Next to a low thatched house on the outskirts of the county, a woman with patched clothes was saying to her child: "Wu'er, take these cooked oysters to dry them."

The housekeeper introduced the family's situation to Su You along the way: "Shaobao, there are quite a few widows like this in Changguo County. The men are away at sea, and the family's livelihood suddenly becomes difficult... Look, look, it's over there.

, that’s Long Sanniang. After her husband left, she worked and collected shellfish at the beach to support her family.”

"But Sanniang's craftsmanship is outstanding, she is also diligent, she keeps things clean and is willing to add salt, so her dry goods are the best on the island."

Then he shouted to the other side of the thatched house: "Sanniang, Sanniang Shaobao is here to see you!"

The woman was watching the fire, fishing out boiled oysters from several large pottery jars. After hearing this, she wiped her hands with her apron and said, "His uncle is here and he is sitting at home. Brother Shaobao, right? The simplicity of the home will make you laugh.

Are you coming to my house to collect dried oysters or scallops? It doesn’t matter."

I'm sorry this guy didn't know that Shaobao was an official name.

The housekeeper was frightened: "Hey, Sanniang, don't talk nonsense. The young master is the second rank of the imperial court. The whole Zhejiang Road is full of food, drink, and diarrhea. It should be under the young master's care!"

After saying that, he was not sure, so he turned to Su You and handed over his hand: "Shaobao, is that so?"

Su You was also a temperless person, and he patiently explained: "That's not entirely true. In name, the Liangzhe Road also has the Criminal Division to manage legal affairs, the Changping Division to manage the granary, and the Transport Division to be governed by three departments. You and you

How long has it been, Master? You don’t even know this?”

The butler said "Hi": "I'm afraid the master himself..."

After thinking about it, it was better not to say anything, and quickly changed the subject: "Sanniang, Shaobao has sent a boatload of fish to the people of Changguo. The old fisherman is getting up, and I guess he will send it to your house soon."

After speaking, he touched the head of the seven or eight-year-old child next to him: "Young children will also have a good time tonight."

Sanniang pursed her lips, thinking that if a boatload of fish weighed several hundred kilograms and was given to people in a county, Shaobao could imagine the loss.

However, he still squatted down and said, "A civilian woman has seen Shaobao."

This is quite good. When most ordinary people see such a high official, they are usually frightened to death. Sanniang's performance is that of an ignorant and fearless person. In addition, Su You, this official, really doesn't look like a big brother.

Su You looked at the thick soup in the pottery vat: "How long has this been simmering?"

Sanniang didn't understand what Su You meant: "I've been busy all morning. Although the work is simple, my clams can be cooked more cleanly than others."

Wu'er asked: "Uncle, do you want to buy my dried oysters? I'll get them for you..."

Without waiting for Su You's reply, Wu'er rushed into the house and took out a dustpan: "Uncle, look, these are all dried goods from my house. They are all good. Uncle, just buy some..."

After saying that, he held the dustpan pitifully and looked at Su You: "How about you taste it first...my mother worked very hard to make it...you can eat it directly..."

There are many kinds of scallops, dried oysters, mussels, scallops, dried shrimps, shrimps, and dried fish in the dustpan. Not only are they very clean, they are also very beautiful.

Sanniang quickly dragged Wu'er back: "Wu'er, don't make trouble. This is an official, not here to buy things."

Su You felt a little sad, so he picked up a piece of shrimp and put it into his mouth. A fresh, salty and sweet taste suddenly filled his mouth: "Good stuff..."

He raised his head and asked Sanniang: "How many of these things do you have at home?"

Sanniang pulled Wu'er: "My lord, don't listen to Wu'er's nonsense. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Su You reached out and touched Wu'er's head: "If you help the family at such a young age, you will definitely be capable in the future. Then you must remember how your mother raised you today, and don't forget it."

Wu'er nodded: "Well, I want to buy a lot of delicious food for my mother."

Su You smiled and said: "Then you can continue working, Sanniang. After blanching seafood, how do you deal with the soup?"

Sanniang said "Ah": "Of course I have to throw it away. I have to change the water in my house every day. Everything is absolutely clean!"

Su You said: "Then you try not to pour it over today. After blanching, let it thicken. I estimate it will take about half a day. After thickening, bring the syrup to me for a look. Remember to stir it frequently to prevent it from getting muddy."

Sanniang looked at this strange official and wondered what he was going to do.

The butler quickly said: "Shaobao is a man from heaven. Just do it as he is told. Don't dare to delay. You may not know it yet. Shaobao just casually caught tens of thousands of catties of fish. That boat...

…The old fisherman is almost overjoyed!”

"Ah?" Sanniang was frightened, wondering if the person in front of her was really a god: "Ten thousand catties?!"

The butler said: "Anyway, what Shaobao asked you to do is definitely a compliment. You have to cook carefully and remember to deliver the things later!"

"Hey!" Sanniang agreed quickly: "Then his uncle won't sit here for a while?"

"No, Shaobao has so many things to take care of. We can't waste a moment. Uncle Tian will come to see you again someday!"

By the time the two of them returned to Long Jicai's house, the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance.

Long Jicai and a few old men were already waiting here.

Seeing Su You, Long Jicai came over to salute: "Shaobao, these are the heads of several families on the island. You just..."

Su You smiled and said: "I just thought of something that might be possible to make here, so I went to find an expert."

The housekeeper said: "Master, I just went to Sanniang's house with Shaobao."

Su You said: "I want all the things from Sanniang's house. I am also worried that I have nothing to send to Bianjing. It will be the New Year's Day when the shipment is over, which will be perfect!"

Seafood is a good food for making milk. The second child in the family will be born soon, so you have to prepare in advance.

Long Jicai handed over his hand: "Young Master is kind, Sanniang is raising several children by herself, and she is still stubborn. Alas..."

Su You was surprised: "Didn't you see any other children?"

The steward said: "Most of them are digging oysters on the rocks!"

Su You sighed, met with several elderly people, and asked Long Jicai: "Is Mr. Jiefu up yet?"

Long Jicai shook his head: "No, he's still lying down."

Su You said: "He really suffered a lot. Let's make him a pot of seafood porridge later."

Having said this, Zhang San and Yan Jidao also came back, along with a Goryeo official and a monk.

When they saw Su You, the Goryeo officials' eyes were full of little stars: "Koryo envoy Jin Ti, pays homage to the wise minister Shaobao of the Shangguo."

Su You returned the favor: "Hey, Ambassador Jin is also on this island? I know you, Su You mentioned it in the letter when he was sent to Hangzhou."

Jin Ti felt so honored: "This trip to the Song Dynasty is under the order of the emperor. I would like to thank the Song Dynasty for giving the Nine Classics, Zi Shi, cabbage and radish..."

Su You raised his hand to stop him, looked at Jin Ti and said with a half-smile, "Stop! Just return the first few items. Ambassador Jin, when did the Song Dynasty give you cabbage and radish?"

Jin Ti failed to fool him, and his face was a little hot: "This was brought to the lower country by the nobles of the Guoyuan family on a whim. Now that the first season's harvest has come, it is indeed a good product of the upper country..."

Su You raised his hand: "Wait a minute, who is the nobleman of the Guoyuan family? Please tell me clearly."

Jin Ti handed over his hand and said, "She is the daughter-in-law of Fu Xuanzhi from your country. After she went to Goryeo with her father, she gave the seeds she brought from Bianjing to the people in the west of Beijing and taught them how to plant them. After one season, she got a lot of seeds.

The seeds are now being planted for the second season.”

"Goryeo was bitterly cold, and in the winter they could only survive with pickled platycodon and other vegetables. The Fu family sent these two vegetables as gifts. The Lord was overjoyed when he learned that they could also be used as winter storage."

"I personally made the decision to order the prince of the country to take her as his concubine, and also ordered the ministers to come to the Song Dynasty to express gratitude for the gift given by the heaven. I said that I was a citizen of Goryeo, and I was all grateful for the blessings of the state."

Su You touched his nose: "Since it is of benefit to the people of your country, I will not pursue this matter. This master is..."

Jin Ti's face turned red again: "Shaobao, I'm afraid I will cause you more trouble..."

Seeing Su You glaring at him again, Jin Ti was so frightened that he almost cried: "I was with Mr. Zizhan and taught him for several months... I have a very good relationship with Mr. Da... Shaobao, you have to help me no matter what."

Ah...otherwise, otherwise I won't be able to go back..."
