Chapter 93 The copper coin went out for a spin and then came back again!
“Sir, when we boarded the ship, we bought a few old hens and kept them in the cabin. In the afternoon, we killed one, stewed a pot of chicken soup with dried abalone, and simmered it on low heat all afternoon. It's just ready to eat now!" Mother Li placed the casserole on the charcoal stove, arranged the side dishes on the tray into a flower shape, and then stepped aside respectfully!
Shen Lanxi glanced at the steamed fish placed in the middle, picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. It was very delicious.
“Is this a sea fish?”
Mother Wang quickly replied with a smile: “It’s a sea fish, my son just fished it out of the sea today!”
Shen Lanxi He picked up another chopstick and said: "Tell them, if the people on the boat want to improve their food, they should go to the sea to fish for it themselves!"
The three of them said in unison: "Yes!"
Mother Wang thought of something: "Sir, I heard from the boat owner that we will be floating on the sea for more than a month. Can we catch more fish and store them during this more than a month?"
Shen Lanxi Understanding what Mother Li meant, she agreed: "Yes! Tell them that the daily catch can be exchanged for money with Liu Yan!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that the lady was eating quietly and having nothing else to do, Haruyue told Qiu Shuang and went back to Liu Yan to convey the news.
Mother Wang had nothing else to do, so she also withdrew.
Liu Yan came back soon.
“Sir, when you talk about catching fish in exchange for money, do you mean everyone on the boat?”
Shen Lanxi: “Yes!”
“Since you let They come to me to get money. The price per catty of catch?”
Shen Lanxi: “It’s up to you!”
Young Master has given him a difficult problem!
"Master, I don't have so much loose money with me, can I keep accounts for them?"
Qiu Shuang moved a box from the side and opened it, which was full of copper coins.
Liu Yanhui made a calculation in his mind. If he was a sinister person, he would only pay one penny for a catty or two catties of fish. There were 100 people on the boat, even if each person had a catty, it would be more than a hundred penny. If Those who are good at fishing can get more than one pound a day, and the copper coins they take out will be even more.
This box of copper coins seems to be quite a lot, and it won’t be banned even after a long time!
Old Shen Lanxi was there: "Arrange the kitchen. Whatever they want, pay for it!"
Liu Yanhui opened his eyes wide: The copper coins went around and around again. Back!
Excellent!
Suddenly, Liu Yan had the courage and confidence to reduce the catch to three pounds and a penny.
Liu Laohu was on patrol when he saw Liu Yan smiling back with an exaggerated look on his face, so he walked up and joked a few words.
"What are you laughing at? Did you pick up money?"
Liu Yan smiled like a fox and said, "I am happier than picking up money!"
Liu Laohu wondered. "Is there anything happier than picking up money? Tell me quickly!"
Liu Yanhui deliberately lied: "Have a good rest at night, you will know tomorrow!"
Liu Laohu looked at Liu Yanhui's back with a puzzled expression, and murmured: "It is impossible to get a wife. "Really?"
If Liu Yan heard this, he would definitely reply to him, "What's the point of asking for a wife?" Getting a wife may not mean you will be happy for the rest of your life, but if you think about it in the future, you will laugh for the rest of your life!
Unfortunately, something happened to the Shen family before the next day!
"Sir, my grandmother is sick. Please let Dr. Zhang take a look!" Shen Yuanjing hurried out of the cabin.
The yamen guarding the hatch fell asleep and were woken up again. When they heard Shen Yuanjing say this, they looked a little bad and shouted impatiently: "An exiled prisoner thinks he is rich and valuable. What? Go back and bear it! "
Shen Yuanjing said anxiously: "My lord, please send a message to Mr. Lan. When my grandmother gets better, Mr. Lan will definitely thank you again. "
When the officials heard him mention Shen Lanxi, they reluctantly said "wait" and turned around to find someone.
"Brother Liu, Shen Yuanjing said that the old lady of the Shen family was sick. During the day, I heard them saying that they were pretending to be sick."
Liu Laohu also felt that the old lady Shen might be pretending to be sick, but , what if?
"Let's go ask Mr. Liu!"
Liu Yanhui was working on the account book in the house. He heard a knock on the door and got up to open the door. "Mr. Liu, this is what happened..." Liu Laohu explained the cause.
Liu Yanhui didn’t expect that the account book would be ready for use before the next day!
"It's so late, so I won't invite Dr. Zhang!" The main reason is that he has to negotiate with Dr. Zhang about the medical fee.
"I have ready-made medicine here. Does she have a fever, cough, cold, or injury from a fall?"
Liu Laohu looked straight at Liu Yan and his body trembled. !
"You want to give her the medicine?" Would he be so kind?
Liu Yan returned to the account book, picked up pens, ink and a medicine box, called Liu Laohu and went straight to the cabin!
"Mr. Liu!" When Shen Yuanjing saw Liu Yan back, it was like seeing a savior.
Liu Yan replied with a smile on his face: "Yuanjing, does your grandmother have a cold and fever, or is she injured from a fall?"
Shen Yuanjing hurriedly said: "The fever must be caused by suffering all the way, and the body can't bear it anymore!"
Liu Yan opened the medicine box, found a porcelain bottle and handed it over.
Shen Yuanjing was about to take it over happily when he heard Liu Yan reply: "For Mr. Lan's sake, I won't charge more, ten taels of silver per bottle!"
Shen Yuanjing The outstretched hand froze, and the smile suddenly changed shape!
Want money?
“Can you ask my big brother for money?”
Liu Yanhui’s smile slowly faded and he simply said: “No, this is a matter within our exile team, we don’t ask outsiders. !"
Shen Yuanjing quickly asked Liu Laohu for help, and the latter said, "He is right, just follow what he said!"
Shen Yuanjing's face immediately collapsed: "I don't have that much money. ”
Liu Yanhui gave the idea conscientiously: "Why don't you go back and get together with your family?"
Shen Yuanjing asked Liu Yanhui to wait, returned to the cabin, and came back dejected after a while.
"Are you short of money?" Although this was an obvious result, Liu Yanhui still couldn't help but want to hit Shen Yuanjing.
After all, he was in trouble because of the Shen family. Isn’t it too much to give him a blow?
"Mr. Liu, my grandmother is really sick, can't you be accommodating? I will definitely ask my eldest brother to thank you again later!"
Liu Yan replied: "No!"
Shen Yuanjing was just about to continue his request when he heard Liu Yan reply: "You can issue an IOU, and your family will work to pay off the debt!"
After saying this, the account book was also written.
"Do you sign it, or does someone in your family who can take charge sign it?"
Shen Yuanjing thought to himself, it's only ten taels of silver, so he can just sign it!
"I'll sign."
Liu Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?"
Shen Yuanjing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Sure!"
Liu Yan returned to the pen. Pass it to Shen Yuanjing, and after he signs it, he neatly picks up the medicine box and leaves!
Early the next morning, Liu Yan came back and called all the people in the bottom cabin out.
“Three kilograms of fish are worth a penny. Those who sign up should register with me. Those who don’t sign up can continue to go back to the cabin!”
After hearing the price, Shen Yuanjing felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
At this price, he could catch fish for a lifetime and still not be able to pay it!
