The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Chapter 82: Fishing for Seafood

"This part is mainly used to store cargo. Here, this is where the engine is. Look over here, that's the cockpit..."

Feng Quji didn't quite understand and interrupted Jiang Lou.

"Wait a minute, in all these years, I have never seen a boat without oars and sails, and this one is made of iron. Can it work? It won't just be a decoration, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I think what Prime Minister Feng said is absolutely right. When Xu Fu went out to sea to build that ship, he spent a lot of money..."

Ying Gu didn't think about anything else, he just wanted to make a comparison. Wang Li quickly stepped on him and he quickly shut up.

"It's normal for you to have doubts. This boat doesn't need people to row it, but it uses a kind of energy. Did you see some strange machines when you entered the door just now?"

Jiang Lou couldn't explain this, so Qin Xingfu explained it instead.

"Yes, I saw a big one, with claws."

"We saw it. There was something with four wheels, and it was made of iron."

Everyone started talking, and Qin Xingfu asked someone to bring a bottle of gasoline.

"Those things are tools, and what drives them is this, which is oil. With this, we can save a lot of manpower and build machines that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water."

"Ah? Can it fly to the sky? Why didn't you say you could fly to the moon?"

Feng Quji thought she was talking nonsense and Qin Xingfu shook her head.

"The technology is not up to the task right now. It's already very hard for me to get an excavator and a transport vehicle. Once we get more resources, it will be very easy to go to the moon. Who knows, we may even be able to go to the sun."

We can’t eat a big fat man in one go now. Without decades of development, Daqin’s aerospace industry probably won’t be able to develop.

"Let's not look at all that for now. Let me see if this boat can float and run!"

It looked so boring, he thought it could run directly on the water.

"Okay! Jiang Lou, make arrangements and prepare to go into the water!"

Facts speak louder than words. No matter what you say, it is useless. Only when they see it with their own eyes will they know what knowledge is power!

"Here!"

Jiang Lou went downstairs to make arrangements, while Qin Xingfu led everyone to stand on the observation deck.

"Attention all departments! Daqin No. 1 will be launched for testing today. Start preparations!"

Jiang Lou's voice came from a small box, and everyone except Qin Xingfu was startled. Qin Xingfu didn't want to say anything anymore, so he picked up the intercom and started talking.

"Attention all departments, safety first, report any abnormalities promptly!"

"Report, everything is normal!"

"Report, everything is normal! Preparations are complete!"

A different voice came from the intercom.

"Okay! Got it! Everyone, today His Majesty and the other gentlemen are here to witness the launch of the first ship of the Qin Dynasty, and it is ready to be successful."

Qin Xingfu thought of just giving orders to let them push more into the water, but the First Emperor was here, so after thinking about it, he handed the intercom to the First Emperor.

"Now, your majesty, begin your speech!"

The First Emperor looked at the black thing in front of him, then looked at Qin Xingfu who was looking expectant, and nodded.

"Get into the water!"

Qin Xingfu thought he would say a few words, but he only said these two words. After hearing the order from the First Emperor, the soldiers used a sledgehammer to knock open the device, the iron chains made a loud rattling sound, and were retracted, and the ship began to tilt outward.

“It’s going to fall!”

Someone exclaimed, and the First Emperor became nervous for once. He saw the big ship enter the water, splashing a lot of water. The big ship swayed on the water and stopped after about a quarter of an hour.

During this period, many people held their breath, not daring to breathe, and watched the ship being safe and sound, and the people below exclaimed in surprise.

"It's done! It's done!"

They hugged each other and cried. Over the past year, many of them had been sleepless, working and studying every day. Everyone had to learn a lot every day. They were very happy to see the ship they helped build successfully launched. This made them happier than getting any money.

"Your Excellency is mighty! Long live His Majesty!"

Qin Xingfu's eyelids twitched. These people, why would they mention her when they just mentioned the First Emperor? She still wanted to live longer.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The First Emperor suddenly laughed. With such a large ship, it would be invincible and unbeatable! Every inch of land in the world would belong to the Qin Dynasty.

"Reward! Everyone will get a reward. Long live the Great Qin!"

"Long live the Great Qin! Long live the Great Qin!"

Everyone was excited. It really worked. Then flying would be possible in the future. Soldiers and officials were all excited. Wang Li shouted very hard. People's voices cut through the sky and were heard far away.

Qin Xingfu was very proud and walked down slowly and said.

"Now, is there anyone who wants to come aboard with me? The weather is nice today, so I'll take you out to sea to relax!"

"I!"

The First Emperor couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to go out to sea to see the world. Qin Xingfu was a little reluctant, as she just wanted him to come and take a look, and didn't want him to get on board. But seeing that those who had already boarded the ship were all dignitaries and personal guards, the soldiers didn't dare to get on board, so she got on board with Jiang Lou.

"Jiang Lou, I'll drive. You go to the back and steady them. If they get seasick and vomit, you take care of them. Make sure they sit tight and hold on to their seats. Be careful not to fall. I'll teach you how to drive in a couple of days."

"Here!"

After Jiang Lou left, Qin Xingfu started the boat and slowly maneuvered it towards the sea.

The First Emperor, who was on the second floor, really seemed to be moving.

"Your Majesty! My Lords, please sit down and hold on. We will be very fast in a moment."

Jiang Lou believed Qin Xingfu's words very much. When the First Emperor sat down, the others thought it would be too late, but seeing that the First Emperor had sat down, they all sat down too.

Jiang Lou also had several buckets placed aside. Although everyone didn't understand, they still didn't ask. It would be stupid to ask anything at this time, so they chose to keep silent and just listen to the arrangements.

"Where is Lord Qin?"

Feng Quji didn't see anyone, so he asked Jiang Lou.

"Your Excellency, Lord Qin is sailing down below."

The boat started moving, and a group of people who grew up on land felt slightly uncomfortable and did not ask any further questions.

The boat slowly sailed out of the port and came to the wide sea. Qin Xingfu accelerated. Some guards who did not sit down or hold on were directly overturned. Jiang Lou hurried forward to hold them.

Accelerating, turning, and decelerating, Qin Xingfu was testing the performance of the boat. It was just okay, and the fuel consumption could be improved. When they arrived at the deep sea area, Qin Xingfu stopped and went up to ask the First Emperor if he wanted to go sea fishing.

As a result, I saw a group of people looking pale, some of them had vomited, and the First Emperor did not look well either.

"Your Majesty! How is the speed of this boat? Are you satisfied? The scenery along the way is nice. There are fishing nets on the boat. Your Majesty, would you like to try fishing?"

The First Emperor nodded, and those who had not vomited also came out. They walked out of the cabin and saw the endless sea with no land in sight. He suddenly felt a little frightened and his hand unconsciously clenched his sword.

"Your Majesty, this is a fishing rod, and this is a fishing net."

"Well, I know!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I'll be back in a moment. We haven't really reached the depths of the sea yet. There are a lot of fish here. We can catch some and take them back to eat. They don't have any fishy smell when made into sashimi. I'm sure you'll like them."

Qin Xingfu felt that he was very nervous now, so he comforted him and took a fishing net and cast it down.

No one eats seafood, but there are quite a lot of different kinds of seafood in the sea, with fish swimming in schools. The farther from the shore, the more seafood there is. The fish that were frightened away by the boat just now have swam back.

Qin Xingfu saw the target and cast the net directly. She waited quietly for less than a quarter of an hour and then began to collect the net. Many people were watching her, and she ended up pulling out a very large net.

"Help! It's a bit heavy."

Qin Xingfu was indeed unable to pull it, so Qi Le and the guards stepped forward to help. When it was opened, Qin Xingfu was happy.

"Haha... I'm so lucky that I even caught a tuna. These crabs and shrimps are so big! This big lobster looks fat. I can eat something good today."

In September and October, all seafood is very plump. I heard it is delicious, but everyone has not eaten much yet, just watching her picking and choosing.

"This one can't be eaten, this one is ok, this one is too small..."

You know what, these things are quite nice looking, and many people started to compose poems and couplets.

The First Emperor felt bored. He really didn't like the feeling of the sea. This uneasy feeling made him seem very fragile.

After fishing twice more, they only caught two tunas, so the First Emperor let Qin Xingfu drive the boat back.

When their feet touched the ground, everyone felt much more at ease. When they were on the boat, they were really worried that Qin Xingfu would suddenly become mentally unstable and go crazy.

Today went smoothly and she ended up keeping one small and two big tunas for herself.

Qin Xingfu told Qile how to cook it and let him take it away. The First Emperor liked to eat sashimi, so he would surely never forget the taste of this dish.

When they returned to the house, the child had already been sent back. Yue Xin and the others were waiting for her with the child in their arms. They were worried the whole day, fearing that she might not be normal.

"What's with that look on your face? Are you so unconfident about me? Let's have something nice tonight. Come on, I'll make it myself."

Qin Xingfu took a smaller tuna back home, sliced ​​it and seasoned it herself, with Yinghou helping her.

"Sir, does your head hurt? Let me do it!"

"No, it doesn't hurt at all. My head is so hard."

After a while, the sashimi was ready.

"Come on, try it."

Qin Xingfu invited a few people to come and eat together. Yinghou tried a bite and his eyes lit up.

"It's delicious. The fish is quite big, and the meat is surprisingly tender. It melts in your mouth."

Tan Yao also picked up a piece and nodded continuously.

"It's really good. What's the name of this fish?"

"Hmm... tuna."

Qin Xingfu quickly swallowed it and answered them, it was delicious, even better than those specially supplied to the royal family in later generations.

"Ah ah ah..."

The little boss also wanted to eat, so he pointed at Yue Xin and signaled him to eat.

"Sir, can they be eaten?"

Children nowadays eat similarly to them, except that they eat less salt, less sugar and less spicy food.

"Okay, I'll get them some sauce."

Qin Xingfu quickly prepared the sauce and gave a piece to each of the three children.

"You are still young, you can't eat too much. Just one piece will be enough. Grow up quickly and you will be able to eat anything. Ah... call mom..."

"hemp...hemp..."

The second little one cried out first, and when Qin Xingfu gave it to him, he grabbed it tightly with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth, fearing that someone else would snatch it from him.

“Well…well.”

“Well…well…”

Qin Xingfu was amused by them and gave each of them a kiss.

"Ying Bu, why don't you eat?"

Ying Bu is usually very clingy, why is he so weird today?

"I...I don't really feel like eating."

Ying Bu still couldn't forget how angry she looked that day. He was still frightened, so Qin Xingfu picked up a piece of meat and fed it to him.

"Be good! You've lost weight and you don't look good anymore! Now that the kids are back, don't worry about it. I was wrong before and shouldn't have lost my temper with you."

After hearing what she said, Ying Bu couldn't bear to refuse. He opened his mouth and ate it. It tasted really good, and a trace of joy flashed across his face.

"It's delicious! Eat it yourself."

"My Lord, I want one too!"

Mi Fu opened his mouth and Qin Xingfu also fed him. Then all six people were fed. After eating one fish, Qin Xingfu still felt it was not enough and decided to continue fishing tomorrow.

The First Emperor kept a small portion for himself and gave the rest away as rewards. Then he felt a little regretful as he had not yet eaten it. It would have been great if he could have eaten it in Xianyang as well.

The next day, Qin Xingfu took Jiang Lou, Jiang Lu, Han Xin and others on board and continued to go into the deep sea. The net used today was very large and they caught more seafood. The people at the base couldn't eat it all, so she caught a lot more for the people in Jiaodong County.

The people fishing on the beach were all excited when they saw the big ship and waved to her from the shore.

"My lord! My lord!"

"Oh my god! This boat is so big! It's taller than a house."

"Look, this boat doesn't even need anyone to row it, it moves on its own."

"Your Excellency is truly amazing!"

"Hush! Your Excellency doesn't like to hear such things."

Qin Xingfu instructed Jiang Lou to stop the boat and anchor it. Seeing Lu Ning squeezing in the crowd with a small shovel, he waved to him and motioned him to come over.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Aren't you busy today? Come catch some seafood with them."

Lu Ning felt a little embarrassed. His family was greedy for it, but they didn't want anyone to give it to him, and he didn't want to spend money to buy it, so he just dug it himself.

"Sir, now everyone, take advantage of the good weather and come collect the seafood."

"Now they don't have to work so hard to catch fish. Go and tell them to bring all their fishing gear and fill it with seafood! It's better than what you get at the seaside. Look!"

The seashores have been plucked bare, and some brave people go fishing in more distant places.

Lu Ning looked in the direction of her finger, his mouth formed an "O" shape, and he immediately knelt down.

"On behalf of the people of Jiaodong, I would like to thank you for your great kindness."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and make arrangements, take everything back quickly, and then we can go get a few more boats back."

Teaching people to drive a boat should achieve multiple goals at once!

Lu Ning hurried to arrange people. Looking at the seafood on the big ship, the people in Jiaodong County were excited, and every household got a lot of seafood.

"Line up, no noise! ​​Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will lose their family. I'm talking to you guys, why are you pushing so hard? If you continue to mess around, you will lose your family too."

Lu Ning was really happy and worried. He was almost exhausted by so many people. Most people were well-behaved, but some were not so well-behaved.

After hearing what he said, everyone lined up obediently. Seeing that others had already received their seafood, they hated themselves for being so fussy.

Many people simply took off their clothes to prepare for the event, and some children even had their pants taken off.

Qin Xingfu found this scene both funny and sad.
