Chapter 139 Late Night Sweets
"This was given to us by someone else." He Fuxi said.
The two kids thought of the royal guards who had enjoyed the delicious food yesterday and said "oh".
They suddenly understood why their sister wanted to bring food to the guards.
It turns out there are such benefits.
My sister is still smart!
"Now we can have delicious food without me having to go to sea." Lord Wang said excitedly.
The baby manatee croaked and clapped.
The adult and two children happily carried a large pile of seafood into the house.
After moving so much, they couldn't move all the food, so He Fuxi suggested setting up a stove on the island to cook the remaining food, which could be distributed to the guards.
The two kids readily agreed.
The guards' attitude became more positive and enthusiastic. They took the initiative to help build the stove and even provided a lot of firewood, as well as tools such as animal bone pots used by the sea people.
He Fuxi first remade yesterday's dishes.
Then he took out some rice and cooked an extra pot of delicious seafood porridge.
"It's windy on the island and cold at night. You should have a bowl of hot porridge to warm your stomach." He Fuxi said.
The guards were grateful.
Now, they feel that this little female who came from afar is like a goddess!
The food in the stove outside was finished, but He Fuxi and the others did not eat there. They threw it all to the guards and went back to their own hut to cook for themselves.
Little Manatee is curious:
"Sister, why don't we just do it outside?"
The little one, who is about six or seven years old and is in the process of changing his teeth, has a lisp when speaking due to missing front teeth, and his voice is especially babyish.
He Fuxi's voice softened after hearing this.
"If we stay outside, some people won't come," she said softly.
"Some people?" The little manatee was confused.
He Fuxi smiled and said nothing more. He took the two little ones in each hand and went back to the house for dinner.
The sea lilies have been dried today.
She just happened to make a different dessert for the kids.
Add water to the sea anise and simmer for two hours over low heat, stirring constantly during the cooking process. The water will gradually become viscous.
Then, filter it with gauze, let the filtered rock water cool naturally, and let it slowly condense.
"When you wake up tomorrow morning, there will be delicious sea agar jelly!" said He Fuxi.
Although they still have to wait and it is a bit painful, the two little ones are still very excited.
After dinner, they couldn't wait to go back to bed, hoping to have delicious food again when they opened their eyes the next day.
After He Fuxi finished washing up, he did not fall asleep as usual.
She looked out the window and saw that the big stove that had been used during the day had been cleaned up and the prepared food was gone.
The guards stood at their posts, motionless.
The night was dark and there was an inexplicable tension in the air.
She walked into the kitchen and saw that the agarwood had solidified into a paste, each piece of which was crystal clear, chewy and smooth, and very pleasing to the eye.
Cut the agar into pieces, sprinkle some sugar on it, and pour in boiled water, and a bowl of agar agar dessert is ready.
She placed the bowl on the windowsill:
"Since you are a distinguished guest, why do you act like a thief? It is better to face each other calmly and eat a bowl of sea stone flower to sweeten your mouth."
The night was silent for a moment.
Then, the wind blew and the bells jingled.
A tall and thin man, wearing many pearls and jades on his body, walked towards them with shining steps under the moonlight.
"Your Majesty, King Ming." He Fuxi simply saluted.
King Ming raised his hand, and a sea beast appeared quietly, crawling obediently behind him.
Then, he swung his long legs and sat lazily on the sea beast, with his elbows resting on the sea beast's head and the back of his hand resting on his chin.
"The three-day deadline is approaching. Have you thought of a solution?" he said.
There seemed to be a hint of playfulness in the emotionless voice.
He Fuxi knew that this man, like his brother, was a foodie.
But deep down, his imperial skills are much better than his brother's.
"The method is very simple." He Fuxi said.
King Ming was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned somewhat sarcastic, as if to say:
Another boaster.
However, he rarely lost his temper.
Instead, he raised his chin, motioning He Fuxi to continue.
He Fuxi said:
"If it's difficult to hunt at sea, why not raise them yourself?"
This is an angle that King Ming has never thought of.
There was a hint of interest in his look.
He Fuxi picked up a conch:
"Your Majesty, how do you feel about tasting this conch today?"
Although Prince Ming had eaten most of the meal from the big pot, he still pretended to eat a few bites himself.
He said modestly:
"Just barely edible."
He Fuxi smiled slightly.
"I guess the Sea People rarely eat these little things. Compared to sea beasts, they are indeed just a snack. However, their nutritional value is much higher than that of sea beasts."
"More importantly..." She threw the conch toward King Ming: "There are plenty of these things."
King Ming held the fragrant salt-baked conch in his hand, and his throat tightened when he recalled its taste.
He spoke slowly:
“No matter how much stuff there is, if everyone picks it, it won’t be enough.”
"So," He Fuxi continued, "We want to raise it."
He Fuxi suggested selecting a site in Nanming to develop a marine ranch.
"Some prey can be raised in captivity in the open sea. Small creatures like conchs and oysters can also be artificially cultivated in the near sea..."
He Fuxi talked about artificial breeding.
As Prince Ming listened, his originally crooked body gradually straightened up.
The slender hand began to stroke the chin.
"That's interesting," he said.
He Fuxi said that he could provide technical support for artificial breeding.
There are many breeding manuals in her mall.
"If Your Majesty is willing to invest in this matter and plant the seedlings in the spring, at least the food supply for summer and autumn can be guaranteed, not to mention the distant future," said He Fuxi.
King Ming couldn't help but look at the little female in front of him with admiration.
"What does the king think?" He Fuxi asked.
This shouldn't happen. Do we have to drive them back to Zhongzhou?
She looked the king in the eye without fear.
After a while, King Ming smiled gently.
"It's just a trivial skill, nothing special."
"But..." He changed the subject: "It's not a bad idea for me to play with you. You have to think it over carefully. If you leave now, you can still return to Central Continent in one piece. If you can't... you will be deceiving me, and you will be torn into pieces and fed to sea beasts!"
"What if it succeeds?" He Fuxi confronted calmly: "Your Majesty, can you allow us to stay in Nanming and not execute the Second Prince?"
"Hmph." King Ming looked somewhat displeased.
He stood up suddenly, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence:
"Let's talk about it when you become successful!"
The next day, Lord Wang and the others woke up from their sleep.
What greeted them was not the sweet sea stone flower, but an order from King Ming:
"Order the Second Prince and others to garrison the Sacrifice Island and cultivate seafood in the Chalang Sea!"
Lord Wang suddenly lost the mood to eat dessert.
He was very flustered:
"Oh no, sister! We are dead!"
"The Chalang Sea is the most terrifying and evil place, and it has swallowed countless orcs!"
