Chapter 160 Seaside Fishing Village

Chapter 160 Seaside Fishing Village
King Jin looked at Yan Jiaoran looking at himself with a surprised and unbelievable expression, and thought to himself, could there be something wrong with him?

"My lord, why did you kick that cat...out?" Yan Jiaoran thought about it, but still didn't use the word "kick it away".

"That cat is wet and small. I don't know how dirty it is. How could you allow such a thing to appear in the room? Didn't the other maids notice it?" King Jin might think of this dirty cat of unknown origin. If it brings any danger to Yan Jiaoran, she can't help being angry.

When King Jin said this, the system elf version of the Persian cat had already walked to the door-according to King Jin's kick, ordinary small animals must not be able to bear it, and they might have died long ago, but the system elf is not General creatures.

However, after hearing King Jin's words, the system elves felt that it was better not to break in.

When Mu Yu and Ningshuang were called in by King Jin, the Persian cat of the system elf version happened to run past their skirts. After being taught a few words by King Jin, they stepped back carefully, looking at each other. When it came to surprise—the snow-white cat...couldn't be the one sent by the governor's family to curry favor with their princess?

However, that one also fell into the water with the princess, so it should have been drowned long ago.

Because Yan Jiaoran said a few words for them at that time, Mu Yu and Ningshuang thought it might be just a coincidence, so they didn't take it to heart.

······
Inside the room, the King of Jin looked at Yan Jiaoran disapprovingly: "This king has sympathy for those weak lives after knowing that you have a body, but this kind of thing is easy to make people sick." The account books are placed on the table.

"My lord, you think I'm too weak. The child doesn't feel it yet, so don't worry so much."

After listening to Yan Jiaoran's words, the King of Jin also quite agreed, but thinking of the old lady's repeated instructions, the King of Jin felt that he couldn't let Yan Jiaoran do whatever he wanted—cough cough, I don't know why The old lady always felt that she would do this and that, which made Jin Wang quite aggrieved these days, so as her own princess, she should also "share the joys and sorrows" with herself.

Of course, the King of Jin still knew about this kind of thing, so he took out an account book for Yan Jiaoran to read.

However, King Jin's original purpose was not for Yan Jiaoran to check the accounts.

"Is this place... very poor?" Yan Jiaoran couldn't help wondering as she flipped through the papers that were still smelling of ink, and looked at the pitifully small amount of money on them.

"That's right, this place is not suitable for farming, and because of the proximity to the sea, the rare land is also very barren, and the food and vegetables grown have a salty and bitter taste. Over time, the local people will not Live by the land, but by the sea."

Speaking of this, the King of Jin also seemed to think it was a problem: "It's just that the sea has always been dangerous, and there are very few edible things in the sea." In King Jin's view, even eating shrimp or crabs is still eating river shrimp and crabs. , As for the sea... the fishy smell is really comparable to the smell of mutton.

There are not a few people who have the idea of ​​King Jin...it should be said that the vast majority, so unless they are extremely poor, almost no one eats those creatures from the ocean.

Of course, there are people who like this, but the premise is that they have the financial resources and power to hire a cook who can make these fishy things very delicious-and there are very few cooks with such skills.

After all, who wants to spend time on a bunch of sea fish that not everyone likes to eat, and abandon the ordinary chicken, duck (river) fish that almost all Daqing people like to practice cooking?

You know, the current cooks in Daqing are all for making a living.

Because of this, even if things like sea fish are huge, people in Jianzhou in a small fishing village near the sea are more willing to exchange these big ones for pork the size of a child's fist - in their view, such a transaction is very fair of.

However, after hearing about such a transaction, Yan Jiaoran found it unbelievable.

Especially when they have already left the system... Well, some of the system spirits who have left the system are also meowing in Yan Jiaoran's mind at this time: "These people are really reckless! Of course, the more fishy the fish, the better it tastes. ! How could you give up big fish for pork!"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Yan Jiaoran's eyes, and then she subconsciously raised her eyes to look, and saw a small furry head with half-dried fur on the top of its head hanging by the window, and a pair of cat eyes of different colors radiated A light of contempt that could be called "stupid human beings just don't know what to do".

Yan Jiaoran simply didn't know what expression to use to face the system elf - she never thought that the system elf would look like this after leaving the system.Is it because of this that the system wizard is incompatible with the system?Because system sprites are getting too unreliable now?
Yan Jiaoran didn't know, but the system elves were secretly annoyed.

Because when the system elf's brainwaves were connected to the Persian cat, the troubled cat wasn't completely dead—referring to brainwave death—of course, it wasn't far off.

However, this also makes the current system elves also have a bit of a cat's habits-for example, they love to eat fish, and they also like to eat fresh fish with a strong fishy smell.After all, this Persian cat turned out to be a "foreign product". Except for Daqing, if it is not the Raksha country and foreigners who like to eat beef and mutton, or the Sunset country who likes to eat raw food such as sashimi, it does not matter whether this cat Where did the children come from? They must be used to and love to eat these fresh and delicious foods.

······
King Jin followed Yan Jiaoran's gaze, and saw the dirty cat that was kicked away by him just now was hanging on the window and looking over with his eyes open.

However, King Jin didn't have any girlish thoughts of "oh, oh, this little guy is so cute". Instead, he walked over with a calm face and closed the window with a "snap" just now. To plead for mercy, he must not want to see himself taking the cat's life.

But when King Jin turned around, he found that Yan Jiaoran had stood up and changed into a robe: "What are you going to do?"

"Of course it's a 'field trip'!" Yan Jiaoran suddenly said the words she learned when communicating with the System Elf.

"..." King Jin frowned, understanding Yan Jiaoran's thoughts, "Do you want to go to that small fishing village?"

King Jin regretted it a little.

He originally gave this account book to Yan Jiaoran because it recorded the least amount of money and things, and Yan Jiaoran could watch "relieve boredom" without getting tired, but unexpectedly, it aroused Yan Jiaoran's attention. But another thought.

When Yan Jiaoran saw King Jin frowned, she almost knew what the other party was thinking, and couldn't help being silently dissatisfied—could it be possible that she really thought she was a fragile person who couldn't be blown away?

"My lord, let's go and have a look. After a few more months, the weather will be cold and my stomach will grow. I will definitely not go out. But at that time, we can spend the winter warmly in the palace with charcoal fire. However, these fishermen still have to blow in the sea wind and struggle in the waves."

After hearing Yan Jiaoran's words, the King of Jin was silent for a long time before he said, "Could it be that you have a way to keep them from starving and freezing?"

To be honest, as the supreme ruler in Jianzhou, King Jin is naturally willing to feed and clothe the people here in Jianzhou.

However, just like the emperor was willing to let him go back to Jianzhou with confidence and boldness, Jianzhou is indeed a very barren place.

Of course, there are also people who are as rich as Tan Deduo, but this kind of "wealth" is not normal at all, and it is not what King Jin wants to see.

It's just that Tan Deduo's power in Jianzhou is deeply rooted, and it cannot be uprooted in a day or two.

And it involves "one hair will move the whole body". Although the King of Jin wanted to wipe out all the moths in Jianzhou, he also knew the truth that "the water is so clear that there are no fish", so many of the pros and cons are still unresolved. King Jin had to spend a period of time "touching" it carefully, so that he could "kill him with one blow" after he struck.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept Tan Deduo and they continued to jump up and down to disgust him now-although what they did that day was equivalent to trampling on Tan Deduo's face.

However, this is just a little interest from King Jin asking for his previous banquet.

Since he dared to let his daughter "make fun" of other men like a dancer, he probably wouldn't care about his daughter's reputation.

······
Closer to home, at this moment when Yan Jiaoran said this, the King of Jin’s heart also moved—probably because of Jianzhou’s poverty. Although many people in Jianzhou lived better than the villagers in that small fishing village, it was only a little bit. That's all.

After all, there are still various local officials who are exploited layer by layer.

If the people in the small fishing village can live a life full of food and clothing, then the people in other parts of Jianzhou will not be far behind... The most important thing is that Jianzhou has become richer, so that King Jin has the confidence to fight against the emperor .

It's not that King Jin is going to rebel or something, but at least it will make the emperor—whether he is sitting on the throne now or will be sitting on the throne in the future—think about it in his heart.

It's just that King Jin looked at Yan Jiaoran again...and didn't take her previous "rhetoric words" to heart.

After all, how many catties and taels his own princess weighs. Although Jin Wang is not fully aware of it, as a pillow person who accompanies him day and night, he must know much better than others.

It is true that Yan Jiaoran has a good brain, and the housekeeper also has a way, but this does not mean that she has any good ideas on these matters.

Probably because of the outburst of compassion - King Jin found a good reason for Yan Jiaoran's behavior.

Moreover, thinking that after a while Yan Jiaoran's belly will get bigger, she may not be able to go out for several months, and she will probably be bored by that time. Thinking that it is just right to wear it now and take advantage of her light body, King Jin thought about it for a while, Still agreed to take Yan Jiaoran to the small fishing village.

······
Because sea fish is not easy to cook and is very expensive, few people are willing to fish, and most people like to eat river fish.

If it weren't for the fact that there are still a few cooks in Daqing, these sea fish would never be bought, and the life of the people in the small fishing village would definitely not be like it is now-although they are poor, at least they will not starve to death.

However, fishing in the sea is very dangerous after all, if it is not for livelihood, who would want to go.

Yan Jiaoran was driving all the way in the carriage, looking out the window of the carriage at the people wearing tattered clothes and sallow faces, she suddenly felt a surge of emotion in her heart - they were all exchanging their lives for money.

Because of the strong wind at the seaside, even though the temperature was not low, Yan Jiaoran wore a thick hooded cloak and a veiled cap on her head—this time it was not just because of King Jin's "narrow-mindedness" "The outbreak was caused by the scorching sun at the seaside. If suddenly exposed to the sun, within a day, even the skin of a man in his prime would turn red and crack, let alone a swallow with such delicate skin and tender flesh. It's bright.

As for Jin Wang...he said that he has internal strength to protect his body, and men don't need to protect themselves so well.

Because they didn't come here specifically for inspection, they just wanted to know the real life of the people in these small fishing villages, not the lies made by the officials after they learned the news. Yan Jiaoran and King Jin were both dressed very plainly, and they didn't even bring a maid guard— —At least according to their clothes, they are nothing more than a young couple from a slightly wealthy family.

When Yan Jiaoran arrived, people from these small fishing villages were coming back from the sea. Those people were relatively big and looked more like river fish, that is to say, they looked more "normal" sea fish and packed them carefully.Turning his head, he threw the shrimps, lobsters, sea crabs, sea urchins, oysters and other shellfish or long strange-shaped things that were hooked on the net in his desires to the ground, allowing the sea water to wash and the sun to be exposed.

"Meow, they are so wasteful, these are delicious, okay?" Yan Jiaoran suddenly heard this voice, and couldn't help turning her head to look, and saw a white kitten sitting next to the wheel of the car. On the small wooden board, I don't know whether it was dried naturally or by the sea water, making it look much cuter than before.

"Why is that little animal haunted?" Jin Wang followed Yan Jiaoran's eyes and saw the kitten.

"My lord, this little cat..."

Yan Jiaoran hadn't finished speaking when she heard a voice that was almost the same as that of a system elf, but obviously less emotional: "Host, please pay attention, the main task [-] is started: build Jianzhou into a prosperous trading city. The first stage—I know the taste of the sea—improves the living environment of small fishing villages and lets them know the value of seafood.”

······
The reason why Yan Jiaoran fell into a coma immediately after falling into the water last time was not because her body was too weak, but because at that time the system had detected a small life in Yan Jiaoran's belly and carried out another System Upgrade.

After the system upgrade this time, not only "discovered" the "virus" of the self-aware system elf, but also changed the task situation.From the previous task bar to the task line.

Just like the first main task after the system upgrade is to give birth to a healthy baby, let him/her grow up in a warm and happy family, and educate him/her to be "other people's children".

Yan Jiaoran was speechless about the phrase "children from other people's family", and felt the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably even under the detailed explanation of the system wizard.

And she originally thought that she would be around the child in the future, but now there is another "main task [-]"...

Yan Jiaoran looked at the tall and handsome man beside her... So, she still has to think about this man now?

It's just that, compared to the past when she had to do it, Yan Jiaoran is much more willing now.So she changed what she was going to say: "My lord, since that kitten is following me, it must be predestined to be with me, and my lord, you see it is so small, it can't do anything to me."

By the time it can do anything to you it will be too late.

Jin Wang thought so in his heart, he couldn't bear to let Yan Jiaoran down, he just said: "Take this cat back to the mansion to check it first." Don't worry about fleas and lice, even if the water was wet before, it must be stained A lot of dirty stuff.

"Thank you, my lord." Yan Jiaoran couldn't help reaching out to hug King Jin's arm, and then reacted when he felt the other's stiff muscles, his behavior seemed to be...

But King Jin didn't pull out his hand or say it's impolite, but put his arms around Yan Jiaoran's shoulders and held her in his arms: "You can take that cat back later."

In fact, King Jin didn't want Yan Jiaoran to see these people's miserable lives anymore.

About a few hundred meters away from them, a turban with small white flowers on a blue background was wrapped around his head, covering his cheeks tightly, showing only his eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose. The girl in the cloth skirt was squinting at Yan Jiaoran and King Jin.

Seeing that they could feel their eyes looking over, the girl didn't turn her face or turned around in a cautious and uneasy manner like the residents of other small fishing villages. Jiaoran came here.

Seeing King Jin frowning, she quickly waved her hands and said something, and then found that they didn't seem to understand, so she smiled embarrassedly, and changed another way: "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything malicious, just looking at you guys. Differently dressed... Are you a businessman here to buy things or..."

The expression on the girl's face became a little strange when she said this - but she really couldn't say the word "play", after all, this small fishing village that can be seen from the beginning to the end of the village at a glance is really Nothing fancy or fun.

Without waiting for King Jin to speak, Yan Jiaoran said, "We are here to buy something. Because I have a body, my taste has become different from before, so I want to come here to buy some seafood to eat back."

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard Yan Jiaoran's voice: "Your voice is really nice, although I can't see it clearly, but you must be a big beauty, no wonder your husband dotes on you so much, you know, but very Few people know how to appreciate the sea fish here!"

The girl smiled and showed her white teeth. This kind of hearty and unaffected attitude made Yan Jiaoran like her a lot, and Jin Wang also slightly relaxed his tense nerves.

Seeing the changes in the two of them, the girl smiled more sincerely.

"Oh, what kind of fish do you want? Just tell me, I'm not bragging, don't look at me as a girl, I'm a good fisherman in our village! However, even if I don't have one, these grandpas and uncles There must be something you want in your hand, just say it!"

Perhaps King Jin and Yan Jiaoran didn't believe it, the fishermen who had been avoiding them all said in a strong dialect tone: "It's Ga, it's Ga, Ah Min is an expert here!"

"Su la su la, her fish is always the biggest!"

Hearing the unreserved and enthusiastic praise from these grandpas and uncles, the girl rubbed her nose a little embarrassedly: "Ha, haha, well, my name is Yu Min, so they and those in the town who buy fish from me are the same. Call me Amin."

"Yu Min?"

"Oh, it's the word 'Yu Min'... But I think, even though our place is far away from the emperor, we can't put this 'Yu' on the surface, so we just call it 'A Min'." Lah." The girl said without any intention, as if she was an innocent fisherman's girl.

"Oh, indeed, but these two words are very domineering..." Yan Jiaoran said naturally, without feeling anything wrong.

On the contrary, King Jin looked at Yu Min thoughtfully, but Yu Min didn't seem to notice King Jin's scrutiny at all, and he pulled Yan Jiaoran enthusiastically to introduce: "Hahaha, it's nothing, I'm just an ordinary person That’s all! By the way, what kind of fish do you want to eat? In fact, we all have a lot of fish except mine, and we are absolutely guaranteed to have enough.”

It is rare to see such customers who are willing to come to the small fishing village in person, either because they want to bargain for a cheaper price or because they have a big demand.

But Yan Jiaoran and the others don't look like the former.

Hearing Yu Min's words, other fishermen also gathered around: "Yes, yes, I caught such a big fish this morning!"

"What's your big fish? I caught a small bucket of fish here, and the taste is delicious when used to cook soup..."

"If you buy my fish, you can get one for free!"

These men talked in a hurry, hoping that their fish could be sold more, but Yan Jiaoran couldn't help but leaned into King Jin's arms - watching these people's skin get sunburned before. They must be red and shiny, and they look thin, but if you look closely, these people are thin and thin, but they seem to be full of energy, and they seem to be very explosive.

But yes, if they are really fragile, just a gust of sea breeze or a wave is enough for them to report to Lord Yan, so how can they support their families in the wind and rain?
"I want those..." Yan Jiaoran pointed at the discarded shrimp, crab and shellfish on the beach not far away without trembling in the face of these people's shining expectant eyes.

Whether it's those guys, even Yu Min's eyes widened: "Those? Those are all to be thrown away and not edible!" Is this a new hobby of the rich now?

"Why can't I eat it?! It's delicious!"

The system elf version of the Persian cat also meowed and meowed.

Yu Min looked at King Jin - are you just spoiling her like this?But... since the guests insist on asking for it, it is impossible for them to watch the white money slip away, but they just said: "Some people have eaten it, and it is very unpalatable, and many people have dysentery after eating it."

"That's why they don't know how to do it? It's okay, thank you for your kindness, but I know how to measure it," Yan Jiaoran said without any guilt, relying on the "support" of the system, "And, I really I really want to eat, my husband."

Being acted like a baby by Yan Jiaoran in front of other people greatly inflated King Jin's vanity. Although he didn't show anything on his face, he already nodded: "Buy it if you like it." Feed the white cat—it's okay to die.

The system elf only felt a gust of cold air rushing from the tip of its tail.

Seeing that Yan Jiaoran had made up his mind, Yu Min and the men collected all the "trash" that they still posted on the Internet, and there was a big bag.In addition, Yan Jiaoran also picked several big fish, and the ones that were specially picked were relatively strange in appearance.

Naturally, Yan Jiaoran or King Jin would not take so many things back, and it was impossible to put such a big smell in the carriage.Therefore, the king of Jin sent the bodyguard brother who was a part-time coachman to transport the bag back to the mansion first-they didn't really come here just to buy these "trash".

Yan Jiaoran just finished talking to the guard brother and went back to soak these things in water with a small amount of salt, then turned her head and met a pair of bright eyes: "You seem to be very good at making these things ? Would you like to let me have a bite?"

Yu Min, who had been smiling just now, finally changed his face at this moment, and said solemnly: "Qin Xiaotong! Come here!"

The girl with an innocent little face turned a deaf ear to it, and still looked at Yan Jiaoran expectantly: "If you let me taste it, I will help you figure out who the old friend who is about to come to your house is." Yo~ Absolutely innocent yo~"
