After Zhu Yuan's incident, everyone quickly returned to the shore and came to the Zhongjun Mansion. Zhu Yuan went to take a hot bath, and although he changed his clothes on the boat, he didn't get rid of the cold. As for Zhu Houzhao and the others, let Xiaobai and Hongling go to the whole fish feast. As for the little girl's cooking, it is absolutely hellish, she dares to do it, Zhu Houwei doesn't dare to eat it, and Qingmei can also make it, but it's not delicious. Zhu Houwei also knew how to cook in his last life, and he originally wanted to show his hand today, but he fought wits and courage with the barracuda, and he had no strength anymore, and he was still resting.

Today, in general, Zhu Houwei is still very happy, and it is very rewarding to be able to catch big fish in fishing. Zhu Houwei and a few people sat in the dining room, there was a fireplace burning in it, the whole dining room made people feel warm, Zhu Houwei and the little girl took off their down jackets, chatted while drinking tea, and waited for the meal to start.

After about an hour, the meal was ready, and sure enough, it was a whole fish feast. A cod tofu, a steamed black sea bream, a braised barracuda, and a barracuda tofu soup, and finally an assorted fish fillet, except for Huang Gonggong, who stood and served, everyone else was ordered by Zhu Houwei to sit and eat together. I have to say that Xiaohuan and Hongling's cooking skills are very good, and everyone is feasting. Zhu Yuan ate the most, and was scolded by the little girl as the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie, Zhu Yuan smiled innocently while putting a large piece of vegetables in his mouth.

After lunch, the little girl came to ask what to do in the afternoon, Zhu Houwei thought about it, and said, "Let's go to the beach." So after resting for a while, Zhu Houwei took a few people to the beach.

According to Zhu Houwei's request, many ships will be docked at the wharf here in the future, so the wharf needs to be built very much, even in the cold winter season, the project has not stopped. The seaside was full of people, from time to time someone shouted command, and from time to time it was the trumpet of the workers when they were carrying. Gantries are used on the docks, also known as blocks of pulleys, which allow workers to lift heavy stones and so on.

Zhu Houwei only took a look here, and then walked to the beach to the north. The beach has been swept by the land and water camps, but because the waves are constantly bringing some of the animals and plants from the sea to the beach, there is a patch of water again.

Zhu Houwei and others were wearing cowhide boots, wrapped in cotton cloth inside, which was very warm. Walking to the beach, Zhu Houwei enjoyed the rustle of shoes on the sand, and when he looked back, the footprints of several people were left on the somewhat damp sand. The waves crash onto the beach, one moment they rush over, the other they retract, and what they can see is a white foam and objects brought by the waves.

Zhu Houwei didn't walk too close to the waves of the Caspian Sea, after all, if the shoes seeped into the water, the taste would be uncomfortable. Zhu Houwei saw a handful of seaweed a few meters in front of him, and immediately called Zhu Yuan, pointing to the seaweed and asking, "Is that kelp?" Zhu Yuan has been at the beach for less than a year, and he knows a lot about some fish, shells, seaweed, etc., but he doesn't know that this thing is called kelp, so he said with some uncertainty, "Second young master, the locals call this thing Seahorse Lin." Zhu Houwei smiled and said, "Do people eat this thing here?" Zhu Yuan shook his head, "I basically don't eat it, the fishy smell is too strong, and it's not delicious." However, there are a few bell doctors who take medicine. Zhu Houwei came to the spirit, "Hehe, I'll eat it tonight." The little girl pulled Zhu Houwei's sleeve, "Second brother, is this thing delicious, how does it look good?" “

Zhu Houwei smiled mysteriously, "Believe me, I'll make this dish for dinner myself." The little girl was immediately relieved, Zhu Houwei did it personally, and it was not far off. Zhu Yuan heard Zhu Houwei say this, so he ran over happily, stepped into the sea water where he had no feet, and then pulled the kelp out of the water. It seems that something was found in the kelp again, and after digging a few times, it was found to be an oyster.

Zhu Yuan took the oysters in his hand and was about to throw them away, only to hear Zhu Houwei's eyes light up and shout, "Don't throw them, you bring them to me to see." Zhu Yuan had no choice but to come over with oysters and kelp. Zhu Houwei first took the oysters, then looked at them, and determined that this was a Dalian Bay oyster, and the size was only 10 centimeters.

As we all know, oysters are rich in nutritional value, and they are also widely distributed and varied in our country. This Dalian Bay oyster is relatively common, and this kind of oyster is generally not very large, but the meat is tender. In general, it is divided into European oysters and Asian oysters, and the oysters that were raised in large quantities in France in later generations are Asian oysters, because the seawater taste of this oyster is relatively light, and there is no problem in eating it raw.

Zhu Houwei asked Zhu Yuan, "Do locals eat a lot of this thing?" Zhu Yuan was stunned for a moment, "I don't eat much." "Oysters have been around since ancient times, and some people in our country have eaten this since ancient times, but this thing is not easy to preserve with ancient technology, so only people in coastal cities can eat it. Except for fishermen, it is estimated that not many people in the local area eat this. Zhu Houwei's eyes lit up, as a person of later generations, Zhu Houwei had long heard of artificially cultured pearls.

Ancient records of pearl culture first appeared in the Song Dynasty, when pearls were cultivated from freshwater mussels. At that time, people choose the quality of the round clams, open the mussel mouth, throw the ring to contain it, and then raise it for two years, raise the ring with the mussel, form a pearl layer, and a pearl is done. The method of putting the ring into the clam to grow pearls is called the "pearl breeding method" in China.

This method did not reach Europe until the 18th century. However, seawater cultured pearls were blank for hundreds of years, and it was not until 1905 that the Japanese Kokichi Mikimoto researched them, bringing a large amount of foreign exchange to Japan at that time, and was called the "father of pearl farming" by the Japanese.

So Zhu Houwei decided to study this technique, and the principle is probably to cut a wound on the flesh of the oyster. It's a pity that Zhu Houwei knows this. But it doesn't matter, you can experiment slowly, and you can always get close to success. For technology research and development, Zhu Houwei has always been very generous, asking for money for money and people for people.

However, Tianjin is not suitable for pearl farming, so you can only go to the south to experiment. The most famous in later generations is Hepu, but that is in Guangxi. The little girl saw Zhu Houwei staring at the oysters with bright eyes and didn't say a word, so she asked, "Second brother, this is also delicious?" Zhu Houwei came back to his senses and nodded affirmatively, "Yes." ”

There are about 3 catties of kelp, which is basically enough, and you only need to get some oysters for dinner. Zhu Houwei looked at the endless sea and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, the sea has great wealth." ”

All afternoon, the crowd just walked around the beach. But the little girl took a few girls to pick up a lot of beautiful shells. The little girl said that she would take it back to Hongzhi and his wife and Zhu Houzhao, the unmarried couple, of course, the master and the little sister could not forget
