Qingqiu knew her little master's temper best. He pointed to the distance and said in surprise: "Shell, what a beautiful shell!"

Sure enough, Ling Yao immediately looked in the direction she pointed and saw a red shell. Her eyes lit up and she struggled down from Dongming Ziyu's arms and shouted: "Pick it up quickly, don't let it run away."

!”

Shangguan Ruoli handed her a beautiful little basket made of rattan and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the shells won't escape."

Ling Yao took the small basket, ran towards the shell with her short legs, picked up the shell and put it into the small basket.

Qingqiu and Sassoon both followed. Shangguan Ruoli had Dongming Ziyu by his side, so they didn't need to wait on him.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at the blue sea and sighed: "It seems like we can't stop wherever we go. We should really encourage you to seize that position."

Dongming Ziyu put his hand on her waist, "Even if you sit in that position, there will be assassinations."

Shangguan Ruoli sighed, "Fortunately, those who came are not Gu Lingran's people or the gold-medal secret guards, which means that the emperor can't accommodate us. As a result, I have lost all enthusiasm for building this fiefdom."

Dongming Ziyu said in a deep voice: "This fiefdom belongs to me, and it's not that easy to take it back. Besides, since I'm here, I have to let the people here know that I'm not just a warrior who knows how to fight.

It can help them live a prosperous life. There is nothing more convincing than this."

Thinking about this, Shangguan Ruoli thought about the lives of the people in coastal villages and towns and said, "Do you think it is feasible for us to open a seafood processing plant here?"

When Dongming Ziyu heard this, his mind turned around and he roughly understood what Shangguan Ruoli meant, "Seafood processing plant? Do you mean drying the sea vegetables you just mentioned?"

"Marine fish can also be dried into dried fish, and shrimps and shellfish can be processed into dried goods and transported to the inland for sale. In this way, even people in the desert can eat food from the sea." Shangguan Ruolichun

The corners evoked a confident arc.

These things will be very marketable in the future when preservation technology is developed, let alone under such backward conditions now.

Dongming Ziyu had unconditional trust and support for Shangguan Ruoli, and nodded decisively, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you remember melting stone to make ice?"

Dongming Ziyu was shocked by the brilliance on her face, "Do you want to freeze the seafood and transport it to the mainland for sale?"

He remembered that when he was in Mozhen, he could bury the endless fish and meat in the snow and preserve it for a whole winter.

Shangguan Ruoli nodded and said: "Ice making is not a problem, but the sealing and insulation requirements for ships and cars are very high. We can open two transportation lines first, one to the capital and one to Jiangnan. There are many rich people in these two places.

, I can afford it, and I am willing to spend money on it.”

Besides, the ice-making technology must be kept secret and must be followed by trustworthy people. They don't have so many cronies to waste on transportation.

Dongming Ziyu nodded slightly, "Okay, let's open a nearby route to Jiangnan first. If it is feasible, then transport it to the capital."

In this way, the income of coastal fishermen is increased and the people in the mainland can eat something they cannot eat. Of course, they also make a fortune from it.

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "I will go back and tell the craftsmen the principles of the insulated warehouse and the insulated car, and let them do experiments! Make a sandwich between the cabin and the carriage, and fill the sandwich with cotton, sawdust or whatever."

If the journey is too long, you can make ice halfway and refreeze it. Although the taste may not be as fresh as quick-frozen ones, these are rare items in the mainland.

Fortunately, most of the craftsmen from Prince Xuan's Mansion in the capital also came with them, and they were quite handy with these research and development matters.

Ling Yao in the distance raised her little hand and waved, "Concubine, concubine, come and see, there are so many shells!"

Shangguan Ruoli raised his voice and said, "Here we come!"

Then he took Dongming Ziyu's hand and said, "Let's go dig some sea oysters, sea melon seeds, and get some seaweed back!"

Mo Wen and Mo Xiang had already brought sharp shovels and followed them with several large wooden barrels.

People here don't like shellfish that much, maybe because they don't have the cooking methods, or maybe they don't know their nutritional value, so no one picks up shellfish to sell except for making a living when they have no choice.

Every time the tide goes out, many rocks are exposed. The rocks are covered with a thick layer of oysters.

Shangguan Ruoli pointed to the oysters and said, "Just chisel them back and make fried eggs or soup. In addition, they can also be made into oyster buns, steamed or grilled."

Dongming Ziyu chuckled, "You haven't had enough of these things on the desert island?"

Shangguan Ruoli felt a discomfort in his stomach and frowned, "I've eaten enough seafood without salt and seasonings. Besides, don't you want the old man and Ling Yao to try my seafood cooking skills?"

"I love hearing this! I haven't eaten these shellfish before." After Xiao Fei finished speaking, he saw that Ling Yao's embroidered shoes were about to be soaked by the sea water, so he took out a pair of small leather boots made of shark skin from his sleeves and said hello

Said: "Little girl, put on these boots!"

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes lit up, "The old man is quite attentive. Where did he come from?"

Xiao Fei raised his eyebrows proudly, "The subordinates of Yuejun paid tribute!"

After saying that, he used Qinggong to move towards Ling Yao, "Put this on and you can wade through the water."

Dongming Ziyu smiled and said: "You, the young master, have been ignored by the old man."

"It's good to give him something to do. He doesn't go out every day like an elderly homebody, which gives me a headache." Shangguan Ruoli looked at Xiao Fei sitting on a rock, pamperingly changing Ling Yao's shoes, his lips curled up.

Raise high.

Seeing Mo Wen smash open the shell of the oyster, take out the meat and throw it into the barrel, Shangguan Ruoli quickly shouted to stop.

Mo Wen asked in surprise: "Princess, what's wrong?"

"It's not done like this. I'll show you how. I'll use these things to make delicious food for you tonight." Shangguan Ruoli walked over and showed them with a shovel, cutting off the whole oyster.

"Do you see? A complete one comes out like this. If you can't eat it, you can keep it in the sea water. It doesn't matter if the shell is broken. Just take out the meat and put it separately. Maybe there are some in these shells.

Where are the pearls?”

When Ling Yao heard this, she became energetic and cheered: "Pearls! I want to dig for pearls!"

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

She was just guessing. Even if there was a pearl in the oyster, it would be a small one. However, the pearls here are not artificially cultivated. They are all naturally formed. Even if the quality is not good, they can be ground into pearl powder and used for beauty.

It is also excellent for skin care.

Sassoon was obviously interested and asked hopefully: "Pearl? Princess, are there really pearls in this thing?"

Seeing the sparkling look in her eyes, if Shangguan Ruoli just said yes, she would be in trouble with these oysters from now on.
