Chapter 171: Estrangement
Those giant shrimps and crabs are the Dragon King's shrimp soldiers and crab generals. This knowledge is not only held in Maoer Village.
Most fishermen in the Lingnan area think so because it is close to the sea. Even people living in the county town who are not fishermen have the same understanding.
It would probably be difficult to serve lobster as a dish in a restaurant.
Not to mention that all the diners have ordered it, I'm afraid that if they just treat the lobster as a dish, everyone will feel that it is an offense to the Dragon King.
In Maoer Village, Shen Yitian is known as the Dragon Girl, but when she goes to the county town, I’m afraid no one will buy her story.
He told the whole story and Shen Yitian fell silent.
She could just follow suit and stage a scene of the Dragon King appearing in her new restaurant, but if she did, would the diners really come?
"Then let's not rush. Let's open the restaurant first." She thought about it and decided to postpone the lobster matter.
This is also what Ye Liehu meant.
Speaking of restaurants, Ye Liehu has been going to the county town to look for a shop whenever he has time recently. It has been so many days now, and Shen Yitian is curious whether he has found a location that suits him.
"Yes, I've looked at several places, but you have to make the final decision." After eating the last shrimp monster, Ye Hunter took the hot towel handed to him by Shengsheng, wiped his hands, and then wet the area around his mouth.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Shen Yitian always feels that when he touches the area around his mouth, the force is much lighter than when he wipes his hands.
"If you're interested, I should go with you to take a look." Shen Yitian said.
After saying that, he became a little worried: "But I am now an exiled prisoner. If I want to go to the county town, I am afraid I need the approval of the village chief."
After all, the Nanwu prefect had placed the exiled prisoners in Maoer Village, and leaving without permission would only lead to trouble.
"Then tell him." said Ye Liehu.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Shen Yitian pinched a snail shell and played with it while feeling worried.
The next day, Grandma Li got up early and arranged for Xiao Wei to harness the car. She was going to take people to move furniture today.
Shen Yitian was going to move in, so she ordered the best furniture, but at the same time, it wouldn't be that quick to make.
She asked Xiao Wei to check it out yesterday, and they said that the chairs and tables had been made, and a few cabinets had also been made.
But the bed she ordered was a bit complicated, and it might be difficult to transport it here after it was finished.
So Grandma Li decided to bring the finished furniture back first.
For the remaining unfinished materials, we would bring them back and invite carpenters to the new house to have the furniture made directly in the new house.
She also arranged some flowers, plants and trees in the yard.
Lingnan is remote, and the Shen family's business has not yet reached here, so she can only deliver letters from other places nearby.
Since there was no mission to go out to sea to learn fishing today, Shen Yitian was not in a hurry to go out.
When she came out, Grandma Li had just arranged the car, and Xiao Wei was driving to set off.
"Just buy a few things. You won't be staying here for long, so why buy too much?"
Shen Yitian really couldn't do anything about this old lady.
With instructions from Shen Qingshan and Shen Zhuohang, she was determined to decorate the place where Shen Yitian would live.
Seeing that the old lady had become thinner recently, Shen Yitian felt jealous, but she just couldn't persuade her.
Once you say something harsh, the old lady will feel that she is too old to worry about it, and she will clamor to go back to the capital and ask Shen Qingshan to replace her with someone more capable.
Of course Shen Yitian would not let her return to the capital now. The old lady had to travel all the way alone, and who knows what she might encounter on the way.
So apart from asking the kitchen to cook more good food to nourish the old lady, she didn't care about anything else.
Seeing that the old lady was about to run around to move the furniture, she couldn't help but speak.
Grandma Li said cheerfully, "It's already casual enough. If it were any more casual, I'm afraid the young lady would be laughed at if she moved in."
"This is a remote place, and no one knows the Shen family's financial situation. Why are you sneering at them?" Shen Yitian disagreed.
In fact, the size of the small courtyard we live in now is enough, and the furniture inside is also sufficient.
This is just an ordinary decoration in every household of the villagers.
"Miss, please don't worry about it. Leave these matters to me and you just focus on your own things." Grandma Li still didn't listen to her.
After seeing off the carriage, Hunter Ye just came out, and the two of them discussed going to the house over there first, and then going to find Mai Dong to tell him about going to the county town.
Shen Yitian's house is built on the other side of the rocky mountain. It takes one or two hours to walk there and back.
The road they took did not require passing through the open space where other prisoners built houses, so Shen Yitian did not see those prisoners building houses with dusty faces, and were also thinking about how to get a fishing boat and go out to sea to fish to pay their daily quota.
Even with her support, Yue Niang still felt that life was hopeless, let alone those prisoners.
Some people haven't even made the adobe bricks to build their houses yet, and the whole family can only live in a shack made of dry branches.
The wind is strong at the seaside, so a shack like this is actually of little use.
Especially when it rains heavily, it rains heavily outside and inside the shack as well. It is not a place for people to live at all.
If all exiles were the same, they would not have any concerns.
It just so happened that Shen Yitian had built a big village, and the houses of Yue Niang and the second branch of the Song family were almost finished, and they were about to put up the beams and complete the roof.
They were all exiled prisoners, and their lives were so miserable, but on the other side of the stone mountain, everyone was living a more comfortable life than the other.
They are not convinced.
Even Daya's family, who had a good relationship with Yue Niang along the way, looked unhappy.
After Daya took off her clothes and handed over a brick, she found that her mother had stacked it crookedly and couldn't help complaining.
"Mom, your adobe bricks are not aligned properly. Why is Third Aunt's house built so quickly, and why is there no one to help build ours?"
Grandma Li said cheerfully, "It's already casual enough. If it were any more casual, I'm afraid the young lady would be laughed at if she moved in."
"This is a remote place, and no one knows the Shen family's financial situation. Why are you sneering at them?" Shen Yitian disagreed.
