Chapter 458 Shrimp Cake

Wen Zhenyi could only answer their questions one by one when she saw them. She looked for a long time but didn't see Ji Shuang: "Where's Xiao Shuang?"

"Xiao Shuang and Hai Wa are married and now live in Hougang Village."

"I also missed their wedding."

"What's the matter? Just sit down and rest for a while. I'll bring you some food."

Wen Zhenyi pulled Qin Xing to sit down: "How many months?"

"Five months."

"Xiao Shuang is not in the store. If I'm not here, you won't go and buy two people?"

"We are all too busy to use it."

"You're pregnant now, so it's not like you won't need them. I'll have the dental office send two people over later."

"Miss, that's really not necessary."

"I have the final say, and you have the final say."

Qin Xing lost his temper: "You decide."

The two of them had a quick bite to eat, as there wasn't much of a problem with the food in the store.

Shen Hanxing and Ji Hongguang checked the accounts and the silver.

Wen Zhenyi went to the pawnshop and brought back two people, handing them over to Aunt Qin.

Aunt Ji began to teach them what to do.

Wen Zhenyi saw Uncle Ji washing dishes and walked over to help: "Uncle Ji, how have you been these days?"

"Miss, please don't stretch out your hand. I'll do this."

"fine."

Uncle Ji smiled innocently, "During the time you were away, the town has changed a lot. A lot of people have come here, and the prices of houses and shops in the town have gone up a lot."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, the city wall is also starting to extend outward. I heard that several villages near Xinglin Village will be included in the town's scope."

"This isn't something that can be accomplished in a short period of time. Let Mayor Meng handle it."

Shen Hanxing has finished checking the accounts: "Yi Yi, let's go back."

Wen Zhenyi helped move all the dishes into the kitchen and put them in a big pot to cook. Then he said something to Aunt Ji and the others and left the shop.

Wen Yongman was also busy as soon as he returned to the village. He went to every workshop and shop, checked the accounts, and verified the amount of money in and out during this period.

Shen Hanxing and the others did find time to help him, but most of the time, they were busy with their own things.

Feng Qianlan and Wenwen did not come back this time and stayed in the county town.

Before they came back, Wen Yongnan asked Shen Hanxing to give the two children a formal name, so that they would be able to use it when they went to school.

Shen Hanxing thought for a long time before naming the two children Wen Junlin and Wen Junhao.

As for their happy family, it is still early for the two children to go to school, so there is no rush to give them full names, and they can just call them by their nicknames first.

Wen Zhenyi and Wen Yongman discussed it and decided that merchants who wanted to open franchise stores would come to Xinglin Village to find them in a month.

When going to Hougang Village, Wen Zhenyi brought Old Lady Wen and the others with him.

Mr. Shen is now old and no longer teaches in the private school. He is taken by her to wander around.

Old Man Wen was a little curious: "Yi Yi, what are you doing in Hougang Village?"

"Hougang Village is now raising a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs, and I have to go and help them solve their problems. I originally wanted them to raise oysters, and now I have to help them solve their oyster farming problems as well."

"Can these oysters be cultivated?"

"Yes, we can, but we still need to resolve some issues."

Shen Xiucai stroked his beard with a smile. Every time he went somewhere with her, there would be different surprises.

Ji Shuang and the others had received the news that Wen Zhenyi was coming, and had been waiting at the village entrance very early.

As soon as Wen Zhen jumped off the carriage, he saw them waving at him: "What are you doing standing here in such hot weather?"

Ji Shuang's cheeks were covered with sweat, and he ran towards her: "We are waiting for you."

"Why don't you find a shady place?"

"I'm just afraid you won't see it."

Haiwa and the others also came over: "Mrs. Shen."

"Don't be polite, everyone. This isn't the first time we've met. I want to go see the farmed fish, shrimp, and crabs."

Village Chief Haiyun led them to the beach. In the distance, they could see some bamboo poles sticking out from the sea. "It must have taken quite a bit of effort to build this net."

"It's not that bad, but we have to switch people back and forth to get some air, otherwise there's really nothing we can do."

“Very impressive.”

The villagers felt a little embarrassed when she praised them.

Wen Zhenyi could see the fish swimming in the net even from the beach, and it felt like he could easily catch one: "That's a lot of fish."

Huanhuanxi had long been attracted by the beach and the blue sea.

Old Mrs. Wen took off their shoes and socks and let them walk on the beach with their bare feet.

The children from Hougang Village came running over to play with them.

Haiwa knew that Wen Zhenyi and the others had something to say: "I'll watch them."

Wen Zhenyi looked at the children and said, "Don't go to dangerous places. If you behave well, I will make you something delicious."

"Okay." The children agreed happily.

They knew that every time Mrs. Shen came, she would either bring them delicious food or cook delicious food for them.

When Wen Zhenyi saw the children go out to play, he said to Village Chief Haiyun, "I may have to stay here for a while."

When Village Chief Haiyun heard this, he immediately nodded happily: "Okay, okay, I'll have someone clean up a few rooms."

Wen Zhen looked at what they had prepared. The bamboo had already been piled on the beach, and the rope she wanted was also piled there.

Village Chief Haiyun came over and said, “Mrs. Shen, do you think this is enough?”

"Not enough, but you have a lot to do next. Divide everyone into several groups. One group will continue to cut bamboo, and another group will make bamboo rafts."

"The bamboo raft we used to cross the river?"

"No, I'll give you the blueprints later, and then you can follow them."

Wen Zhenyi had asked Chen Hanxing to draw these drawings in advance.

Village Chief Haiyun nodded: "Okay, what should the other group do?"

"Another group followed me to make shrimp cakes."

“What are shrimp cakes?”

“The most important thing about raising oysters.”

"Okay, I'll divide the work among the people."

The earliest cement was made by mixing the remaining soup after cooking glutinous rice with lime slurry containing gravel and clay, using the viscosity of starch to increase the strength of the lime slurry.

Wen Zhenyi didn't know if this method would work, but he could give it a try.

She asked people to buy a lot of glutinous rice and started steaming it. However, she did not waste the glutinous rice. She used it to make food and vinegar.

Wen Zhenyi poured the mixed mud into the middle of a rope with a small spatula, making it look like a shrimp cake.

Village chief Haiyun also asked the villagers to buy a lot of tung oil cloth and put up sunshades on the beach so that everyone could feel cooler when working on the beach.

Huanhuan and Xixi have been having fun these days, and the two fair-skinned children have gotten a little tanned recently.
