For the first time in my life, I slept on the boat for more than ten hours, and it was not until noon on May 30 that I opened my eyes with soreness. [*you]

"Ah! Xiaobao~~"

A sweet little girl sitting at the head of the bed heard the movement and immediately screamed in surprise.

Xiaoxun was still so unpredictable that she threw me who had just sat up and fell on the bed again after slapping.

"oh!"

My head was drowsy, and after being hit like this, I felt much more awake.

"Little baby, when is it now?" I looked at the bright sunshine outside.

"It happened to be noon." Xiaoxun said crisply: "Dai'er went to the kitchen to get food, and she said you were about to wake up, sure enough!"

"Are they all awake?" I sat up in my arms and smelled the sweet body of the little girl.

"Well~ Uncle Hongdu and the others woke up, woke up in the morning, and after a big meal, they all fell asleep again... They just woke up again." Xiao Xun pinched my nose and said, "As for the guys Silang Golang, they still slept like dead pigs!"

"Ouch!"

I wanted to hold her and stand up, but suddenly I felt sore all over and couldn't help but suck the air conditioner.

"Xiaobao, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoxun's eyes widened, and there was a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.

"I felt sore all over!" I sighed: "We only helped row for an hour yesterday, and I felt sore sore that those uncles were really amazing!"

"So, you have to work hard to exercise~~" The sweet little girl turned her eyes, "Come on. Lying down, I'll give you a massage~~"

As she said that, she pushed me onto the bed and lay down, and then pressed my hands randomly. [*You] not only did not relieve my soreness, but it made me itchy and made me laugh unconsciously.

At this moment, Dai'er opened the door with a plate in her hand. Xiaoxun let me go, pulled me up with difficulty, and then pushed me out of the bed from behind.

"Dai'er, how is the situation outside?" I said while eating rice dumplings with big mouthfuls.

"The weather outside is very good, and there is no sign of a storm..." The cute little girl said briskly: "By the way. I also heard them say that there were a few small fishing boats that had gone out to sea, but after seeing us, they ran back a few miles away. Uncle Hongdu decided to wait until tomorrow, we drove the boat to the next to Nemu Harbour and everyone went ashore to take a look."

I nodded. We didn't wake up until noon. Everyone must feel similar to mine. They were sore and weak all over. If they wanted to recover their strength, they would probably have to sleep for another night tonight and then they would have the energy to walk tomorrow.

The development of things was really as I thought. Basically, on this day, no one was walking on the nine ships, either lying on the bed or sitting on the board to chat. Until the next morning, we were fully energetic. We first sailed the nine big ships to the west for a while until we saw the houses erected on the shore, etc., and under the leadership of Hongdu, we put down the raft and rowed onto the Nenmu Harbour.

The ten rafts carried about 200 people in total. Except for the group of us, most of them were Rakshasa Guards. Because only their force could shock those people with a number of 200 people, so as not to have any accidents.

I was still a little worried at first whether there would be too few 200 people, but it turned out that I was too careless.

When we got ashore, a group of men dressed in tatters stood timidly not far from the port. When we saw the tall and mighty Rakshasa strong men, they even had a little dementia in their eyes.

It is said to be a port, but Nemu Harbour is simply a dilapidated small place. A bunch of small boats are tied to the shore. The shore is not yet regular, just a few piles of soil, and there are no steps around it. [*you]

No wonder Uncle Hongdu said that they were in danger. It was obvious that they had no plans and were not motivated.

"Is Village Chief Xiao Jianci here?" After getting ashore, Hongdu shouted to the crowd more than ten meters away.

"I am Xiao Jianji...you are..."

It seemed like there was an acquaintance, a man in his thirties, looking at us intently.

Hongdu walked over in just a few steps: "I am Hongdu from Sanguo Village in the northwest. I came to you with our eldest and second masters two years ago... You were the ones you treated to at that time!"

Xiao Jianci looked at Hongdu again, and then said for a moment: "You... are you from Sanguo Village at the foot of Luoxi Mountain?"

"Yes!" Hongdu laughed, "You still remember Village Chief Xiao Jianci."

"So it's you!" Seeing that they were acquaintances, Xiao Kenji finally calmed down his heart that was in his throat, but he said in disbelief: "Hong...Hongdu, these ships..."

"We built these ships ourselves." Hongdu said proudly: "How is it? Isn't it okay?"

"This... this is not just OK! Absolutely a super big ship!" Kenji swallowed: "If we had such a ship, at least we could get out of the Chiwu Islands and Guohou Island. How many fish could we catch at that time..."

"Hehe, if you like it, we can sell you a boat."

"Your Highness Hongdu, you are joking. Even if you are willing to sell, we have no money to buy it." Xiao Jianci looked at the big ship in the distance obsessedly.

At this time, someone behind him gently pulled his clothes. Xiao Jianci then said "ah" and asked in a low voice again and embarrassedly: "Your Highness Hongdu, what are you doing this time?"

"Oh, nothing. We just went out to sea for a walk and were just tidying between your islands." Hongdu pointed to Dai'er and me, and Xiaoxun said, "This is my highness and princess. I told them that you have delicious food here, so they will try it."

"It's delicious?" Xiao Jianci said in confusion.

"It's your dried abalone!" Hongdu patted his shoulder hard, "I dare say that the dried abalone you eat here is definitely the best in the world... Why are you hesitating? Let's take us to eat!"

Hong was not a fool, so he handed a big cloth bag to Xiao Jianci while he was talking.

Xiao Jianci opened it and saw a golden color that immediately blurred his eyes.

At least twenty or thirty small gold ingots cloth bags suddenly made Xiao Jianci's heart return to his stomach: I have nothing here, and I have such a big ship, how could I be greedy for myself?

After understanding this, Xiao Jianci's smile became truly enthusiastic: "Your Highness Hongdu, your highness, please go here... I'm afraid that it's because of the remote mountains here, and your highness and princesses can't have fun!"

While they were greeting, I was also bored looking at the surrounding environment.

The pier was obviously slightly lower than the land terrain. Looking up, there were rows of houses of varying heights one or two miles away. Although they were all piled up by stones, they were all ragged, just like the clothes they were wearing, not refreshing at all.

As early as on the boat, I saw that there were towering mountains everywhere here, and there were so many stones.

When materials and labor are not problems, even if you are poor, you should make a better house, right?

As I walked along the way, the dilapidated roads also made me speechless. In their small village, the roads were not flat, but because they were built under several hills, the terrain was a bit flat, so it didn't look very crowded.

So many people flocked to the village, which shocked the people in the village, but seeing the village chief and others coming with outsiders, they gradually lost their vigilance, and gradually there were children and young people standing in the distance to watch us.

Xiao Jianci, who had received a lot of wealth, seemed very generous. As soon as he returned to the village, he took out gold ingots for everyone to show him and told each household to take out their abalone. More than a dozen chefs with good skills set up a stone stove on the open space in the village and started to process the abalone.

"Hey, Uncle Hongdu, didn't it say it was dry abalone? Why did I see it was wet?" Fan Mo's eyes were very sharp and he immediately discovered the problem.

"It takes three days for dry abalone to be treated in the early stage, including two days of soaking cold water and a day of hot water before cooking." Hongdu Heshou said, "The last time we came, we lived for three or five days, so we ate dried abalone. Now there is not much time, so eating fresh abalone is almost the same."

While speaking, Hongdu asked the people from Nemu Village next to him to give an explanation.

The chefs had already taken out the abalone in the basin. It is said that as soon as they were caught, they needed to put it in salt for a day or two to remove impurities, and then continued to boil it in light salt water. These basins were cooked and ready to be dried, which was just enough to enter the final cooking process.

Abalone usually needs to be steamed for several hours. If the heat is higher, two or three hours will be enough. Then put it in boiling water and boil for two quarters of an hour, then add various sauces to season, which will become a delicious dish.

Of course, what we are preparing to eat now is definitely a simple version of the real abalone. According to people here, it takes five days, and it must be dried abalone, which is the most delicious.

In the end, they were proud to talk about the most that the nobles of the Great Song and Great Liao Kingdoms liked to eat were their root room dry abalone. If it weren't for the insufficient production of abalone here, they would have become rich long ago.

I nodded when I heard this. I knew abalone a good thing and it can be sold at a very good price. I had known a long time ago, but we did not have an environment suitable for their growth around the Harbour, so we could only sigh. (Your support is my greatest motivation.)
