I was a young master in ancient times

There are still 20 days before Mrs. An's birthday banquet, and the convoy to the south has finally returned.

Ankang excitedly drove the ox cart with Huzi, and went to the town to visit the grocery store of Wei's Commercial Company.

When passing through Sunjiatun, he put Aunt Sun down.

"Ms. Sun, in two days, I will meet you when we return to the farm. You can help find some capable women in the village. Girls, my grandma's birthday banquet needs help."

Aunt Sun agreed and got off the car at the entrance of the village with her small bag on her back.

The goods brought back by the convoy have been moved into the warehouse behind the shop.

Xu Li walked into the warehouse with Ankang and others, and he was greeted with the smell of salted fish.

Ankang stepped forward, lifted the blue cloth covering the basket, and said "Yo", "How many salted fish did you bring back?"

Lao Cai, the team leader, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a melon cap, quickly replied respectfully, "This salted fish is worthless at the seaside, and you can get a basket for thirty Wen."

"Master, look at this again."

Lao Cai lifted the cover, pointed to the black dry goods in the basket, and said, "This one is cheaper, you can get a basket for five cents."

Ankang squeezed a little to smell the smell, then crushed some and put it in his mouth to taste, "Laver."

Lao Cai said pleasantly, "That's it, that's it. The fishermen on the beach say it's called seaweed, and it's a vegetable in the sea. We don't understand how vegetables can grow in the sea."

Xu Li hurriedly asked, "Master, do you know how to eat this?"

"I know. Seaweed and egg drop soup. Eating some seafood is good for your health." Ankang opened a basket and saw a long black thing inside. He fiddled with it and looked back and forth, "Kelp?"

"It's kelp, it's kelp!" Lao Cai responded repeatedly.He collects these things just for cheap, he doesn't know these things at all, and he heard fishermen say that these things can be eaten.The things collected at such a cheap price, I think I can sell them at a profit, and I have collected a lot of baskets.

Xu Li sighed in his heart, everyone said that the young master is ignorant, but the young master obviously knows everything.

Thinking of the cheapness, Lao Cai thought of the good things he had received, hurriedly walked aside, opened a mahogany box, and said earnestly, "Young Master, do you know what this is?"

Ankang walked over to take a look, and laughed uncontrollably, "Why did you collect these things? Are you making handicrafts?"

Xu Li took two steps, looked with his head, stepped forward and picked up a stone with many black spots, and weighed it in his hand. "What kind of stone is this? Why does it still have thorns?"

Lao Cai glanced at Ankang first, and saw that the young master had no intention of speaking, so he returned, "I heard from people on the beach that this is called a conch. I saw the novelty, so I collected this box with the local children. Only ten pennies."

"Boss, put this conch to your ear and listen, you can hear the sound of the sea."

Xu Li brought the conch to his ear, and he really heard a sound, "Is this the sound of the sea?"

Lao Cai said excitedly, "Yes. It's exactly the same as the voice I heard at the beach."

Ankang was not interested in conch, so he picked seaweed, kelp, scallop meat and sea fish, and took Huzi to the market to buy other things.

Not just anyone can enter the barracks.There is no way to hire a helper from an outside hotel, so I can only buy things and cook them myself.Pang Youde has already set the menu, and he will take the lead in the meals for this banquet.

After staying in the city for two days, Ankang bought three pigs, some chickens, and two pots of live fish.

Driving the car to stop at the entrance of Wei's Commercial Bank, Huzi looked at the chickens and pigs, and Ankang went in to talk to Xu Li.

As soon as he entered the store, Ankang was shocked.He thought to himself, brother Xu is really a profiteer.

Each conch is placed on a red silk cloth, and the price is marked with a wooden sign next to it.A strangely shaped large conch costs one tael of silver, an ordinary large conch costs seven hundred cash, divided by size, and the smallest one costs one hundred cash.

Next to the shelf of conch, there is also a big sign: Haishi.

Also named the conch.

The conch collected in a large box of ten Wen coins is worth several hundred taels after changing hands.This business is really lucrative.

There are quite a lot of people queuing up to buy sea stones in the store, looking at them with a frenzied look.Ankang was speechless in his heart, there are really a lot of rich people in the north.

Xu Li stood in the store, looking at the lively hall with a smile on his face.

He gently fanned his folding fan, feeling extraordinarily good.He told Lao Cai beside him, "Hurry up, the convoy will go to the south to get some sea stones back."

Seeing Ankang, Xu Li immediately greeted him, "Master."

"Brother Xu, Huzi and I are going back to the farm. Will you come with us?"

Xu Lidao, "I'm a little worried about the store that just opened this morning. I'll visit the old man and old lady again in two days."

Ankang said goodbye to Xu Li, left the store, and ran to Huzi.

Three pigs were tied to the side of the cart.People passing back and forth are watching the excitement. "It's strange, there are people tying pigs."

Huzi blushed and sat on the bullock cart, embarrassing the passers-by.

When Ankang got into the bullock cart, Huzi immediately twitched the cow's buttocks, and the cow immediately moved after eating the pain.

"Tiger, hurry up, the pig can't keep up!" Ankang turned his head, and saw that the rope tied to the pig was stretched straight, and the pig was dragged away.

"Hahaha." The onlookers on the side of the road burst into laughter.

Huzi glanced behind and had no choice but to let the cow slow down.He whispered to Ankang, "Young master, people are laughing at us for tying pigs."

"Jokes are jokes. Who wants to go down and chase pigs away? Leave them alone."

Driving all the way, looking back at the pig, the two were afraid that the pig would be strangled to death.

After walking slowly to Sunjiatun, Huzi drove the ox cart to the gate of Uncle Sun's courtyard.

Uncle Sun was squatting in the shade of a tree in the yard smoking a pipe, when he heard the movement, he got up and prepared to come out to have a look.

"Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun." Before Uncle Sun reached the gate of the yard, he heard Ankang and Huzi calling for someone.

"It's Battalion Commander An." Aunt Sun heard the movement in the room and walked out immediately.

"It's me, Aunt Sun." Ankang leaned into the yard and smiled at Uncle Sun, "Uncle Sun, can you give me a bowl of water?"

"The water pipes are enough, the water pipes are enough." Uncle Sun rushed up to meet them, looked at Ankang and Huzi sweating profusely, and asked, "Just came back from the city? Come and cool off under the shade of a tree."

"Isn't that right? We set off early in the morning. There is a pig tied to the back of the car, so we can't hurry up. The sun is here before we reach Sunjiatun." Huzi squatted under the shade of a tree and drank a bowl of water in one go.

"It's just right, eat it at my house, and Aunt Sun will give you scrambled eggs." Aunt Sun said with a smile.

The master and the servant took a rest, had lunch, and took Aunt Sun, Sun Xiaohui and two daughters-in-law of Sun Auntie's family back to the farm. These people were called by Aunt Sun to help with work.

Song Shitou and Jin Xiaosan saw a car full of things and people, and immediately came to pick it up.

The three big fat pigs I bought were driven into a separate pigsty, the fish were raised in the shade of the house, and the chicken coops were placed under the shade of trees.

Before coming here, Aunt Sun had already beaten Sun Xiaohui.Xiaohui cried and agreed, absolutely not thinking wildly.Aunt Sun also greeted her two daughters-in-law and told them to look after Sun Xiaohui.

She also had some calculations in her mind when she brought Xiaohui to the farm.Although there are disabled soldiers in the food battalion, the disabilities can be classified into different degrees.People like Jin Xiaosan who are blind in one eye don't interfere at all.What's more, everyone can read and write, and speaking out makes people look up to them.

After moving the things, Aunt Sun led the family members to greet Mrs. An and Mr. An.

"This is your eldest granddaughter?" Mrs. An smiled kindly, "You are so handsome."

Xiaohui blushed, and whispered, "Thank you, Madam, for your compliment."

Xu Li rushed back to the farm on the third day, and he brought a lot of congratulatory gifts.

As soon as she arrived at the farm, Xiao Xia saw several women drying vegetables.Can't help wondering, "Where do these women come from the farm?"

Xu Li opened the curtain of the carriage, looked around, and saw Xiaohui with her sleeves rolled up to her arms.

A pair of small arms are tender and white, very dazzling.

The carriage stopped at the door of the house, and Xu Li got out of the carriage.He stared at Xiaohui and took another look, until Xiaohui's mother noticed it, and stepped forward to block Xiaohui.

Xu Li immediately realized that he had been reckless, and hurriedly apologized, "This girl looks familiar, have we met somewhere?"

Xiaohui secretly smiled, and said, "Mom, last time I sprained my foot while walking, this young master sent me home."

Xiao Huiniang immediately said embarrassedly, "Thank you, young master, you are really a kind person." She almost took the kindhearted young master as a hooligan.

"Is the girl's feet all right?" Xu Li asked with concern.

Xiaohui was very beautiful in her heart, and said, "I can walk now, but it still hurts a little. My mother said that it takes [-] days to hurt my muscles and bones. I still need [-] days to recover."

Xu Li smiled, then turned and entered the room without speaking.

Second Aunt Xiaohui asked from the side, "Xiaohui, who is this person?"

"He, he is a shopkeeper. I heard that he manages the shop for Anying Zhang's family." This is what Brother Haicheng told her last time he inquired.

Xiao Huiniang and Xiaohui's second aunt looked at each other, and it turned out that this is the shopkeeper Xu that the mother-in-law said!

Having free time, Ankang took the time to wash his hair.He leaned against Old Madam An, who wiped his hair with a cloth, took a comb, and smoothed out the hair strand by strand.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" came the sound of a horn in the distance.

Ankang suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly, "Assemble." Everyone in the grain camp became nervous.

He ran into the house to find Xu Li, and said a few words quickly, "Brother Xu, take my grandparents and go to the city. Now, go!"

"Kang'er." Mrs. An chased after her, "What's the matter?"

"Grandma, it's a war! You go with Brother Xu first, and I'll see you after the war."

Seeing the seriousness on her grandson's face, the old lady touched Ankang's hand with trembling hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Grandma won't make trouble for you, grandma will leave now. Grandma is waiting for you in the city."
