Chapter 310 Liar Monthly Pass)(1/2)
Not only this well, but also all the wells in Wuling Mountain Tianzun Temple, the water in them is sweet.
However, because Tianzun Temple is not open to the public, people who come here to pay homage cannot enter at all. They can only pay homage from a distance or play in the valley before leaving, so they don't know.
I just thought that there was only one sweet water well in Sanjing Village, so the water from this well was so popular.
To be honest, the water in the creeks and pools in the valley is actually quite sweet.
It's just that these people have preconceptions when playing and don't dare to try it.
Furthermore, there are fish, shrimps, and water plants in the creeks and pools. Many people will not drink unless they are thirsty.
Jiayin and the others followed the village chief back to his home.
The village chief of Mitsui Village, whose surname is Yu Fugui, is the patriarch of the Yu family, the largest family in Mitsui Village.
Although this Mitsui Village is very old, there is not only one surname or clan in the village.
But the surnames are very messy, and there are all kinds of surnames. They all migrated here many years ago. At the beginning, there were families with different surnames, and then more slowly came, and those with the same surname got together and even joined the clan.
.
This is the case for the Yu family. Because Lian Zong has become the largest family in the village and has a greater say, Yu Fugui, the patriarch, has become the village chief of Sanjing Village.
Because of the sweet-tasting well water, Mitsui Village has become the largest village in the area. In addition, you can hunt on one side and go fishing on the other side.
People with both skills will gather here.
And the so-called hunting, of course, does not mean hunting in a valley with four seasons.
Even if the Taoist priests of Tianzun Temple did not say anything, they all believed that the valley belonged to Tianzun Temple, so they did not dare to enter rashly for fear of bumping into Tianzun Temple.
Even though there is no longer a state teacher and it is not a state religion, it still retains its prestige. Especially these villages that have been at the foot of the mountain for hundreds of years are even more respected by them.
The reason why they think that well water prolongs life may be because they are right next to the Tianzun Temple.
Otherwise, why is it such a coincidence? The well closest to the mountain is sweet?
It can be said that they have touched the truth invisibly.
Village Chief Yu led a group of people into his yard. His wife and son came out when they heard the noise.
Yu Fugui introduced them: "This is the Yang family of Zhuojing. This is my eldest son Yu Gensheng, my second son Yu Genwang, and my third son Yu Genfa.
These are the brothers and sisters of the Fang family. Old lady, go boil some water and make tea for the guests."
After saying that, he said to everyone: "Everyone, sit down wherever you want. Brother Zhiwen just said that he wants to sell some seafood. What are your requirements? Do you want fresh or dried?"
Because in the past, it was usually Fang Zhiwen who came forward to deal with things like this. After that, every time this kind of thing happened, the group of them would default to Fang Zhiwen.
Village Chief Yu also thought that Fang Zhiwen was the eldest brother in their group, so he naturally started talking to him.
They had already discussed it before, so Fang Zhiwen said directly: "We want both fresh and dry goods. The dry goods are best those that are rare and uncommon. We will go back and give them as souvenirs. The fresh ones we have these days
You can eat anything as long as it’s delicious.”
Yu Fugui nodded, "Okay, I'll let my sons make arrangements. As long as there is something in the village, they can send it over, so that you don't have to run around one by one."
Fang Zhiwen stood up and thanked him: "Uncle Lao, the village chief, we also want to buy some specialties here. I wonder if there is anything else here that is not found elsewhere besides seafood?"
Yu Fugui's eyes lit up and he said: "We also have corals and pearls here, which are all fished out in specific sea areas. Pearls come in gold and pink, which are rarer than ordinary white and black."
Jiayin's eyes also lit up when he heard the words, golden pearls! None of them in the Dragon Palace have them! I don't know what they are like, are they shiny?
Fang Zhiwen felt a little burning on his back, and when he turned around, he saw Jiayin's shining eyes. Come on, sister Jiayin heard the golden pearl and went up.
Everyone in the Fang family knows that Jiayin likes shiny and golden things. It doesn’t have to be valuable, it must be bright. Whenever she sees it, she will be very excited. If you give it to her, she will be extremely happy. She is very easy to coax.
Of course, it is rare for such shiny and golden things to be worthless. If you don’t understand better, you will think that Jiayin is greedy for money. In fact, she just likes it. If you give it to her, she will take it. If you don’t give it, don’t force it.
So he said to the village chief: "Uncle village chief, how do you sell golden pearls? Can you let me wait and see? We haven't seen golden pearls yet."
The other Fang brothers also knew that this was for Jiayin, and they had no objection. They had a lot of money, so they should be able to buy it.
Yu Fugui didn't expect that they really wanted it. He thought he was just asking. After all, they didn't look like people who would buy these luxury goods. Although they had a good temperament, they didn't look like they were from a big family. He still had this kind of discernment.
.
He nodded and replied: "Of course, I have two here. I'll go get them right away."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the house.
At this time, the village chief's wife came out with a teapot on a tray, placed it on the stone table in the yard, and placed the upside-down teacups in front of them one by one. She wanted to help pour the tea, but Fang Zhiwen and the others stopped them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Yang. We can just do it ourselves." After saying that, he stood up and poured the water himself.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yang smiled and felt that these young people were really polite and polite, and they were all tall and tall. This meant that she did not have a daughter, otherwise she would have to leave one as her son-in-law...
Yu Fugui came out of the house with a wooden box, put it on the table, and said: "To tell you the truth, I only have two of these golden pearls. They were from a seashell that my second son accidentally caught.
, others are mostly pink and black.”
After a pause, he added: "I'm not trying to raise the price. After all, it's not available anywhere else. We don't know what the price is, so we'll just keep it as a rare treasure. Take a look first. If you want it, it'll be a hundred."
Two for one, forget it if you don’t like it.”
They have no objection to the good news at all. Although one hundred taels is quite expensive, it is acceptable.
Only Yang Huiyun, who had just joined, was astonished. One bead costs one hundred taels, which is too expensive!
Seeing this, Yu Fugui knew in his heart that he was really willing to buy it, so he stopped talking nonsense and opened the box and turned to a few people.
He's not afraid of them trying to rob him. It's his own territory here, how can he let others escape?
Jiayin and others all looked into the box, and saw a piece of white cloth in the box, with two pearls the size of corn kernels placed on it. They were said to be gold, but in fact the color was not dark, it was a light gold.
, it looks very beautiful against the white fabric!
Although I am a little disappointed that they are not golden in color, the two beads are round and bright enough. Especially when illuminated by the sun, the lustrous pearlescent light is even more attractive.
Jiayin decided directly, "I want these two beads. Here are two hundred taels."
After saying that, he took out a two hundred tael of silver note and handed it to Yu Fugui.
This operation not only shocked Yu Fugui's family, but also everyone in the Fang family was shocked. Unexpectedly, Jiayin gave money directly.
They want to take another look, what if they can negotiate on the price?
Fang Zhiwen and Fang Zhiyuan helplessly held their foreheads, forget it, as long as Sister Jiayin likes it.
When Fang Zhigang saw that the bead had been bought, he picked it up and looked at it, but he didn't realize why it was worth two hundred taels.
Then he put it back in the box and handed it to Jiayin together with the box.
Jiayin took out the beads directly and pushed the box back, "No need for this, it takes up space."
He directly put the beads into the small purse tied around his waist. The purse was actually a storage bag, and the area inside was not large because of its appearance.
It's the best looking, and it's hung outside by good news.
At this time, the three sons of the Yu family came back, followed by several villagers, who introduced them to both parties.
Then he said: "Because a batch of seafood was confiscated a few days ago, they only have some dry goods left at home, which are relatively expensive. There are some fresh ones, which are all obtained from the sea. If you don't need much, you can use them as a pick-up."
, sent to you."
Fang Zhiwen looked at his brothers and Jiayin, and when he saw them nodding, he replied: "Okay, I don't know what the so-called expensive thing is?"
Yu Genwang said: "They are all sea cucumber, fish maw, shark's fin, etc. The ordinary dried fish, shrimp, dried kelp and so on are gone."
Fang Zhiwen nodded, "How many are these?"
Yu Genwang was stunned, "How much can you ask for? If it's too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it away, right?"
At this time, it was Jiayin's turn to appear. She was sending it back in the name of Qingzhu. Others didn't know how much they could take away, but she represented Qingzhu.
"You can buy up to five hundred catties. Any more will be difficult."
In fact, they can take away no matter how much they have, but it really can't be too outrageous. They can't just disappear into thin air. At least they have to leave the village.
Everyone in Mitsui Village was shocked when they heard that they wanted so much!
You must know that dry food has no water content and does not account for any weight. Five hundred kilograms is a huge pile.
Yu Fugui looked at Fang Zhiwen, "Can you really eat five hundred catties?"
Fang Zhiwen nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we also have a shop at home. In addition to giving away things, we can also sell them in the shop."
The villagers who had just followed Yu Genwang received a positive answer and rushed home to sort out their supplies.
Taking advantage of this period of time, they chatted with Yu Fugui again and inquired about the situation here.
Fang Zhiwen said: "Uncle Village Chief, we want to go to the Four Seasons Valley to see it. I wonder if there are any taboos after entering? Can we go in directly? Do we want to tell the Tianzun Temple?"
Village Chief Yu shook his head, "That's not necessary. Although this Four Seasons Valley is the territory of Tianzun Temple, Tianzun Temple will not prohibit others from entering.
In the past years, many people came here because of its reputation, but in recent years there have been fewer people. I heard that there was a drought in the north and the treasury was tight and taxes increased, so no one was in the mood to go out and have fun."
Fang Zhiwen and others frowned at the same time. Fang Zhigang said: "Who said this? We are from the north. Our home is in Nanyue County, not far from the capital. There was no drought. That was several years ago.
It’s a matter of fact. At that time, taxes were not increased but were reduced or reduced.”
Village Chief Yu was stunned and asked quickly: "Is this true? There was no disaster?"
Jiayin and the others nodded affirmatively.
