Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

"what are you looking for?"

Lin Ke chuckled. In his opinion, women mostly liked to buy clothes and jewelry, which didn't cost much money.

"I want to buy a big ship. Please help me think about it."

If Lin Ke were to take charge, perhaps he could buy some better boats.

After all, in the ship market, the better ships have always been used only by government officials.

"Buy a boat? Don't you already have a boat?"

Xu Yiyi shook her head. "How can this be the same? What I want is a big ship, a two-story building ship, not only for travel, but also for me to eat and live."

Xu Yiyi dreamed of having a boat like that.

The cabins of the building ship are spacious and bright, allowing people to live comfortably.

There must also be a slightly spacious main room with tables and chairs, and a small stove next to it so that she can cook at any time.

There is a special fish hold inside the boat to store as much fish as possible.

This kind of fishing boat is the kind of boat Xu Yiyi likes.

After a few years, when the children at home grow up and don't need her to accompany them all the time, they can go out to sea for a while and travel to other places.

Lin Ke's mouth twitched.

"Then you might have to save up a lot of money."

Lin Ke could guess how much money Xu Yiyi had on hand.

For example, the smallest house ship in the ship market starts at a thousand taels, and it takes several thousand taels to buy a slightly better house ship.

The better ones cost tens of thousands precisely because they are expensive.

So most fishermen buy them by pooling money from several families.

Just like the big fishing boat that Xu Yiyi’s grandparents owned, it cost eight thousand taels of silver.

This was bought by eleven families together with the family's savings.

Able to go to deep sea to catch more valuable fish.

If Xu Yiyi wants to buy a houseboat, it is really not easy.

"I know what you said, but the boat I want should be suitable for me or our family in the future. It doesn't need to be too big."

Although they are all tower ships, the one Xu Yiyi wants is much smaller than the common tower ships in the ship market.

This should be cheaper in terms of price.

Lin Ke thought for a moment and said, "That's not impossible. If you really want it, I'll go back to the capital and see if I can make it for you."

When Xu Yiyi heard this, she smiled with satisfaction.

……

After a simple dinner, Xu Anyang came over and moved the processed ingredients onto the boat.

Lin Ke was curious, so he followed along.

In order not to affect Xu Yiyi's business, he even changed his clothes.

Only when we got to the dock did we find out that this highly respected and old-fashioned old man was willing to give up his own gatehouse to store Xu Yiyi's things just so that he could eat the food she made.

Lin Ke went into the house and chatted with Xiang Yu.

Xu Yiyi took her child and left in a wheelbarrow.

"Miss Yi Yi, do you have any roasted pork belly tonight? If you do, I'll go back and bring my family out!"

Ever since the uncle who bought pork brought pork belly and ribs to exchange for a meal, the customers who had eaten the roasted pork belly that night started to miss it.

"The marinated pork belly and ribs are ready. Once the fire is lit, you can start grilling them. There's more tonight, and there's something even more delicious."

When passersby heard this, they stretched their necks to look.

The pig intestines had changed color and were stuffed with green onions. At first glance, it was almost unrecognizable what they were.

"This isn't a good thing at all, it's just pig intestines."

The person who spoke gave it a look of disdain, covering his nose as if he could smell the original flavor of pig intestines.

Xu Yiyi just smiled without saying anything, waiting for the braised pig intestines to be fried on the iron plate.

The aroma is released and the intestines turn golden brown.

Sihai was originally sitting on a small stool, making a fire. Now he was looking at the iron plate, his lips shining brightly.

Xu Yiyi brushed the sauce on it, making the already fragrant pig intestines smell even more delicious.

"Open your mouth!"

Xu Yiyi picked up a piece of pig intestines with chopsticks, blew on it to his mouth, and after it cooled down, he stuffed it directly into Sihai's mouth.

The child covered his mouth without fear of the burn, as if afraid that the food in his mouth would fall out.

Xu Yiyi fed Sanchuan, Er'er, Ayue, and Xu Anyang in turn, and finally stuffed a piece into her own mouth.

The pig intestines that are braised first and then fried are really fragrant, glutinous, plump and delicious.

The braised pork intestines she made are very chewy, not greasy, and have no fishy smell, and are very rich in flavor.

After frying, it still has the natural and mellow aroma of the braised food.

Especially the green onions wrapped inside, which can relieve greasiness and enhance the flavor, with a slight sweetness. The green onions that are not fully roasted also have a spicy taste.

It’s fried in Sichuan peppercorn oil and coated in chili sauce.

It’s so delicious.

They ate with such relish that the diners were drooling.

"Is your pig intestine really delicious?"

An aunt came up and took a look, and saw Sihai still staring at him eagerly.

Seeing this, Xu Yiyi directly took out half of the pig intestines on the iron plate and asked Sihai and others to take them to eat.

"You'll know by the smell. Something that smells so good must taste good. You can try it."

These are all regular customers, Xu Yiyi is not stingy.

He picked up a piece with a skewer and handed it over for someone to try.

As soon as she put it in her mouth, her eyes seemed to light up.

While still chewing, he asked Xu Yiyi to put a plate on it.

Seeing that the pig intestines on the iron plate were getting less and less, the others couldn't help but ask for some to try.

"Your intestines are good, they go well with wine."

As the man spoke, he picked up another piece of pig intestine and put it into his mouth. Mrs. Wu stood at the stall holding her child, watching her husband enthusiastically introduce their own wine.

She suddenly felt distressed and thought that if she had learned seriously when her father taught her how to make wine.

If I could learn my father's craft, I wouldn't have to sell wine at the dock even though my husband owns the largest wine shop in town.

Guan Hongtian sold his own wine at a low price, set up a stall at the pier, and relied on Xu Yiyi's delicious food.

After all, there is still business.

But from time to time I hear customers say that his wine is not tasty, which makes me feel uncomfortable.

I can only blame my father-in-law for being stupid. He didn't even bother to teach me and just left.

"Hey, I just chatted with the gentleman for a while, and your stall is already crowded with people. Business must be good!"

When Lin Ke came out of the alley, the first thing he saw was the crowds of people at Xu Yiyi's stall.

The line was really long.

Originally, this stall was quite remote, but I never expected that its business would be better than other stalls in better locations.

A slightly peculiar iron plate was piled high with all kinds of seafood, tofu, and even leeks were placed on it.

It's like a hodgepodge.

The only difference is that Xu Yiyi's food is neatly arranged with clear boundaries.

"Your fried food is quite popular."

Xu Yiyi smiled, but fried food is not the best to sell.

It's her sauce that's delicious.
