Chapter 1188: Dominatrix (Part I)
With a little imagination, Yang Huairen can understand why these fishermen are so unparticular about storing these dry goods.
These women in the fishing village dug up the seaweed and came back to dry, and at the same time, there would be a lot of fish caught by the men, because of the small size, or the species was not liked by the people in the city, and if they could not be sold, they would be dried like the seaweed, and it would be troublesome to put it away, so they would be collected together.
Yang Huairen took a look, dried shrimp, dried scallops and dried abalone are indeed one size smaller than those sold in hotels in the city, which is not valuable, but it is definitely worth more than seaweed.
Sister Hua led the women to carefully pick out the sundries in the dried seaweed and the weeds that were sticky to the dry, and then weighed them.
Every time the scale was pressed, the side of the stone was obviously one piece higher than the side of the laver, and Sister Hua nodded and motioned for her companion to rebag the weighed dried laver.
Maybe they are illiterate, and when the laver sent by each family is settled, they also use the oldest way of knotting ropes, although Yang Huairen didn't figure out what the different knots represented, but he knew that Sister Hua calculated the accounts clearly.
Not only that, sometimes the remaining dried seaweed is not enough for a scale, so Sister Hua took the remaining dried seaweed as a partner, and did not care about the money at all.
The villagers also lined up in an orderly manner, stretching their necks to look at Sister Hua and the women passing the scales, although they were a little anxious, but no one shouted, with a smile on their faces.
The children were a little scared, but then they felt that Yang Huairen's smile didn't seem to be anything to be afraid of, so they all gathered around and looked at Yang Huairen like a zoo.
Yang Huairen is Han Chinese, and there is nothing to look at, the children soon became interested in the blue-eyed beauties around Yang Huairen, and the bold children opened their mouths to ask their friends, "You said that the yaksha in the sea, is it blue-eyed?" ”
Sister Ghost knew Chinese, but she couldn't understand the children's dialect very well, so she looked at Yang Huairen with a puzzled expression.
Yang Huairen couldn't help but laugh and helped her translate, "The children said that you look like a yaksha in the sea. ”
"What is a Nakshatra?" Sister Ghost is even more confused.
Yang Huairen burst out laughing, "Yaksha, male and female, female and female Yaksha, is what the Great Song Dynasty men are most afraid of." ”
Yang Huairen made a scared expression as he spoke, and the younger brother of Tianba nodded vigorously on the side, "Dominatrix, whoever meets who knows." ”
Sister Ghost didn't sound like a good word, and slapped Yang Huairen a few times with her elbow, but she didn't blame the children, the fairy tongue was unscrupulous, not to mention that Sister Ghost really likes children.
Not only that, but she also called her little girl to come and share some refreshments with the children on the way out.
The dominatrix did not have the consciousness of being a female demon at all, and the children saw that the blue-eyed little lady was very kind, and they also let go of their curiosity, and went to pick up the snacks to eat with a smile.
Sister Hua, a senior elder, was busy educating the younger generations, "Dog baby, what should I say when I take something from someone else to eat?" ”
The dog baby is a leading big child, and he obeys Sister Hua, and quickly gathers the other children back, and at the same time bows to Sister Ghost, and says "thank you" in unison.
After working for a while, she finally finished weighing the dried seaweed sent by everyone, and Sister Hua put the dry goods that she had picked out before into a sack, and generously gave them to Yang Huairen as a gift.
"Shopkeeper Yang, the dried seaweed is a total of eight hundred and thirty-six catties, not counting fractions, according to the price you offered, it is worth 1,200 yuan. And these kelps and dry goods, don't dislike them, take them as our gifts to you. ”
Yang Huairen was a little stunned, and those who did this kind of trading were too inappropriate to take losses seriously.
The kelp that Sister Hua said is kelp, that is, kelp, but Yang Huairen found that the current kelp is very different from the kelp cultivated on a large scale in later generations, although it has been dried, but the kelp leaves are relatively wide, but the thickness of the leaves is relatively thinner.
Wild kelp grows on the seabed offshore, and is often more difficult to collect than scallops and abalone, and it is not valuable, so fishermen do not bother to collect kelp.
Most of the kelp they get is not very large because it was caught in the sea by fishing nets or picked up after the wind and waves.
Because of the high salt content of kelp, fishermen dry the kelp and scrape off the salt frost from the surface of the kelp to use it as salt, and the remaining kelp is also used as a medicinal herb, and some people come to collect it and sell it at will.
The kelp also couldn't be sold for money from them, so Sister Hua gave it out as soon as she opened her mouth, and she didn't feel any distress at all.
As for those dry goods, because they were small and not valuable in her eyes, they were simply given to Yang Huairen, a big merchant who bought the seaweed that had been backlogged in the villagers' homes for a long time at a "high price".
This made Yang Huairen very embarrassed, and before he could shirk it, Sister Hua said again, "The silver that Shopkeeper Yang gave just now must have been too much." ”
As she spoke, she picked out the broken silver, picked out the largest one, and the rest she felt that it was almost one or two halves, and then she smiled and returned the silver to Yang Huairen.
Yang Huairen hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, even if I spend money on the rest, I will buy the kelp and dry goods of the villagers." ”
He was a little moved by Sister Hua's simplicity and truthfulness, and refused to accept the silver no matter what, Sister Hua had to give it to him, so he didn't take it directly behind his back.
Sister Hua was very stubborn, and when she saw Yang Huairen with her hands behind her back, she went to pull his clothes and made a gesture to stuff the broken silver into Yang Huairen's arms.
At this time, a big man suddenly shouted, "What are you doing?!" ”
Yang Huairen and his group looked back together, and found that there was another group of people at the entrance of the village, dressed plainly, almost shirtless, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, but they were all wooden sticks, bamboo poles and the like.
Yang Huairen saw them dressed, and guessed that this should be the men in the village who came back from fishing, a few strong men in front of them stood in front of them, and a few younger ones in the back hid behind, and pushed a row of cars.
It is estimated that when they came back and saw that there were suddenly more than a dozen strangers in the village, and these people were all tall and powerful, a little scary, so they thought that the comers were not good, so they opened their mouths and scolded loudly.
Yang Huairen stepped forward to explain, but Sister Hua walked over with a smile, and pulled the strongest man who took the lead to introduce Yang Huairen to Yang Huairen, "Yang is not strange, this is my family, people are rude, and they can't speak, it's rude." ”
Yang Huairen arched his hand to the man, "It turned out to be the eldest brother-in-law, don't blame, don't blame." ”
Sister Hua pulled the man to explain, and slapped the man on the arm a few times from time to time, as if he was blamed for being rude in front of others.
