Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

"Mountain bandit?"

The third no matter zone, the terrain is dangerous, and it is rumored that no matter whether officials or businessmen pass by, they will get stuck in this place.

In order to reduce the loss of the grain and grass transported by Xie Zhao, he had no choice but to entrust several caravans to help him, just to pass the three-way intersection smoothly.

With tens of thousands of people fighting, are we afraid that we will suffer a loss?

Hong Jin suppressed her blush, slapped herself in the face and said, "I didn't make it clear that this servant didn't make it clear. The people who came are not bandits, but the people of Lingcheng who got the news and came here specially to escort the master into the city!"

The incident in Ruyang was reported to Lingcheng by a passing caravan.

After hearing this, the local people couldn't sit still.

A few people may be afraid of bandits, but there are many people who are powerful. Tens of thousands of people are waiting at the intersection. If they don't believe the bandits, they dare to go down the mountain to rob.

Not only that, the people of Lingcheng also raised a batch of grain, grass and medicinal materials to donate to the soldiers in the camp in the north of the city.

After Hong Jin reported, the carriage slowly passed the three-way intersection.

On both sides of the intersection, people came to greet him spontaneously and were looking forward to it.

This move alarmed the magistrate of Lingcheng, who was on his way here.

Xie Zhao was always too lazy to deal with his colleagues, so he asked Jiang Yuzhu for his opinion: "Madam, should we go to the prefect's Yamen as a guest or should we go to the seaside fishing village?"

It takes exactly two days to transport a large amount of stones from the capital and wait for unloading and supply handover.

"To the beach, of course!"

Jiang Yuzhu blurted out.

The surrounding area of ​​Lingcheng is close to the sea and is rich in seafood.

When the weather gets cold, the fish, shrimps and crabs are so plump and plump. In the past, in the capital, no matter how well preserved they were, you couldn’t eat them fresh.

The crabs that are caught only need to be steamed, so they have original flavor and firm meat.

The couple discussed that only Hongjin and Liang'an would be taken, and the rest would enter Lingcheng for supplies.

After Jiang Yuzhu entrusted the maid, Shaoyao and others to Han Zhen, the carriage continued along a path until it got dark and finally arrived at a small fishing village by the sea.

The tide is raging, one wave is higher than the other, it is the time of high tide.

The fishing village not far away is composed of stone houses, surrounded by darkness and looks unpopular.

Jiang Yuzhu got off the carriage and lit a torch for lighting.

The beach underfoot is a bit rough, mixed with fine pebbles.

The sea breeze blows against your face, mixing with the wet and salty smell.

The buildings on the seaside are a bit special. They are all stone houses and the walls are not high.

Xie Zhao put on a cloak for Jiang Yuzhu and led the way with a lantern.

"Yuanhe, it's this hour, wouldn't it be bad for us to come and bother you?"

Living in a fishing village means catching the sea, and most of the villagers' schedules follow the tides.

Jiang Yuzhu followed Xie Zhao, slightly hesitant.

Xie Zhao helped her tighten her cloak and introduced, "Yuzhu, although every household in the fishing village has a yard, they don't live here."

The ancestors of the villagers were fishermen, and fishing boats were their homes.

The fishing village is also very humid, so most of the villagers live and eat on boats.

At every home in the village, villagers built water cellars to store rainwater for drinking.

Xie Zhaoqing found a house by the familiar route, fumbled for a key under the blue bricks at the door, and opened an iron door. Jiang Yuzhu was stunned by his proficiency.

"Tonight, let's borrow the stove of Lu Shipiang's house."

When Xie Zhao came to Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River to take the exam, he once came to the fishing village and stayed at the boatman Lu's house for half a month.

The two agreed that if Xie Zhao comes here again, they can directly take the key and enter.

"After all these years, the Lu family still has this habit."

After entering the small courtyard, Xie Zhaoxian lit the wind lantern in the courtyard.

In the kitchen, there is a large pot of plump clams spitting sand, and some salted fish are drying on the top of the head.

In the village, every household has no shortage of seafood, most of which cannot be sold and they have already had enough.

"We don't want to eat for free. Leave some money before we leave."

Jiang Yuzhu found a few crabs in a small wooden basin.

She pinched the crab legs, although they were probably caught during the day and were still fresh.

In addition, a few sea cucumbers next to the crab pot attracted Jiang Yuzhu's attention.

"Sea cucumber!"

Such a great supplement was almost treated as garbage if it was piled haphazardly on the ground.

Jiang Yuzhu picked it up, took out the scissors to remove the internal organs of the sea cucumber, and chopped up the fried green onions.

The fried sea cucumber and green onions tasted good, and even Xie Zhao had an extra bowl of rice.

"Ma'am, do you like sea worms?"

Every household keeps some of Haichongzi, and restaurants in the city don't accept them.

People prefer to eat fish and shrimps. There is little crab meat, and no one cares about sea worms. The price is surprisingly low.

Xie Zhao is well-informed, and ordinary people would not recognize this thing at all.

Jiang Yuzhu showed a sad expression and said: "Hai Chongzi?"

You know, although the price of sea cucumbers has been reduced in modern times, most of them are farmed sea cucumbers. Wild sea cucumbers in the sea not only have high nutritional value, but also have high prices.

In Daqi, the people in the fishing village have abundant resources, but they don’t know that sea cucumbers are a treasure for strengthening the body!

Almost no one wants it, what a waste of money!

"Yuanhe, let's buy Hai... bugs, as many as we want!"

The mausoleum city is not far from the border town, so it is better to transport it to the border town and use it as military supplies for the camp in the north of the city.

Perhaps in a short period of time, the soldiers will not be able to realize the benefits of sea cucumbers, but as time goes by, they will discover it.

"There are not many fresh vegetables to eat in the winter in the North. It is better to transport more sea fish to replenish the health of the soldiers."

Lingcheng is extremely rich in seafood, and the price is more suitable than buying meat.

Jiang Yuzhu planned carefully, so that he could save a lot of military supplies and enrich the soldiers' dining tables.

"it is good."

Xie Zhao had no objection. Since his wife liked it and he had money in his hands, large purchases could also make the people in the fishing village richer.

Otherwise, all year round, apart from the little output, the remaining money will be used to repair ships, and the villagers will have no savings.

After dinner, it's late at night.

Hong Jin was lighting a fire when she suddenly noticed small snowflakes floating under the wind lamp. She said excitedly: "Madam, it's snowing!"

Walking north from the capital, we finally saw snow.

The fine snow was blowing in the wind, but it didn't fall to the ground at all.

Hongjin opened her palms and carefully caught Luoxue.

"It's really snowing!"

Jiang Yuzhu also stood in the courtyard, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Infected by the joyful atmosphere, Xie Zhao also went out with a lantern and stood behind Jiang Yuzhu, accompanying her silently.

About half an hour later, the light snow fell faster and dyed the bluestone in the courtyard white.

In the cold weather, Hongjin cooked a jar of wine brought in the carriage and paired it with a plate of peanuts and spicy fried clams. Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao toasted to each other.

"Yuanhe, the seaside is very good, not inferior to the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. Each has its own beauty."

Jiang Yuzhu took a sip of wine and felt warm all over her body.

If you have a small wooden house on the beach, you can wait for the sunrise every day, watch the sunset, listen to the rising tide, and then go to the sea after the tide recedes. It is also a different kind of pleasure, at least it is a beauty that the rich and powerful people in the capital cannot see.

"Those mediocre people have long been blinded by the wealth and wealth and do not know how to appreciate it."

Xie Zhao turned his head and looked at Jiang Yuzhu with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "Yuzhu, who are you?"
