The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Afraid that Ying Bu wouldn't believe it, Qin Xingfu gave him a kiss on the face, and Ying Bu smiled instantly.

"My Lord, I want one too."

Dan Yao pointed at her own face, and Qin Xingfu also kissed her. Worried that Xuhe would be jealous outside, she crawled out and kissed Xuhe as well.

"Okay, it's all the same!"

"Be careful, don't fall!"

Every time Dan Yao saw her like that, he was terrified. Now that her belly was visible, he felt a little anxious every day and had lost a lot of weight.

"It's okay, the baby is very well behaved! It's just that it's almost four months now, and there should be fetal movement, but now there is no movement at all. Is it a little lazy?"

Qin Xingfu's belly has been getting bigger and bigger since the first trimester, but she wears loose clothes on weekdays, so it is not noticeable unless she sits down.

"Well, maybe it's not the right time yet, sir. Should we find a place to stay? It's not good to be on the road all the time."

Dan Yao supported her body to prevent her from being so bumpy. Now she no longer felt carriage sick.

"Yes, by the time the baby is born, we can't still be on the road, right? That would be too dangerous."

Ying Bu nodded in agreement. He was also a little bored. He really had to sleep in the open air. It would be great if he could go back to Xianyang.

Qin Xingfu actually thought it was okay. She just wanted to see the sea and then looked at the map. She didn't like winter and thought she could go to a warmer place to give birth.

Touching her chin, she looked to the south and pointed to South Vietnam.

"Then let's go here! How about building a ship here and then sailing directly to South Vietnam? It's not hot here in the winter, so we can take the Kong family with us along the way."

Qin Xingfu felt happy when she thought about it. Haha, now she had a reason to build a ship. When she thought about building a ship, all seafood and other things were thrown out of her mind. She wanted to build a ship, but she still had to ask the First Emperor for permission. This time, she would mention what she had done so that he would not urge her anymore.

He did it right away and asked Xuhe to stop the car.

"Xuhe, stop for a moment. I'm going to send a telegram!"

After the car stopped, Qin Xingfu went to the car behind to take the telegraph machine, and sent a telegram.

"My Lord, have you suddenly thought of something?"

Mi Fu asked about Xuhe.

"My Lord said that she was going to South Vietnam to give birth and build a ship. I guess she was asking for permission from His Majesty."

She would stop whenever she felt like it, and the others were used to it. The scenery here was nice, so they started to work skillfully, each doing their own job.

In Xianyang, the First Emperor looked over the telegram in his hand again and again. He really thought that Qin Xingfu was quite amazing, as he had two ships at once. However, the number of craftsmen, time and money required for shipbuilding was unknown. He couldn't help but think of the last shipbuilding. He was very annoyed and threw the telegram aside.

Qin Xingfu arrived in Jiaodong County. There were few people here and there was no place to stay in the entire county. There were only thatched huts everywhere. People were very scared when they saw their carriage frame and hid themselves.

Even the county governor's mansion was in tatters. Qin Xingfu stood in front of the door and doubted her life. In her impression, people living by the sea were very rich. Didn't these people know that there were treasures in the sea? Or did they not know how to eat them? Or did they not dare to eat them?

In front of the county magistrate's office, the guard at the door immediately went to find the county magistrate after seeing this. After a while, a thin and skinny old man with gray hair came out. His official uniform seemed very big on him.

"Your humble servant, Lu Ning, greets you, Your Excellency. Please come in, Your Excellency."

"No need to be polite. I just came to take a look when I passed by here today."

Qin Xingfu came to the government office under his guidance. The outside looked better, but inside, the roof was broken. Just now, she saw Lu Ning's shoes were torn when he walked. The place was still the same as before, without even a table, chair or bench. Qin Xingfu had to kneel down and Lu Ning stood below.

"Master Lu, please sit down too! There's no need to be nervous."

"Thank you for your consideration, sir!"

Lu Ning sat obediently below. Qin Xingfu thought about some situations in Jiaodong County and asked.

"What is the current population of Jiaodong County?"

"In reply to your Excellency, as of May this year, the population of Jiaodong County is 217,980, of which 15,610 are newborns, and 51,425 are school-age students..."

Qin Xingfu couldn't help but look at him with admiration when she heard what Lu Ning said was very specific. During this journey, she would from time to time find the county magistrate to inquire about the local population, fields, livestock, water conservancy, grain and other conditions. Few people could describe it in such detail.

Lu Ning could answer all the questions Qin Xingfu asked, no matter how big or small, so she stopped asking those routine questions.

"Master Lu, how old are you this year? How many years have you been here?"

"Your Excellency, I am thirty-seven years old this year. I have been here for seven years without doing anything. I am even ashamed of myself."

Most of the people here live here because they have a mission. In the past, they lived here in order to hunt whales in order to be exempted from taxes for one year. However, this decree has been abolished since three years ago. In May and June, a hurricane hit, and most of the crops they planted were gone. Only the new grain seeds issued by the court were left, which were short and not easily affected by the hurricane.

Thirty-seven years old? If she hadn't said that, she would have thought Lu Ning was sixty-seven years old. It seemed that this place was really poor, and the county magistrate was in a mess.

"Every place should find its own development rules, adapting to local conditions and the times. How can you be so poor here, close to the sea? Do you have a fishing boat? I will take you to see some good things tomorrow.

"My lord, the sea is dangerous. You must not go out to sea casually."

Lu Ning felt that this was too hasty. Every time they went out to sea, they had to look at the day and would only go out to sea when the weather was good. It looked like it was going to rain again today, and it might continue to rain tomorrow. That would be too dangerous.

"You should get ready first! If it continues to rain tomorrow, then don't go out. If it is sunny, I will take you to the beach. Otherwise, you will starve to death even if you have mountains of gold and silver."

Seeing her firm attitude, Lu Ning had no choice but to obey. He heard that the adult was a capable person and thought he could find the treasure.

At night, Qin Xingfu looked at the shabby house and sighed again.

"Ugh……"

"Sir, stop sighing. If you're in a bad mood, hit me to vent your anger!"

Ying Bu hugged her and said.

"It's not your fault, why should I hit you? I thought this journey was all good and beautiful, but in the end it's mostly filled with suffering. Sometimes I wonder if my efforts are in vain? Or am I working in the wrong direction?"

Behind these few short sentences in history are the corpses of thousands of people. She was very glad that the First Emperor was still alive and Fusu was not dead. The relatively stable social situation gave her the opportunity to do something for ordinary people.

"Baby, you've done very well. At least no one has starved to death along the way. Although we can't have as much meat and fish as we can now, we have to take our time to get things done. We can't achieve success overnight. We are just mortals and can't be like gods. We will be with you, dear, don't think too much. If you're unhappy, the children will be unhappy too."

After Ying Bu finished speaking, he kissed her forehead to comfort her.

Qin Xingfu also realized that she was overthinking, so she shook her head, hugged him and fell asleep.

"You're right. I don't want to think about it anymore. If the weather is good tomorrow, I'll take you to the beach. There should be a lot of interesting little animals on the beach."

Holding him in my arms, my hands unconsciously pinched the flesh on his waist and his soft belly. I found it a little difficult to fall asleep.

"Baby, what are you doing?"

There was danger in Ying Bu's voice, and Qin Xingfu said innocently.

"The fat on your waist is quite interesting. The abdominal muscles you used to have are now back to normal."

Qin Xingfu groped his hand downwards, and Ying Bu took a deep breath. This was very dangerous.

"Sir, please stop pinching me. I will be a vegetarian from today on and try to get back to my original appearance as soon as possible."

Ying Bu was really afraid that she would think she had gained weight and become ugly.

"You only have this little bit of fat, why do you want to lose weight? When the baby is born, you will naturally lose weight. Wouldn't it be great if you can gain weight with me now?"

"Aren't you afraid that you will dislike me~"

"I don't mind it. I've gained a lot of weight myself. No matter what, as long as I'm healthy, it's fine. Having a little bit of fat is still very comfortable."

"really?"

"Yes, it's true, more real than pearls!"

Ying Bu buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath of her scent.

"Why are you acting like a dog, itchy."

"My Lord, it smells so good!"

………………

The next day, the sun came out early in the morning. It had rained all night, and the temperature was just right in the morning. Qin Xingfu asked Lu Ning to lead the way to the beach, and also told Yinghou and the others to bring seasonings and various tools. She was not in a hurry to get on the boat, but used the tools to dig sand on the beach.

"My Lord, do you want to play with sand?"

Seeing her expression, Dan Yao prepared to find something to play with her.

"I'm not kidding. This is a delicious clam. Wow, it's really big! Let's have a seafood feast today."

Lu Ning asked in great confusion.

"Sir, can you really eat it?"

It’s not that they haven’t tried it, but what they made is really fishy and smelly. Only people who can’t afford to eat would pick it up and eat it. The shelf life is also short, so they can only eat it themselves, but they will feel sick of it after eating too much.

"Just watch and bring your pen and paper with you, and just follow me. If there's no one here, you can dry salt. The yield of sea salt is high. Remember this, and ask me for the specific process when you get back. I'll forget it while I'm talking."

After she became pregnant, she felt that she had some memory problems and forgot some things as soon as she turned around.

Lu Ning had no choice but to follow behind him with a pen and paper, and wrote "Shengzi", which means edible, and he would leave some time to write down the recipe.

"This is a flower snail, which is also edible, but the one that looks very similar cannot be eaten. Compare them. One has a short tail and a round head, while this one has a long tail and the whole snail is in the shape of a long strip. It is poisonous and cannot be eaten."

Qin Xingfu picked up two kinds of snails to compare. She couldn't bend down and squat often. When she saw Yue Xin picked up a piece of black stuff, she said.

"This is a good thing, called sea cucumber. It can be dried and shipped to the mainland for sale. I think this is a sea cucumber. There is also a kind without spines called sea cucumber. There are other classifications below, I am too lazy to explain. It can be eaten and nourishes the kidneys! This is a selling point."

"My Lord, what is this? This is like a stone."

Ying Bu pointed at the abalone on the reef and said.

"This is an abalone. It's really big. Here, you can get it off with a shovel."

Qin Xingfu scooped up an abalone. It was big enough! As big as her face, and heavy enough that she was full with just one.

"You can eat this fresh, or you can dry it and sell it in a box. I'll sell it to wealthy families at a high price."

Lu Ning was confused, but he didn't say anything. He just followed behind and took notes silently.

"This crab is also good, catch more. This is a mantis shrimp, you can eat it too, and this is a cat's eye snail..."

After strolling around the beach, Lu Ning finally understood why Qin Xingfu said that they would starve to death even if they had mountains of gold and silver. He wanted to cry. Why didn't anyone tell him this? If they had known this earlier, they wouldn't be so poor.

"This abalone can be cultivated. We can dive and drive stakes. When the tide recedes every year, we can collect a lot of them. There is almost nothing left on the shore. Let's find a quick place to cook and eat these! Otherwise, they will be stale."

"Do you want to wash again, sir?"

After winning, I felt a little dirty.

"Yes, but you have to be careful not to cut your hands, especially with crabs and shells. If you get hurt accidentally, you have to treat it immediately. At the very least, it can cause inflammation and require amputation, and at the worst, it can kill you."

Qin Xingfu reminded them that he didn't mean to scare them, but it was better to be cautious in everything, as human life was extremely precious.

Lu Ning, the guards and the fishermen worked together to wash everything on the beach. Xu and the others found firewood, set up an iron pot to boil water, and brought two pots with them.

Qin Xingfu was pounding mustard seeds with a stone mortar. This is an important seasoning.

"Sir, the water is boiling!"

"Well, okay, come on, pour this in first."

Qin Xingfu pointed at the snail and said, "Just tell me when you think the time is about right."

"Okay, now pick it up and put it aside."

The blanched conches were ready, and Qin Xingfu directed people to blanch the other shellfish, cut them into thin slices, or steam them. By the time they were done, her seasoning was almost ready. There wasn't much, but it was enough.

"This is the seasoning. Just take out the meat and dip it in it. This is usually filled with mud and sand, so you can remove it."

Qin Xingfu picked out the snail meat himself and started eating.

"Well, it tastes good, but it's too big. The big ones are a bit old and not as tender as the small ones. You all should try some!"

After saying that, she started eating the crab, eating the meat from the crab claws, and shared the rest with Xuhe and the others.

The others followed her example as they peeled crabs. Ying Bu and a few others picked out the meat from the crab claws and gave it to her. She shook her head and said.

"Crabs are cold in nature, so I can't eat too much. You guys can just eat them. I'll just satisfy my craving."

When Lu Ning ate the seafood processed in this way, he felt it was very delicious, much better than raw meat. Then he felt that Qin Xingfu came too late.

"Sir, it would be great if you had come earlier! We are really blind for not knowing what is good!"

"We haven't even gotten to the point yet, let's eat something to replenish our energy and continue!"

After Qin Xingfu finished speaking, he picked up the abalone and ate it happily. After two bites, he saw the oysters and put them on the fire to roast them.

“This tastes better when baked.”

It’s simple and easy to learn, you’ll be able to do it once you see it. Others also learn to bake it like her, and then add seasonings to make it very delicious!
