Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fish to be Bought with Money

When Feng Xueyong came out and saw a few carts full of fish, he was directly stunned, and Changshi was speechless in surprise.

Yu Zhoudu consciously stood beside Feng Xueyong and looked around vigilantly.

Wei Dayong also put away his jokes, walked over and arched his hand: "Lord Prefect, entrusted by the order of Li County, I sent two thousand catties of sea fish here, please check!" ”

After Feng Xueyong circled the car a few times, he came to Wei Dayong and asked, "Is there a tsunami in Dongyang County?" Rushing up so many fish? ”

"Uh." Wei Dayong didn't expect this prefect's thinking to be so strange.

"My lord, this is the catch from going out to sea." Wei Dayong explained.

Feng Xueyong's face was full of disbelief, and said, "Go to sea to fish? I've seen the boats in your fishing village, and it's impossible to catch so many fish. ”

Wei Dayong grinned and said proudly: "We have built a big fishing boat, and we can catch nearly 20,000 catties of fish with one fishing boat." We've built ten! ”

"Can you build a big fishing boat?" Feng Xueyong asked.

Wei Dayong nodded, patted his chest and said, "Yes, it was made by my aunt Chen Zheng." ”

"Your uncle Chen Zheng?" Feng Xueyong said again, "How do you feel that this name is a little familiar." ”

As he spoke, Feng Xueyong looked over at Changshi.

In the past, as long as Feng Xueyong couldn't remember something, Changshi would come forward to prompt.

But this time, Changshi disappointed Feng Xueyong, and he didn't know who Chen was.

Feng Xueyong was a little dissatisfied, but Yu Zhoudu next to him spoke.

"Chen Zheng, male, the father-in-law of the owner of the Red Pine Village in Paomashan, Dongyang County, is good at carpentry, and is good friends with the county commander and Miss Qinning." Yu Zhoudu said slowly.

Feng Xueyong raised his eyebrows and said, "He knows Qin Ning?" ”

"I met Miss last time I went to Dongyang County." Yu Zhoudu replied, "The three-piece bedroom set that Miss pulled back was from Chen Zheng's hand. ”

After Yu Zhoudu reminded him like this, Feng Xueyong remembered that the last time his daughter came back from Dongyang County, she did bring three pieces of bedroom furniture.

The three pieces of furniture are exquisite, and you can see that the people who made them are highly skilled.

"It turned out to be him, no wonder he could build a big ship." Feng Xueyong muttered.

Wei Dayong saw that Yu Zhoudu had told the prefect all the details of his uncle, and he was a little dissatisfied, so he asked, "The fish, I sent it, where did I unload it?" ”

Feng Xueyong listened, hurriedly arranged for the tolerance to unload the fish, and then asked: "You just said that your uncle built ten big boats, each of which can make up 20,000 catties?" ”

Wei Dayong nodded, and said without the slightest politeness: "Yes, now the people of Dongyang County live with stewed fish and grilled fish every day, and the whole city smells of fish, which is very sad." ”

Feng Xueyong looked at Wei Dayong's somewhat resentful expression, and wanted to beat someone, but considering that he was a scholar, he gave up the idea of beating someone.

"Each boat is 20,000 catties, and ten boats are 200,000 catties, so Li Gang only sent 2,000 catties?" Feng Xueyong said with some dissatisfaction.

Who knew that Wei Dayong listened, but instead stood up and laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Don't be unreasonable! Changshi shouted.

Wei Dayong stopped laughing and said, "My aunt had long expected that the prefect would ask this question. ”

"Oh? Expected to be seen for a long time? So Chen is preparing to answer this question! Feng Xueyong asked again.

"My aunt said that there are enough fish." Wei Dayong said, "It's just that there are so many counties in the whole state, and I can't send them." They need to pull it themselves. ”

After Feng Xueyong listened, he didn't bother to think about it, and said happily: "It's so good!" So much better! ”

"Eh, Lord Prefect, wait a minute, I haven't finished my sentence yet." Wei Dayong hurriedly said.

"What's the problem?" Feng Xueyong asked.

Wei Dayong grinned and said, "My aunt said that this fish can't be given for free, you have to buy it." ”

"What?" The long history next to him shouted, "The famine is in front of you, and you actually use this to coerce and make this disaster money?" Does your conscience not ache? ”

Wei Dayong was not happy, pulled down his face and said: "Look at what you said, is that big ship, that port, and that dock not conjured out of thin air, not to mention the artificial and design, do you know how much wood is used?" My aunt is working hard every day, and his body is about to be hollowed out, so why not sell some money for the fish he catches at sea? ”

"......" Changshi was speechless, what people said made sense.

"What are you going to do?" Feng Xueyong asked.

There is no way, now that the situation is imminent, if you can buy food, it is already good.

Wei Dayong didn't speak, just smiled and stretched out two fingers.

"Two taels of silver a catty!" Changshi shouted.

Wei Dayong was startled by Changshi's loud voice, withdrew his hand, and said unhappily: "Two taels of silver and a catty?" You're a robbery! ”

"Isn't it two taels of silver?" Changshi asked.

Wei Dayong stretched out his finger again and said, "It's two texts!" Two pennies and one pound! ”

Two pennies and one pound? This is also too cheap, usually the price of fish is twenty or thirty wen a catty, like Hongjiang Mansion, where it is not near the sea, it can even be sold for fifty wen a catty.

It took Feng Xueyong a long time to react and asked, "Chen Zheng really only sells two pennies and one catty?" ”

"It's true, Tong Su is not deceived." Wei Dayong said, "You can also exchange things for things, in short, quickly send someone to pull the fish." ”

Feng Xueyong arranged for Yu Zhoudu to entertain Wei Dayong, and he and Changshi went back to inform the counties.

At this time, there is really nothing good to entertain.

I don't know if it's Yu Zhoudu's bad taste, he ordered someone to make a big pot of fish soup to entertain Wei Dayong, using the fish he brought.

"Why is it still a fish?" Wei Dayong really didn't have much interest in eating it in his mouth, not to mention that the fish made here was far worse than what Meng Chujiu made.

Yu Zhoudu eats very deliciously, he hasn't eaten with his belly open for several days, and now the fish soup is a big meal for him!

"Don't eat it, I'll eat more." Yu Zhoudu hooked the fish soup in front of him with chopsticks.

Wei Dayong hurriedly hooked it back and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't eat it." ”

When the two of them had eaten about the same, Wei Dayong took out two things from his baggage.

Among them was a puppet, which was thrown directly to Yu Zhoudu.

After Yu Zhoudu got it, he found that the four branches and the head of the puppet were able to move freely, so he was very interested, and said, "Eh, why are you sending me this?" I'm not a kid anymore. ”

That being said, Yu Zhoudu had a lot of fun.

Wei Dayong glanced at him and said, "That's not for you, it's given to Miss Yin Yin on the ninth day of the first month, don't play badly." ”

When Yu Zhoudu heard this, his face stiffened, threw the puppet aside, and said, "Children's things, who are rare." ”

Then, Wei Dayong took out another letter, added a brocade box, carefully handed it to Yu Zhoudu, and said, "This is given to Miss Qinning by Li Shuang's son, you can send these two things for me." ”

"Oh."
