Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

There is a hustle and bustle outside Lindong County.

The county town is next to the sea, and there is a pier outside the town. The shore is full of boats, and the sound of horns in the distance is deep and loud.

It's much more lively here than Qingyang County.

The city gate.

The captain of the escort agency called everyone together and said, "Everyone, listen carefully. The escort team will return in two hours. Those who want to return to Qingyang County should wait at the city gate in advance. No one will be waited for after that time."

It took the convoy one and a half hours to come from Qingyang County. The people who followed the convoy were exhausted after walking all the way under the scorching sun. Only five out of more than ten people expressed their desire to go back with the convoy.

The others left in small groups. The captain turned to Cui Jingwen and said politely, "Are you going back later?"

"Going back."

"Okay." The captain pointed to the tea stall by the dock. "If you guys come back early, go sit at the tea stall for a while. Our convoy will also be replenishing fodder there before returning. We might see you there then."

Cui Jingwen thanked him politely.

Most of the ships in Lindong County are cargo ships, but there are also many fishing boats returning from the sea. The fish must be sold at a high price when they are fresh, so there are many vendors setting up stalls near the dock.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

Lin carefully avoided the muddy puddles under his feet. For a moment, he felt like he was back in the seafood market in his previous life. There was the same fishy smell, but it was even more muddy here.

"Madam! Crabs! Twenty cents a basket!" Cui Jingwen felt like he was in the Grand View Garden. "This is too cheap."

The crabs were packed in bamboo baskets, each basket weighing about ten pounds.

In the past life, a pound of crabs cost dozens of yuan, but here a big basket only costs twenty cents, which is really cheap, like picking it up for free.

"Mom, let's buy a basket." Cui Jingwen's eyes suddenly widened again after saying this. "We also have oysters, which are even cheaper. Ten coins for two baskets."

“Pipi shrimp is also cheap...”

Cui Jingwen wants to buy everything he sees.

Lin was too lazy to pay attention to him. She turned her eyes and saw the kelp she was looking for on the stall a few steps away.

There was nothing else on the stall except two large baskets of kelp.

"Uncle, what are these green leaves?" She didn't know what kelp was called in ancient times.

The stall owner was about the same age as Old Man Cui. He had been fishing for years, and his skin was tanned and shiny. "This is sea mustard."

Lin looked at the kelp in the basket. The tender green color looked very fresh.

"I haven't eaten fresh vegetables in a long time. Seeing the lush green vegetables makes me want to eat some." Lin asked casually, "How much are these vegetables?"

"Two catties for one penny, I'll give you that." The old stall owner waved away a fly. "You're not from Lindong County, so I won't lie to you. Not many people eat sea mustard here. Two catties for one penny, I'm just making a living."

"It's okay, I'll just try it for fun."

Hearing that she was sure she wanted to buy it, the stall owner took out a straw rope. The sea mustard was slippery and difficult to let go, so it needed to be tied up with straw rope. "How many pounds do you want?"

Lin smiled and said, "I want this basket."

The old man's hand trembled, and the rope fell to the ground. "A basket? This basket weighs thirty pounds."

"Thirty catties is fifteen coins." Lin counted out the coins and said, "Please keep them."

The old man rubbed his eyes to make sure it was not an illusion. Someone actually wanted to buy 30 kilograms of sea mustard.

Lin also felt that thirty kilograms was too much, but the two counties were too far apart, and considering the round-trip transportation and manpower, it would be a bit of a loss to buy several kilograms at a time.

The old man gave the basket to Lin. At this time, Cui Jingwen also came back with a basket of crabs in his left hand and two bamboo tubes in his right hand.

Lin asked doubtfully, "What is this?"

Cui Jingwen said proudly: "The oyster shells were too heavy. I gave the stall owner five more coins and asked him to take out the oyster meat so that it would not sink."

The bamboo tube contains the oyster meat.

He is so witty.

Lin curled the corners of her mouth, not wanting to hit him.

Finally, the two exchanged the things in their hands. Cui Jingwen carried the bamboo basket, and Lin carried the crabs and bamboo tubes, and walked towards the tea stall.
