Chapter 647: Will you accept the blue lobster?
Gou Yingya and Sheng Dalang also slowly approached this side.
Seeing that no one was chasing them away, the two of them became bolder and bolder, and gradually they were only four meters away from Song Chuman's seafood.
They both stretched their necks to look at the seafood.
The two were shocked to see that the barrels were full of seafood.
Did Song Chuman really return with a full load?
"Yes." Song Chuman said, "Uncle Sun, do you want this blue lobster?"
"Yes, of course." Sun Xiaohe said in surprise, "Blue lobsters are very rare. The last time Tianwailou received blue lobsters was fifteen years ago, according to the shopkeeper."
Yang Qingrui asked anxiously, "So, Manager Sun, you also know that this blue lobster is edible?"
Sun Xiaohe nodded. "Yes, it's edible. It's delicious. Fifteen years ago, the shopkeeper at the time presented one to the Emperor. I heard that the Emperor was very pleased with the taste after eating it and even rewarded the shopkeeper with a large sum of silver."
Yang Qingrui and the fishermen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gou Yingya whispered to her son, "Don't you also like to eat at Tianwailou? You've loved going there since you were a few years old. Have you heard about that incident?"
Sheng Dalang nodded. "I've heard about it. It caused quite a stir at the time. The villager who sold the blue lobster heard about it and went to find the owner of Tianwailou. He told the owner that he was the one who found the blue lobster and that he should be rewarded. He asked the owner to give him the entire reward from His Majesty."
Gou Yingya asked: "What happens next?"
Sheng Dalang continued, "Of course the shopkeeper wouldn't give it to him. A reward from His Majesty is a great honor. The shopkeeper told the man that he had found the blue lobster, but he had decided to present it to His Majesty. The villagers had simply given him the lobster, and without him offering it, they wouldn't have received the reward."
"The shopkeeper also said that after he presented it, he also told His Majesty the truth that it was a blue lobster that he had collected from a fisherman. But His Majesty listened and said nothing, and still said that he was meritorious for presenting the treasure."
"But the shopkeeper sees that the fisherman has had a hard time, so you can give him another ten taels of silver."
"Ten taels of silver is actually quite a lot, but that villager wasn't content. Especially after hearing some rumors, he always felt that the reward from His Majesty should belong to him."
"After pestering the shopkeeper for over a month, he realized he couldn't get what he wanted. He was so desperate that he stabbed the shopkeeper to vent his anger. He himself died under the panicked horse's hooves while trying to escape."
Gou Yingya sighed, "This is fate."
Sheng Dalang sighed and said, "So, mother, some things are yours. If they are not yours, you can't get them by force. You might even lose your life."
Gou Yingya rolled her eyes at her eldest son and said, "You really are getting more talkative as you get older."
She, Gou Yingya, has now fallen to the point where she is being scolded by her son.
Sheng Dalang was helpless.
If Gou Yingya doesn't listen to him as her son, she will probably end up in a bad situation.
Yang Qingli then gestured to Sun Xiaohe to look at the blue-lipped abalone, "Manager Sun, come and take a look at this abalone. They also have blue on them."
"What? Blue abalone?" Sun Xiaohe followed his gaze and saw blue-lipped abalone. He said excitedly, "It's actually blue-lipped abalone! There are all kinds of big and small. Oh my god, so many abalone, and blue-lipped abalone at that. This is so rare."
