Chapter 17 Millennial Arctic Shells
Tianshui Lake. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tianshui Lake, the largest lake in Tianshui County, even before Tianshui County was established, Tianshui Lake appeared and became famous.
Although the official state of the empire did not explicitly state, almost everyone in Tianshui County believed that the reason why Tianshui County was called Tianshui County was because of Tianshui Lake.
Although Tianshui Lake is large, it is a pity that it is an inland saltwater lake, which greatly reduces the value of Tianshui Lake. After all, in agricultural production, irrigation comes first, and if Tianshui Lake was a freshwater lake, I am afraid it would have been occupied by the state marquis.
However, even so, with its abundant seafood resources, Tianshui Lake still attracted many nobles to build their territories again, and there were seven barons entrenched on the north shore of Tianshui Lake alone.
At this time, on the north shore of Tianshui Lake, the sound of hustle and bustle breaks the silence of winter.
"One, two, three—up!"
"One, two, three—up!"
"One, two, three—up!"
A large group of strong giants, holding an arm-thick hemp rope in their hands, exerted their strength to feed, and the heat emitted from their bodies rose into the air, hovering in the air, looking like a white dragon from a distance.
After a while, a loud exclamation erupted in the crowd.
"Out of the fish!"
"Out of the fish!"
"Definitely a great harvest!"
For a while, smiles were all over everyone's faces.
The Shantai villager anxiously looked at the seafood in the fishing net, his eyes kept scanning, hoping to find what he was thinking about. Suddenly, his gaze rested on the bottom of the fishing net, and a group of shells attracted his idea, black-brown stripes alternating with each other.
"Arctic shells!"
Seeing the Arctic shellfish, the Shantai villager couldn't help laughing, his goal of winter fishing this time was finally achieved.
"Congratulations, my lord, I will definitely be able to leave a deep impact on Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess. The butler licked his face with a flattering look. But the flattery of this face, coupled with his huge male body, looks so funny.
"Hurry up, scoop up all the Arctic shellfish!" "Shantai villager excitedly instructed his subordinates to work.
Not long after, a bowl-sized Arctic shellfish fell on the hand of the Shantai village man.
"Fifty-year-old Arctic shellfish!" After more than ten years of dealing with seafood, the Shantai villager could see the age of this Arctic shellfish at a glance.
Arctic shells are born with snow-white shells, like snow in winter, and hide deep in the mud to hide from predators. For the first ten years, the Arctic shells grew up once a year, until the tenth year, when the watermelon-sized Arctic shells grew black and brown patterns on their shells.
But after that, the growth pattern of the arctic shellfish is diametrically opposite, and it no longer grows, but shrinks every year.
Concentration is the essence, and this sentence is well embodied in the Arctic shellfish.
Therefore, by virtue of the size of the bowl of the Arctic shellfish, it is easy to judge the year of the Arctic shellfish.
In the seafood market, there is a top-quality seafood ingredient called "a mouthful of shellfish", which melts in the mouth, can nourish the body, improve cultivation, and is a must-have dish for royal court banquets.
And this "mouthful of shellfish" refers to the Arctic shellfish that are concentrated to the size of an open mouth and can be swallowed. It takes at least 100 years for an Arctic shell to grow to a "mouthful".
"I hope to meet a mouthful of shellfish!" the Shantai villager prayed silently, but unfortunately he didn't see a mouthful of shellfish until the net was closed.
The Shantai villager sighed and said, "Sure enough, a mouthful of shellfish is not so easy to encounter!"
However, the next moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw the most incredible scene in his life.
From underneath a pile of sea fish, he picked up a shell the size of a thumb nail, characteristic of black and brown stripes, which clearly told him that it was an Arctic shell.
"This ...... How is this possible!" The Shantai man held the thin arctic shell in both hands, and his lips trembled.
It would take at least a thousand years for the Arctic mussels to be condensed to this size!
"Millennial Arctic shells!" the Shantai countryman's eyes were full of fire, and his tongue kept licking his dry lips.
The Shantai Township man looked up to the sky and smiled, as if everything in the world was under his control: "This time, I want to see who can compete with me at the dust washing banquet of Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess!"
At this moment, Chi Fei dragged his heavy footsteps and came to the side of the Shantai villager, panting heavily, and the hot air spewed out, turning into a thick heat in the cold weather.
"Didn't you keep an eye on the seafood market? Don't you know the importance of the seafood market? Who asked you to come here?" asked the Shantai villager with a frown and dissatisfaction.
Have you been too merciful lately, and someone dares to disobey orders without permission.
Listening to the scolding of the Shantai villagers, Chi Fei was excited, and said with a frightened face: "My lord, the seafood market has turned the sky upside down!
"Why is it okay? I didn't get well before I left, and in only five or six days, the seafood market was turned upside down? Is there someone who has also mastered winter fishing?" said the Shantai Township man angrily.
The seafood market in winter is his lifeline, and he will not allow anyone else to interfere.
Chi Fei hurriedly said: "No one else has mastered winter fishing, but the seafood seasoning package that has become popular in Tianshui City recently!"
After listening to the explanation, the Shantai villager breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the seafood seasoning package in Chi Fei's hand, "What is this?"
"Your Excellency, you'll know if you taste it!"
The Shantai villager dipped in the powder, and a strong seafood flavor burst out in his mouth, so delicious that he thought he was the top seafood ingredient again.
"This is ......" Shantai Xiangnan's eyes widened, his eyes were full of shock, "Where did you get this thing?"
"Sold by the Hailan Chamber of Commerce, now the entire Tianshui City is crazy because of these powders!"
The Shantai villager stared at the seafood seasoning package, his eyes flickering, thinking about the impact of the seafood seasoning package on him.
"Contact the Heilan Chamber of Commerce immediately, I want to make a deal with the owner of the seafood seasoning package!" ordered the Shantai Township man, his eyes full of fanaticism.
He has to decide how to make the seafood seasoning package.
The thousand-year-old Arctic shellfish may be rare, but the richness of the royal collection is rare in the world, and maybe Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess has really eaten the thousand-year-old Arctic shellfish.
However, the combination of thousand-year-old Arctic shellfish + seafood seasoning package can definitely amaze Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess.
"The little ones will do it now!"
Chi Fei just wanted to leave, but was stopped by the Shantai villager.
"This matter is very important, I will deal with it personally!" After that, the Shantai villager canceled the plan to go to the next winter fishing, ending the plan for the winter fishing.
A group of 100 people slowly returned to the edge of Tianshui Lake, and when they just stepped on the shore of the lake, the Shantai villager saw a group of unexpected people.
"Xiping countryman, you are really interested, when you are living and dying, you still have the heart to come to winter fishing!"
