Chapter 97 Those who contribute and those who do not!
Shen Yuanjing and others were a little seasick at first. After eating and drinking enough, they quickly adapted.
Half of the government officials also fell down, and they were all lying in the room.
At noon Mrs. Song licked her face and ran back to Liu Yan to ask for money.
"Mr. Liu, the elderly and children at home really can't eat black cornstarch. Can you pay me some money first to improve the food for the family?"
Ms. Song felt a little unsure. Liu Yan returned home in the morning. I said I would be paid in the evening.
"Okay, you are the first one to stand up. The money for renting the fishing net will not be deducted from you for now. Your family caught more than eight kilograms of fish in the morning. I count you nine kilograms, and you are short of it. I'll make up for it in the afternoon!" He gave Mrs. Song the settlement coins and asked her to take her fingerprints!
Mrs. Song was holding the copper plate as if in a dream. Is she so easy to talk to?
She had been reselling things before and still had some money left on her hands. Today she will take her family to have a good meal!
I just don’t know if the things sold on board are expensive?
She went into the kitchen alone and asked her husband and children to wait at the door.
"Mother Wang, how much does a steamed bun cost?"
If it is expensive, she will buy half of it for her child.
"The prices will change every day. Today's steamed buns cost a penny a piece, and meat, fish and vegetables are all a penny a piece!"
Ms. Song looked shocked. Is she still being treated? On the way to catch up with the refugees, did they hallucinate because of hunger and thirst?
Mother Wang was also puzzled. Food is expensive, and meat and vegetables are even more expensive. At this price, we are selling at a loss.
But the price Mr. Liu gave is one penny. The kitchen affairs are now under Mr. Liu's control. Mr. Liu said it was one penny, even if the original price was turned into gold, it must be sold for one penny!
"Do you want to buy it or not?" Mother Wang urged.
“Buy, I’ll buy six steamed buns and a portion of meat.” Meat is the same price as vegetables, and she’s not stupid, so she must buy meat!
Mother Wang found a dustpan, installed it neatly and said: "I'm done with it, bring the dustpan back to me!"
Mrs. Song walked out of the kitchen with the dustpan in her arms as if in a dream. There were three pieces of meat for a penny, not small pieces, but big square pieces. The three pieces added together must be at least two or three taels.
So worth it!
"Husband, let's go eat quickly!" Mrs. Song was afraid that others would see her, like a thief, and walked quickly ahead with a dustpan in her arms.
The other prisoners had been waiting to see Mrs. Song when she came in. When they saw her coming out, they immediately rushed up.
"Gungungun, have you seen it? If you want to eat it, buy it yourself. If you dare to rob me, I will kill you!"
"Tsk, you are so stingy, it's not like we haven't earned anything. Got the money. Can't you see?"
Mrs. Song put the dustpan into her husband's hands, put her hands on her hips and scolded: "No, do you want to find trouble? Come forward, let's make a show of it."
Someone tried to break up the fight
“Forget it, good men don’t fight with women.”
“This bitch did something dirty, the last one she kicked in the crotch, My waist is not straight yet~”
Mrs. Song rolled her eyes and remembered what Mrs. Wang had just said. She immediately turned to her husband and said, "You take the children to eat first, and then I'll go in and take a look."
What if the price of things increases tomorrow? She had to buy some more steamed buns to store.
Other prisoners entered the kitchen just to join in the fun. When asked about the price, everything was only a penny, and they immediately wanted to buy it like crazy.
“I didn’t catch even one catty of fish today, and only three catties can be exchanged for a penny.”
“I didn’t catch enough three catties, how about we chip in?”< br>
“This is a good idea~”
After a while, these people made an agreement and went back to Liu Yan to exchange the money.
"Brother, didn't you catch a fish too? Let's ask them to collect money too?" Shen Yuantang looked at the people leaving eagerly and urged.
Shen Yuanjing looked embarrassed: "I still owe ten taels for selling medicine to my grandmother yesterday."
Shen Yuantang was almost furious: "I told you that my grandmother was faking it. , why don’t you believe it?”
Shen Yuanjing only found out that his grandmother was faking it after he got the medicine back. Before, my grandmother really looked like she was on the verge of death. As a younger generation, should he just watch something happen to his elders?
He smiled bitterly and said: "Yuantang, although grandma is confused, as juniors, we must not be unfilial!"
Shen Yuantang wished he could open his brother's head and see what was inside. . My brother owes ten taels of debt, which is the debt of their big house. No, when will such a large amount of money be repaid?
"Brother, grandma is not your grandma. You cannot be the only one to repay the money you owe. Go tell your uncles and ask them to help repay the money together!" Shen Yuantang thought about it. This is not enough. He continued: "Next time you write an IOU, think about our big house. If it weren't for this IOU, we would be able to buy steamed buns for our mother to eat today!"
Thought Guilt flashed in Shen Yuanjing's eyes as his mother fell ill along the way.
"I know, forget it this time, I have signed the IOU. Next time, if something like this happens again, I will definitely not come forward, okay?"
Shen Yuantang was angry Don't speak loudly.
"Yuantang, save some face for your brother." He really couldn't lose face if he was asked to go find his uncles now!
Shen Yuantang rolled his eyes: "Brother, my father is my grandmother's son. Next time my grandmother has something to do, let my father come forward. Look, among the children in the other rooms, did any one of them come forward? ”
Shen Yuanjing's eyes darkened and he nodded.
“Okay, I understand!”
“I’m going to find my big brother, will you go?”
“Go!”
～
The prisoners in the bilge knew that meals in the kitchen only cost a penny, so they quickly left the cabin and ran to the kitchen without catching the Shen family.
“I want three steamed buns and one meat dish!”
Mother Wang raised her head and glanced at the person who paid, and said with a cold face: “Not for sale!”
"Why not sell it?" the prisoner said anxiously.
Mother Wang: "Master Liu said that we will only sell to those who contribute. If you have any objections, please go to Master Liu!"
Liu Laohu happened to see a lot of people here and came over by himself.
“What, I heard someone making trouble here?”
When the prisoners heard Liu Laohu’s voice, they quickly lowered their heads and shrank their necks in fear, not daring to make a sound!
"You want to eat without exerting any effort. I think you want to be whipped!"
"Why are you still standing here? Why don't you go back to the mouse hole!"
The prisoners didn't dare to let out a single fart and returned to the cabin in despair.
In the afternoon, both sides of the boat were full of people, some fishing with nets and some fishing in the sea with bait.
“Big brother.”
Shen Yuanjing came with his younger brothers and sisters.
Shen Lanxi put down the book and glanced at the sea view in the distance.
"Why don't you go fishing?"
Shen Yuanjing said embarrassedly: "The fishing rods were taken away by others first!"
Shen Yuanqing was the youngest and could not hold back his words the most.
"Brother, if we continue to practice martial arts, are there any cakes to eat?"
Shen Lanxi smiled and hooked her hand at Shen Yuanqing.
“Come here!”
Shen Yuanqing glanced suspiciously and walked up to him with small steps.
Shen Lanxi stretched out her hand and pinched his face: "Darker, thinner!"
Shen Yuanqing blushed: "I have grown up, you can't pinch my face anymore. "
Shen Lanxi squinted and said: "Others will give you cakes when they want to practice martial arts. As long as you let me pinch their faces, you will give them cakes. Do you want me to pinch them? "
