Chapter 1 Crossing
Liu Tian woke up again on the fishing boat, the sound of the surging waves, his fingertips trembling weakly, and his throat was dry and he couldn't speak.
When you open your eyes, you are greeted by a clear blue sky and an endless sea. Didn't she die in a car accident and exploded? How on the coast?
She raised her eyes to see a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, with a furrowed face and a tanned sun, dressed in plain clothes, setting up a fish stall on the shore, bargaining with others. Consistent with the figure she saw in her coma, Liu Tian affirmed, "You saved me." β
The man threw the kettle at Liu Tian and continued to bargain with the person in front of him, "Are you awake?" Why can't you jump into the sea at a young age? If I hadn't saved you by chance, I'm afraid you'd have gone to see Hades! β
The clothes soaked in the sea had already been blown dry, and Liu Tian struggled to get up, straightened the sleeves of his clothes, tied his hair with a rope at random, and only a strand remained at the corner of his forehead. The face reflected in the shallow water is delicate, the eyebrows and eyes are slender, but they are thin and pale, and the arms are thin and fair, and he looks like he is about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The southern accent was filled with the sea breeze in his ears, Liu Tian couldn't believe it, and said in a daze, "Where is this?" When? Who am I? β
"Didn't let the waves break your brain, did you?" He looked at Liu Tian anxiously, "You don't know that this is Jialing County?" β
Jialing ...... As if he was hit by the flames of the car explosion again, he had a splitting headache, and his memories came like a tide, and this body is also called Liu Tian, and he is the young lady who was originally married to the wife of the Liujia Tavern in this county town near the sea.
It's unbelievable that she caught up with the trend after she died!
After regaining some strength, Liu leaned up and looked at the man, who was skillfully handling the fish and throwing aside the remaining shrimp, crabs, abalone, and the like in the frame.
Liu Tian kicked the lobster with her teeth and claws, it was a pity, she took off the ear bell, "Uncle, thank you for saving me, the little woman has no long things, this pair of ear bells is worth a few small dollars, and I hope the uncle will not refuse." β
The man saw the value of the pearl at a glance from its luster and roundness, and he pushed it away, "This...... Girl, saving you is just a gesture, even if it is anyone, we can't see death without saving it, right? β
The man is reluctant in his heart, this pair of pearl ear bells is enough for his family to live for more than a month!
Liu tilted the corners of his lips and stuffed the things into his hands, with a great deal of refusal, and pointed at the things thrown on the ground with a slender finger, "That's when I bought these." β
Her voice was cold and sweet, like a pool of spring water colliding on a stone, bold and resolute, without hesitation.
"This..."Thinking about the old mother and the child waiting to be fed at home, it was really tempting, but the man was even more uneasy in conscience, "Girl, these seafood are all shells, and the smell is fishy, how can anyone eat this thing that dogs hate?" It's useless if you want to go over! β
Liu Tian was slightly surprised, no one in this era understands the delicious value of seafood? She recalled the restaurant where the Liu family was on the verge of bankruptcy... If you have these, the business opportunity is right in front of you!
Hope slowly grew in his heart, Liu Tian suddenly had a plan for everything, "Uncle, don't worry, my family runs a tavern, and buying these things is naturally very useful, you don't have to worry about it." β
"Thisβ" The man was embarrassed to take it.
"If I could, I still have something to ask my uncle."
"Girl, please."
Liu Tian's expression was indifferent, as if everything was under control, and her emaciated face did not match her confidence in knowing everything, "My Liujia teahouse is in the county, I want to sign a contract with you, Uncle Lao will send all the seafood you catch to my store every day, and the salary will be paid in January, and long-term cooperation, how about it?" β
"This..."
"Lao Wang, don't be deceived! Little girl, even if your family runs a tavern, it's useless for you to take it back except to feed the dogs! Don't say it, feed the dog and don't eat it! What do you buy these things for? I'm afraid it's not a trick to play tricks? Besides, the Liujia taverns in the county are about to go out of business! You deceived someone and ran away, where can Lao Wang find someone to compensate? β
The fishermen passing by noticed the two early, stopped and looked at the girl, with a thin back and a pale face.
The people around listened to it and muttered in a low voice, "Look at this girl's delicate and delicate, how can she know that she braggs without talking at the edge?" What is it useful? The best cooks in the county are helpless with these things, she? β
"That's it, little girl, hurry home, don't swagger here!"
Liu Tian squatted down to play with the lobster, frowning slightly when she heard this, she had never been questioned like this, "You don't believe me? β
The crowd mocked, "Believe you? We are not honest people like Lao Wang, the little girl should go home early and embroider! β
Liu Tian turned his head to look at Lao Wang, only to see him scratching his head, and said with a wry smile, "Yes, little girl, I accepted your thank you gift, but it's really useless for you to buy these things..."
"Uncle, none of this is something you need to worry about." Liu Tian glared coldly at the person who had just interjected and slandered, his little face was stubborn, and he seemed to have no ruthlessness, which made people feel cold, and the person broke out in a cold sweat on the top of his head, and he stopped his mouth instantly.
She shed a silver bracelet from her hand, the style is strange and novel, at first glance it is a good object of the new moon Zhai, Liu Tian soothed his brows, and said, "This is a deposit, sincerity is here, the uncle decides for himself." β
These seafood goods are lost if they can't be sold, and it takes some effort to send them to the Liu Family Tavern every day, and Liu Qian is not afraid of being deceived after paying the deposit, not to mention that the ear bell in front of him will not let him lose money, if he has this money again, his son's tuition can also be taken out.
No matter how he said it, he couldn't suffer a loss, and under everyone's questioning, he made a decisive decision, "Girl, you show such sincerity, if I don't agree, my old king doesn't know what to do!" β
Liu Qian thought for a while and said, "Uncle, let's set a three-month contract first?" β
Lao Wang responded: "Three months is three months, girl, when did you regret it and tell the old man, I will return the money to you." β
The people around saw that she had paid the deposit, and there were no more ugly words, so they said a few sour words, "Lao Wang, be smart, this little girl is not a vegetarian at first glance, don't be fooled!" β
Liu Qian paid a deposit and asked people to send today's seafood back to the Liujia Tavern, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a bunch of people pushing and shoving a person, yelling and forcing people to take the money, and the person who was pushed down was Liu Yiyuan, Liu Tian's father.
"Stop!" Liu Tian stopped, hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, she glanced at Liu's father, Liu Yiyuan's legs and feet trembled, and he staggered to stand up, "Tilt? β
"Yo, you're Old Man Liu's eldest daughter?" The merchant boss who took the lead looked up and down, the person in front of him had a stubborn face, a slender figure, and thin shoulders, but he didn't move, calm and indifferent, not afraid at all, but he was a little short of breath, "You come to pay the bill for your father?" β
