Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

The crabs in the ground, except for others, actually did not hold much hope. Wang Xiujin felt that in the process of raising crabs, they did not put in any labor. There are also people who stay on the ground and do few unnecessary things. At most, they think of it, so they go to the river to catch some small fish to make drinks and throw them in. care.

The easiest way to cook crabs is to steam them. After washing them with water, add some ginger and steam them in a steamer. When you eat them, if you have vinegar, you can dip them in. The taste is delicious.During the period of selling steamed buns in the city, Wang Xiujin found a condiment similar to vinegar, but the locals didn't call it vinegar, because it was sour, they called it sour material.After Wang Xiujin bought it back, he called it vinegar.Although the people at home are strange, they get used to it after a long time, but when they go to the city to buy it, it is still called sour material.

The crab was on the table, and the incorruptible Prime Minister Wang had received a reward from the emperor. He had eaten crabs, so he naturally knew how to eat them. Sister Liu, who was given a crab, was flattered. She had never eaten crabs, but she had heard that they were valuable. That's all. Sister Liu is very grateful for giving her one.Wang Xiujin didn't pay much attention to it. His idea was that since he had recruited him back and signed a death contract, he would naturally be treated as a family member, and he might have a housekeeper in the future. This housekeeper is different from ordinary servants in terms of status.But the rest of the family put on a good posture and rewarded each other, but they couldn't let the other party have too many thoughts.

Knocking open the crab shell and seeing the seeds inside, Wang Xiujin's eyes widened in surprise. How could this be a female with seeds?And the crabs they raise in free-range are really the same outside and inside. They are big on the outside and fat on the inside. If they are raised for a few more months, the crabs will become bigger and fatter.While eating crabs, Wang Xiujin guessed the species.Although Wang Xiujin can tie crabs, he doesn't know much about the basic species, so he can only guess.

Satisfied with a meal of crabs, Wang Xiujin and his eldest brother sat in the yard and speculated that the crabs would not really grow in a few months.The two brothers, who have no experience at all, decided to bring two crabs to the city tomorrow to give to Shopkeeper Wu for a taste. As for Shopkeeper Wu's Dongfang, which is far away in the capital, it is better to wait for them to catch the crabs before harvesting the rice. It was not difficult, as ice could already be produced in large quantities at that time.There are ice and crabs on the ground, and then the express post will drive overnight. When it is delivered to the capital, it will probably not be broken.

When Shopkeeper Wu saw a big crab, he was really startled. He didn't know if the crab was good to raise. He didn't have much expectations for raising crabs before. It seems that he still underestimated people. "It's so plump before the season, and it will be even more delicious when it's mature. At that time, don't forget to agree with me, give priority to me, and be cheaper than others."

"I can't forget it. Then please send some to your boss for us to taste." Wang Xiubai stood up and cupped his hands. The two brothers have other things to do, so they will stay soon.Shopkeeper Wu immediately replied, "Yes, yes."

The two brothers wanted to go to the blacksmith shop, make two big iron barrels, and buy some thick wooden barrels that could hold rice. Before Tianding said that he wanted to open a grain shop, naturally he bought wooden barrels for rice, except wooden barrels. In addition to barrels, the brothers also ordered a lot of things.The shop has already started to tidy up and decorate. Before buying the house, the two brothers were very satisfied. After the original family in the shop moved out, they saw that it was empty and there were still many dilapidated things inside, so the two brothers were quite dissatisfied. The deed has already been booked, and the location really has nothing to say, so I can only suppress the unhappiness in my heart, and everything inside and outside of the search for people has been reorganized, which is almost the same as rebuilding a house.

The two walked around the city for half a day, and when they returned to the village, they always felt that others looked at them very strangely.The two felt strange, but they didn't force people to ask to understand.Not long after returning home, the village head brought the six compensation money to the two. Looking at the amount of money, the two more or less understood why the villagers looked at them with strange eyes.

Wang Xiubai smiled wryly, and said that he had misunderstood. The five taels they said was the total amount of compensation for the six families, not five taels for each family. Then Wang Xiubo only took ten taels, and the other 50 taels. He didn’t accept anything.

"Grandpa Tang thinks your crabs are worth it. It's not that Grandpa Tang accepts your crabs so he turns to you, but it also has something to do with your crabs. After eating crabs yesterday, I realized how they taste. They are valuable things. Now If you sell it, you can sell it at a high price, not to mention that it will be worth more when it grows." The village head thought that a family of ten taels was no big deal, so he took the opportunity to let the villagers know that crabs are valuable, and when they grow them , everyone will not care about the money invested in the beginning.

The two sides pushed each other for the 50 taels, and the sixth child in the house could hear clearly, "Uncle, you should take the money back. The 50 taels of bento are used for the public use of the village, to repair the ancestral hall, to renovate the road leading to the city, or to take the money back to the village. The roads are also better."

"This... I'm afraid it's not good!" The village chief felt that crabs were valuable because he couldn't let the old face down and misunderstand the public.

The two brothers found that their father felt very different recently from before. He was worried and confused, but at the same time he seemed to have a little peace of mind.The father had already spoken, and the brothers took a step back and said nothing more.It is still unclear why the sixth child has changed, and in which direction it will change. The reason why the sixth child is in the early stage now is to mention the wet shoes. After the reason was more or less related to the village chief, the sixth child said very tactfully that this matter needs to be explained, and their family will not be blamed.

If the village head could ignore Lao Liu, just put down the money and leave, but when he met Lao Liu's gaze, the village head suddenly felt a sudden, took the money and left.As he walked, he thought, the sixth child is indeed a high-ranking official, and his eyes are really scary.Holding money in his hands is very hot. How to solve it is a big problem, but it must not be sent to Lao Liu's family. If Lao Liu is really forced to accept it, he thinks that according to Lao Liu's "unclear" temperament, Maybe the money will be sent back directly to those six families.Give him the money right now, he has many ways to make the six families not think about going back.As Lao Liu said, it takes a lot of money to repair the village.

Wang Laoliu looked at his two sons, "It's such a simple thing, pushing it back and forth, how decent it is." After speaking, Wang Laoliu entered the room with his hands behind his back.The two brothers in the yard glanced at each other, then shrugged, they didn't want to take money at all!But the village head is a grandpa after all, so what can they say.

The follow-up solution was simple and rude, and directly recruited the males from each household to the ancestral hall. The village head stated bluntly that there was some misunderstanding in the matter of making the six families lose money. But thinking that he had to teach the six families a lesson, he discussed with several clan elders, and the money was deducted. After the autumn harvest, the ancestral hall was repaired, and the roads in the village were also repaired.In the future, crabs will be raised in the village, and many people will come to buy crabs. The roads in the village will be repaired, and it will be convenient for all kinds of vehicles to pass by.

Everyone has no objection to building the ancestral hall. The six families who paid 50 taels are anxious. That is 50 taels, which is enough to build several.Among those who did not take any money, there must be one or two who thought that the remaining money would be stolen by the village chief and clan elders.As for repairing roads in the village, no matter where they are, they don't think it is necessary.And when the latter point was brought up, no one said that road construction was useless.

"Village chief, do you hire people from the village to build the ancestral hall and roads, or do you hire people from other villages?"

"Village chief, no outsiders are needed for this matter. The affairs of our village should be busy with the villagers."

"Yes, yes, we don't need help from people from other villages."

Everyone had unprecedented enthusiasm for this matter. Standing behind, Wang Xiujin looked at the people around him, as well as the faces of the six families.

"How can the village chief ensure that the crabs can be sold?" Didn't all the six families have been hit by big cakes? The smart people immediately changed their minds. Now only the sixth grandfather's family raises crabs, can they tell them the way to sell them?

Some people put forward different opinions, and other people also cooled down a little bit of enthusiasm, yes!What if you can't sell it?Although they don't need to spend their own money to buy crab seedlings, it takes a lot of effort to keep them well. They don't have the money to hire someone to watch them at night, so they can only take care of them with their own family members. During the day, someone has to watch from the ground. If they can't sell it, they didn't do it for nothing.

Some people kept looking at the two brothers Wang Xiubai, Wang Xiubai just frowned, but said nothing, and Wang Xiujin looked at the sky and said nothing, it was not the two of them who asked them to raise them, whether they sold it or not, they had something to do with them Although he wants to wait until he succeeds, he will be able to grow some crab rice for the villagers, so that he can save him from buying land, and he has to ask someone to watch it day and night, and the grain store he wants to open in the future also needs some stable funds. A farmer who supplies "special" rice, but his income is limited to grain, and has nothing to do with crabs.Besides, their crabs haven't been sold yet, let's see what they can do.

"The matter of raising crabs is completely voluntary, not forcing everyone to follow along. If you want to raise crabs, there will be crab seedlings in the village. As for those who don't want to raise crabs, don't think about sharing the same money." The village head smiled. He opened his mouth and was not stumped by the question asked, "There is no way, we can figure out a way, buy it in Wuxian County, and then transport it to Xiangcheng, the crabs are delicious, but we still worry about not being able to sell them." The village chief smiled after speaking. He deliberately looked at the person who brought up the topic.

"After all, it's about the next year, so there's no need to make a decision right away. You can think about it slowly. But..." The village chief smiled meaningfully at the Liu family, and then his face became serious, "This morning the yamen servants came to pick up the corvees. It seems that there is one person missing, whose family didn't go!"
