Traveling through the ancient times

In a blink of an eye, it was the day that Chuhua had agreed with the fruit farmers. Early in the morning, the fruit farmers were pulling truckloads of fruits to the dock.

As the sun rises, the pier gradually becomes lively...

Nian Chuhua and Qi Muhe stood under the boat. A fruit farmer pushed a cart full of fruits in front of Nian Chuhua and others. The fruit farmer told Qi Muhe the names of the fruits for verification. Nian Chuhua, Hua Ling and others went up to check the size of the fruits in the bamboo basket, whether they were fresh, and whether there were any rotten fruits.

At the beginning of the year, they finished the inspection and confirmed that there were no problems. The fruit farmers put the fruits down for weighing, and then the guards moved them into the cabin.

At the beginning of the year, the amount of fruits purchased was relatively large. Because each basket of fruits had to be checked one by one, the speed could not be increased.

This resulted in a long queue behind the dock, waiting for inspection and weighing, which took up most of the traffic on the dock.

Other merchants and cargo ships were somewhat dissatisfied with Nian Chuhua and her crew. One group of merchants wanted to deliver fruit to their ship, but they were blocked by fruit farmers' cars waiting for Nian Chuhua's inspection. "What's going on? Can't we get our work done if the road is blocked?"

One person started the scene, and others followed suit. Merchants and fruit farmers pushed each other, and the situation got out of control for a while.

"Oh no, miss. There's a fight going on up ahead..." a servant ran up to report to Nian Chuhua.

"What's going on?" Nian Chuhua asked Hua Ling and others to continue working, and walked over to ask the servant who came to report.

"There are too many fruit farmers delivering fruits to us, blocking the road ahead. Other vendors and fruit farmers wanted to pass but couldn't, so they became dissatisfied and started fighting." The servant was so anxious that he was sweating profusely because the scene was so chaotic.

"Let's go and take a look!" Nian Chuhua said as he went to the place where the fight was happening. Seeing this, Hua Ling quickly put down what she was doing and followed him.

As they walked up the mountain, Chushulhua could hear the noise from a distance, "This road is not yours, why can't we stay here?"

"This road is not mine, but it's not yours either. Why are you blocking us here and not letting us pass?"

"Didn't I tell you not to pass? Isn't this the road? Go ahead and cross it!"

"It's so narrow here, how can our car get through?"

"Whether you can get through or not is your business, not mine. Who asked you to come so late?"

"That's right, it's not like we didn't give you way..." Another fruit farmer was also indignant. It's not like they didn't give you way, but they couldn't.

"There are cars in front and behind me. I'm almost at the edge of the road, and you're asking me to give way. How can I give way?"

"Then you can't just block here, right?"

There were a lot of people gathered around the blocked area, some were arguing and fighting, while others were just watching the fun.

The servant ran up to separate the crowd, "Make way, our lady is here!"

Hua Ling stood in front of Nian Chuhua to prevent anyone from squeezing her. "Everyone, stop arguing and make way..."

The scene was so chaotic that their voices were drowned out by the quarreling and booing, and no one paid any attention to them!

The boy was pushed aside by the people watching the excitement inside, "Why are you pushing? If you want to watch the excitement, stand at the back..."

Nian Chuhua was really at a loss. He looked around but couldn't find any suitable tools. He said something to Hua Ling, and Hua Ling quickly returned to the boat, took an iron basin and a wooden stick and came back to Nian Chuhua.

Nianchuhua took a wooden stick and hit the iron basin hard, "Stop it!"

This shrill sound immediately attracted the attention of the people around, and everyone stopped to look at the New Year's Eve painting.

Suddenly being stared at by so many people, Chushulhua stepped forward somewhat awkwardly, "Everyone stop for a moment and listen to me..."

"What are you talking about, little girl? Stop making trouble here and go play somewhere else..." A fat man who was watching the fun howled at Nianchuhua.

"What's the point of you arguing here? We have to find a way to solve the problem, right?" Nian Chuhua ignored the fat man and said to the people who had just pushed him.

Several vendors recognized Chuanchuhua. Their boat was unique. In the past few days, a group of people had been barbecuing and playing on the boat. People on the surrounding merchant ships thought that the group of people were young men and women out for fun.

Who knew that early this morning, so many people started bringing them fruits, and they realized that the group of handsome men and beautiful women also came here to do business.

The fruit farmers who were delivering fruit to them had blocked the way so that no one could pass through. So a merchant whose hat was even pulled askew came forward to argue with Nianchuhua.

"Miss, please give us an explanation. You asked them to line up here and block the road. How can we do business? You can't just care about your own convenience and ignore others, right?"

The fruit farmers also recognized the New Year painting and greeted it one after another.

At the beginning of the year, Hua comforted the merchants and fruit farmers. She had noticed along the way that this road was only wide enough for one carriage to pass. If their people stopped by the roadside, the people coming behind would not be able to pass.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I was not thoughtful enough and have caused you all trouble. Please wait for a moment. I will ask someone to make way for you."

The others saw that the girl in the early morning painting was quite humble, so they stopped shouting. "Please hurry up, Miss. We are still waiting for the goods to be loaded on the ship."

"Yes, you may want to go to the side and have some tea first. I will pay for all your expenses in the tea shop. Please wait for a moment. I will arrange it right away."

When the merchants and fruit farmers heard what Nianchuhua said, their attitude softened and they went to the teahouse in groups of two or three to drink tea and wait.

Nian Chuhua looked at the dispersing crowd and breathed a sigh of relief. She had been prepared to engage in a debate with them, but she had no idea that these people were quite reasonable and the issue was resolved with just a few words.

Let Hua Ling go to the front to see if there is a more spacious place, and let the fruit farmers who have not arrived yet wait in the spacious place first.

There was a weed-covered lot next to where their boat was docked. Since they were already on the narrow road, they asked them to pull their car to the lot and wait so that they could clear the way.

At the beginning of the year, he found the owner of the vacant land and negotiated with him to rent the land for two taels of silver.

Chushul Hua brought out paper and pen and gave a number to all the fruit farmers who had pulled their fruits to the open space. Qi Muhe and the others asked the farmers to go up and weigh the fruits according to the numbers to avoid any quarrels over who came first.

But they still underestimated the efficiency of the tools of this era. Hua Ling reported that more and more fruit farmers were coming, but the weighing process on their side was slow, and there was a risk of road blockage.

So they went to the town and bought two scales, placed them on the open ground and started checking and weighing. They were short of manpower, so even the cook on the ship was called out to help move the fruit.

They were busy until dark, and no one had time to drink a sip of water...

After weighing the fruits of the last few fruit farmers in the dark, Chushouhua gave them a few dozen more coins and asked them to stay in the inn in the town for one night and go home the next day to avoid danger on the road after dark.

The fruit farmers were grateful for the New Year's Eve paintings and expressed their thanks again and again!

After packing up everything and returning to the boat, everyone was exhausted. At the beginning of the year, Huahua had not thought of buying a little here and a little there, and ended up buying so much.

If they had known there would be so many, they would have asked the fruit farmers to deliver them at different times, so they wouldn't have been so tired. Fortunately, Jiang Ruixue and the others helped, otherwise it would have taken them two days to finish!

When Chushulhua thought of this, he sang a song of gratitude to Jiang Ruixue, which made Jiang Ruixue laugh.

Everyone was tired after a long day, so Chushuhua asked the restaurant at the pier to bring some food to them. Everyone went out to eat, dragging their hungry and tired bodies.

After filling their stomachs, they regained their spirits. No one wanted to play anymore. They went back to wash up and fell asleep...
