The county magistrate changed his career to selling private vegetables and sold them out

Chapter 8
"Seafood is sold here?" Looking at the baskets full of lively shrimps, hairtail fish, scallops and various conch shells, my eyes were full of surprise.

The man who sold the fish laughed and said, "We are in Linhai, Guyang County, what's so strange about this! Girl, do you want to buy some back? I went to the sea early in the morning to pick them up, and they are all fresh!"

"how much is it?"

"One penny and two catties."

Two catties for one penny, two catties of seafood is only the price of a piece of pastry, so cheap?

The man seemed to see Jiang Shan's doubts, and said with a wry smile: "These fish and shrimps are not easy to survive. They are either tasteless and tasteless, or the smell is too strong, so they are not easy to sell. I just earn some travel expenses and It’s hard work, but don’t expect to make money.”

Jiang Shan pondered for a moment and asked, "Uncle, how often do you go to the town to set up a stall? If I want to buy it in the future, can you still sell it to me? Do you have other categories?"

The man's dark face was filled with joy immediately, "As long as the girl wants it, I can bring it to you any time! You can find anything you want, as long as it's not that rare, I can find it for you!"

Jiangshan was overjoyed, put down his burden and said to the man: "Uncle, I want all these things from you, wait for me for a while, I will go buy some seasonings for marinated seafood, and I will trouble you to send them home for me later, I am a little picky move."

It's not that she can't pick it up, it's just that she can't smell the fishy smell at this time.

The man nodded frantically while wiping his sweat.

Less than half an hour later, Jiang Shan ran over with big bags and small bags, his little face was flushed, but he was very happy.

"Uncle, let's go!"

An hour later, Jiang Shan returned to the village with the middle-aged fish seller.

Not surprisingly, Jiangshan once again became the target of siege.

"Chou Chou, come here and take a look, this time I brought another man, who is almost as old as her father!"

"Oh, this time I brought rotten prawns and prawns. I rushed to bring home the rotten goods that no one wanted!"

"Shameless little whore, Huaigu Village has lost all face!"

"I said a long time ago that the old Jiao family is not a thing, and this young one is also a vixen. I really hit it off!"

"I don't know what kind of monster this little hoof is doing to attract my silly boy to climb the wall every day!"

"...!"

The fish seller heard more and more something was wrong, and finally he couldn't help himself, but the little girl seemed to be fine.

"Girl, they... they all live in the same village, they don't see each other when they look up, why...!"

"Uncle, don't worry about them, just let them go. Here, my house is right ahead, here we are."

Jiao's mother and Jiao Sanlang had already come out to welcome her. Jiao's mother was about to step forward to help Jiang Shan unload the burden from her shoulders, when she saw a strange man around, she retreated.

"Mother, I bought this uncle's fish and shrimp, and he kindly brought it back for me. Uncle, please weigh it, and I will count the money to you. Sanlang, go and pour a bowl of water for uncle to drink."

More than 50 catties of fish, erase the odds, fifty catties, 25 Wen.

Jiang Shan took an extra five cents and handed it to the man, and said with a smile, "Uncle, it's a hard work for you to go this way! I will trouble you to prepare more fresh goods for me in the future, please!"

The man happily took the money, carefully put it into his purse, bowed his hands to the family, turned and left.

Looking at the baskets full of fish, shrimp and shellfish, Jiao's mother was full of sadness.

This food doesn't taste good, and if it hasn't been released, so much money is wasted!
She couldn't blame Jiang Shan, and she had nothing to do, she just felt that her heart and mouth were full of bitterness.

Jiao Sanlang had already pinched his nose and retreated a long way away, staring blankly at Jiangshan with his big black eyes.

Jiang Shan looked at this, then looked at that, touched his nose, and said with a smile: "Mother, Saburo, don't worry, I will earn back the money, and these ingredients will not be wasted, trust me."

No matter how unreliable these words sounded, not to mention Mother Jiao, even Saburo looked away.

Jiang Shan knew in his heart that even if the ancient people lived by the sea, the ignorant country people really couldn't cook much delicious seafood, which can be said to be reckless.

It doesn't matter, with her modern soul, she can use seafood to make a full banquet!
It took Jiang Shan a whole day to wash and marinate the shrimp and shellfish overnight, and put them in the well in the backyard. He also cleaned the octopus and briefly marinated them, and went to the yard to pick some wild onions.

After doing this, she was too tired to stand up straight.

She vomited desperately with Mother Jiao and Saburo on her back more than once, turned her head to wipe away her tears, stuffed a handful of sansho peppers into her nose, and continued to work.

How can you not be tired!After all, this body is still small, and with the reaction of pregnancy, she yearns for the love and care of her relatives more than anyone else, and needs rest more than anyone else.

She also understands that no matter how hard and tiring she is, she must support this family!
Jiao's mother rubbed her lower back distressedly, and couldn't help complaining: "Shan'er, you are still pregnant with a child, so don't work too hard! I'm afraid these seafood are not very easy to sell, so don't be too anxious , no matter what you do, you can't lose the child in your belly."

Jiang Shan smiled wryly and remained silent, feeling lost in his heart.

In Mother Jiao's eyes, she was always thinking about this child.

But she doesn't want this child!

One month at most, within one month she must get rid of the child, otherwise it will hurt her health even more if the child gets older.

Jiao Sanlang watched from the side, and said softly: "Mother, please let my sister rest for a while, she is too tired!"

Jiang Shan woke up after a nap, it was already daylight.

She pulled up the marinated seafood from the well and, thank God, it didn't go bad.

The temperature in the well is lower than the temperature outside, which keeps the freshness of the seafood to the greatest extent, which is half the battle.

With her special seasoning, she doesn't have to worry about her seafood being sold.

When Mother Jiao and Jiao Sanlang were coaxed by Jiang Shan to eat a raw marinated prawn thicker than a finger, their eyes lit up.

"Sister, this shrimp is delicious!" Jiao Sanlang took the initiative to reach out his hand to a flower snail.

After eating, the smile became brighter.

"Mom, this one is delicious too! And this one!" Before speaking, Jiao Sanlang had already finished eating three conch shells.

When his claws reached out to the prawn again, Jiang Shan stopped him.

"Your stomach has not been recuperated, so you can't eat too much raw marinated seafood! I will steam prawns with egg custard for you at night, and you can eat a few more."

Jiang Shan took Jiao Sanlang and went to the town with a burden.

These days, she teaches Saburo to count and some simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division every day, and it is no problem to help her collect money properly.

The siblings went straight to the restaurant in the town, but were turned away by the shopkeeper.

No matter how hard Jiang Shan tried to explain her fish sauce seafood, the shopkeeper dismissed them and ordered the staff to drive them out quickly.

This is a rush for business, and it's strange to give her a good face!
