Chapter 1035 Harmonious Fishing Village

The group arrived at the entrance of the fishing village, where a guard team of about a hundred people was patrolling.

Recently, there have been many rumors circulating in the town about the fishing village, and many people with illusions have come to wander around, only to be driven away by the guards.

The shipyard, in particular, is a restricted area, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Lin Yuesha once posted notices in the surrounding towns and villages, seeking talented people to join. As long as they had the ability and good character, the fishing village would welcome them.

Recently, the number of applicants has been increasing, and the guard team is responsible for conducting initial assessments of the applicants, followed by progressively more selective assessments.

To get a job in the fishing village, you have to overcome four or five hurdles.

The reputation of the fishing village spread, attracting talented people to join. Among them, what surprised Lin Yuesha the most was a man who was skilled at controlling birds.

"Young mistress, this man's name is Sun Wu, and he lives in the countryside around Yingcheng."

The guard captain explained to Lin Yuesha that Sun Wu hadn't come on his own; rather, his neighbor had come to the fishing village to explain the situation and ask the villagers to take Sun Wu away.

What's going on?

Lin Yuesha started the self-recommendation mode, but overlooked the matter of the recommender. If a middleman successfully recommends someone, Lin Yuesha can consider giving the middleman a reward.

It's easy to find people who can do manual labor, but it's rare to find people with real skills.

“Sun Tzu’s neighbor came to the fishing village to recommend Sun Tzu, not for the purpose of rewarding him.”

The junior leader was both amused and exasperated, and simply explained the reason.

Because Sun Tzu had the ability to control birds, there were often a hundred or so birds circling around his house.

These birds have no set schedule; they arrive before dawn, disturbing the neighbors' sleep and causing the whole family a lot of resentment.

Not only were the neighbors complaining, but the villagers were also suffering greatly.

With so many birds, the yard was covered in bird droppings. When they complained, these intelligent birds would pull them onto their heads.

Sun Tzu also managed the order of the birds, but with so many birds, there were bound to be some of bad character, just like there are petty thieves among people who steal the grain left by the villagers in the kitchen.

Sun Wu paid compensation and apologized, which was a good attitude; otherwise, the villagers would have long since turned against him.

Even so, the villagers were still badly tormented.

“Sun Tzu was capable, and the villagers trusted him greatly.”

We're all human, but some people are very kind.

Lin Yuesha sighed, thinking that the thought of a hundred or so birds crammed together in one place was enough to trigger her trypophobia.

“If villagers went to the market and there was an emergency at home, Sun Tzu would send a bird to deliver the message. If the distance was not far, he also had a talking parrot.”

The guards were very interested in the parrot, which was so intelligent that it looked down on them. Every time someone teased the parrot, they were called ugly. Despite this, everyone still enjoyed it.

"Ha ha."

The junior leader imitated her so vividly that he made Lin Yuesha laugh.

While Sun Wu was at the market, the villagers held a village meeting. They pooled their money, each contributing their own funds, and selected a fast-moving person to recommend to the fishing village.

“Sun Wu’s neighbor spoke of it in a very mysterious way, but when we sent people over, we found that the neighbor was not lying.”

Such a capable person, of course, had to be brought to the fishing village. The fishing village covered a large area, and they worked through the night to build a house for Sun Wu in a remote place, creating a large courtyard and even building a birdcage.

The fishing village was extremely sincere, and Sun Wu did not want to leave. Under the unanimous "persuasion" of the villagers, Sun Wu agreed.

It is said that on the day Sun Tzu set off for the fishing village, the villagers shed tears of reluctance.

"She's probably crying tears of joy!"

With Sun Tzu's use of birds, sending messages to the prefectural city became much easier.

"You've worked hard, well done! We'll have an extra dish tonight!"

Lin Yuesha made the promise casually.

"Could we add the pickled cabbage and pork stew made by Sister-in-law Tian?"

The leader of the small gang sucked in his saliva, taking advantage of the situation.

Now, in the fishing village, it's not just Sister Tian who has excellent cooking skills; everyone has their own unique specialty. However, her pickled cabbage and braised pork is absolutely divine, even the King of Luo praised it highly.

"Okay, but I couldn't find any fresh pork belly today."

If we can't make it today, Lin Yuesha will send people to make a big purchase early tomorrow morning to prepare a good celebration.

The group arrived at the fishing village just in time for lunch, and the village began its second meal.

Xie Guangping and Qian looked around, hardly believing their eyes.

The Xie family lived in a coastal city in the south. They had been to the seaside before and found that the fishermen in the fishing village did not live a very good life. Although they relied on the sea for their livelihood, the fish they caught were cheap and could not be transported far. They also had to repair their fishing boats frequently and just barely made ends meet all year round.

Moreover, no crops grow around the fishing village, so if they want to eat vegetables, they have to go to the city to buy them.

In the fishing village of Yingcheng, they were surprised to find farmland.

"Not only are there fields, but also greenhouses that have been built."

Lin Yuesha acted as a guide for the Xie family, introducing them to the fishing village.

The fishing village has a reservoir, and when the weather is nice, someone will deliver spring water. However, the craftsmen are reluctant to use the spring water for washing; they use it to make tea.

On one side of the fishing village, in an area filled with black soil, vegetables and crops are grown. Except for grain, which cannot be self-sufficient, there is no shortage of eggs, duck eggs, and vegetables.

The ducks by the sea eat fish and shrimp, and the duck eggs they lay are pickled into salted duck eggs. The yolks are shiny and delicious.

The craftsmen ate well and had the energy to work.

When it was lunchtime, everyone gathered in the canteen to wait for their food. Qian looked around and spotted a woman with birthmarks all over her face. The woman stood tall and chatted happily with the people around her, showing no sign of inferiority.

"Young Madam, you're finally back!"

When the craftsmen saw Lin Yuesha, they all came forward to greet her, laughing and complaining, "Since you're not back, Sister Tian doesn't make braised pork, and we're craving it!"

"Eat, eat, eat! All I can think about is food!"

Instead of looking distressed, Zhao smiled broadly. "Hurry up and wash your hands. Don't cut in line!"

The craftsmen worked in an orderly fashion, their faces beaming with enthusiasm.

After the initial surprise, the villagers quickly accepted Zhao's marriage to Tian Dali. They believed that marriage and having children were a person's freedom, and that less gossip and more goodwill would make a difference in the village.

Since it was the Xie family's first time visiting the fishing village, the villagers who were ahead of them in line voluntarily gave way and allowed the Xie family to get their food first.

Xie Guangping felt embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but then he heard Zhao say, "Brother, don't be so polite. All newcomers in our fishing village get a chance to be treated well."

Today's menu is plentiful, consisting of four dishes and a soup. The dishes include meat, eggs, and fish. For those who like spicy food, there is also a special chopped chili sauce and side dishes to choose from.

Not only that, seasonal fruits such as watermelons, apples, and pears were packed directly into baskets.

When Zhao saw the little rabbit, she patiently asked it what it liked to eat and prepared a special meal for it that evening.

Zhao liked rabbits and gave one a small plate of delicate snacks.

"Little bunny, the snacks are delicious!"

Tian Dali's nephew, Tian Wazi, was the first to show kindness to Xiaotu and took good care of this little sister.
