Ergou's home was smashed into a mess, and the kitchen was almost destroyed, Ergou's sister cried while cleaning up, and Ergou also shed tears on the side.

"Don't worry, they don't dare to come again, even if they make trouble in front of the village chief, they won't take care of it." Wu Shuang comforted them while helping them clean up.

Sister Ergou said, "Thanks to you this time, they didn't get any favors."

She remembered that Zhao was beaten into that pig's head, and she felt as if she was not so sad.

In the past, every time Zhao came to the house, she would take a turn around the house and smash something before leaving, but it was the first time she had seen her deflated.

Wu Shuang said, "It's just an old fool who has been fooled."

Ergou said worriedly, "Sister Xiaoshuang, is the He family eyeing us?" His earlier fears had come true.

Wu Shuang was also helpless, just thinking about seeing the move in the future, so he comforted Ergou and said, "Such a wicked person has his own harvest, don't worry, the He family will not end well."

Song Qingyuan didn't speak on the side, his eyes stared at one place intently, as if he was thinking about something.

At the same time, Master He was waiting for the good news of the Zhao family, but the person sent came back to say that the Zhao family not only didn't ask for anything, but was also driven out by Wu Shuang.

Master He said angrily, "These pieces of waste."

He had already greeted the merchants who sold soybeans, and just waited for the secret recipe to arrive and start producing it on a large scale.

He won't be as stingy as Wu Shuang and the others, and only make a few boxes a day to sell in the surrounding villages and towns.

When the time comes, he will open a tofu shop in some big places, even to Kyoto, as long as he has mastered this unique secret recipe, he will not be as high as he wants.

Master He thought about it beautifully, but He Xue didn't know where it came from, her hair was scattered, and she looked like a ghost in broad daylight, and said in Master He's ear faintly: "Dad, don't provoke Wu Shuang, she is not a human, she is a monster."

As soon as Master He saw his daughter become like this, he didn't fight anywhere, and he didn't believe these ghosts and gods in her mouth.

"Hmph, even if it's a youkai, I'll make her show her true form!"

After that, he sent someone to the Zhao family to lobby, but the Zhao family avoided it, and Master He knew what means Wu Shuang must have used to make the Zhao family frightened.

Every day, when he was thinking about how to deal with the Wu family, someone suddenly came over and said, "Master, there are a few strange people in our village, who wander around the beach every day and refuse to leave, and when they meet people, they ask where they can buy live fish."

Master He's eyes rolled and he came up with an idea, "Take me to see it."

When you come to the beach, the wind and waves are high, and even the moored fishing boats rise and fall with the waves crashing ashore.

As soon as people arrive here, they are unconsciously soaked in the cold sea breeze.

The messenger pointed to him, "Look, there it is."

Those people were pulling a fisherman to discuss, as if they wanted to ask him to take them out to sea, but the fisherman refused, not only could they not catch anything when they went out to sea to fish this season, but they would also take their lives if they were not careful, and no one would do such a stupid thing for some money.

Several people were in a hurry and kept persuading the fishermen.

Master He only glanced at it, and then said to the people next to him, "Invite these people to the house, I have something to discuss with them."

The person who reported the news didn't dare to ask more, so he could only do it.

When he arrived at He's house, Master He ordered someone to prepare good tea and snacks to entertain a few people.

When the subordinates saw that several of them were dressed as ordinary merchants, and even a little poor, they wondered.

Master He said straight to the point, "I may be able to help with a few of them, but I don't know how much you want?"

Several people looked at each other, and one of them held out two fingers.

Master He smiled and asked, "Two hundred catties?"

The man shook his head, "Two thousand catties."

Master He was shocked in his heart, this can be regarded as a big deal in the peak season of fishing, not to mention that now that the sea is closed, these people have opened their mouths to ask for such a large amount.

He also wanted to ask a few people how many people wanted so much work

What did the fish do, but a few people said, "This boss doesn't need to ask, if you say you can do it, the price is naturally easy to say."

As he spoke, the man asked his companion to take out the deposit and slap it on the table, and it was a few ingots of yellow and clear gold.

Master He immediately smiled, "It's easy to say, ordinary fishermen don't dare to go to sea because the fishing boats are too small to withstand the wind and waves, and the He family's fishing boats are unusual, so they can go to the deep sea to fish, you can rest assured."

The merchant on the opposite side said: "Business reputation is naturally important, but you can't just talk about it, you still need to prove it."

Master He calculated that the weather had not changed much in the past few days, the weather was clear, except that the wind was a little stronger, and it would not be a problem to form a fleet to go fishing in the deep sea, so he happily agreed and signed the note.

As soon as the merchant left, the butler came up and asked, "Sir, how do you see that these people are extraordinary?"

Master He was quite complacent, and said, "You don't understand this, although these people are wearing shabby, but the shoes on their feet are not ordinary, they are made of satin cloud brocade, and there are gold and silver threads hidden in them, which are not obvious at first glance, but they can emit a fine light in the sun, this is a material used for tribute, and those who can afford it are not ordinary."

"You've got to be well-informed, or we'd miss out on this big business." The housekeeper slapped the horse, touted it, and praised Master He.

The fleet was organized to go to sea the next day, and if it went well, it would have returned in less than two days, but it had taken four or five days to wait.

Master He was waiting anxiously, and the merchants were urging for goods, and more than a dozen fishing boats were missing.

On the sixth day, a small boat came back, carrying only two people, and not a single fish was found.

When the two men saw Master He, they cried and complained, "When we met pirates, not only were all the fish we caught gone, but they also robbed the boat."

The pirates in the winter are hungry and thirsty, and they don't hurry up when they see someone going to sea.

Master He only felt that the five thunders were thundering, and it was impossible for the pirates to come back what they had stolen, and now it was all over, and the dozen or so new fishing boats were all his belongings.

Master He's body was weak, and he fell on his back.

"Sir! What's wrong with you, sir?"

Everyone carried Master He back with all hands and feet.

At this time, Hefu became a mess of porridge, and doctors invited from all over the country came in and out, but they all walked out shaking their heads.

The merchant who had previously ordered the goods came to ask for a deposit, not only that, but because Master He failed to deliver the goods on time, according to the notes set at that time, he had to pay them a sum of money.

He Fu couldn't come up with the money, so the merchants refused to give up, and they had to make trouble with the yamen.

"Our lord is sick, and the young lady is not in good health, and now no one in the family can do the master, please give you a few more days." The old butler was in a dilemma.

The merchant said: "If your master doesn't have this ability, don't take over this business, we are also out to do things, please don't be difficult for us."

In the end, there was no way, the housekeeper had to let He Xue come out and sign an IOU for them, He Xue was sometimes crazy and sometimes sober, staring blankly at the numbers on the IOU, suddenly laughing, and muttering, "When will I have to pay back so much money."

A few days later, Master He woke up, but the person was useless, only half of his body could move, his brain was sober, but his words were not good.

This matter spread in the village, and many people applauded, and everyone was usually bullied by the He family, which was really happy.

The Zhao family also heard about this, and immediately felt afraid, this girl of the Wu family is really a bit evil, and the He family only went against her for a few days before this happened, in comparison, they were just beaten.

When the news came, Ergou's tofu workshop had been renovated, and Wu Shuang also added some money to it, which was much more spacious and magnificent than before, and also repaired some shelves for shelving tofu, and left a separate room for making stinky tofu.

Ergou specially invited the Wu family to celebrate at home, bought good wine and food, Wu Shuang's skills were itchy, and he also cooked a few side dishes.

The two families drank and laughed and enjoyed themselves.

During the banquet, I couldn't help but talk about the He family, and everyone else was applauding

There is something Wu Shuang cares about differently.

She asked, "Since the He family dares to take this deal, that is, if there are no pirates who interfere with it, can his family really take out such a large batch of fresh fish this season?"

Wu Xiuwen nodded, "As long as the volume of the fishing boat is expanded, the board is reinforced, and some designs are made to resist wind and waves, it is not a problem to fish in the deep sea, although the He family's fishing boat is stronger than that of ordinary fishermen, but it can't reach the level we imagined, and he rushed out to sea this time, which is indeed a bit big."

Wu Shuang boldly imagined, "If we had a fishing boat suitable for long-distance sailing, wouldn't we be able to go out to sea to fish in any season, and the winter would not have to be so difficult in the future."

Wu Xiuwen did not fail to think about this problem: "But the round-trip voyage will be extended, and the manpower and material resources required will increase, and one or two people alone will not be able to control such a huge fishing boat."

Song Qingyuan had not spoken out for a long time, but at this time, he suddenly said, "Everyone goes to sea together, and the harvest is distributed according to work, as long as such a fishing boat can be built, there is no worry that no one will participate."

Wu Xiuwu lowered his head and only cared about eating, he didn't pay much attention to the previous words, only these two sentences were listened to, and he hurriedly said: "I know this, just like a pirate, drive a big ship to sea together, grab gold and silver goods and then divide them with the big guy, Xiaoyuan, am I talking about such a reason?"

This is an appropriate description, Song Qingyuan smiled and nodded, "As long as the load of the ship is large enough, we can not only stock up on food and water, but also equip weapons, and even if we encounter pirates, we can give it a go."

They were not well staffed and equipped with weapons to compete with, which was why they feared pirates.

Song Qingyuan's thinking suddenly broadened.

The pirates around them were constantly under control, and although the power of the imperial court alone was effective, it was not a long-term solution, and although they could stop for a while after each crackdown, they would surely resurge after a long time.

If the fishermen can be organized to resist the pirates on their own, so that the pirates can no longer easily prey on the people, in the long run, the pirates will inevitably decline, and then the forces of the united court will be completely killed, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort.

It's just that how this big fishing boat can do it makes it difficult for everyone again.

While everyone was pondering, Wu Shuang suddenly patted Wu Xiuwen's shoulder, blinked and said, "Big brother, I'm optimistic about you."
