Chapter 152 People are stupid and have more money
When Aunt Baner heard that her old man was going to go to sea again, she immediately raised her voice and said, "This boat hasn't even gone out with fish, why are you still going? Don't go, you go home and push the cart, take these Fish are pushed to the city, and the city can sell them better than the wharf.”

Uncle Ban pulled Aunt Ban'er aside, and chatted with Aunt Ban'er in a murmur, and then Yu Xiaolian saw Aunt Baner, and looked at Yu Xiaolian from top to bottom with eyes like looking at a fool.

As the first person to eat crabs in their eyes, Yu Xiaolian didn't care about being looked at with strange eyes.

Yu Xiaolian didn't care, but Zhao Erya felt uncomfortable being stared at by Aunt Ban.

When she saw the crab just now, she was really taken aback. It was so ugly and scary. How could there be such an ugly thing in the sea?

Uncle Ban and Aunt Ban emptied the cabin together, found seven crabs from the miscellaneous fish, put them in a wooden bucket, and covered it with a wooden board.

Uncle Ban went out to sea again, which attracted the attention of several fishing boats around, and they all came to ask Aunt Ban, why did you go out to sea again, and all your fish have gone out?Is it for that restaurant?

Aunt Ban pointed at Yu Xiaolian and told Yu Xiaolian about buying a boatload of crabs.

This said, it can fry the pot.

Yu Xiaolian was surrounded by fishermen and looked at her.

Look at the clear eyes, don't you look like a fool?

Was that money burned?

Yu Xiaolian didn't know that she had already been labeled as a fool with a lot of money by the fishermen.

Some people talked about it, but some people saw business opportunities.

"Do you want any more crabs, little girl? Eight cents a catty, I'll go and fetch you a boat back!"

"Qi Wen, my family can fight with Qi Wen!"

"My family has six essays, six essays is fine!"

One of them opened his mouth, and several other fishermen followed suit, asking Yu Xiaolian to buy their own crabs.

A boatload of crabs costs two hundred catties, and ten Wen a catty is two taels of silver.

Not to mention ten Wen, even two Wen, they are willing to go, after all, there are more seas in their sea, more than fish.

Just two nets can fill a cabin.

Yu Xiaolian took off the board from the wooden barrel, pointed to the biggest swimming crab and said, "You all go and hunt, but I don't want the ones that are this size, I don't want the ones that are too small."

"What is the price of the money...?"

In order to promote harmony, Yu Xiaolian said generously, "Since I gave ten coins to Uncle Ban's family, the price is the same, but you have to tie up the crabs one by one with straw ropes."

"No problem. The fish we sell are also tied one by one with straw ropes. It's a trivial matter. It's just a child. Are you sure you want all these crabs?"

Yu Xiaolian checked, and there were four fishermen, and Uncle Suanban's five. "That's all you have. I don't want anyone else's. Can you come back before noon? If you come back too late, I won't wait." .”

Several fishermen expressed that they could come back, and they would be back before noon, so Yu Xiaolian must wait for them.

While setting off, the fishermen regretted in their hearts that their fishing boats were too small to carry too much, otherwise they could earn more.

After all, it will be difficult to meet such a rich and stupid little girl in the future.

Aunt Ban brought small wooden benches for Yu Xiaolian and Zhao Erya, and asked them to sit and wait in the shade.

Yu Xiaolian was very excited when she thought that she would be able to realize the freedom of swimming crabs in the future.

Seeing the fishermen's wives staring at them from time to time, Zhao Erya said nervously, "They are staring at us. Even if we want to leave now, we can't."

"I don't want to leave either, I have to wait to collect crabs!"

I don't know if there are other seafood in this sea. She likes sea urchins, scallops, conch, and oysters.

Zhao Erya asked in a low voice, "You bought several boats, how do we get them back?"

Yu Xiaolian slightly covered her mouth with her hands, and replied in a low voice, "Didn't we pass by a row of empty warehouses when we came here, and let them send them to the warehouse in a while, and I will put them away when they leave."

Zhao Erya knew that Yu Xiaolian could not only change things out, but also put them away. Hearing what Yu Xiaolian said, she reminded, "I'll keep an eye out for you later, and you can put them away again. Don't let others see them."

"Erya, you are so kind." Yu Xiaolian took Zhao Erya's arm and rested her head on Erya's shoulder.

She and Erya are sisters who slept on the kang, and they have long been better as if they were alone.

Zhao Erya told Yu Xiaolian before that she would stay in the Yu family and serve Sun and Yu Changhe for the rest of her life if she would never marry.

Yu Xiaolian knew that it was because she lost her innocence that she had the idea of ​​not marrying for the rest of her life, but she couldn't persuade Erya.

Because Er Ya always thought they didn't know about it.

When she wiped Erya's body, she was really shocked.

At that time, she and her mother had said that Erya's life was hard, so she should treat her better in the future.

After waiting for about two hours, the fishing boats that went out to catch crabs came back one after another, and Uncle Ban’s boat had the most loads.

Someone clicked twice, "Uncle Ban, your boat has such a deep draft, how did you row back?"

Everyone took a look at the draft of Uncle Ban's boat, and said, "Uncle Ban really wants money but not life."

Fortunately, Uncle Ban has been fishing for many years and has plenty of experience. If it were someone else, the boat might not be able to get back.

The other four families are not indifferent. Although Uncle Ban is full, his boat is old, broken and small. It looks like a lot, but it is actually similar to them.

Uncle Ban tied the towing rope on the boat to the fixed pile on the shore, pointed to the cabin and said to Yu Xiaolian, "I brought you back the crabs. It would be troublesome to weigh one or two crabs. I estimate the weight of this boat." There are about two hundred catties, some of them are small, and I don’t want money for the small ones, so I’ll give them to you for nothing, and the rest are one hundred and fifty catties, what do you think?”

Yu Xiaolian took a closer look, and what Uncle Ban said was the blue crab. Although it was not as big as the swimming crab, the head was considered big among the blue crabs. After all, the blue crab was not as big as the swimming crab.

The blue crab is also delicious, and it was given to her for free, Yu Xiaolian nodded, "Okay."

Then I asked the other families, "Is it the same for yours?"

Seeing that Uncle Ban took the lead, the other four families agreed happily, one hundred and fifty catties, that is one tael and a half of silver.

Alas, this boatload of crabs earned more than they earned from fishing for two months.

When Yu Xiaolian gave them the money to buy crabs, the fisherman's wife had already started to tie the crabs with straw ropes.

After the cabin was emptied, several fishermen picked up a few buckets of small fish and shrimp at the bottom of the cabin and asked Yu Xiaolian if he wanted it.

Seeing Yu Xiaolian's hesitation, they hurriedly said, "No money, it's free."

I already got one or two half of the money just now, this little fish and shrimp, I should send my children to try something new.

Yu Xiaolian definitely wants it, the shrimp sauce and fish sauce are both delicious.

Thank you, several fishermen poured small fish and shrimps into a net bag, and then put them on the bamboo basket containing crabs.

After waiting for more than two hours, the crabs were finally tied up one by one. The fishermen carried the crabs in bamboo baskets to the empty warehouse designated by Yu Xiaolian and left.

Zhao Erya guarded her, and Yu Xiaolian stowed nearly a thousand catties of crabs into the space.

"walk home!"

After Yu Xiaolian collected the crabs, feeling a little guilty, she dragged Zhao Erya and ran towards the inn.
