Tang Zangyue drove the carriage to a secluded place, skewered the seafood in the bucket one by one with a sword, then put it into the space, and finally the bucket.
When she returned to the inn, it was already crowded. She took out the homemade hypnotic incense, lit it, and began to write down what she needed.
I almost dozed off, so I put away my pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
At dawn the next day, I got up early.
Went downstairs dressed neatly and ordered fresh local seafood.
Steamed crabs, fried shrimps in oil, because she doesn't like to eat them raw, oysters, scallops, etc. are all steamed with minced garlic.
After eating, she got up and went to a nearby clothing store.
There are not many items in the clothing stores, and they are used by dealers to change and wash things. However, some dealers will bring their own changes and wash, and they are not as good as the shops along the coast, so business is naturally a bit bleak.
Tang Zangyue bought a few pieces of brocade clothing, and when they were put on, she could finally distinguish herself from ordinary people. She also went to buy a few taels of hairpins, and after a lot of grooming, and her demeanor, she looked like a wealthy family.
In order to avoid trouble when walking, she bought all men's clothes. Not to mention that the customs clearance documents were from Shopkeeper Chu.
In Jiuli Village, she and shopkeeper Chu announced that they were ill and closed the door to see guests. In fact, shopkeeper Chu stayed at home to cover for her, and went to the county government to ask for a customs clearance document to be lent to her.
Although there are officers and soldiers stationed in the coastal area, the management is not strict, and even the customs clearance documents are not reviewed. After all, few people come, and those who come are still the kind of traders who want to make a living.
Then, Tang Zangyue drove the carriage to go for a walk on the beach, and found that there were rows of coconut trees!
Her old swan.
coconut!
Coconut meat, coconut water! In addition to seafood, there is also this stuff!
Seeing an old man selling it, she pulled the reins and quickly asked the price, "Old man, how do you sell the coconuts at your stall?"
"What coconut?"
Tang Zangyue pointed to the things on the old man's stall, and the latter suddenly said, "This is the head of the Yue King, two cents each."
After all, it is something that can be seen everywhere, and the local price is the same as Chinese cabbage at the border.
"Is it fresh?"
Seeing that there was business to be done, the old man quickly dug a hole, poured it into a bowl, and handed it over, "Have a taste. It's just picked, it's fresh."
Tang Zangyue took a sip from the edge of the bowl, not to mention, it was good.
In her previous life, she lived in the south all year round. Even if there were coconuts for sale, it would take several days for the supplier to transport them before they arrived, so the freshness had long since passed. Naturally, she had traveled and been to coastal cities. The coconuts sold there were fresh, but the coconut meat was not available in other places.
I will sell it back to the processing factory...
Fresh coconuts, coconut water is sweet and delicious, and the pulp is also full of coconut flavor.
Tang Zangyue smiled and said, "I want them all."
The old man staggered and his voice trembled, "You...you?"
"I want them all."
Tang Zangyue: "Please help me load the carriage."
"Ah? Ah! Okay, okay."
There were twenty Yue Wang heads in his stall. If he wanted them all, he would have forty cash in his account. What can he do with forty cash? He can buy eight kilograms of whole grains! Save some food, one person can eat for half a month.
Hey!
The old man looked particularly enthusiastic. He was afraid that the business would be lost, so he stacked the coconuts neatly in the carriage.
Finally, he wiped his hands hard on the hem of his clothes and said awkwardly: "Do you think this is okay?"
Tang Zangyue glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze and said, "Will I still be here tomorrow? If so, I still want them all."
"Or do you want them all?" The old man's voice became even more trembling, as if it was the first time in his life that he had done such a big deal.
Tang Zangyue: "Yes, I want them all, as many as I want."
"Okay, okay."
Tang Zangyue drove the carriage and continued to move forward. She found that the old man was not the only one selling coconuts, but everyone was far apart, as if they didn't want to affect each other's business?
Doesn't this give her convenience?
She said the same thing to every stall owner, and before going to the next stall, the coconuts on the carriage would be stored in the space.
She didn't stop her wanton acquisitions until she reached the beach.
With the sea breeze blowing on her face, Tang Zangyue took a deep breath, took off her shoes and socks, and walked slowly on the beach holding the reins.
Although the conditions were a bit poor in ancient times, the environment was very good wherever you went. If you kept up with the food, it was true that everywhere was a good place to keep healthy.
Seeing some women and children picking up clams and oysters at the beach, with smiles on their faces, Tang Zangyue also smiled.
It's so good, such a life.
After making some money at the beach and picking up some beautiful colorful shells, she returned to the inn and asked the second brother for some needlework.
The waiter in the shop gave her the needle and thread she used. Seeing a lot of colorful shells on her table, she asked curiously: "Sir, what is this?"
Tang Zangyue didn't even raise her head. She was doing this during the break before eating.
"There are many children at home. It's not appropriate to go out and go back without bringing some gifts. The things you buy are always not what you want, so it's better to make them by yourself."
"My guest is interested."
After the waiter finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to help the cook look after the stove. When he came out, he had already twisted the shells into bracelets, and there were quite a lot of them.
In less time than half a stick of incense, I made a gift... Well, it's not that high-spirited. The waiter complained in his heart.
Catching Tang Zangyue's gaze, the waiter quickly put on a warm smile and said, "It's almost done. Sir, please wait a moment. I'll help you clean up the mess."
Tang Zangyue grinned, "Excuse me, little brother."
"No trouble, no trouble."
After eating and digesting for a while, Tang Zangyue set off at the appointed time.
First, it’s Lao Yu’s place.
There is no dry food tonight, but there are more than twice as many fresh goods as last night.
What a great harvest.
Lao Yu also carried a few buckets of clams and oysters, which were picked up by women and children in the village when they were going to sea, and asked her if they needed them.
Yes! Of course!
Not only that, Tang Zangyue also handed over a list of wishes.
After checking the account, Tang Zangyue took the address handed over by the other party and heard Lao Yu say: "I've asked for you. It's a few villages away. The news came back late, so I didn't go to the inn to find you."
Tang Zangyue nodded, glanced at several addresses on the rice paper by candlelight, and said, "If I go back now, the result will be the same."
Lao Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "A few villages feel that... this kind of temporary business can't last long, so they came to me to ask you whether they can do long-term business."
Tang Zangyue's eyebrows were light: "Let's see again."
After saying that, she got into the carriage and drove away.
After stopping on a deserted road, he lifted the car curtain and entered the carriage. He held a sword in his hand and skewered the seafood one by one. The moment the skewers were done, the seafood lost its life and soon entered the space.
Overall, apart from having to do the suicide myself, it's quite convenient.
Using Lao Yu's empty bucket, we arrived at the next village and collected fresh goods.
There are nearly ten villages in total. Because the distance is uncertain, and it takes a lot of time to inspect and calculate goods, when we return to the inn, there is a trace of gold on the coastline.
