Chapter 127: Inland People's Curiosity, Gossip
"Shashasha... This octopus is delicious, crispy and chewy."
Lin Shuyan's mouth turned red from the spiciness, but his chopsticks still reached for the plate of octopus stir-fried with red peppers.
Lin An and Li were eating quietly, but they picked up their chopsticks no slower than their three children.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone took a sip of the soft, sticky, slightly sweet raw crab porridge. Lin An couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that seafood is so delicious. It's a pity that it's hard to buy fresh seafood in Sishui County."
Although Sishui County is next to the coastal Wanhe County, it takes a day and a half to travel from Wanhe County to Sishui County by land, and nearly a day by water.
Moreover, most of the ships that can travel so far are passenger ships. The fishing boats of ordinary fishermen are very small and can only operate with two or three people. They dare not go far when fishing, let alone go to the dock of Sishui County.
Therefore, there is rarely any fresh seafood for sale at the docks in Sishui County. Even if there is some, they are usually dying crabs or shrimps, and they are expensive. Only the wealthy families in the county are willing to spend money to buy them.
However, there are many vendors who buy dried fish, kelp, dried shrimp and other dry goods from fishermen in Wanhe County at low prices and sell them in Sishui County or the provincial capital.
So that's why Aunt Zhao in the kitchen was so shocked when she saw the seafood jumping around.
Li looked at her daughter who was holding Xiao Huihui across from her and asked curiously, "Xiao Ya, where did you get these seafood? Also, what happened last night?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin An, Lin Shuyuan and Lin Shuyan all looked at Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue did not hide anything and described in detail the battle with the giant python and the scene of passing through the snake cave last night. Everyone was shocked and Li even got goose bumps. When they heard that they would reach the beach after passing through the cave, they looked a little excited.
Then she described in vivid detail the scene of herself catching seafood on the beach, and the few people felt excited when they heard it.
"That tunnel is no longer dangerous. The snakes in the snake cave have all moved away. Everyone can go there anytime from now on."
Lin Shuyue understood the curiosity and desire for the sea of people who had never seen it, and took the initiative to speak.
"Great! I'm going to catch some big blue crabs!" Lin Shuyan cheered.
Lin Shuyuan, who was standing by, kindly reminded him, "Ah Yan, you have to go back to the county town tomorrow. You can only go on your next day off."
Lin Shuyan, who was still excited, froze. "Thank you, my good brother, for reminding me."
The next day off is until the end of next month. Thinking of this, his originally handsome face instantly turned into a bitter one.
Lin An didn't notice his youngest son's expression, and was still excitedly talking to Li beside him about buying a fishing rod. He wanted to go fishing at the beach.
Lin Shuyue looked at her cheerful family with a smile. In her opinion, nothing was more important than a family being together and happy every day.
In the room next to the kitchen, Mother Luo sat at one table with Mrs. Shi, Aunt Zhao and a few young girls, while Butler Lin sat at another table with Qingshan and others. At this time, everyone was leaning back in their chairs with a satisfied look on their faces.
"The masters are usually kind to us and never treat us harshly. Now that they have obtained such precious seafood, they can share it with us servants. We must remember the masters' kindness and do our duty well. We must not be ruthless people."
Butler Lin, touching his belly, warned everyone seriously, and everyone nodded solemnly.
Except for Qinghe and Qingzhi, all the people in the room had worked as slaves in other families, so they knew how difficult life was now.
In the Lin family, not only can they have enough food and warm clothes, but the masters are also very kind and never deliberately mistreat the servants. It is a blessing for them to meet such a master.
After lunch, Lin An took Li back to their room to rest, while Lin Shuyan took Lin Shuyuan into the study in the front yard, under the pretext of letting his elder brother supervise him doing his homework.
Lin Shuyue did not return to her room, but took Qinghe and Qingzhi and slowly walked to the gate.
"Miss, Uncle Qingshan said that the lotus leaves in our lotus pond have become much more lush overnight. Would you like to go and take a look?" Qinghe suggested seeing that the young lady was a little bored.
Lin Shuyue nodded, but she knew it was because she had poured some spiritual spring water into the lotus pond yesterday.
When I arrived at the pavilion, I saw that the leaves that had curled up into buds yesterday had stretched out and grown into large round discs.
She recalled the content in the "Agricultural Encyclopedia" that the lotus growth process has six stages: seed stage, germination stage, floating leaf stage, erect leaf stage, flowering stage, and fruiting stage.
The lotus flowers in the lotus pond are now entering the leaf-standing stage. The lotus seedlings in my own lotus pond were planted early. According to the current growth rate, I am afraid they will bloom before June.
By then, the lotus pods and lotus roots in her own lotus pond will be able to be put on the market earlier than others. She has to think about how to sell them at a good price. After all, they are watered with spiritual spring water. She also has to think about how to sell the fish, shrimps and crabs in the lotus pond so as not to bury them.
After sitting in the pavilion for a while, Lin Shuyue felt a little sleepy, so she took Qingzhi and Qinghe with her and prepared to go back.
Walking out of the pavilion, she saw from afar a thin woman talking to Shi Pozi at the gate of her house, holding a basket in her hand. However, when she approached, the woman had already turned and left.
"Miss." When Mrs. Shi saw Lin Shuyue, she bowed hurriedly.
Lin Shuyue moved closer to take a look. She saw that Mrs. Shi was holding a winnowing basket filled with wild vegetables, including shepherd's purse, purslane, water celery, and toon. It was obvious that the person who was digging the wild vegetables was very careful, picking only the fresh and tender ones.
"Was the woman just now Yunniang?" She asked, looking at the figure walking away.
Granny Shi moved the wild vegetables in the basket and sighed, "She is Yunniang, a poor person..."
Yunniang seemed to realize something and turned around to look at the gate of Lin's house, but she only saw a light blue skirt beside the gate, gently floating up and down in the breeze...
The spring sunshine warms people's hearts. Yunniang pinched the copper coins in her purse. Her pale face seemed to have some color, and her steps were lighter than usual.
When we passed the open space by the stone bridge, we saw many women sitting under the trees.
Some of them were sewing with needles and thread, some were picking bean seeds, and their mouths were not idle either, gossiping from all over the village, as if they could not hide anything that happened in every household.
One of the women saw Yunniang passing by with a basket and greeted her kindly, "Yunniang, where are you coming from in the middle of the day? Come over and sit for a while."
Upon hearing this, Yunniang just smiled and shook her head, "No, you guys chat, I have to go back." After that, she carried the empty basket and walked towards the foot of the mountain behind the village.
Seeing her walk away, Li Chuncao spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth, nudged the woman next to him with his elbow, and said excitedly: "Xiaohua, did you see that Yunniang seemed to have come from the direction of the Lin family just now."
