Feng Yuwei's gaze fell on Su Jiaoniang: "Madam, do you have any other ideas, or have you seen other high-yield grains?"
"I've met you!"
"Where?" Feng Yuwei immediately became interested.
Anyone who has been to school.
Anyone who has ever worried about the people's well-being.
They all value food very much.
This is the foundation of life.
You need to be well-fed to survive!
“I’ve seen it, in my dream!” Su Jiaoniang said, and the expectation in Feng Yuwei’s eyes vanished.
In my dream!
In his dream, he also saw rice planted in the sea, with particularly large and plump grains.
Who doesn't dream?
The three continued on their way!
Su Jiaoniang sat in the carriage, took out a hardcover book from her bundle, and pulled out the hairpin she used to tie her hair. When she turned the hairpin, black charcoal spun out from it.
The little girl stared at Su Jiaoniang in shock: "Mother, what is this?!"
"This is a spinning pencil. If you like it, your mother will make it for you when we get to Qi!"
"Okay, okay!" Little Ya nodded immediately.
She likes these novel things!
Su Jiaoniang recorded in her notebook everything she saw that was planted along the way, and how well it was growing. Perhaps she wouldn't need these things, but what if she did?
The shortest route to the State of Qi involves crossing a large river.
The carriage could not continue from here.
Su Jiaoniang found someone to help her sell the carriage.
I bought another boat ticket.
Only then did she take Xiao Ya and Feng Yuwei onto the ship. When traveling, Su Jiaoniang wore men's clothing for convenience.
It was made from clothes that Lu Wujiu had worn and altered to be smaller.
The fabric was precious, and the clothes were magnificent.
On the boat, the poor people deliberately avoided Su Jiaoniang, afraid of soiling her clothes.
A rich person's clothes are more valuable than a poor person's life.
That's just how the world is!
There has never been fairness.
Su Jiaoniang entered the small room alone and glanced at the tired little girl.
I know the little girl is seasick.
He took a piece of ginger candy from his bundle and put it in the little girl's mouth: "Holding ginger candy in your mouth will make you feel much better."
"Mommy, it's time to sleep. If you fall asleep, you won't feel dizzy anymore," the little girl said pitifully.
Su Jiaoniang nodded and watched as the little girl closed her eyes.
She sat to one side, watching over the little girl.
The cabin was a bit cramped, but thankfully we were just traveling. If we had stayed here for a long time, we would have felt extremely depressed.
Watching the little girl fall asleep, I picked up a pen and paper and wrote down what I had seen and heard along the way.
It's all in plain language.
She wasn't good at classical Chinese, so she could only record things in vernacular Chinese.
A burst of laughter erupted outside. Su Jiaoniang patted the little girl who was almost awakened and walked outside.
Outside, Feng Yuwei was carrying a large fish, about half the size of a person.
Su Jiaoniang's eyes widened!
"You fished it out?"
"Do you want some?" Feng Yuwei asked.
eat!
You absolutely have to eat it!
Once you're on the boat and moving around on the water, it would be a shame not to eat fish.
But the three of them couldn't eat that much.
Su Jiaoniang thought about it and decided not to act like a lavish, wealthy person.
If you can't finish it in one meal, then pickle the rest and make preserved fish.
When you're out and about, you should still be careful!
She glanced at Feng Yuwei: "Stay with Xiaoya, don't leave her side even for a moment!"
"Then I'll go take a leak first!" Feng Yuwei handed the fish to Su Jiaoniang, turned around and walked out. When he came back, he had a foul smell on him.
Su Jiaoniang had a bad feeling about what was going on when she saw the bathroom in the cabin.
However……
There's no other way!
She watched as Feng Yuwei walked into the small room, carried the fish to the kitchen, and gave the cook two coins in exchange for the right to use the pots and stoves.
The fish meat is delicious, and the fish head is steamed.
The remaining meat was used to make grilled fish, and the rest was salted and preserved.
The cook stared wide-eyed as Su Jiaoniang grabbed handfuls of salt as if it were free. He swallowed hard and said, "This salt will cost extra!"
“…” Su Jiaoniang nodded.
Extra charge, extra charge!
She won't refuse reasonable requests.
She added two more taels of silver, hung up the preserved fish, and started making grilled fish. She brought her own chili peppers, because grilled fish without chili peppers has no soul.
The aroma fills the air the moment the chili peppers hit the oil.
The cook in the kitchen turned and stared at Su Jiaoniang.
"Hey bro, what's this? It smells so good!"
“I know, I know. I’ve been to Ganzhou Prefecture. There’s a hot pot restaurant there that sells chili peppers. Their chili oil tastes just like this. Young man, where did you get your chili peppers?”
"I bought these while passing through Lucheng. If you need any, you can buy them there. I don't have many on me, but I can probably give you two or three." They've been floating on the boat for more than just a day or two.
During this period, she had to use the kitchen.
Su Jiaoniang wouldn't have a conflict with someone who greets her all the time.
The cooks were overjoyed to receive two or three chili peppers.
They got together and started studying it.
Su Jiaoniang prepared the grilled fish, cooked the fish head, and also made fish soup, then carried it into the small house.
Little Ya has already woken up.
Feng Yuwei saw the food box in Su Jiaoniang's hand.
Expectation shone in his eyes.
Sure enough, the moment Su Jiaoniang opened the food box, a fragrant aroma wafted out.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Su Jiaoniang's eyes flashed with doubt.
Upon opening the door, I saw a woman dressed as a nanny.
She glanced into the room.
My gaze fell upon the fragrant grilled fish and fish soup.
