Happiness System

There was only a slight breeze at the moment, and the so-called tent, a temporary camp for the women and children to rest, was just a few large pieces of sunshade cloth.

"Mrs. Wen, come here!"

When Princess Kang saw Meng Yuxi getting off the carriage, she immediately asked her to sit over.

Meng Yuxi walked over and greeted them, and said in a tone of reproach: "So everyone is hiding here, why didn't you invite me to join you?"

Mrs. Lin covered her mouth with her fan and smiled, "I dare not hire a busy man like you!"

"How can I be considered a busy person? Isn't I just an idle person who is in the way?"

Meng Yuxi felt very hot after walking a few steps, so she sat down in the seat they vacated without any hesitation.

Seeing that Meng Yiyun and the others had gone to the shed next door where the men were staying, she asked Xiaoxia to take out a plate of oranges from the carriage. There weren't many, and there were many women and children in Prince Kang's Mansion and the Lin family, so each person would only get a few petals.

"Huh? It's sweet!" Madam Lin paused, her brows relaxed, and she joked with a smile, "Madam Wen has more good things! She's also very generous!"

Meng Yuxi fanned herself and looked at the sea and said casually, "It's not that there are too many good things, it's just that there are too few people in the family."

“What’s so good about that? The blue sea and blue sky, the water and the sky blending into one... the book does describe it as very beautiful, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like the swallowing mouth of a monster!” Mrs. Lin followed her gaze towards the sea, and looked away after a while.

"That's right! I didn't feel it had the same feeling as in the book. Instead, it felt quite scary!" Mrs. Lin's daughter-in-law immediately echoed.

In fact, it is quite beautiful, but everyone is busy surviving and fearing the unknown, so they have no time to appreciate it.

A group of women were chatting idly, and time passed quickly.

It didn't feel like a long time had passed before I saw the men and horses pulling the big boat towards us.

Meng Yuxi soon saw her own big ship and hurriedly told Xiaoxia to ask the kitchen to prepare food.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be their last meal on land.

The ladies of the other two families also started to get busy, so no one had time to chat.

When the ship is more than ten meters away from the sea, horses can no longer be used and all the rest has to be done by manpower.

The prepared food was delivered, and the men ate and rested for two quarters of an hour, then pushed the boat into the sea in one go...

They boarded the big ship in the sunset. In less than half an hour, the horns of the ships responded to each other, the sails were raised, and they were about to leave Lu and sail away from the mainland.

Meng Yuxi didn't feel reluctant, but she was still a little confused.

Meng Shixu was a young man who did not know what worries were. During the more than one year or nearly two years of fleeing famine, he took supplements and exercised, and the health of the three of them actually improved!

Although it is still a little worse than that of ordinary people, at least I don’t need to take medicine every now and then.

He was lying on the guardrail, extremely excited, pointing at the white shadows in the distance and saying, "Dad, sister, look, that's the legendary seabird, they can catch fish! They're flying so low, there must be fish over there!"

Seeing everyone looking at him lovingly (looking at him as if he were a fool), Meng Shixu smacked his lips and said, "The fish from Daqi is not delicious, but the fish from the South tastes good. Do you think sea fish is edible?"

Seeing Meng Yuxi shaking her head, he felt so disappointed that he became depressed.

Meng Yuxi smiled and said, "Sea fish are edible. There are so many things to eat in the sea, all kinds of fish and shrimps. As long as you can catch them, you can eat them until you get tired of them!

But guess why they don't eat much fish near the coast of the Stone Country?"

Meng Shixu became happy again and asked innocently, "The Stone Country doesn't eat fish? Why?"

"Because fish and shrimp are very fat! These things are only eaten by rich people. Poor people can't afford so many seasonings and ingredients. If they are not delicious, eating them is more painful than starving to death..."

Meng Shixu's smile faded, "Then we won't get any supplies along the way?"

"Stupid!" Meng Yiyun closed his folding fan and tapped his youngest son. "Why do you think your sister asked people to collect the unpalatable animal meat?"

"Because there is no supply of fish and shrimp to eat!" Meng Shixu touched his head aggrievedly.

"Wrong, animal meat is oil! If we eat some animal meat from time to time, we can catch fish to eat! Otherwise, why did your sister remind us to buy fishing nets when we were in the South Country?"

Meng Shijin looked at his old father helplessly. His younger brother was a waste!

Meng Yiyun also looked helpless. His youngest son was neither good at literature nor martial arts. Would he have to farm in the New World?

If Meng Yuxi heard this kind of psychological activity, she would have to snort. When she arrives in the New World, she might have to start farming right from the start!

When the sun sank below the water, the kitchen shouted that dinner was ready, and everyone went downstairs to eat.

Except for the deck which is the activity area, the rest of the ship is divided into three parts, like three big houses.

The Wen family is small, and with the in-laws from the Meng family, the number of masters is also pitifully small, so it is relatively quiet and peaceful.

There were already many people in Prince Kang's Mansion and the Lin family, and with the addition of clansmen and in-laws, it was even more lively. There were operas performed every day, and the two hostesses had endless lawsuits to deal with.

Meng Yuxi's life was much simpler. Every day she would take her old father and brother to do some planting and study medicine.

The ones who are having the hardest time are probably the family heads like Wen Yujin. There is only so much space on the ship and the hull is not durable, so they can't even train their soldiers.

Every day, the three families can only take turns at staggered times to take the men in the family and their subordinates to run laps for exercise, and the rest of the time they play chess and read books. Their days are like retirement in prison.

A week passed in a flash, everyone got used to life at sea, and Meng Yuxi finally remembered her fishing gear.

"Mrs. Wen, can these things really catch sea fish?"

"Mrs. Wen, do sea fish and river fish look the same?"

"Mrs. Wen, is the sea fish delicious?"

Noticing the commotion from the Wen family, the kids from the other two families ran out, chattering and chasing after Meng Yuxi.

Meng Yuxi also replied to them in a good-tempered manner, "We should be able to catch some fish. You will know what sea fish look like when we pull up the net later. I don't know whether they are delicious or not. You will know only after you catch them and eat them!"

When she came out, she used her special powers to investigate and found that there were actually quite a lot of fish in the sea.

As for which ones are edible and which are poisonous and cannot be eaten, she really doesn't know, but her special abilities can help her choose!

It's amazing that she can use the wood-related ability like this!

"Madam, how do we cast this net?"

Wen Cheng and his men were on the deck with the fishing net, and they all looked confused. The deck was at least twenty meters away from the water surface!

Their fishing experience is limited to times of flooding in the south.

Meng Yuxi pointed to the spot that she had asked the carpenter to design and said, "Just throw the net down and tie the rope here!"

"Is this it?"

"Well, it's done! The next step is just one word: wait!"

It just so happened that the place where the net was cast was quite close to her vegetable garden. In order to eat sea fish, she also planted a lot of onions, ginger, garlic, perilla, coriander, celery and other things.

Fortunately, with the input of supernatural powers, these dishes do not need to be distinguished by season.

"Sister, please pull out two less strands. I think they can still grow longer!"

He didn't care when Meng Shixu was planting vegetables, but he felt distressed when he was picking them.

"It's okay. I still have some seeds. I'll leave some here for breeding. I can just eat them and plant more!"

Meng Yuxi said this as she pulled out a few more.

After a while, Xiaoxia and Xiaoqiu came back with a bunch of tools and brought Princess Kang and Madam Lin over.

The two looked at the pile of things and laughed, "You are someone who knows how to enjoy yourself!"

Meng Yuxi asked them to sit down and said, "This is just a problem caused by being idle! I was afraid you would laugh at me for preparing so many things before the fish even entered the net!"

Princess Kang smiled and said, "They are all useful. Even if the fish don't want to enter the net, these can be used to make a pot of noodles!"

"How can you only make one bowl of noodles with such a big event?"

However, due to the limitation of ingredients, we couldn't do anything else, so we asked Xiao Xia and Xiao Qiu to mix some paste and spread some dough. We chose two fiberless potatoes, cut them into thin strips, fried them into sour and spicy flavor, and wrapped them in dough. It was also very delicious.

It's not time for dinner yet, so everyone just eats one or two to try the flavor.

After finishing the wrapped pancake, the fishing net over there started to take in water, so Meng Yuxi asked the guards to lift up the fishing net.

"Yeah, we're lucky! The internet is busted!"

Meng Yuxi couldn't help but nod with satisfaction as she looked at the fishing net that had been pulled up. She then asked someone to throw away the poisonous fish and the fish that the blogger had said were not tasty.

Then he directed the people to deal with the fish, and called Xiao Xia: "Go and call your master up, we are going to prepare food!"

Seeing that Princess Kang and Madam Lin were about to leave, she hurriedly stopped them, "The prince and Lord Lin will definitely come with my husband. You two should just think of it as a gesture of kindness and stay with them. Otherwise, they will feel uncomfortable being the only female family member here!"

Princess Kang and Madam Lin also wanted to try these sea fish, so they did not refuse and sat down again.

They are already in the deep sea. There is no marine garbage in this era, and the fishing nets are all clean.

Meng Yuxi selected some sea fish, and asked someone to carry the rest to the kitchen for everyone to taste.

Just as the fish was carried away and the oven was not set up yet, King Kang's laughter could be heard. "I heard that Madam Wen caught a lot of sea fish. Do you mind if we come and share some of her glory?"

Seeing the men coming, several women stood up to greet them.

Meng Yuxi smiled and said, "You are most welcome! Your Majesty, you have given me such a compliment. I was just talking, and this is all thanks to Wen Cheng and the others! I don't know if this sea fish is delicious, so it's a good opportunity for us to taste it together."

After the heads of several families sat down, Meng Yuxi and the other women followed suit.

Prince Kang and his companions did not come with nothing. Prince Kang brought some tea leaves and Lord Lin brought a pot of wine.

Meng Yuxi asked Xiaoxia to remove their ordinary tea and replace it with Kangwang's good tea.

After a while, the people from the kitchen came up and she was busy arranging people to prepare a seafood feast.

In addition to deep-fried dishes, frying, steaming and baking are also available.

The table was filled with delicious seafood, but no one dared to pick up their chopsticks easily. They were really scared by the river fish in Daqi and the mutated animals from all over the place.

In the end, it was the host Wen Yujin who picked up his chopsticks and tasted it first.

"how?"

Everyone looked at him expectantly.

Wen Yujin smiled and said, "Excellent! It's dozens of times more delicious than the fresh seafood from the southern rivers!"

"true and false?"

Finally, everyone couldn't resist the tempting aroma and started eating.
