Chapter 521 Try Your Luck
The young boy's heart began to beat at this moment, but when he turned to look at the person standing next to Ran Qingxuan and looking at him, all his emotions were drowned in the deepest part of his heart.
In addition to envy for the two, there was a different emotion in Guo Zhanxi's eyes.
It’s not that he had any improper thoughts about Ran Qingxuan, but he was thinking, if he could also find a wife as unique as Ran Qingxuan, how colorful his life would be…
His thoughts were fleeting, and when he looked at the crowd again, the two had already left.
Such a little episode only made Ran Qingxuan happy, but when the two found the dock, they asked around and found that no one knew Yang Shuo.
"Could this person have left?"
Gu Yanchen stood beside the carriage with her, and was a little confused for a moment.
"Probably not. If you are sent to this place, you can't leave unless the emperor grants you a special pardon."
"Where can this person go?"
Ran Qingxuan even thought of a bad outcome...
"Why don't we go to the warehouse first? The kids are coming soon, and we have to fix up the house."
"There are not many materials left. We need to replenish them."
Not only that, every household now uses old furniture, and the beds creak when you lie on them and turn over even slightly.
If you don't know, you might wonder what they are doing in the middle of the night...
"Okay, let's see after we get over there."
The warehouses near the dock are all managed in a unified manner, and you can enter by simply showing the token given after renting the warehouse.
The warehouses were of different sizes, and Gu Yanchen rented the largest one. Since it was at the innermost, the two drove the carriage inside for a few more minutes.
Ran Qingxuan decided to prepare everything this time. After all, she would be busy later and might not have time to go to the warehouse.
With this in mind, everything from materials for building a house to tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and bowls were rushing out like they were free.
Gu Yanchen was still guarding the door, alert to anyone approaching and trying to prevent them from discovering his young wife's secret.
Considering that it was inconvenient to get up at night to add firewood to the kang, Ran Qingxuan bought dozens of stoves for winter use.
This thing is made of iron, so even if someone sees it, it's easy to explain.
After all, most of the villagers in Yongfeng Village have lived in the local area all their lives, so they would not be suspicious if they were told that it was a popular heating tool in the foreign countries.
Thinking that the people of Northern Qi either slept on heated kangs or hard wooden beds, she bought ready-made beds and soft mattresses from the space.
As long as you assemble the bed, put the mattress and cover it with bedding, you will sleep well and feel refreshed.
The people who manage the warehouse at the dock won’t care what you put inside, but if the things pulled in are not proportional to the things taken out, it would be bad if someone noticed.
Feeling that it was almost time, Ran Qingxuan stopped. To be on the safe side, the two decided to go outside and find someone to transport them.
After going out and looking at the noisy dock with people coming and going, Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but complain: "I don't know where Yang Shuo is. He is said to be at the dock. Where can we find him?"
Just as Gu Yanchen was about to respond, a fisherman who was gathering his fishing nets nearby stood up and looked at the two of them.
"The person you are looking for is called Yang Shuo?"
The two looked at each other, and Ran Qingxuan took two steps forward and greeted politely.
"Hello uncle, do you also know someone named Yang Shuo?"
The middle-aged man forced a smile on his tanned face and jokingly said, "I do know him, but I don't know if he's the person you're looking for."
"Then where does the Yang Shuo you know live? Anyway, we can't find him now. Let's go and take a look. We may be talking about the same person."
Ran Qingxuan didn't think it mattered. He had to look for it somewhere anyway, so he might as well try his luck.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man motioned for the two to wait.
"I just happened to be packing up to go home. I'll show you the way and then I'll go back."
"That's great, but I'm afraid it's taking up your time."
The middle-aged man waved his hand: "What are you talking about, girl? It's on the way anyway."
Ran Qingxuan saw him pack up the fishing nets, turn around and pick up the fish basket on the boat to dump it into the sea. He took a quick look and immediately stopped him.
"Uncle, why are all the fish you worked so hard to catch here?"
"These are all things no one wants. If we don't sell them, they will stink if we keep them."
When Ran Qingxuan heard this, she immediately became anxious. She saw everything in the basket. In addition to the mantis shrimps as long as arms, there were also many sea urchins, and even many swimming crabs and slightly smaller lobsters.
"Please don't fall, sell these to me!"
The middle-aged man saw that she was not dressed like an ordinary farmer and thought she was a rich lady from some wealthy family. After thinking it over, he decided to tell the truth.
"Girl, these things are hard and prickly, and this, this long one we usually throw away when we catch it."
The man was talking about mantis shrimp. When Ran Qingxuan heard it, he immediately felt that they were wasting food.
Although the mantis shrimp does not look very good, it has a lot of meat on its thick arms and is very high in calcium, so it tastes good even if steamed.
Not only that, there are also sea urchins that are bigger than fists. When Ran Qingxuan thought of the sweet taste, he almost drooled.
There are also dozens of swimming crabs bigger than the palm of your hand. You can take them home, coat them with flour, fry them, and then put them back into the pan to make spicy dishes. They are so delicious.
Seeing that Ranran Qingxuan's eyes were wide open, the middle-aged man took out a net bag and put all the things in it for her.
"These things are not valuable, if the girl likes them, take them all!"
Gu Yanchen had never eaten these with shells, but seeing that Ran Qingxuan liked them, he reached out to take them and handed them to the man in front of him with one or two taels of silver.
The middle-aged man thought he had been taken advantage of today, but he instinctively refused the money they offered.
"You've worked so hard to go out to sea and you have to lead us. And it just so happens that what you caught are all things I like. Isn't this fate?"
Ran Qingxuan was extremely beautiful and spoke pleasantly. The middle-aged man grinned and took the money.
"Miss, what you said is very true. Meeting is fate. I will lead the way for you right now!"
As they walked, the two learned from their conversation that the man who led them was named Jin, and the Yang Shuo he knew lived in the fishing village next to them.
The fishermen around the pier basically live on the outskirts of the beach. Along the way, the village they saw was completely different from Yongfeng Village.
Various kinds of fish were drying on the fences of every household along the way, and many people were sitting in the yard repairing broken fishing nets.
Live by the mountain, live by the mountain; live by the sea, live by the sea. There is no arable land by the sea, so fishermen either sell the fish they catch or keep it for themselves.
Along the way, Ran Qingxuan saw mostly fish, and there were basically no fish with shells.
Uncle Jin sat in the front room of the carriage and gave directions to the two men. After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at a village.
"The one on the right is our Jinsha Village. The one called Yang Shuo lives in Bai Village on the left. There aren't many people with the same surname outside their village. You should be able to find him if you go in and ask."
Ran Qingxuan thanked him, said goodbye to Uncle Jin, and then drove the carriage into Bai Village with Gu Yanchen.
It's not lunch time yet, and many women are sitting in the yard cleaning fish...
