Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth is tired and crooked
Mr. Han did not dare to say a word and could only hug the teapot. The tea leaves were still there.
It's just that the busy Shui Ling doesn't know about the Han family. She is busy leading the villagers to plan how to build the city.
The first thing to build is the watchtower, which should be built on the rocky hill next to the fishing ground.
When the time comes, you can give an early warning when pirates come, and you can turn on the protection yourself. If you don't have time now, you will definitely go to the pirate stronghold and snatch it back when you have time.
When the men were building the watchtower, Shuiling and the women in the village spread the steamed beans in the house to ferment. This took six days, and they had to stir after three days.
After waiting for six days, put it into a wooden barrel, layer the beans with a layer of salt, sprinkle it with water once, put it into the barrel alternately, cover it with salt, and brew.
So soy sauce takes a long time to brew, but rice vinegar doesn’t take that long. The steamed glutinous rice is put into a vat to ferment.
She also made some rice wine, which can be drunk as a liquid, and the fermented glutinous rice can also be used for cooking.
In the evening, the oyster pryers came back. The oysters here are found on the rocks in the mangrove waters. They are not very big, about half a palm in size.
Shui Ling pried out the oysters and put them in a pot to cook. The oyster meat was used as dinner directly. The remaining liquid continued to cook. Finally, it boiled out half a barrel, which looked like ten liters. In order to make it easier to preserve, I added salt.
.
After cooling and bottling, the porcelain bottle Shuiling collected from the porcelain kiln was put to use, and one bottle weighed half a catty.
It was late at night when we did this, and no one felt tired. Instead, they felt that someone was leading them to lead a fulfilling life.
The next day, Hanye sent food, and Shuiling took him to visit the soy sauce, rice wine, and vinegar workshops.
Han Ye looked at the white porcelain bottle and asked, "What are these?"
Shui Ling took a bottle, opened the lid and handed it over, "Try it, it's a bit salty."
Han Ye dipped some in his fingers and licked it, and said with bright eyes: "What is this? I have never tasted such a delicious condiment."
Shui Ling smiled and said: "This is seafood sauce, and by the way, there is also seafood powder."
She took out the seafood powder ground with a space grinder, which contained a mixture of mushrooms, shrimps, scallops, etc., and added a little salt. This is the ancient version of MSG.
When Han Ye saw the seafood noodles, he pinched a handful and put it in his mouth. It was very salty. He drank two glasses of water before stopping, but he was very happy.
“How can I sell these?”
Shui Ling smiled faintly, "If you don't sell it, give it away. A restaurant will give you a little. Large quantities will have to wait a month."
"Ah?" Han Ye's face was filled with distress. How could he give it away for nothing?
Shui Ling smiled and said: "Do as I say. It's a gift anyway. You can also give it to your relatives and friends."
Loneliness appeared on Han Ye's face, "I don't have any friends. My fiancée broke off the engagement and got married. My mother was afraid that I would be sad and never said anything. In fact, I have heard about it a long time ago."
Shui Ling patted him on the shoulder, "Then you have to work harder."
"Yes." Han Ye nodded seriously, and left with the condiments confidently.
Shui Ling sighed, a boy of seventeen or eighteen was still a child in his previous life, but now he can get married and have children here.
She sighed again and started busy with other things.
A few days later, the watchtower was built, and Shui Ling selected people to take turns keeping watch, equipped with telescopes and horns.
Shui Ling got off the watchtower and felt that the rock mountain was very flat and wide, which was suitable for drying salt, so he had a new plan in mind.
Anyway, Qionghai City belongs to you, and it doesn't matter what you do.
A month later, Shuiling's soy sauce was ready, and the vinegar and rice wine were brewed. She sailed to deliver the goods to Hanye.
When we arrived at the dock, we found that today was different. There were not many horse-drawn carriages and very few donkey-carts.
She rented a carriage and came to the city. The streets were a little deserted. What was going on? Are there any pirates?
Before Shuiling could find Han Ye's shop, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded her.
The leader was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He said: "Are you the one pretending to be the princess?"
Shui Ling, "..." Am I pretending to be myself?
The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes asked again: "What is your name?"
"Shui Ling."
"take away."
Shui Ling did not resist and followed them to the Yamen.
There was a very gorgeous carriage parked at the gate of the Yamen. There was actually a water mark on the carriage and a bright yellow roof, symbolizing that it was a royal carriage.
The driver... I don't know, the horse... I don't know.
The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said: "Go in, the real Princess Pingle has just arrived. I didn't expect a girl like you to be so courageous, even daring to pretend to be the princess."
Shui Ling was a bit dumbfounded. Qionghai City was so shabby. Who would want the same thing? There were actually people pretending to be themselves to grab the territory.
She strode in and came to the hall.
A magistrate with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was smiling flatteringly at a girl with almond eyes and peach cheeks.
Shui Ling looked at the woman carefully. She didn't recognize her, but the woman next to her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
When the county magistrate saw Shui Ling, his face turned cold immediately, and he sat up straight. He took the gavel and slapped it, "Hey, you woman actually dare to pretend to be the princess, and you don't even kneel down to get her. Who instigated you?"
Shui Ling raised her eyebrows, "I'm afraid you can't bear my kneeling. What evidence do you have that she is the real princess?"
The county magistrate snorted coldly, "Someone, beat her until she kneels."
"Slow down." The fake princess stopped him.
Shui Ling looked at her, wondering what this person was going to say.
The fake princess said: "You are such a shameless woman. This princess was kind enough to take you in on the journey, but you actually stole my princess's token and came here to pretend to be one."
"This princess is kind and won't embarrass you. As long as you return all the tokens and treasures to me, I will let you live."
Shui Lingqi was happy, "You said you are the princess, but you should show proof."
The fake princess calmly raised her hand, and the woman beside her immediately untied the package on her body, took out an imperial edict from it, and placed it respectfully in the fake princess's hand.
The fake princess said: "I have an imperial edict, but luckily you didn't steal it."
The county magistrate quickly ran down and asked respectfully: "Princess, can I take a look at this?"
The fake princess handed over the imperial edict with respectful hands, "Please take a look."
The county magistrate also took the imperial edict with respectful hands, unfolded it and read it again. He looked at Shui Ling and said, "You are a fake. The one with the imperial edict is the real one."
Shui Ling recalled it carefully. Did he have an imperial edict? It seemed he did, but where was it thrown? He couldn't remember it at all.
When the county magistrate saw that she was ignoring him, he said angrily: "Someone, break her legs and make her kneel down."
The government officials looked at each other, and finally obeyed the order and pounced on Shuiling.
Would Shui Ling be beaten while standing? Of course not, she jumped up reflexively and kicked the four government servants away with a flying kick.
One of them hit the fake princess hard, causing a scream.
When the yamen officer realized that he had suppressed the princess, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, lying on the ground without daring to move.
