Since Xuan Shen came here, he participated in the sweet Xi San and disappeared.

Li Lanzhen did not ask him too much about where he had been, and Han Mingjiang did not tell her where they had gone or what they had done.

After the vermicelli processing factory started operation, Li Lanzhen went to observe it for another three days.

Seeing that this group of workers were able to operate skillfully, she greeted the Southwest Frontier Defense Quartermaster.

She won't be coming here starting tomorrow, so go find her directly if you have any questions.

In the next few days, Li Lanzhen is going to the beach.

Find a small fishing village by the sea, take a walk, have a look, and buy some dried seafood.

Take it back to Youzhou City and sell it in the grocery store.

During dinner, Li Lanzhen told Han Mingjiang and the others that she was going to go out and travel around in the next two days.

Tell them not to worry if they don't come back at night.

Han Mingjiang and Xue Nizi both knew Li Lanzhen's abilities.

No one tried to stop her, of course, they knew that it was impossible to stop her.

Everyone in the family understands very well that Li Lanzhen is a person with her own ideas, and no one can stop her from doing what she wants to do.

I told her to be careful when going out.

Han Yisong and Han Yibai both wanted to go with her, and they even made excuses for themselves that they were following their grandmother to protect her.

But Li Lanzhen coaxed them into staying at home to protect their mother and their newborn baby sister.

And promised to bring them delicious food when they come back.

Using the same method, Li Lanzhen went to the market where seafood was sold.

After walking around for a few times and getting to know several groups of people selling seafood, I finally decided to follow five of them to their small fishing village.

Their village is called "Long-legged Gull", a very beautiful name.

Among the five people, there was a short, dark and thin man in his 50s. He was the village chief of their village.

Today he led these five villagers to the city to sell the seafood harvested in the village.

Because the quality of the seafood today was good, they sold them all and made some money. They were very happy along the way.

Although Li Lanzhen couldn't understand many of the languages, their happiness also infected her.

She followed them silently. The five of them talked and laughed happily along the way, and did not forget Li Lanzhen.

Because Li Lanzhen told them that she needed to buy a lot of seafood, including dried goods.

There are a lot of dried seafood in their village, but it's hard to sell them, so Li Lanzhen said she wanted to buy a lot of it, which made them excited.

The people from the Long-legged Owl village were walking behind, and they looked back at Li Lianzhen from time to time.

Li Lanzhen saw gratitude in their eyes.

Then they turned around and chattered even more excitedly.

Li Lanzhen guessed that they were discussing how to sell these dry goods to her.

Five people were pushing a large flatbed cart, and there were two baskets on their shoulders.

After walking for about an hour and turning two bends in the mountain, a group of shacks made of branches and grass appeared in front of us.

At a glance, there were probably more than a hundred straw huts.

The shabby scene left Li Lanzhen dumbfounded.

The desolation and ruin I saw along the way seem to be very far away.

Li Lanzhen patted her forehead. She had lived in the Peach Blossom Spring for too long and had forgotten that there were still many people in this land living below the poverty line.

Similarly, people may not have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear, and they may even sell their children.

Thinking of this, her mood became depressed. She walked slowly behind them without saying a word, leaning on a stick that the village chief had found for her.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, a group of people in tattered clothes came up to them and looked at the village chief and his men eagerly.

He became happy again when he saw that there was no seafood left in the car and baskets.

"Village Chief, have all the seafood for today been sold?"

"How much silver did you get?"

"Village chief, why didn't you buy some food?"

"Yes, and buy some salt. There is no salt left at home."

……

Chattering, they surrounded the village chief and his five men.

Li Lanzhen stood behind the crowd and listened and watched.

At this time, the village chief was heard saying, “The silver we get from selling seafood cannot buy much food.

Didn’t we buy a batch of wheat bran three days ago? Let’s use it for two days first. After we sell another batch of seafood, we can go buy food together.”

Li Lanzhen saw people's bright eyes dim in an instant.

She looked at the small fishing village and found that it was still far from the seaside, on the hillside by the sea.

There is also reclaimed land around their shacks.

But the land is barren, mostly sand and stones. Vegetables are planted, but they don't grow well.

It seems that the food they eat is exchanged for seafood in the city.

Li Lanzhen thought about it and decided to exchange the food in the space for some seafood.

This will help them more than giving them money.

She was also thinking about whether she could give them some sweet potatoes and potatoes so that they could grow them on the mountain and fill their stomachs.

She looked around, thinking about something.

Suddenly, she heard the village chief calling her, "Big sister, big sister, come and tell everyone what practical things you need?"

Li Lanzhen looked at the pairs of eager eyes and smiled.

"Village chief, as long as you have any dried seafood here that is clean and of good quality, I will take it.

I can exchange food with you."

"food?!"

"You have food. You can exchange it with us. We have food. I will trade with you!"

"We have cleaned kelp, seaweed, fish and shrimp at home! I'll trade with you!"

"We have them at home too. We keep our house very clean."

When the crowd heard Li Lanzhen say that she would exchange food for them, they became excited and rushed to tell everyone what kind of dry goods they had at home.

They were afraid that Li Lanzhen would not want their things, and then they would not be able to exchange them for food.

People crowded over and almost pushed Li Lanzhen down.

Li Lanzhen's face darkened. "Okay, stop arguing. If you continue arguing, I'll leave. There are many small fishing villages like this. I can also go to other villages to exchange for dry goods."

When the village chief heard Li Lanzhen say this, he immediately shouted.

"Everyone, be quiet and stand further away. Look, the nobles in our village have been squeezed to the point of falling down."

Looking at the people retreating, Li Lanzhen looked at the village chief and said.

"How about this, Village Chief, you find a place and I'll tell you in detail what I need.

But I have to make it clear in advance that all the dried seafood that you exchange with me for food must be clean, dried, and of good quality.

You can't give me rotten fish and shrimp. If you do, I won't exchange a single grain of food with you.

I also ask the village chief to manage your villagers well. Don't let your entire village be left without food because of the poor quality of the rotten fish and shrimps handed in by someone.

People standing around suddenly realized this serious problem.

They all looked at each other and the people around them with sharp eyes.

It seemed to be saying, each of you, take out the best things in your homes, and don't leave me without food.
