Ning Pengpeng knows the meaning of the saying that people should not be judged by their appearance!
Thinking back to the time when she and Ning Laosan were fighting Wu Zha, if Baizhu hadn't been quick to strike, he would have run away in fear.
However, because he knew Baizhu's strength, Ning Pengpeng would take care of him first if there was anything good to eat along the way.
After all, with Baizhu around, everyone's safety factor has improved a lot.
Ning Laosan was once very jealous because his own mother seemed not to care for her biological son anymore!
Originally, it would take about ten days to take a carriage from Mingzhou Prefecture to Nanyue Prefecture if the speed was fast.
But this time, the five of them rode horses. Apart from resting at night, they basically drove fast during the day.
On the morning of the sixth day, we arrived at the gate of Nanyue Prefecture.
"Finally here!"
Ning Laosan almost shed tears when he saw the gate of Nanyue Prefecture.
The flesh on his inner thighs is so good that it's so worn that it's calloused!
"Xu, go find an inn to rest first. Wang Dong, go find someone."
Everyone dismounted, slowly took out the road and entered the city.
I saw that the city of Nanyue Prefecture was obviously much more dilapidated than Mingzhou Prefecture.
Ning Pengpeng was very glad that when she set out, she changed out of the silk and satin she wore in the Pei Mansion and found a set of fine cloth clothes she had made before to wear.
Even so, it is much better than seeing ragged clothes everywhere.
Ning Pengpeng and Ning Laosan changed into fine cloth clothes, but Pei Yan did not.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the city, he became the focus of many people.
Coupled with his appearance, it attracted even more attention.
Ning Pengpeng pulled Ning Laosan a few steps behind to keep distance between herself and Pei Yan.
Naturally, Pei Yan saw Ning Pengpeng's little move and almost laughed out of anger.
The group arrived at the inn, directly booked five rooms, and then asked the waiter to bring hot water and food.
The waiter brought the hot water up, but Ning Pengpeng didn't bother to inquire about the information from him, and washed her head and body first.
Along the way, she couldn't clean herself properly, and she felt like her whole body was about to stink.
Only when the waiter took the bath water away and brought some food over did Ning Pengpeng think about asking him.
"Your Majesty, I would like to know how to get to the seaside?"
Seeing the confused expression on the waiter's face, Ning Pengpeng laughed and said.
"Isn't it said that our Nanyue Prefecture is most famous for the pearls fished by haenyeo? Those pearls are fished from the sea. I haven't seen them yet, so I want to see them in the future."
Hearing what Ning Pengpeng said, the waiter suddenly realized, then shook his head and replied.
"The pearls fished by haenyeo can't be picked up casually on the beach. You also said that you have to go into the sea to find it in very deep places.
Every year, many haenyeo die trying to catch the pearls!
However, forget about you, my guest. Even the locals like us, few of us have seen the pearls in the sea.
Anyone who catches pearls has already been sent to Lord Futai's house."
"So that's it, waiter, do you know where those divers live?"
"Haenyeo naturally live in villages by the sea. Go out from the south gate, turn left when the road forks, and you will reach a fishing village.
The fish in our inn were brought to us by people from that village.
If you go there, just say that I introduced you there.
Otherwise, I’m afraid the people over there won’t pay attention to you.”
Seeing that the old lady still refused to give up, the waiter shook his head secretly, but he still pointed to the location of a fishing village and told her.
When Wang Dong came back, he also asked about the location of a fishing village, which happened to be in the opposite direction of the fishing village mentioned by the waiter.
They also brought back a young man with patched elbows and a thin, yellow face.
"Master, his name is Huisheng, he is from a fishing village near Nanyue Prefecture.
However, he often hangs out in Nanyue Mansion and is quite familiar with everywhere around Nanyue Mansion."
Huisheng carefully glanced at Pei Yan, who was sitting on the chair, and then knelt down with a thud.
"Noble sir, if you need to lead the way, I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."
Pei Yan did not comment and ordered Baizhu.
"Go and ask Mrs. Ning to come over and ask her what she means."
After all, it was Ning Pengpeng's intention to go to Nanyue Mansion, which is so quiet.
Originally, Ning Pengpeng was still thinking about trying to visit the fishing village that the waiter mentioned tomorrow.
In fact, she mainly wanted to go to the beach and look for the most important thing in Nanyue Prefecture this time, which was oysters.
She didn’t remember how MSG was made, but she still remembered the video of making oyster sauce.
It's very simple, and of course, the oyster sauce is also very delicious.
In ancient times, oysters were the most common thing for people on the seaside.
Only a little bit of oyster meat can be dug out of a large pile, and no one eats it at all.
Just now, when Ning Pengpeng asked the waiter if there were oysters in the inn, the waiter shook his head quickly, indicating that he had never heard of it.
However, after hearing Ning Pengpeng say that the oysters were similar to shells, I thought about it and directly said that if those things were the same as shells, they would be like small fish and shrimps. People here in Nanyue Prefecture would not use shell meat at all.
Cooking and selling vegetables.
After all, once the shell meat was cooked, the originally small piece of meat shrank immediately.
The shell is so big and the meat is so small, it can't be sold at a high price, and it's still weighed down.
Since oysters are also a type of shell, they should be similar to shells, right?
Therefore, Ning Pengpeng was quite happy when she heard that Pei Yan invited her over and said that she had found a guide. At least she wouldn't have to go to the fishing village with a blind eye tomorrow.
"Old lady, did you go to the fishing village to buy something?
As long as you tell me, I will definitely find a way to help you find it."
I saw Ning Pengpeng coming over. Although she was wearing fine cloth, I saw that the nobleman was very polite to Ning Pengpeng.
;/a
Huisheng cleverly kowtowed to Ning Pengpeng and then said.
His kowtow almost shocked Ning Pengpeng.
Even though she was living in ancient times, she was still very insensitive to this act of kowtowing at every turn.
"I want to find a kind of shell. You just need to take us to the beach and we will find it ourselves."
"Shells? Yes, madam."
Looking at Ning Pengpeng who was hiding away, Huisheng said thoughtfully, then he immediately came to his senses and assured Ning Pengpeng.
"You can come over early tomorrow morning and just show us the way."
Ning Pengpeng saw that he agreed and gave him instructions.
"Hey, yes, old lady."
Wison got up obediently, walked backward to the door, and then went out and went downstairs.
However, after he walked out of the inn gate, he immediately looked around and saw that no one was following him, so he started running quickly.
"What did you say? They came here for the shells?"
In a private house, several burly men with arrogant and angry faces asked Huisheng, who was smiling cautiously just now but now looked sad.
