Xu Yin played with the conch shell and asked casually, "When will our boat come back?" ”

Yan Kejin calculated the time: "It's almost a few days." ”

As he was talking, there was a commotion in the direction of the pier, and it seemed that a fishing boat was docking.

"Let's go check it out." Xu Yin dragged him to the dock to join in the fun.

It was indeed a merchant's fishing boat that came back from the sea, and the unloaded fish was almost piled up on the entire dock.

Xu Yin didn't know many marine fish, but there were actually three she had seen here - wild yellow croaker, which was almost extinct in later generations, mackerel suitable for making fish balls, and grouper with delicate flesh.

"We want these things!"

She happily picked the sea fish, and turned her head to find that the guards had all been picked by Yan Kejin to pick shells, trash fish, shrimp and crabs.

It was probably the delicious warm pot feast yesterday that made them have a lot of aftertaste, and they can't wait to wrap up the miscellaneous fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish here.

“……”

She helped her forehead: "Don't pick too much, let's change the way of eating today." ”

"Didn't you say that big fish didn't taste good?" Yan Kejin tilted her head to look at her, "You make a decision about what you want to eat, don't be embarrassed." ”

“…… Well, it's not that it's not delicious, it depends on what kind of fish and how to make it. The ones I picked are absolutely delicious. Shellfish have the charm of shellfish, and fish has the taste of fish, and there is no comparison between the two. ”

Yan Kejin: "......" You didn't say that yesterday!

Xu Yin smiled at him: "It's easy to get tired of always eating shells, shrimps and crabs, today's fish is very fresh, let's change the way to eat?" I promise you'll love it! ”

When the guards saw that the princess wanted to eat fish today and didn't eat the seafood steamer like yesterday, although they were a little disappointed, they were still very active in picking and lifting fish.

Back in the courtyard, Xu Yin asked Cai Qing to make big yellow croaker and grouper, yellow croaker sweet and sour, grouper oil, she came to make fish balls.

"Sweet and sour?"

This is not the case when picking greens, and the most common seafood in large kitchens is steamed in sauce.

Xu Yin: "......"

Okay, sweet and sour yellow croaker is also coming!

Fortunately, Cai Qing is quick with her hands and feet, and she does everything quickly, and this time she was chosen to accompany her, just because she likes her.

When Xu Yin came out with a set of clothes that were convenient for cooking, Cai Qing had already packed up all the fish to be made at noon.

Seeing that she was so efficient, Xu Yin asked with a smile, "Do you want to learn to make fish balls with me?" ”

"Is it okay for a slave?" Cai Qing was flattered.

"Absolutely! It's not a secret ingredient, you can read it once. ”

She explained as she was doing, and when the first batch of fish balls was ready, Cai Qing picked up another mackerel with great eyesight and said, "The slave and maid will try again with this one!" ”

The fish balls made by the princess must be eaten by the prince.

She cooks what everyone else eats.

"It's okay to make more, mackerel is not as delicious as fish balls."

Xu Yin didn't think much about it, her eyes looked at the white fat fish balls floating on the surface of the pot, and smiled with satisfaction.

It's been centuries since the last time I made fish balls, but luckily my hands weren't alive.

At noon that day, everyone's lunch was a bowl of fish ball soup per person, and then a scallion oil grouper, a sweet and sour yellow croaker, and a few seasonal fresh vegetables.

Xu Yin tasted the sweet and sour yellow croaker made by chopsticks and gave a thumbs up: "The first time I did it, I had such a level, it's very good!" ”

Cai Qing's face was red from the princess's praise, and she happily picked up the dinner plate and went to deliver food to the guards.

The guards were still reminiscing about last night's seafood steamer, smelling the sweet and sour yellow croaker, and shrugged their noses: "What dish is so fragrant?" ”

At first glance, it is a sea fish, but it is not the same as what the chef in the house makes.

I tasted it, hmm! You can't stop chopsticks when it's delicious.

Everyone fought for me, and quickly killed a plate of sweet and sour yellow croaker, and Yan Eighteen, who was the last to get off the chopsticks, saw that the fish was gone, so he simply brought the plate to himself, scooped a spoonful of rice, and ate it all with the sweet and sour sauce.

"Eighteen, why are you so clever at this time? When you go out on errands, you have this cleverness, so you won't always be cut by Brother Qi. ”

"Hey...... This fish sauce bibimbap is so delicious! ”

“……”

This kid is still savoring!

The other guards were two or three years older than him, and they couldn't do anything to grab plates, so they took a sip of the fish ball soup with a dismal face, and this drink was addictive.

"This is what the princess said about fish balls? The thief is delicious! ”

"The fish ball soup is so delicious!"

"After eating sweet and sour fish, drink this soup again, it's amazing!"

Thanks to the fish ball soup is divided, each person has a bowl of soup and three fish balls, although each fish ball is the size of a ping pong ball, but I still feel that it is not enjoyable, and I guess what the next meal will be.

The princess's cooking is so delicious! They were so lucky to be blessed to eat seafood made by the princess, which they had never eaten before.

What? Didn't the princess make this meal today? Did the princess teach the little maid to do it?

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!

If it weren't for the princess, how would they know that the fish could still be eaten like this?

Not only sea fish, but also shells that I didn't look at in the past can make a delicious meal...... Don't talk about it, I'll talk to my brothers when I go back!

……

During her days in Qin County, Xu Yin enjoyed a leisurely vacation that she had not seen for a long time.

Every morning in the embroidery building to watch the sunrise, in the evening to watch the sunset, when the wind is not blowing, will go to the beach for a walk.

When a fishing boat docks, pick out some seafood that interests you and go back to eat what you want.

After a few days, the big ship that waited for the palace to go to sea came back.

Gold coins, silver dollars, pearl agate, and local specialties from foreign transactions were squeezed into two cargo holds, one large and one small, and the fish caught along the way filled the front and rear decks, and the real full load!

The guards all had excited smiles on their faces.

The fear of the unknown journey when he set sail has been completely replaced by the vigor of fighting pirates and visiting foreign countries for most of the year.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored!"

The returning soldiers knelt down on one knee towards Yan Kejin.

"It's good to return safely, and go back and talk about the rewards for meritorious deeds."

It is the reward for meritorious deeds.

Since coming to Nanban, the hardships and efforts that everyone has put in cannot be summed up in a few words.

Xu Yin looked back on the total manager in the past two years, and her heart was full of emotion.

The emperor probably never dreamed that he would set up with his own hands, and abolished it with his own hands, and he threw it away far away, and he couldn't wait to see each other in this life.

If you really want to talk about meritorious deeds, don't talk about the current crown prince, just say that the emperor is an old man, and his achievements during his reign are probably not as great as Yan Kejin's contributions in the past two years.

For the next few days, Yan Kejin stayed in the study, listening to the guards carefully recount how to defeat pirates, how to find foreign countries to trade with, and made a detailed map of the places he had visited on this trip.

In the future, people who go to sea, with this map, will have a clear direction of sailing, instead of groping while sailing, and it is inevitable that they will be confused and uneasy in the first few days.

Until I met a group of pirates who didn't have long eyes, they robbed them instead of robbing them, and found a map on the pirate ship, and immediately had a direction, and then learned the method of pirates, and drew down the places they had visited.

Yan Kejin looked at the map they had drawn, and then looked at the copy found on the pirate ship, and suddenly became enlightened.

It turns out that there are so many landmasses and islands outside of Vietnam?

Xu Yin pursed her lips and snickered: Can the prince open the door to a new world?
