When Shao Xi saw the two baskets of fish placed in the yard, the whole person was stupid.

The two baskets in Wu Qiu'er's mouth are indeed two baskets, but these two baskets are a little too big, one basket is worth the ordinary three baskets, so many fish are eaten by the entire mission, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat them all in one meal.

What makes Shao Xi even more insightful is that the basket is big, and the fish in the basket are also big, Shao Xi visually does not have a foot below, it seems that Wuqiuer still has a choice when picking up fish, not picking up the small ones, only picking the big ones.

When such a big fish is grilled, you have to disembowel it first and clean it up.

Shao Xi called Xu Maocheng over and asked him to arrange for people to clean up all these fish as soon as possible, and invite the entire delegation to eat grilled fish together today. In addition, he took out all kinds of snacks and snacks from the Central Plains brought by the mission to satisfy Wuqiuer's cravings.

Watching Wu Qiu'er gobble up the food in his mouth, nodding his head and muttering deliciously, Shao Xi really doubted that he could eat it with this way of eating? But you can't ask too much of him, as long as he's happy.

There were so many people who worked so well that it didn't take long for the two large baskets of fish to be cleaned up and dressed, and a bonfire was lit in the yard.

It is said that the open fire cannot be lit in the pavilion in the city like this, but Shao Xi and the others have special identities, and the steward in the pavilion has no choice but to open one eye and close one eye to them.

It didn't take long for the whole courtyard of the pavilion to be full of aroma, and the fish from the black balls were big and fat, and they were roasted on the fire and were "sizzling" with oil, and the people who smelled the aroma suddenly had a great appetite.

Originally, there was very little salt in Bozhou, and the fish was roasted on the fire and had no other taste except for the fishy, but the envoy brought a lot of salt from the Central Plains, and they all said that the salty taste, but with a little salt, the taste of the grilled fish was very different.

Shao Xi and Wu Qiu'er scrambled to chew the fish and meat, eating with their mouths full of hands, and they didn't pay attention to eating at all, so that everyone in the mission was dumbfounded when they sat on the sidelines, but they didn't expect the envoy to eat with this virtue, which really opened everyone's eyes, and even some people followed the same example and ate it unscrupulously.

"Hey, hey! Last time I ate the mutton of the Central Plains, after I came back, I didn't eat anything fragrant, and a bird was about to fade out of my mouth, if only I could have salt to eat every day, even the fish soup would be delicious. ”

Wu Qiu'er smacked her mouth and licked her salt-stained fingers.

It seems that the shortage of food and salt in this land of Nanzhao is indeed very serious, not to mention the ordinary people, even the soldiers in the barracks can eat extremely limited salt every month.

A country near the sea can't eat salt because it doesn't have a salt-making process, in Shao Xi's opinion, this is simply asking for rice with a golden rice bowl.

Although the salt-making process in the Central Plains is not much better, but fortunately, there is inland salt for consumption, and the salt produced by some salt lakes and salt wells does not have the bitterness of sea salt, and the yield is not low, which makes Nanzhao, who has salt by the sea but can't eat salt, envious for a long time.

Although Shao Xi knew that the process of purifying salt was not complicated, and that the bitter taste of salt could be removed by using lime and plant ash, he did not intend to teach such a simple process to Southern Zhao.

It is said that knowledge changes fate, and mastering the salt-making process in your hands is equivalent to mastering the wealth of the world, why give them for no reason? It's not good for me.

At the beginning, I was just a secondary school student, although I mastered some relevant knowledge in the chemical factory, but in that era of knowledge explosion, what I mastered was only some of the most superficial and simple chemical processes.

Those limited knowledge may be priceless treasures in this world, but you still have to know how to keep them, no matter when you always have some hole cards in your hands, even if you are used, at least you have to have use value, right?

Shao Xi came to this world completely involuntarily, although he is now in this world, he is very clear, he has never come to change this world, and he has no ability to completely change this world.

At the very least, he hopes that the people around him are doing well, and at the very least, he hopes that the people in the world can live well, but this does not mean that he wants to turn himself into a saint, a person who saves the common people and turns the world.

Whether he is selfish or unambitious, in short, he is a person who is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early. If it is not good for himself, he is not in the mood to save the world, he just wants to take good care of the people around him. If it is good for him to save the common people, he will definitely do it, but not because he can save the common people, but only because it is good for himself.

When his mother was critically ill and lying in the hospital, not to mention the world, even his relatives didn't think about saving his mother, so why should he worry about others?

Shao Xi retracted his thoughts, and said to Wuqiu'er with a smile: "It's not easy to have salt to eat every day in the future, you just follow me, from now on, you will follow me, there will be endless mountain delicacies by my side every day, what is salt?" ”

"Really?"

Wu Qiu'er shook his head, and his two eyes as big as copper bells flashed with surprise at this time.

The ordinary things in Shao Xi's mouth are full of great temptation for him, in fact, this is not surprising, a person who has been a slave since childhood has never eaten anything too good in this life, just salt is also a luxury for him, not to mention any mountain delicacies.

"Of course it's true! Not only do I feed you every day, but I also want you to eat the best, and in addition to eating, I also want you to dress and use well. I see that all other aspects of your martial arts cultivation are okay, but you don't practice the body method, I think it's because your huge body doesn't have a body method suitable for your cultivation, right? If you follow me, I will pass on a set of light body methods to you, so that your martial arts will be advanced from the middle to the highest, and you will be qualified to enter the product, what do you think? Would you like to come with me? ”

Wu Qiu'er became even more energetic when she heard this, and happily desperately nodded at his big head.

"Yes, yes! I had to eat, wear, and practice superior martial arts, which I never dreamed of before. Usually in the barracks, they would only ask me to help them carry some heavy things, and they couldn't eat well, so they could only sleep in the grass hut every night. If it's really what you say, I'm willing to follow you. ”

Before Shao Xi could take the conversation, Wu Qiu'er suddenly lowered his head again, wrenching his thick fingers, and his expression was a little tangled.

"Still, I can't go with you. It was the general who brought me out of the slave camp, and found a master to teach me martial arts, and let me live in the barracks, he is my benefactor, wouldn't I be sorry for him if I left? ”

Shao Xi saw that Wu Qiu'er was so honest, simple and sincere in his heart, and he did not forget Fu Zuoliang's kindness to him back then, and secretly praised him in his heart.

In this impetuous world, the clarity and purity in Wuqiuer's heart are even more precious, so I don't plan to force him, I just hope that he can live a better life in the future!

At this moment, Shao Xi suddenly felt that Wuqiuer was happier than himself, his life did not have so many extravagant desires, there were not so many fetters, his wish was so simple that it was distressing, as long as he had something to eat, something to live in, and it was enough to live happily.

In contrast, with all kinds of responsibilities like myself, and living in mutual calculations with others all the time, isn't it really pitiful and worthy of sympathy?

The bonfire fish feast in the courtyard of the pavilion was finally over, and Wu Qiu'er wiped his two fan-sized palms on his body, and patted his huge belly that was swollen and round, and burped contentedly.

After another smirk at Shao Xi, Wu Qiu'er said angrily: "I'm going back now, I can't enter the barracks when it's dark, it's good to see the fairy brother!" ”

Shao Xi suddenly felt a little reluctant in his heart, this big guy who almost beat himself to the point of vomiting blood made Shao Xi find a feeling of brotherhood. If it weren't for Fu Zuoliang's reason, Shao Xi would really want to take him with him and take good care of this big fat man who has been a slave since he was a child, has a simple heart, doesn't know the dangers of the world, but knows how to be grateful.

called Xu Maocheng over and instructed him to wrap a large bag of Central Plains dim sum.

Shao Xi tied the big package around Wu Qiu'er's waist with his own hands and asked him to take it back and keep it to eat slowly, although he knew that he might eat it all at once, but there was only so much he could take at the moment.

Wu Qiu'er looked at the big bag of delicious food, happy like a child, if it weren't for the fact that she was too fat, she would probably be able to jump up at this time.

Shao Xi personally sent Wu Qiu'er out of the pavilion, and Wu Qiu'er turned around after a few steps, although he was very reluctant, but he still left after all.

Watching the mountain-like figure gradually disappear from sight, Shao Xi suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, a person with such a tragic fate can live so simply and happily, compared to many people, who is unlucky?

Turning around and returning to his room, Lao Wu also walked in with him.

"What? Do you want to take in apprentices yourself? This big fat boy's martial arts foundation is not bad, and the direction of cultivation is no problem, but it's a pity that the exercises and techniques he practiced before were too poor. ”

Shao Xi sighed heavily and said, "I do have the heart to take him by my side, but it's a pity that he refuses to leave Nanzhao when he remembers Fu Zuoliang's kindness to him back then, and even if he accepts him, it seems that he can't find any martial arts suitable for him to practice right now." ”

Lao Wu took the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it in small sips.

"To be honest, I also look at this big fat boy old man, and it is not impossible for you to take him away from Nanzhao if you really have the heart."

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”
