At night.
The sea breeze keeps blowing.
Ning Que was yawning.
At this time, more and more people appeared. They were men and women, young and old. Some of them carried tongs, some carried wooden buckets. They all had various tools in their hands, and when they saw Ning Que, they were all curious.
Ning Que's clothing was still in the Dafeng style, and he had no tattoos, so it was easy to tell that he was not a Yue person. However, they did not care because they knew that many Feng people came to Nanyue.
Jie Jun had personally instructed them not to cause trouble for Feng Ren. Nanyue and Ning Que were now in a cooperative relationship, and Ning Que had married Mu Ya, making him Nanyue's son-in-law.
However, they didn't know the young man in front of them was Ning Que. Some even greeted him, waving in authentic Vietnamese.
"You are a servant, right?"
"Um."
"Do you understand Vietnamese?"
"Hey, I learned it a long time ago."
Ning Que answered fluently.
With Muya's help, he could now communicate with the Yue people. However, he was still a little unfamiliar with the language, and if the Yue people spoke quickly, it would be difficult for him to understand.
"Wow, you're amazing." The old man was quite impressed and said with a smile, "Why did you come to the beach?"
"Going to the beach." Ning Que smiled and pointed to the seashore. "Today is a high tide day. We wanted to join in the fun and see if we could catch some fish."
"Is this your wife?"
"Um."
"You two are truly in love." The old Yue man smiled and said, "But you better be careful. It's not easy to catch fish at sea."
"It doesn't matter."
"Too……"
The old man nodded thoughtfully. In the eyes of the Yue people, the people of Feng were relatively wealthy. So, they came to the sea not for food, but purely for fun.
"It's almost there now."
"Let's go down and take a look."
"Um."
Ning Que walked in front, Shen Qinghe holding his hand and walking side by side. Ning Que, carrying the wooden bucket, stepped on the icy sea water and continued to move forward.
After the high tide, the beach was filled with sea fish. Ning Que didn't compete with the fishermen for the fish; his target was the oysters on the exposed rocks. Since arriving in Nanyue, Ning Que had grown tired of sea fish. The most common food in Panyu City was salted fish, and Ning Que was completely tired of it.
The Yue people saw him like this, but didn't take it to heart. Ning Que was tired of eating because he had so many options, but the Yue people didn't. They needed to stockpile enough food, and these sea fish were already a rare meat. Especially after being dried and salted, they could be preserved for a long time.
Ning Que naturally didn't want to fight them, so he ran to the reef. Seeing the tightly packed oysters, he immediately picked up his dagger and scraped them off. He certainly couldn't do it alone, so Shen Qinghe also followed to help.
"These are a lot of oysters."
“And it’s really big!”
"Hey, it's oyster time."
Ning Que smiled and began to scrape off the oysters. When he had scraped almost all of them, he stepped on the seawater and continued to collect them.
"Husband, wait a minute!"
"It looks like an octopus!"
"Don't move!"
Ning Que also noticed the octopus hiding in the puddle, swallowed his saliva, and immediately grabbed it out. The octopus was quite plump, and its tentacles clung to him frantically. Ning Que laughed heartily and tossed it into the barrel.
"This time I feel so comfortable!"
"Um!"
Shen Qinghe also nodded repeatedly.
She was also tired of eating salted fish in Panyu City, but she still liked octopus. No matter how it was cooked, the taste was quite good. The taste was very crispy and sweet, and she always liked it.
The other Yue people also cast surprised glances at him, exclaiming, "Young man, you're so lucky to have caught such a large octopus. By the way, do you Feng people eat this stuff?"
"Haha, if it's delicious, of course I'll eat it."
Ning Que smiled brightly.
After seeing that the wooden barrels were full, Ning Que smiled and said, "Okay, we're almost there."
"Um."
Shen Qinghe nodded.
Ning Que picked up the wooden barrel and said with a smile, "Qinghe, I'll be responsible for opening the oysters later, and you can help me clean them. Then we'll simmer them over low heat and try to make oyster sauce today."
"OK."
Shen Qinghe did not refuse.
Ning Que arrived at the thatched cottage and expertly set up the earthen stove and lit a fire. Using the flames, he began to open the oysters, which were indeed quite plump. Ning Que washed the octopus and tossed it directly into the pot of water. He concentrated on opening the oysters, while Shen Qinghe, not idle either, began to clean them according to Ning Que's instructions.
After everything was opened and cleaned, the octopus was already cooked. Ning Que casually ate two tentacles and then handed them to Shen Qinghe.
"You eat it first, it tastes good."
"I started making oyster sauce."
"Um."
Shen Qinghe wasn't much of a lady, so she just grabbed the octopus and started chewing on it. Honestly, she was a little hungry after being so busy. She loved octopus, so naturally, she started devouring it.
"Mmm, this octopus is delicious."
“It’s a pity that we can’t eat it in Panyu City.”
"And this thing is usually hard to catch."
"Hehe, I'll try my best to find it for you next time."
Ning Que laughed as he began to tossing the oyster meat into the pot. He chose a gentler heat instead of a high heat. Making oyster sauce wasn't just a technical skill; it was also incredibly time-consuming. Ning Que remembered someone had calculated it would take at least five or six hours. The exact time also depended on the quality of the oysters, as well as the quantity.
By the time Shen Qinghe finished eating the octopus, the water in the pot had reached a boil. Ning Que fished out all the oyster meat and tossed it back into the barrel. Seeing this, Shen Qinghe's face was filled with confusion.
"Aren't you going to make oyster sauce?"
"There's only water in the pot now..."
"Yes, that's all we need." Ning Que looked at Shen Qinghe and patiently explained, "Don't underestimate this water. The essence of the oysters is all in it. After continuous stewing, it will become oyster sauce."
"How long will that take?"
"About five or six hours."
Ning Que smiled and jokingly said, "If you're tired, you can take a rest first. Leave this to me. By the time you wake up tomorrow morning, I think the oyster sauce will be almost done."
"It's okay, I'll stay with you." Shen Qinghe didn't care at all. She just snuggled up to Ning Que and whispered, "I think you're amazing. You always have all kinds of fantastic ideas. But they're all very useful and can effectively improve people's livelihoods. If your oyster sauce succeeds, it will definitely be a good invention!"
"Haha, let's wait and see!"
