Farmhouse is so old

Tang Qing walked to the highest point of the village. On the halfway of a small mountain, there was a thatched house inlaid in stone. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the side facing the small mountain had an exit. There was a family He happened to be the Orion Tang Qing was looking for.

"Is anyone home?" Tang Qing climbed up out of breath. The road was not easy to walk, and it was a small road with a slope of [-] centimeters up. It became more and more difficult to walk up.

Tang Qing yelled twice, and a little brother came out of the room, about [-] years old, looking very energetic, and his body was cleaned up, he opened the door and asked, "What's the matter with you. "

This little brother didn't know Tang Qing, he seldom went out and never went down the mountain to socialize with the villagers, and the villagers down the mountain didn't associate with him, so he didn't know Tang Qing.

"I'm here to look for Zhou Orion, I don't know if he's here." Tang Qing replied, seeing that it was a little brother, he was embarrassed to step forward, and the two were separated by almost two meters.

"My husband is resting at home, since you have something to ask him, please come in." The brother opened the door and invited Tang Qing to enter the house.

When Tang Qing approached the courtyard, he was a little surprised. This house is just in the valley here. The ground is exactly the stone of this mountain. There is a pool made of stones under the stone wall, and the water from the mountain stream flows down tick-tock.

What a good place, Tang Qing felt refreshed even standing here.

"You are." Zhou Orion, who was resting in the room, also got up when he heard the movement outside, and was stunned when he saw Tang Qing. He didn't know Tang Qing, so he asked in doubt.

Seeing that he was puzzled, Tang Qing automatically explained to him: "I am a resident at the foot of the mountain, and I am looking for you this time to discuss something."

As soon as Zhou Orion heard that he was a resident at the foot of the mountain, he let go of his vigilance. He was originally a member of the Zhou family village, but his family was destroyed during the war. He was the only one who survived. Later, he ran for his life and met his current one. Fulang, the two became husband and wife and returned to Zhoujia Village after the war subsided.

As soon as I return to the village, I will think of the fear of my family being killed at that time, and my spirit will be much better here. I hunt and hunt on weekdays, and then exchange some food and clothes with the people down the mountain. Life is hard, Victory lies in stability.The two of them were used to all kinds of hardships when they fled, and it's fine now.

"I don't know why you came here." Zhou Orion was a little uncertain what Tang Qing was looking for him for, and the two were not familiar with each other, so the vigilance that had just been put down rose again, looking at Tang like a hunter waiting to catch prey. celebrate.

Tang Qing was frightened by the dangerous aura emanating from him. This is the real hunter, who can enter this state of waiting for an opportunity at any time. Compared with him, his previous hunting methods are too clumsy .

But at this time, I felt like a small prey being targeted, and this feeling was a little uncomfortable, so I said quickly: "My name is Tang Qing, and I also came here last year after fleeing from disaster. I have taken root in Zhoujia Village this time. I wanted to talk to you about hunting."

After Tang Qing said this, he obviously felt that the dangerous atmosphere around him disappeared, and he was relieved in his heart.

"Do you want me to hunt some prey for you, or do you mean something has come down from the mountain to Huohuo Village?" At this time, Orion Zhou really let go of his vigilance, thinking that people down the mountain often ask him for help, thinking that Tang The same is true of Qing's intention.

"No, I have a friend who needs a lot of mountain goods. I'm responsible for buying them for him. It just so happens that you hunters should have a lot of stock from hunting all year round, so I'll come over and ask." A bowl of tea came over, and I was a little dazed looking at the bumps and gaps on it.

It seems that Orion's life is not easy. A bowl is so broken that I can't bear to throw it away. Judging from the marks on it, it must have been used many times.

The water is filled with sun-dried unknown small flowers, which smells delicate and delicate, which is also a kind of elegance.Tang Qing took a sip of the flowery fragrance and it was delicious.

Seeing that the house is also cleaned and spotless, it is impossible for the Orion boss to have such thoughts this week, and it is probably due to his husband's ingenuity.

Looking at his husband again, he was neatly tidied up, but the clothes on his body were already in tatters, but the mending skills were superb, and it was hard to tell if he didn't look carefully.

Zhou Orion was overjoyed when he heard that he wanted the mountain goods.He has been hunting for most of his life, and he would starve to death long ago if he didn't save more.There is still a lot left at home, but I don't know how much he wants.He patted the table and said, "I don't know how much you want."

"Take it easy, the table can't stand such a slap from you." Zhou Orion's husband looked at the shaky table Zhou Orion had patted, and complained.There is only this table at home, and it is about to break down, and I can only eat with a bowl in the future.

Zhou Orion didn't dare to contradict his husband, he shrank his hands a little scared, and said nothing.

"Brother Fulang, don't worry about it. I'll take care of all the mountain goods in your family. I want as much as you want. You can also send them down the mountain after hunting. I'll take them all. Are you afraid that you can't afford a table?" ?” Tang Qing looked at the rickety table and smiled.

Zhou Orion was surprised: "Really want all of them?"

"Of course, look, I brought all the scales," Tang Qing took out the scale from the back strap under his feet and showed it to Zhou Orion.

"Okay, okay, Fulang, go and take out all the things." Zhou Orion was very hearty, seeing that Tang Qing bought it sincerely, and he didn't bargain or like Tai Chi, so he was very happy to sell it.

Zhou Orion and his husband went to the back to move things. Only then did Tang Qing realize that there was a cave here, and there was a huge cave behind. There are some sun-dried mushrooms and such.

"Little brother, see if you can eat these things." Zhou Orionu asked Tang Qing as he brought Tang Qing into the cave.He himself felt that there were too many piles, and he was afraid that Tang Qing would not be able to ask for so much.

Tang Qing was worried about where to find a large amount of mountain goods. Seeing how many there were in Zhou Orion, how could anyone push them out, and said, "Don't worry, brother, I want all of these. Even if it is several times more, I can eat it."

"That's good, that's all for the time being. If you come before winter, you will eat more than now. It's hard to hunt in winter, and you will eat a lot." Zhou Orion is a little pity. Tang Qing has to come earlier, and he will leave it for him with.

"I'll give you [-] cents a catty for rabbits, [-] cents for these pheasants, [-] cents for wild pork, and [-] cents for dried mushrooms." It was ordered according to the market price. In fact, these are all air-dried and should be more expensive, but Zhang Xing said that if others bought them like this, they couldn't break the rules, so Tang Qing had no choice but to give up.

Zhou Orion was very satisfied with Tang Qing's quotation. Sometimes he would not be able to return the price when he exchanged with the villagers. He often traded a rabbit for half a catty of rice at a loss. Tang Qing gave it so sincerely. Zhou Fulang's favorability has increased a lot, and even Zhou Fulang, who is not smiling at all, replied to Tang Qing with a WeChat.

In the end, after weighing all the items, the inventory of Zhou Orion's house was probably more than 50 taels of silver, but Zhou Orion was very happy: "Don't count the fraction, just pay 50 taels. Just treat the rest as Brother, I sent it to you."

"Then thank you very much." Tang Qing also knew that the price of the remaining odds and ends was difficult to estimate, thanks to Zhou Orion being so forthright and generous.Just looking at so many things, Tang Qing was silent again, how could he take so many things down the mountain by himself.

These things weigh a thousand catties, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it will take a lot of time to get them down the mountain. He can't carry them with a calf.

Zhou Orion saw Tang Qing's worries and said: "Don't worry, little brother, I'll help you take it home. Brother, I have a lot of strength, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bring back these prey."

Tang Qing saw Zhou Orion walking vigorously while resisting a hundred catties, and his heart was at ease.He paid the silver on the spot, and he gave an extra five taels to the agreed 50 taels. Although the remaining change was worthless, Tang Qing didn't want to take advantage of the poor.

Looking at Zhou Orion's house, he couldn't find any good furniture, and the thatched hut looked empty inside.

Zhou Orion carried things all the way to the pharmaceutical factory. Originally, Tang Qing wanted to send them to his home, but he thought that there was no room for so many things at home, so he asked Zhou Orion to deliver them to the pharmaceutical factory. There were still a few rooms left. The house is also facing the main road, so it is convenient to transport it out later.

Zhou Orion put down his things and saw Zhou Xiaohua's shop next to the pharmaceutical factory. He was overjoyed again. His husband had lived with him for so many years, and he hadn't bought a few new clothes for him yet. Seeing Zhou Xiaohua There was cotton cloth here, and I bought two without blinking an eye, and then ran back to carry things.

"Come on, Brother Zhou, let's take a break." After the last move, Zhou Orion's body was soaked with sweat, and beads of sweat fell from his forehead. After all, Tang Qing couldn't bear it, and handed him a towel.

"Don't stop, I'll buy something and go back, and I'll feel refreshed after taking a bath." Zhou Orion took the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said.Just now when I went back to buy cloth, I told Fu Lang that there was a grocery store here, and he told him all the things that were missing at home, and asked him to move them and buy them back.

"Second sister is cheaper for elder brother Zhou." Tang Qing saw that he refused to sit down and rest, so he had to say hello to his second sister.

Zhou Dahua naturally knew Zhou Orion, and he bought a lot of things, even if Tang Qing didn't tell her, it would be much cheaper.

"Thank you, big sister." Zhou Orion bought something, and Zhou Xiaohua gave him a good deal. He thanked him and left, feeling uncomfortable after staying in this village for a long time.

After Zhou Orion moved back and forth, the villagers in the village had noticed it a long time ago, and some of them couldn't help but came up and asked Tang Qing: "Boy Qing, what are you doing? "

"Auntie, I have collected all the mountain goods from Zhou Liehu's house. If your family has them, send them to me. I will collect them all." Tang Qingzheng worried that he would not have the opportunity to publicize this matter. These aunts are all from the village. Compared with the type of gossip, telling them is equivalent to telling the whole village.

When these aunts heard that there was such a good thing waiting to be delivered to their door, they all smiled and looked at Tang Qing to collect those things. When they heard that they even wanted dried wild vegetables, they couldn't sit still and went back immediately. The grandchildren who were playing were caught up to work.

After Tang Qing finished working here, he went to see a group of people in the pharmaceutical factory who were paying wages. This month, they worked a lot of overtime, and their wages were hundreds of yuan more than last month. Start being generous.

Zhou Xiaohua doesn't let Liu Mu go to work now, but pulls him to the shop to help, and occasionally asks Liu Mu to go to the town to pick up something that is missing, so as to ensure that there is no shortage of goods in the shop, and the villagers see that the price is different from that in the town There are not many, and the distance is close and can save travel money, so naturally I bought them from Zhou Xiaohua.

Tang Qing also gave Zhou Xiaohua an idea, buy as many things as you want, give some gadgets, buy ten cents, get a piece of candy, and so on. People who buy things not only buy things, but also get benefits. I am used to buying from Zhou Xiaohua.

Since Liu Mu often travels back and forth in the town, Zhou Xiaohua is even more eager to pick up jobs. If there are embroidered purses and embroidered handkerchiefs in this village to subsidize the family, they can be sold to Zhou Xiaohua, and one piece will be accepted. .

Her mind turned so fast that she even asked Tang Qing how to make a sachet. Tang Qing gave her a method of making a mosquito repellent bag, and Zhou Xiaohua sewed the mosquito repellent bag into the sachet. It looks good and repels mosquitoes.

It is selling well now. Mosquitoes have come out in the past two days. It is much more convenient to have this mosquito repellent bag.

The big girl and the little daughter-in-law in the village have work to do, but the work of embroidering sachets is too much for Zhou Xiaohua to worry about manpower every day.

"What is Second Sister worried about?" Seeing Zhou Xiaohua's frown, Tang Qing couldn't help asking.

Before Zhou Xiaohua could speak, Zhou Qing said, "It's not because of the mosquito repellent sachet, but the second sister has received a few big orders. There are only so many people in the village, so how can we do it?"

Zhou Qing saw that his second sister couldn't eat and was sad all day long, and felt distressed. He wanted to persuade her to stop taking the job, but she had to listen to it.

"Hey, what am I supposed to do? There are no people in our village. There are always people in your village, the elder sister's village, you and your elder sister-in-law's village. As long as you speak out, there will be as many people as you want." In Tang Qing It seems that this is not a problem, as long as you can afford the money.

When Zhou Xiaohua heard Tang Qing say this, she immediately understood: "I'm such a pig, I just think about manpower all day long, how could I forget about this?"

Zhou Xiaohua vomited, she was absent-minded for several days because of this matter, and the food was not good, it turned out to be so simple, am I stupid?

"It's okay, the second sister is a horny person." Zhou Qing wanted to persuade his second sister, but was stopped by Tang Qing: "Just let the second sister empty her mind, she is quite smart."

In Tang Qing's perception, Zhou Xiaohua can be regarded as a very smart type of person, but it is easy to get stuck occasionally, just like that computer occasionally gets a virus, and it is quite fun to watch.

Zhou Qing and his three siblings, the eldest sister is gentle, the second sister is clever, and Zhou Qing is gentle. They have different personalities, but each has its own advantages.

Take Zhou Qing as an example, although he usually looks a bit stupid, but his memory is very good, he can read a medical book back and forth for you, Tang Qing occasionally flips through the book to see if there is something missing Yes, but with Zhou Qing here, if you ask any question, he can answer it for you immediately, which can be called a humanoid Baidu.

If it weren't for this in ancient times, he would have doubted whether his own husband would have been transformed into a robot.

After Zhou Xiaohua came back to her senses, she gave Tang Qing a bag of silver. It had been agreed before that she would split the bill fifty-fifty, and now that she can make money, Tang Qing is of course indispensable.

Tang Qing couldn't help but laugh bitterly at this burden of money. The family's money now belonged to Zhou Qing. The 400 taels of silver from selling the ointment before and the income from the pharmaceutical factory in the past two months had 500 taels in the family.

Zhou Qing was afraid that the money at home would be stolen all day long, so the hole in the cellar was dug deeper and deeper.

"Why don't we spend this money." Tang Qing watched Zhou Qing struggling to dig a hole, and said cautiously.

Zhou Qing sweated and said, "It's not easy to spend all this money. It's close to 600 taels, not six taels. There's nothing missing at home now. What can I buy with money?"

Tang Qing thought for a while and thought: "Why don't we build a house? Look at the thatched cottage we live in. It will need renovation in less than two years. It's better to build a big tile house with blue bricks and give it a high point outside. The fence around the house is not afraid of thieves coming in, what do you think?"

"How much would it cost?" Zhou Qing shook his head, feeling unrealistic.

Tang Qing grabbed his hand that was about to dig a hole and said: "Then you will be safe if you hide all the money like this. If all your brains are stolen that day, you will have nothing."

"No, no, I put them in different places, so they won't be lost together." Zhou Qing shook his head like a rattle.

Tang Qing looked at him stupidly: "You will never see the light of day if you are buried in the ground. How about we build a house to look magnificent. No one else can steal it after repairing the house."

Tang Qing strives for Xiaozhi to impress Zhou Qing with reason and emotion, but there is no way for him to marry such a lovely husband who often makes him laugh and cry.

"Look at the blue brick house you lived in the town last time, it was pretty good. After you came back, didn't you say that you would have a chance to build one in the future? We will fix it now if we have money, and we will have more and more money in the future."

"Okay then, I'll listen to you." Zhou Qing thought of the time when he lived in the town, he was really comfortable, and seeing that his husband really wanted to live there, so let's fix it.

Zhou Qing is the kind of person who would rather wrong himself than Tang Qing. He was actually a little reluctant to spend money just now. He could see his feelings for so much money, and it hurts to spend it all at once.

The two discussed how to build the house. Tang Qing didn't plan to build that kind of super big courtyard. He and Zhou Qing lived in the house, and Zhang Lan and the others came to live occasionally for two days, leaving a few rooms open. Just come, other Tang Qing's requirements for quality, comfort and convenience are particularly high.

He has wanted a bathroom and toilet for a long time, and he had never had the conditions before, but now that he has the conditions, he must fix it.No matter what, the floor of the bathroom must be paved with bluestone slabs. God knows the uncomfortable feeling that his shoes are all muddy after taking a shower.

Zhou Qing looked at Tang Qing writing and drawing on paper, and felt that it was too extravagant. The toilet also had to be paved with bluestone slabs, and it was not enough to put a kang in a room, but a big bed was needed, and a living room was also needed. He was making something called a sofa, and Zhou Qing counted the money in his hand, but he didn't know if it was enough.

"It's okay, it's not enough to take your time. Everyone is busy with farming and can't spare manpower. Let's plan first. We don't have to rush to repair it. When I married you, it was too hasty. Look at the repair of this house. " Tang Qing looked at the drawing, and kept thinking about it in his mind to see if there was anything he hadn't thought of.

"I think it's pretty good. I'm very satisfied with my living." Zhou Qing thinks the house is not bad either. When he got married, he thought he was married to some rich family. He didn't expect to change the house again in less than half a year. It's really a big family home.

"At that time, we will plant some grapes in the yard, and then build a shelf. After two years, the vines will cover the shelf, and we can sit under the shelf and eat grapes and drink wine. What a beautiful day you said Ah." Tang Qing was still thinking about the happy life in the future.

"Busy farming?" Zhou Qing felt that there was something unfinished in his head. Hearing Tang Qing talk about busy farming, he suddenly remembered that the two acres of land at home hadn't been plowed. During this time, he had completely forgotten the land. net.

"Husband, our land hasn't been plowed yet. If we don't get it done, we won't be able to keep up with planting things." Zhou Qing patted his forehead and told Tang Qing that he should have done it when he was free two days ago, why did he just remember it now.

Tang Qing had noticed it before, but he felt that it didn't matter whether he planted the land or not now, and the family didn't lack that little money, so why bother working so hard.

"No, this land is the foundation of our farming family. No matter how busy we are, we must plant it. Look at the big sister and the second sister. After earning money, don't they have to go home and farm obediently? It has nothing to do with how much money there is." Zhou Qing has always been persistent in farming.

In fact, Tang Qing didn't know how much the ancients were obsessed with land. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't survive, they wouldn't sell the land at home, including some big businessmen who would hoard some land no matter what business they were doing.

Because no matter what you do, it will go from prosperity to decline. The only thing that remains unchanged in the dynasty and business is the land. It will always be there. If it is not planted, it will become a wasteland in the end, and the land will be useless.

This is their belief that has been passed down through the ages, and it is normal for Tang Qing not to understand.

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he rushed to dig the ground with his hoe. Looking at the weather, he felt that it was going to rain tomorrow. He didn't know when the rain would stop.

Seeing that Tang Qing couldn't hold back, he was also helpless.How could Zhou Qing finish these two acres of land by himself? He went to find Zhou Xiaohua, Liu Mu and the others, and Zhou Dafu and Wang Xier came to help. With a lot of people and strength, they finally got it done before dark.

"I heard you're collecting mountain goods?" Wang Xi'er and the others were also busy with the farming, so they didn't come to Tang Qing's place, so they didn't know about it yet.I heard it from others when I was working in the field this morning.

Tang Qing was amazed that the entire village had been transformed in just one day. It seemed that the efficiency of those aunts was quite high.

"How smart are you? How long have you found a way to make money again? You don't even know that our village is the most popular now. The daughters-in-law of other villages are proud to marry into our village. Even Shanzi Someone from Hezi has come to offer a kiss." Wang Xier said with a smile.

She didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing before. She just wanted to save more money to marry these two boys. Wouldn't the threshold of Nian's family be broken down?

What's even more gratifying is that no one in the whole village now says that she, Wang Xi'er, is blessed to have given birth to a brother like Zhou Qing, and to find such a good brother-in-law. I think back then, no one came to the house, and they all disliked her for giving birth to a son-in-law. Brother, I'm afraid that if you walk around with me too much, it will be bad luck.

Those who used to look down on her all put on a shy smile and wanted to make friends with her, not to mention how comfortable it was to spit out the saliva in their hearts.

Seeing that Wang Xi'er was so happy, Zhou Xiaohua also said, "You can be happy, mother. Now you don't have to worry about my younger brother not being able to marry a wife. From now on, you can choose a wife."

The words touched Wang Xi'er's heart, and the two mother and daughter whispered cheerfully, probably discussing the girl from that family.

Since Tang Qing released the word to collect mountain products, Zhoujia Village has become very lively, and the whole family has been dispatched to dig wild vegetables and look for mountain products.It is not easy to dig two wild vegetables without hunting prey.

Tang Qing said that a catty of sun-dried wild vegetables cost one penny, and a woman with more nimble hands and feet could dig up ten catties a day, and the income of drying them was five or six pennies, and about one hundred pennies a month.

Children in the family can also do it. Seven or eight-year-olds are not weak at digging up wild vegetables. They carry a bamboo basket and follow the adults with a small hoe. When they see one, they dig it up and put it in the bamboo basket.

After the news that Tang Qing said that he would buy a large amount of mountain goods spread, the villagers in the neighboring villages also knew about it, but within three to five days, everyone started to take action, and groups of people looking for mountain goods were everywhere in the forest. people.

Pick fungus that I don’t usually like to eat, dig out unremarkable wild vegetables, and some people who have stocks at home quickly bring them to Tang Qing to sell, fearing that they will not want them if they come too late.

One hundred catties of wild vegetables is only one hundred coins, and I don’t know when I will receive the 1000 taels of silver. Of course, I have not missed it, but like meat, there is not much left over during the Chinese New Year. After all, hunters Too little, so I can only charge more mountain goods.

Tang Qing and Zhou Qing weighed and calculated at home, and Zhou Chuan and the others were responsible for paying the money.

"Fifty catties of wild vegetables."

"Ten catties of fungus."

"Two catties of dried mushrooms."

The people in the queue at the back were happy to see that the people in front really received the money.However, Tang Qing looked at how many baskets of copper coins were still in the room, and felt overwhelmed. After two days of busy work, the basket of copper coins has not been used up yet. When will he meet another rich family like Zhou Orion's family.

After sending the last person away, Tang Qing recorded the account book. Today's dried wild vegetables only collected two thousand catties, which means that only two taels of silver were used, and there were other scattered items that added up to less than ten taels of silver. , When the 1000 taels are received.

Tang Qing regretted why he jumped into this pit, but the hole he dug had to be filled while kneeling.

On the second day, Tang Qing didn't end the matter himself, and handed it over to Zhang Lan and the others. They have also studied for more than half a year, and they are a little better at ordinary accounting.

Tang Qing made the form and only needed to fill in the quantity at the end of each type of goods. He believed that a few of them could handle it well, and even if they lost money, they would not lose much.

On the other hand, he rented a bullock cart with Zhou Qing and went to a further village to collect it.Now that it's spring, wild vegetables are skyrocketing like they've been given hormones, and they're worthless. As soon as Tang Qing arrived in a village, someone traded them with wild vegetables.

"Really? One penny and one catty?" At first, some people didn't believe it, and kept asking until someone got the money, and everyone was scrambling to sell it.

"Don't panic, everyone, come one by one. If you sell them, you can go back and dig some more to dry. I will come to collect them later. If I don't come, you can also bring the goods to Zhoujia Village to find me." Tang Qing's throat was almost dry, but the benefits were good.

The village harvested [-] catties of wild vegetables, and a lot of other mountain products, especially meat, which was more than [-] catties.Compared with what I collected in the village yesterday, I received a lot more.

But it was a bit of a disaster when I went back. The ox couldn't pull so many things. Fortunately, the village head of this village borrowed Tang Qing's ox cart to get it done, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go home today.

"Thank you, Village Chief Miao." After Tang Qing arrived home, some village names who came to sell wild vegetables helped Tang Qing unload the things, saving a lot of effort.

"Thank you, we wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't come to our village to buy it." Village head Miao waved his hand. Their village is more remote, which is equivalent to being behind the mountain. Otherwise, Tang Qing came to the door on his own initiative this time. , he also missed the news.

Tang Qing said with a thought: "Miao Village Chief, if you are interested, you can also buy it from the surrounding villages, so that you can earn a little more. How about I give you an extra penny for every ten catties."

"All right, all right, why not." Village head Miao was overjoyed when he heard that, it would take him a whole day to go to a market in their village without going to the village or behind the store. .

What Tang Qing said was undoubtedly to give them a chance. The wild vegetables that grow on the ground are worthless. As long as you put in some effort to do it, it is not a problem for a family to earn ten yuan a day, and hundreds of yuan a month. It is also good to buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar or clothes for the children.

After a year, he can build a new house with a little savings. The important thing is that as long as he earns more, he can also earn more. Village head Miao has figured out in his mind what other villages in the surrounding area can buy.

After sending off Village Chief Miao, Zhang Xing also came. Tang Qing didn't ask him to buy wild vegetables and the like, but asked him to talk to some hunters directly. Finally spent most of it.

"It's much more comfortable now." Seeing the sudden loss of many baskets of copper coins in the room, Tang Qing felt much more pleasing to the eye.

……

"Others spend less money, the better, but you spend more, the merrier. You are quite strange." Zhou Qing said.

Tang Qing found something to eat, and he would starve to death without eating all day. While eating, he said, "No matter how much money there is, it is not ours. Only when it is spent, the money is ours."

Tang Qing did this with a little care. With so many things, no one would be able to find anything if he mixed a little with the things in his space.

"Oh, by the way, Lan'er, how much did you charge today?" Tang Qing remembered after eating that he hadn't asked Zhang Lan yet.

"Look, Uncle." Zhang Lan showed Tang Qing the report. Today there will be a little more. The main reason is that the wild vegetables dug back have been dried, and they have all been sent to Tang Qing.

"Well, not bad." Tang Qing saw that there was nothing wrong and nodded: "From now on, you will be fully responsible for this. I will give you a commission of two taels of silver per month."

Tang Qing decided to quit. He had already agreed with several village chiefs to give them the algorithm given to Village Chief Miao, which would save him a lot of trouble. It can be regarded as a small purchasing station.

In a few days, Cheng Minghai's fleet arrived, and the mighty things that pulled five large ships left again. This time, he was very confident that he could make money.

Sure enough, all the way south, after arriving at the seaside, some merchants or wealthy households on the seaside came to buy some dried vegetables after hearing that there were dried vegetables on the boat.

In particular, merchants who want to go to sea buy in large quantities. Their fleets need a lot of vegetables to go to sea, but fresh vegetables will go bad after a long time, so it is better to buy this kind of dried vegetables.

Seeing that there was something going on, Cheng Minghai allocated a lot of dry goods to each of his shipping ships, and sure enough, all the customers on the ship liked it.

They are going across the distant sea, and it will take several months or half a year on the way. Without these dry goods, they will only be able to eat food from the sea in less than a month.

With these in the remaining days, you don’t have to be tired of seafood, at least you can change the taste occasionally.

It was settled here, and Cheng Ming went to the fishing village to buy kelp, sea shrimp, clams and other seafood that Tang Qing mentioned.

The villagers in the fishing village saw these waste things that no one wanted, and some people bought them, so they didn't have to go to the sea to desperately, so they didn't want to, and they all worked hard to salvage them from the sea.

Cheng Minghai also saw that there were many seven or eight-year-old children touching in the sea. Their clothes were all tattered, but their faces were still full of smiles.

"Old man, is your income from fishing good?" Cheng Minghai couldn't help asking an old man beside him.

The old man's face was weathered, and the clothes on his body were also mended. His wrinkled skin may have been eroded by the sun and sea water for a long time due to the year-round sea, and his teeth were extraordinarily white.

"My lord, I don't know. We fishermen rely on the sea to eat, and we can eat as much as the Sea Dragon King offers. If the Sea Dragon King is unhappy, the whole family will have to take their lives."

The old man choked up a bit after he finished speaking, and then said: "I have three sons, all three of whom died in the sea, and now there is only one grandson who is only nine years old. How to live."

If it wasn't for the fact that a grandson was still there, he would have wanted to go with his sons a long time ago. His daughter-in-law ran away after knowing her husband was dead. Being a widow is just a pain for his grandson.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in fishermen. There are countless people who died in the sea. The sea gave them hope of life but also gave them despair.

"I still want to thank you son for buying these things. These are some common things on the seashore. My grandson will have a chance to survive without going to sea." The old man calmed down and was about to kneel down to Cheng Minghai.

Cheng Minghai stopped him: "Old man, what are you doing sitting around, I can't bear your courtesy."

"Young master is a great favor to my family. I am afraid that I will never have the chance to repay you in this life." The old man was filled with emotion.

Cheng Minghai couldn't tell what was going on in his heart at this moment, he just felt very uncomfortable. Every piece of seafood he ate in the past was paid for by these fishermen's lives.

How dangerous the sea is, it is impossible for those who do sea transportation not to know, but at least they will have a compensation if they die, and these hard-working fishermen will have nothing.

"You don't need to thank me, old man. You and I each have what we need." Cheng Minghai couldn't say anything, feeling something stuck in his throat.

These villagers living in the fishing village are too bitter, but they are not knocked down by fate, and they don't resent others, but smile at life instead.

Looking at the children laughing and playing on the beach in the distance, Cheng Minghai suddenly felt that he was so happy before, and he also wanted to help these suffering fishermen more. Even though he is not strong, he can help a Count one.

This time Cheng Minghai brought back more than a dozen boats of seafood, and the people on the beach were laughing at him, picking up some useless things and selling them to someone, waiting for him to come back in a state of disgrace to see how embarrassing he is.

Cheng Minghai didn't pay attention to those people who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, he took his things back home, and at the same time hurriedly wrote a letter to Cheng Ziyu and the others, explaining everything here.

Naturally, Tang Qing also received his letter. Cheng Minghai wrote down what he saw and heard at the seaside. Tang Qing also knew the suffering of the people at the seaside.

I racked my brains to write down some seafood and how to do it that I knew in my previous life.Cheng Minghai came back with so many things, and the seafood couldn't help but be disposed of as soon as possible. The biggest waste was eating.

Cheng Ziyu had already had a showdown with Ying Linfeng, and after Ying Linfeng knew it was a misunderstanding, he went to the married family to propose marriage in person, under the name of his wife.Cheng Minghai didn't have that kind of thought for Cheng Ziyu, so Cheng Ziyu had reconciled with his family indirectly.

After receiving the letter, Cheng Ziyu went to talk with the two brothers for a long time before agreeing that he should use the restaurants in various parts of the family. As soon as Cheng Minghai's seafood was in place, the restaurants and shops began to highly recommend this novel seafood. The promotion is very popular.

Four people, Cheng Ziyu, Ying Linfeng, Cheng Minghai, and Tang Qing joined forces, and launched seafood barbecues in major cities. The business was very hot as soon as it went public. The seasonings were carefully prepared by Tang Qing. In this era of lack of seasonings, outsiders I can't even taste the recipe of this BBQ sauce
