"Oysters?"

Mu Xiu was stunned.

He is not from the seaside, and he has only been in Lingnan for less than two months.

He didn't know much about seafood or anything.

If you are a person who lives by the sea all year round, you can quickly react when you hear Gu Tingcheng mention oysters.

Mu Xiu looked puzzled.

A pair of silver-blue eyes were full of trance, as if to say: Aqing, aren't we discussing the construction of the lighthouse, why are you talking about eating?

Be!

Mu Xiu admitted that the products in the sea were really abundant.

Not to mention that after coming to Lingnan, just getting on the treasure boat, Mu Xiu, a person who has never seen the sea, tasted all kinds of sea delicacies.

And seafood or something, the core is one word - fresh!

It's really "fresh", and many times, when cooking those sea ingredients, you don't even need to use too many condiments.

Just the taste of the ingredients themselves is really enough to satisfy people's taste buds.

After coming to Guangcheng, I saw the well-known Gu recipes.

Many unseen delicacies completely convinced Mu Xiu-

The Gu family of Wu Jun is unusual, and the family recipe can even cook such a rare ingredient as seafood.

Of course, Mu Xiu is not a blind and brainless worshipper of the family, he is as smart as him, and he also thought that the cooking method of seafood in Gu's recipe should have been newly added after coming to Lingnan.

And Gu Qing and Gu Sanniang are the biggest "heroes".

「…… What kind of woman is this? He is so clever and so stunningly beautiful."

After Mu Xiu met Gu Qingcheng, he always had such an amazement in his heart.

Mu Qiang's heart, not only women will have, but men will also subconsciously worship and submit to the existence that is stronger than themselves.

And Gu Tingcheng's excellence has transcended age and gender.

The longer I get along with her, the more I will deeply understand her strength.

In addition, for Mu Xiu Mu Buqi, Gu Qingcheng is not only a strong person with good talents, a broad heart, and a kingly demeanor, but also a transcendent and great thought.

She has never regarded him, a *** with a different appearance, as an alternative.

Instead of crowding out and discriminating, they can be entrusted with important tasks.

In Gu Qing's eyes, he was a man from the Celestial Empire who was no different from other Celestial Empire people.

God knows, this kind of "no difference" is so precious and demanding for Mu Xiu.

Uh, that's not right either!

He is not an ordinary indistinguishable Celestial Empire man, he should be a relatively good-looking type.

Because Mu Xiu really saw his reflection of Mu Xiu in Gu Qing's eyes, and it was also full of amazement for his appearance and praise for his talent!

Mu Xiu lowered his head, didn't dare to raise his head, and went to catch the shadow walking in front of him in a bright light.

He only dared to watch secretly and pay attention quietly, and he was even more eager to think in his heart:

"It turned out that on the pier, Ah Qing said to me, 'Brother, you are so good-looking, not a polite remark, but from the bottom of my heart."

After getting along with Gu Qingcheng for a long time, and being able to really feel her joys, sorrows, and sorrows, Mu Xiu became more and more sure that Aqing was not telling him some false polite words, but really thought he was good-looking, and he really ...... Love him!

Realizing this, Mu Xiu did not believe it at first.

But as he got along with Gu Tingcheng, he went from unbelief to half-belief, until now he is ecstatic.

"Brother, look, this is an oyster!"

Gu Qingcheng carried a small wooden barrel, and there were shovels, hammers and other tools in the barrel.

She was barefoot, and tied the hem of her skirt around her waist, revealing her snow-white trousers.

The white feet stepped on the beach, leaving small marks one by one, and the trousers were also wet by the sea water that constantly washed the beach. net

look at

Allure didn't care, she took a shovel from the barrel and pointed to a reef in front of her, "Whoa! There it is!"

Gu Qingcheng's words brought the thoughtful Mu Xiu back to reality.

Rumble!

Realizing what he was thinking about just now, Mu Xiu's fair face instantly turned red.

「…… Oh!"

He lowered his head, not daring to look at the peerless beauty a few steps away in front of him, and only answered in a small voice.

Gu Tingcheng didn't care about Mu Xiu's gaffe, although in this world, she reached 100 points in appearance for the first time and became a real peerless beauty.

But in the mission world, she doesn't know how many times she has been a beauty.

She had long been accustomed to the astonishing, obsessive, adoring, or covetous glances of the crowd.

Mu Xiu is just one of them.

At most, he himself is a rare beautiful man, and he is still the confidant that she Gu Qing received.

Maybe in the future—

However, none of this matters.

The important thing is that for now, Gu Qingcheng wants to train Mu Xiu to be his God of Wealth and logistics steward.

Stepping on the sea water and feeling the softness of the fine sand under his feet, Gu Qingcheng came to the reef, took a small shovel and began to tinkle.

"Aqing! I'm coming!"

Seeing such a big beauty, actually working hard, Mu Xiu subconsciously felt distressed.

He didn't care about being shy, and he forgot the blush just now, and walked quickly to Gu Tingcheng's approach, reaching out to take the tools in Gu Chengcheng's hand.

It's just that when his fingertips were about to touch Gu Qingcheng's incredible, white and tender hands that could almost pinch out water, they quickly shrank back like an electric shock.

"Mu Xiu, what are you doing?"

"You—How dare you blaspheme?"

Mu Xiu already had low self-esteem, and the person in front of him was so beautiful that he was like a Nine Heavens Xuannu, and he didn't dare to blaspheme it easily.

People don't dislike him, and they are willing to treat him as a "brother", but he can't lose his sense of proportion, and really thinks that mortals can climb the gods!

"Brother! I'll do it myself!"

Gu Qingcheng still didn't care about Mu Xiu's mood swings, she knocked and pried hard, and it really took some effort to get down the oyster shells that were firmly stuck to the reef.

Boom!

Gu Tingcheng threw the fat oysters into the small wooden barrel, raised his eyes and saw that Mu Xiu was still in a "daze", so he handed him a delicate small copper hammer, "Brother, you can try it too!"

Only by prying the oysters himself can I know how "compatible" this species is with the reef, and can I understand the "principle" why Gu Tingcheng wants to use oysters to strengthen the embankment.

「…… Oh! Okay!"

For Gu Qingcheng's request, Mu Xiu couldn't refuse at all.

His body reacts far faster than his brain.

When he realized that his fingertips had inadvertently touched Gu Qingcheng's little hand, his face turned red again.

Boom!

swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, the Adam's apple rolled slightly, and Mu Xiu's whole person was in a state of "sleepwalking".

His body unconsciously imitated Gu Qingcheng's appearance, and hit the reef hard.

One, two......

It's just that Gu Tingcheng knocked a few times, and then got down another palm-sized oyster.

The one that Mu Xiu attacked didn't move!

Mu Xiu: ......

The cool sea breeze blew gently, and Mu Xiu finally woke up from a dream.

"This oyster, actually—" so hard to pry?

Reason has returned, and Mu Xiu's smart brain has also occupied the high ground.

He thought of what Gu Qingcheng said before, and then, he clenched the small copper hammer and beat it hard.

Although Mu Xiu has low self-esteem, he is not bad in his own right.

As the eight nobles of the Northern Dynasty, the Qiu Muling clan was full of bravery

。

Mu Xiu may not have received the elite education that the heir should have, but he is not bad at reading, riding and archery, etc., which the children of the clan should have.

Moreover, because of the "lack" in appearance and his father's "eccentricity", Mu Xiu worked extra hard when he was studying.

He looked like a melancholy little prince of the Western Regions, but he was actually a civil and military all-rounder.

He also has a lot of strength in his hands.

However, when he pry the oysters, he finds that he can't pry them easily.

「…… This~~~"

Holding the small copper hammer, Mu Xiu was surprised to hold the reef full of oysters, and he thought of what Gu Qingcheng said before.

Then he circled the reef.

Wow!

The water washed over the beach and hit the reef.

The fine sand will float with the swelling of the water, but the reef will stand.

Looking at its rugged appearance, covered with moss and seaweed, you know that it has not been here for a year or two.

It has been eroded and washed by the sea for many years, but it stands steadily-

"Oysters! It's oysters! Isn't that right?"

Mu Xiu finally understood, and he also knew what the principle of "building a bridge with oysters" Gu Chengcheng was talking about.

His mind began to rac, looking at the reef, and he even had images of how a long trestle stretched from land to sea, and then a tall lighthouse was built at the other end of the trestle.

Seeing that Mu Xiu was "enlightened", Gu Tingcheng hooked the corners of his lips, "Brother is really smart!"

It's all right, and there should be inferences in the future.

Gu Qingcheng couldn't have been more satisfied.

「…… Aqing, are you laughing again?"

Mu Xiu was praised but a little embarrassed.

He is indeed not stupid, but compared with Aqing, who is almost a demon, he is still much worse.

At least, he couldn't think of another use for oysters.

Gu Tingcheng: ...... It's not a matter of your IQ, it's a limitation of the times.

Seeing Mu Xiu surrounding the reef, spinning in circles and thoughtfully, and squatting down from time to time and priing oysters with a small hammer, Gu Qingcheng knew that he had realized.

Expanding the docks, building lighthouses, and even building a bridge across the sea will all become a matter of course.

With these preparations, Gu Tingcheng will also be able to further explore the ocean.

For the time being, it may not be possible to travel across the ocean to the Americas, but there is a place where "development" can be used to improve the schedule.

"Brother, do you see that location? There are a series of small islands, and there is a group of newly civilized barbarians."

"The barbarians on the island are hateful, but there is the world's largest silver mine there!"

Looking in a certain direction, Gu Qingcheng said to Mu Xiu seriously, "Next, we will not only expand the dock, but also build more treasure ships—"

You can do without land and people in a certain place, but you must get the silver back!

Mu Xiu was stunned for a moment, he had known A Qing for a few months, and he had never heard A Qing speak in such a cold voice.

That small island, Ah Qing seems to instinctively dislike it......
