Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

Chapter 109 The tide has risen again, what sea can we catch?

"Grandma, what do you think of Uncle Qin?" Xu Ning thought that if Uncle Qin did a good job in the future, he would give him the task of transporting seafood.

"Your Uncle Qin is capable of doing the job, but if it comes to transporting the goods to the capital, I don't think he can do it." Not to mention that the capital is full of all kinds of people, and with such a long distance, many things would happen on the way. With Uncle Qin's ability, Old Lady Xu felt that he was not capable of this task.

After Mrs. Xu’s explanation, Xu Ning also felt that the situation was a little shaky.

But no matter what, the fact that Xu Ning did not intend to do business himself still made Old Mrs. Xu feel more at ease.

Xu Ning began to ponder, who could transport seafood to the capital safely and successfully make a name for themselves?

After much thought, there is only one person who is most suitable.

But I don't know if she is willing to do this.

The grandparents and grandchildren found a remote place, collected the seafood they found on the island, and then strolled around the beach before returning to the village chief's house in Xianyu Village.

As soon as Xu Ning walked into the yard, Qin Xianglan came up to him, "Where have you been? Why haven't I seen you all day?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Ning was in a hurry to go back to his room to write a letter and didn't want to deal with her.

"I want to play with you. You've never been to the beach to catch seafood, right? I can take you with me. I tell you, picking up seafood is really fun."

"Okay, next time. Do you have anything else to do?" The tide has risen again. What sea is there to catch?

In addition, Xu Ning was thinking about his own things and was absent-minded when talking to Qin Xianglan.

But Qin Xianglan didn't realize that Xu Ning was in trouble at all. It was Old Mrs. Xu who put down the bucket and came over who noticed Xu Ning's impatience and came over to help him out.

"Miss Xianglan, my Ningning has something to do right now. Why don't you find someone else to go with you to catch seafood?" Old Mrs. Xu had a kind smile on her face, but she was wondering in her heart. The trip to catch seafood had already been over, and the little girl from the village chief's family only asked her eldest daughter to go catch seafood. Why?

"Is that so? Okay." Since Old Mrs. Xu said so, no matter how thick-skinned Qin Xianglan was, she would feel embarrassed to continue pestering Xu Ning.

As soon as Qin Xianglan left, Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she just couldn't get along with someone like Qin Xianglan.

No matter why Qin Xianglan deliberately tried to get close to her, Xu Ning was disgusted by her insincerity.

"Grandma, please ask me where the nearest post station is. I have a letter to deliver."

"Okay, go write it first and I'll go ask for you."

The weather is very good today. The chief of Xianyu Village arrived at the Xu family's place early in the morning and directed the villagers to start digging the foundation.

There is strength in numbers. When Old Mrs. Xu reached the new house, one third of the foundation had been dug. At this rate, the foundation could be completed in more than two days!

Xu An and Xu Feng were also inside helping the women from Xianyu Village to carry soil, and a small number of children from Xianyu Village continued to pick up stones.

These children all volunteered to help, and Zhang felt bad about it, so she cooked extra rice for the children to take home.

Now, the children are more motivated to work!

Old Mrs. Xu smiled knowingly as she watched the lively scene. She stretched out her hand to call her eldest son over and asked him to distribute the mint water that she had specially brought.

It is hot and humid in the south. Everyone who is working is sweating. After taking a sip of mint water, they feel refreshed instantly and feel energetic.

"Auntie, why does this water taste so cold?"

"It's still sweet! So delicious!"

Especially the group of children around the Xu An brothers, their eyes lit up after taking a sip. They were reluctant to finish it all at once, and licked it carefully, one sip at a time, like little animals.

"Madam Xu, your tea is really good!"
