"Your benefits are amazing!" Jiang Si clapped her hands involuntarily, and then gave a thumbs up: "According to ancient records, more than 3,000 years ago, Chinese mothers on ancient Earth worried themselves sick over their children's studies, middle school entrance exams, and college entrance exams."
"Your policy is just too good, isn't it, isn't it, Agares!"
Agares, carrying a large bowl of steaming hot buns, placed them in the middle of the table, took off her apron, and sat down next to Jiang Si: "Yes, this policy is very good and worth learning from!"
“Right, right!” Quanjian said as if he had found a kindred spirit: “Jiang Jiang, Yan Liu, Prince Agares, you all think my policy is good, but the fish in my family don’t think my policy is good.”
“They contradict me every day, insisting that they won’t have children, no matter what. But if they don’t want children, the Earth’s oceans are so vast, and we only have 8.9 million. Let’s not even talk about the distant past; there are hundreds of millions of mermaids in the shallow seas of the Abel Galaxy!”
"There are hundreds of millions of mermaids, and we only have 8.9 million. As the queen, I feel ashamed of my ancestors. I have no face to meet them even after I die!"
Cangying reached out and pushed the shrimp porridge in front of Quanjian away. He glanced at the three people at the table and said solemnly, "Gentlemen, please excuse my rudeness. Don't listen to our Queen's nonsense. The birth rate of the deep-sea mermaid race on ancient Earth in the Milky Way has been higher than ever before in history."
"Only a few adult mermaids do not want to have children. The others who find a mate will have children. Children are their continuation and their inheritance. They have no objection to having children."
"But our Queen feels that one pregnancy is not enough, and two is not good either. She hopes for three or four pregnancies, and wishes that all female mermaids would have 28 eggs in one litter!"
Cangying's sudden sabotage caused Quanjian to yell, "High Priest, High Priest, what do you mean? What do you mean? How can you do this?"
"I, the Queen, have almost gone bald from worrying so much about our tribe's birth rate, and this is how you treat me..."
"Eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns!" Jiang Si picked up a steaming big steamed bun and stuffed it into Quan Jian's mouth: "Marshal Agares made and steamed these by hand. You won't find this kind of thing again, so eat up, eat up!"
Quanjian was completely blocked, the steamed bun silencing her unspoken words. She could only take a big bite, her eyes lighting up at the sight of the large, juicy bun with its thin skin. She eagerly placed a large bun in her High Priest's bowl, saying, "High Priest, High Priest, the bun is so delicious, so delicious! Try it, try it!"
"Yes, come on, have breakfast!" Jiang Si called out. "Don't be shy, besides the big steamed buns with thin skin, lots of meat and juicy filling, there are also vegetable buns, shumai, fried dough sticks, and mini pancakes, come on, come on!"
Quanjian certainly wouldn't hold back. As the saying goes, those with thick skin get to eat their fill, while those with thin skin don't get anything. Besides, she has lived in the deep sea for many years and has only eaten human food a handful of times!
Humans' hot food is far more delicious than deep-sea seaweed, kelp, sea grapes, shark meat, and krill. No wonder our ancestors thousands of years ago risked their lives to visit humans. They would do it just for the food.
Cangying was refined and elegant; even his meals were imbued with a sense of ethereal beauty. He sat there, his movements graceful, like a painting.
Yanliu was not very refined. Compared to Cangying, she was simply a rough woman; even a dog would shake its head in disgust.
Agares fed her ginger shreds gently and slowly, enjoying the rare tranquility with her and the rare opportunity to feed her.
Jiang Si is now a little useless. She just looks at things and points at them, and the food is right in front of her. All she has to do is grab a chopstick and a spoon.
Yanliu has a big appetite. Agares gets up early to run and then cooks breakfast. The breakfast she makes is very large, with 40 or 50 steamed buns alone, not to mention the other dishes.
The large round table was full; others ate from bowls, but Yanliu ate from a basin. However, Agares had miscalculated today.
Besides Yanliu, Quanjian also had a big appetite. Jiang Si and the other two were full and ready to eat, and all that was left was to pick their teeth and have some fruit after the meal. The two big eaters were still eating.
As they were eating, they noticed the three of them had stopped, so they asked if they wanted more. Once they were sure the three of them weren't eating, the tree and the mermaid sat together.
You have a steamed bun, I have a shumai; you have a mouthful of shrimp porridge, I have a mouthful of a large vegetable steamed bun; you have a mouthful of a soft-boiled egg, I have a mouthful of a small rolled pancake.
The two women devoured the food bowls in no time, leaving nothing behind, as if a dog had licked them clean!
Jiang Si swallowed hard and looked at Agares silently, saying, "It's a good thing these two are capable, have status, and are powerful. Otherwise, who could afford to feed them? They eat way too much!"
Agares smiled back at her and said, "Eat more, eat more."
After wiping his mouth, Cangying sat up straight, looking at the spring while also glancing at Jiang Si and Agares. He thought that if he found his destined partner, he would be like Marshal Agares, making delicious food for his partner and feeding it to it!
"Oh, I'm full! It was so delicious!" Quanjian slumped in his chair, rubbing his belly which hadn't bulged even after eating so much. "Beautiful Yanliu, are you full?"
Yanliu's belly wasn't bulging at all; it looked like she hadn't eaten anything. Her tummy was incredibly flat. She stood up and stretched, saying, "I'm full too. I'm going out to work and earn money. You can stay here and play."
Quanjian jumped up and said, "Let's work and earn money together, take me with you! Anyway, I don't have anything to do. I'm going to stay here with the High Priest for 5 months before going back to Earth with Jiang Jiang!"
Upon hearing this, Yanliu looked at Jiang Si and asked, "Master, is she going back with us?"
Jiang Si nodded: "She'll be in charge of the deep sea, and I'll be in charge of the land. In five months, space jump technology will be ready, and we'll be the first people to use it to reach Earth!"
"I understand!" Yan Liu suddenly realized, her eyes darting around. Driven by greed and ambition, she blurted out, "Master, could you please take a picture of me with the little mermaid and post an announcement on your account that I'm going to be making money with the little mermaid!"
"There are still more than five months left. During the day, I treat people, and at night I can do advertising shoots, model shows, and any other activities that can make money at night with the little mermaid."
"That way, I can do two jobs and earn double the money. Master, hurry up! I can stay up all night for the money!"
