I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

No, you mean... the kind of service that's very fancy?

The kind where a man is on top of another man?

A closer look reveals that even his dark skin cannot hide the three-dimensional features of this boy. He is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his height is over 180 cm.

Although her skin is dark, it is as smooth as satin.

No, that's impossible.

The ancients, haha, not all ancient people were introverted and conservative.

It shocked even a modern person like her.

"I am indeed not opposed to taking in two slaves, but what can you do for me?"

"I can cook seafood. I've been cooking fish and seafood for 30 years. I can cook anything that appears in this sea area. I can make shrimp paste, dried fish, green and red silk. If you like spicy food, I can teach you. I guarantee that you can learn to cook spicy dishes in two or three days at most."

I can cook a seafood dinner.

Shen Ying looked at the boy who was taller than her. "What about this kid? What can he do?"

"He can soak in the water for half a day, hold his breath longer than ordinary people, swims fast, has nimble hands and feet, and never complains of being tired while working." The woman's eyes had three fine lines on them as she racked her brains to point out all the advantages of her son so that he would be liked.

Shen Ying did not agree immediately, but seeing that the young man had long arms and legs and was good at swimming, she thought for a moment and asked, "I need a servant, a servant who will not betray me, who can stand with me when in danger, instead of running faster than me. Do you understand what this means?"

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Excuse me, what does your family do?"

Shen Ying did not respond directly, but continued to ask new questions. "Become my man, and maybe one day you will have to take up arms for me to repel the attacker, or even kill him. If you can do that, you two can come aboard with me."

Gao Ming said that many people in Haojing area hoped to marry into wealthy families to earn a living. Some of them could not make ends meet in their hometowns, and some came out to look for a way out but failed to find one and almost starved to death.

In fact, she was planning to screen from there.

Isn’t this just a coincidence?

"Mom, I can do it. In the village, if someone bullies me, I will fight back." The young man spoke with a very unpleasant hoarse voice.

I guess he knew it himself, so he spoke in short sentences.

The woman no longer hesitated, and said that if something really happened, she would rush forward first and serve as a shield for the young lady.

Shen Ying chuckled. "Okay, I'm just saying, what's the price you guys offer for the cook and the farmhand who's good at water?"

"Two taels is enough, a living contract, as long as the lady provides food and lodging."

Not high, even quite low.

It seems that it is related to the tea merchant, which is why it is so urgent.

"Then please come to the ship within half an hour, and don't bring too much stuff."

"Yes, yes, just a quarter of an hour."

Seeing them leave in a hurry, without even asking for the money and running away, Shen Ying turned around to report to her parents.

No, it should be said, notify me.

"You, you," Shen Youtian couldn't believe it.

He and his wife were two steps faster than their daughter, so their daughter bought two servants, one who cooked and the other who could fight.

This this,

They are honest farmers, and they buy slaves?

"It's not really buying, it's hiring." Shen Ying only needed one sentence to calm her parents down. "We're going to live by the water in the future. How many of us can swim? We can find someone to teach us how to swim."

Shen Youtian: ...That’s true.

"Most importantly, it's only two taels of silver. Mom, Dad, we can stay at an inn and buy water on the way. That way the cost is not more than hiring two people."

Yup!

Two taels of silver.

Then the level of acceptance will increase.

As they were talking, mother Lin and son Saiyang came in, panting.

"It's so dark!" Shen Youtian blurted out in surprise.

Darker than this old man.

It's not the kind of dark and yellow color that comes from being tanned. How should I put it? It's just black. Shen Youtian was helpless with his own description skills.

"Saiyang's father is from a foreign country, from another country, very far away, and can't fight against this country. Anyway, just think he is tanned. Aunt Lin, Saiyang, this is my father Shen Youtian, and this is my mother."

"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen."

Mr. and Mrs. Shen Youtian were at a loss what to do. After Shen Ying took them on board, Mrs. Lin called Mr. and Mrs. Shen "Old Man" and "Old Lady".

It seems that you also know the title of the master's family.

The arrival of the two caused a sensation within the Shen family.

Lin was asked all sorts of questions by the female relatives. Saiyang started asking directly what she was supposed to do. Shen Ying suddenly pointed at Shen Youtian.

"My father is the boss, ask him."

Shen Youtian was about to burst, and he didn't know how to order him around: "Why don't you go follow Gao Ming, oh, the captain, and see what to do? I don't need any help here for the time being."

"Okay, Master." Shen Youtian breathed a sigh of relief as Saiyang left, but when he saw his daughter's teasing expression, he became angry again.

"You buy people, so you can take care of them yourself in the future."

"Hahahahahaha." Seeing Shen Youtian like that, feeling embarrassed and trying hard to keep a straight face, Shen Ying was really amused.

She didn't say now that she would buy a few more people later, so she just let Shen Youtian get used to it first.

When doing things and developing, we should always proceed step by step.

I don’t know if it was because a ‘Black Bao Gong’ came to suppress the situation, but the pirates that everyone was worried about did not show up.

Lin didn't lie, she was really good at handling seafood. If it weren't for the way of scooping out the seafood after just blanching it, the Shen family would not be used to it and would prefer to just drink porridge and eat dried vegetables. Lin would probably have been very busy.

Lin also learned Shen Ying's skill of making boat porridge.

Shen Ying was freed from the chore of cooking and could also enjoy fishing.

When the boat is going at the lowest speed, Saiyang will jump into the water and swim for a while. She is really like a black mermaid, flexible and agile.

Shen Ying admired it for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked Qi Yanchuan, who was fishing next to her. "Have you also filmed a movie about a stuttering autistic boy from a fishing village who steps onto the international stage and becomes a gold medalist?"

Every two years, a wave of "positive energy" emerges in the entertainment industry.

What was she filming at that time?

A fallen woman turns over a new leaf?

She has no choice, just shoot as long as she has money. The agency has not yet started to invest resources in her.

"I have taken photos of it." Qi Yanchuan suddenly added: "I have learned all four postures."

"Are you showing off?" She just flapped her feet in the water and could do a few breaststrokes, but she had never learned it seriously.

While chatting at noon, a pair of hands suddenly landed at Shen Ying's feet.

A fish was thrown up immediately.

Then comes the second tail.

Well, instead of fishing for two hours, it is better to go swimming in the water for a few laps.

Looking at the rippling water, Shen Ying felt a little eager to try something.

On the fourth day after setting out from the small fishing village, we arrived at Haojing.

Gao Ming did not abandon his men and leave, but went ashore to search for a new fleet.

Along the way, the Shen family had never caused him any trouble, and even gave him food and daily necessities in return. It was a give-and-take relationship, and whether out of morality or the friendship of this journey, he should find a new fleet to take them closer to Yazhou.

The closer, the better.

Haojing is also a large beach, full of fishermen.

Grandma Shen stood up and looked under the boat: "Are we here yet? There are so many people and boats here."
