Chapter 40 Fried Salted Fish
"Clang."
Lin Yuelian's boat crashed heavily into the sea, and the loud noise attracted everyone's attention.
There was a particularly strong sea breeze before, and the boat was carried to the highest point by the wind and waves. However, there was no sea water underneath to support the boat, so the boat and the people on it crashed directly into the water.
If only a person fell into the sea, it would be fine, but the ship's force-bearing area was much larger. Lin Yue felt like her whole body was about to fall apart and her head was buzzing.
"Sister Yue!"
"Oh my God! Help, Lin Yue seems to have fainted."
"Is it thundering?"
Lin Yue fell dizzy on the boat. This time she was too proud of herself and thought she had been driving the raft safely these days. Therefore, she forgot about safety issues when she was having the excitement of testing the boat.
Lin Hongzhi was worried about his daughter, so as soon as he saw Lin Yue was in trouble, he dived into the sea and swam towards Lin Yue, his speed almost catching up with the speed of a fish.
"Girl, are you okay?"
Lin Hongzhi was trembling as he looked at his still dizzy daughter with concern.
Every time Lin Yue moved, she felt dizzy and nauseous. Now she understood how they felt about seasickness.
"It's nothing serious, just a little dizzy and a little nauseous."
"Hey, what kind of boat did they make? It's so unreliable. Your nephew Xuan'er's boat capsized. What happened to your boat just now?
There was such a loud noise that we were all scared to death, especially your mother. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have come over too."
Lin Yue took a glance and found that the quality of the boat was really good. Despite such a huge impact, the boat was not damaged or broken apart. This refreshed her understanding of ancient architecture.
It seems that this ship made of mortise and tenon joints is not much worse than one welded with steel.
"Dad, I'm fine. There will be all kinds of problems at the beginning. Everyone is doing it by trial and error. Go ashore first and change your wet clothes. Otherwise, you will easily get sick."
Seeing that his father's lips were frozen purple, Lin Yue quickly sent him away. If this continued, she would be fine, but he would be the one in trouble.
"Are you really okay? Do you want me to help pull your boat back?"
Lin Hongzhi was really worried about Lin Yue. If she lay here dizzy like this, she might fall into the sea.
"Dad, I'm really fine. Go back quickly. Your mouth is frozen purple. Why don't you go ashore and change into dry clothes? Otherwise, if you get sick, no one will take care of you.
I'm feeling much better now, and the boat isn't broken. I promise I'll be able to get to shore safely soon."
Lin Yue had half sat up, and her originally pale face looked much better.
"Okay, I'll go back first. You must come back safely later."
Lin Hongzhi saw that Lin Yue's face looked much better than before, and he was shivering from the cold. He didn't want to get really sick. Now was a critical period, and he couldn't afford to fall ill.
Lin Yue sat on the boat and watched the people on the sea capsize one by one, with wolves crying and ghosts howling. The villagers also jumped into the sea like dumplings to save people.
It seems that the quality of this ship is fine, but there are still some problems with steering, load-bearing, etc., and there are still some things that need to be improved.
Half an hour later, Lin Yue returned to the shore with a full boat of cargo. All the items that fell into the sea were retrieved, and the wooden boat was also towed ashore.
"My daughter, what are you doing? Why did you take so long to come back? If I hadn't seen you fishing and setting up the crab basket, I'm afraid your father would have jumped into the water again.
What happened to you just now? It was so loud that my heart almost stopped."
Min pulled Lin Yue to look at her with concern, with a look of luck on her face as if she had escaped a disaster. She seemed to be really scared.
"It's okay, you see I'm fine, right? It was just that the wind and waves were too strong, and the boat floated too high, and fell into the water from a great height. Do you think it would not make a big noise?
But I wasn't hurt at all on the boat. How could this little problem affect your daughter?"
After spending a few months with Min, Lin Yue discovered that as long as you don't tell her the truth, she will definitely dig deep into the matter. She will start to think about things and end up causing a lot of trouble.
If I don't tell her, she will definitely scold everyone involved in building the ship, and she will also guess whether I am injured and embarrassed to say it, and will pester me for a while.
"Are you really okay?"
"Really, look, everything is fine!"
Lin Yue turned around under her mother's suspicious gaze, trying her best to ignore the teasing looks from those around her.
"Lin Yiyan, why don't you come over and pack up the seafood your sister caught? Are you still waiting for me to serve you?"
"Hey, I'll be right there."
I was originally watching my younger sister make fun of me, but I didn't expect the war to soon shift to my son.
He didn't dare to go against his mother, so he had to quickly pack up the seafood and chase after the mother and daughter, not daring to show any resentment.
Who told him that he has the lowest status in the family now? Dai'er just found out that she is pregnant and wants her mother to help take care of his wife and child. It is not appropriate to make the person with the highest status in the family angry.
We spent the entire winter testing and modifying the ship. We also had good news on the trade route. Thanks to our previous friendship with Guo Minglang, we shared some of the profits with him and let him stock our products in his shops.
The villagers of Baixiang Village also opened up some land near their homes to grow vegetables. As for farming, the Lin family and others never thought about it at all. With so many trees, all the fertility of the land was taken away by them, and the crops grown would not bear fruit and would eventually become weeds.
"Oh my god, what's that smell? It's so stinky, vomit!"
"Auntie, what are you doing? You stink more than salted fish."
"Do you appreciate it? It smells really good. This is the dried salted fish my aunt made. It's really delicious."
When Lin Jiao woke up today, she smelled a stinky smell. She followed the smell and found her aunt frying salted fish in the kitchen.
She fell in love with it after taking one bite. If her aunt hadn't said that eating too much of this would hurt the stomach and that there were other good things that were not yet prepared, she would have eaten her fill in one go.
"Third sister, you don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Xuan Ge'er touched Lin Jiao's forehead and felt very strange. It was obviously very smelly. Could it be that the third sister's nose was broken?
"Brother, you're the one who's sick. If you don't believe me, try it yourself. Is there anything that my aunt makes that's not delicious?"
Lin Rou waved away her eldest brother's hand and handed the dried salted fish to everyone with a bit of anger and arrogance.
But they all looked disgusted, obviously wondering how such a smelly thing could be delicious. They were afraid that the third sister was playing a prank on them!
Ever since the salted fish were dried, everyone tried to avoid places where there were salted fish. At that time, I was wondering what kind of people would buy such a smelly thing, and whether it was a waste to dry so many salted fish.
“Is it really delicious?”
Lin Lang was a little hesitant. Although she trusted her aunt 100%, this thing was so smelly that she didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that she would vomit.
"Of course, sister, don't think it's unpalatable just because it stinks, but it tastes really good. I guarantee you'll want to eat more after you've had it."
Lin Jiao simply stuffed the dried salted fish into Lin Lang's mouth, leaving her no chance of regret.
