    While they were talking, the other two sons of the old man Liu Xi also came back. The second son Liu Biao and the third son Liu Bao were both burly young men. One of the two brothers was dragging a heavy fishing net, and the other was carrying a heavy fishing net.  Carrying the sea fish, I walked in briskly. It was obvious that today¡¯s harvest was good!

    Seeing the scene in the yard, the two brothers were stunned. There was meat and wine. These were good things that were hard to see during the Chinese New Year. Not to mention that there was a beautiful woman sitting there who looked like a fairy. With them,  Brother's experience is that even in the most beautiful dreams, there has never been such a scene!

    "Biaozi and Baozi come here to greet you. These are big merchants from Xuchang, specially coming to collect sea salt!" Liu Xi quickly called his two sons to salute, and at the same time he checked their harvest. It was really good. The bamboo basket  There are not only large yellow croaker, sea catfish, eel but also several fat saury fish, which are the best in seafood. The meat is delicious and melts in your mouth. It is a treat today!

    "Liu Biao, Liu Bao, how many adults have you met!" When they heard that they were merchants coming to collect sea salt, the brothers were naturally very happy, but then they became suspicious. They had also seen caravans from other places before, and there were not a hundred of them.  There were dozens of people, and there were a large number of chariots and horses accompanying them. The flags were fluttering in front and back, which was very majestic Of these few people, there were only six people, two of whom were women, and the carriages were only  One, or a float for people, does it look like a big businessman?

    Xiao Yi's eyes were like lightning, and he could naturally see the concerns in the hearts of the two brothers at a glance. He knew that he had to show some strength, and then he winked behind him. The captain of the guard, Xiao Bin, immediately took a step forward and took out a brocade from his arms.  When the bag came in, with a slight shake, a dozen small golden barley seeds fell out and hit the table with a 'dang' sound!

    "Brush!Wow!"

    The Liu family was stunned. They all stared intently at the dozen golden barley seeds. Their mouths were open wide enough to fit three eggs. The second son, Liu Bao, carefully picked up one and licked it with his tongue. The taste was slightly sweet.  , "Oh my god, this is really gold, and it is pure pure gold. He is indeed a wealthy businessman, and his skills are extraordinary!"

    It's not that the Liu family has never seen the world, but that gold is too rare among the people. China's currency has always been based on the "copper standard". As recorded in history books: "The emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty once rewarded the counselor Chen Ping with gold."  Forty thousand kilograms', this 'gold' is actually brass. As for real precious metals such as gold and silver, they are very scarce in China. Not only is the number of mineral deposits limited, but it is also extremely difficult to mine.  The production is barely enough to be used as a decoration for the royal family, but if you want to use it as currency to circulate, it is far from enough!

    In desperation, the rulers had no choice but to use copper as currency, which had a much different value but a sufficient quantity. Therefore, ordinary people basically used copper coins to trade in their daily lives, or simply bartered, but they never had it in their lives.  There are many people who have seen gold!

    The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. A small golden barley seed is enough to keep Old Man Liu's family in the house for several years without eating or drinking. As for the dozen or so golden barley seeds, they can "Haihun Pavilion"  'You can buy all the sea salt and still be rich!

    "These are considered deposits, and they are at the discretion of the old man. As for the sea salt, as I said before, you can collect as much as you have. When the goods are all available, I will send someone to pick them up!" Xiao Yi pushed the golden barley seeds forward.  To show your sincerity!

    "Sir, please rest assured. Even if this old man is risking his life, he still has to handle this matter beautifully!" Holding the golden barley, Liu Xi had a look of happiness on his face and tears of excitement were about to flow. When he saw  Come on, this is not money, but the livelihood of hundreds of fishermen in their Haihun Pavilion!

    Brothers Liu Bao and Liu Biao were also dancing excitedly. With this money, the villagers would be able to have enough to eat for a few days. On the contrary, the eldest brother Liu Hu was calmer and seemed to be mentally prepared. He looked at Xiao Yi and others.  My eyes are brighter too!

    Such a great event naturally warrants a proper celebration. Those two baskets of seafood became the best food. Now the Liu family took pots, boiled water, scraped scales, washed fish and prepared a 'whole fish feast'  Entertaining the crowd!

    As expected of fishermen who live by the sea all year round, although there are not many condiments available, after their processing, these sea fish immediately turned into delicacies with all the colors, aromas and tastes, even a portion of boiled fish  The fish soup can be boiled into a light milky white color, which makes people drink it with endless aftertaste!

    "My dear, let's have a fish feast. The dream of two lifetimes is finally fulfilled today!" When the delicacies were served, Xiao Yi immediately transformed into a glutton, flicked his cheeks, opened his front teeth, and quickly moved like a storm.  Seventy to eighty percent of the fish on the table were wiped out, and no one else even had a chance to lift their chopsticks. Lu Ling'er was so shocked that she was stunned.?The little boy was really wondering how Brother Xiao Yi could hold so much food in his stomach. Diao Chan covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's really a starving ghost reincarnated~~"

    Even Liu Xi¡¯s family looked at each other in confusion. Good guy, this is too much to eat. No wonder there is a famine in the mainland of the Central Plains. If they are all such first-class foodies, no matter how much food they have, it will not be enough!

    "Is this it? When I was a child, my family was too poor and we never had enough to eat, so when we grow up, we can eat a little, just for fun!" Looking at the strange looks from everyone, Xiao Yi also felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he  He was so thick-skinned that he immediately made an excuse for himself!

    "It doesn't matter, there are still a lot of fish caught in the sea, just make some more!" The Liu family continued to boil water and cook fish. All the fish just went into the belly of this black-faced boy, and the other guests had not yet touched their chopsticks.  Woolen cloth!

    As for Xiao Yi¡¯s excuse, the Liu family didn¡¯t believe a word of it. In their opinion, how could a person with a carriage, horses, guards, and a bag of gold easily starve?

    Moreover, they also repositioned Xiao Yi's identity. He should be a rich young man who had nothing to do at home, so he took the housekeeper (Chen Gong), bodyguards (Xiao Bin, Cao Xing), and the wife of the inner chamber (  Diao Chan), we went out to play together

    The only thing that puzzled them was Lu Ling'er. She called Xiao Yi brother, but called Diao Chan 'second mother'. What's the relationship?

    "Could it be that this black-faced boy seduced his father's concubine and ran away from home for fear of being punished? He was too brave, or" The Liu family members began to speculate for a while, and their eyes were on Diao Chan.  He and Xiao Yi were going back and forth, but there was nothing they could do. Looking at the expressions between the two of them, who would believe that they had nothing to do with each other?

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Patriarch, patriarch, something bad has happened, 'Yubapi' is here again!" While everyone was eating and drinking, several long, dark fisherman youths ran over, with anxious looks on their faces!

    "Yubapi!" Upon hearing these three words, Liu Xi's expression suddenly darkened. The three brothers Hu, Biao and Bao were full of resentment. The little girl Liu Yu'er looked even more frightened, as if there was a ferocious beast.  Entering the village!

    "I dare to ask the old man, what is this 'Yubapi'? Could it be a monster crawling out of the sea?" Xiao Yi only now knew that Liu Xi was actually the clan leader here. According to the local customs of the Han Dynasty, he should also be the leader of the clan.  No wonder he is a well-spoken cadre as he works as a "pavilion chief". It turns out he is also a small cadre!

    "Yubapi is not a thing, he is a leech lying on our fishermen's bodies to suck blood!" The old man Liu Xi's face changed several times, and then he began to explain in detail

    It turns out that 'Yu Papi' is a person, his real name is 'Dong Yu', he is a steward of the Chen family in Guangling, and he is usually responsible for purchasing sea salt and salted fish from fishermen. As for this guy's character, he can use five words  To describe, "treacherous, lazy, greedy, slippery, bad", it is not just bad in general, it is definitely as bad as "sores on the head and pus on the feet", buying and selling by force, bullying men and women, cheating and abduction  , there is nothing he can't do. If there are three thousand bad things in the world, this kid accounts for at least two thousand. But everyone is afraid of the power of the Chen family and dare not offend him, so they have to give him a nickname behind his back.  The nickname of 'Yubapi'!

    This time ¡®Yu Papi¡¯ came to Haihun Pavilion, he must have come to collect sea salt by force. That¡¯s why everyone is so angry, but they have no way to deal with this person. It¡¯s a typical example of someone who dares to be angry but dare not speak out!

    "Dongyu?What a strange surname, what a strange name!" Xiao Yi touched his chin and pondered for a while. Since he met a fellow collector of sea salt, according to business principles, let's compete based on their abilities, right?

    "Old man, please ring the gong immediately and tell the villagers around you that from now on, I will start collecting sea salt. I will pay you 800 yuan per stone, and I will pay on delivery. I want to see who has more money."  !¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
