slow."

"What does the old lady mean?"

"Why don't you tell the other villages too? Then, give me an address, and I'll collect them one by one?"

Lao Yu didn't hesitate, and said, "Only fresh goods?"

"nature."

Lao Yu felt relieved, "Okay, tomorrow I will ask some fast-paced children in the family to give a reply, and then answer the old lady. The old lady lives in the inn not far from the post station, right? "

Tang Zangyue nodded, "Yes."

Although Linyu is poor, the people are very united. It was the first time a foreign businessman came to purchase, and Haimin reached an agreement that no matter who came, the price would be the same.Because they know that if these outsiders are given the chance to viciously compete, when one family becomes dominant, they will be squeezed out.

These, they didn't understand at first, but it was a reminder from the post station that they understood the pros and cons of it, and they all scolded these businessmen as treacherous.

Therefore, when Tang Zangyue asked for fresh products from other villages, Lao Yu didn't say yes or no.This sea area is originally owned by God, fishing together, those who can do more work.

However, next time the old lady comes again, he has to dig a piece of land in advance to raise these seafood, so that there will be more food, and the children and other villagers in the family can have enough food.

As soon as the carriage left, Lao Yu said to his daughter-in-law: "Go, let the villagers come over and distribute the food."

"it is good."

The woman ran away, yelling as she ran: "The food is distributed, the food is distributed!"

Today is a tight schedule, so there is not much seafood caught, and it is only a dozen catties for each household.

But tomorrow morning, women and children at home wait for the tide to recede, and pick up some clams and oysters at the beach, and see if this one wants to collect them together.
