Parents are busy farming

Zhou Dalin's uncle smiled and said to the patriarch: "I wonder how the business negotiation between the patriarch and Miss Ye is going? If the business is concluded, will the herbs and other things we collect be traded with Miss Ye alone or collected from them? Together?"

He is somewhat suspected of making excuses.

The clan leader gave him a thoughtful look and said: "Of course we have collected them together, but we will also remember each person's quantity clearly, and calculate the money to everyone when we come back. Isn't this the same when we sold medicinal materials to the county in the past? Is that so? There has never been any mistake. What are you worried about this time?"

Zhou Dalin's uncle nodded after hearing this. He was not angry at the patriarch's questioning, and waved to his children who were following him.

Then he bowed his hands to the patriarch and left the patriarch's house.

He doesn't apologize, he doesn't fawn over, and he doesn't stand upright. He is a smart person.

However, they did not leave, but stayed at the door of the clan leader's house, just because they were afraid of what would happen inside.

Seeing these people going out, the elders of the two clans looked very ugly.

He said with anger on his face: "Brother, what do they mean? Are they here to threaten us? Who gave them the courage to..."

Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by the clan leader, "Shut up, you still have the nerve to ask. If you hadn't made Miss Ye wary of us because of your personal grudges, it would lead to the current situation. I can warn you not to cause any trouble for me in the future, if...be careful, I won't forgive you!"

Seeing that there were finally no outsiders in front of him, the patriarch spoke mercilessly.

The elder of the second clan did not feel that he was at fault and couldn't help but defend: "Brother, it's not like you don't know the wishes of me and his family. I have been suffering from this for a long time. I wanted to find a soft persimmon to pinch. Unexpectedly, a hedgehog arrived.”

He was still aggrieved. It had been a long time since his eldest brother had treated him like this, not to mention that he was already this age now.

The patriarch pointed his finger at his nose and was so angry that he was speechless.

"Second brother, I think you are just fooled by lard. Don't you know what is going on in our village now? You still worry about these trivial things all day long. From the first glance, you are someone who can't achieve great things."

After the clan leader finished speaking, he no longer looked at his younger brother and walked towards the house with his hands behind his back, hating that iron could not turn into steel.

Before entering the house, he took several deep breaths at the door to calm down his emotions.

After entering the house, he was still the kind and majestic patriarch.

The dishes have been served, and everyone is sitting on the table talking and laughing, as if waiting for him to come back.

"What's going on? You're welcome! Everyone, move on!"

The patriarch said as he walked to his seat.

Everyone could not tell the politeness in his words, and Ye Zifen was also well-educated, so everyone started to move one after another the moment he sat down and picked up the chopsticks.

Of course, the primary goal of most of you is that basin of seafood.

They were all reputable people in the clan, so they had naturally eaten these things before. They didn't need Ye Zifen to teach them, and everyone started to do it one after another.

Tribe Elder A: "I haven't eaten this thing in years, and now fewer and fewer people are transporting it to us!"

Clan Lao Yi: "You can't blame us. After all, this thing is gone in the entire county. Where can we get it?"

Clan Lao Bing: "Oh! Even if they are available in the county, we probably won't buy these things based on the current situation."

……

After the clan leader heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him.

But because he knew his character, he didn't lecture him.

This clan elder has always been upright and doesn't mind saying these things in front of Ye Zifen.

But Ye Zifen continued to eat the food in front of her as if she didn't hear anything.

And she didn't pick up the seafood. Her caravan had the opportunity to eat these things every day these days at the beach, so naturally she didn't think it was so valuable.

What she is thinking about now is the elder of the second clan, who has not come back since he went out with the clan leader.

The seat to the right of the patriarch has always been empty.

The clan leader suggested drinking some wine at this time, and Ye Zifen quickly said: "Let's forget it! I have to go on my way next, and I really can't afford to delay."

Upon hearing this, the clan leader looked towards the others.

Clan Lao Bing: "Don't be so generous. The delicious food in front of you is pretty good now. Don't lose it just to save face."

Patriarch... Although he no longer has to go out to get wine, he still feels aggrieved.

Fortunately, someone changed the subject.

Clan Lao A: "Miss Ye, I wonder if we can exchange our medicinal materials for your seafood when we trade in the future?"

Ye Zifen guessed that he loved seafood so much that he couldn't help but ask.

Answered without hesitation: "Yes, of course!"

The patriarch put the chopsticks on the table and couldn't help but remind Ye Zifen, "Although Miss Ye can exchange these things, we still hope to exchange food mainly. This food can only be eaten once in a while. If it is a long-term exchange..."

Ye Zifen understood what he meant. If it was a long-term exchange, it would not be cost-effective for them.

However, Ye Zifen didn't want to set the price of these seafood so high, but he couldn't say it so carelessly at this time.

"Well, everything is based on your own wishes. If you want to change anything, please communicate with the person in charge of the caravan in advance, and then you can bring it over next time the caravan comes over."

In fact, these things were already agreed upon when they were negotiating the deal, but they couldn't help but bring them up because everyone was eating them now.

Clan Lao Yi: "Miss Ye, you have been traveling around all year round and have seen a lot of things. Can I ask you a question?"

His words were not rude, and Ye Zifen nodded when she saw everyone looking at her.

Said: "You must tell everything you know, and tell everything you know!"

Clan Lao Yi: "What I want to ask is, why can we still see seafood in the county, but in the past ten years, it has disappeared? Is there an accident somewhere?"

Ye Zifen frowned and said: "Although your village doesn't like to communicate with the outside world, it does go to the county every once in a while to exchange medicinal materials. Logically speaking, it should be able to bring back a lot of news... There are already more than 20 people on the beach. Merchant ships are prohibited from going out to sea. There is no business to be done on the seaside, so fewer and fewer merchants will go there, and naturally these seafood cannot be circulated into the county."

Everyone present was thoughtful after listening to this.

Clan Lao Bing: "Miss Ye, I also have a question. I want to ask you what is the best solution to the current situation in our village from your perspective?"

Hearing this question, Ye Zifen couldn't help but sit up straight.
