Chapter 66: Material Stimuli
"Young and old masters, stop what you are doing.
My young master said, when you leave, one person will be given fifty catties of dried fish and dried whales.
Now we need a lot of rattan baskets, and people who can dry sea salt, and we need eight helpers for the house. ”
As soon as Sheng Xing's words fell, there was a cheer at the scene, and some clever ones even recommended themselves.
For work, there is not only a salary, but also 50 catties of fish and meat, and it is enough to take back the meat for the family to spend the winter.
They worked here, and they had eaten rare tiger meat, and they had tasted whale meat full of meat.
Although whale meat smells a bit fishy, they can accept it as long as it is meat, let alone sun-dried jerky.
"Young Master of the Xie Lord's Family, Young Master of the Lord's Family!" Old man Hu took the lead and thanked loudly.
"Young Master of the Xie Family, Young Master of the Xie Family......" The crowd shouted, and their voices echoed for a long time.
"Everyone has worked hard, as long as you work hard, you will not be treated badly."
Ziyu, who was standing on a high place, pressed her hands down, and the audience was suddenly quiet.
Among them, the happiest person is none other than Shi Liu's family of three.
One hundred and fifty catties of jerky greatly solved the problem of food rations for the family in winter.
For them, the saddest thing of the year is the half-year-long winter.
Because Shi Liu often took his two sons to the beach in the wind and snow to look for food.
With these things, combined with some coarse grains and iron taro, even if you don't go out to find food, the family doesn't have to starve to death in the cold winter.
There were fifty catties of jerky hanging in front, and the people working on the scene walked with them.
Two days later, construction continued in the valley in an orderly manner, and the spruce trees that had been cut back from outside the valley were hugging in thick piles.
…
Three medium-sized ships encountered strong storms and tsunamis at the deserted Pier of the Sharp Beak, and several brushes with death.
The tilted hull almost flipped on its side, and the creaking mast was terrifying.
After the storm passed, the three ships rested at Tsim Tsui Pier for two days before they were able to set sail again.
Along the way, except for replenishing fresh water and food, they did not make any further stops, and everyone just wanted to take advantage of the calm sea and return to the port as soon as possible.
Ten days later, on the three ships that had not entered the port of Shangdufu, several ship bosses looked at the wharf under construction in surprise.
The surrounding houses have not had time to be rebuilt, only bare walls remain, and the roof has long been gone.
"Brother Wang, the impact of that storm seems to be a bit big!"
Hong Feiyang, who experienced the horror of the sea for the first time, was still a little chilling when he remembered the experience of that night.
"There are storms on the beach every year, and for the past twenty years, I have been to the city once or twice a year.
It was the first time I saw that all the houses on the pier were destroyed, and the loss this time was definitely not small.
We can't continue to buy materials in Qingyang Mansion this time, we have to go to Jiangfu. ”
Wang Xingwang had already thought of the series of reactions brought about by the storm, and he was also a little weak about the few people who disappeared last time.
Of course, before leaving, he must take his family with him, and he will go to Jiangfu to pick up Bao Jiu's wife and children.
"Brother Wang, what do you say, I would like to hear it in detail!"
Wang Xingwang asked Hong Feiyang if he didn't understand, and he had a good impression of it, and explained the reasons for it in detail.
"Brother Hong, this truth is very simple, as long as you say it, you can understand it.
The pier was damaged by the storm and will definitely need bricks and tiles to be rebuilt.
The same is true of the destroyed houses in the city.
And the items we purchased this time are mainly building materials, plus the missing people......"
"I see, Brother Wang.
Listen to your arrangement, after arriving in Jiangfu, you still find a dental store to come forward to purchase, you don't have to care. ”
Hong Feiyang, who suddenly realized, bowed his hand to Wang Xingwang, knowing that this person was so careful because of his friendship with his little brother.
"Brother Hong, you're welcome, we will have a longer time together in the future."
"Hahaha, good!" Hong Feiyang was no longer polite, and responded in one bite.
…
The three merchant ships did not stop at Shangdu Port, but went straight to Qingyang Mansion.
The group of people who arrived at Qingyang Mansion did not dare to go ashore during the day, but took advantage of the night to go ashore and disperse.
Wang Xingwang took Hong Feiyang straight to the rented house in Lintu Lane, went around the back door and climbed over the wall in the dark.
"Knock...... Boom! The two landing sounds frightened a few chickens to cluck.
"Hehe, how did this girl raise chickens at home.
I don't know, I thought there was a thief in the house. Wang Xingwang chuckled.
"Get out of here for the old lady, and don't call people anymore!"
"Thief, get out!
My dad is coming right away, he's going to break your legs, get out if you don't want to get beaten. ”
A mature female voice and a juvenile voice in the voice change period came from the inside of the room with the doors and windows closed, and the trembling voice revealed the fear of the owner.
"Hui'er, Hui'er, damn it, I'm back!" Wang Xingwang heard the fear of his wife and children, and hurriedly spoke out to identify himself.
"Dad, are you really back?"
"Daddy!"
"Daddy...... Father! ”
The oil lamp in the house was quickly lit, and several cries rang out at the same time.
"Dad, let's move!
They are too bullying, and they hang at the door of the house every day, so that our mother doesn't dare to go out.
Woo...... How will you live in the future! ”
As soon as the haggard Wang Zhou saw the man coming back, he cried and fell on Wang Xingwang.
"Dad, those people also threw dead rats at home, and my younger brothers and sisters cried a few times." Wang Yunhui complained.
"Dad, I'm afraid!" Wang Huazhi wore her hair loose and leaned against Wang Xingwang to shed tears.
"Dad, I'm going to kill those shameless ones." Wang Yunpeng, who has a tiger head, is as angry as a calf.
"Damn, it's too much of a deception, Lao Tzu sent their family to see the king of Hades."
Wang Xingwang used the light of the oil lamp to see that his wife and children had dark circles on their faces, and they grinded their teeth with hatred.
The youngest son slept soundly in bed, and the mother was all squeezed into one room.
[The Wang family is really too deceitful, if you don't give him a way to live, then you will die together. 】
"Don't cry, pack up your important things first, and I'll take you to a new place before dawn.
Hui'er, I brought my friends back, you take the children to get something to eat. ”
Wang Xingwang patted the person who was crying and hiccuping, it was the first time he had seen Zhou cry so sadly.
Zhou, who couldn't cry himself, heard that the man had brought a friend back, and immediately turned his back to tidy up his appearance.
When he turned around, he regained his wisdom.
"Zhou, thank you for your hard work!
It won't happen again in the future, and I'll tell you in detail tomorrow when I get on the boat. ”
"It's all up to you."
Wang Zhou took his daughter Huazhi and left, and the two boys left behind were very curious, but they didn't pester Wang Xingwang to ask.
"Brother Hong, I'm smiling at you!
Something happened at home, which scared their mothers.
Please come with me to the main hall and sit for a while, eat something and wash up before resting. Wang Xingwang shouted apologetically to the backyard.
