006 The boat stops and arrives at the shore, and the earth dragon turns over
After another seven days, the boat finally arrived, and the four sisters and brothers got off the boat, of course, this is not the Northern Yan Kingdom. Because from the Eastern Wei Kingdom to the Northern Yan Kingdom, it was originally half by water and half by land. However, this is no longer the Eastern Wei Kingdom, but a tribe located by the sea. People here feed on seafood, and their faces are dried and red by the sea breeze all year round.
"Okay, let's rest here for a few days, and then go hire a carriage and continue in the direction of the Northern Yan Kingdom." Because I have been on the boat for so many days and have been dangling on the water for so long, even though I am already down-to-earth at this time, I still seem to have a shaking feeling. And Zhan Xiaoyan chose to stay in this tribe temporarily, also because there is no shortage of pearls here, the most primitive pearls taken from river mussels.
Moreover, a pearl that can only be bought for a hundred taels of silver outside, can be bought here for five taels of silver; Those finely broken pieces, a bag of one hundred taels of silver, can also be bought for five taels. She has to make a few pieces of jewelry, for the expenses on the road, for the future life in Beiyan Kingdom, she must use the least amount of silver to make the best jewelry, after all, it is not just enough to have craftsmanship, but also to have people who know how to appreciate.
"Good! We all listen to my sister, and it's good to stop occasionally and take a good rest. And we used to stay at home all the time, but now we can take the opportunity to see different things even though we are on the run, which is also very good! Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhan Xiaotian nodded, and then Zhan Xiaoning also said with a smile.
"Good! Then this tribe lives in a stone house, as the name suggests, it is a house made of stone, this kind of house is firm and has no interesting gaps, so it is warm in winter and cool in summer. In winter, there will be no wind blowing in from the corners, and in summer, the sun will not make the house hot, so it is a magical effect! We can't experience it now, but if we have the opportunity in the future, we can come and stay for a while in the summer or winter, which is also very good! β
Zhan smiled and walked towards a family with his younger brothers and sisters. Since this place belongs to a tribe, of course there will be no inn, and if you want to stay overnight, you can only go to an ordinary family with a vacant house, so that the four of them can have a place to stay.
"The place at home is small, this is a room specially used to receive guests, and you are still satisfied with the money for a night and a half and a half for food?" Tang Meiyi took the four of her siblings into the room, and there was a bed, and then a shelf inlaid on it, which was made of stone, and there were some stones, shells, and pearls on it. This pearl is not only white, but also pink, purple and black, and it looks like you have come to the right place for a smile!
"I wonder if I can buy you some pearls? I want to buy two bags each, one for the big one and one for the small one. Or if you have any other colors, I'd like to buy them too. Zhan Xiaoyan knew that this would already cost forty taels, but in order to turn these forty taels into four hundred taels, the money must be spent now.
"Absolutely! And I don't need to go through my father and mother to buy and sell this pearl, I can call the shots! For the time being, there are only these four colors of pearls, and we haven't found anything else. So how long will you stay here? Do you want it now? Or will I give it to you when you're leaving? Tang Meiyi agreed.
Because for them, the biggest use of pearls is that they can be crushed to make pearl powder and drink, or they can make holes in the middle and string them as bracelet belts, and they will have no effect on anything else. So as long as someone comes to buy it, they will be very happy, because the family has another amount of silver income.
"We will stay here for three days, but you can give me the pearls now, how much is the price of eight bags of pearls, you can give it to you if you calculate it!" Zhan smiled and said very simply. Although she knows the specific price, she also wants to see if there is any cheaper, and if so, she can buy more.
"Eight bags of pearls, you can give twenty taels. However, because this cloth bag is not small, you may not be able to hold it when you leave. Then I'm going to get you a bag right now! Tang Meiyi said, and went out. Because pearls are owned by every family, and they are also the least valuable, and now they can be exchanged for money, or twenty taels are so much, she is really happy!
"Sister, do you have a sachet on you? It seems that my sister has always had a fragrance on her body, which I had smelled when I was on the boat before. And when I'm seasick, as long as my sister gets close and smells this aroma, I feel very comfortable! Zhan Xiaoning approached Zhan Xiaoyan and said, even now, this aroma still exists, it really smells good, and it must be good for the body.
"Sachet? Nope! You also know what kind of situation we are now, how can I have the heart to make sachets? Zhan Xiaoyan also said with some surprise, there is really no sachet on his body, even in his mother's relics, but he seems to have pierced a hole in the turquoise stone in the ashes after his mother's cremation and put it on his neck, could it be that the source of this fragrance would be it?

On the other hand, the Eastern Wei Kingdom experienced an earth dragon turnover late last night, so many houses collapsed, many people died, there were corpses carried away everywhere, and people crying because of the loss of their loved ones!
"Damn, finding someone is a chore, and there is such a dragon turnover, if it weren't for my quick hiding, I would have been crushed to death by the collapsed house now, what is the matter!" A man sat on a stall selling wontons and cursed.
"Yes! Yesterday, my wife and I also felt that something was wrong, and we got up in time, so we escaped a catastrophe, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to eat this bowl of wontons today! The stall owner put the wontons on the table where the man was and said. Seeing that there were no other guests left, he sat down and continued:
"I heard from those officers and soldiers who patrolled that last night's dragon turned over, and so far, more than 100 people have died, and they are only in our capital, and other places don't know about it, and some people are still crushed under the house and haven't been dug up! It's already afternoon now, and I don't know how many people will die in this Dillon turnover, and how many people's bodies will be incomplete, or even directly unable to be recovered! β
"Oh, really?" As the man spoke, he took another bite of the ravioli, and an idea appeared in his mind, this must work! Then he won't have to continue this drudgery, and he won't have to be so angry anymore!
