Zhou Man was stunned for a moment and immediately asked: "Are the crabs delicious at this time?"
Bai Shan had already hurried up, took off his cloak and threw it to the girl. He quickly stepped forward and pulled the two of them, "Mom, sister-in-law, you can't catch the cold at this time. Go back to the car and warm your feet."
Only then did Zhou Man come back to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you can't catch the cold."
Bai Erlang also looked away from the crabs, but he still couldn't help but say something more, "Sea crabs are much bigger than river crabs. It seems that we didn't eat crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."
Zhou Man and Ming Da were both pregnant. They were looking for talents to build the wharf, and they had forgotten to eat and drink. If they hadn't seen it now, they would never have remembered that sea crabs and river crabs were not the same.
When Yin You saw him looking around, he said, "There are no fishermen here. Let's ask the guards to ask questions. Let's go back to the other courtyard first."
Bai Erlang's villa has been built a long time ago, but they did not let the craftsmen return to Beijing, but sent them to another place to build a paper mill.
The villa is not very far from the pier. If you catch a carriage, you can get there in about a quarter of an hour. Because the fields are now empty, you can see their villa from a distance while standing on the pier.
The other courtyard is in a higher place, undulating upward. From a distance, it seems to be on a hillside, overlooking the sea. The craftsmen also built a viewing tower for them. In fact, it is not very high, only three floors, but it is
It's the tallest building in the neighborhood, so it has a clear view.
It has been a month since the villa was built, but they have never come to live there. It is convenient for everyone at this time.
When they arrived this morning, the servants had already gone in to pack and prepare. Bai Shan helped Zheng and Xiao Qian get into the car, asked the maid to take off their shoes and socks, wrapped their feet with a cloak, and then turned around to pick up Zhou Man.
Back in the other courtyard, Zhou Man asked Xi Cake to make the cold-repelling soup, "Put more ginger and brown sugar. It's spicy. It's particularly effective in repelling the cold."
The cakes are ready.
Zhou Man went to see Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Xiao Qian. They had already changed their clothes and their faces were still rosy. Although they felt cold behind them, they took off their wet shoes and socks and put on their cloaks as soon as they got on the carriage, so they did not catch the cold.
.
But the two of them still drank a bowl of cold-repelling soup, and then asked Zhou Man enthusiastically, "Where are the crabs we caught?"
It's just a crab. It looks quite big, but it's definitely not big enough to fit between your teeth.
Bai Erlang asked the guards to ask the fishermen in the nearby fishing village. In the end, there were no crabs, but they brought back several fish.
The guard said: "Prince-in-law, they all say that crabs are not delicious and are far inferior to these fish."
Bai Erlang ignored it and asked directly: "Can they catch sea crabs?"
"The sea crabs at this time of year are average, but you can still catch them."
Bai Erlang immediately waved his hand, "Then take it!"
No matter if it tastes good or not, eat it first and then talk about it.
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she became curious, "Is the fishing village far from our place?"
Bai Shan: "It's not very far. Mother, do you want to go and have a look?"
Mrs. Zheng nodded repeatedly, she was still very interested.
So they had lunch at noon, rested for half an hour, and then went to the fishing village, where they only took a walk.
The fishing village was indeed not very far from their place, it only took two-quarters of an hour to walk there, but the village was a bit messy and had a fishy smell.
Mrs. Zheng looked at Zhou Man and Mingda and felt relieved when she saw that they didn't react much.
When the village chief heard that the nobles were coming, he immediately rushed out to greet them.
Bai Shan nodded slightly to him and asked, "Has anyone in the village been going to the sea recently?"
"Yes, yes, everyone will still go to the sea when the wind and waves are light." Although most of the young men and young women in the village now go to work on the pier, others can also go to the sea, but they will not go very far.
, but there won’t be much danger.
Some of them went to the sea today and brought back some fish. Mrs. Zheng went to see them out of curiosity and found that she didn't recognize them all.
Xiao Qian didn't know them either, but when she saw the fishermen taking out several fish and cutting open their stomachs for dinner, she suddenly thought, "These fish can be kept for caviar."
She saw that when the man cut open the belly of the fish just now, there were a lot of fish roe inside.
Zhou Man also came up to take a look, but his eyes fell on the other two fish in the bucket. Then he ordered people to pick them up, "I have never seen these two fish, I want them."
She also picked up a long snail from the fishing net piled aside and smiled slightly, "I want this too."
Jiulan immediately stepped forward to pay. How dare the village chief ask for it? He quickly said: "It's just a few fish. Adults like to just take them. They're worthless."
But Bai Shan insisted on paying, and even gave more. He smiled and said: "We are very interested in the things in the sea. In the future, you can go to the sea and bring back more things we have never seen. As long as they are alive, no matter how much they are."
, it doesn’t matter if it’s just one or two, whether it’s fish or shells, we all want to see them.”
The village chief glanced at the long snail in Zhou Man's hand and believed it. He immediately said: "Don't worry, sir. I will tell you soon. They will pay attention when they go to sea."
Bai Shan nodded with satisfaction.
In addition to the two fish that Zhou Man was interested in, there were also several fish selected by Xiao Qian. I wonder if people who cook delicious food also have talents in selecting dishes. She didn't know these fish and had never seen them before.
But after flipping through it, she decided to buy it.
Zhou Man was particularly curious about how it would taste.
Seeing her swallowing her saliva while looking at the raw fish, Xiao Qian couldn't help but smile and said, "I'll cook it for you when I get back."
Zhou Man nodded repeatedly.
Mingda was also curious. She thought for a while and said, "I have to eat something lighter."
Xiao Qian nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."
Bai Shan was not curious about the food for the time being. He looked around the fishing village, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's much neater than the last time I came here."
The village chief immediately said: "This is all your fault."
He said: "According to your instructions, I opened some land on the other side of the hillside, raised it with dung water, and each family got a little bit to grow vegetables. Most people in the village work at the dock to get paid.
, I can still support my family even if I don’t go to sea, so life is better.”
Bai Shan asked: "After the dock is built, what have you thought about continuing to do?"
He said: "You can't lose your fishing skills for the time being."
The village chief immediately responded and said: "We dare not forget, but we also listen to the adults' instructions and learn more from the people on the dock. We have learned some skills recently. When the dock is built in the future, maybe someone can do carpentry or masonry."
, By the way, we also learned farming from others, but it’s a pity that we don’t have any land here, and other than that, we just raise pigs.”
The village chief was very excited when he said this, and said to Bai Shan: "Sir, would you like to see the pigs we raise? My family has raised three pigs this year, but they have only been raised for less than three months, and they are still very small. It is estimated that they will not be harvested until next autumn.
Only then can I kill."
When Bai Shan heard this, he immediately followed him to see the pigs, and Zhou Man also went.
Xiao Qian said to her, "It's dirty and smelly. When you were a child, you went to see the pigs raised by people in the village. You just looked at the pigsty for a while and then left. What are you going to see at this time?"
Zhou Man said: "Look, their place is different from ours. They have never raised pigs."
