Farmer Fubo is open for business

Chapter 231 Fishing Village

"Chang'an, I'll take you to see the power of that firearm."

Song Sanshun happily took his little niece to an open field, where a large courtyard was built.

He took out a wooden box and placed five firearms more than one foot long in the box.

"Only five are made this time, and each one has been tested."

Song Sanshun took out a firearm and raised his hand to demonstrate to his niece: "Look at the aiming point on the tube, aim it at the target and pull the trigger."

boom! There was a loud bang.

A brick hanging on the courtyard wall was smashed.

Chang'an was so excited that he quickly picked up one and loaded copper bullets like his uncle.

aim! shooting!

boom! There was another loud noise, and Chang An's wrists were numbed by the recoil.

If he hadn't been strong enough to stabilize the backlash, he would have probably missed the target this time.

Then, she tried it several more times, and gradually became addicted.

"There aren't many bullets, don't run out." Song Sanshun reminded his niece.

Chang'an nodded quickly and put the firearm into the box.

Song Sanshun put away the box and said, "Firearm bullets are made of copper and are very expensive to use. Are you sure you want to continue doing this?"

"Make fifty more firearms with more fire bombs." Chang'an: "Let's divide these five firearms. I will keep two, uncle, you will also keep two, and give the other to Zhao Yuan."

Zhao Yuan originally wanted to go to Northern Xinjiang with his father, but his father left in a hurry and didn't take him with him. He was upset. He was really afraid that Zhao Yuan would go to the Beishan Guards alone, so he gave him a firearm to cheer him up.

Song Sanshun frowned: "To Zhao Yuan? What if the child accidentally gets angry?"

"No, Zhao Yuan is serious about his work. As long as you explain to him how powerful it is, he will definitely be cautious." Chang'an said.

Song Sanshun compromised: "Okay."

He picked up the box and said, "Don't you want to go see the sea? I will take you there in two days."

With the firearm, Song Sanshun felt more confident for no reason, and decided to take his niece and daughter to the beach.

If you encounter blind people blocking your way, you can protect yourself here.

"Really? Are my mother and the others going?" Chang'an asked.

Song Sanshun: "If they are willing, they can all go." Little Nian Gao is eight or nine months old, so it should be no problem to ride in a carriage for a day or two.

Chang'an cheered: "Great! I'll tell aunt and grandma right away."

It's September now, the weather is neither hot nor cold, just perfect for traveling.

In addition, crops are being harvested everywhere, and there are fewer bandits on the road.

So, three days later, Song Sanshun took his whole family out to see the sea.

When Zhang Yuyan learned about this, she also took her mother and child with her. Even Lu Jingzhou also went with his entourage.

At this time, the team suddenly increased to more than a hundred people and more than twenty carriages.

Chang'an and her aunt's little cousin were sitting in a carriage, while Mrs. Jiang was taking Changning and Xiao Shitou in a carriage.

Song Sanshun, Lu Jingzhou, Zhao Yuan, and Zhang Yao rode tall horses, and the journey was leisurely.

Two days later, the convoy arrived at a coastal town.

With the governor Lu Jingzhou here, magistrates from nearby counties rushed over to pay their respects, and even arranged a residence for everyone to rest here temporarily.

Chang'an and Changning were so excited that they took people to a nearby fishing village to buy fish, crabs, and shrimps to cook.

These fishermen are also very simple and enthusiastically tell them how to cook.

In fact, the fishermen on the seaside only need to boil the fish and crabs a little. As long as the shells are red, they will be taken out of the pot, regardless of whether the inside is cooked or not.

When some people picked up oysters or shells, they ate them raw and said they were sweet and plump. Chang'an was dumbfounded.

"Sister, how do they eat raw scallops?" Changning was also surprised and asked in a low voice: "Is it really fresh and sweet?"

Chang'an: "Maybe." Anyway, he would never eat raw shells.

"Is it because they don't have firewood that they don't cook it?" Chang Ning asked again.

Chang'an looked around and nodded: "That should be the reason."

The seaside is not as lush as the inland vegetation, and any grass and shrubs that grow there are cut off by nearby villagers. This also results in the seaside being completely bare, with not a single tree in sight in the distance.

A teenage girl ran over, holding a conch shell as big as a bowl in her hand, and asked timidly: "Miss, do you want this?"

Chang'an took a look at the little girl and saw that she was half-dressed, dark-faced, and barefoot, so he handed her a bunch of copper coins to buy the conch shell.

The little girl didn't accept the money, and said awkwardly: "No money, I give it to you."

"What's the use of this?" Changning took the conch and asked curiously.

The little girl pointed to her ears: "Put it on your ears and you can hear the sound of the sea breeze."

Chang Ning followed the instructions and put the conch on his ears, and sure enough he heard a thin whistling sound.

"Sure enough, I can hear the sound." Chang Ning was very happy and gave the little girl a bunch of copper coins: "This is for you, take it."

The little girl smiled and took the copper coin: "Thank you, Miss."

She thanked her politely and carefully stuffed the money into her tattered clothes.

Chang'an asked: "What's your name? Do you live nearby?"

"My name is Hai Mei, and I live in the fishing village next to her." Hai Mei turned around and pointed in one direction.

Chang'an looked over there and saw two or three low sheds in the distance.

I say it's a shed because it's not really a house at all.

The low wall made of gravel is covered with some branches, and the branches are also pressed with stone slabs, probably to prevent the wind from blowing the roof of the branches over.

There were one or two broken fishing boats in front of the small shed, with their nets drying out. Several women were sitting there, seemingly repairing the fishing nets.

Chang'an and his group walked around the beach, and Haimei followed them and introduced them to the sea.

"Miss, do you want to catch the sea? I know a place where you can find oysters and shells, and I can take you to pick them." Hai Mei looked at Chang'an with bright eyes.

Chang'an smiled: "Not today, let's try another day."

The little girl was not discouraged and kept following Chang An's group, telling interesting stories about her father's fishing.

Chang'an said: "If your father catches fresh fish and crabs, he can send them directly to the town. We will live there temporarily for a while. We need a lot of catch every day."

There were more than a hundred people in his party. Although he brought rice and food, he still had to buy some fish to try.

"Okay, when my dad comes back from fishing, I will definitely deliver the fish!" Hai Mei finally achieved her goal and ran home happily to tell her grandma.

The master and servants of Chang'an wandered around the beach before returning to the town, and met Lu Jingzhou head-on.

He was talking to Zhao Yuan when he saw Chang'an and walked slowly over.

"Chang'an, the people here are fierce, you should bring more people with you when you go out." Lu Jingzhou said softly.

Chang'an nodded: "I didn't go far, I just walked around nearby."

There was a firearm in the bag he was carrying, and with Myolie Li and two guards around him, he was not afraid of dozens of people.

Lu Jingzhou: "If you want to go somewhere, I will take you with me tomorrow. There are two large fishing boats in the town that we can borrow." (End of Chapter)
