When the Wang family arrived, the water conservancy project had already started. After seeing all the cars, Erya didn't see them bring potatoes and cottonseeds, so she was a little irritable. Holding back his anger, he asked the eldest brother who led the team (Wang Bengui's eldest grandson): "What about the potatoes?" Why didn't I see it! ”

"It's a seed, isn't it? Shi Da Steward has an explanation, he said, the weather here is only afraid that it is still cold, and the potatoes will not be used if they are frozen too early, and he said that he will arrange for someone to send them over in half a month. ”

The second girl wiped her sweat and said with a smile: "Oh! That's it! I thought they had forgotten and made me break out in a cold sweat. ”

Brother Lobby looked at his cousin's daughter-in-law with a smile and said, "Don't worry!" You, the great housekeeper, are very dedicated, even if we take care of our own homes, we are not as attentive as him. Occasionally, when we passed, we all felt ashamed and panicked when we saw that he and the employees were busy with their feet not getting dusty. Your sister-in-law and I are still privately figuring out what method you and Xiaohu used to make so many people selfless and dedicated to your family? ”

Xiaohu next to him took over the conversation with a smile: "Big brother, don't think about it!" That's their own character, and we happen to be lucky enough to bring them together in our house to do things. ”

"Huh! Even if it's it! ”

Daman is still busy with spring ploughing, so he can't come over, this side is temporarily divided into two groups by Peng Yunjiang and Peng Yunhai, leading everyone to do things like land reclamation and spring ploughing, Peng Yunfeng took people to take charge of livestock grazing, and two people from the government workshop led a group of people to do water conservancy. All the later members of the Wang family were still led by Wang Bengui's eldest grandson. In addition, a piece of land was cleared.

After the things here were arranged, he explained that Xiaolong wanted to discipline Wen Yue and Wen Chao and Qingzhu, who were going to come over after the exam, and the two of them followed the convoy of the dowry. Rush to the capital. By the time they arrived in the capital, the dowry had already arrived for several days, and they were waiting for them to come and send it to the Kong family.

Like the dowry, the wedding banquet can't be too different from the daughter-in-law, and the thanksgiving banquet must also be held. Now there is nothing new about feasting with loaches and yellow eels, because in the current capital, as long as you enter a slightly more high-end restaurant. You can eat a variety of different flavors of loach and yellow eel.

However, this matter is not difficult for Erya, she learned a little about the high-end restaurants in the capital market, and found that the seafood dinner here is a big shortage. Good thing it's close to the east coast. It shouldn't be difficult to go there to find some lobster, abalone, sea cucumber and whatever.

She first greeted Mrs. Kong Liu and asked them to wait for her for a few more days, and she was going to the beach to buy some fresh seafood and come back to hold a banquet for the Kong family. When Mrs. Kong Liu heard that the Wang family meant this, she should be the same as the fourth girl. Have a feast of thanksgiving. I was so excited that I almost cried on the spot, where is there anything not to agree with?

Don't think that Mrs. Kong Liu is too easily excited, as a woman, she puts her posture too low, if you really say it, this is a normal thing. When he first courted Laizi, on the one hand, the situation of the Wang family was not as good as it is now, and on the other hand, Laizi was a military attaché. And the son-in-law is a four-grade civil official, which can be regarded as a high climb. And now Xiaolong is courting, but it is quite a low marriage. Not to mention the momentum of the Wang family. Xiaolong himself is the champion and the fourth official, and Ah Jing's father is nothing. It's just a clerk. Besides, Ah Jing is a girl who has had three family experiences, and this kind of experience means that Er Ya doesn't care. In fact, people in this era are equivalent to women who have been divorced three times in the post-world. Looking at it this way, you can understand Mrs. Kong Liu's psychological condition, right? She really felt that her daughter's family affair was high and high, and it was understandable that she was so excited by accidents again and again that she cried bitterly.

Although the east coast is still cold, it is not a good time to go to the sea, but there will be brave men under the reward.

Erya and Xiaohu inquired and found the most remote and impoverished fishing village, and invited them to go out to sea to fish, mainly lobster, Jiwei shrimp, abalone, sea cucumber, etc., and everything else could be caught, but the price was not so high.

Fishermen usually sell seafood for only a few pennies a catty, and some of them can't even be sold at all, so they are chopped up and fed to pigs and poultry. These people who came today were willing to pay for it all, and even if the price was not high, it was much higher than what they usually sold for.

So after the villagers discussed, they arranged for some young adults over the age of 15 and under the age of 40 to go to the sea to fish. Because spring is a time for the animal kingdom to recuperate, the ancients paid more attention to this law of nature, which is to go to the sea absolutely in accordance with this law. Of course, Erya didn't dare to violate this rule, and only required that the amount they hunted could hold a banquet, not too much.

The amount of a feast! The fishermen laughed when they heard this, and if that was all they needed, they would only have to go out to sea once.

Erya originally thought that when they went to sea once, it was nothing more than going out early and returning late, but they knew that they would go out for three days and three nights, and it was not until the morning of the fourth day that they came back by stepping on the sun. Under the light of the sun, it is like a visitor from the sky.

The children of the village, as if they had known that their father or brother would be back today, stood on the high reef with their lamps and waited for them before dawn. When the sun's rays were just above the horizon, and a few small black dots were moving in the horizon, the children cried out, "It's back!" It's back! ”

The women and the old men in the village, who were busy making breakfast and feeding the animals, also put down their work and ran to follow the children's voices, and when they saw the black dots getting closer and closer, they all said to each other happily: "Yes! It's like they're back! ”

"I came back so early today, it seems that I have gained a lot!"

"Yes! I thought so too! ”

When Erya also came out to take a look, they were almost on the shore, and the rising sun was just behind them, giving them colorful scenery. Erya squinted slightly, silently admiring this beautiful scenery that is usually difficult to see.

Perhaps because of the lack of fishing in the spring, their harvest this time was even more than the usual peak fishing season. The six ships were full of all kinds of seafood, many of which Er Ya had never seen.

As soon as they landed, someone took over to help pack up the seafood, and asked them to hurry back and drink brown sugar ginger water to ward off the cold. Erya stayed at the beach to watch everyone pack up those things, and felt the joy of harvest with them.

Erya asked for all the seafood, and when she came, she said that she would give five hundred taels of silver. As a result, during the few days they lived here, they saw that the house they lived in could not withstand the sea breeze at all, that the children were dressed so thinly in the cold, that the children's bowls were black and mushy wild vegetables, and that the women's and the old man's bowls were so thin that they could see the human figures. In the end, he was ruthless and gave them the amount of silver to a thousand taels.

Seeing the village chief shaking the sound of the silver ticket, Erya still couldn't help but want to say what was in his heart: "Village Chief Zhai! Where do you send all these things that you have put together in the past? ”

The village chief is not very old, only in his fifties, but the skin on his face blown by the sea breeze is dry and rough, like an old man in his seventies or eighties in the mainland. He listened to Erya's question, his rough face trembled a little, and he replied very carefully: "Where can we sell it?" That is, the town you passed through when you came. In the past, people came to our village to receive goods, but after being beaten by the overlord of the town, no one entered the village again. We can only send it to the town to sell, and the amount of money the overlord gives is how much it is, and if we annoy the overlord, we will want to sell things in the town in the future.

Ay! By the way, you should also pay attention when you go back this time, and avoid the overlord when you encounter it, if you are bumped into by them, you will have to pester you for money, and if you don't get money, you will definitely fight. ”

When Xiaohu heard this, he frowned, looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "Or let Tie Zhu go back quickly and call Dahong to bring more people to pick us up?" ”

Er Ya didn't dare to be arrogant, no matter how good they were, they couldn't stand up to a large group of people from the locals, if they did anything hurtful, it would be even more difficult to get out of the government.

"Hmmm! Then let's stay for another day, you go back in person, it's best to bring a few bodyguards from all over the world, if they hurt someone, the government will not be able to hold them responsible. ”

If Er Ya calculates the fast horse, he will be able to get to the capital in three hours, find someone again, and then rush over overnight, and he will definitely be able to leave tomorrow morning.

After Xiaohu left, Erya began to want to discuss with the village chief about coming to collect seafood regularly in the future, who knew that the village chief was holding too many silver tickets in his hand, and he was nervous about fainting, just thinking about distributing the money as soon as possible to feel at ease. Erya said anything again, he was absent-mindedly perfunctory, and Erya saw that the village chief really didn't have the heart to talk about anything else, so he stopped talking and let the village chief go to his business.

When the village chief gathered everyone together and took out a stack of silver tickets worth 1,000 taels, the big guys were still stunned even if they were mentally prepared for the previous 500 taels.

"I didn't expect this noble person to give so much before, and I couldn't sit still nervously when I got this silver ticket. Now let's discuss, how to divide the money? ”

An old man who looked older spoke first: "In the past, each family sold things to each family, and there has never been such a joint gift." If you distribute it like this today, no matter how you divide it, there may be people who will suffer a loss, but I just hope that those who have suffered a loss will not take it to heart, and wait until the next time you have the opportunity, and then make up for it. ”

Because no one knew who would suffer in the end, they all shook their heads and didn't answer.

Seeing that the old man was helping to say the words in front, Village Chief Zhai began to talk about the method he had come up with: "I thought of setting aside four hundred taels for the people on the shore to help clean up, and six hundred taels for some people who went to the sea to share equally. What do you think? ”

One of them, who did not go to the sea, said in the crowd: "This is not good! They went to sea for three days and three nights, and the time was long, dangerous, and many, and they only divided six hundred taels into too little. Give them eight hundred taels, and the remaining two hundred taels will be divided among us, old and young, and we will get it for nothing, and I will be content with as much as I share. ”

Other old people who did not go to the sea also responded one after another, and they should let the strong laborers who went to the sea be divided into eight hundred taels, and it would be too much for them to lose it. The village chief saw that everyone unanimously approved, and the one who went to the sea was divided equally between eight hundred taels. He took out a silver ticket of eight hundred taels and gave it to the big conch who led him to the sea, and asked him to take some people who went to the sea to the side to discuss the money. He gave the remaining two hundred taels to the old men and the children and women who helped. (To be continued.) )
