Chapter 731: Qi Niang is gone again
After seeing Li Chengdao, Li Xiu did not go out again, but has been staying at home to rest, occasionally taking his family to play in or around Suzhou City, and even he plans to go to Hangzhou in a few days to take a turn and enjoy the West Lake in the Tang Dynasty, although the West Lake at this time did not have some cultural landscapes in later generations, such as Leifeng Pagoda and the broken bridge have not yet been built, but the natural scenery of the West Lake itself is also worth visiting.

"What about Qi Niang, why is there no one again?" On this day, Li Xiu had lunch and was about to announce that he would go to Hangzhou in a few days, but suddenly found that Qi Niang was not there, which made him ask in surprise.
"Husband, really, Qi Niang went back to the shipbuilding workshop yesterday, but I didn't expect you to find out today!" Princess Pingyang said with a smile at this time, Qi Niang is obsessed with shipbuilding, and she goes to live in the workshop for a few days at every turn, and they are used to it.
"This ......" Li Xiu also smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this, Qi Niang had been staying at home a few days ago, and he had been thinking about Li Chengdao, so he really didn't pay attention to Qi Niang's absence.
But at this moment, I suddenly saw a subordinate hurriedly come to report, saying that he was coming to visit, which made Princess Pingyang and them very happy, and hurriedly went to the front yard to greet them, and Li Xiu also followed, only to come to the front yard to find that only Hate Er came today, and Shangguan Yi was not there.
"Hate, why are you here alone, come in and drink tea!" Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang also greeted her very warmly when they saw Ha'er, and then took her hand and asked as they walked.
"There are too many things in Haiyan County, and my husband is also very busy during this time, so he can't spare time at all, and it just so happens that the first batch of canned food has been produced in the canning workshop, and it needs to be handed over here, so I will go there in person to avoid mistakes!" Ha'er also replied with a smile at this time, although she was very busy after marrying Shangguanyi, she felt very fulfilled, and now she is playing the role of a virtuous helper inside and out, and Haiyan County also praises her.
"The workshop is going to start selling canned food so soon?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Ha'er's words, he had been in Haiyan for several days, and he knew the situation in the county very well, he remembered that when he left, the seafood canning workshop had just started to operate, and it was only a few days, even if there was production, I am afraid that the quantity was not much, so it should not be worth transporting?
"Sir doesn't know, canned seafood is a new thing after all, and I'm also worried that the people in the inland can't get used to eating things in the sea, so I first produced a small batch of canned seafood, and shipped it to Chang'an and other places to try it first." Ha'er explained with a smile at this time, this is also something that Shangguan Yi and Zhang Shiyi have discussed before.
"That's right, the smell of things in the sea is big, someone in Suzhou City sold a fish bigger than people before, the husband looked at the fresh and bought some and tasted it, but the fishy smell was very heavy, the meat was also very coarse, and ordinary people were really not used to eating it." At this time, Yi Niang also spoke.
"Hehe, that one is called a shark, this thing is a tiger in the sea, and shark meat is not very tasty, but I heard that it can be used in medicine." Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Yi Niang's words, he saw someone buying sharks in Suzhou City before, and they were very big, he really didn't know how to catch them, he felt novelty at that time, so he bought a large piece and went home, but after making it, he found that it was not delicious.
"Giggle~, I have also eaten shark meat, it is indeed not delicious, but the seafood in the sea is abundant, and some fish and shrimp are still very delicious, I also personally brought a few canned food this time, Mr.'s mouth has always been very mouthful, why don't you ask Mr. to comment on it?" Hearing this, Ha'er also smiled and said, in order to make delicious canned seafood, she has not eaten less seafood these days.
"That's great, I'm just going to try it!" Li Xiu immediately said happily when he heard this, if canned seafood can be promoted, it will completely revitalize the economy of Haiyan County, and even make an example for other coastal states and counties.
With the command of Ha'er, the maid beside her immediately brought up a box, and when she opened it, she took out more than a dozen kinds of canned food, each of which was different, and the outside was painted with canned seafood, most of which were all kinds of sea fish, as well as shrimp and shellfish.
Li Xiu first picked out a canned fish from these cans, and it was written on it as a kingfish, but Li Xiu looked at it and felt that this thing looked like a big yellow croaker he had eaten, and he didn't know if it was a thing, but it didn't matter. At that moment, he opened the can, and immediately smelled a fresh and salty smell, the fish meat inside was cut into pieces, Li Xiu took a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and tasted it, and found that the taste was very delicious, and the salty smell unique to sea fish was not very heavy, and ordinary people should be able to accept it.
"It tastes good, you can taste it too!" Li Xiu immediately greeted Princess Pingyang and them.
Seeing that Li Xiu, who had always been in his mouth, also praised the taste of canned food, which made Princess Pingyang and the others a little curious, they picked up their chopsticks and tasted them at the moment, and found that although they were not as delicious as the usual food, it was already very good that the canned food could do this.
Next, Li Xiu tasted other canned food, and found that they also have their own characteristics, and there are several kinds of sea fishy smell, but it is good to get used to it, after all, some people still like this fishy smell, such as mutton also has a special smell, some people can't eat it at all, but some people think that the more fat, the better it is.
"By the way, why didn't I see Qi Niang, wouldn't she go to the shipbuilding workshop again?" At this moment, Hate Er suddenly found that her good sister Qi Niang was not there, and she couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I went to the workshop yesterday, and you're back today, why don't I send someone to call her back?" Li Xiu also replied at this time, fortunately, he found out that Qi Niang was not there before, otherwise there was really no way to answer Hate.
"No, anyway, the canned food I brought also needs Qi Niang and Brother Eleven's caravan to be transported to the south, and Qi Niang needs to say hello then, so it's better for me to go to her!" But he said with a smile.
Li Xiu heard that Ha'er was going to find Qi Niang, and he also nodded at the moment, and he also knew that Ha'er must have a lot of girlfriends to talk about, so he didn't go with him, so after chatting with Princess Pingyang for a while, he got up and said goodbye and went to the shipbuilding workshop.
However, what Li Xiu never expected was that not long after Ha'er left, he suddenly sent someone back quickly, and reported to him a shocking news: Qi Niang is gone again!
