Chapter 313: The Sale of Prawns

"Crackle, Cracklepara, Cracklingpara......"

The people of Sakai Village gathered around the seashore and watched the firecrackers set off on the bow of the boat to celebrate the nine oversized shrimps caught by the sea boats in the village.

Standing on the fishing boat docking, the middle-aged village chief Haichuan Principle held a black shrimp-shaped statue in his hand and said: "Folks, our Sakai Village has finally caught a sky-high price of prawns that can be sold for 38 yuan after one hundred and two years. ”

"The shrimp-shaped statue in my hand was carved one hundred and two years ago to commemorate the feat of 'Qingdao Shande', and now as long as we can sell the nine sea shrimps in our hands, then we can carve it again."

"This is very important for us in Sakai Village, because it is about the reputation of our village, and over the years we have gradually forgotten about Sakai Village by the surrounding villages, and those people have forgotten that our village is once famous all over Japan."

"Time can make these outsiders forget our past achievements, but we ourselves cannot forget the glory of our ancestors, and now our Sai Village has another opportunity to become famous throughout Japan."

"The nine prawns caught by the village's fishing team this time are another great opportunity, as long as we can once again do the feat of the village's ancestor 'Aoshima Seondeok', then our Sakai Village will once again be famous throughout the country."

"In this way, not only will the reputation of our Sakai Village be restored, but more importantly, as long as these nine prawns are sold, the villagers' pockets will also be rich."

"You must know that there are only 75 households in our entire village of Sakai now. As long as we can sell these nine prawns at a price of 38 yuan, then each of our villagers can get at least two yen, and the people in the village fishing team will get even more. ”

"And thirty-eight dollars may be just the beginning. Because it has been more than 100 years since the time we were in, we may be able to sell it for a better price, forty-eight dollars, fifty-eight dollars, or even more. ”

When the villagers gathered around below heard the inflammatory words of their village head, Hai Chuan's principle, everyone was very excited, and everyone was fantasizing about how much money they would get when they sold the prawns.

You must know that due to the remote location and inconvenient transportation, the village can be said to be isolated from the world, so it is difficult for things from the outside world to affect this closed small fishing village. Even the various seafood in the village is backlogged in the hands of the villagers because of the constant transportation.

Until now, the various seafood caught in Sakai Village has been supplied to the villagers, and the rest can only be dried into dried seafood. Set aside for annual passer-by purchases.

Although the purchase price offered by these passers-by often seems unisonably low from the outside, it is the best result for the villagers of Sakai Village.

There is nowhere to sell these seafood in the village except for these merchants. Because all the nearby villages have their own fishing teams. The situation in each village is similar, and the backlog of seafood is not exhausted, and it will not buy seafood from other villages at all.

What's more, there are not many rich people in each village, and the spare money in their hands on weekdays is accumulated, and they plan to change some needles and threads when the merchant comes.

It is precisely because of this situation that all the villagers present in Sakai Village are very interested in the words of their village chief, because it is related to their own vital interests. After a buzz, someone from below spoke.

"The village chief. We all understand what you just said, and what you said is right, but who is our village selling this sky-high price of sea-caught prawns? ”

"Yes, who are you selling it to?"

"Village chief, there are no two lords passing by in our village now, those people in the surrounding villages are living the same life as us, and there are even a few villages where the life is worse than ours, just like this, village chief, who do you say these nine sea-caught prawns are going to sell to?"

"Yes, village chief, who do you say these nine prawns are going to sell to?"

"Otherwise, the village chief, you can take these nine prawns, we are all from the same village, we can't ask you for such a high price of thirty-eight, you can just give three yuan eight, or you can make do with two taels of sugar from door to door......"

"It's good to get the ball, or the village chief will take it."

"Village Chief, you can take it......"

I originally felt that the Haichuan principle was good, but when I heard the words of the villagers below, my face was going to be angry, and I scolded these people in my heart, "Bastard, Lao Tzu uses a fart to collect it, and it also pays two taels of sugar, and these people know how to bully me as an honest man." ’

Looking at the villagers who were still clamoring below, Haichuan Principle immediately shouted: "Shut up the fuck Lao Tzu, who is blindly calling Lao Tzu to let him collect these nine prawns." ”

When the villagers below heard the village chief standing on the fishing boat say that if anyone called again, let whoever bought the nine sea-caught prawns, the audience immediately fell silent, and no one spoke, for fear that they would be involved in this unfortunate errand.

After all, that's not a small amount, 38 yuan a prawn, even if you sell them, you can't afford to eat one, because they don't have that stomach.

Seeing the villagers who didn't dare to put a fart below and became honest, Haichuan nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time said secretly in his heart: "A group of people who are diao, it is not easy to talk to them with good words, I have to be a villain to do it, and I can't suppress these people without any means." ’

After glancing around with satisfaction, Haichuan said loudly: "What kind of did you just say, if Lao Tzu had that spare money to buy prawns to eat, Lao Tzu would have lived in the city a long time ago, and he still had to guard those few broken houses." ”

"Can you not always keep your eyes on Lao Tzu day by day, I don't earn much more as a village chief."

"For more than a year, I will eat a few more sea melon seeds than you, so I always have to talk to you people for the people, Lao Tzu, the village chief, is not easy."

The villagers below, who were originally silent, heard the words of the village chief Haichuan. Immediately they all burst out laughing, for they knew that what they had said was true, and that they, the village chief, really had nothing to gain.

Because the village is too poor. There is no oil and water at all, and the village chief is indeed a good person, so he rarely takes advantage of the villagers.

Haichuan didn't pay attention to the laughter of the villagers below, and waited for a while to hear the voice below gradually become quieter before continuing to speak: "I know everyone's mood, they all want to sell these nine sea shrimps for cash, so that they can wait to pull a few feet of flower cloth for their own women and children." That's what I want to do, too. ”

"But the person who bought the shrimp won't be me, and it certainly can't be you, because we don't have that stomach. If you can't eat the sky-high price of 38 yuan of shrimp, the people who can afford to eat it are no longer here at all. ”

Speaking of this, in order to increase some momentum, Haichuan raised his right hand and waved it fiercely twice and continued: "If we want to sell these nine sea shrimps, we people from Sakai Village must be twisted into a rope. In order to sell the prawns, everyone in the village has to contribute. ”

"If we keep these nine shrimps in the water tank at the bottom of the boat. It can survive for seven days without losing its weight, and it will not die for half a month. ”

"That's why we have to go out from house to house in our village, and give me to a nearby village, a nearby intersection, or even climb over Mt. Tengu to the Oma Town Factory at the end of the cape to contact the passenger ships passing by Hokkaido."

"No matter what, we have to find a buyer, this is a major matter related to our entire Sakai Village, and no one can be lazy and slippery."

Hearing the principle of Haichuan, he actually asked a family to go out and find a buyer. There was a buzzing noise from the villagers below, apparently feeling unreliable about this. But no one came out to say anything, because the sky fell and everyone died together, since it was the task of the whole village, it didn't matter.

Seeing that although the villagers below were buzzing, but they didn't say some other strange things, Haichuan Principle felt very satisfied with this, they were poor in Sakai Village, but the people's hearts were still very united, although sometimes these people were a little bit more troublesome, but overall it was good.

"Okay, okay, don't mumble down there, this is not just something you have to do, even I, the village head, will not be an exception, as long as it is the residents of our Sakai Village, we must send someone to participate."

"And don't just think about the disadvantages, here I will tell the people of the whole village, as long as anyone can find the next family to sell the nine sea shrimps in our village, then I will send him a reward for one shrimp, and I will not let him work in vain."

"What's the matter, do the people in the village agree with what I said?"

Hearing Haichuan's principle ask, the villagers below are all 'agree, agree', these villagers will not push out this benefit, although I don't know if anyone can be this lucky person, but it's always good to have something to say.

"Okay, since everyone spends and has no opinions, then everyone will do as I say, now that each family is starting to come out, I'll assign the places where each family is going, Miyata Izunichiro's family is out, and Yayoi Katsuri's family is ......."

It took nearly half an hour for Ikesho to finally arrive at Sakai Village, a fishing village that was once famous throughout Japan.

At this time, Chi Shang Zhenyi was standing under the archway at the entrance of the village, looking at the village chronicles recorded on the big stone tablet standing on the side, which described the beginning and end of the 38 yuan prawn incident.

After reading the content on the stele, Chi Shang couldn't help but pout, and said to the four wives beside him after opening it: "It's worth setting up a monument just like eating shrimp, I really don't know what to say." ”

"And those two lords are just two people eating one and beating down, and they are also famous all over Japan, which is really confusing."

"Today, if there are shrimps as big as the stele in the village, how many husbands and gentlemen have bought them, and then the five of us will also go back to the stele and spread the name of Japan all over Japan, and go into the village to eat shrimp."

Crossing the archway at the entrance of the village, Chi Shang Zhenyi walked into the small fishing village with his four wives, and when he walked into the fishing village, a row of low and dilapidated houses came into the eyes of the five husband and wife, in addition to the strings of seafood hanging under the eaves.

As he walked, he saw that this fishing village called Sakai Village gave Chi Shang the impression that the river sand hid gold, and in his eyes, this village was the gold buried under the river sand.

Saya Baiji, who was beside her husband, looked at these dilapidated houses and sighed: "The conditions here are really bad, even worse than the place where our family lived at the beginning. ”

"Husband, if we can, let's eat more of their seafood, so that we can also eat them."

Baiji Sami, who was following behind her eldest sister, answered: "Yes, husband, what the eldest sister said is right, this village is really poor, husband, you can help them in a while, and by the way, let these people know that you know your good name in Tokyo." ”

Listening to the kind words of his two wives, Chi Shang really felt a pity in his heart, this kind of thing has been encountered many times along the way, every time he sees a poor person who is particularly poor, the four wives will beg him out loud.

For this matter, Chi Shang really agrees in his heart, since the four wives have good thoughts, then he naturally has to support him as a husband.

Anyway, it doesn't cost much to help these people, one hundred and ten yuan is enough, this money is not even a dime a dozen for Chi Shangzhenyi, why not make his wife happy.

What's more, Chi Shang Zhenyi can see through this observation along the way that although his four wives have good intentions, they are not the kind of girls who are overflowing with love, and the four wives will only take action against those who can help.

For those who have hands and feet but are lying on the street to ask for food, the four wives believe it and look down on them at all, and sometimes even if it weren't for Chi Shang's sincere intentions, the four wives would still be Haibian and those people, and he could only say in his heart 'A good wife who is polite and polite'.

"Huh...... I have a good heart again, we are all good wives, and my husband will reward you well at night. ”

Hearing her husband's praise, Saya Baiji and Sami Baiji's faces immediately turned red, and both of them knew what their husband meant.

However, although they are shy, the two sisters Baiji Saya and Baiji Samei still have some expectations and joy in their hearts, because they are already faintly fascinated by their husband's reward.

I still remember that when my husband rewarded them in the 'soup' for the first time, they were so shy that they almost fainted, because they never thought that there would be a kiss between men and women, which made them never expect.

At that time, although they were so shy that they closed their eyes the whole time, they were deeply fascinated by that feeling, and they usually remembered it unnaturally in their hearts.

Looking at the two blushing and shy wives beside him, Chi Shang Zhenyi felt very excited, through this month's journey, he had trained these two conservative wives very well. (To be continued.) )
