Chapter 375: Open Sea Mussels
The name Yakumo Town used to be called Yakumo Village, and the village was a large village in Hokkaido at that time, and Yakumo Village became a first-class village in Hokkaido on the first day of the month of the year of Yijiu Zeroqi, and on January 1, 1919, Yakumo Village was restructured into Yakumo Town, and the Yakumo Town Hall was the most prosperous place in the entire town, and it can be reduced to the administrative and commercial center of the entire town.
Chi Shang Zhenyi drove a jeep, carrying his four wives slowly in the dense crowd, and drove quickly forward at a speed of five meters a minute.
After coming out of the hot spring mountain, it took Ikesho Maki less than an hour to arrive at the Yakumo Town Hall, and it happened that it was the day when the nearby villagers were gathering together, so their car could only move slowly through the crowd like a snail.
Glancing at the dense flow of people outside the car window, Chi Shang Zhenyi estimated that if he drove at this speed, he might not be able to reach the Yakumo Town Special Forces Branch Station before dark, and he would wait to spend the night in the car at that time.
The reason why they were moving so slowly was that the crowd didn't give way to them, in fact, when these rural people saw Chi Shang Zhenyi's jeep, they all automatically made room for them to get out of the way.
It's just that on the road that is not wide, these villagers have placed all kinds of goods, and it is very troublesome for these people to move these goods, and it is precisely because of this that the car is so slow.
"Ladies, I see that it is still very early outside, and I listen to the excitement outside, otherwise we will walk over the rest of the way, and it will happen that my husband will take you to visit this market. Feeling that the road ahead was really a little impassable, Chi Shang Zhenyi immediately parked the jeep in a relatively spacious place, turned his head and said his thoughts to his four wives.
Hearing her husband's words, Baidi Shacai, who had been looking out the window, immediately responded: "Okay, okay." It's been a long time since we've visited such a lively market, and this is a rare opportunity, so we must have a good visit with my husband. ”
"Okay, in that case, let's get off. ”
After the words fell, Chi Shang Zhenyi opened the car door and took his four wives out of the jeep, but he had just gotten out of the car when he heard a 'hula' sound all around. Looking up at the surroundings, I found that the villagers around the market were carefully looking at them with a lot of awe and curiosity, although many people looked at them, but none of them dared to approach, just looked at them from a distance, as if they were looking at a cherished animal.
Chi Shang Zhenyi was a little unaccustomed to everyone's eyes, but he couldn't open his mouth to scold these people for leaving, that seemed a little too domineering, so he could only choose to ignore these people's gazes.
'Just look at it. Anyway, if you look at it, you won't lose two taels of meat, so you should let these villagers gain knowledge. Ji Shang really meant to comfort himself in his heart.
It's no wonder that the surrounding villagers gathered around to watch Ikesho and his group, in this part of Hokkaido, Shinto activities are very rare, and some villagers have not even heard of it, and they coldly saw a strangely dressed young man with four young girls and samurai getting out of the 'luxurious' car, and they all regarded it as a novelty.
Ignore the curious gazes around you. After Ji Shang Zhenyi locked the car door, he plunged into the crowd with his four wives. When he started to visit the market, he quickly felt the joy of visiting the market, because there were really many knick-knacks he had never seen before.
"How do you sell this thing?" Chi Shang Zhenyi took his four wives to a small stall, pointed to a pile of huge sea mussels, and asked the stall owner.
Togo Tsukuro saw a group of strangely dressed nobles coming towards his stall from afar, and after the other party opened his mouth to ask questions. He immediately bowed down and greeted, "Hello nobles, these black sea mussels under one kilogram are one yen, three kilograms are five yen each, and more than five kilograms are twenty yen. ”
"And those white mussels are twice the price of the same black mussels, and these mussels have a chance to produce pearls. Of course, the white mussel has a greater chance of producing pearls, and there may be a very small chance of producing black pearls, each of which is worth a lot of money, if you can dig up a sea mussel with black pearls, then you will make a lot of money. ”
Speaking of which, Togo Tsukuro seemed to feel that it was a little difficult for people to spend so much money just with illusory pearls, so he hurriedly continued: "And even if there are no pearls in the sea mussels you bought, you won't waste them. ”
"We can make mussel soup for you on the spot to eat, these mussels are very tonic, after eating, the arrangement has a nourishing effect on your own kidney qi, and it will increase the time of intercourse. ”
After finishing speaking, he rubbed his hands with a smile, waiting for the noble man in front of him to reply, he could see that this noble person should be not bad for money, and he was very likely to sell a few big mussels this time.
Chi Shang Zhenyi really doesn't care too much about pearls or something, but the other party said that this thing can tonify the kidneys and aphrodisiac, which is quite appetizing to him, and it just so happens that he is in a hurry to have a child now, and there is no harm in nourishing things many times.
Thinking of this, Chi Shang Zhenyi immediately replied: "Since this is the case, then I'll pick a few to eat." ”
After finishing speaking, Chi Shang Zhenyi said directly to the four wives who followed behind him: "Come, come and pick one to try your luck, this thing is said to have a chance to produce pearls, if you buy pearls, husband, I will make jewelry for you." ”
For jewelry, as long as it is a woman, there is nothing that I don't care, and this buying sea mussels and digging pearls is also a very interesting thing, and the four sisters in Baidi all came around and began to pick sea mussels, and the four of them chatted together about which one might have pearls.
Togo Tsukuro watched the four female samurai beside this noble person come directly to the most expensive white sea mussel place to choose, and at the moment he was excited in his heart, if the five people bought a large white sea mussel, then he would have two hundred yuan in his pocket, which was a big deal.
Looking at the four wives who were chattering and picking out sea mussels, Chi Shang Zhenyi also began to choose his own sea mussels, for these sea mussels, to be honest, if he used his mental power to scan, he could pick out all the ones with pearls, but he didn't do that, because there was no need for that. He is not short of that money, he chooses by luck, and he is just playing.
The speed at which women buy things has always been slow, and Chi Shang Zhenyi has been picking for a while here, and the four sisters of Baidi over there have finished choosing.
Togo Tsukuro carried the sea mussels bought by the four female nobles in a bamboo basket, and he was now happy in his heart. secretly praised himself for his good vision, and he really didn't guess wrong.
"Husband, look, this is the sea mussel we picked, do you think there will be a black pearl in it?" Just sitting down, Baidi Shanaibai asked impatiently towards his husband.
"Yes, husband, can you guess if there will be pearls in these four sea mussels that our sister bought?" Baidi Shacai continued to ask with the words of his third sister.
Looking at his excited wife, Chi Shang was really reluctant to spoil the two of them, so he used his mental power to check it out. found that there was no pearl in it that the two were looking forward to, but in order to leave some suspense for the two, he did not say his answer.
"Who knows? With such a thick shell, it's hard to guess, but the husband believes in the luck of Shanai and Shacai, and you should be able to touch it, hehe~~~" After saying a word against his will, Chi Shang smiled at the two wives sincerely.
I heard the words of encouragement from my husband. The hearts of the two of them were suddenly full of confidence, and at that moment, Baidi Shacai turned his head to the mussel seller who was standing on the side and said, "Help us pry these sea mussels open." I'll start with me. ”
Togo Tsukuro, who had been standing aside, heard no one's conversation and found that these four beautiful samurai girls were actually the young man's women, which made him feel envious in his heart.
It is already ten blessings for a man to marry four wives who are like flowers and jades, and the four wives of this noble man are actually four sisters. Such a blessing is enviable.
"Hi, your honor, please wait a moment. ”
After the words fell, Togo Tsukuro immediately took out a tool like a cone from his waist, inserted it into the crack of the sea mussel, and then pinned it left and right a few times. The fingers of both hands reached into the crack that was pried open, and with a sharp force, the two shells of the sea mussel were pulled open.
Seeing that the sea mussel she had chosen was pried open, Baidi Shacai hurriedly snatched it over, picked up the bamboo chopsticks on the table and quickly pulled it among the mussel meat, and began to look for the perfect black pearl in her imagination.
Baidi Shacai carefully pulled for nearly three minutes, and he was about to grind the mussel meat before he stopped unwillingly, and at the same time complained to himself: "It's really annoying, why can't such a big sea mussel not even give birth to a pearl, it's really useless." ”
Saying unintentionally, listening intentionally, the words in Baidi Shacai's mouth made the other three sisters suddenly feel that if there were pearls in their sea mussels, would it mean that they would have the opportunity to conceive their husband's blood in the near future, which made the three sisters suddenly have great expectations for the sea mussels in front of them.
Hearing her sister's complaining voice, Baidi Shanai, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, hurry up and pry my sea mussel open." ”
Looking at Shanai's wife, who was still refreshed after closing her eyes after speaking, Ji Shang's true meaning could be distinguished by the shape of her mouth, she had just made a wish, and the wish was 'I hope that pearls can be born in the sea mussels, so as to bring good luck.' ’
'I made a wish, and this one is empty. Chi Shang really wanted to be sincere, and he secretly felt sorry for Shanai's wife.
Chi Shang Zhenyi's words in his heart are naturally inaudible to outsiders, and after seeing the sea mussel being broken, Baidi Shanai over there immediately dragged the sea mussel in front of him like Shacai just now, and then began to use chopsticks to pull it all over the clam shell, and finally stopped with a look of pity.
"What, isn't this thing a pearl, such a big size has grown in vain, it really makes people look forward to it in vain. Putting down the chopsticks in her hand, Momochi Sana complained with a disappointed face, obviously annoyed that she didn't dig up the pearl.
Since ancient times, there have been no fathers and sons in the shopping mall, and there are no sisters in this love field, since they knew that the first child would inherit the four-rank middle-level fire demon from their husbands, the four sisters of Baidi have all secretly cheered themselves up in their hearts.
Now, although the four sisters will not stumble in their tricks, if they can see that their work is blocked by her sisters, then they will also have a little happiness in their hearts.
Here, Baiji Saya and Baiji Saya saw their two younger sisters fail to open mussels one after another, and they both have a trace of joy in their hearts, and at the same time, they are afraid that the result of their opening of mussels will be the same.
According to the order, the next sea mussel to be opened is Baidi Shamei, although she is not urging like her two younger sisters now, but her eyes fall on the sea mussel, it can still be seen that she is still very nervous at this time.
"Let's go"
With a sound, a stubborn sea mussel was finally pried open, Baidi Shamei reached out to betray the mussel in the hands of the mussel man, picked up the chopsticks that had been prepared long ago, and the scholar is now the same as the two sisters, turning over the mussel meat, but in the end, there was no gain, so he could only stop with a bitter face.
Baidi Saya on the side looked at her three younger sisters who chose sea mussels and none of them bloomed pearls, which made her a little more nervous about her sea mussels, but no matter how nervous she was, it was useless, when she didn't even find a pearl shadow after pulling the sea mussels around, she didn't gain anything like her sister.
"It's a pity that the eldest sister doesn't have it in this. Although Baidi Shacai said words of pity, the expression on her face was definitely not pity, but with a hint of happiness.
Like Hyakuchi Shacai, Hyakuchi Sana on the side also had a fortunate look, only Hyakuchi Sami had no expression, but only the two of them didn't extinguish this look, which was enough to choke Hyakuchi Saya angrily.
'These little white-eyed wolves, I really took them so big for nothing, and I was really angry to see that my sea mussels had no pearls, and I was so happy to see them. After retracting his glancing gaze, Saya Momochi secretly complained in his heart.
The faces of the four sisters of Baidi were not very good, not only Chi Shang really felt it, but Togo Tsukuro on the side also saw it, and at the same time he secretly said in his heart: "Usually, there should be pearls in four or five big white mussels, even if there are no good pearls, it will not be nothing, and now these people are obviously angry, I hope that the last one in the hands of the nobles can bloom pearls." ’
Chi Shang Zhenyi watched several people look at him in unison, and immediately understood what they meant, now there is only one sea mussel left on this table, and they all want to see if there can be a pearl in their hands.
