Liu Mo came to the bow of the boat, Chaotou Island shrank in a long line behind him, and Donglai Island rose from the sea in front of him. A wisp of gray smoke wafted from the top of the mountain, marking the location of the island.

His mood is extremely bad, what is stubborn, he knows it deeply at this moment.

Even, Liu Mo's mouth reads a sentence from time to time: "You deserve to be poor for a lifetime."

Why?

Very simple. Since coming to Xiangshan ten days ago, Liu Mo has been running around for salt production.

But after so many days, there was no progress.

The villagers here are extremely stubborn, which makes Liu Mo feel a lot of fire in his heart.

First of all, the land needed to dry salt is rented and purchased.

The villagers of Xiangshan regard their land as more important than their own lives, and refuse to sell anything.

This is understandable, the Great Xia Dynasty is the same as the ancient earth, the land is the foundation of survival.

Looking for a coastal wasteland with no people?

Hehe, the joke is a bit big.

In ancient times, when transportation was so backward, where did the workers go to find it? What to eat? Where to stay?

With the wooden paddle paddling, Donglai Island became bigger and bigger. Now Liu Mo can see not only the outline of the mountain, but also the chaotic wooden houses on the island.

He leaned his weight against the railing, glad that there was something to support him, and the hard work of the past few days had made him weak. If he stood for too long, his legs and feet would tremble, and sometimes he would cough uncontrollably.

Maybe it's just that the water and soil are not adapted!

Half a month ago, he was still in Linyang City, the richest city in Jianglin Mansion, sleeping in a soft and comfortable big bed, and embracing Lin Shiqi's warm body. If you are in a good mood, you can drive a car, fight a landlord, and live a boundless life!

Now to suffer this sin...

Damn, why did I come here?

The mountains grew higher and higher, surrounded by pale smoke. After a while, the port appeared in front of me.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Zhao Da stepped forward to support him.

Liu Mo tried to answer, but there was a cough, and he quickly grabbed the railing and spat out.

"It's okay to have a ghost!"

"Then uncle, let's find a place to rest first?"

"Don't, finish your errands early, go back early."

As he spoke, Liu Mo endured his physical discomfort and stepped off the boat.

Dongrai Island, is this the thirteenth or fourteenth island that I have landed?

It doesn't matter anymore!

The residents of Xiangshan by the sea have completely given up, and now all their hopes are pinned on the surrounding islands.

There were some islanders who had agreed to lease and sell the land, but the problem was that the island was too small and there was not enough area along the beach to build salt pans.

Got off the boat and looked around.

"It's so empty! This is a great place to build salt pans. Liu Mo thought to himself, "It seems very convenient to dig a channel to divert seawater, and it is ideal for drying salt!" ”

Damn, I hope the islanders here are more talkative.

Under the guidance of local residents in Xiangshan, Liu Mo took Zhao Da to the only village on Donglai Island.

There are very few outsiders visiting the island, and the appearance of Liu Mo and others naturally attracted the attention of many people.

The village chief's house is located on the east side of the village, and when he sees a rare visitor, the village chief immediately warmly welcomes him.

This person's surname is Li, his single name is a single character, and he is about 50 years old. Like the rest of the island's inhabitants, they live on the island all year round. Resulting in dark skin and short stature.

After listening to Liu Mo's intention, Li Cheng directly shook his head and refused.

Thinking that he would be like other islanders, Liu Mo had no choice but to get up.

Whew, rejected again!

Leave with a sense of loss.

It was noon, and in the morning there was nothing.

"Gollum!" With a sound, Liu Mo's stomach screamed.

Zhao Da took out his burden and prepared to eat some dry food to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the steamed buns and other dry food I carried with me were wet by the seawater.

It is wet and salty, bitter, and difficult to swallow.

"I'm going to Nima!" Liu Mo frowned.

People are iron, rice is steel, no matter what, you have to fill your stomach first.

What to do, find the islanders to "turn into a relationship"!

Why don't you go to a restaurant, because there isn't!

There are nearly 1,000 people living on Donglai Island, but unfortunately, the islanders are self-sufficient and don't need restaurants!

As a result, Liu Mo had to knock on the door door-to-door, and "turn into fate" along the way with Tang Sanzang's Western Heaven scriptures!

I asked seven or eight islanders in a row, and each one was in a similar situation.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, there were no modern people who liked to travel on the island, and few outsiders set foot on Donglai Island, and most of the islanders would not prepare additional meals to entertain them.

"Lao Tzu is really convinced!"

Just when Liu Mo was ready to go hungry, there was finally an islander who was willing to entertain his two rare guests.

The host, a dark-skinned young man, brought a plate of sapon vegetables, a plate of conch, and two small bowls of rice from the kitchen.

The food is simple, but Liu Mo and Zhao Da, who are already hungry, will not be disgusted, so they grab the food and stuff it into their mouths.

However, just halfway through the meal, I saw the hostess walking out of the back hall with a long face, and complained as soon as she opened her mouth, "I can't even support my wife and children, and I still have spare food for outsiders to eat." ”

"Get back into the house for me, don't embarrass me here." The man hurriedly got up and scolded.

"What did I say wrong?" The woman said with a crying voice, "I have been unlucky to marry you, this treasure of the world, over the years, the wind and rain have come and gone, and I don't know how much suffering I have suffered." Now there is a last meal and no next meal, but you can't even say it! ”

These words made the man look gloomy, and in a hurry, he raised his fist and was about to hit someone.

Fortunately, Zhao Da reacted quickly, stepped forward with a big stride, and stopped the male host.

"I'll give you the money for the meal, don't argue between the two!" Zhao Dalian said loudly.

"Okay, you're damn it, you can't learn anything else, let's learn to beat my wife first!" The woman was angry and panicked, crying so much that the pear blossoms rained.

This meeting made Liu Mo and Zhao Da embarrassed, and "turned a fate" into a thing!

Suddenly, he seemed to notice something unusual!

First of all: the residents of Dongrai Island are self-sufficient, and there are no restaurants and restaurants on the island, which is understandable. Don't have food to feed your family? It's not scientific!

Secondly: In the Great Xia Dynasty, where men are superior and women are inferior, this woman doesn't look like the kind of unreasonable shrew, how can she count down her husband in front of the guests!

The corner of his eye swept over the dining table, and Liu Mo found something unusual.

The residents of Donglai Island, which is on the coast on all sides, have no sea fish on the table!

Shocked, he immediately bowed and saluted, "Madame, don't blame, Madame just said that you didn't eat the last meal... Why? ”

Going out is the sea, as an islander, you can't fish?

Could it be that your husband is a lazy waste?

The man sighed, "Hey, it's not a secret, not only my family, but the entire Donglai Island, every household has no surplus food!" ”

Yikes! This is even more unscientific!

It makes sense that one person is lazy, but the inhabitants of the whole island are lazy? Doesn't make sense!

"Oh? That's weird! Liu Mo said, "What happened?" ”

"It's not the government's 'sea ban'!"

No sea order... Liu Mo has a big mouth!
