Chapter 163 Eating Shrimp
In Yaocheng, as soon as the sky was getting light, the orcs got up and started working.
Yiyun got up quietly as usual, kissed his partner gently on the forehead, and then left the room.
In the backyard, Chiqiu and Dibo were already busy, one was watering and the other was feeding the animals.
"City Lord, look, the sweet potato leaves are growing well, the ginger has grown taller, and the taro and peppers have also sprouted." Chiqiu reported happily.
Yiyun looked at the two young beasts with satisfaction, nodded slightly and said, "Very good, we can plant more when Langsi and the others come back."
Chiqiu said: "I understand, City Lord."
Yiyun said: "After Yueyue gets up, if anyone asks, just tell her that I went to the opposite mountain to dig coal." His claws were the sharpest, so he had to go to dig more coal.
After Yiyun left, the two boys discussed it. Chiqiu stayed to wait for Sister Shiyue to wake up, while Di Bo went out to cut grass. They cut not only grass for animals to eat, but also some thatch, which Sister Shiyue could use in case she needed to tie a straw raft.
Chiqiu was not idle while waiting, he sat in the front yard and twisted the rope.
The two young beasts had piled up a pile of wicker baskets they had woven in their spare time. Whether it was wicker baskets or straw ropes, when they made too many and could not use them all at home, they would take them to the trading center.
After Chen Shiyue got up, she saw Chiqiu in the front yard and asked casually, "Chiqiu, you're alone, where's Di Bo?"
Chiqiu smiled and said, "I'm going to cut the grass. Sister Shiyue, what are your plans for today?"
Chen Shiyue washed up in the hallway between the kitchen and the house and replied, "Let's go to the trading center first, then to the kiln factory, and then to the medical clinic."
After washing up, I went back to the house and ate some red cherries. Thanks to the space, after so many days, the red cherries in my collection are still so fresh.
"Sister Shiyue, are we leaving now?" Chiqiu looked up and asked.
Chen Shiyue walked over and said, "Don't worry, Chiqiu, take out all the ropes you made, and we'll make a fishing net." She wanted to eat shrimp.
Chiqiu happily went to the house and took out a large bundle of ropes, and asked with bright eyes: "Sister Shiyue, how do we do it?"
Chen Shiyue thought about it and tried to weave it by knotting. After weaving a few knots, she felt it was feasible and asked Chiqiu to continue weaving. If it is just to catch fish, the mesh can be larger, but if it is to catch shrimp, the mesh cannot be larger.
Chiqiu asked in confusion: "Sister Shiyue, is this for catching fish? If it is, the beastmen can just use their claws to hit them, no tools are needed."
Chen Shiyue said: "Today we are catching shrimps, which are segmented insects."
Chiqiu tucked his tongue and said, "That one has thorns and is small. How do you want to eat it, Sister Shiyue?"
Chen Shiyue said: "You can eat it boiled or fried, it's delicious."
The two of them worked for most of the morning and finally weaved a fishing net, which was quite sturdy.
Chen Shiyue sat on the red ball's back and went to the river excitedly.
When they arrived at the river, Chen Shiyue asked Chiqiu to cast the net, and then the two of them stared at the river closely.
After a while, Chiqiu lifted up the fishing net, and Chen Shiyue said happily: "Chiqiu, there are so many shrimps, wow, and many small fish. Take the small fish out and put them back into the water, and catch them again when they grow up."
On the other side of the river, Lie Feng had been watching for a while and couldn't help but ask, "Shiyue, how are you going to eat this segmented insect?"
Chen Shiyue looked across in surprise. When did the strong wind come?
Chiqiu had already noticed it, but he pretended not to see it. Don't think he didn't know. Every time the Lord of Liefeng City saw Sister Shiyue, his eyes lit up and his expression was so gentle that even a beast with a discerning eye could see that he admired Sister Shiyue.
Before Chen Shiyue could answer, Liefeng suddenly took a few steps back, then made a sprint and jumped from the other side of the river to this side.
"Lord Liefeng City, what are you doing?" Chi Qiu was so scared that he quickly stood in front of Chen Shiyue.
Liefeng looked down at Chiqiu, raised the corners of his lips, and said lightly: "Of course I came to talk to your sister Shiyue."
Chen Shiyue was surprised that Liefeng could jump over such a wide river.
She stood up and clapped her hands, saying, "Eat it boiled or fried."
Liefeng asked in confusion: "What is explosion?"
Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "Understand it yourself, Chiqiu, let's go to the kitchen of the trading center."
The red ball immediately changed into a beast. After Chen Shiyue got on its back, it picked up the fishing net with its mouth and ran away quickly.
Liefeng felt a little disappointed. Wasn't he willing to say a few more words to him?
Can segmented insects be cooked and eaten? He could try it. He had just carefully looked at the fishing net in Chiqiu's hand, and he should be able to make it. Thinking of this, Liefeng waved to the other side in a very good mood, and the falcon immediately flew over.
When Chen Shiyue arrived at the trading center, females such as Li immediately surrounded her, looking puzzled.
Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "There will be delicious food later."
Let Chiqiu take the fishing net directly into the kitchen and said to Sherman, "Bring a basket, wash the shrimps in water, then light a fire and we will cook the shrimps."
The females gathered around and watched curiously.
Under the guidance of Chen Shiyue and the operation of Xueman, a large pot of shrimps were first boiled in water, and then another large pot of shrimps were fried. While frying, a little salt was put into the pan for seasoning.
Sherman brought two pots of shrimps to the table outside, and Chen Shiyue taught the orcs and females how to eat shrimps.
When eating shrimp, you naturally have to peel the shell. Chi Qiu, who had just bitten the whole shrimp into his mouth, was stunned when he heard this.
Li was eating shrimp meat and said in surprise: "Shiyue, this segmented insect, no, this shrimp, is so delicious. Shiyue, is there anything else to eat in the river?"
The females all agreed and looked at her expectantly.
Chen Shiyue also thought that the shrimp was very delicious. The shrimp was not small in size, so it was not difficult to eat. She thought for a while and said, "This river is not big enough, so there are not many small aquatic animals. If it were the sea, there would be many edible aquatic animals."
Li said, "The sea, I know, it's in the east, too far away from us."
The females peeled the shrimps and ate them with great enthusiasm. Some of the orcs who followed them to eat the shrimps were reluctant to peel them, so Sherman broke off the shrimp heads and ate the whole shrimps, saying, "Even the shells are delicious."
Chen Shiyue looked at the orcs and said, okay, eat the meat with the shell to supplement calcium.
Sherman said, "Chiqiu, leave your net to me. I will go to the river to catch some more shrimps and send some to the cafeteria. I will add shrimps to the dinner."
Sang Yi said, "This is fine. Fried shrimp tastes better. What do you think?"
Most people think fried shrimps are more fragrant, but some think boiled ones are more delicious.
Chen Shiyue said, "Sang Yi, I think we can make some dried fish and put them on the shelves. The taste of dried fish is not worse than dried meat. By the way, we can dry the boiled shrimps into dried shrimps and put them on the shelves for trading."
Sang Yi nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Madam City Lord, I'll remember that."
Chen Shiyue said: "When Lang Si and the others come back, I think we can have a few more kinds of food."
Li said expectantly, "Really, Shiyue? We are so happy with you."
Chen Shiyue remembered something and looked at Yin and asked, "Are you and Liebai doing well?"
Yin said shyly, "Thank you, Madam City Lord. Lie Bai is very good to me. Really, he just looks cold, but he is actually gentle and considerate."
Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "That's good, congratulations."
After coming out of the trading center, Chen Shiyue asked Chiqiu to take her to the kiln factory.
At the kiln factory, many orcs were building a wall, and the main force was actually orcs from the Cat Tribe and the Dog Tribe.
Mo Chen was busy inside the wall. When he saw Chen Shiyue coming in, he immediately came over and asked with a smile, "Shiyue, I want to build a house with earth walls inside the kiln factory as a resting place for the orcs in the kiln factory. Do you think it's feasible?"
Chen Shiyue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but praise: "Mo Chen's father, your idea is very good. In fact, building a house with earth walls is also a good idea. Mo Chen's father, what kind of earth house do you want to build? Tell me in detail."
Mo Chen was just trying to find some time to communicate with her, and upon hearing this, he happily took Chen Shiyue to a cleaner place and told her about his idea.
Chen Shiyue's eyes lit up and she said, "Father Mo Chen, I think your idea is feasible. This mud house can be built with a few more floors. If you want it to be more solid, try adding small stones and sticky tree sap to the mud wall."
Mo Chen grinned and said, "If possible, Shiyue, I want to live in this kiln factory in the future."
Chen Shiyue looked around and said, "Father Mo Chen, the area of this kiln factory needs to be larger. Just set aside a small residential area. The residential area should be a little far away from the factory so that it will not be affected."
Mo Chen nodded and said, "Shiyue, I understand. I will experiment and make a wall that is stronger than an ordinary earth wall."
Chen Shiyue said with a smile on her face: "Dad Mo Chen, you gave me a big surprise. If your experiment is successful, we will build three more factories. In addition to the furniture factory and the textile factory, we will also set up a food processing factory."
Mo Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shiyue, I will ask Langke and the others for help, and we will definitely make it."
If several factories are built, Yaocheng will truly look like a city, and life will become more and more promising.
