Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 59 Selling the Boat
Mei Qian's heart finally dropped when she stepped on the compacted earth under the dock.

"There are actually so many people here at night?"

Mei Qian supported Mrs. Mei, turned around and shook hands with the family members who were standing under the lamp on the edge of the pier.

After getting off the boat, Mrs. Mei asked Mei Shitou and Mei Qian to accompany her to another place and let the rest of the family wait for her in a conspicuous place.

Mei Qian looked at the endless flow of people coming and going on the pier, feeling surprised and curious at the same time.

"This Huaichu Wharf is the largest wharf nearby. There are many ships moored there on weekdays, and it is very lively.

Let alone now.

Besides, there's no fighting here. Isn't the excitement normal? "

Ansheng's birthday has not passed for a long time, and he has almost forgotten this feeling.

Mrs. Mei and Mei Qian were talking and walked towards the dock where they came down again.

Mei Qian and Mei Shitou didn't understand what Mrs. Mei was doing. They just saw Mrs. Mei walking to the pier and saying a few words to a middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge. The middle-aged man looked at Mei again. The old lady suddenly became kind-hearted.

Mrs. Mei then turned around and waved to Mei Qian and Mei Shitou not far away.

"This is my grandson and granddaughter, Shitou, Qian Qian called 'Uncle Yu'."

"Uncle Yu."

Mei Qian and Mei Shitou didn't expect that there was an acquaintance of Mrs. Mei here.

"Aunt, you are being polite. When dad was here, he often mentioned you and Uncle Mei."

The full name of this man who Mei Qian and others call Uncle Yu is Yu Hai.

When he mentioned his deceased father, Yu Hai's expression became sad.

Mrs. Mei also sounded sad and said, "You are doing better now than your father was back then. Your father can rest assured down here."

Looking at what Yu Hai was wearing and the attitude of the people around him on the pier just now, Mrs. Mei could tell.

This man, who was similar to her eldest son, was definitely someone to speak of on this pier.

"Auntie, all you have left now is..."

Yu Hai didn't finish his words, he just looked around at Mei Qian, his grandfather and grandson.

The disgust and confusion in his eyes flashed across his eyes, but Mei Qian saw them clearly.

She had seen many of them when she was in the orphanage.

Those who say that boys and girls can be adopted are like this when they actually adopt girls.

Maybe, in the eyes of the other party, her breasts came here tonight to catch the autumn wind, right?

Mrs. Mei just pretended not to see it, laughed, and said: "How can I? How can I, an old woman, hold them apart? It's just that the whole family just got off the boat and was repairing elsewhere. I remembered that Lao Yu came to ask Ask, I want to inquire about the news by the way. I have to go back later~
Bringing the two children out to see the world will probably make their parents very worried! "

"That's it~"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hai also laughed. He said that he had seen so many faces at the pier in the past few days, and the mental outlook of Mrs. Mei's family was indeed different from those of ordinary refugees.

"Xiaohai, your father is gone, will you still do your father's business?"

Seeing that the other party relaxed, Mrs. Mei took Yu Hai to the side and asked in a low voice. Mei Qian and Mei Shitou consciously helped her look out for the wind, and glanced at the people around them to prevent others from getting close. .

"Auntie, this is..."

"To tell you the truth, I see that things are not peaceful in the north. This time, I guess I won't be able to go back until I close my eyes. I want to settle down in the south, so I'll pawn some of my belongings if I can."

"What do you want to sell, aunt?"

When Yu Hai heard that it was just business, his whole state became more and more relaxed. He touched the beard around his mouth and asked. "A ship, a ship that can carry cargo and people without any problem. If Xiaohai is interested, you can come with us to have a look."

He originally thought that the boat Mrs. Mei was talking about was a small fishing boat, so he came to take a look because of his feelings for the older generation. However, he did not expect that what he saw was actually a large boat.

Yu Haihai took another look at the boat. It was made of artificial wood. Although this kind of boat is not as big as a big ship that really runs cargo, or it may be very delicate in comparison, this boat has an absolute level of resistance to wind and waves and anti-collision. First class.

When Yu Hai looked at the boat, he suddenly remembered that the Mei family and his wife had mentioned their boat before when his father was still alive.

"On the flat ground to the north, their precious ship is ruined. If this ship is placed here..."

The boat that his father had always missed was now visible to him.

Although he has seen various types of ships at the dock over the years, this ship today is indeed a rare masterpiece compared to ships of the same size.

"Auntie, does this boat really belong to you?"

"Of course, this is unique to our family!"

When Mei Qian saw her admitting without any guilt that this boat was her home, the corners of her eyes twitched uncontrollably.

"Your father also saw it back then, right? Our last boat was also very good. I originally wanted to sell it to your father, but I didn't want to part with it."

What Mrs. Mei said seemed true. Yu Hai looked at the boat and really wanted it, but if he bought it, the price might not be what he could afford.

Seeing Yu Hai's tangled look, Mrs. Mei added fuel to the fire and said: "Eldest nephew, for your father's sake, your father planned to spend two hundred taels back then, but we didn't agree at the time. Now... "

"Auntie, that's too expensive. Although your ship is very good, it's small. After all, you're going to suffer a loss in hauling goods. How long will it take for me to get my money back?"

Yu Hai and Mrs. Mei were bargaining there, while Mei Qian and Mei Shitou almost lost their composure when they first heard the two hundred taels.

"Why is this boat so expensive?"

To prevent her words from affecting her breast performance, Mei Qian pulled Mei Shitou and stood a little further away before she dared to speak in a low voice.

"I don't know. Is this boat so expensive? It's enough for my second uncle and I to go up the mountain and hunt hundreds of wild boars."

The wild boar was still fierce. Under normal circumstances, Mei Shitou and Mei Erhu would not dare to come forward and confront him head-on.

Li Mei Shitou and his second uncle only shot two or three wild boars a year, which was quite impressive.

Calculated again, he and his second uncle would have to hunt wild boars for decades to earn the price of this boat.

"No wonder those water bandits were either on bamboo rafts or canoes and small fishing boats." Mei Qian remembered that night, so many water bandits rowed bamboo rafts in twos and threes to rob.

Is it because they don't like using big ships?

It's really not.

The craftsmanship and cost of large ships are things that ordinary people dare not even think about.

Mei Qian and Mei Shitou stood not far away, watching Mrs. Mei and Yu Hai chatting non-stop from time to time, with the expressions on each other's and Mrs. Mei's faces alternating.

One moment her mother was unhappy, and the next moment the person across from her was unhappy, which made Mei Qian sweat, fearing that they wouldn't be able to reach an agreement.

Mei Shitou wanted to come forward several times to listen, but Mei Qian stopped him again.

"Do you understand what Nai said?"

Mei Qian asked, Mei Shitou shook his head.

"Then you and I don't understand anything. If it affects the performance of your breasts, who's to blame?"

As soon as she finished asking, Mei Shitou immediately took back his foot...

　Mei Shitou: I'll go take a look.

　　Mrs. Mei: Get out of here!
