Lenggong Prince Farming Story

Outside the east gate of Nanhai City, the capital of Xia Kingdom, there is a river flowing towards the sea.The river flows continuously except for the cold winter. Because of its subtropical climate, the rainfall is abundant. The aquatic organisms in the river once flooded because most people in the Xia Kingdom do not like to eat and the distance from the sea. It is said that In summer, when the water rises, you can see many aquatic creatures stranded on the beach along the river.There are countless fish, shrimp and shellfish.

If this phenomenon is placed in modern times, it goes without saying that people will spontaneously loot it.

But this imagination is placed here.In a strange world?Therefore, unless someone really can't make it through, no one will pick up the stranded fish and shrimp.

Xia Yu Tianyan also introduced earlier that there are more and more strange beasts in this world, and when hunting in the forest, the most common ones are also strange beasts.

As long as it is a strange beast, it is difficult for ordinary civilians to hunt it. Well, it is not so difficult as it is impossible to hunt it at all.If they were hunted by force, most of the dead would be humans themselves.

When the crops are only potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava and some wild vegetables, and there are only pheasants and hares in farming.You can imagine how hard the lives of civilians are.

Now it is about to face ten months of winter. For civilians, this will undoubtedly cut off their way of life.After all, in normal times, especially in spring, summer and autumn, when they have no food, they can be replaced by creatures in the water. It doesn't matter if it smells bad, as long as they don't starve to death.But now, in the long winter, the river will be frozen, where will they go to find new things.

There are at least five or six villages and two small towns on this river outside Xia Guodu.for life.In order to be able to see next spring, these people are fishing together, hoping to sell some at today's Autumn Harvest Festival, so as to exchange for other food and warmth.

It's just that the aquatic creatures are really smelly. When they came to the gate of the city, the gatekeeper didn't even let them in.

Therefore, when Xiao Xiao and Xia Yutianyan came over, what they saw was a long trip to Yusi 100 meters away from the city gate.

Really, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fish shop.On both sides of the road into the city gate, there are fish stalls on the road for hundreds of meters.Or on large leafy plants, or in a basket, or in a pot, or strung with straw rope...

There are also many types of fish, including river fish and sea fish.Probably due to the terrain, there are more river fish, grass carp, carp, silver carp, crucian carp and black carp account for the majority.

However, most of them are also fish. Apart from fish, other shrimps, shellfish, and crabs are at most obtained by some fishermen to be added to the fishmen.

Xiao Xiao doesn't know how the fish production here is, but judging from the stalls of these fish sellers, it seems that there are quite a lot of fish.It is not counted at all.

"Father, didn't you say that people here don't eat fish?" Xiao Xiao asked Xia Yu Tianyan in a low voice.

Xia Yutianyan nodded, and guessed the reason with just one glance, "These people just want to sell these fish in exchange for other food."

Bai Xiaoyao followed behind, and because of his relationship with martial arts practitioners, he naturally heard what the two of them had to say.Then he said: "If these fish meat can also be stored like meat...."

"Why not?"

"Can?"

Pork, chicken, and rabbit meat can all be made into dried meat and bacon for preservation.Of course, these fish can also be made into salted fish and dried fish for preservation.Why don't you think those dried and salted fish in my house are for? "

"..." Bai Xiaoyao obviously didn't expect that, that's right, when Xiao Xiao pickled salted and smoked fish, this person was not present.Of course, Xiyue and the others are not obliged to explain this to him.

Bai Xiaoyao was silent for a while, and then said again: "Actually, there is another reason, these fish are too fishy!"

"Fart! You also ate the fish fillets, shrimps and snails I made, do you think it's fishy?"

"Very fragrant!" Bai Xiaoyao was the only way to describe Xiao Xiao's fish and other aquatic delicacies.

The business of selling fish was really bad. Xiao Xiao and others walked along and saw many passers-by covering their noses and walking quickly because of the fishy smell. Few people stopped in their tracks.Even if they stopped, they were just civilians dressed like the murlocs.There are really very few people who dress like them.

Looking at the faces looking forward to it.Or the old man, or the young man, or the dark man, or the woman...  

The hopes of these people fell into despair after people left quickly again and again.

"How do you sell these?" Xiao Xiao stopped in front of a fish and shrimp stall.The stall owner was a young man, who looked about the same age as Xiao Xiao's current appearance, but he was darker and thinner. The most visible thing on his entire face was his pair of big dark eyes.Or it is also because the stall owner is a young man, so besides the most miscellaneous things on his stall, there are all kinds of fish. Compared with the big fish at other fish stalls, he has a large basket of serious big fish here. , the other basket is loach, rice field eel, eel, etc. Not counting these, there are some extras like other fish stalls, such as river prawns, fresh shellfish and crabs.Unbelievable, this kid even caught the old turtle!This is a good thing!

When Xiao Xiao saw the old turtle, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Xia Yu Tianyan.Thinking of some Zhixi, the old man blushed and turned away.

The young fish seller here is very nervous when he sees the well-dressed people asking about his fish.Originally, he had no hope. After all, his stuff was much worse than others.For a moment, I was so nervous that I couldn't speak.

"This is, this is not for sale..."

"Ah..." Xiao Xiao looked at the other party.Wait for the other person to speak clearly.

Seeing Xiao Xiao was silent, the other party realized that what he said was wrong, he became more nervous, took a deep breath, and said with a look of death: "No, no, I mean, this is not for sale, if you buy mine Fish, I will give you some."

Xiao Xiao nodded, in fact, he had already seen what it meant from the boy's expression.

Looking at the other party's fish, it seems to be much worse than other stalls.But it's the kind of kid that's expensive.Things like loaches, eels, and eels are all good things.

He doesn't want any other fish.Most of the carp are fresh, although there is no water, but it can be seen that these fish were fresh before coming here.Most of the fish are still alive by now.

"Tian Yan." Xiao Xiao knew that he might be a woman, but seeing the envious eyes these people cast on the young man, he really felt that he had to do something.

"Baby, do whatever you want."

"En." Seeing the smile in the corner of Xia Yutianyan's eyes, Xiao Xiao turned around confidently and said to the young man, "I don't want to buy your fish, I just want these..." After saying the first half of the sentence, the young man originally His face turned red with excitement, and he was already pale, but after saying the second half of the sentence, the boy was stunned, "...I want the ones in this basket, these shrimps, and these six big guys. But , if you sell all the shrimp to me, I can tell you a delicious way to cook the fish, so that your fish can be sold at a better price. How about it?"

"Really, really?" The boy couldn't believe it, but he was still looking forward to it.After all, the other party not only bought his things that others thought could not be sold, but also told him how to cook delicious fish. This, this is the other party's helping him!

"Of course." Xiao Xiao said confidently, some people from the fish stalls that were close to the boy's stall, at this time, also because they heard Xiao Xiao's words, they all looked over.

Xiao Xiao looked around.These people seemed to have made up their minds not to go home for lunch, and there was a lot of firewood behind the fish stall, probably preparing to grill fish or cook soup when they were hungry. "You kill a fish now, and I'll help you handle it, while you watch."

The boy was stunned for a while, but thought that this might be the only way to sell the fish, so he acted immediately. There was a river outside the east gate, so the boy cleaned up the fish in a short while.

Xiao Xiao asked the other party to take out the salt, wipe it on the cleaned fish, put it aside, and then brought the juvenile's clay pot filled with water, and filled it with water.Xiang Bai Xiaoyao took ginger (as a doctor, this guy always carries a medicine bag when he goes out).

"Do you know this thing?"

The boy seriously looked at the things in Xiao Xiao's hand and nodded.

"Medicine... Ginger"

"Well. It is not only a medicine, but it can also remove the fishy smell. When you cook fish in the future, in addition to removing all the black clothes from the belly of the fish as I taught you just now, after washing the fish, Pickle with salt for a while."

"Ah."

"If there is wine at home, you can also put some wine, and the wine can also remove the smell." Xiao Xiao pointed to the basket of shrimps with a smile, "This is also edible."

"Well, bake it and eat it, it's delicious."

"No..." Uh!It seems that people here don't know how to cook.Xiao smiled blackly and looked at Xia Yu Tianyan and Bai Xiaoyao on the side.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yutianyan responded to him.

"None of them know how to cook."

"..." That's true, people here eat roast meat, vegetarian, and no one knows how to stir-fry vegetables.

"Since you've taught them how to remove the fishy smell, why not just teach them how to cook. After that, they won't be limited to roasting and boiling meat."

"It's easy to say, I want to teach, but I don't have oil!"

"Oil?" Bai Xiaoyao was stumped now, he only knew that there was oil on animal meat, but he didn't know how to get it.

"If you can get me a piece of porcupine meat now, I can get oil."

"Just a piece of porcupine pork?" Bai Xiaoyao asked with certainty.

"Yes. It's the white meat of a porcupine. The red one has no oil."

"Okay, then wait a minute. I'll come as soon as I go. By the way, do you need wine?"

"Of course, hey! It's the best you can get. The shrimp I made is for you to eat."

"Haha! Dian..., cough cough! Alright, wait a moment." Bai Xiaoyao said, and flew into the city.
