After finishing breakfast, Lin Wanwan took the big wooden bucket, stuffed a large sack inside, and walked out of the house with her maids Hongyan and Kunlun.
Also coming out were Xiao Chong and his bodyguard Shuqi, then Xiao Qingyu and the lynx, the mute girl A Jing, Kunlun slave Ali, Song Sulan, and at the end was Sun Hueyao and a male servant named Wu Wanqing.
.
Wu Wanqing, like Sun Che Yao, had always been hanging out at the dock before joining Lin Wanwan. He was a wandering and helpless wanderer.
During the time when the county government was strictly arresting beggars and wanderers to serve as laborers, he sold himself into Lin Wanwan's family as a servant.
In the entire Luang County, there are only two good places for people like Wu Wanqing, one is to join the county government's delinquent team, and the other is to work as an errand in the residence of the Lord of Le'an Township.
As a newly rising upstart, the Lin family has no support from the family background. The servants in the family are all bought from the market, rather than like other nobles who mostly have children from the family. This gives this group of wandering people a place to take refuge.
Opportunity to come over.
Compared with the group of servants who look after the house in Xiaoxi Town, staying in the Linjiazhuang house is naturally a bit boring. After all, there is no place for entertainment in the countryside. But those who stay in the house in the country have high wages and good food and treatment.
Lin Wanwan now raises more people and animals. In addition to the vegetables grown in her own land, several vegetable sellers and butchers in Wanghai Town have established long-term cooperation contracts with Lin Zhai. Every day at dawn, they drag carts to Lin Wanwan's house.
deliver goods.
Occasionally, Sun Chueyao would go out to purchase and replenish some supplies in person. This Wu Wanqing was one of Sun Chueyao's right-hand assistants.
Just like now when Lin Wanwan and her daughter go to catch the sea, Sun Cheyao and Wu Wanqing, who grew up on the beach at the pier, naturally have to follow them.
Their mission is not to rush overseas to buy overseas goods, but to protect the safety of their two masters.
Although the Linjiazhuang clan members who went to sea together were all very aquatic, they were not safety guards who kept an eye on their master. It would be dangerous to rely on them, and they must have their own people to keep an eye on them at all times.
Xiao Yixun didn't come to catch the sea in the end. She hated both the sun and the crowds. She definitely didn't want to join in the fun when there were a lot of people going to the sea.
Lin Wanwan, Xiao Qingyu and Hongyan all wore hats on their heads, which were considered sun hats. The other maids did not follow and were working at home.
Such a big house needs to be cleaned every day, the flowers and plants in the garden need to be maintained, and there are many things at home that cannot be separated from people.
Now that Xiao Qingyu has a personal female guard, A Jing, Yun Shang no longer has to follow her all the time. She just stays at home to do things. She is also in charge of the inner courtyard and the warehouse.
Walking all the way to the seaside, tribesmen stopped from time to time to say hello to Lin Wanwan and Xiao Chong.
Today there are not many people going to the sea, just some old and weak soldiers. Compared with the harvest from the sea, the work in the workshop is more important, and most of the strong men have boarded the boats and gone to sea to fish.
Lin Wanwan asked Xiao Chong: "Cousin, can you swim?"
Xiao Chong rolled up his sleeves and replied: "I'll see you soon."
"What about Shuqi? Can you play water?"
Shuqi, who was carrying a wooden bucket, heard about him and hurriedly replied: "Jun Huixiang, I know how to drink some water."
"That's good, otherwise I have to go to the workshop and invite brothers Meng Jin and Meng Xing to escort you."
"That's not necessary."
Xiao Chong looked at the beach in front of him and showed a confident smile.
He said he had a brief knowledge but was just modest. In fact, when he was a child, he often swam in the lotus pond in his yard. The water quality was very good, and with the blessing of internal strength, it is now no problem to swim hundreds of meters underwater in one breath.
At this time, the sun was rising over the sea, but at that time, the tide had not completely receded, and the waves were still hitting the rocks on the seaside one after another.
Not all beaches will have the entire beach exposed when the tide recedes on the 15th or 15th day of the lunar month. Most of the beaches along the coast of Luan County will not be completely exposed.
The beach in Linjiazhuang is suitable for shopping for overseas goods. It is not a pure beach, but a stone beach with more stones than sand.
The water level will continue to recede before the complete beach will be exposed, but the tide here has never receded that low.
Even so, it’s no problem to rush to sea to buy goods. Now the tide has just begun to recede, and the water level has reached the bare feet. You have to take off your shoes and go into the water barefoot, and use your hand to catch the water with a net.
The sea water in Luan County has always been very yellow and turbid, with low visibility, even in the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago.
This is not because of serious pollution, but because the Yangtze River and other rivers drain a huge amount of sediment, which is deposited at the mouth of the sea. The sand content of the seawater is very high, which makes everything appear yellowish brown.
Therefore, there are many changes in the sea into mulberry fields in this area, and many land areas are formed by the accumulation of sediment.
This is not only the case in Luan County, but also in Haicheng. Much of Haicheng in later generations is still submerged in the sea.
"Cousin, let's go to the reef to dig for oyster jelly. It's November now, which is a good time to eat oyster jelly!" Lin Wanwan looked up and observed, then pointed to the reef area and said.
"Okay, listen to my cousin." Xiao Chong didn't rush across the sea, so naturally Lin Wanwan did whatever she said.
"Ah Jing, Ali, Sun Hueyao, you guys are protecting the little lady fishing for shrimps in the shoal, and don't go any further down, you know?" Lin Wanwan was afraid of encountering ghost waves again, so she didn't let little Qingyu follow.
"Here!" Sun Chueyao bent down and saluted, "Don't worry, madam, I will protect you."
"That's good."
Xiao Qingyu knew that she had to listen to her mother when rushing to sea, otherwise she would be sent to the shore in a minute, so she naturally would not object.
Anyway, she has found several shrimps near her feet, and she is very happy to catch them with her hand net.
After arranging for Xiao Qingyu, Lin Wanwan took Hongyan, Wu Wanqing, Kunlun and Xiao Chong to the reef area quickly.
Lin Wanwan dug out a big one, used the tools she brought to pry it open, and exclaimed, "What a fat oyster!"
Oysters are oysters, which are also called oyster yellows. They are different names for the same thing. People on the beach in Luan County often call them oyster yellows.
This kind of thing was hyped up by Lin Wanwan in Luan County. Originally, except for people living on the beach, other people in Luan County didn't like to eat it.
Lin Wanwan used the name of Mr. Sun's descendant to publicize this stuff from a medical point of view to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang. In addition, the meat was indeed delicious, especially in line with the taste of Tang Dynasty people who loved to eat fish and meat, and the market was immediately opened.
"Ha! Langjun, Langjun, look there is a big piece of abalone here!" Shuqi also discovered something good.
"Then what are you waiting for? Dig quickly!" Lin Wanwan kept her hands on her hands and urged Xiao Chong.
"Hmm." Xiao Chong was rushing to sea for the first time. He had not yet entered the state. He followed Lin Wanwan's example and pried the protruding rocks a few times, and finally succeeded in prying the oyster yellow, and his mood became brighter.
Because it was his first time to pry open an oyster, Xiao Chong accidentally pried open one of the oysters. The slippery liquid inside immediately flowed onto the palm of his hand, giving him a strange feeling.
