Farmer's pretty businesswoman

Chapter 158: Prince Mu (2)
Shangguan Chuchu squatted down and carefully inspected the workmanship, size and key points of the crab pot. She nodded frequently while inspecting.After a long while, she raised her head, looked at Qiu Ju with a smile, and said, "This crab trap looks simple, and there is no mystery to it, but it can indeed catch crabs. You see, the three funnel traps This is the channel for crabs to enter the cage. Its characteristic is that it can only enter but not exit. Look at this again, this is the box for bait. We only need to put the sea fish that crabs like to eat in it, and it will smell Come with the taste, don’t invite yourself in.”

"Crabs eat sea fish?" Qiu Ju asked in surprise.

She only tasted the delicacy of crabs after Shangguan Chuchu peddled all directions to make money. People here didn't eat crabs at all before, and naturally they didn't observe the living habits of crabs.

"Well, it likes to eat sea fish with a strong fishy smell and firm flesh." Shangguan Chuchu stood up, turned and went back to the room, and after a while, she came out with a thick letter in her hand.She handed the letter to Qiu Ju and exhorted softly: "Qiu Ju, please go to 'Wanghai Bay' and hand over these three crab pots to Qiancheng. How to use it, how to pickle the bait. You tell him, use the method in it to try to catch crabs in a cage, and tell me the results of the crabbing another day.”

Putting the letter into her bosom properly, Qiu Ju nodded, and said with a sense of enlightenment: "It turns out that it is so easy to catch crabs. Miss is really amazing."

"I also see people have caught crabs like this. Whether they are good or not depends on the results after putting them in the cage." With a smile, Shangguan Chuchu spoke softly about his attitude towards the role of crab cages.She just drew a sketch according to the appearance of the crab cage in her memory, and the result remains to be seen.

Back then, when I was a successful person, I liked to travel around.I especially like traveling in farmhouses, so I went out to sea to catch fish, crabs, and oysters in Qingdao at that time, and also experienced a fisherman's life on a local sea farm.

What she didn't expect was that the love back then seemed to be arranged secretly.If she didn't have such a liking, then she would not be able to do anything extraordinary when she came to this place.

"It's definitely possible, I believe miss." Qiu Ju nodded firmly. "It's just that, miss, the crab pots are put into the sea one by one, how to get them out?"

"Hehe! Seeing your trust in me, I have become full of confidence." Shangguan Chuchu said, squatted down again, pointed to the crab pot, and said: "Of course it is impossible to release crabs one by one. Cage, these are also particular. You see here, we need to tie the cage rope to the edge of the cage, connect one end of the branch line in the middle, and connect the other end of the branch line to the main line. The distance in the middle is 20 meters. One cage is tied with each trunk line, that is, fifty cages are knotted on each trunk line, and a buoy and a sunken stone are respectively tied at both ends of the trunk line to form a group of cages. Generally, eight groups of cages are put in at a time, and the total number of cages It's four hundred."

"Ah? So many?" Qiu Ju exclaimed in surprise, and a scene of pulling out four hundred crab pots from the sea at the same time immediately appeared in her mind, and the cabin was full of crabs running around.Her eyes were wide open, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Seeing her surprised appearance, Shangguan Chuchu laughed, stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, and said: "It's getting late, you go early and come back early. By the way, take these silver taels to my godmother. They took my All the money I left was used to buy wine.”

"Okay! I'll go right away." Qiu Ju took the money, took the crab pot and went out.

After gathering the clothes on his body, Shangguan Chuchu looked up at the gray sky, feeling a little heavy in his heart.This sky is more like my own heart. Although I know that the sun will definitely come out of the thick dark clouds, my heart can't help but feel sorry for the person who lives in my heart.

She clenched her fists secretly, her lips were tightly pursed, and starlight was shining in her eyes looking up at the sky.

One day, she will take back everything for him. In the future, she will give him a warm home, a complete home.

No matter what kind of difficulties there will be in the process.

On the official road covered with thick snow, two carriages moved forward slowly one after the other, and there were deep and long carriage wheel marks where the carriages passed.Even though the sky was snowing like goose feathers, and even though the man in black driving the first carriage had turned into a snowman, judging from his upright sitting posture, he was still in good spirits.

"Yu..." Suddenly, the man in black who was driving the carriage pulled the rope, turned his head to the people in the carriage, and said, "Master, it seems that there is a person fainted on the road ahead."

"Go and have a look." A gentle yet awe-inspiring voice came from inside the carriage.

"Yes! Master." The man who drove the car jumped lightly, and in the blink of an eye, he stood in front of the black shadow. He lifted the frozen man who was facing down, and stretched out his hand to his nose, his expression changed immediately. , picked it up and headed for the carriage.

"Master, he is still breathing weakly. Looking at him dressed like an old beggar, he must have fainted from freezing or starvation in the snow." The black-clothed driver truthfully reported to the people in the carriage, Awaiting the decision of those inside.

As soon as his words fell, the carriage door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man came out from inside.His thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose bridge, and specially groomed mustache make him look more refined, gentle and elegant. It is not difficult to see that this man was a handsome man when he was young.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the beggar with his eyes closed tightly, and then at the snow-covered surroundings, then retreated into the carriage and said, "Hurry up and bring him in."

Seeing the carriage in front stop, the carriage behind also stopped, and after a while, I heard a greeting from outside the carriage: "Master, what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just ran into a person who was fainted from the cold. Master Hai, your carriage will lead the way, keep going, don't waste time." There is also a voice full of anxiety.

Mr. Hai glanced at the closed carriage door suspiciously, nodded, bowed his hands and saluted, "Yes, Lord!"

Master Hai returned to his carriage with doubts, waved to the groom, and said, "Lead the way ahead, keep your distance." Before bending over to step into the carriage, he looked around vigilantly, frowning slightly. Frowning loosely, he got into the carriage.

He was reporting on his duties in the capital, but he was reluctant to leave Haiping County, so he declined the chance of promotion.Fortunately, he was appreciated by Prince Mu, and under the plea of ​​Prince Mu, he was not punished by the new emperor, and he was able to keep his original position smoothly.

Even so, it will take some time before these officials who report to Beijing once every three years leave Beijing.Three days ago, Lord Mu suddenly came to him and told him about the new emperor, asking him to leave immediately to accompany Prince Mu back to Haiping County.
