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

Ruyi Restaurant accepted the side dishes and readily paid the remaining balance.

Lin and Cui Jingwen hurried to the escort agency again and got on a carriage to Lindong County.

Just like last time, the carriage was packed with cargo.

The escort agency is the courier of later generations, traveling between two places and delivering goods.

"Brother, what's the price for your escort agency's delivery?"

The escort remembered Lin and patiently replied, "Escort services can be divided into weighing and chartering. It's up to you which one you choose."

"Charter a car?"

The escort pointed at the carriage where Lin was sitting and said, "It's this kind of cart. It costs 200 coins per trip. You can load as much cargo as you want, as long as it can fit on the cart."

It doesn't take a whole carriage.

"What about weighing?"

"Twenty cents for a hundred jin, but you'll have to load and unload the truck yourself."

Lin nodded, understanding.

After getting off the carriage, the mother and son headed straight for the dock.

Lin relied on his memory to find the old man he met last time.

There were several baskets of half-dead shrimps and crabs on the stall, and next to the stall was an old man who looked equally listless.

The seafood in our own waters is not only scarce but also not fat. There is only sea mustard, which you can grab in large handfuls.

What’s the use of having too much of something if no one wants it?

Looking at the busy business at the nearby stalls, the old man closed his eyes resignedly.

"Uncle, do you have sea mustard?"

"No...what do you want?"

The old man subconsciously scratched his ears. As he got older, his ears always felt stiff.

Lin smiled and said, "I bought a basket of sea mustard greens from your house a few days ago. They tasted great when I got home. I'm here to buy some more this time."

The old man heard it clearly this time and looked at Lin carefully, as if he had come to buy something before.

But in total, not many people came to buy.

"Yes, yes, yes, there are plenty of sea mustard, how much do you want to buy?" The old man was so happy that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

There is no sea mustard on the stall now, but I have dozens of kilograms at home, which should be enough.

"I want 200 kilograms."

The old man slipped and almost lost his balance.

"Don't make fun of me, an old man. You want 200 kilograms of sea mustard?" He emphasized the word "sea mustard".

"That's what you asked me last time."

Lin was not impatient, she just thought the old man in front of her was somewhat cute.

No one wants sea mustard here, let alone spend money to buy so much of it.

"I...I don't have that much at home right now." The old man was afraid that Lin would turn around and leave, so he quickly continued, "But you can fish it out now. Don't worry, it will be quick."

Lin glanced at the sun and asked, "Is one hour enough?"

The convoy will only stay here for one hour. If we are late, we can only take as much as we can today.

"It won't take an hour. Look, the boat is tied up right here. I'll be there right away."

Following the old man's finger, there was a row of boats parked at the dock, and the old man's boat was parked at the very edge, looking a bit shabby compared to the boats next to it.

In a moment, the boat had already rowed away.

The mother and son walked around other stalls for a while and saw the old man panting as he dragged back two baskets of sea mustard.

"These... should weigh 200 kilograms."

The sun at sea was scorching and hot, and my forehead was covered with sweat and oil. It was so painful when I wiped it with my sleeves.

But the old man didn't care about these things and looked at Lin expectantly.

Lin paid immediately.

"Is it one penny and two pounds?"

"I don't need that much. These sea mustards are freshly caught and weigh a lot. Just give me sixty coins."

Lin thought about it and gave the old man seventy cents.

"These ten cents are for loading the cart. Please help me carry it to the city gate."
