Chapter 322： No matter what, it's still embarrassing!

Chapter 322: No matter what, it’s still embarrassing!

The villagers were shocked and stared.

“Have you seen it with your own eyes, Mr. Da? Isn’t it possible that such a big fish can swallow a person alive with just one mouth?”

“A fish as big as a house can be eaten by a boat, let alone a human being!”

"Not necessarily. How can you chew and digest the ship after it has been swallowed?"

Everyone was talking in a flurry, and when they saw that they were about to start a quarrel, the village chief knocked on the table with his pipe and pot, "What are you arguing about? Let Mr. Da tell you."

Everyone was told to shut up.

Li Zhensheng smiled and waved his hands, "Everyone is right, that kind of big fish is called a whale. It usually lives deep in the ocean. A whale is really bigger than a house, but they don't eat fishing boats, they only eat fish.

"When you encounter a school of fish, you open your big mouth and **** in, and the fish and seawater are swallowed into your stomach. Of course, we didn't go to sea and didn't see it with our own eyes, but the fishermen in Quanzhou all know this. The time is short, we only have time to look at the beach. We will go there next time and stay for a few more months. If we have the opportunity to go out to sea, we may be able to see whales with our own eyes. "

Everyone was moved when they heard it, and someone asked: "When will Mr. Da go again? He will take one of us with him, and we will also go and broaden our horizons."

"I am coming too!"

"And I!"

Seeing that most of the strong laborers in the village were about to leave, the village chief quickly poured cold water on him, "You have all gone to the beach. What will happen to your family? It's hard to survive?"

Everyone laughed and said nothing, obviously still not giving up the idea.

How many men don’t want to go out and see the outside world? !

Li Zhensheng thought for a while and said: "Everyone wants to go out and broaden their horizons. This is also a good thing, but we must not ignore it at home. Fortunately, I will visit Quanzhou often in the future. Let's do this. I will catch up in winter when I am not busy. , a few people came to the village to help me, and they rotated like this. After three or five years, everyone went there. "

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief, and the villagers also felt that it made sense, and the matter was settled.

He also talked about some customs and customs in Quanzhou. It was getting late at night and the people in the village had dispersed.

The women from each family took the dried fish, kelp and seaweed they were given, thanked the old lady, and joked and discussed how to eat them.

The night wind blew, their laughter and laughter, and the moon occasionally peeked out to watch the fun.

Li Laoer closed the front door and checked around. After seeing that there was no problem, he returned to the house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his elder brother moving a small box two feet square.

He hurried forward to help and asked: "Brother, what is installed here?"

Li Zhensheng smiled and said, "What Manager Chen gave me is probably a novelty that the Marquis ordered people to find on those overseas ships."

Li Laoer sighed, "Master Hou really has nothing to say about our family. I hope that Lao Si will stay with Mr. Hou and help him more."

The box was very light and the two brothers carried it into the house easily.

Everyone was curious and asked some questions, and Li Zhensheng answered again.

The good news was a little dozing at first, but after hearing these words, I immediately became energetic.

How could she forget such an important thing? When she quietly asked her adoptive father for help in transporting corn and potato seeds, she also brought an extra box of various vegetable seeds.

Now, this box of seeds, coated with a golden light from overseas, has finally returned to the Li family.

She quickly jumped out of her grandma's arms, ran over, and walked around the box. She was even more relieved when she saw that the seal had not been opened.

“Uncle, open it!”

Li Zhensheng took the key and quickly opened the box.

The family members were curious and looked over.

 I thought it was some rare jewelry, after all, the Marquis was particularly keen on collecting jewelry for Jiayin.

In the end, there were some small cloth bags in the box, with copper pipes hanging on the cloth bags.

Li Zhensheng took a cloth bag, opened it, and took out a handful of light black seeds, which looked like pine nuts, but were much larger. He opened the copper pipe and poured out a piece of paper, frowning as he read it.

“How come each of these characters is written half way!”

Li Laoer was curious, took the note, and read it carefully, "Does it mean that overseas people don't understand our handwriting? The writing is hard to read, and it's not complete."

As he spoke, he read with difficulty, "Melon seeds, edible, fried... until fragrant..."

Orange Mrs. Li peeled off a seed, revealing the white kernel. She threw it directly into her mouth, and everyone was shocked to stop it.

“Mom, why did you eat it? What if it’s poisonous?”

“Oh,” Old Mrs. Li waved her hand nonchalantly, “How could it be that what the Marquis found was poisonous? Didn’t the note say it was edible?”

After saying that, she urged everyone, "Look at what else is there. Don't get the notes mixed up."

Everyone saw that there was nothing unusual about the old lady, so they continued to open the bags and copper pipes.

The old lady took the opportunity to wink at her little granddaughter, which made Jiayin's face turn red and she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

Thousands of times, I actually forgot about simplified and traditional Chinese characters.

Tianwu used traditional Chinese characters here, but when she left the note, she used simplified Chinese characters.

Now in the eyes of the second uncle, isn’t it just a weird half-character? Some of the characters are even unknown!

Fortunately, the whole family was paying attention to the seeds in the box, and no one noticed anything strange about her.

“Lettuce? This should be lettuce, with green leaves. It can be stir-fried or eaten raw.”

“This is Japanese melon. It can be steamed and eaten, and can be stored for half a year.”

“This is the beautiful carrot in my heart? What does it mean to be beautiful in my heart?”

“I don’t know, but you can’t go wrong with radish!”

The family gathered around the box and worked for a long time, and finally picked out the seeds of more than a dozen kinds of vegetables.

Tao Hongying took a pack of chili seeds and dried chili peppers and tasted them carefully. It was so spicy that she inhaled, but her eyes sparkled with joy.

Based on the chef's intuition, she guessed that this must be seasoning, or a very different seasoning.

If you can grow it, you will surely be able to make many new dishes!

“Mom, let’s plant these seeds tomorrow, okay?”

It was rare for the old lady to see her fourth daughter-in-law so happy, so she quickly responded, "Of course it's okay, but I'm afraid we won't be able to plant it in our garden. I'll ask the village chief to find a good place. Maybe after planting it, these vegetables can still be grown in the future." Make money!”

“Haha, mother is right, things are rare and valuable, and they can definitely be sold for a lot of money.” Li Zhensheng reassured his mother, and then said: “When I go to Quanzhou again, I will bring more new things to my mother...”

The family has finished their fun and is about to take a rest.

Tao Hongying called Jiayi to help move the box back to her room, intending to copy the notes again.

Of course the good news will follow. If I don’t understand it, she can still make up for it.

The old lady nodded her granddaughter's forehead. When she saw her granddaughter smiling in a flattering manner, as if she was begging not to laugh, she also smiled and led the cat brother back to the house to sleep.

Tao Hongying piled the seeds on the table, laid out paper, grinded ink, and copied everything.

Jiayin lay aside and stayed with her obediently, not causing trouble at all.

Tao Hongying felt distressed and warmed when she saw it, and whispered: "Fu Niu, go to bed first. Mom will hug you after finishing writing, okay?"

"No, I'll stay with mom." Fu Niu bared her little white teeth and behaved like a good girl, prompting Tao Hongying to hug her and kiss her several times.
