Chapter 13 Embarks on a Journey

Fuguier left the Zhu family's courtyard, but the fourth aunt's wife in the Zhu family's courtyard was having a secret conversation.

"That fool made a horse racing competition day by day, I had already arranged it, and found time to abolish him and get the reed field, but now that this official family has done it in advance, we are not very easy to do, Miss Xiao, how do you think this matter should be dealt with next?"

The white-faced man stood beside the fourth aunt and grandmother, leaned over and whispered.

"Master Luo, don't forget, the real purpose of your coming to the Fengqi Zhu family, if you spoil the main affairs of the main family because of a momentary greed, you and I can't afford this crime, what about the official recruitment, your eyes should not be staring at the fool's reed land, but you should go to find out who the official family is responsible for land acquisition, and what is the real purpose of their land acquisition?"

"Haha, Miss Xiao is very right, I'll send someone to check ...... quickly"

Fugui'er returned to the reed land and just told everyone about the reed land being requisitioned by the official family to graze horses, and the third brother hurriedly followed.

"Fourth, I heard my father say just now that your reed land was requisitioned to herd horses, do you think it will be the official family who instructed Chen San to blackmail you for money?" This news is a great joy for the third brother, who has always liked riding and shooting, but he faintly feels that there is something else hidden.

"It doesn't matter whether it's the housekeeper's command anymore, anyway, the lease contract was signed and the money was given, what I don't understand is that the official family doesn't need a large grassland to raise horses? A horse can only exercise its sprinting ability by galloping on the grassland, and how many horses can I raise on my thirty acres of land? ”

"Fourth brother, you don't know something, Fengqi to the east two days of the horse journey there is a fairy island, it is rumored that there are often winged flying horses on the island, so in the previous life, there were masters who sent horses to the island to raise, in order to breed with the flying horses to give birth to good horses, so the isolated island of raising horses is called the island of raising horses, and now the official family is requisitioning land in the reed land to graze horses, effectively imitating the suspicion of the sages......"

"Horse Island? Isn't that where Qin Shi Huang raised his horses? But according to the "Kyushu Geography", the Kyushu continent has never been truly unified, there has never been an emperor, and the rulers all regard themselves as kings, but the county system is obviously created by Qin Shi Huang, and his hometown in his previous life is not far from Yangma Island, and his girlfriend in junior high school has been a front desk in the tourist resort of Yangma Island, and his first time in his previous life was not in Yangma Island,...... No, be sure to find a time to check it out. ”

Listening to the words of the third brother Zhu Cheng, Fuguier fell into deep memories.

"Fourth brother, why don't you speak, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Fugui'er was deep in thought, the third brother couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Oh, it's okay, I was just thinking, why don't you have fresh fish to eat when it's so close to the sea?" Fugui was interrupted by the third brother's questioning, and found an excuse to prevaricate.

"Haha, what the fourth brother thinks about is this, in fact, you can reach the beach in one day to the east, and it doesn't take two days to drive, but two days by car, the sea fish has rotted when it arrives in Fengqi, and you can try it in winter, but it is cold and inconvenient to go into the water to fish, but there are extravagant people who quickly go back and forth to buy fish to satisfy the desire of the tongue, our Zhu family has always been diligent and thrifty, and will never do this extravagant thing, but usually this dried and salted fish has never been lacking."

The third brother stayed in the long workshop for a while and went back, but the thought of going to the beach to see it was deeply imprinted in the heart of Fugui. For a whole day, Fugui'er was preoccupied with tea and dinner, and the family in the long workshop felt that Fugui might be worried because of the lack of reeds, so they didn't bother him.

After dinner, Fugui wanted to go to bed early, but one or two little girls pestered Fu Guier to continue to tell the story of Journey to the West.

"Chunxi'er Shao Ying, I'm going to go to the east to see the sea, do you two want to go with me?" Fuguier absentmindedly told the story for a while, and was silent for a while, but said that she wanted to travel.

"Can you really go to see it, young master, of course I think so, but young master, we don't have a carriage, only a donkey cart, look at the posture of the old donkey, I'm afraid I can't go to the beach, besides, even if there is a carriage, young master, you won't drive,"

"What's so difficult about this, now that we have money, we can just buy a carriage, let alone drive, can't we learn? The third brother can ride and shoot, but I can't drive, it's all two arms and two legs, how much dumber am I than him? ”

In the next few days, there is another scenery in the reed field of the Zhu family, a sturdy young man drives a carriage in the racecourse every day and shouts, the clumsy naΓ―ve attitude attracts a group of children to watch, this young man can completely ignore everyone's laughter, and communicate with the horse attentively, it seems that the horse really understands, and almost sleeps in the stable with the horse at night.

Fuguier is working hard to improve her driving skills every day, and Chun Xi'er and Shao Ying are also preparing things for travel, after all, it is the first time to go out, and the two little girls can't wait to move the whole family away.

"I said, Chun Xi'er, why do you even bring a night pot?" Watching Chun Xi'er move things to the car again and again, Fugui couldn't help frowning.

"People have three urgencies, what if you want to go to the thatched house along the way?"

"Just solve the grass on the side of the road, what's this?"

"Young master, you said it lightly, in case someone sees it, it won't be a big loss, no, no, this night pot must be brought," Chun Xi'er said as she stubbornly stuffed the night pot into the car.

"I feel like I'm at a loss, won't it be over if we look back again, hahaha......"

In the laughter of everyone, the three of them who had prepared for a week finally embarked on the trip in the early morning of a clear sky, driving the car leisurely, and the two little girls hid in the car, while looking greedily at the scenery outside the car through the window, chatting at the sky.

Autumn is also the harvest season, and the biggest scenery along the way is the joyful scene of farmers harvesting crops in the fields on both sides of the road.

Fuguier likes to travel, whether it is in the past life or in this life, the driving experience is not bad, the only drawback is that it is too bumpy, one is that the road condition is too poor, and the other is that the car has no shock absorption.

The two petite little girls, sitting under the thick quilt, they were not overworked, but bitter wealth, that body of meat with the car, up and down left and right for a day, to live in the inn at night, rich and noble felt that the bones of the body were going to fall apart, but fortunately brought two auxiliaries, after dinner to bed, one beat the leg and one stepped on the back, Fuguier really enjoyed the luxury of being a rich second generation.

The next morning, the three of them got up early and hurried, and they were in a hurry along the way, and they should have arrived at Lutou Fishing Village in the afternoon, just after noon, they felt the smell of the sea breeze slowly brought by the sea, this taste was too familiar, and their own family lived by the sea in their previous life, and they turned over a mountain that was not very high or the sea.

"Ride," Fuguier shouted, shaking the reins with both hands, and the horse spread its hooves and galloped away happily against the sea breeze.

"Ah, the sea, the sea I'm coming," Fuguier parked the carriage at the seaside, the two little girls got off the carriage, looked at the vast blue ocean in front of them, and called at the sea, Fuguier stood there firmly against the sea breeze, but her eyes flashed with tears, this familiar taste of home.

Along the way, Fuguier is carefully observing, every tree and tree along the way is so familiar, especially the mountains full of pine trees, vaguely still retains the shadow of the previous life, the previous life of their own village was established in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is definitely not there now, but at this time, the beach at the foot must have been in the previous life.

The village of his previous life should be near Longshan County, where he stayed last night, where it is a one-day drive from Fengqi County, and it will be a day and a half if he walks, and he died unexpectedly in his previous life, and he was chased by monsters all the way to the west, and he crashed into the light gate near Fengqi County, and the area is right, but the timeline is disordered, is this the four-dimensional space proposed by Einstein, and there is an additional timeline on the basis of length, width and height?

Thinking of this, Fugui completely understood his rebirth, and took two little girls to rent a small courtyard nearby, and the three of them settled down, and when he came, the eldest brother had told himself that an aunt of his family would marry into the nearby Zhaojia Village, and the Zhao family he married was a big family, so that Fugui could not find a place to live and went to his relatives.

Fuguier is out to play, there is no desire to kiss so there is no gift, in the vicinity of a query there is really an idle house for rent, this small courtyard is not very big, and the courtyard of the nurse's house is almost the same, the same standard of three main rooms, but there are two more wings.

A stone mill was placed in the east wing, which was thought to be the place where the original owner pushed and sifted grain, and the east wing was full of firewood for cooking, and a simple dry toilet was surrounded by wooden planks under the head of the south wall, and then there was a shed for bolting livestock, the shed was not high, and I wanted to come to this house to raise donkeys instead of mules and horses.

The three of them paid the rent and unloaded the car, settled the things, and had already passed the meal, there were pots and bowls in the small courtyard, but there was no rice grain, and the three of them could only eat some dry food and snacks brought from home.

The three of them had just filled their stomachs here, and before they had time to rest, they heard the ringing of ......the bell outside the courtyard, and the two little girls rushed out of the courtyard in surprise, but saw the men, women and children of the whole village running towards the sea together.

"Get up the net, get up the net, go and go, Xiao Qiangzi go to your third aunt's house and call your mother to ......"

"Young master, what is this net for? Why is the whole village so lively? Looking at the people who were hurrying away, Chun Xi'er hurriedly asked Fugui'er.

"Pick up the net to pick up fish, the net is pulled up from the sea, it is full of fish, the man pulls the net and the woman picks up the fish, this is the tradition of the fishermen by the sea for thousands of years, go, let's take a look," said Fugui locked the door and took the two little girls to the beach.

When the three of them arrived at the beach, the respected patriarch of the village was taking a group of men to offer incense in front of the Tanah Lot Temple, and with the simple and solemn sacrificial ceremony over, the strong men of the village quickly came to the beach by the sea with ropes on their shoulders, and fastened the ropes on their bodies on the net as thick as two children's forearms.

"Raise the net...... Yo hey...... "A long net in the crowd, followed by the strong men in unison, the voice is low and loud, with this hey, the strong men's bodies leaned forward, the net stretched into the depths of the sea was instantly straightened, and the sea water brought up by the net was blown to the face by the sea breeze, bringing a trace of coolness.

"Oh, hey, hey, (and) hey, hey! (Lead) hey, hey, hey, hey, (and) yo, hey, feed, clothes......" With the sound of the net, the strong man bowed and pulled the net more sonorously and powerfully, and waited for the front person to go to the head and coiled the net on the ground, unfastened the lock and returned to the front of the net, re-buckled the net, and the cycle began step by step, and the fishing net in the sea gradually exposed the sea.

"Ah, here, young master, look at the fish, I see the fish," as the fishing net approached the beach, a piece of water in front of the net began to have fish out of the water, and Chun Xi'er Shao Ying, like the children who looked at it, couldn't hold her breath and shouted.

The net was not destined to be empty, the trumpet of pulling the net was instantly much louder, and the steps of the men were more powerful, and the fishing net full of fish and shrimp was finally completely pulled out of the water, and the children rushed to the fishing net like crazy, and began to catch the small fish and shrimp that escaped from the cracks in the net.

The men fixed the net stalk, the old man and the woman took the basket and greeted it, a basket of shrimp and a basket of crabs, different fish into different baskets, the men who sat on the ground and rested for a while stood at this moment, and picked the harvest of this basket with a flat pole to a little farther away on the flat ground, and the vendors who had been waiting for a long time surrounded them, and most of the big fish and good fish caught in this net were bought by the private express that came on horseback in gorgeous clothes, and then the big road goods called the wheel basket were loaded into the car by the fishmongers who came by the car.

Fugui also wanted to buy fish, but did not compete with them, in the previous life Fugui was born on the seaside, and people on the seaside like to eat small fish, because this small fish is more flavorful, and besides, there are few seasonings in his new courtyard, so he can cook a shrimp and crab to deal with.

"Dare to ask my brother, why doesn't anyone want these baskets of fish?" Fugui saw that most of the vendors had left, so he went up to ask the old man who weighed and kept the accounts for advice.

"Hey, look at the skin color of the little brother is not a local, this fish is called a cobbler, the skin is thick and the meat is not dried fish, and it is very troublesome to peel the skin when eating, so no one wants to want it, and the carpenter who picked it off is willing to use it to polish the furniture, the little brother is willing to eat and take it casually, anyway, in the end it is all dung goods...... "This old man is also a real person, and when he sees the rich and noble child humbly asking for advice, he will let him take it casually."

"I rely on, the cobbler later called the pufferfish with the scientific name of the pufferfish, the market price is seventy or eighty yuan a catty, in this era, it is disliked to make fertilizer," Fugui muttered secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but marvel at this luxury.

"Brother, I want all this fish, but today I can't, I am from Fengqi County and want to come here to do dried fish business, I have rented a house in our village, and I am expected to live for at least half a month.

"Little brother, what you said is serious, I pull the net once a day in Lutou Village, and this leatherman is at least one or two hundred catties at a time, and you may want it all," the old man obviously didn't believe in the words of Fugui, now this Fugui is only sixteen, and it will take more than 20 days to celebrate his sixteenth birthday, so he still thinks that Fugui is a child's joke.

"Of course, if the old man can't trust me, I can pay the deposit first,"

"That's not necessary, but I don't know what the little brother is using to buy this leatherman, why do you have to collect it tomorrow?" The old man confirmed Fugui'er's words, and his eyebrows and eyes showed brilliance.

"Don't hide my brother I can't eat fresh sea fish in Fengqi County, but it produces a lot of wheat, noodles are almost every household must eat every day, this leatherman peels the skin and steam it in the pot, and the fish meat is particularly bright, I spend a little more effort to peel the skin and steam the fish meat, and soak it in water when eating, although it is a little more cumbersome but more affordable and delicious than eating meat, I just arrived here today, the cage drawer of the steamed fish and the curtain of the dried fish are not ready, so I will ......collect the utensils tomorrow when I prepare the utensils."

"Haha, this cobbler has only one main thorn in his body without small miscellaneous thorns, it is indeed a good material for opening the halogen, it doesn't matter if the little brother doesn't have a cage drawer curtain, I will borrow you, tomorrow is the Jixian Daji, you rush to buy it and return it to me, whose spare house you rented, I asked someone to send this cobbler and the utensils used to you."

"Don't worry, old man, you say it first, my two concubines have never seen the world, they have never eaten sea fish, shrimp and crabs, I bought them together and let them try it...... "Fugui is afraid that people will look at him as small and unwilling to do business with him, so he said that Chun Xi'er and Shao Ying are his concubines.

"Hey, the little brother took the two concubines out at a young age, and I think it's also a big family, so I take the liberty to ask why your wife didn't come together?"

"The baby at home is still young, still in swaddling, and Mrs. doesn't like to travel far every day when breastfeeding," Fugui panicked, and then used a bunch of lies to round his panic.

"Young and promising, young and promising, little brother, this crab is not valuable, little brother wants to eat as much as you want, we generally don't sell this shrimp, most of the dried shrimp sea rice is sold to the state city, our Ji County sea rice is the best tribute, little brother likes to eat, I will get you two big ones to try it, this money is really not needed......"

"Hey, it doesn't hurt to talk about money, one yard is one yard, in this way, I will pay two pennies a shrimp and crab, and I will take ten of them, by the way, I also accept sea intestines here, I don't know if we can go to sea intestines?

"Yo, the little brother really wants something strange, that thing is not hungry, and the requirements for the cooking skills of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also high, and the fire is a little bigger, and it can't be bitten, except for the clam in the mud and sand of this shallow sea, no one eats it, but digs it for fishing in winter."

"Yes, I'll take it, and I'll take it for a penny, as much as I want, there are idle children in the village who can dig up and sell to me, and I also trouble my brother to help me find five or six mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who work hard in the village, come and help me wash and dry fish, and the daily salary is twenty yuan, and my two concubines have never touched the fish, so they can't do this......"

Fuguier said his needs here, and a group of people in the village also weighed the fish, shrimp and crabs, and a group of people carried their shoulders and hands, and a mighty group of people followed Fugui into his newly rented courtyard.
