Chapter 7: Conflict

In Sun Xiangfu's bamboo house, the little sister Sun Lili saw him coming back, and happily grabbed his arm and pointed to the water tank in the house.

"Big brother, look, the yellow eel eats earthworms, it's like sucking noodles, and you can eat one in one bite, Lili hasn't eaten noodles for a long time!"

The ancestral home of the Sun family is Youzhou in the north, a few years ago, when the days were good, the family could often eat some pasta, and then the Turks were uneasy, Youzhou fell into war, and the days were not so good, and finally moved to Guanzhong, I didn't think that the little sister still remembered those days when there were noodles to eat, Sun Xiangfu touched the little sister's head, thinking in his heart, if he made money selling fish, he must buy some flour and come back to make noodles for the little sister to eat.

With Sun Xiangfu's guidance and joining, Sun Dali and the two brothers made up the fish cage much faster, at dusk, more than 20 brand new fish cages plus more than a dozen old fish cages made up yesterday, piled up two or three meters high on the wheelbarrow, Sun Deshou obediently tied a few earthworms with fine hemp rope in each fish cage, and today they were going to go farther to get the fish cage.

From tomorrow, Sun Xiangfu will not take back the fish cage again, but directly bring the earthworms, while collecting the fish, immediately load the earthworms, and lower the fish cage to a farther place, and the collected fish, in addition to the edible ones, will be directly pulled to the market to sell.

In the summer, when the sky dawned early, about four or five o'clock in the morning, the two brothers Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali pushed the wheelbarrow on the road, with two large wooden barrels tied to the left and right sides of the car, as well as two bamboo baskets for fish, and the yellow eels and loaches caught yesterday in the buckets, and the fish collected in the fish cage today will be directly sorted into two wooden barrels.

After harvesting the fish baskets, Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali would take the yellow eels and loaches to the market town to sell, and Sun Erli would return home with the scaly fish that were not strong in vitality to make breakfast.

After a while, Sun Dali's mouth couldn't close happily, today's fish cages are more than twice as many as yesterday's, and there are several large fish cages, the harvest is almost twice as much as yesterday, if Sun Xiangfu didn't insist on releasing those finger-sized crucian carp and yellow eels thinner than his little thumb, he thought that the two wooden barrels on the wheelbarrow could be filled with fish.

About half an hour, everyone collected a round of fish cages, and loaded earthworms, and put them in the new waters, Sun Erli was a little difficult to carry two fish baskets to rush home, last night Sun Xiangfu and their brothers discussed, today to invite the children of the whole village to drink fish soup, there are only about 30 children in the village, he carried two baskets of fish, enough.

And Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali, there are steamed cakes made of locust powder ground by Li Cuihua with stone grinding yesterday in their arms, this is their food today, although it is not delicious, but it will definitely be full, and it is estimated that it will be afternoon at the earliest, and they will receive another round of fish when they arrive, load the earthworms, and put them in the new waters again, so they can directly receive a round of fish when they go out tomorrow morning.

Xiaoheji is about ten miles away from the village, if it is a straight cement road in later generations, the walk is only an hour, but this is ancient, even if it is an official road, it is also a potholed mud pit with stones, not to mention the country road, so, when the two arrived at the market, the sun was already high, and the two were already soaked in sweat, and looked at the hour, Sun Xiangfu estimated that it was ten o'clock in the morning.

The bazaar is not lively, today is not the day of the big set, the small river set every five days a small set, ten days of a big set, this is to follow the rhythm of the imperial court bathing day, of course, even if it is not a small set and a big set of days, the market is also a small flow, after all, this is Guanzhong, the population is relatively dense, ten miles of land, there are several villages with a population of hundreds, there are a few noble people around the Zhuangzi, daily consumables are always some transactions.

Looking for a shady place on the side of the street, Sun Dali parked the wheelbarrow, Sun Xiangfu took out the bamboo tube filled with water from the car, and after the two of them poured a mouthful, they began to eat locust steamed cakes in a big gulp, and when they had food in their stomachs, the two had the energy to sell to the passing crowd.

"Freshly caught yellow eel loaches, come and see if you don't buy them! More than a pound of rhubarb eel, nourishing qi and replenishing essence, no matter steaming, it is delicious! ”

This set of rhetoric was taught to Sun Dali by Sun Xiangfu, and then half an hour passed, and only two passers-by glanced at their buckets, without even asking the price.

"I said, enjoy happiness, is it that the people in the bazaar don't like to eat these!" Sun Dali was very worried.

"No, it's because they think it's meat, and it must be expensive. And in our area, how many households eat meat? It seems that we have misestimated the market. ”

After a while, Sun Xiangfu figured out the reason, and then eggs, with their current ability, they couldn't transport these fish to the county with stronger consumption power, it was dozens of miles away, thinking about the ten miles that took two or three hours just now, Sun Xiangfu looked depressed.

After another moment, Sun Dali proposed, "Otherwise, let's push the cart along the road of the market and sell it!" If no one buys it, let's take it back and share it with the villagers. ”

"Let's look at it again, maybe someone can buy it, and it can sell a little bit."

"Freshly caught yellow eel loaches, come and see if you don't buy them! More than a pound of rhubarb eel, nourishing qi and replenishing essence, no matter steaming, it is delicious!······"

Xiaoheji Street is not more than 100 meters long, out of the market, is a small wharf in Weishui, Sun Dali's shouting will be transmitted to the wharf after a while, and at this time on the wharf, just docked a few tall building boats, a team of strong men dressed as warriors got off the building boat, there is an old man dressed as a Taoist priest thoughtfully walked down from the boat, he naturally also heard Sun Dali's shouting.

"Master, slow down, the old slave will ask someone to clear the road and keep you back to Zhuangzi before lunch."

On the ship, an old man dressed as a goatee servant supported a big man with a sallow face before he finally stepped down from the deck of the ship.

"I'm just going back to the village to recuperate this time, and the days are long! It's okay to go slower, but it's just that I'm tired of running around for the next road, and when I get to the village, I have to arrange the food and lodging of the Taoist. ”

There were no less than 100 people on the boat, as well as maids and maids, and carriage honor guards, etc., and the entire small dock was crowded in a short time, and the dozens of sturdy warriors who got off the boat first ran into the small river market with waist swords.

"The Duke of Yiguo returned to the village, and the idle people avoided the road."

With the sound of the strong warriors shouting neatly, the whole small river set a burst of chickens and dogs, shops and pedestrians have avoided both sides of the road, the ancient magnates have this privilege, a county order to travel can have quiet, avoidance, gong to open the way of the guard of honor, not to mention a national duke, moreover, is a serious illness, urgent need to return to the village to recuperate.

More than half a month ago, the Xuanwu Gate Change, the Yiguo Gong Qin Qiong was the main force, after a bloody battle, Qin Qiong was injured in many places, which triggered the old illness that fell on the battlefield in the early years, and almost died.

In the middle of summer, Chang'an City had a high fever, which was not good for Qin Qiong's injury, Sun Simiao suggested finding a cool and secluded place for follow-up treatment, so Li Shimin forcibly released Qin Qiong's leave, and rewarded him with many maids and servants, so that he could return to Xinfeng County, where the food is located, there is a Cuiyun Mountain, and there is a summer resort built on the mountain.

In fact, the fiefs of the Tang nouveau riche are all in the surrounding counties of Chang'an City, each with its own farms and mansions, but Qin Qiong, as Li Shimin's hardcore favorite, is a little more favorable, with as many as 700 households in the real food estate, and as many as 1,000 pours of fiefdom, including the entire Cuiyun Mountain, as well as more than 10,000 acres of fertile land in the surrounding area.

Xiaoheji is so big, the street is not spacious, otherwise there is no need for the guards to clear the road, after a while, the guards of the Yiguo Mansion rushed to the front of Sun Xiangfu and the two who could not avoid it, seeing these fighting men who don't know how many lives there are at hand, Sun Dali was in a hurry, the wheelbarrow in his hand was not stable, and the car full of yellow eels and loaches fell in the middle of the road, and suddenly, the loach and yellow eel fell to the ground.

"Ouch······"

On the muddy road, the loach and yellow eel that fell to the ground and the mucus they secreted, and it was difficult for the gods to stand firmly, and the few guards led by them fell down in an instant.

"Whoever makes trouble, take it."

At this time, a big man with a height of more than one meter and eight rushed to the scene of the incident, and couldn't help but say, first pulled out the big Pu knife with a finger width on his waist, and looked at Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali who were in a hurry with murderous aura.

"The grass people didn't mean it, the official atonement."

Almost subconsciously, Sun Dali knelt down on the ground and shouted, but Sun Xiangfu had just come to this era, and he didn't have that kind of idea of superiority and inferiority in his bones, but he was a little scared and wanted to escape.
