Chapter 189 [You won’t go wrong if you follow me]
Going out to sea is not so tiring anymore, and I can go out to sea more often in the future.
The more Chen Huchang thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. He asked, "Miss Jiang, can all of these things you mentioned still be exchanged for fish in the future?"
Jiang Lili nodded: "Of course! Whatever you need, it's best to exchange it with fish!"
If you have to spend copper coins and silver to buy fish from fishermen, it is not as cost-effective as exchanging them directly for fruits, vegetables and grains.
These things can be wholesaled in modern times, but seafood that is not contaminated by nuclear weapons is different.
If these fishermen could provide her with a large supply, she would not need to spend her energy on forming a fishing fleet to catch fish for Xiaopang's family at this stage.
This kind of bartering is really profitable.
The fishermen also think so. Isn’t the purpose of fishing to exchange for copper coins and silver?
The food in Yeli Village is so delicious and you don’t have to spend money to buy it. It’s really a good deal.
As long as you don’t spend money directly, you won’t feel so bad.
Just as the fishermen were having dinner, Xiaopang and Jiang Lili said that the tents had arrived.
Jiang Lili carried a backpack and asked the pirate coolies disguised as He family members to go with her to the open space in Yeli Village to install the tents.
When Jiang Lili came back, the fishermen had already eaten and drunk their fill, and were just about to ask about the accommodation that Jiang Lili had just mentioned.
"Miss Jiang, you just said that accommodation can be provided? But how many fish do you need in exchange?"
Jiang Lili held up a finger and said, "Everyone who buys ten kilograms of fish will receive a bed in our special starry sky tent, along with a free breakfast."
When the fishermen heard that they had to trade 10 kilograms of fish for a bed in a tent, they were puzzled: "Huh? 10 kilograms of fish can be exchanged for such a sumptuous meal of coconut chicken, but we can only afford to stay in a tent?"
"If you want to see the environment, I can take you there after dinner."
Jiang Lili spoke frankly, "But think about it. You have to take turns keeping watch at sea, and you'll be tossed about by wind and waves. You also have to be wary of foreigners and pirates. But if you stay in the tents in Yeli Village, everyone can sleep peacefully without having to worry."
What Captain Chen feared most when going out to sea recently was encountering pirates. He heard that pirates were very rampant now and even robbed the tributes that the small countries in the South China Sea paid to the court.
These pirates were so bold to deal with the tribute ships from the imperial court, not to mention these small fishermen: "Is it true that there will be no pirates coming to rob your village?"
When Jiang Lili heard the other party mention pirates, she was confident: "Don't worry, it won't happen."
Because she had robbed the pirates in advance and captured them as laborers.
Jiang Lili added: "And we have people patrolling at night!"
It was this group of pirates who were on patrol.
"If you lose the fish, you can always catch more. You only have one life, everyone. You've already exhausted yourself from escaping the storm. Now that you have such a safe environment to rest, why not treat yourselves a little better?"
Jiang Lili's modern marketing brainwashing tactics come one after another. How can the fishermen withstand it?
The fishermen were really tired. Although it was morning, they had hardly slept the whole night before.
Under Jiang Lili's enthusiastic promotion, everyone chose to stay in the tent house.
Before checking in, Jiang Lili took the escorts and pirates on board their fishing boat to collect the meal and accommodation fees.
In order to conceal their tracks, Jiang Lili directly ordered the second-in-command of the pirates to drive the smaller pirate ship over.
Later, the fish handed over by the fishermen will be placed on the pirate ship, and Jiang Lili will feed them to Xiaopang in a backpack.
After a month of renovation, the shapes of the two pirate ships have changed greatly compared to before.
The large Dawn was no longer as eye-catching as before, and its color was changed to a dark brown, making it look very low-key. The sails of the three-masted sail also changed the pattern from a wolf to a pear blossom, making the whole ship look less gloomy.
The small pirate ship was changed into a ship type more suitable for sailing and running away.
The biggest contributor to the transformation and restoration of the two ships is undoubtedly the wife of Marquis Zhaoping, who is proficient in painting.
The fishermen followed their fellow villagers into the village to rest, and the two brothers of the Zhang family also followed them into the village.
Wen Xiaomei was playing and fighting with a group of little kids behind them, but in fact they were here on a reconnaissance mission sent by Jiang Lili.

The villagers of the nearby fishing village just watched as Jiang Lili attracted all the fishermen over. Most of the buns and steamed buns she brought were left unsold, so they left cursing.
As they were leaving, some villagers couldn't help but mutter, "Their coconut chicken hotpot smells so good."
The people around him were dissatisfied with his lack of ambition: "Are you really going to be reduced to eating out in the next village?"
The villager asked curiously, "Where did they get the chickens? Did they steal them from our village?"
Someone else said, "Didn't you hear them say it was a pheasant? They must have gone into the mountains. I saw the big green mango they brought back from the mountains. It was so big. They were willing to give it away, so they probably didn't need it."
After hearing this, Yang Yunzhao also said, "I heard from the elders in the village that only by going deep into the mountains and forests can you find large tracts of these wild fruit trees. I heard that they have been going into the mountains frequently to hunt recently."
The villagers are still a little scared when talking about the back mountain: "There are monkeys and other birds of prey rushing down the mountain near the back mountain. It's too dangerous. Anyway, if the monkeys come down the mountain, they will first cause trouble to our village."
"When there were many young people in the village, they would occasionally go hunting in the mountains. Now, at most, they just hang out around the edge of the mountain, picking some wild vegetables and fruits. If they're lucky, they might even come across pheasant eggs. Why are they going back into the mountains now?"
Yang Yunzhao speculated, "I heard that among the new villagers in their village, several families are from military families. They reorganized the villagers and moved into the mountains. They also helped the old villagers repair their houses and the main road at the entrance of the village."
She couldn't help but ask, "Why don't people from our village go into the mountains? There are so many good things there."
An old villager from a nearby fishing village shook his head. "There are plenty of good things, but you have to be alive to get them! It's dangerous in the mountains. We don't have any powerful martial artists like they do in our village. We can earn more money than them just by going out to sea once a month with the fleet."
That being said, the villagers were envious when they saw the pots of coconut chicken and the fruits being served to entertain the guests in Coconut Village.
Yang Yunzhao noticed the villagers' envy and said, "How about this? Next time they organize a group to go into the mountains, we will follow them as soon as we get the news. This way, we won't be in danger as easily."
When the villagers heard Yang Yunzhao's proposal, they couldn't help but praise her, saying, "Miss Yang is indeed a former court lady. She's incredibly clever! I'll go back and discuss this with the village chief and Yi Jiadalang."
