Fishing boat?
Xie Ling recalled that it had been more than half a month since Jiang Wanyi and his friends went out to sea. It was time for them to come back, but she didn't know how many fish and shrimp they could catch.
But no matter how many, as long as they return safely, it's fine.
Xie Ling quickly asked: "How are the fishermen? Are they all safe?"
The soldier scratched his head. "Sir, I don't know either. Everyone is very happy, so there shouldn't be any problem, right? And from a distance, I saw that the deck was filled with fish and shrimps, piled up like a small mountain! There must be a lot!"
"That's good."
Xie Ling nodded and hurried to the beach.
The snow on the official road had been cleared, and Xie Ling arrived quickly on horseback.
The wind blew up the waves, blowing up a piece of residual snow.
From a distance, the place looked bustling with people and a sea of black people.
I don't know who leaked the news, but the people all knew that the fishing boats had returned, and they all rushed to the beach to watch.
Even behind Xie Ling, there were many people on their way.
Sinan is by the sea.
The return of fishing boats has always been a big event for the people.
In previous years, whenever a large fishing boat returned, the beach would be crowded with people.
Every household that had silver brought silver, and those that didn't brought rice wine and flour, and exchanged them with the fishermen on the boat for fresh fish and shrimp.
The three days when the fishing boats return are called "Sea Market". The beach is crowded with people, some playing, some selling snacks, it is very lively with people coming and going.
The main reason why common people go to the mirage is to have fun.
In ancient times, people’s lives were poor and there were few entertainment options, so they loved to join in any fun.
Xie Ling turned her head and saw that many people were carrying large and small bags. She pulled the reins and asked.
The common people all knew Xie Ling, and they all talked at once, vying to tell her about the customs of the sea market.
“I see.”
Xie Ling seemed to be thinking about something.
Originally, she was planning to exchange centimeters for seafood.
Since the people have this custom, just confiscate half of it and use the other half as they wish.
Xie Ling tied the horse far to one side, walked through the bustling crowd and headed towards the ship.
The big boat had already stopped, and several men shouted, "People down there, please help and set up a ladder so that the brothers can get down."
After he finished speaking, everyone joined the team to help. Some helped to hold it, some helped to tie it up, and everyone worked together, and the ladder was installed in a short while.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a woman came down from the boat holding her child.
Xie Ling raised her head and smiled brightly, "Mother!"
Jiang Wanyi had darkened a lot, and her clothes were thin. Her almond eyes sparkled. She looked up, a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she shouted in the fierce sea breeze: "Xie Ling, Jiang Wanyi, you have lived up to everyone's expectations."
"Come down quickly! Be careful, the ladder is very high."
Xie Ling hurried over to catch Jiang Wanyi's son.
After going out to sea, she found that the boy had become calmer, with a calmness in his eyes that ordinary children did not have. He whispered: "Thank you, sister."
After Jiang Wanyi came down, people started to come down the ladder behind him one after another.
I don’t know what they have been through, but each of them has become more resolute than when they first arrived.
The people held their breath and watched the fishermen come down one by one.
Until there were only two people left, Jiang Wanyi made a gesture under the boat.
The two men pulled down the baffle, and in an instant, piles of fish, shrimp and shellfish appeared intact before people's eyes.
There was almost no place to stand on the boat, as every spot was filled with fish. Looking around, all you could see was the high-raised sail.
The people's suppressed breathing was completely released as the baffles were removed. Cheers and applause sounded like surging waves.
The atmosphere was boiling.
This is the most fruitful year for fishing in Sinan.
Many people have surrounded the fishermen, asking if they can exchange food for fish and shrimp.
All the fishermen looked at Jiang Wanyi. Sun Dahai was afraid that she didn't understand, so he explained the customs of Sinan.
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.
Wanniang, has become their invisible leader?
Jiang Wanyi walked towards Xie Ling, "Sir, what do you think?"
Xie Ling expressed her plan.
Sun Dahai smiled and quickly responded to the people.
Shouted: "The sea market is open as usual!"
In an instant, the fishing boat was surrounded.
These are all the voices of people asking for goods.
"Give me ten kilograms of shrimp! I'll trade it for ten kilograms of rice!"
"My child has been craving for squid for a long time. My family wants five kilograms of squid!"
"Everyone, don't worry, come one by one!"
…
Xie Ling pulled Jiang Wanyi aside and said teasingly:
"Tell me, what happened on the road? How did you make those guys obey you?"
Before going out to sea, Xie Ling told Jiang Wanyi that some fishermen might not obey her, and asked her to be prepared.
Jiang Wanyi said nothing happened.
Xie Ling now really admires Jiang Wanyi.
How could such a weak woman with a child make a group of experienced fishermen submit to her?
Jiang Wanyi told everything that happened along the way.
At the beginning, there were indeed people who disagreed with her, after all, she was a woman.
But as the number of days she went to sea increased, her skills were gradually recognized.
The trip went smoothly because the fishing boat was large and Xie Ling had prepared a lot of vegetables and medicines to supplement the fishermen's functions. Everyone caught seafood that had not been caught in the past ten years.
Just as they were about to return, an accident happened. A storm swept the ship into the center of a whirlpool in the ocean.
Fortunately, Jiang Wanyi remained calm in the face of danger and steered the boat out, saving the lives of everyone on the boat.
From then on, these fishermen began to submit to Jiang Wanyi, follow her instructions, and caught about half of the seafood.
