Chapter 900: There Are Dead People
Shangguan Ruoli felt like he was deceiving the children to prevent them from persistently looking for pearls, and said: "The possibility is not very high, but it will happen. It depends on luck!"
The light in the eyes of Sassoon and Qingqiu dimmed. For maids like them, pearls are very precious things.
Mo Wen had already filled the bucket, "Princess, is this stone-like thing really delicious?"
Mo Xiangye said: "These things grow on rocks, with a thick layer. I guess people thought they were rocks, so they didn't know they were edible."
Shangguan Ruoli said: "Of course, I will make a few for you when we get back. You will definitely think they are delicacies in the world."
Shangguan Ruoliguang couldn't help but swallow when he thought of fried eggs with sea oysters, oysters with garlic sauce, fried sea oyster buns, and oyster pancakes...
"Hey, that's good!" Mo Wen became very excited when he heard that the princess wanted to cook in person.
Others also wanted to know how to eat this thing. They followed the prince to the dock several times to inspect it, and saw the fishermen coming to the beach to pick up some crabs, clams and the like. No one did anything to deal with these ugly things.
Sure enough, some fishermen saw them knocking stones and knocking them very seriously, so they stared at them as if they were crazy. Because there were guards, they did not dare to come near and pointed suspiciously from a distance.
The brave ones couldn't help but approach the guards who were on guard and asked: "Master, what are you doing by banging on those rocks? Is there any use?"
The guard looked at Shangguan Ruoli and wondered whether he should tell them.
Shangguan Ruoli said to them: "You can eat it. It has high nutritional value."
Mo Wen took an oyster and pried it open and showed it to the fishermen, "Did you see it? It's the same type as the clams you picked up."
After the fishermen saw it, they understood, but they didn't like clams very much, and they had no enthusiasm for oysters. After they understood what they were, they all dispersed.
Bai Qingyan, Yun Shiba and others came over each carrying a bucket of fish.
Bai Qingyan said: "Princess, they know about kelp, but they don't know about seaweed, seaweed and sea cabbage. I have asked them to go to sea to catch some plants and keep some. Then you can identify them and tell the fishermen so that they can pick them."
Shangguan Ruoli nodded and walked over to see what kinds of fish there were. They were similar to the kinds of modern sea fish, and there were also some kinds that she had never seen before.
Suddenly, Shangguan Ruoli's eyes lit up and he pointed at a sea cucumber and said, "Why are there so few of them?"
Bai Qingyan said: "You can't eat these sea bugs. Maybe the fisherman didn't throw them away just now."
"What? Throw everything away?" Shangguan Ruoli's eyes widened, as if they were wasting everything they had.
Bai Qingyan was puzzled: "What's wrong? Can these be eaten too?"
Shangguan Ruoli exclaimed: "Not only is it edible, it is also a great tonic comparable to ginseng and bird's nest! Hurry up and pick them all up for me, and tell the fishermen that I will collect as much of this stuff as you can from now on. If you can't eat it, just dry it in the sun."
"
In modern times, even if you spend a lot of money to buy wild and natural sea cucumbers, you can’t get them! People throw them away, which is really heartbreaking.
"I'll pick it up!" Yun Shiba ran back with Lei Shishi, and Yin Xue also ran back.
Ling Yao and Xiao Fei each came over with a piece of kelp. Ling Yao said happily: "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, is this thing like a belt a kelp?"
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Yes, smart girl, this is kelp. It contains iodine, which can prevent big neck disease."
In fact, you can dig fish ponds, divert seawater, and raise fish, crabs, oysters, clams, and even kelp and seaweed yourself.
But all this has to be done slowly. For now, we should build the wharf first and build terraces in the mountains. The stones will be used to build roads and factories.
Shangguan Ruoli thought this way, so he and Dongming Ziyu walked around the dock, defined the scope of the dock, and planned the general scope of building warehouses, restaurants, inns and other facilities.
Tomorrow we will send people to measure the place and make a budget. Construction will start on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, first leveling the land at the dock and the road from the dock to Yuejun City.
Li Yueming and Sun Chengwen, the governors of Yue County, quickly learned about Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli's actions. They were a little surprised. But they knew that King Xuan never did anything meaningless. Could it be that King Xuan wanted to build a dock?
The first thing that happened when a new official took office was that when King Xuan came to the fiefdom, there was no way that there was no movement at all. He did not start with improving the officialdom and public security, but started with the construction of docks. This is a good sign, otherwise it would be really difficult for them to do some things.
They felt secretly relieved and felt they could relax their vigilance.
However, there are people who don't let them get what they want and don't let the fiefdom rest.
"Ah!" Sassoon, who was digging oysters on the rocks and dreaming of finding many pearls, screamed and fell off the rocks.
Housekeeper Zuo, who was under the reef, looked up and saw someone falling from above. He subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but when he saw that there were rubbles under his feet, the reef was more than two meters long. If he fell, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
The guards and secret guards nearby were far away, and it was too late to help.
In an instant, he made a decision and reached out to pick up Sassoon.
It's a pity that he is just a weak scholar with no martial arts skills, so he can only be a human mat.
They could only scream twice, and both of them fell to the ground. However, the posture of the two people was very ambiguous, and they hugged each other tightly.
Sassoon's eyes were wide open and she could not move as if she had been stabbed because she found that her lips happened to be printed on the lips of the left housekeeper.
Shangguan Ruoli came after hearing the sound, unable to hold his forehead: This plot is really uncreative.
After all, Butler Zuo was a man. He recovered from the lightning-like shock first, realized that his whole body was in pain, and screamed: "Ouch, it hurts me to death!"
Sassoon was brought back to his senses by his voice, and he quickly got up from him, grinning in pain, "It hurts, it hurts me too!"
Mo Wen covered his mouth and snickered, "You two are in pain, so you are not cooperating."
When he gave Qingfeng the two boxes of Dongming Ziyu's pornographic books, he flipped through them. In addition, he was forced to listen to the masters' rooms from time to time. Even though he was a eunuch, he knew everything.
Sassoon didn't know what he meant, so he glared at Butler Zuo and said, "That's right, if I fell too, it's better not to catch it, and I have to accept your favor!"
Butler Zuo blushed deeply and lay on the ground holding his waist, groaning.
Shangguan Ruoli asked Mo: "Stop teasing them, show it to Butler Zuo quickly, don't hurt the bones." Then he said to Sassoon: "Come here and let me show you!"
Sassoon walked over holding his waist, grinning and said: "It should be fine."
Shangguan Ruoli pulled her over to examine her, "Why did you fall off the rock so carelessly?"
Only then did Sassoon remember something, screamed, pointed to the rocks and said: "Yes, there are dead people!"
