Chapter 43 43. Stock up on seafood

Although Shiliu was scared to death by Brother Shi San at the time, she had to say that this was a good way to make money. The key was that she really had a large amount of fabrics in her hands. Their family would definitely not be able to use them all, and she did not dare to I really gave all my family new clothes. They are proud of being "poor" these days, and their family suddenly became rich. There is no guarantee that someone with bad intentions will not report their family.

With a plan in mind, Pomegranate went out for a walk and came back with a large bundle of fabrics.

Brother Shi Sange gave a thumbs up to Pomegranate: "As expected of my sister, she is amazing."

"Third brother, be careful. Don't let others know about this."

"Don't worry while I take care of things. Third brother is a strict man."

Pomegranate glanced at Third Brother rather uneasily. Forget it, she should watch over her more: "Third Brother, I plan to go to the beach to buy some seafood. Do you want to go with me?"

"Go, why don't you go? Third brother will carry a sack for you." Third brother Shi was quite confident in his eldest sister's shopping ability. He decided to bring two sacks, one of which might not be enough.

Facts have proved that Brother Shi San knows his sister quite well. Just for the dried kelp, Pomegranate bought a sack, and then another sack of shredded squid and various dried sea fish.

Pomegranate pursed her lips with some pity: "It's a pity that now is not a good time for sea fishing, otherwise we can still get some sea cucumbers, abalones and the like."

Brother Shi San was carrying two large sacks and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Sister, these are enough for us to eat for a long time."

Pomegranate secretly thought that the third brother was naive: "This is a lot of things. Not to mention other families, the uncle and grandma are going to give some away? But I gave it to the uncle, where is the third uncle? Where is the aunt and the second aunt? The boss will share some. , the Xi family will share a little bit, but in the end there won’t be much left.”

Brother Shi San's eyes widened: "We all bought this with our own money, why should we share it with them!"

Pomegranate was choked immediately, and she suddenly remembered that the one from home always seemed to be the one who beat the autumn wind.

Her father died early. No matter how capable Su Sanlan was, a woman's wish to support four sons and one daughter was still wishful thinking in this environment. It can be said that the reason why their brothers and sisters have grown so big is largely because their mother, Su Sanlan, raised them in the autumn breeze.

During New Years and holidays, the uncle would only give him an egg at most, but the third uncle's place would be even simpler. He could handle it with just a handful of stir-fried vegetables. The only thing that made Su Sanlan bleed was her grandma's house, who would give her at least three or five eggs each time. , of course, her grandma also gave many gifts in return, and her uncle gave birth to a son. As for the other two aunts, each of them gave birth to daughters, who had no confidence to be oppressed.

After thinking about it, Pomegranate's face turned red with shame. She couldn't do it so confidently and took advantage: "Ahem, our family used to have difficulties. Now that we have grown up, the pressure in life is not as great as before. There is still a lot of tension between relatives. It’s better to go back and forth, not to mention that these seafood are valuable over there, here you can buy a kilogram of kelp for two cents, and giving five kilograms as a gift is only a dime.”

Brother Shi Sange thought the same thing: "Maybe the return gifts from uncle and the others are worth more than our overseas goods."

Pomegranate picked it up with her eyes, forget it, she was willing to send the things out anyway, and besides, Brother Shi was telling the truth. The uncle never treats their family badly. Even if they give an egg during the Chinese New Year, they will get 2 taels of brown sugar. Not to mention the grandma and uncle. Most of the defective cloth in the house is given by the uncle. Even the stingiest child The third uncle's family has not suffered any losses.

Looking back at the coast, Pomegranate decided to come one more time before leaving. She would not let her third brother follow her. She would buy more and store them in the space. She would have seaweed and pork ribs soup from time to time to make sure it tasted as delicious as possible. "Sister, we have too many things. Getting on the train will be a problem. How about mailing these two sacks of overseas goods home in advance?" At this point, Brother Shi began to feel distressed again. After all, the postage costs are too high. Not cheap.

Pomegranate agreed very simply: "Except for the fabrics and those that you and I will use at any time, the rest of the things will be packed and sent back."

When Brother Shi heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, I can carry two more sacks."

"That's it." The fabric alone is a whole sack, and the other miscellaneous things add up to at least three sacks. If Shi Sange carries it alone, it will not only be very inconvenient and tiring to get on and off the train, but she is also not lacking. That's the postage.

Brother Shi San regretted his suggestion just now. Why did he forget that his eldest sister had wide hand slits.

After feeling annoyed for a while, Brother Shi started to ask Pomegranate enthusiastically: "Sister, what is isinglass? Is it also used for beauty purposes? I have only heard of peach gum, and this is the first time I know that fish also has gum."

"Isinglass has been a tribute and supplement since ancient times. Together with bird's nests, sea cucumbers, shark's fins, abalone, scallops, fish lips, caviar, etc., it is known as the 'Bazhen of the Sea' and enjoys the reputation of 'marine ginseng'. Isinglass not only has the effect of beauty and beauty , and it can prevent skin aging, whiten skin, etc. In short, it has many benefits.”

Although Brother Shi San didn't understand what he heard, he still knew about the tributes, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that we can also taste the good food of the emperor now. Now the days are getting more and more promising."

Pomegranate was amused by the appearance of Third Brother Shi: "That's not all. The Hongfu apples on the mountain in our village were actually tributes, but because they grew on the mountains and the output was not fixed, they were later removed from the tribute list."

"What?" Brother Shi really didn't know about this, but he had eaten apples from the mountains. Unlike ordinary apples that grow on the mountains, which are small and bitter, Hongfu apples are big, sweet, and red on the outside. Very pretty.

"What's so surprising? We have a county prince here, right?" In fact, Shiliu also learned about it when Prince Rui told him about ancient times. When the new emperor suddenly increased the number of Hongfu apples offered, Prince Rui gave him to him in anger. He refused, and then Hongfu Apple withdrew from the list of tributes.

Brother Shi San suddenly asked mysteriously: "Sister, do you think there are really ancient tombs in our back mountain? I heard that tomb robbers were often found in the back mountain in the past few years, but unfortunately I have never heard of the actual tomb robbers. Was it successful?" He was a little moved when he thought of the prince's burial objects.

Pomegranate's eyes flashed. She really knew where the tomb of the county prince was, but opening the tomb hastily with current technology would only damage the funerary objects inside, so she wouldn't say anything. Moreover, Prince Rui was considered her master anyway. As an apprentice, it always felt weird to lead someone to dig his master's grave.

Brother Shi San was still muttering to the side: "What do you think the prince's burial objects were? Will there be dragon robes..."

Her third brother really dared to think that a dragon robe would be buried with a county prince in his tomb.
