"There aren't many crabs this season, but other people aren't selling them at this price, don't you think your price is too outrageous?" Song Yao was not in a hurry to leave, in the boy's eyes, she saw anxiety and despair.

"My father waited for the silver to save his life, and I couldn't do anything when I went out of the boat, but my uncles and uncles knew that I needed money, so they gave me a basket of crabs, and if I couldn't sell the life-saving silver, my father was afraid that it would be...... We're done as a family! The boy clenched his fists, overwhelmed by the burden of life.

"Your age is indeed not suitable for going to sea." Song Yao was a little sympathetic to the boy, and guessed that he was the eldest son in the family, otherwise he would not come out to bear this burden, so he took out ten taels of silver and said: "I can only buy your crabs at the market price, if you really want to save your father and let the family live, you can consider borrowing silver from me to pay off the debt." ”

"Merit for debts?" The boy looked at Song Yao puzzled.

"Well, I'm going to collect shrimp and seaweed here, you can help collect the goods, and then bring someone to send them to me. For every ten catties, I'll give you a penny for your hard work, how about it? Song Yao said what she thought.

Originally, I planned to ask a nearby fisherman to help, but the fisherman makes a living from fishing and will not have so much time, but such a half-old child is more suitable.

It's just that Song Yao deliberately gave it high, otherwise I don't know how many people would be willing to do this errand.

"Really? May I? The boy asked, his eyes shining.

"You go to the uncle in charge of the fishing boat and tell him that this is what I mean." Song Yao paused and said: "But to the outside world, you can only say that you can help collect the goods, and I will give you ten yuan for hard work, as well as two catties of food." ”

"Thank you, madam, Haiwazi remembered!" The boy bowed deeply towards Song Yao, with deep gratitude in his eyes.

After the boy left with the silver, Helian Sheng whispered in Song Yao's ear, "You don't just want to help him, right?" ”

"I want my own caravan, including by sea." Song Yao raised his head, looked at Helian Sheng's eyes and said, "Although I haven't traveled all over the Great Zhou Kingdom, my goal is to travel all over*, including those neighboring countries, so that my business can be unimpeded to every country I know." ”

"Sounds good, don't forget to take me with you." Helian Sheng's eyes were deep, and he obviously had such thoughts.

"Look at your performance." Song Yao whistled arrogantly and waved her hand: "Babies, get on the boat and eat seafood!" ”

Looking at the backs of Song Yao and the two little guys running on the beach, full of vitality, even the moonlight seemed to be a little brighter, and the restlessness in Helian Sheng's heart was even more obvious, he wanted to live the life that Song Yao said earlier, and travel to the unknown world.

The fishermen are hard-working people, and most of the fishermen's families do not have enough land to make ends meet, and every household is counting on strong laborers to go out to sea to fish for a living, and the number of idle people at home is even more.

Therefore, Song Yao said that he wanted to buy shrimp skin and seaweed, so naturally many people picked the shrimp skin overnight and sent it to Song Yao's temporary house the next day.

As for the seaweed, Song Yao asked that it be dried, and it would take a few days.

The shrimp skin sent by a fishing boat was not much, a total of more than 600 catties, and it cost less than two taels of silver, Song Yao gave two taels of silver, and the extra was the money for inviting the villagers to eat bowls of noodles.

Settle for Haiwazi, naturally, it is alone, ten catties of shrimp skin for a penny, and more than sixty yuan in benefit fees, but it is more than some fishermen who come to sell shrimp skin.

"How many children over the age of ten do you have at home?" Song Yao stayed at home to eat noodles and asked him about the situation at home by the way.

"I have two older sisters above me, and because my family is poor, I haven't decided to marry yet. There are also two younger brothers and a younger sister, except for the younger sister, who is five years old this year, and the others are all over ten years old. Haiwazi is an outgoing child, and she is not inhibited when she answers.

"If there is anyone in your family to take care of, you can ask your sister and two younger brothers to come to me for a few days to work. It's coming to the end of the year, and there are not enough people in my house, and I get paid ten cents a day. "Song Yao intends to cultivate Hai Wazi, so she wants to know more about the character of their family, maybe she can use them all in the future.

"Thank you, ma'am, I'll let them come when I get back." Hai Wazi said gratefully.

"Don't worry, it's too late for you to get home, so let's come back tomorrow." Song Yao gestured to the red sleeves, and then continued to say to Hai Wazi: "I will live here for a while, you pay more attention to the sea boats that come back, if there are things that everyone doesn't want to throw away, let them keep them first, you send them over to me to see if you can use them, and I will give you an extra ten cents for errands every time." ”

Hearing Song Yao say that he only lived here for a while, Haiwazi was a little disappointed, which meant that after Song Yao left, his livelihood would also be cut off.

But he should remember the kindness of thinking that he could earn a few months of money and that the family's situation would improve a lot.

"Madame's kindness to Haiwazi, Haiwazi will never forget it in her life, how can she charge errands again!" Haiwazi stood up, bowed to Song Yao and said, "Madame, don't worry, Haiwazi knows what to do, and she will not disappoint Madame." ”

Seeing the change in Hai Wazi's expression, Song Yao did not inform her long-term plans, she wanted important people, and she had to go through the assessment.

"Haiwazi, Madame instructed me to prepare these things yesterday, they are all some food, and take them back to your father to nourish his body." Red Sleeves came back with a basket, and judging by how hard she was, there were a lot of things.

"I have already received my wife's wages, and I can't take my wife's things anymore." Hai Wazi hurriedly refused.

Song Yao smiled lightly and didn't speak, and after the red sleeves got the signal, he said with a smile: "If you have been following Madame for a long time, you will know how good Madame is to the people below." Although you are not selling yourself into slavery, in the end you are helping Madame, and Madame has not treated you badly. If you feel that you have taken too much of Madame's things, then pay attention to it, and not waste Madame's care for you. ”

Hearing this, Hai Wazi looked up at Song Yao, then at the red sleeves and the bamboo building she was holding, pursed her lips and took it.

"I've tired Sister Redsleeves." Hai Wazi bowed to the red sleeves, put down the things, turned around and kowtowed to Song Yao, and said with red eyes: "Madame's kindness, Haiwazi will never dare to forget it in this life!" If it weren't for the presence of his wife, Haiwazi's family would not be able to survive the New Year! In the next life, Haiwazi dare not guarantee that she will repay her kindness by being a cow and a horse in this life, even if she gives up this life, Haiwazi will not frown. ”

"You child, what does Mrs. Ben want your life to do?" Song Yao gave a handful of help and said, "Hurry up and go home, and let your family rest assured, there will be more places for you in the future." ”

"Come, sister, take you to the door." Red Sleeves helped Haiwazi and helped him carry his things well, whispering something all the way.

Song Yao caught Hai Wazi's heart here, and began to prepare for the production of shrimp powder.
