Chapter 90 The semen female partner chooses to farm (40)
Xu Yin played with the conch shell and asked casually: "When will our ship come back?"
Yan Kejin calculated the time: "It's almost just a few days."
Just as he was talking, there was a noise coming from the direction of the pier, and it seemed like a fishing boat was docking.
"Let's go take a look too." Xu Yin took him to the dock to join in the fun.
It was indeed a merchant's fishing boat that returned from the sea. The unloaded fish almost filled the entire dock.
Xu Yin didn't know many sea fish, but there were three types she had seen here - wild large yellow croaker that was almost extinct in later generations, mackerel suitable for making fish balls, and grouper with tender meat.
"We want these!"
She happily picked out the sea fish, then turned around to find that all the guards had been driven away by Yan Kejin to pick out shells, miscellaneous fish, shrimps and crabs.
Probably it was the delicious hot pot feast yesterday that left them with endless aftertaste, and they wanted to wrap up the miscellaneous fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish here.
"..."
She raised her forehead and said, "Don't choose too much. Let's eat in a different way today."
"Didn't you say that big fish is not delicious?" Yan Kejin tilted his head and looked at her, "You make the decision about what you want to eat, don't be embarrassed."
"...Well, it's not that it's not delicious, it depends on the fish and how it's cooked. The ones I picked are absolutely delicious. The shells have the charm of the shells, and the fish has the taste of the fish. There is no comparison between the two."
Yan Kejin: "..." That's not what you said yesterday!
Xu Yin smiled at him: "It's easy to get tired of eating shells, shrimps and crabs all the time. Today's fish is very fresh. Let's eat it in a different way? I guarantee you will like it!"
When the guards saw that the princess wanted to eat fish today and not the seafood steamer yesterday, although they felt a little disappointed, they still actively picked and picked up the fish.
Back in the other courtyard, Xu Yin asked Cai Qing to make large yellow croaker and grouper, sweet and sour yellow croaker, grouper with scallion oil, and she would make fish balls.
"Sweet and sour?"
Caiqing doesn't know how to do this. The most common way to cook sea fish in large kitchens is to steam it with sauce.
Xu Yin: "..."
Okay, sweet and sour yellow croaker is here too!
Fortunately, Cai Qing is very agile and can do everything quickly. This is why I chose her to accompany me this time.
By the time Xu Yin came out after changing into a set of regular clothes that were more convenient for cooking, Cai Qing had already packed up all the fish she was going to make for lunch.
Seeing how efficient she was, Xu Yin asked with a smile: "Do you want to learn how to make fish balls with me?"
"Is that okay, slave?" Cai Qing was flattered.
"Of course! This is not a secret recipe. You will know it after reading it once."
She explained while doing it, and when the first batch of fish balls was ready, Caiqing picked up another mackerel with great discernment and said: "Slave, try this one again!"
The fish balls made by the princess must be eaten by the prince.
She does what others eat.
"It's okay to make more. Other ways to make mackerel are not as delicious as fish balls."
Xu Yin didn't think much, she stared at the fat white fish balls floating on the water in the pot, and smiled with satisfaction.
It seems like centuries have passed since the last time I made fish balls. Fortunately, my hands are not raw.
At noon that day, everyone had a bowl of fish ball soup each, a dish of grouper with scallion oil, a dish of sweet and sour large yellow croaker, and a few dishes of fresh seasonal vegetables.
Xu Yin tasted the sweet and sour large yellow croaker made by Choi Choi Green and gave a thumbs up: "It's the first time I've made it, it's of this level, it's very good!"
Cai Qing's face turned red after being praised by the princess. She happily picked up the dinner plate and went to deliver food to the guards.
The guards were still reminiscing about the seafood steamer last night. They smelled the sweet aroma of sweet and sour yellow croaker and shrugged their noses: "What dish is so fragrant?"
At first glance, it looked like sea fish, but it was different from what the chef in the house cooked.
I took a bite and wow! It was so delicious that I couldn’t stop eating it with my chopsticks.
Everyone was fighting for it, and quickly finished a plate of sweet and sour croaker. Yan Shiba, who was the last to take off his chopsticks, saw that the fish meat was gone, so he simply brought the plate to him, scooped out a spoonful of rice, and ate it with sugar.
I ate all the vinegar sauce.
"Eighteen, how come you are so smart right now? If you are so smart when you go out on errands, you won't always get ripped off by Brother Seven."
"Hehe...this fish sauce bibimbap is so delicious!"
"..."
This kid is still thinking about it!
The other guards were two or three years older than him and couldn't do anything to grab the plate. They picked up the fish ball soup and took a sip with an annoyed look on their faces. This drink made them addicted again.
"Is this the fish ball the princess said? It's so damn delicious!"
“The fish ball soup is so delicious!”
“After eating sweet and sour fish, drink this soup again, it’s amazing!”
Fortunately, the fish ball soup is divided into portions. Each person has a bowl of soup and three fish balls. Although each fish ball is as big as a ping pong ball, it still feels unsatisfactory. I smash it and guess what the next meal will be.
The food cooked by the princess was so delicious! They were so lucky that they were lucky enough to eat the seafood cooked by the princess, which they had never tasted before.
What? The meal today was not made by the princess? It was taught by the princess to the little maid?
It doesn't matter, it's not important!
Without the princess, how would they know that sea fish could still be eaten like this?
Not only sea fish, but also shells that I didn’t notice in the past can actually make a delicious meal... I won’t talk about it anymore, I’ll chat with my brothers when I get back!
…
During her stay in Qin County, Xu Yin enjoyed a long-lost leisurely vacation.
Every morning I watch the sunrise at Xiulou, and every evening I watch the sunset. When there is no wind, I go for a walk on the beach.
When a fishing boat docks, I pick out some seafood that interests me and go back to eat whatever I want.
A few days later, the big ship from the royal palace finally came back.
The gold coins, silver dollars, pearls, agates and local specialties obtained from foreign exchanges robbed from the pirates' dens were crowded into the two cargo holds, one large and one small. The fish caught along the way filled the front and rear decks.
A truly rewarding experience!
The guards all had excited smiles on their faces.
The fear of the unknown journey when I set sail has been completely replaced by the excitement of fighting pirates and visiting foreign countries for more than half a year.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are lucky enough to live up to their orders!"
The returning soldiers knelt down on one knee towards Yan Kejin.
"It's good to come back safely. I'll be rewarded later on for my merits."
It's time to judge merit and reward.
Since coming to Nanman, the hardships and efforts everyone has put in cannot be summed up in just a few words.
Xu Yin looked back on the past two years with a lot of emotions.
The emperor probably never dreamed that he would establish it with his own hands, and then destroy it with his own hands. If he didn't destroy enough, he would throw it away far away. His legitimate son, who he wished he had never met in this life, would actually change (make) heaven and earth in this small world.
.
If we really want to talk about merit and reward, let alone the current prince, let’s talk about the emperor. His achievements during his reign may not be as great as Yan Kejin’s contribution in the past two years.
In the next few days, Yan Kejin stayed in the study, listening to the guards' detailed reports on how to defeat the pirates, how to find foreign countries to do business with, and also made a detailed maritime map of the places he visited during this trip.
In the future, people who go to sea will have a clear sailing direction with this map, instead of groping while sailing, which will inevitably lead to confusion and uneasiness in the first few days.
Until I met a group of short-sighted pirates and had no choice but to be robbed by them. I found a map on the pirate ship and immediately had a direction. Then I learned the pirates' method and drew the places I visited in detail.
Come down.
Yan Kejin looked at the map they drew, and then looked at the map found on the pirate ship, and suddenly understood.
It turns out that there are so many lands and islands beyond the outer continents?
Xu Yin pursed her lips and snickered: Has the prince opened the door to a new world?
