……

The geographical location of the big fishing town is very special, it is located at the entrance of a bay, and has a natural barrier, which makes it a natural haven.

The harbor is deep inland, and if it weren't for the narrowness of the waters, which could not have allowed large fleets to sail, the big fishing town would have grown into a super-large town.

But even so, it is enough to facilitate the ordinary people of the big fishing town to enter the sea to fish, bringing a lot of wealth.

Xu Fei came to the dock to the north

It's even livelier than in town!

The sun was shining, and teams of coolie workers, wearing bamboo hats, sweatshirts, and shorts, carried heavy goods back and forth on the docks.

Their skin was tanned by the sun, and sweat slipped down their foreheads!

On the water, fishing boats are busy coming and going, and boatmen are rowing hard............

Xu Fei came here to make money.

After all, the method of 'blinding people' is not a long-term solution.

If you want to make money quickly, in addition to robbing houses, that is to do business.

Salt and iron have always been the most profitable business!

Since it is close to the sea, Xu Fei naturally thinks of making salt!

Seawater to make salt, as a modern person, that is basically people can do it, as long as you have hands!

As for whether the official agrees or not?

Gu Xu Fei understands that although he is in a feudal dynasty

But on the surface, the dynasty is dominated by the imperial court

But in fact, it is controlled by various local forces such as sects, families, etc.!

Just like the big fishing town where Xu Fei is located, it is under the jurisdiction of 'Bibo Village'.

Pull a few locals to ask about the specific news, and everyone knows.

Bibo Zhuang Bijia is a thousand-year-old wealthy family, with tens of thousands of people in the clan! Owner: Bi Zhuang. The character is bold and uninhibited, the palm is vigorous, and he is good at the "wave palm method", which is the unique palm of Bibo Villa, mainly with the help of water power, and can walk on the water surface like flying.

Bibo Zhuang does not prohibit private refining of sea salt.

As long as you pay a 'protection fee', you can do whatever you like!

Xu Fei didn't refine salt from scratch, after all, the finished sea salt can be bought on the market, but the quality is too poor.

He only needs to purify the sea salt he bought, make it into refined salt, buy and sell it, and get a lot of money from the difference in the middle.

Casually come to a shop

Looking at the baskets of coarse sea salt placed at the door, there were all kinds of impurities mixed in it.

"Boss, how is this salt sold?"

The boss, who was half-naked and carrying the goods, glanced back at Xu Fei and looked at the sea salt in the bamboo basket under his fingers.

He immediately replied: "The outermost baskets are twenty yuan a basket, but these sea salts can't be eaten!" ”

"The guest officer should come inside and take a look, I have the best refined salt!"

"No, I want this!"

After paying the money, Xu Fei picked up a basket of 100 catties of sea salt with one hand and left directly.

I found a place where there was no one, built a stove with stones, then put the clay pot I bought, filled it with water, added sea salt, put firewood on the rack, and lit a fire to boil.

Dissolving, filtering, evaporating, crystallizing, grinding......

After a set of operation procedures, a whole basket of impurities sea salt was originally bitter and rough.

It turned into a two-pot of refined salt in the shape of snowflakes.

The crockpot was sealed, and Xu Fei carried it back to the big fishing town.

It is not directly recycled to those salt shops.

Instead, I found a relatively large restaurant and sold it door-to-door.

"Guest officer, please inside!"

As soon as he entered the store, Xiao Er greeted him.

"Guest officer, I'll help you get something!"

Seeing that he was going to reach out to help him hold the salt shaker, Xu Fei immediately refused: "No, I'll just come by myself." ”

"Where is your shopkeeper?"

"Guest, what is the matter with your shopkeeper?"

"I have a business to talk to him!"

The shopkeeper looked at Xu Fei and saw that he had an extraordinary temperament, so he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to the counter: "My shopkeeper is settling accounts in front of the counter at this moment!" ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Fei came to the counter with two salt shakers in his arms.

I saw the shopkeeper in front of me, short and fat, full of black and shiny hair, a chubby face, fair skin, small eyes, and squinted into a slit when he smiled.

He was dressed in a blue gown with blue cuffs and hem sewn with blue cloth, and black stockings and black cloth shoes on his feet.

His fingers are stubby and short, but they look nimble, he is very quick to pick up the abacus, and there are some wrinkles on the palms of his hands, which makes him look very experienced.

"What's the matter with this guest officer?"

His voice is somewhat hoarse, but powerful, with a smile, and he seems affable.

Xu Fei placed two jars of salt in front of him and opened them for him to see.

"Yo, it's really good salt!"

When the shopkeeper saw the snowflake salt in the salt shaker, he couldn't help but grab a handful and put it in his hand and grind it carefully, and tasted it with his tongue, but there was no bitterness at all.

"Shopkeeper, what do you call it?"

"The contemptible surname is Chen!"

"Oh, Shopkeeper Chen!"

"My surname is Xu, I want to sell you these two jars of refined salt, I wonder if you want to accept it?"

"Collect, of course such a good salt, I don't know how much you want?"

Although Xu Fei inquired about the price of refined salt, after all, such a good salt is not comparable to those salts, and he doesn't know how much money is appropriate.

"Shopkeeper Chen will give you a price, and if it is suitable, I will sell it to you!"

Shopkeeper Chen twisted the refined salt in the clay pot, thought about it and said: "Although salt is good salt, we are not short of salt after all, I am willing to be consistent!" ”

"Deal!"

Twenty changes have been consistent, this is already a profiteering, and it can't be profiteering anymore!

Pay with one hand, deliver with the other.

The money and goods were cleared, and Xu Fei left with the usual money

The next thing he's going to do is solve the problem of living.

On the way here, he found a lot of small courtyards arranged neatly outside the big fishing town.

This kind of square courtyard is Xu Fei's favorite place to live.

I found a tooth shop to inquire, and found that I wanted to buy a small courtyard for twenty taels!

If you can't afford it, you can rent it!

It only costs 80 yuan a month.

Xu Fei doesn't have enough money now, but soon he will be able to afford it, so he rents it for a month first.

Under the leadership of the guys in the dental shop, Xu Fei visited three rented courtyards.

From there, he picked the one that best suited his heart.

The courtyard is large and has a deep courtyard surrounded by low earthen walls with verdant weeds and occasional bright wildflowers swaying in the breeze.

There is also a well in the corner, and next to the well is a stone sink filled with clear water.

Next to the sink is a pile of firewood and a few farm tools left behind by the previous owner.

Xu Fei felt that he could grow a vegetable garden here.

The vegetable patch is full of all kinds of vegetables, and some fruit trees can be planted on the edge, and a few hens can be raised under the fruit trees......

After that, the picture sense of a good life immediately emerged.

A blue brick main house, the windows inside the cottage are small but there is plenty of light.

The door, though a little dilapidated, is still sturdy, carved with some auspicious motifs that have been blurred.

On the side of the courtyard is a kitchen, and a room full of miscellaneous items.

"Yes, let's rent this!"

After making a note with his buddy, Xu Fei officially lived here.
