Chapter 465
"Oh, it turns out that the distinguished guest is here. We are in a simple and unpretentious manner. I hope you can forgive me." Hearing the eldest daughter's explanation, the young woman slowly spoke to Chunfeng, but the defensive posture did not relax at all.
Yes, the husband is not at home, and a woman's family takes two children in this remote place, so she needs to be careful.
"Sister-in-law, we are here to buy the sea beard grass (local name for kelp). I wonder if it is convenient for my sister-in-law. I just walked along the way and didn't see anyone from the village. Has this person all gone to sea?"
Chunfeng replied with a faint smile that generally fishing villages make a living by fishing, and the villagers are no longer thinking that they have gone to sea.
"Yes, it's been three or four days since I went out to sea, and it's probably time to come back." The woman smiled gently and said to coax the child.
Baili Mochen took the initiative to leave the door when he saw the child. Chunfeng turned his head to the point, and the woman sat on the side feeding the child while talking to Chunfeng.
"I have heard that someone is collecting these whiskers. When the villagers come back later, the girl will send someone to collect them. These days, the villagers are busy collecting this. There must be a lot of them. Not many of them are here, and they are all placed in the shack at the back."
Seeing that the little guy had almost finished eating, the woman put the child on the bed and let the eldest daughter watch it, got up and walked up to Chunfeng to speak.
Chunfeng can tell that the woman is worn and ordinary, but she is clean and neat. She thinks she should be a virtuous wife.
"Then please take us to see it. As long as the quality is slightly better, I will do it here." Chunfeng also stood up and said.
As he said that, the woman took the two servants to the shack at the back of the house, which was piled up with about a few hundred kilograms of kelp, all of which were done, and a full shack.
These are the results of their mother and daughter picking up for many days. When they first heard someone want to collect this thing, the woman took her children and started picking it up. At that time, other villagers didn't believe it, so they had already settled a lot.
Because this thing is brought with you when you go out to sea to fish, some people have tried to eat it, but the taste is really bad, so no one is paying attention to it. After fishing it, they will be thrown away on the beach or on the open space.
So it was easy to collect at the beginning, but now there are more people collecting it, so it is not so easy to find.
I guess I should go to sea to catch the ones on the ground after collecting them.
The spring breeze makes people weigh the woman first to see how many there are.
This name is as much as 500 kilograms. Chunfeng collects this one for one cent per kilogram, and more than 500 kilograms is more than 500 cents. This is a considerable amount for a poor small fishing village family.
The little girl watched Chunfeng count the money for the woman and a few scattered copper plates, and her eyes were filled with excitement. Her small hands were clenched into fists with excitement.
"Sister-in-law, you are five hundred and ten kilograms, and you can count them." Chunfeng handed the money in his hand to the woman and nodded.
"Okay, thank you girl. Look at her, she is a real person. I believe in her character." The woman took the copper coins, took a simple look, and then said tactfully.
Chunfeng smiled faintly at the woman, turned around and walked to the little girl.
"Little girl, come and take it! Take these for you to buy new shoes and thicker clothes." Chunfeng handed a hanging of copper coins to the little girl and said with a smile.
The little girl looked at the copper coins in Chunfeng's hand and bit her lip hesitantly, as if she wanted it very much.
Seeing this, the woman was about to step forward to stop her. After walking two steps, she heard the little girl say: "Big sister, thank you. My father said that you can't ask for other people's things casually, so I can't ask for your money."
The little girl shined with her big pure eyes and said with a bright look at Chunfeng. Her unwavering eyes made Chunfeng feel warm.
"I really don't want it?" Chunfeng asked with a frown.
"Yeah..." the little girl shook her head.
"Then this way, I'll lent this money to you. Will you pay it back to me when you have money in the future?" Chunfeng thought about it and said.
"This..." the little girl hesitated again.
"How can I be confident to give it back to me?" Chunfeng looked at the child curiously. The girl looked very principled, but she didn't know how she would choose.
"Okay, when I have money, I will definitely give it back to you, big sister!" The little girl nodded with a firm look.
It seems that the temptation of new clothes and shoes is quite great, but looking at the girl's firm eyes, Chunfeng is a little convinced that she can do it.
"Okay, then this money is yours!" Chunfeng happily handed the copper plate to the little girl.
After saying that, Chunfeng got up and prepared to go to the next company to start the acquisition.
Just as I was about to reach the corner, I heard the little girl's cry again: "Big sister! Wait a minute!"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Chunfeng turned around and asked when he heard the sound.
"I haven't asked you yet, where is your home? How can I return it to you after I make money?" the little girl said with a serious face.
"Well... let's do it. When you have money, just go to a restaurant called Piaoxiangju and hand over the money to the servants inside, and say it's for their boss."
Chunfeng thought for a while and said with a smile that now there are several branches of Piaoxiangju in Liaodong, all of which are their own people.
"Okay, big sister, thank you. I remember, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible." The little girl ran back to the house happily.
Chunfeng smiled and looked at the little guy jumping figure, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of person the child's father would be.
This kid taught well!
Then I walked around the fishing village and received less than a thousand kilograms of kelp, about half of which came from the little girl's home.
But the village is really poor enough, with almost a few houses that can attract attention.
Later, the spring breeze learned from the villagers that the place they were sitting in was very prone to rising tides, and every heavy rain would flood the entire village.
At that time, they had to hide in the cave on the mountain behind, and the bays in their area were salvaged too hard in recent years, and now there are very few fish that can be caught.
The production of sea fish has decreased, coupled with frequent sea tide attacks, the house has to be repaired after each sea tide attack. After a few moments, the fishermen's income can only maintain basic survival, and sometimes even basic survival is not enough.
