"Village Chief Xiao has misunderstood," Lichun saw them act like this and immediately understood, and quickly said, "We are the people of Rong Dynasty, not those bandits."

Village Chief Xiao did not let down his guard, and he and the two women who followed him retreated silently, "We are not going to sell this dried goods, you guys should leave quickly!"

Lichun, "How can you go back on your words, old man? We were talking fine before. Besides, look at the three of us. How can we be like those evil people who do all kinds of evil?"

Someone muttered, "A bad guy doesn't have a bad face. Besides, I heard that those bandits are the most cunning."

Before the two girls could retort, Jin Qianqian said, "If that's the case, then we won't go into the village. Sorry for disturbing you."

It's good to be on guard, Jin Qianqian can understand that.

When the people in Zhaoyu Village saw Jin Qianqian really turn around and leave, they felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that they had misunderstood the other party.

"Village Chief, look at this..."

Who wouldn't want to make money? But before they could finish their words, a dozen men with knives appeared in front of them.

"Madam," Mingzhong and the others came running over quickly, and only when they saw that Madam was still standing here in good health did they quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, let's go back!"

"Sir, please wait a moment," seeing these people really walking out, Village Chief Xiao quickly chased after them.

Looking at so many men with knives, he was frightened, but he also understood that these people were not the legendary bandits.

It's broad daylight, those bandits in the sewers wouldn't dare to act like this.

Jin Qianqian stopped and turned to look at him, "Village Chief Xiao, what else is there?"

Xiao Cunshan smiled awkwardly, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it was all misunderstanding before, it's not that we were scared by those bandits before.

Forget that those people look down on our small fishing village.”

As for their fishing village, the bandits really looked down upon it. They went there for food and gold and silver. How could the bandits, who had been living in the sea for a long time, look down upon the little seafood from their fishing village?

Besides, their village doesn’t even have arable land, and they rely on exchanging these seafood for food. It would be a complete waste of effort to come to their village.

After figuring this out, Village Chief Xiao wanted to slap himself hard, "Didn't the prefect send someone down to spread the word to alert the people along the coast? We are just in case. I hope you will forgive me."

Jin Qianqian knew that Gu Wenheng had people do publicity everywhere. Even if it was not possible to mobilize every citizen, various explanations had been given so that everyone could have countermeasures when facing bandits.

"I understand. I wanted to bring people into the village before because I had my own concerns."

After hearing this, the villagers of Zhaoyu Village secretly lowered their heads. They were on guard against each other, and the other side was also on guard against them.

"Yes, yes, it's all because of these damned bandits who have made people unable to live in peace.

It's not that the autumn harvest is coming soon, we are also afraid that the other side will send someone to step in and investigate us."

Village Chief Xiao laughed and said, "Now that our misunderstanding has been resolved, I wonder if the distinguished guests are still willing to accept seafood. I will definitely ask them to bring you the best products."

Jin Qianqian nodded to Liqiu, who immediately smiled and said, "That's great. Thank you, Village Chief Xiao."

Seeing that this business could be done, the people in Zhaoyu Village smiled and began to happily introduce to them what useful goods the village had.

"Madam, would you like to go inside and rest for a while?" Village Chief Xiao knew that the person in front of him was the real boss, and these people had called this young lady "Madam" before, so he did not dare to neglect her.

Jin Qianqian looked at the sea in the distance and said, "It's okay, just stand here and enjoy the view.

I see that the village has a good harvest of seafood, it seems that the villagers are good at fishing. "

Village Chief Xiao stroked his beard and smiled, "We fishermen rely on the weather for our livelihood. If we are lucky, we can return with a full load, but if we are unlucky, sometimes we can't even get a whiff of fish.

It was also in the past two years that the children in the village worked hard to train their swimming skills in order to find a way to make a living for their families, and then rushed to the distant sea to make a living. Naturally, they gained more than other villages.

But you also know that these guys are risking their lives. Those merchants who come to purchase the goods will naturally want to lower the price when they see that we have a large quantity.

Alas, if they hadn’t come to collect the goods at a lower price each time, we wouldn’t have set some aside to sell separately.”

Jin Qianqian, "If you sell seafood to us now, will there be a conflict with them?"

Village Chief Xiao was silent for a moment, then he said, "To be honest, we had quantity requirements when placing orders with them before, so we will naturally handle the extra quantity ourselves.

But the area around Lucheng is all owned by these people, so we can’t sell our products in the city. We can only find some sales channels for the villagers when we encounter tourists occasionally.

This does not conflict with their interests, so you don’t have to worry about them causing trouble.”

Jin Qianqian was not afraid of the other party causing trouble. If they really came to her door, she might be able to teach them a lesson.

It's okay to just monopolize, but it's their fault that they exploit the people.

But what interested her most now was something else. "From what you said, it seems that the people in your village are all good at swimming?"

Village Chief Xiao, "It's all OK. After all, this is a skill for eating, so naturally you have to put in more effort."

"Your village doesn't look very big, how many people are there?"

Village Chief Xiao looked at her defensively again, "I wonder why you ask this?"

"Why? Can't you just ask?"

Village Chief Xiao knew that he had overreacted. "That's not the case. It's just that few people would ask for such details."

Jin Qianqian, "To be honest, I came here to find some fishermen who are good at swimming..."

"I'm afraid that won't work," Village Chief Xiao refused without even asking the other party's reason. "Everyone in this village, young and old, is counting on these young guys to take care of them."

That is the treasure of the village. No matter what this nobleman wants to do with them, he will not agree.

Jin Qianqian naturally did not force it, and began to look around the small village in front of her, "Your place is quite good, with so many catches, life will slowly get better in the future."

"Thank you for your good wishes," Village Chief Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he did not continue this topic.

Li Qiu, who brought Ming En into the village to collect seafood, began to chat with the lady who sorted the seafood. "These are really top-quality products. It seems that you have handled them carefully."

The old lady looked very proud and said, "You have come to the right place. Among the surrounding villages, our village has the freshest seafood.

We ate the ones that were not so fresh ourselves. Look at these dried abalones. They are all evenly sized. It took a lot of effort to sort them out.”
