Chapter 161 Seaport

Fenghai County is said to be a county, but it is actually just a small port composed of more than a dozen narrow streets.

However, because the Apocalypse Dynasty has always insisted on opening Fenghai County to the outside world, there are Gentiles everywhere who speak the lame Celestial Empire dialect looking for business opportunities here.

The goods brought by Liu Mingxuan were sold to these people, including cloth and tea, which were extremely in-demand.

"Liu, you're finally here, thank you for letting me go back to Ayi empty-handed." Paisley, a businessman from Ayi, grabbed Liu Mingxuan with both hands and said with a happy expression.

"Uh, didn't delay you from going back?" Liu Mingxuan was obviously a little weak-hearted.

"No, I thought about waiting another day, but I didn't expect you to show up in time today! But if you don't come again, I really can't wait, I don't have the money to go back, haha! ”

"Hehehe~" It was really embarrassing, Liu Mingxuan couldn't help but regret the grinding and grinding on the road, and glared at Sun Chen fiercely.

Sun Chen touched his nose and turned his head as if nothing had happened, looking around the port.

……

After sending Paisley away, Liu Mingxuan still has something to deal with, and there are still two of his caravans to come over after a while, so he has to keep an eye on the arrangement. So he explained a few words to Sun Chen, sent two more people to follow for protection, and took the rest of the people back to his property in Fenghai County.

Sun Chen and his cousin Li Yicong stared at the Gentiles coming and going for a while, and then they came to the beach next to the port.

Shortly after the tide receded, many seafarers were holding tools and wearing big turbans on their heads, and they were 'panning for gold' with their heads bowed.

From time to time, people join in, and there are more and more people on the beach, as if they are attending a rally.

But they didn't panic, they still bent over, and each picked up his own share.

Sun Chen also wanted to join in, but he didn't have the tools at hand, not even a small bamboo basket, so he had no choice but to do it.

Li Yicong didn't feel inconvenient, and joined the team to catch the sea empty-handed, which was very addictive. If you ignore the fact that he was finally caught by a palm-sized sea crab with a big pincer in front of him, he screamed for help in pain.

Sun Chen covered his mouth and snickered, looked at the stupid cousin beside him who was touching his feet and screaming, called out to the two seafarers who had returned with a full load, and opened his mouth to buy all their harvest, and the two big baskets full of them only cost him five taels of silver.

In addition, he paid the delivery fee and took them to Liu Mingxuan's house, where he raised all the seafood and spit sand in the pool in the middle of the yard. Before he returned, clean water had been changed in advance.

Because the seafood bought did not spit out good sand, lunch was eaten in Fenghai Fishing Port, the most famous Fenghai Fishing Port in Fenghai County, as the host, Liu Mingxuan was not stingy at all, and ordered a large table of seafood for Sun Chen to enjoy.

The real people of Fenghai County do not eat seafood often, and they have the impression that if a person often eats a certain type of seafood, he will be retaliated against by that type of seafood after death.

The most classic is the story about eating crabs. It is said that there used to be a rich old lady, she liked to eat sea crabs the most when she was alive, and every time the autumn wind itched the crab feet, she would buy dozens of them, and feast at home with her children and grandchildren. After the old lady died, her children did things for her in the Taoist temple, but strangely encountered the old lady outside the Taoist temple and said: Because I ate too many sea crabs, I also made too many karma, and after my death, I was driven into the crab mountain to suffer retribution. Yin Cha forked my body and threw it into the crab school, so that I could see the pincers of the crab claws, and I didn't stop for a moment, I was really in pain. I hope that when you go home, you will "seal the Nine Heavenly Birth Divine Seal for me and burn it", and surpass the group of crabs, so that they can be born as soon as possible. When her children heard this, they hurried home and engraved what she called the Divine Seal, and burned hundreds of copies of it every night until the whole funeral was over.

In the end, the old lady told her children in a dream that they would learn a lesson in the future and not repeat her mistakes.

There is also a legend about eating fish soup, saying that someone died violently that night because he ate a bowl of decanting fish soup made for him by his wife, and later his family learned that the small sea fish used to make fish soup was a juvenile dragon. The man ate the baby dragon so that the baby dragon could no longer be reincarnated, and then it was retaliated by its parents and died violently.

Since then, almost no one dares to eat the small sea fish that has not grown up, for fear of accidentally colliding with a big man and causing death.

Although these are just legends, for ordinary people, it is definitely better to believe them than not to believe them.

Therefore, most of them are in awe of the seafood they catch, and even if they usually eat it, they don't dare to eat it often.

Most of the products they caught, except for sea cucumbers and abalone, were processed into dried products, which were bought back to their respective countries by the Gentiles here.

A large part of the rest was sent by them to such restaurants for unsuspecting Gentiles. The most eaten by the locals is only seaweed, sea cabbage and other vegetarian food.

"No wonder I bought so much and only spent five taels of silver~" After listening to Liu Mingxuan's statement, Sun Chenri muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"Fortunately, such a legend is only in Fenghai County, and people from other places in the Apocalypse Dynasty still eat it." Liu Mingxuan explained, for fear that Sun Chen would think that he knew this and bluff him over.

"Then the people here are really sad, guarding the treasure house but not moving, it's really torture!" Sun Chen didn't have Liu Mingxuan's worries at all, even if the entire Apocalypse Dynasty had such a legend circulating, what could it do? still can't stop his seafood-loving heart.

"Who said that? It's just that they don't let them eat it often, and they don't say that they can't eat it, let alone that they can't catch it~ They don't eat the seafood themselves, and they sell the seafood and buy something else to eat the assembly, right? ”

"That's right, when you're hungry and have nothing to eat, who cares if you'll be retaliated against~" Sun Chen thought so.

"But if it weren't for this port in Fenghai County, they don't know how sad their lives would be! At least the seafood can't be bought at a high price, and the income is much less~"

Although the current selling price is not too expensive......

"That's right, the people around don't eat it, who else can they sell it to!" Sun Chen skillfully removed the dirt from the scallops while chatting with Liu Mingxuan, not at all like the first time he had eaten such a delicacy.

Liu Mingxuan saw it, and only thought that he was just a self-taught teacher because of the nature of foodies, but Li Yicong, clumsy, is still struggling with the thick crab legs, so that Liu Mingxuan has a rare sense of superiority, and patiently picked up the tools and taught him how to eat crabs step by step.

With a round belly and leaving with Liu Mingxuan, Sun Chen heard how much money he spent at the checkout.

"Let's buy seafood and make it at home in the future! Huge profits! ”
