Hong Xiaoduo knew that in ancient feudal society, men were considered to have a higher status than women.
The concept of male superiority and female inferiority, the feudal ideology of valuing men over women, and the belief that men should occupy a dominant position.
At that time, she only felt that women born in ancient times were quite pitiful.
Now that she is living in this era herself, she has a deeper understanding of the hardships faced by women in ancient times.
You might say that men in ancient times were bad, but they were actually quite responsible. When they had physical intimacy with a woman, they thought about marrying her and taking responsibility for her!
But if you say he's responsible, people with a bit of economic foundation and status would still take concubines.
It seems like their mindset is that once they marry and give their spouse a title, they've taken responsibility and done everything they could.
Therefore, for Hong Xiaoduo, who is obsessed with looks, when she encounters a handsome man, she should simply admire him and enjoy his appearance, but she should never get involved, as that would only lead to trouble.
Lin Ansheng's incident served as a reminder to Hong Xiaoduo that she must prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
She'd rather fight off thieves than be bothered by this.
Looking at the ring of things at the bottom of the reef, Hong Xiaoduo immediately stopped thinking and picked up the shovel in her hand, pondering which one to pry off and how to pry it off.
Things like basil, oysters, and some others she couldn't name.
They were densely packed, clustered together. Luckily, she didn't have trypophobia; she just felt overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin. It was a pity she didn't have a cell phone, otherwise she could have easily searched online.
You can also scan it to identify what kind of creature it is and whether it is edible.
Never mind, let's just pry open the biggest ones.
At first, I was a bit clumsy, but after prying a few open, I figured it out and became more and more adept at it.
When they pried open a small bucket, they discovered an octopus in a corner under the rocks. It was quite large, and Hong Xiaoduo used a shovel to put it into the bucket. It felt like it weighed more than two pounds.
More than an hour later, they carried a full bucket of seafood back home.
Upon seeing her, the others on the shore all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let's stop practicing here for today," Quan Jinghuai said.
Upon hearing this, Tian Shu and the others happily ran towards Hong Xiaoduo's side.
"Wow, so much! What are all these things? Are they all edible?" Kaiyang asked excitedly, looking at the contents of the bucket.
Tian Shu and Tian Xuan eagerly took the wooden bucket and carried it towards the tent.
Hong Xiaoduo told them the names she knew, and said she didn't know the names she didn't know.
"Mom, you don't even know what this thing is called, yet you brought it back. Is it even edible?" Tianquan asked with some concern.
It's not that I don't trust her, it's just that I feel if she knows what it's called, she should know if it's edible. But how can she know if something is safe to eat if she doesn't even know its name?
"Don't worry, although I don't know what it's called, I'm sure it's edible. I've eaten it." Hong Xiaoduo showed no displeasure at being questioned.
Tianxuan paused for a moment and then asked, "So how should it be burned?"
Hong Xiaoduo looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Boil? Braise? Stir-fry? You can cook it however you like, as long as it's cooked and edible. But if you boil it, you'll need to make some dipping sauce."
Tianxuan blinked at her, thinking to herself, "How could I forget that Mom can't cook!" Oh well, I'll just figure out how to cook it myself. If I try different methods, I'll eventually find the most suitable and delicious way.
"Never mind, I'll leave it to you guys. My shoes are wet, I'm going to change them." Hong Xiaoduo was in a hurry to change her wet shoes and didn't notice Tianxuan's reaction.
Quan Jinghuai saw his disciples gathered around and curiously walked over. He glanced at the contents of the wooden bucket and realized he hadn't eaten anything from it before. It seemed he would be eating these things tonight!
Inside the tent, Hong Xiaoduo had just changed into dry cloth socks and shoes when, in the blink of an eye, they were gone.
Needless to say, Feiyan must have taken it to wash and dry.
Along the way, Hong Xiaoduo encountered large shops and was looking for rain boots. However, she was very disappointed. Rain boots existed in this dynasty, but there were two kinds: one was wooden clogs, which were usually bought and worn by ordinary people.
The other type is made of leather, which is worn by wealthy people.
Hong Xiaoduo had seen the actual product; the so-called leather boots looked much like modern slippers.
What they call rain boots are shoes worn on rainy days, but what Hong Xiaoduo wants are modern shoes that allow her to walk in the rain without leaking and keep her feet and socks dry.
So she didn't buy either the wooden clogs worn by the poor or the leather clogs worn by the rich.
It was still early before dinner, so Hong Xiaoduo and a few other children played on the beach, building sand dolls and chasing each other around with Yaoguang and Kaiyang, their laughter filling the air.
Quan Jinghuai sat in his chair, sipping his tea, and the more he looked at his disciples, the more he felt that their "mother" was actually just a big kid.
But what she did was quite something.
Putting aside the bandits on Mount Dalian, who had been safe for years, they met their doom when they encountered her.
And then there's Nie Qing from Tongling City, whose tragic fate was changed simply because he met her.
He only asked her for help to check on his mother and sister to see if they were alright. As a result, she not only agreed to go and check, but also helped arrange for his mother and sister to go to the capital to file a complaint.
Nie Qing's wrongful conviction was overturned, and those who framed him suffered a terrible fate. From the person who plotted to frame him to the officials involved, they were all investigated and imprisoned.
The key point is that the official who accepted bribes and engaged in favoritism and corruption not only went to jail himself, but also implicated several of his superiors, causing them to lose their official positions and careers, and they still couldn't escape imprisonment.
Quan Jinghuai greatly admired Hong Xiaoduo regarding the Nie family's affairs. She was incredibly meddlesome, helping the Nie family despite being complete strangers, and even introducing them to Minister Wei from the capital.
Quan Jinghuai later asked her and learned that she had only met Minister Wei by chance on the road. How could she have asked Nie Qing's family to ask him for help?
The strangest thing is that after the Nie family mother and daughter went to see him, Minister Wei actually met with them and took charge of their family affairs!
What does this mean? It only means that she was confident that Minister Wei would take charge of this matter.
Minister Wei also valued and trusted her highly.
Otherwise, there would be no hope of overturning Nie Qing's case.
Throughout the country, there are countless "Nie Qings," but meeting Hong Xiaoduo is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to her.
At her age, she is bold and decisive, and also very knowledgeable.
That evening, when Quan Jinghuai ate the seafood that Hong Xiaoduo had brought back for dinner, he realized he had embarrassed himself. He shouldn't have praised her for being knowledgeable. If she really knew so much, how come she didn't know how to process the seafood before cooking it, instead of eating it like this with sand in her mouth?
"I've washed it so many times, why isn't it clean yet?" Tianxuan said to herself, feeling very guilty when she found sand in her food...
