Shen Yuanjing and his companions were a little seasick at first, but after eating and drinking enough, they quickly adapted.

Half of the yamen runners also collapsed and were all lying in the room.

At noon, Madam Song ran to Liu Yanhui with a licking face to ask for money.

"Mr. Liu, the elderly and children at home really can't eat black steamed bread. Can you pay me a little money first to improve the food for my family?"

Madam Song felt a little unsure because Liu Yan had said in the morning that she would be paid in the evening.

"Okay, you are the first one to stand up, so I won't deduct the money for renting the fishing net from you. Your family caught more than eight kilograms of fish in the morning, so I will count it as nine kilograms. The remaining amount will be made up in the afternoon!" He handed the copper coins for settlement to Madam Song and asked her to put her fingerprint on it!

Madam Song was holding the copper coin as if in a dream. Is she so easy to talk to?

She had some money left from reselling things before, so she took her family out for a good meal today!

I just wonder if the things sold on the ship are expensive?

She went into the kitchen alone, leaving her husband and children waiting at the door.

"Mother Wang, how much is a steamed bun?"

If it's expensive, she'll buy half one for her child.

"The prices change every day. Today, steamed buns are one penny each, and meat, fish, and vegetables are all one penny each!"

Madam Song's face was filled with shock. Was she still being chased by the refugees and having hallucinations because of hunger and thirst?

Mother Wang was also very puzzled. Food is so expensive, and meat and vegetables are even more expensive. Selling at this price would mean losing money.

But the price Mr. Liu offered was only one penny. All kitchen matters are now under the management of Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu said one penny, so even if the original price is as expensive as gold, it has to be sold at one penny!

"Are you going to buy it?" Mother Wang urged.

"Yes, I want to buy six steamed buns and a portion of meat." The meat and the vegetables are the same price, she is not stupid, so she will definitely buy the meat!

Mother Wang found a winnowing basket, loaded it neatly and said, "When you're done, return the winnowing basket to me!"

Madam Song walked out of the kitchen holding a winnowing basket as if in a dream. There were three pieces of meat worth one penny. They were not small pieces, but big square pieces. The three pieces together weighed at least two or three taels.

Too much value!

"Husband, let's go and eat!" Madam Song was afraid of being seen, so she walked quickly in front with a winnowing basket in her arms, like a thief.

The other prisoners had been waiting and watching when Madam Song went in, and when they saw her come out, they immediately rushed over.

"Get lost, did I let you see this? If you want to eat, go buy it yourself. If you dare to steal my things, I'll kill you!"

"Tsk, you're so stingy. It's not like we haven't made any money. Can't we take a look?"

Madam Song stuffed the winnowing basket into her husband's hands, put her hands on her hips and started to scold: "No, are you looking for trouble? Stand up and let's have a fight."

Someone tried to stop the fight

"Forget it, forget it. A good man doesn't fight with a woman."

"This woman is really ruthless. The last person she kicked in the crotch can't even straighten his back yet~"

Mrs. Song's eyes turned, and she remembered what Wang's mother had just said. She immediately turned to her husband and said, "Take the children to eat first, and I'll go in and take a look."

What if the price of things goes up tomorrow? She has to buy some more steamed buns to stock up.

The other prisoners entered the kitchen just to join in the fun, and when they asked the prices, they found out that everything only cost one penny, so they immediately wanted to buy everything like crazy.

"I caught less than a pound of fish today. Three pounds can only be exchanged for one penny."

"I haven't gotten three pounds yet, how about we pool our resources?"

“That’s a good idea~”

After a while, these people made an agreement and went to find Liu Yan to exchange the money.

"Brother, didn't you also catch a fish? Let's go to them to collect money as well?" Shen Yuantang urged, looking eagerly at the people who were leaving.

Shen Yuanjing looked embarrassed: "I still owed ten taels for selling medicine for my grandmother yesterday."

Shen Yuantang was so angry that he almost died: "I told you that grandma was pretending, why didn't you believe it?"

It was only after Shen Yuanjing got the medicine that he realized his grandmother was pretending. Before that, his grandmother really looked like she was about to die. As a junior, was he going to watch his elder get into trouble?

He smiled bitterly and said, "Yuan Tang, although grandma is confused, as the younger generation, we cannot be unfilial!"

Shen Yuantang wanted to knock open his brother's head to see what was inside. His brother owed ten taels of silver, which meant that their eldest wife owed ten taels of silver. No, with so much money, when would they pay it back?

"Brother, grandma is not just your grandmother. You can't be the only one to pay back the money you owe. Go talk to your uncles and ask them to help you pay the money back!" Shen Yuantang thought that this alone would not be enough.

She continued, "Next time you write an IOU, think of our eldest wife. If it weren't for this IOU, we could have bought steamed buns for mother today!"

Thinking of his mother who was sick along the way, Shen Yuanjing's eyes flashed with guilt.

"I understand. Let's forget about it this time. I've already signed the IOU. Next time, if something like this happens again, I will definitely not get involved. Okay?"

Shen Yuantang was angry and didn't say anything.

"Yuan Tang, please give your brother some face." He really couldn't bring himself to go find his uncles now!

Shen Yuantang's eyes turned: "Brother, father is grandmother's son. Next time grandmother has something to do, let father come forward. Look, have any of the children in the other rooms come forward?"

Shen Yuanjing's eyes darkened and he nodded.

"okay, I get it!"

"I'm going to look for my big brother, do you want to come?"

"go with!"

~

The prisoners in the cabin knew that the food in the kitchen only cost a penny, so they didn't catch up with the Shen family and scolded them. They quickly ran out of the cabin and went to the kitchen.

"I want three steamed buns and a meat dish!"

Mother Wang looked up at the person who paid and said coldly, "Not for sale!"

"Why not sell it?" the prisoner said anxiously.

Mother Wang: "Master Liu said that we will only sell it to people who have contributed. If you have any objections, go to Master Liu!"

Just then, Liu Lao Hu saw that there were many people here and came over.

"Why, I heard someone making trouble here?"

When the prisoners heard Liu Lao Hu's voice, they were so scared that they lowered their heads and shrank their necks and dared not make a sound!

"You want to eat without working hard? I think you want to be whipped!"

"What are you still standing here for? Go back to your rat hole!"

The prisoners didn't dare to say a word and returned to the cabin in shame.

In the afternoon, both sides of the boat were full of people, some were casting nets to fish, and some were casting bait for sea fishing.

"Big brother."

Shen Yuanjing came with his younger brother and sister.

Shen Lanxi put the book down and glanced at the sea view in the distance.

"Why don't you go fishing?"

Shen Yuanjing said embarrassedly: "The fishing rod was taken away by someone else first!"

Shen Yuanqing is the youngest and the most talkative.

"Big brother, if we continue to practice martial arts, will there be any cakes to eat?"

Shen Lanxi smiled and hooked her finger at Shen Yuanqing.

"come over!"

Shen Yuanqing glanced at him suspiciously and walked up to him in small steps.

Shen Lanxi reached out and pinched his face: "Darker and thinner!"

Shen Yuanqing blushed: "I'm grown up now, you can't pinch my face anymore."

Shen Lanxi squinted and said, "Others only get cakes when they practice martial arts, but you only need me to pinch your face and I'll give you cakes. Will you let me pinch your face?"
