Chapter 312 Receipt of Seafood Monthly Pass)(1/2)
Fang Zhiyuan and the others were very interested in this idea of traveling to the sea.
Although the route they took when they came here was not far from the seaside, they had never been to the real seaside. They had always walked on the roads near villages and mountains.
Jiayin used her spiritual sense to look over and saw some women, old people, and children walking back and forth on the beach carrying wooden buckets, using small wooden sticks to pull them to look for some small fish, shrimps and fish washed up by the sea water.
Some shellfish.
Jiayin is not very interested in those things, but thinks it is quite fun to do these things.
Especially the children, when they pick up something larger, they will shout excitedly and smile brightly, as if they have found some treasure.
Liu Yu'er and Yang Huiyun were very curious, especially Yang Huiyun, who had not been to the beach for so long after coming to Hainan County, which was quite strange.
The two couldn't help but chatted with several villagers they had met before.
Several villagers not only told them the best time to go there, how to find and catch them, but also taught them the cooking methods of shellfish and how to make them the most delicious.
Of course, most of their methods here are boiling or steaming, and then adding some seasonings to remove the fishy smell, or making some dipping sauce for dipping.
After all, the seasonings here are not very complete, unlike the rich products in the interior.
But it's different in Fang Zhiyuan's ears. People who are good at cooking will naturally think of many cooking methods when they hear the ingredients.
After going through the available seasonings in my mind, I listed quite a few that can remove the fishy smell and enhance the freshness. You can completely change it to your favorite taste.
At this time, Yu Fugui saw that the villagers had almost arrived, so he stood on a large flat rock and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please calm down first! Listen to me!"
After everyone gradually calmed down, he continued: "I believe you all know that a caravan came to collect seafood from our village a few days ago, and told us that there was a disaster in the north!
But today some young brothers came to our village, and they came from the north. They told me that the north had not been hit by disasters at all, and that the weather had been good for the past few years..."
Hearing this, the villagers below began to talk one after another.
"What's going on? Why do they lie to us? What's the benefit to them?"
"Yes, yes, what's the benefit of just cheating us? And they took our seafood at a high price and left."
"Isn't that just losing money and making a fuss?"
"That is to say, they are not fools..."
"..."
Yu Fugui quickly raised his hand and pressed it down.
"Everyone, be quiet for a moment and listen to what I have to say! Those people are fools again. I have no way of knowing. It's just that the young people in our village were moved after hearing this. They went to collect seafood and even went to the sea.
.
Just now, I asked Yusheng and Yufa to inquire about it. There are also young people from the two nearby villages who left the sea earlier than our village, and they haven’t returned yet!
It is said that they originally planned to go out for three or four days, but they didn’t bring enough food. It was supposed that the food on the ship should have been gone, but it turned out that they still hadn’t come back after more than two days! They were already preparing to go out to sea to look for it.
What I want to say is, should we all go out and look for it together? To be honest, I heard a few brothers say today that we were deceived, and I have been feeling a little uneasy.
Everyone also knows that several of my Yu family’s nephews are on board, and I feel uneasy, lest something happen to these children.
I suggest that we go out to sea to search together. If nothing happens, that’s fine. If something happens, we can rescue him earlier."
After hearing what the village chief said, the people below started talking again.
"What do you mean? The sea has been calm these days. Why haven't the young people from the next village come back?"
"Something must have happened, otherwise I wouldn't have come back after two days."
"Oops! Oh my God, my third son went with me! Will everything be okay? Oh my God, my third son hasn't gotten married yet..."
"Okay, okay, don't say such unlucky words, didn't the village chief say that? Just go and have a look, it doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong."
"Then let's set out early tomorrow morning to take a look! We'll quickly prepare food and water today, and also check out the fishing boat..."
Normally, it had only been three or four days since the young people from their village went to sea, and it hadn't been long, so they wouldn't be worried.
But after listening to the village chief's words, he said that the merchant was lying to them, so why did he lie to them? This lie, which could be exposed outside the boundaries of Hainan County, was definitely not a lie to them to go to the north.
If these young people, including young people from several surrounding villages, went to sea together and haven't come back yet, there would be some problems.
Families with children who went to sea began to become nervous, and they urged the village chief to quickly organize people to go to sea to search. They were also afraid of what might happen.
Although there are many children in each family, they have finally grown into adults and are strong and capable. They are the backbone of the family. Once something happens, the sky inside the family will collapse.
Seeing that everyone knew the seriousness, Yu Fugui began to organize. The women went to prepare food and water brought out from the sea, and the experienced old men went to inspect the fishing boats to see if there was anything that needed to be repaired. He ordered twenty body-strengthening bodies.
Those who are strong will set up a boat and go to sea tomorrow.
It's getting late today, the sun has already set to the west, and there's no time to go out to sea now. It's hard to figure out the direction when sailing at night, and it's more likely to cause accidents.
They usually go out to sea at dawn and arrive at their fishing spot just before dark.
You can anchor near the island first, rest there at night, and then go fishing nearby during the day. This is the safest way.
In this way, all the families who were going to sea tomorrow went back to prepare, and Jiayin and the others followed them back to the village chief's house.
Everyone was silent along the way. It was too early to say anything else. We had to go and have a look first. It would be best if we could come back safely.
After returning to the village chief's house, Fang Zhiwen and Fang Zhiyuan stepped forward and said to Fugui: "Uncle village chief, we brothers are all skilled in the field. I just heard what the village chief uncle said that if we encounter danger, it should not be at sea."
The storm was most likely due to encountering pirates.
Why not let us brothers go to sea together, maybe we can be of some help then."
Yu Fugui was stunned for a moment, and then felt happy, thinking that these young people had come all the way from the north, but all of them had glowing faces and were not embarrassed at all, so he knew that these people must be capable.
When ordinary people walk this far, even the caravans look yellow and skinny from the dust, and even the big bosses look like they have taken off their clothes.
After all, it was a long journey to sleep in the open air, so he would not be able to eat well or sleep well. Unlike these people, even the three little girls were all fresh and healthy, and they did not look like they had come from a long way away.
The other party took the initiative to help, of course he wanted it. But...
Yu Fugui said hesitantly: "You came from the north, so you must have never been on a boat, right? The boats on the sea are not as stable as those on the lakes and rivers. They are all rocking hard due to the waves.
When taking a boat for the first time, some people will be so dizzy that they can’t get up, vomiting and diarrhea..."
Fang Zhiyuan and others were also a little hesitant. They had never been on a sea-going ship and they really didn't know whether they would faint or not.
Jiayin interjected: "It's okay, it's okay. We have prepared a potion. After drinking it, you will feel refreshed and you won't get seasick."
Although Yu Fugui still doesn't believe it, since the other party said so, he can try it tomorrow. If it doesn't work, let them rest in the cabin.
But it sounds like the little girl wants to go. Could it be that she wants to go too?
He quickly said: "A few brothers can go out to sea with you, but women are not allowed on the ship. We have a tradition here that you must not take women on the ship when you go to sea, otherwise it will be very unlucky."
When she heard the good news, she was a little disappointed. If this happened, wouldn't she not be able to take the boat?
However, the other party also said that this was their tradition, and she couldn't force it. She thought that if she didn't want to take a boat, she wouldn't take a boat. She could swim directly to the island tomorrow.
Anyway, as long as she saves the person, the merit belongs to her, and it doesn't matter whether she takes the boat or not.
This sea is her world. Even if she can't use the teleportation technique, she can still penetrate it with a fierce attack.
Of course, the only regret is that it can't show its true form, otherwise it can fly over directly, but it will scare a lot of people.
After all, she can't be invisible. With such a big dragon, how many people might see it!
At this time, the villagers who had agreed to sell them dry goods came over with carts and baskets on poles.
The Fang brothers looked at the dry goods and were a little dazzled. They didn't recognize many of them. They carefully asked about the names and methods. They classified the items and weighed them. Then Fang Zhiyuan took out a pen and paper and wrote down the names and methods one by one.
in every category.
Take it with you when you send it back, so people at home will know what to do when they see it.
One after another, some villagers came over with goods from the sea, and they didn't stop until they had collected nearly 600 kilograms.
The main reason is that they all look good and want it, and they didn't tell lies before. They do have a shop, but they don't sell dry goods. They sell it in a restaurant, and they can still make a lot of money.
silver.
After all, Nanyue County is not close to the sea, so these are rare goods there and are freshly eaten.
They gave a piece of silver for every piece of money they received. They were all given in cash. Yu's family was stunned when they saw it. How much cash did they bring?
What was given to them just now was a bank note. They thought it was also given to the villagers, and they were still worried. After all, many villagers were illiterate, and some people had never seen a bank note, so they probably didn't dare to accept it.
Now take a look, okay! What the other party paid was either copper coins or scraps of silver without any change at all. I don’t know how much these people brought, but they paid it all.
Looking at the pile of dry goods, Yu Fugui was worried about them, how to get rid of them?
Fang Zhiwen winked at Jiayin, who nodded in understanding.
I pretended to go to the two cars and walked around, called Pangpang out, and put all the luggage in the cars into storage bags.
When Yu Fugui saw Pangpang, he was very surprised! He didn't expect that there was a beast hidden in the car!
I can't blame them for daring to go out with so much silver. It turns out there is a beast guarding the car.
He looked at the bear's paw, which was as big as his own head. Anyone who dared to think wrong would be slapped to death!
Although there is no such animal as a bear here, the village chief is relatively knowledgeable. He has heard from outsiders that he is frightened by such a huge size!
This time, the good news didn't explain that Pang Pang was harmless. When they paid the money just now, a few people had something wrong with their eyes. They must have some bad intentions.
Those people didn't come to deliver any groceries, but came with them and stood by to watch the fun.
To be continued...
