fisherwoman

The village was only four or five miles away from Longtan Town. Lin Xueman and Xiao Yun talked and laughed all the way, and arrived in the town after a while.

The town is very large and well-planned. A wide cross street in the town divides Longtan Town into four areas. There are densely packed shops along the street. People on the street are constantly walking around. The door was full of people, and business was booming.

"The business here is so good?" Lin Xueman looked at this bustling ancient town in disbelief, isn't it too exaggerated?

"There are not so many people on weekdays. It's just that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and people all come out to buy some New Year's goods. In addition, the weather is good today, so there are a lot of people shopping." Xiao Yun held her hand affectionately, explained with a smile.

The sounds of hawking, loud noises and laughter are intertwined to form a downtown melody. The characters who used to only appear in TV dramas suddenly appear vividly in front of them, which makes people feel a little overwhelmed.

People walking, riding a car, and riding a horse slowly passed by the two of them, and suddenly a dog sprang out from the side, shuttling through the crowd unhurriedly, everything was so vivid and lively. reality.

Standing in the crowd, Lin Xueman looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, and suddenly felt an unprecedented strangeness. If she hadn't traveled through time, she would never have thought that in this time and space unknown to the world, there would be such A group of people are living lively like this...

After going to the embroidery shop to deliver the embroidery, Lin Xueman proposed to go to the seafood market to learn about the market here.

Xiao Yun naturally readily agreed, and hit it off!

The seafood market is set up alone in an open space in Dongzhen District. The ground is wet and smells like fish. All kinds of fish are more or less placed in baskets, some of which are still alive, jumping and jumping. Yes, they are struggling for the last time, some of them have already stood up, and they are neatly placed in a pile, waiting for a price.

Most of the fish sellers are women. After the men come back from the sea, they will rest at home. Their women will push the fish caught by their men and come here to sell.

If no one in the family goes to sea, you can go to other people's boats to wholesale some fish and sell them here, but the income will be less!

The fisherwomen are dressed in tatters, covered in mud, and speak in rough voices. All the charms of women are lost in the cry of bargaining with others. If they are sold for a good price, Then he will dance around, and if the sale is not good, he will sit there dejectedly, looking at no one is pleasing to the eye.

Lin Xuechuan often came to the town with her mother. She must have seen these fisherwomen's costumes in the town and was so frightened that she regretted her marriage. She was half a year older than herself, and she was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. How could she do such rough work.

In comparison, Linjiawa is at the other end of the town, far away from the sea, and makes a living by farming and working. Although he is poor, he looks down on people who go fishing at sea. It is said that there are three hardships in life: punting Isn't that the reason why blacksmiths sell tofu?

The dried fish market is at the end of the fresh fish market, and there are quite a lot of people inside, but it is relatively quiet and clean, and the fishy smell is stronger. All kinds of dried fish are neatly placed in cloth bags. There is a layer of white salt frost.

Compared with these fish, Lin Xueman also felt that the fish he got in the sun yesterday were too small. If he sold them here, no one would buy them. No wonder the locals used them to feed their livestock!

Lin Xueman looked around and got a clue in her heart. There are only a few villages in Longtan Town that are close to the sea. Villages like Linjiawa do not rely on the sea. If they eat fish, they have to buy it from the town. Villages near the sea, of course, are also, that is to say, there is still great potential for selling seafood.

At present, the key is how to stand out from the crowd of fishermen who sell seafood. This is the crux of the problem. Without a fishing boat, it is impossible to sell fresh fish. The only way to start is to start with dry goods.

Speaking of dry goods, laver is what I am best at. To do business, I naturally have to start with the one I am most familiar with. At present, no laver is sold in this market, probably because of the influence of that rumor!

But it is not an easy task to break the rumor of the sea hair. It is very difficult to think about it. How can the sacredness in people's imagination be easily changed by myself....

"Sister-in-law three, let's go to the teahouse over there, have a sip of tea, and warm up before leaving!" The two turned around for a while, Xiao Yun gently shook her arm, interrupting her contemplation, and chuckled Said, "I treat you."

"Then, let's go!" Forget it, don't think about it, take your time!

Jingxin Teahouse is the only teahouse in Longtan Town. The store is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor is a private room, and the downstairs hall entertains passing individual customers.

Waves of melodious piano sounds slowly flowed down from upstairs, as crisp as gently dripping spring water.

The aunt and sister-in-law found a table in the corner and sat down. .

"What tea do you two drink?" The sharp-eyed teahouse clerk quickly came over, with a white cloth on his shoulders, and he was dressed like a sophomore.

"Big bowl of tea, the kind that doesn't need to be refilled." Xiao Yun seemed to be a frequent visitor here.

There is no need to refill the water, which means just sit and go, one copper coin is enough, and the one that refills the water needs two copper coins. Xiao Yun calculated this account very carefully.

Suddenly, with a bang, a gong sounded in the hall, with a long and deafening lingering sound.

The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.

"Guest officers, everyone is blessed today. Just now, a distinguished person has booked the second floor of the small shop, including your tea money. Let's drink to your heart's content! All are free of charge." The owner of the teahouse, Gao Gao Thin, with a kind face.

There was cheers in the hall.Everyone straightened their necks and looked upstairs, but they couldn't see anything. They could only hear the soft sound of the piano. It seemed that this generous nobleman was still an elegant person.

"Sister-in-law three, we're lucky today, hehe, we saved a penny!" Xiao Yun smiled with eyebrows crooked, and said in a low voice, "Let's sit here for a while longer, such a good thing is not easy to come across."

Lin Xueman was also very happy. It seems that there are quite a lot of rich people here, and they will book the venue as soon as they make a move. If you have money, you are good!

She looked around at the people in the teahouse, and everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles.Although I only saved a few pennies, I was still as excited as picking up an ingot.

"Everyone, everyone." The owner of the teahouse came down from the second floor with a smile on his face. He walked to the middle of the hall and stood still, holding a cloth bag in his hand, and said loudly, "The nobleman upstairs also said that today coincides with It's his birthday, I'm in a good mood, and I specially wrapped up some silver for you to celebrate."

Wow!Everyone was in an uproar.Good shit luck, today, who the hell is so generous?Wouldn't it be to make fun of them?

But when he saw that the owner of the teahouse had taken out money bags one by one from the cloth bag and put them in their hands one by one, he woke up like a dream and thanked them repeatedly.

There was joy in the teahouse!

There is such a good thing!Lin Xueman and Xiao Yun looked at each other and smiled.

"This belongs to the two girls, please keep it safe." The owner of the teahouse finally walked up to the two sisters-in-law, looked at them calmly, took out two slightly bulging purses from his sleeves, and put them in the in front of people.

"It's really silver!" Xiao Yun was so happy that he almost jumped up, and hurriedly picked up the two packs of silver, happy.

"Thank you for your gift, thank you, boss." A big pie fell from the sky, and Lin Xueman naturally would not refuse. Seeing that all the silver in the purse had been carefully replaced with broken silver, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and then raised her head involuntarily. I looked at the second floor, but couldn't see anything.

The aunt and sister-in-law sat for a while, took the silver, and left the teahouse excitedly.

Room on the second floor.

Xu Yuanqi sat by the window, watching the two excited figures gradually disappear into the crowd.

"I have packed five taels for each of them according to the young master's order, and one tael for the others." The owner of the teahouse walked up to him respectfully and said softly.

"Understood!" The person in front of the window replied lightly.

"Young master wants to help them, why don't you show up in person, so that they don't know that you are helping them." After a long circle, I gave away five taels?

"She won't receive money for no reason, you don't understand!" Xu Yuanqi smiled lightly, "Besides, too much money will make people suspicious, and it will be self-defeating."

He picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "Have you checked everything I asked you to check?"

"Find it out! Lin Xueman was indeed forced to marry Xiao Chengyu because her cousin regretted her marriage, but Xiao Chengyu was furious because of this matter, so the two have been at odds."

"So, the two of you have no engagement, but got married by accident?"

"Yes, Lin Xuechuan, not Lin Xueman, is written in the Xiao family's letter of appointment."

"So that's how it is!" Xu Yuanqi put down his tea bowl and sighed softly, seemingly helpless.

"My lord, the master wrote again, asking when will you go home?" The owner of the teahouse paused, then asked cautiously, "The master is just afraid that you will delay your fame..."

"Understood! Then you can write to my father and tell my father that I will go home in a few days and prepare to participate in Chunwei next year, so that he doesn't have to worry about me forgetting my fame because of my study abroad!" Xu Yuanqi pondered for a moment, then said, "As for you , just continue to open the store here, you don’t have to follow me around, maybe, one day, I will come back.”

"Yes." The owner of the teahouse replied with a hint of relief in his tone.
