Farmhouse strong man

After everyone checked their identities and their belongings, they were arranged near Wushui Village by officers and soldiers.Yu Lianhai told them that because they didn't know how long they would stay here, and they were guarded by officers and soldiers every day, they couldn't go anywhere. If they needed to live, they could only use local materials to build their own houses. Fang's shipbuilder went to help, but he needed to pay certain items and money, or he could help contact the officers and soldiers to allow Wushui Village to sell them the necessary daily necessities.

Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were not surprised when they heard this. Yu Lianhai sent them to Yongzhou very well, and it was impossible to provide them with food or build houses for them for free.

Everyone was familiar with a lot on the boat, and the few people who had a good relationship decided together how to build a house or how much money and goods they could give in exchange for Yu Lianhai to find someone to help them build a house.

Yuan Liuzhen and his party had Fu Tao around, so they naturally didn't need help building the house.

After Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen made an agreement, they decided to build two thatched huts first. They brought a lot of things and some money. They could ask Yu Lianhai to help tell the officers and soldiers to ask the people in Wushui Village to exchange some daily necessities for them. Don't worry.

Others who have nothing and no money decide to sleep on the ground first, and they can pick up or salvage some seafood with the people of Haiping Village to satisfy their hunger during the day.

With Yu Lianhai around, the officers and soldiers didn't make it difficult for them, as long as they moved within the range guarded by the officers and soldiers.It's just that if someone escapes, it will implicate relatives and friends in Yongzhou, or they.Everyone has experienced shipbuilding and lived together on the ship for more than a month. They are familiar with each other, and naturally no one will leave without authorization and hurt others.

In addition to the officers and soldiers guarding them and not letting them leave their designated area, Yu Lianhai would also find someone to watch them and not let them leave, so as not to hurt others.

In this special period, everyone understands that they can only live together.

The place where they were arranged was a gentle hill with many trees on it, which could be used to build houses, and one side was close to the sea, where they could live on fish in the sea.

There are no other animals in the forest, only some birds, and there are no fruit trees that can produce food, but a lot of weeds grow on the ground.

When Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu passed through the forest, they saw many wild vegetables.

They found a suitable place to build the thatched cottage, and Tao Fu began to work hard to build the thatched cottage.

Yuan Liufeng and Yuan Liufeng took turns looking after Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian and helping Tao Fu build the thatched cottage.

Tao Fu has built thatched huts and stone huts. He is very familiar with building thatched huts. He found suitable trees and borrowed Lianhai's logging tools before starting to work.

On the second day after they were arranged here, Yu Lianhai gave Tao Fu the money he hired to cook on the boat, a total of 300 taels of silver.

300 taels of silver was about four months' wages for the chef in a big inn, but Yu Lianhai still gave them too much. Yuan Liuzhen knew that Yu Lianhai wanted to make friends with them, so he took all the money away with peace of mind.

With Yu Lianhai as the lead, everyone was building a house and discussing how to live in the future, while waiting for Yu Lianhai to communicate with the officers and soldiers so that the villagers of Wushui Village would bring their daily necessities, such as clothes, pots and bowls, hoes, etc. Daily tools or gadgets, food and other things were brought to them nearby and sold to them under the supervision of officers and soldiers.

Everyone began to count the money and items on their bodies to see what they could exchange for.

During this period of time, except for Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen, the others did not eat the food cooked by Tao Fu. It was a little tasteless to eat seafood that he caught or picked up every day. Seeing the smell emitted by Tao Fu when cooking The food smells good, but I want to eat it, but because I am embarrassed, I dare not eat it.

The place where they stay is very rich in seafood resources, probably because there are not many people living here, and when the sun comes out, they can always pick up a lot of seafood when they go to the shore to pick up seafood.

Yuan Liuzhen likes to pick up seafood with everyone in the morning. Lu Lian often picks up seafood with him and Yuan Liufeng. He will also tell them which seafood is fresh and which seafood is not fresh. He will also tell them how to catch razor clams and how to find clams.They know that picking up seafood is faster and they can harvest more.They also exchanged money with Lu Lian for a lot of salt.

Some of the seafood they picked up was used for eating, and some of them were processed by Taofu for pickling.

After the picked seafood is processed by Tao Fu, it will be cooked with some wild vegetables picked in the forest. The taste after cooking is very good.

The only bad thing is that they have been eating fish for a long time without eating noodles and rice, and some of them really want to eat it.

After they lived in the underground forest, they did not eat rice and noodles except for fish and meat, fruits, and dried fruits.

Therefore, after discussion, the two decided to buy more rice and noodles when the people of Wushui Village came to sell their things.

At that time, if you want to eat seafood pimple soup and clam box, it will be no problem.

Soon, half a month passed, and the number of officers and soldiers stationed at the seaside increased. They knew that the warships sent by Dongzhou might be approaching Yongzhou, and the coastline began to be strengthened, especially near the ferry. Much more.

In the past half month, Yu Lianhai, like everyone else, asked a shipbuilder and supervisor who knows how to build a house to build a yard.

Only a part of the yard was built, and it looked very large. It should be a yard that can accommodate many people.

Halfway through, Tao Fu had already built two thatched huts, and they had already lived in them.

Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu, Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian lived in a big thatched cottage, while Yuan Liufeng lived in a small thatched cottage by himself.

Outside the thatched hut is a simple hearth, which is convenient for cooking food.

Yuan Liuzhen, who lived in a thatched cottage, looked at this thatched cottage that was even simpler than that on the mountain in Ligou Village. Thinking of the leisurely days when he lived in a thatched cottage, he couldn't help but lament that the world was impermanent. There was no war at that time, and he didn't worry too much. It's different. After the war, their lives were often tense, and they couldn't be reunited with Yuan Zhenjian and the others.

On this day half a month later, Yu Lianhai called everyone together and told everyone that they could buy or exchange things with the people of Wushui Village tomorrow. Everyone would take stock of the things they wanted to change or buy at night. Tao Fu, Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng are no exception.

The three of them gathered in the thatched hut to discuss what they wanted to exchange and what they could exchange for now.

"The total amount of money is more than 300 taels, and the valuable dowry gifts that Fu gave me, some unfinished food brought from the underground forest, and a lot of milk powder for Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian. We can use some silver money to buy some Flour, rice, and milk powder can be exchanged for some fresh milk for Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian. As for pots, bowls, jars, etc., you can also buy more, and you can also buy some tools such as hammers and axes. "Yuan Liuzhen said to Tao Fu and Yuan Liufeng.

After hearing this, Tao Fu nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then you can buy more of whatever you need tomorrow."

After hearing this, Yuan Liufeng said: "I still have the 1000 taels of silver note and almost ten taels of silver that my father gave me when I left. If I need money, I can take it with me at any time. I don't need anything myself. If I have books or pens and ink, etc. It’s better to buy it.”

Yuan Liuzhen knew that Yuan Liufeng hadn't written for a long time, and so did he himself. He also wanted to see if there were pens, ink, paper and inkstones that could be used.Hearing from Yuan Liufeng that Liu Xiangshuang gave 1000 taels of silver bills when he left, Yuan Liuzhen was not surprised at all. After all, Liu Xiangshuang was still worried about them.

Thinking of this, Yuan Liuzhen sighed and discussed with Tao Fu and Yuan Liufeng what they needed to buy urgently, and then went to bed early.

The nights sleeping in the thatched hut were very cold, even colder than when they were on the boat. Yuan Liuzhen always slept very close to Tao Fu, and Tao Fu naturally fell asleep next to Yuan Liuzhen. Sleep soundly next to them.

The next day, they got up early, and many people had already gathered outside, waiting for the people from Wushui Village to come over.

In order to prevent accidents, everything they buy from Wushui Village needs to be inspected by officers and soldiers, and the money and things received by Wushui Village people also need to be inspected by officers and soldiers.

Under the leadership of Yu Lianhai, they waited at the designated beach for a short time before they saw people from Wushui Village carrying burdens. The people from Wushui Village were led by an elderly man.The old man saw Yu Lianhai greet him very familiarly.

Yu Lianhai seemed to be very familiar with the people in Wushui village. Besides the old man, there were many villagers who greeted Yu Lianhai.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Under the leadership and introduction of Yu Lianhai, the villagers of Wushui Village also got close to them.

The villagers of Wushui Village brought a lot of things. Yu Lianhai had communicated with the officers and soldiers who were leading the line in advance, and knew that most of them needed things like rice noodles and brought a lot.

It's just that the price of these rice noodles is much higher than the usual price. Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu had money, so they bought a lot from the villagers of Wushui Village at the first time, enough for them to eat for almost a month, and then bought other things for other purposes one after another. I saw someone selling fresh milk and bought a clay pot.

Yuan Liuzhen introduced the milk powder brought by Yuan Liuzhen to the person selling fresh milk, saying that the milk powder was made from wild goat milk. After the person tasted the taste, he was attracted by the taste of the milk powder. They bought all the milk powder that Yuan Liuzhen brought.

The money Yuan Liuzhen earned from selling milk powder at a high price was almost worth more than half of their purchases.

Tao Fu and Yuan Liufeng watched from the sidelines, convinced by the various nutritional values ​​that Yuan Liuzhen said when selling milk powder.

Today is very lively. Although there are not many people from Wushui Village, they can buy basically everything they want to buy. The only things they can't buy are pens and inks.Yuan Liuzhen also bought a lot of cloth to make clothes for Xiao Qing and Xiao Qian. The two children haven't worn new clothes yet. When he saw the cloth, he felt even more ashamed.

He doesn't know how to sew robes, and he hesitated when buying cloth. If Tao Fu hadn't said that he could sew robes and embroider, he might not necessarily buy cloth, but robes.When Tao Fu said that he could sew robes and embroider, he remembered Tao Fu doing embroidery with Tao Fu's mother to make money when he was a child, and he couldn't help but sigh.

In addition to cloth, they also bought a lot of vegetables grown by the people of Wushui Village. After they bought almost everything, they returned with a full load after being checked by the officers and soldiers.

Others more or less also bought or exchanged a lot of things they needed.

It didn't take long to change or sell things today, but the people of Wushui Village and they are very satisfied, and hope to change or buy things more often in the future.

After Yu Lianhai opened up the relationship between the officers and soldiers, he made an agreement with Wushui Village that they could buy, sell or exchange items every seven days, and both parties were very satisfied.Yuan Liuzhen and the others can't leave at will. Many things can only be obtained from Wushui Village, and the price of things sold to them by Wushui Villagers is higher than usual. People in Wushui Village are naturally happy to earn more.

After everyone changed to a lot of usable things, the quality of life was much better than before. At least they no longer need to be covered with quilts every day, and they only eat seafood.

They also got news from Wushui Village that they could sell pearls and rare seafood to Wushui Village. With this news, the people of Haiping Village agreed to find more pearls and rare seafood, and after saving enough, they sold them to Wushui Village for some money. , so that they can also use silver money to buy things from Wushui Village.

Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu, and Yuan Liufeng returned to their residence and arranged the purchased things. Tao Fu began to cut out cloth to make robes for Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian.

When Tao Fu was sewing the robes for Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, Yuan Liuzhen said suddenly: "Fu, should we continue to sell snacks? It's the same as in Liyao Village. Anyway, we will buy and sell things with Wushui Village every seven days. .At that time, you can earn some money, which can be used later.”

Tao Fu was not surprised when he heard Yuan Liuzhen say that, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can make some snacks such as horseradish and crispy rice in advance. Let's sell it first, and if it sells well, we can continue to sell it. I listen Shi Ren and the others said that they would look for pearls and catch rare sea fish together with the people of Haiping Village. In the future, our side will probably form a small market with Wushui Village, and selling things to make money should be good.”

"I think so too. We can't leave here now, so we can earn some money to open restaurants or inns in Yongzhou."

When Yuan Liuzhen said this, Tao Fu was surprised that Yuan Liuzhen still remembered about opening a shop and an inn.

Seeing Tao Fu's surprise, Yuan Liuzhen said without hesitation: "Mr. Yu said that Yongzhou is very good for doing business. I think we can try it. Anyway, we can't go back to Xizhou and Dongzhou in a short time. Why don't we open restaurants or inns here? When you finish the unfinished things in the previous plan, you can also earn a lot of money, and it will be convenient to use in the future.”

"Okay." Tao Fu smiled after hearing this, knowing that Yuan Liuzhen had his own plans, and he knew that money was essential at all times.Because he has experienced poverty, he also knows how expensive medicine is, and expensive medicine can cure diseases or prolong life.It is good to have money. Maybe a lot of money will be handed over during the war, which may cost them money, but when the war subsides, money is essential, and it is also the basis for improving their quality of life.

When Yuan Liufeng heard the conversation between Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu, he was very envious, thinking that he used to be suave and flirtatious, but he was not a particularly casual person.Ever since meeting with Yuan Liuzhen, knowing that Yuan Liuzhen is a brother, after learning a lot from Yuan Liuzhen, the kind of flirtatious thoughts have faded a lot. Seeing the way Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu get along, he is very eager to have a friend by his side. accompanying person.Now he doesn't play with flowers like before, and he starts to seriously think about getting married.

In the following seven days, most people went to the beach to look for seashells to collect pearls, and also collected a lot of rare fish. Of course, most of the sea fish that could not be eaten were basically marinated or dried for cooking.

Seven days later, Wei Shiren and the others collected not many pearls, which should be able to be exchanged for some silver coins. They also collected some sea fish and waited to exchange them with the people of Wushui Village.

Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu started to make hot strips and crispy rice early in the morning. They only used a small amount of rice and did not make much. They wanted to try it first and see how Wushui Village reacted to these two snacks, and then Think again.

In the past seven days, they did not collect pearls and seafood with Wei Shiren and the others. Most of the time they took care of Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, and wanted to spend more time with Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, so they did not rush to collect pearls and seafood.During this period, Tao Fu made a new robe for Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, and made a robe for Yuan Liuzhen with the leftover cloth. The robe was embroidered with very complicated patterns, which looked very beautiful, but The color of the robe is a little pink, and the two children look very cute when worn on Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, but it looks a bit contrasted by Yuan Liuzhen.Yuan Liuzhen didn't care at all, although he wasn't suitable for wearing pale pink robes, it didn't affect the contented and happy feeling when he was wearing the same color robes and hugging Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian at all.

The people in Wushui Village who sold cloth last time only had this kind of light pink cloth. This kind of cloth is usually used to make quilt covers. The most surprising thing is that among Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu and Yuan Liufeng, only Yuan Liuzhen owns a new robe.

Last time they asked the Wushui villager who sold them cloth, the man said that the cloth he bought was old cloth left over from before, and he also wanted to see if people from their side wanted it.

Wushui Village is far away from Wucheng, so it is difficult to buy other cloth or new clothes. Most of the things that can be sold to them are unused old things or relatively new old things that have been used.

With their current conditions, there is really no choice.

When they came out of the thatched cottage today, Yuan Liuzhen was wearing pale pink robes, holding Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian in pale pink robes in her arms, and Tao Fu and Yuan Liufeng who were wearing old robes were beside her, looking like they were wearing pale pink robes. Yuan Liuzhen in the robe is even more unique.

As soon as Yuan Liuzhen went out, she ran into Lu Lian who was looking for Yuan Liufeng. Seeing Yuan Liuzhen, Lu Lian was surprised and said, "Mr. Zhen, what you are wearing today..." Lu Lian seemed to be unable to find a good word and said, "It's a joyous occasion." " Then he went to talk to Yuan Liufeng and ran to find his family.

Yuan Liuzhen looked down at this girly pink gown, and raised her forehead a little. If it wasn't for Tao Fu's good gown making skills, it would be easy to make a gown for women.

However, some brothers in this era wear very colorful robes, but they are not as pink as his.

When Yuan Liuzhen went out, it became a beautiful landscape. Wherever he walked, the people who greeted him all smiled and called him "Zhen Fulang", which made Yuan Liuzhen, who had always dressed low-key, a little embarrassed.

Even Yu Lianhai smiled and asked Yuan Liuzhen what day it was today when he saw Yuan Liuzhen, and Yuan Liuzhen responded with a smile, "Today is the day to buy and sell things with Wushui Villagers."

Yu Lianhai was a little confused, so he smiled and asked Yuan Liuzhen what he wanted to buy today.

Yuan Liuzhen replied with a smile: "I want to buy something, go over there and have a look. There are some things I want to sell. Do you want to try it, Mr. Yu?"

Yuan Liuzhen asked Tao Fu to show Yu Lianhai the spicy strips and crispy rice in the wooden basin in the simple bamboo basket woven by Tao Fu. After seeing the appearance of the spicy strips and crispy rice, Yu Lianhai said in surprise: " Will Fu and Zhen Fulang make this kind of snack?"

"Yes. It's all made by Fu." Yuan Liuzhen replied.

"Can I have a taste?" Yu Lianhai looked at Tao Fu in surprise.

Yuan Liuzhen picked up some spicy sticks for Yu Lianhai with chopsticks, and Yu Lianhai took a bite of the spicy sticks with his hands, and after just one bite, he exclaimed: "The taste of this snack is very similar to the snacks sold in Yuecheng. It's exactly the same, but the snacks sold in Yuecheng are not as delicious as those made by Fu, is this snack called horseradish and crispy rice?"

"Yes, Mr. Yu knows?" Yuan Liuzhen said in surprise.

"Yeah." Yu Lianhai nodded and said: "When the war broke out in Xizhou and Dongzhou before the war, I ate this kind of snack at a snack shop in Yuecheng. Because it tastes good, my wife likes it Eat, very impressed."

After Yuan Liuzhen heard this, he thought about Shen Lanyue and Uncle Man's war in Xizhou and fled to Yongzhou Yuecheng. He thought that Uncle Man and Li Niang might continue to sell snacks such as spicy sticks and crispy rice after they arrived in Yongzhou Yuecheng. Thinking of this, he I feel a lot more relaxed, at least I can be sure that Uncle Man and Li Niang are already in Yuecheng, so Yuan Zhenjian and the others can find Uncle Man, Shen Lanyue and the others when they come to Yongzhou.

"I remember that snack shop was called Tao Xiaoshi. At that time, I wanted to see the shopkeeper. The manager told me that the shopkeeper was still in Xizhou or Dongzhou. I don't remember."

Yu Lianhai talked about Wuxin, but Yuan Liuzhen was very moved when he heard it. He knew that Uncle Man and Li Niang must have reopened Tao Xiaoshi after Yongzhou, and he still remembered that he and Fu were the shopkeepers.

Tao Fu also felt warm after hearing this.

This made them all feel that they wanted to meet Uncle Man and the others as soon as possible, but their current situation could not meet, and they couldn't know how Yuan Zhenjian and the others were doing now.

Recently, they asked Tai Lianhai whether they could deliver letters to other cities, but Yu Lianhai always gave a negative answer. It would take a long time to deliver the news, at least they had to make sure that they had no problems.Yuan Liuzhen thought about it for a while to see if he could ask Yu Lianhai to inquire about Yuan Zhenjian's current situation.

Yuan Liuzhen calmed down and said with a smile: "Well, if we can go to Yuecheng, let's go to Yuecheng to have a look at the snacks."

"No problem, but how do you sell the horseradish and crispy rice? I want to buy some to eat." Yu Lianhai smiled.

"Horseradish costs five cents a catty, and crispy rice costs eight cents a catty."

Yuan Liuzhen's price was the same as Liyao Village's price. After hearing this, Yu Lianhai exclaimed: "It's too cheap. The horseradish I bought in Yuecheng cost [-] Wen a catty, and the crispy rice was [-] Wen a catty."

"Can it be so expensive?" Yuan Liuzhen knew that Yuecheng was prosperous, but spicy noodles and crispy rice shouldn't be so expensive. It seemed that he still underestimated the wealth level of Yongzhou people.

"It's not expensive, it's not too expensive. Thirty cents a catty of horseradish is okay. There are quite a lot of people buying it. I queued for a long time. If Fu only made a wooden pot of horseradish and crispy rice, it's not as good as the whole Buy it for me, I bought it for Master Lian and the others to try it out."

"Yes, no problem." Tao Fu hurriedly weighed the spicy strips and crispy rice in the wooden basin for Yu Lianhai. There was no kraft paper, so he had to give Yu Lianhai the wooden basin together, and sold a total of three hundred coins.They make a small amount of hot strips and crispy rice, and they can sell three hundred yuan, which is not bad.

Yu Lianhai took the spicy sticks and crispy rice in a wooden basin, and said goodbye to Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen excitedly, saying that he would take these back to his place of residence first.

Looking at Yu Lianhai's back, Yuan Liuzhen couldn't help smiling. Sure enough, no matter where it was, most people liked it very much.

Because Yu Lianhai sold them spicy noodles and crispy rice, they delayed a lot of time. When they went to Wushui Village to buy and sell things, Wei Shiren and the others had almost bought and exchanged things, and there were only a few things left. .
