Chapter 130: The sky is wide and the clouds are low
Speaking of which, Fang Xiu'e and her sister-in-law this week were originally refugees from the same village, but now they are staying in this port together, and they can barely survive.
When my sister-in-law heard this, the smile on her face was also bitter, she raised her sleeves and wiped her eyes, and said: "There is a pot of water boiling in my pot, and my child should be something delicious, and he has been saying 'good smell, good fragrance' since he was just now, and always asked me 'when will my father come back', I really am a stupid child, I don't know that the pot is a pot of water, and I don't know his father...... His father...... I can't come back......"
When she said this in a trembling voice, she couldn't say any more, she couldn't stop rubbing her eyes with her sleeves, and Fang Xiu'e also had red eyes.
Sister-in-law Zhou's husband is a strong laborer, and it was a first-class good way to farm in the village back then, but he was such a strong man, he was so hungry that he lost his strength, and he lost his life with a small wind and cold.
The two women cried for a while, but Sister-in-law Zhou wiped her tears and said, "I have to go home, my eldest son should go back." ”
Her eldest son is nineteen years old this year, and he finally got a big bag on the dock, and he can earn five coarse steamed buns a day, although it is not enough to feed the family, she is content to starve to death.
Fang Xiu'e also said: "Sister-in-law, go quickly, I have to go to the net." With that, he said goodbye to Sister-in-law Zhou and walked to the other side of the pier.
Fang Xiu'e's family is not as good as Zhou's sister-in-law, Zhou's sister-in-law gave birth to three sons and one daughter, the first two sons are older, and they can also do some work, unlike Fang Xiu'e, dragging a seriously ill husband, there is a mother-in-law above, and two daughters are still on her shoulders, and the burden of the family is on her shoulders alone, so she will run to help people pull the net and fish, which is almost a heavy physical work, but now it can only be done by her as a woman's family, fortunately, the fishing boat boss is a kind-hearted person, and she can bring two fish back every day, and the fish is still very hungry when boiled into soup. It also made her barely hold on.
The sky is getting more and more gloomy, the west wind is getting stronger, rolling up a large amount of dust, the sea water is lapping against the reef, the sound of "whoosh" seems to tear something apart, the smell of water in the wind is getting stronger and stronger, the busy people on the dock began to run, from time to time there is a sound of "anchoring, retracting the sails, the wind is rising, it is going to rain" came, and it was indescribably panicked.
Fang Xiu'e's thin figure gradually faded away, and in the countless ant-like crowds, under the vast sky, it turned into a tiny black dot and disappeared.
Almost at the same time, the wind lifted the curtain of the carriage, bringing with it the peculiar scent of the sea.
Chen Ying looked out the window and saw that the ground on both sides of the official road was bare, and there were no trees, only sand and stones covered the sky, and the scene was very desolate.
"Those homeless people are really pitiful." Li Xi whispered on the side, and went to Chen Ying's side, as if he wanted to get some comfort.
Chen Ying didn't speak, just looked at the unchanged scenery outside the window.
She also saw those homeless people just now, with the experience of living in ancient times in the previous life, and seeing the homeless people again, she no longer had the initial shock, and the only thing she thought of at the moment was: can she think of any way to solve the problem of food and clothing for these homeless people.
The wharf at Dengzhou Port is also a large wharf, but there are not many fishing boats around the sea to fish. Although the shipping of the Great Chu Dynasty was more developed than she thought, it was still backward, and it was thought that the shipbuilding industry had not kept up.
Chen Ying had only carefully observed the ships moored at the dock, such as the Baolong, and they were the only ones, and the most common ones were small sampans, or some small boats with canopies. Such vessels can usually only operate in the near sea, and do not think about the far sea, but the fishing income is also limited.
She searched her memories to find a solution to her hunger.
It's a pity that Mr. Detective can only investigate cases and does not have the skills to light up the technology tree, and Chen Ying, who was in the first life, died in the third year of high school before getting the admission letter, except for some basic disciplines, she has not mastered the ability to lead the people on the road to prosperity.
After thinking about everything she could think of, Chen Ying had to sit on the wall of the car and sigh with Li Xi.
She knows that the sea is a huge treasure, there are many foods in the sea that can be wrapped in the stomach, if you can take it, it will not be a problem to solve the famine on the Jiaodong Peninsula, not far from Dengzhou Port in Japan, North Korea and other seas, there are seaweed, kelp and other aquatic products that are rich in nutritional value and can be artificially cultivated.
However, in the Great Chu Dynasty, where the chemical industry and light industry are not developed, artificial cultivation of kelp and seaweed is tantamount to a dream, Chen Ying does not understand spore breeding, nor does she understand the manufacture of ammonia fertilizer, and she is even more blank in the relevant knowledge required for marine aquaculture. As a result, all her cognitions became a castle in the air, and it did not play a role in the Great Chu Dynasty.
In her infinite emotion, the carriage drove all the way from the port to Penglai County, and after entering the city, the steward of the front station was ushered in, and they were taken to a house that had been set a long time ago.
This house was originally the property of the wealthy Han family in Dengzhou, but the Han family began to be unlucky more than ten years ago, what to do and what to lose, the business plummeted, and this big mansion was moved out for rent, but it was not sold.
"This place has been empty for a while, and my son saw that this place was quite spacious and not very eye-catching, so he asked Steward Lu to rent it." Li Gong whispered outside the carriage, but he was reporting the situation to his mother Ni and aunt Li.
Ni helped the housekeeper's mother get out of the car, and as soon as he raised his head, he was greeted by thousands of poles and bamboos.
Ni's heart was immediately overjoyed, and he couldn't help but nod and praise: "It's really a good place." ”
Chen Ying and Li Xi also got out of the car at this time, raised their eyes and looked around, and nodded secretly.
In front of the white wall and tile, the moon bridge and the blue column, the garden leads a vein of living water, flows down from the east end, turns the pillars around the corridor, is quite proud.
However, that's all, it's not surprising that the yards of any house are almost like this. The most distinctive thing about this yard is that the plants in the garden, the flowers and trees are only decorated, only the green bamboo in the courtyard is planted, and the scenery is sparse from afar, and it seems that even the wind is a little more free and easy than the side.
Ni's favorite thing in his life is bamboo, and now he sees the green shadows in the garden, how can he not be happy? I only turned my head and looked around again, so happy that my eyebrows and eyes were bent, and said: "This house is really good, the place is quiet, and the garden is elegantly arranged, it is difficult for my son to think thoughtfully." ”
Li Gong smiled warmly and said, "It's good that my mother is happy." ”
He carefully chose this house in the hope that his mother could live comfortably, and now that Ni was really satisfied, he was also relieved.
