Not only this well, but also all the wells in the Wuling Mountain Tianzun Temple, the water in them is sweet.

However, because the Tianzun Temple is not open to the public, people who come here to visit cannot enter at all. They can only look at it from a distance or play in the valley before leaving, so they don't know.

I just thought that only Mitsui Village had a sweet water well, so the water from this well was so popular.

To be honest, the streams in the valley and the water in the pools are actually quite sweet.

It's just that these people are preconceived when they play, and they don't dare to try it.

Another thing is that there are fish, shrimps and aquatic plants in the creeks and pools. Many people usually don't drink it unless they are thirsty.

Jiayin and the others followed the village head all the way back to his home.

The village head of Mitsui Village is surnamed Yu Fugui, and he is the head of the Yu family, the largest family in Mitsui Village.

Although the Mitsui Village is very old, there is not only one surname and members of one clan in the village.

But the surnames are very messy, there are all kinds of surnames, and they all migrated over many years ago. At the beginning, there were people with different surnames, and then some people came slowly, and those with the same surname got together and even joined the clan. .

This is the case with the Yu family, because Lian Liaozong has become the largest family in the village and has a greater voice. Yu Fugui, the patriarch, has also become the village head of Mijing Village.

Because of the sweet-tasting well water, Mitsui Village has become the largest village in the vicinity. In addition, you can hunt on one side and go fishing on the other side.

People with both crafts gather here.

The so-called hunting, of course, is not hunting in the valley with four seasons.

Even if the Taoist priests of Tianzun Temple didn't say anything, they all tacitly believed that the valley belonged to Tianzun Temple, so they didn't dare to enter rashly, for fear of colliding with Tianzun Temple.

Even if there is no national teacher there, it is not a national religion, but it still has lingering prestige.Especially these villages that have been under the mountain for hundreds of years are even more respected by them.

The reason why these people think that the well water prolongs life may be because they feel it in their hearts, because it is next to the Tianzun Temple.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?Is the well closest to the mountain's side sweet?

It can be said that they have touched the truth invisibly.

Village head Yu led a group of people into the yard of his house, and his wife and son came out to welcome them when they heard the sound.

Yu Fugui introduced them: "This is Zhuojing Yang, this is my eldest son Yu Gensheng, my second son Yu Genwang, and my third son Yu Genfa.

These are the brothers and sisters of the Fang family, old lady, go and boil some water and make tea for the guests. "

After speaking, he said to everyone: "Everyone sit down casually. Brother Zhiwen just said that he wants to sell some seafood. What do you want? Do you want fresh or dried?"

Because before this kind of thing, Fang Zhiwen usually came forward to deal with it, and every time this kind of thing happened after that, the group of them would listen to Fang Zhiwen by default.

Village head Yu also thought that Fang Zhiwen was the eldest brother of their group, so he naturally talked to him.

They had already discussed it before, so Fang Zhiwen said directly: "We need both fresh and dry goods. The dry goods are best to be rare and uncommon. We will give them as souvenirs when we go back. We have fresh ones for the past few days. Eat, as long as it is delicious."

Yu Fugui nodded, "Well, I'll let my sons arrange it. As long as there is something in the village, they can send it over, so that you don't have to run around."

Fang Zhiwen got up and thanked: "Then there is Uncle Lao Village, we still want to buy some special products here, I wonder if there are other places here besides seafood?"

Yu Fugui's eyes lit up and said, "We still have corals and pearls here, which are all caught in specific sea areas. Pearls are gold and pink, which are rarer than ordinary white and black."

Jiayin's eyes also brightened upon hearing the words, golden pearls!None of them Dragon Palace!I don't know what it looks like, is it shiny?
Fang Zhiwen felt his back a little hot, and when he turned his head, he saw Jiayin's shining eyes. Come on, sister Jiayin heard the golden pearl and turned her head.

Everyone in the Fang family knows that Jiayin likes shiny and golden things, they don't have to be valuable, they must be bright, as long as they see her, they will be very excited, and if they are given to her, she will be very happy, very easy to coax.

Of course, it's really rare that such shiny and golden things are worthless. If you don't understand, you will think that Jiayin is greedy for money. In fact, she just likes it. She will take it if you give it to her.

So he said to the village chief: "Uncle village chief, how do you sell the golden pearls? Can you let me see? We haven't seen golden pearls yet."

The rest of the Fang family brothers also knew that this was for Jiayin, and they had no objection. They had a lot of money, so they should be enough to buy it.

Yu Fugui didn't expect that they really wanted it, so he thought he was just asking. After all, they didn't look like people who would buy these luxury goods. Although they had a good temperament, they didn't look like they came from a big family. He still had some insight. .

He nodded and said, "Of course, I have two here, so I'll go get them."

Then he stood up and walked into the house.

At this time, the village head's wife came out with a teapot on a tray, put it on the stone table in the yard, and placed the upside-down teacups in front of them one by one, and wanted to help pour the tea, but Fang Zhiwen and the others stopped them.

"Aunt Yang has worked hard, we can do it ourselves." After speaking, he stood up and poured water by himself.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yang smiled, thinking that these young people are really gentle and polite, and they are all tall. This means that she has no daughters, otherwise she must leave one for her to be her son-in-law...

Yu Fugui came out of the house with a wooden box, put it on the table, and said, "To tell you the truth, I only have two of these golden pearls. They are from a seashell that my second son caught by accident." , others are mostly pink and black.”

After a pause, he continued: "I'm not going to raise the price on the ground, after all, there is no other place, and we don't know what price it can be worth, so we will keep it as a rare treasure. Take a look first. If you want it, you can pay 100 taels." One, just ignore it."

Jiayin and the others have no objection at all. Although 100 taels is quite expensive, it is acceptable.

Only Yang Huiyun, who just joined, was stunned. A bead costs 100 taels, which is too expensive!

Seeing this, Yu Fugui had a clue in his heart, and he was really willing to buy it, so he stopped talking nonsense, and directly opened the box and turned to several people.

He's not afraid of them robbing them, so to speak, it's his own territory, how can people run away?
Jiayin and the others looked into the box together, and saw a piece of white cloth in the box, on which were placed two pearls the size of corn kernels. It was said to be golden, but in fact the color was not dark, it was a kind of light gold. , It is very beautiful against the white cloth!
Although I was a little disappointed that they were not golden, the two beads were round enough and very bright, especially when they were illuminated by the sun, the pearly luster was even more attractive.

Jiayin immediately made a decision, "I want these two beads, and this is 200 taels."

As he spoke, he directly took out a 200 tael bank note and handed it to Yu Fugui.

This operation not only surprised Yu Fugui's family, but also everyone in Fang's family. Unexpectedly, Jiayin gave the money directly.

They still want to take another look, what if they can negotiate the price?
Fang Zhiwen and Fang Zhiyuan held their foreheads helplessly, forget it, as long as sister Jiayin likes it.

Fang Zhi just saw that the bead had been bought, so he picked it up and looked at it, but he didn't find out why it was worth 200 taels.

Then put it back into the box and hand it to Jiayin together with the box.

Jiayin took out the beads directly and pushed the box back, "I don't need this one, it takes up space."

He directly put the beads into the small purse tied around his waist, the purse is actually a storage bag, the inside area is not big, because the shape

The most beautiful, it was hung outside by Jiayin.

At this time, the three sons of the Yu family came back, accompanied by a few villagers, and introduced them to both parties.

Then he said: "Because a batch of seafood was confiscated a few days ago, the dry goods are left at home and are more expensive, but there are some fresh ones, which are all caught by the sea. If you don't want much, you can use it as a starting point , send it to you."

Fang Zhiwen looked at his brothers and good news, saw them nodding, and replied: "Yes, I don't know what is so-called expensive?"

Yu Genwang said: "They are all sea cucumbers, fish maws, shark's fins, etc. The ordinary dried fish, dried shrimp, and dried kelp are gone."

Fang Zhiwen nodded, "Then how many of these are there?"

Yu Genwang was taken aback, "How much can you ask for? If it's too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it away, right?"

At this time, it was Jiayin's turn to play. She sent back in the name of Bie Qingzhu. The others didn't know how much they could take away, but she represented Qingzhu.

"You can buy up to five hundred catties, any more will be difficult."

In fact, no matter how much they can take away, but it really can't be too outrageous, they can't just disappear out of thin air, at least they have to leave the village.

Everyone in Mitsui Village was shocked when they heard this, they wanted so much!

You should know that dry goods have no moisture, and they don't take up any weight at all. Five hundred catties is a big pile.

Yu Fugui looked at Fang Zhiwen, "Can you really eat five hundred catties?"

Fang Zhiwen nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we also have a shop at home. Besides giving away, we can also sell them in the shop."

The villagers who had just followed Yu Genwang got an affirmative answer, and rushed home to sort out their dry goods.

Taking advantage of this time, they chatted with Yu Fugui again, and inquired about the situation here.

Fang Zhiwen said: "Uncle Village Chief, we want to go to the Four Seasons Valley to have a look. I wonder if there are any taboos after entering? Can we go in directly? Do you want to tell Tianzun Temple?"

Village Chief Yu shook his head, "That's not necessary, although the Four Seasons Valley is the site of Tianzun Temple, Tianzun Temple will not prohibit others from entering and playing.

In previous years, many people came here especially, but in recent years there have been fewer people. It is said that the treasury is strained due to the drought in the north, and taxation has increased, so no one is in the mood to come out to play. "

Fang Zhiwen and others frowned at the same time, Fang Zhigang said: "Who said this? We are from the north. Our family is in Nanyue County, not far from the capital. There is no drought. It was several years ago At that time, the tax was not increased but also reduced.”

Village head Yu was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Is that true? Didn't you suffer any disaster?"

Jiayin and his party nodded affirmatively.

Of course, apart from Liu Yuer and Yang Huiyun, the two of them have never been to the north, so they don't know.

Fang Zhiwen went on to say: "The emperor's health is not good. Now the third prince is acting as the agent of the government. The third prince has been kind and righteous and has exempted many exorbitant taxes. In the past few years, the weather has been smooth and there has been no disaster at all. The disaster happened many years ago. "

Village Chief Yu frowned so much that he could kill a fly.

Immediately after, he slapped his hands and said, "It's broken! In this way, we will be deceived by others!"

Fang Zhiwen and his brothers looked at each other, not knowing what Village Chief Yu meant.

"Uncle village chief, what did you say?"

Yu Fugui took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Last month, a convoy came here, saying they were passing by here to Guanhai City, they said they came from the north, and they planned to collect some seafood to sell back.

Then we inquired about the situation in the north by the way, and they said that there have been droughts and floods over the past few years, and the grain harvest has not been harvested, so the price has risen.

At the same time, the price of other edible items has also increased, because this seafood is considered meaty, so it has also risen with the tide. These seafood used to earn four or five yuan per catty, but now they can earn forty or fifty yuan!

Our village started thinking a little bit later, took the silver at home, went to various villages to collect seafood, and prepared to form a convoy to go to a place in the north to sell..."

When Fang Zhiwen and the others heard this, except for those who said that the disaster in the north was a bit unbelievable, they didn't realize the purpose of the other party's deception.

Jiayin was a little puzzled and said: "It's a good thing to form a caravan to sell. Even if you earn four or five yuan, you shouldn't lose money and come back. Why is the village chief so troubled?"

Seeing the good news, Yu Fugui looked innocent, sighed, and explained: "I'm not worried about them setting up a caravan to do business, but I'm worried about why those people lied to us? They told us there was a disaster when there was no disaster there. , and said that the price has risen sharply, what good will it do them?
I always feel like I want to trick the young people of our village out. You know, most of our village relies on those young and strong young people to set up their families. If they all go out, the sky will collapse in the family if something happens. "

Hearing this, Jiayin and his party also felt that something was wrong.

If those people just want to cheat some money or something, it’s okay to say, but obviously not, they just created a rumor and left.

And I spent a few extra pennies to buy some seafood from here.

What are you telling such a lie?Obviously knowing that the other party will be able to find out as soon as they arrive in other prefectural cities. After all, as soon as they arrive in the city, there will be more merchants coming and going, and the information will flow faster, and they will soon find out that they are lying.

There is no need to tell such a lie.

Could it be that he really wanted to trick all the strong laborers in this village out?What are you trying to do?

Jiayin looked at the village chief and said, "Then what are the young people in your village doing now?"

The village chief was taken aback for a moment, and replied, "They all went to sea..."
