Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 295: Bouncing Abalone

"I have to find a new balance point." Zhang Jingyi said, "This really requires careful study."

Elizabeth nodded. "This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible! Food for thousands of people must be provided every day, otherwise they will all riot in a blink of an eye, and we won't be able to pause and think of a solution."

"Hmm!" Zhang Jingyi said, "Let me think... the knowledge of the elves is very vast, especially that old elf lady, who has lived for more than 800 years. She should know every aspect of your world. I will go and ask her if there is any way to obtain a large amount of food."

Elizabeth: “Okay!”

The two opened the portal and were transported to a seaside pier some distance away from the Elf Village...

There is an "anti-space magic" magic circle in the Elf Village. The portal cannot be opened directly into the village. It must be opened to a place far away from the Elf Village and then passed through in the normal way.

So Zhang Jingyi built a small pier on the seashore some distance away from the Elf Village and placed a "Zhang Jingyi Warship" there.

The purple portal suddenly opened at the dock...

Zhang Jingyi walked out of the door.

Before he could take in the scenery clearly, as soon as he walked out the door, he saw a huge wave coming towards him.

"Fuck me!"

Because the location of the portal was in his controlled area, Zhang Jingyi felt very confident when he passed through the portal. He was not on guard at all. When the huge wave came, he didn't even have time to react and was knocked to the ground with a bang.

Then Elizabeth came through.

But when she came over, the wave had passed, and she was fine, except for her shoes being wet. Looking down at Zhang Jingyi, she saw that he was completely soaked, lying flat on the ground, with two pieces of seaweed hanging from his body.

Elizabeth giggled, "See, this is why the mages here don't like to use portals and prefer to walk on their feet. Hubby, you like to play with portals too much. You always want to use a portal wherever you go, and that's why you always run into this kind of thing."

Zhang Jingyi: "Okay, I'm a mountain rat born and raised in Shuangqing City. I don't know much about the power of the sea. Don't open the portal too close to the sea in the future."

"The waves are coming again." Elizabeth waved her hand, [Ice Shield], an ice shield unfolded beside her, and the waves came, but were blocked by the ice shield with a crash.

But Zhang Jingyi couldn't use magic so smoothly, so he stood up quickly and opened his arms to the waves: "Great!"

"Wow!"

The waves hit him again...

There are two more pieces of kelp on my body.

"Be careful." Elizabeth suddenly shouted, "Something is coming."

Zhang Jingyi: “?”

He looked forward and saw a strange object in the waves, as big as a washbasin, coming towards him. At first glance he thought it was a stone as big as a washbasin, but when he looked closely he found that it seemed to be a large shell, hitting his head.

Zhang Jingyi took a step sideways and dodged. The shell, as big as a washbasin, missed its attack and fell to the ground. The tentacles actually touched the ground, bounced up again, and hit Zhang Jingyi's head again.

However, its movements were not very agile. Without the help of the waves, its attack seemed very slow. Zhang Jingyi frowned and stepped aside: "What on earth is this thing?" Elizabeth: "I don't know! Some kind of strange sea monster. I don't know much and don't recognize it. I have to call the elves to take a look."

As the two of them were talking here, the cry of a dragon eagle was heard above their heads. A light and frail dragon eagle archer lady shouted from above their heads, "Dear guest, please move aside. I will take care of it."

After saying that, a powerful arrow flew down from the sky and hit the monster's shell with a puff.

The arrow failed to penetrate the armor and was deflected by the shell.

But the dragon eagle archer was obviously prepared. She descended rapidly from the sky, suddenly jumped off the dragon eagle's back, somersaulted in the air, and stepped on the monster's shell with both feet downwards.

The force of the fall from a great height was so great that with a bang, the shelled monster was crushed to the ground, unable to move.

She then bowed to Zhang Jingyi and Elizabeth and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, my dear guests. This is a marine monster that is unique to this section of the west coast. It's called the bouncing abalone. It's a type of abalone, but it's bigger than the average abalone. It will jump out of the water to attack humans and animals, knocking them unconscious before dragging them to the bottom of the sea and eating them. If it misses a collision, it will bounce off the ground and try again. If it fails to hit the target, it will keep bouncing back and forth, hence the name bouncing abalone."

Zhang Jingyi: "Oh my god, what the hell is this."

The Dragon Eagle Archer said: "Although it is quite bad, it is delicious, and more delicious than ordinary abalone."

After saying that, she pulled out a small dagger and cut off all the tentacles of the abalone with a few strokes. She smiled and said, "After cutting off the tentacles, it will be the same as ordinary abalone. It will no longer have the ability to bounce up and hit people. It will become a good dish."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Dragon Eagle Archer: "I will bring it back and cook it for you to taste."

After saying that, she squatted down and moved the bouncy abalone.

But this thing is as big as a washbasin. The shells and the solid abalone meat make it very heavy, at least forty or fifty kilograms. The light and lithe elf girl actually has a bit of difficulty holding it with both hands.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Let men do the rough and heavy work."

He walked over and picked up the abalone, observing it carefully. After cutting off its tentacles, it looked exactly like the abalone in his own world, with no discernible difference.

He suddenly had an idea: "Sister Elf, do you have many of these bouncy abalones here?"

"A lot!" said the Dragon Eagle Archer. "The entire west coast is full of these things. There are too many to count."

Zhang Jingyi: "If it's delicious, why don't people come to catch it when there are so many?"

The Dragon Eagle Archer smiled shyly: "Its taste is based on the premise of using a lot of spices. If there are not enough spices, it will not taste good. That's why few people come to catch it."

Zhang Jingyi understood it all at once!
In fact, this thing has happened in my own world. For example, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the extremely scarce materials, ordinary people had no seasonings at home. At that time, no one caught the clams in the river, the creeks were full of crabs and no one ate them, the fields were full of eels and loaches, frogs dared to jump on people's faces, and snails basked in the sun... Even the poorest people disdained to eat them.

But later, when everyone had no shortage of seasonings, could you still find them in the fields? Huangshan and loach can be eaten in 32 ways.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "I understand. Spices are too expensive, more valuable than gold, and this abalone needs to be eaten with spices, so ordinary people can't afford it at all."
