Chapter 91 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (40)

  Xu Yin played with the conch shell and asked casually, "When will our ship come back?"

  Yan Kejin calculated the time: "It's almost a few days."

   Just as he was talking, there was a noise from the direction of the pier. It seemed that a fishing boat was docking.

   "Let's go and have a look too." Xu Yin dragged him to the pier to join in the fun.

   It was indeed a merchant's fishing boat returning from the sea, and the unloaded fish almost filled the entire pier.

  Xu Yin doesn’t know many sea fish, but she has seen three kinds here—wild large yellow croaker that is almost extinct in later generations, mackerel suitable for making fish balls, and grouper with delicate meat.

   "We want these few!"

  She picked out the sea fish in a happy mood, and turned her head to find that the guards were all driven by Yan Kejin to pick shells, miscellaneous fish, shrimps and crabs.

  Probably because of the delicious warm pot dinner yesterday, they had endless aftertaste, and they wished to wrap up the miscellaneous fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish here.

   "..."

  She helped her forehead: "Don't pick too much, let's eat differently today."

   "Didn't you say that big fish is not tasty?" Yan Kejin turned her head to look at her, "You decide what you want to eat, don't be embarrassed."

   "...Uh, it's not that it's not delicious, it depends on the fish and how it's cooked. The ones I picked are absolutely delicious. Shells have the charm of shells, and fish have the taste of fish. There is no comparison between the two."

  Yan Kejin: "..." That's not what you said yesterday!

  Xu Yin smiled at him: "It's easy to get tired of eating shells, shrimps and crabs. Today's fish is very fresh. Let's eat it differently? I guarantee you will like it!"

   The guards saw that the princess wanted to eat fish today, instead of eating the seafood steamer yesterday. Although they felt a little disappointed, they still actively picked and carried fish.

  Back to the other courtyard, Xu Yin asked Caiqing to make large yellow croaker and grouper, yellow croaker sweet and sour, grouper scallion oil, and she came to make fish balls.

   "Sweet and sour?"

  Caiqing does not do this. The most common sea fish in the big kitchen is steamed with sauce.

  Xu Yin: "..."

   All right, sweet and sour yellow croaker is here too!

   Fortunately, Caiqing has quick hands and feet, and can do everything quickly. This time, she was chosen to accompany her because of this.

  When Xu Yin came out after changing into a set of clothes that were convenient for cooking, Caiqing had already packed up all the fish to be cooked at noon.

   Seeing her high efficiency, Xu Yin asked with a smile, "Do you want to learn how to make fish **** from me?"

   "Is it okay for a slave?" Cai Qing was flattered.

   "Of course! This is not a secret recipe, just read it once."

  She explained while making it, and when the first batch of fish **** were ready, Caiqing scooped up another mackerel with great eyesight and said, "I will try this one again!"

  The fish **** made by the princess must be given to the prince.

   She cooks what other people eat.

   "It's okay to make more, other methods of mackerel are not as good as fish balls."

  Xu Yin didn't think much, staring at the white and fat fish **** floating on the water in the pot, and smiled with satisfaction.

  It seems that centuries have passed since the last time I made fish balls. Fortunately, my hands are not raw.

  At noon that day, everyone had a bowl of fish ball soup for lunch, and then shared a dish of grouper with scallion oil, a dish of sweet and sour large yellow croaker, and a few dishes of seasonal fresh vegetables.

  Xu Yin tasted the sweet and sour large yellow croaker made by Caiqing with chopsticks, and gave a thumbs up: "This is the first time I make it, it's so good!"

  Caiqing's face was flushed by the princess' praise, and she happily picked up the plate and went to deliver food to the guards.

  The guards were still reminiscing about the seafood steamer last night, smelling the sweet aroma of sweet and sour yellow croaker, shrugging their noses: "What dish is so fragrant?"

   It looked like sea fish, but it was not the same as the cooks in the house.

  Take a sip, eh! It's so delicious that I can't stop chopsticks.

Everyone scrambled for each other, and quickly finished off a plate of sweet and sour yellow croaker. Yan Shiba, the last one who put down his chopsticks, saw that the fish was gone. The vinaigrette was all gone.

   "Eighteen, why are you so clever at this time? Going out on errands with such cleverness, you won't always be cut off by Seventh Brother."

   "Hey... this fish sauce bibimbap is delicious!"

   "..."

   This kid is still thinking about it!

  The other guards were two or three years older than him, unable to grab the plate, so they took a sip of the fish ball soup with a grumpy face, and it became addictive again.

   "This is the fish ball that the princess said? It's **** delicious!"

   "The fish ball soup is so delicious!"

   "Drink this soup after eating sweet and sour fish, it's absolutely amazing!"

   Fortunately, the fish ball soup is divided. Each person has a bowl of soup and three fish balls. Although each fish ball is as big as a ping-pong ball, I still don’t feel it’s enough. Let’s smash it and guess what the next meal will be.

  The dishes made by the princess are really delicious! They were so lucky that they were lucky enough to eat the seafood cooked by the princess, which they had never tasted before.

What? Didn't the princess make this meal today? Did the princess teach the little maid to do it?

   It's okay, it doesn't matter!

  If there is no princess, how would they know that sea fish can still eat like this?

   Not only sea fish, but also shells that were overlooked in the past, can make a table of delicious and delicious meals... Let alone, I will chat with my brothers when I go back!

  …

  During her stay in Qin County, Xu Yin enjoyed a long-lost leisurely vacation.

  Watch the sunrise in Xiulou every morning, and watch the sunset in the evening. When there is no wind, I will go for a walk by the beach.

  When a fishing boat docks, pick some interesting seafood and go back, and do what you want to eat.

   Within a few days, the big ship from Wangfu finally returned.

The gold coins and silver dollars, pearls and agates, and local specialties obtained from foreign exchanges, which were snatched from the pirates’ dens, were crowded and packed into two cargo holds, one large and one small, and the fish caught along the way filled the two decks in the sun. A real rewarding experience!

  The guards all had excited smiles on their faces.

  The fear of the unknown journey when setting sail has been completely replaced by the high-spirited spirit of fighting pirates and visiting foreign countries in the past half a year.

   "My lord, it's a good luck that my subordinates are not disgraceful!"

  The returning soldiers knelt down on one knee towards Yan Kejin.

   "It's good to come back safely, and you will be rewarded for your merits later."

   It should be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

  Since coming to Nanman, the hardships and efforts that everyone has put in cannot be summed up in words.

  Xu Yin looked back on Zong Zong in the past two years, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.

The emperor probably never dreamed that the son who was erected by him, then destroyed by himself, and thrown far away when he was not enough, and wished not to see each other in this life, would change (make) the world (make) the earth in this small world .

  If you really want to talk about rewards for meritorious deeds, not to mention the current prince, but the emperor, the old man, the achievements during his reign may not be as great as Yan Kejin's contributions in the past two years.

   For the next few days, Yan Kejin stayed in the study, listening to the guards' detailed reports on how to defeat the pirates, how to find foreign countries to make deals with, and made a detailed maritime map of the places visited during this trip.

  People who go to sea in the future will have a clear sailing direction with this map, instead of fumbling while sailing, which is inevitable for the first few days.

Until I met a group of pirates who didn't have long eyes, and they robbed them instead. I found a map on the pirate ship, and I immediately had a direction. After that, I learned the way of pirates and drew the places I visited in detail. down.

  Yan Kejin looked at the map they drew, and then at the map found on the pirate ship, and suddenly became enlightened.

  It turns out that there are so many lands and islands beyond the continents?

  Xu Yin pursed her lips and snickered: Has the prince opened the door to a new world?
