Xiao Xianghua was going back to Qiantang, and Lin Wanwan prepared earthenware rituals for her and arranged for people to sail the ship to escort her.
Lin Wanwan owns two boats given by her senior brother. One of them was completely transformed into a fishing boat. It is used every day to carry fish, dry fish and dried shrimps. Over the past six months, the boat has been filled with dirt that cannot be dispersed or washed.
It smells fishy and cannot accommodate noble people, so naturally the other boat can no longer be used as a fishing boat.
This luxurious ship, bought from the Lu family in Haicheng, is parked quietly on the pier every day, vacant. This is the luxury of being a noble. It can be left alone, but it cannot be lived without.
At times like now, this boat can be used to escort charming guests. We can't let Xiao Xianghua take a boat full of fish smell, or rent an outsider's boat.
After seeing off Xiao Xianghua, Lin Wanwan walked to the side of the workshop to see the nearby victims who came to collect corn and duck eggs today. She suddenly heard a wave of greetings of "Good morning, Mr. Le'an Township" and "Good morning, Mr. Le'an Township."
This hurricane caused varying degrees of damage to three villages in the same area, including Linjiazhuang, Lujiazhuang, and Dafengzhuang. Although there were no casualties, the loss of houses, money and food alone was enough to kill people, because the poor
It cannot withstand the tossing of wind and waves.
So Lin Wanwan took the opportunity to show kindness to her surroundings. If she wanted to take root here, she had to turn her surroundings into her supporters. Ordinary people don't understand any big principles. As long as they give rice and eggs, they are the best in the world.
So noble!
If you want people around you to be obedient, you have to give benefits and put on airs.
Of course, since it is a favor, you must not leave out your own people.
Linjiazhuang is Lin Wanwan's foundation, her hometown, the place where she will risk everything to protect her to the end, and is naturally the focus of her kindness.
If Lin Wanwan treats the people of the Lin Family Village the same as outsiders, even if she gives them the same amount, everyone will inevitably have their own thoughts. After all, there is a difference between closeness and distance.
But simply giving money is the stupidest way to show favor, so Lin Wanwan will never do this.
After the last hurricane, the people in Linjiazhuang found a lot of good goods while searching the sea. Lin Wanwan asked them to trade the goods with her for tiles that could be used to cover the roof. There were too many leaks in this hurricane, and every household
Tiles are needed to repair the roof.
Lin Wanwan used green tiles in exchange for the seafood in the hands of her tribe, which was better than copper coins. After all, good tiles cannot be bought just as you want. The Tang Dynasty was not as developed as later generations, and commerce was not as developed as money.
All can be purchased.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were many things that people wanted to buy but there was no place to buy them. Even if there was a place to buy them, not everyone had the energy to go there and buy them. As I said before, this was an era where transportation was basically by walking, and ordinary people who would never leave the village would never leave the village.
, there are many of them.
More importantly, to buy something in Datang, you must first be qualified to buy it, not have the money to buy it.
Just like Lin Wanwan, who came to Datang early last year. She was as rich as the rest of the world thanks to Modern Pepper, but she could only rent a house instead of buying one.
Why?
Just because she is not qualified to buy a house.
To buy a house in Datang, you have to have a guarantor and the neighbors to give up first. It is not just something you can buy if you have money. The same goes for green tiles. Such good things are not something ordinary farmers can buy.
Exchanging seafood for green tiles with Lin Wanwan is naturally a huge profit for the Lin family villagers. Everyone understands that this is actually Lin Wanwan helping everyone!
For Lin Wanwan, it was also a big profit. Because this time there were several live dugongs in the cargo, which is a functionally extinct species in China!
The last dugong was released by Lin Wanwan into modern times. This time when we encountered it, Lin Wanwan naturally moved it back to modern times and released it.
Although the rare animals were released this time and there were no changes visible to the naked eye in the time and space gate, Lin Wanwan was certain that this was definitely a process in which quantitative changes determined qualitative changes.
Moving rare animals into the modern world must not stop, and it will never go wrong to contribute to the biodiversity of modern society.
In addition to dugongs, Lin Wanwan also had another harvest. To be precise, this was not Lin Wanwan's harvest, but Lin Mengjin's.
During the last hurricane day fishing, Lin Mengjin caught two Eastern Star Spots and a Western Star Spot. This kind of fish is a top quality fish both in ancient and modern times.
But this is not the best treasure Lin Mengjin has found. Inside the conch he gave to Lin Wanwan, there is a real treasure hidden in it - conch beads!
Although conch beads are not as valuable as dragon beads, they are definitely a valuable treasure. Conch beads that can be made into jewelry are priced at tens of thousands of dollars per carat in modern times.
Among the two barrels of conches that Lin Mengjin sent to Lin Wanwan that day, one of the conchs was spotted by Xiao Qingyu and kept for several days because of its beautiful texture.
Later, Lin Wanwan jokingly asked if she should cook it and open it to see if there might be dragon balls inside.
Sun Yaoyao smiled and explained that dragon beads don't grow in conches like this, so there's no chance.
But Xiao Qingyu listened to it and decided to play with the conch, completely forgetting that before that, she wanted to keep this conch all the time.
It was such a coincidence that after boiling the conch in the pot, Lin Wanwan actually helped Xiao Qingyu to get two pink conch beads the size of soybeans!
Conch beads, like Melo beads, are only natural and cannot be cultivated artificially. Moreover, the probability of conch beads appearing is also very low. One in five thousand conch beads may appear.
Even if conch beads are discovered, they may not be able to be made into jewelry. In later generations, two to three thousand conch beads are produced around the world every year, but only 20 to 30% of conch beads can be processed into jewelry.
Things are rare and valuable, so it’s strange that conch beads are not expensive!
Xiao Qingyu was so excited when she discovered the conch beads. How could a little girl resist the temptation of pink jewelry?
Lin Wanwan immediately promised Xiao Qingyu to make a pair of earrings for her and wear them after she has her ears pierced.
The excited little Qingyu couldn't hide her words, so she turned around and pulled out the conch pearl from the conch, and showed off to her friends in school.
In this way, Lin Wanwan took advantage of the situation and asked Wang Du to come over and help Lin Mengjin's house waterproofing, as compensation for the cost of Conch Pearl.
They also built three additional rooms for him. Their three little guys have just one room each, so they no longer have to fight for beds with their parents.
Lin Mengjin never thought that the snails he just picked up could be such a good product. He was so excited that he kept saying: "Little Qingyu is really a lucky treasure, you can find it anywhere!"
Xiao Qingyu was not greedy for merit, and said with a smile: "Uncle Mengjin caught that with his own hands. Uncle Mengjin will remember the first merit!"
The news that there were two conch beads in the snail Lin Mengjin picked up instantly spread throughout Linjiazhuang, making people's eyes turn red with envy!
Exchanging one conch for three brick houses is really a huge profit! I’m so envious!
