Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Didn't you agree to arrange a ghost marriage for Xiaolan? Why are you pretending to be so hypocritical in front of me?" Cui was so angry that she spoke without thinking.

However, these words were very effective, and Mr. Sheng shut up immediately. This was a stain that he could never erase, and a debt that he would always feel in his heart.

"Dad, we have to be filial to him in the future. We have to look at the long-term." Xiao Lan said.

This chaotic experience made Sheng Xuan grow up quickly. He was no longer the thoughtless Sheng Xuan. In addition, his family's previous business, house building, and land purchases also gave him a lot of experience, which not only broadened his horizons, but also taught him a lot.

"She just contacted us and heard that our Xiaoting was going to get engaged, and then this happened. It's a pity that her grandmother could say that. It would be fine if she didn't help us a little, but she even wanted to cheat our Xiaoting. Among our three children, Xiaoting is the hardest-working one and has spent the longest time with us. We finally got our days together, but then there was chaos again. She hasn't had a good day with us..." Zhang sighed.

But thinking of Sheng Xuan's rejection of Cui just now, Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

"Mom, our lives will be better in the future, don't worry." Xiao Lan comforted.

As the weather got hotter day by day, the situation completely stabilized, and there were more small vendors. Xiao Lan then realized that the provincial capital had its advantages, but the provincial capital was big and difficult to live in. The expenses of living in the provincial capital were really too high.

"Selling sea fish, fresh sea fish..."

Hearing the hawking outside, Xiao Lan's ears pricked up all of a sudden, "Big sister, did you hear that?"

This is another benefit of living in the capital city. You can eat fresh sea fish, which was unimaginable when you lived in Shengjiatunzi.

"Sister, let's go and take a look, otherwise they will be gone soon." Xiaolan pulled Xiaoting's hand off the kang and dragged her to the door.

"Fishmonger, wait a moment!" Xiao Lan called out loudly as soon as she walked out of the yard.

"Hey, here we come."

Then Xiaolan heard the fishmonger calling out to the animals. It turned out that he wanted to drive the animals to Xiaolan's doorstep for her to choose.

The man selling seafood was a man in his forties or fifties. He drove a large cart filled with all kinds of seafood.

About 30 miles from the city is the seaside, where the villagers make a living by fishing. Shengjia Village is far from the seaside, so they can't eat fresh sea fish all year round. But in the city, Xiaolan is lucky.

"What do you want to buy?" The man opened the car and let the two sisters choose.

Xiao Lan walked up to it and looked into the car. Her eyes lit up instantly. It turned out that there were not only sea fish in the car, but also sea intestines.

Xiao Lan loved eating sea cucumber in modern times because it was very fresh. Now when she saw it, her eyes lit up. Xiao Lan reached out her hand and touched the sea cucumber, and found it was very fresh.

"Girl, we caught these seafood this morning and immediately loaded them onto the truck to sell. What you just touched is called sea cucumber. Not many people in the city dare to eat it, but I have eaten it and it is really delicious." The man saw that the girl was brave enough to touch the sea cucumber with her bare hands, so he started to sell it to her.

Xiao Lan thought of the delicious taste of sea cucumber and swallowed secretly. "How much is this sea cucumber per pound?" Xiao Lan asked.

"Five cents a pound." The driver answered cheerfully.

Xiao Lan felt that it was a great deal to be able to buy such a big and fresh sea cucumber at this price.

"Can it be cheaper?" Xiaoting is good at thriftiness and asked based on the principle of the cheaper the better.

"How much do you want to buy? It has to be cheap."

It is the seafood season now, and a large amount of seafood is on the market, but few people would buy sea cucumbers. This man has never seen two sisters so eager to buy sea cucumbers.

"Let's buy all these sea cucumbers." Xiao Lan said with a wave of her hand.

Xiaoting was just about to persuade Xiaolan to buy less, because they had not tasted the sea cucumber yet, and if it didn’t taste good, it would be a waste of money.

But when she saw Xiaolan's soothing look, she didn't stop him. Xiaolan was the one with the most ideas in the family, and she might have some new and wonderful ideas.

After weighing, the total weight was 160 kilograms. "You asked for a lot, so I'll charge you four cents per kilogram." The man selling seafood was a straightforward person and simply charged one cent less per kilogram.

When Xiaoting went home to get a sack to pack the sea cucumbers, she alarmed Zhang, and she followed Xiaoting out.

Seeing Xiao Lan buy seafood that she had never seen before, she was not unhappy, but smiled and shook her head, "These seafood can't be kept for a long time. I wonder how many stomachs you have to eat if you buy so much."

"A total of 640 coins," Xiao Lan counted out the money to the man. The man took the money but did not leave immediately. Instead, he took two fish from the cart and handed them to Xiao Lan. "Girl, you bought a lot at one time, so this is a bonus for you."

Xiao Lan accepted it with a smile, thinking that this man was good at doing business.

After the three of them carried the sea cucumbers into the house, Xiao Lan picked up a sea cucumber and smelled it. It smelled like the sea.

"Miss, do you know how to eat sea cucumber?" Zhang asked.

When Xin, Fu and Liu heard Xiaolan and the others' voices, they all ran over to see what was happening.

"Mom, just cut off the thorny ends of the sea cucumber and then take out its internal organs." Xiao Lan said.

After hearing Xiaolan's teaching, the family started to prepare sea cucumbers.

"Don't think that you bought so much. In fact, only the skin is edible. There won't be much left after processing it." Zhang said with a smile.

Xiaolan took out some sea cucumbers that Zhang and her friends had prepared, cut them into small pieces, and then rinsed them with clean water for later use. Meanwhile, Xiaoting had already washed a handful of leeks, and Xiaolan cut them into pieces. Boil water in a pot, add the sea cucumbers, blanch them slightly, and remove the mucus on the surface of the sea cucumbers. When the sea cucumbers change color, take them out. Cool them with cold water and wash off the mucus on the surface of the sea cucumbers.

Add oil to the pan, add leeks and stir-fry, add soy sauce for seasoning. When the leeks are cooked, add the sea cucumber, stir-fry quickly for a few times and then serve.

During the meal, this dish immediately became everyone's favorite. "This sea cucumber is so fresh." Zhang Shanfeng said as he took two pieces with his chopsticks.

He has traveled to many places and eaten many delicious foods, but this is the first time he has eaten such fresh food.

"Xiao Lan, the weather is so hot, you bought so many sea cucumbers, we can't finish them all." Zhang said worriedly while eating. Although there are many people in the family, they can eat as much as they want. But she felt a little distressed to eat so much money worth of food in one day.
