Chapter 89: The harvest of the beach, the idea of ​​salt

    "Since Madam asked this, the slaves naturally dared not hide them. In fact, the slaves heard about it when she took office as the master. I am afraid that the current emperor will be the king of the subjugated country. It’s just a matter of time and night, my master seems to have deals with some powerful people, but I don’t know about these things, and now that they have left the place, the slaves don’t want to be involved with those people anymore.”

    Gu Shuixiu nodded, she did not expect Cuixi to tell any substantive news. She is really afraid.

    However, Yao's Cuixi really knows any secrets, so I'm afraid it won't be sold, but will go directly to the west.

    The two are still talking, and Dong Chenghu has returned.

    Gu Shuixiu had a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, as long as she saw Dong Chenghu, she always felt at ease, just like when she lived in a cave at night when she was terrified, as long as Dong Chenghu was by her side, she could sleep Must be solid.

    "How is it?" Gu Shuixiu asked happily towards Dong Chenghu on the ground.

    Dong Chenghu didn't know why he walked away for a while, why Shuixiu became so happy, could it be because he hadn't gone out for a long time, he felt better when he saw the sea?

    Dong Chenghu wondered if he should take Gu Shuixiu out for another chance to make her happy.

    "There is no trace of outsiders. It is very safe. You can come down. Be careful, I will pick you up on the ground."

    Gu Shuixiu nodded and went down first, followed by Cuixi.

    The three of them crossed the high **** and found that their vision was wider.

    Being too late to appreciate the beautiful scenery, Gu Shuixiu directly lifted her trousers into the water in front of them both. Gu Shuixiu was so unscrupulous, she would wet her pants when she went directly into the water.

    Just as Cuixi hesitated, Gu Shuixiu said to her, "Cuixi, you picked up the seaweed from your family on the beach, and spread all the seaweed on the beach to dry."

    Cuixi has something to do, so she nodded hurriedly.

    Gu Shuixiu has no worries now, groping frantically on the beach, she has not eaten fresh seafood for more than a year, she is already greedy.

    Some of the sea fish that were stranded in the puddle due to the low tide were as small as a finger and as large as a man's palm, which made Gu Shuixiu happy.

    What surprised her even more was that she caught a moray eel, which is not common on the beach.

    Gu Shuixiu has gained a lot, and Dong Chenghu is not far behind. This time, he had his nets ready.

    A fishing net was placed around the picked seaweed, and then the seaweed was started frantically, and it was not soft at all when picking. Animals such as fish and shrimp hidden in the seaweed were frightened and fled.

    When the seaweeds are picked, there will be harvests in the fishing nets.

    The three of them cooperated tacitly and stopped to rest after working for a long time.

    Gu Shuixiu was still not idle, and went around the beach to investigate, then sat next to Dong Chenghu and said, "Chenghu, I plan to build a small salt field on this beach."

    As soon as these words came out, both Dong Chenghu and Cuixi looked sluggish, Dong Chenghu didn't realize what Yantian was, but Cuixi was stunned by Gu Shuixiu's boldness.

    "Madam, this salt is something controlled by the imperial court. Ordinary people cannot mine it privately and trade it. If it is issued, it will be a big crime for the Nine Clan!"

    Cuixi felt that she had to convince Gu Shuixiu to give up this terrible idea immediately.

    Dong Chenghu understands the role of salt fields only now. Although he has little knowledge, he also knows that the salt is controlled by the imperial court. The last time the owner of the pharmacy had an accident because of smuggling salt, but Dong Chenghu still remembers it fresh. .

    "I know what you said, I will build a small salt field, it is not big, it is about four times the size of this fire, and I don't sell it. No need to go out and buy salt frequently.

      The price of salt has risen, so it is better for us to be self-sufficient, so that we don't have to go out to buy.

    I'm still thinking, to make some food, I will use a lot of salt, if I buy it, it's not worth it! "

    This sentence is the key point. The two who already knew Gu Shuixiu complained in their hearts.

    There are so many great truths that I said before because I don't want to spend money, and I want to get some salty food.

    Cuixi has no right to criticize the master, so she has to turn her attention to Dong Chenghu. If Dong Chenghu does not object, she will dig this salt field immediately. Anyway, it is only the size of four fire pits, so it will be easy to dig it up. A moment of effort.

    Sure enough, Dong Chenghu, who loves his wife like his life, nodded without hesitation, and even expressed his support for Gu Shuixiu's career. Cuixi sighed inwardly, and stood up resignedly and was about to dig the fields.

    "Wait, don't worry now, we want to build a salt field, it's better to use bricks as a bedding, otherwise the water will easily seep into the soil and can't be retained at all, and also, we need to produce salt It is necessary to raise salt, and let your master go out to buy some salt and come back to make mother salt. Don't worry now, let's go back and have a long-term plan. "

    Cuixi doesn't understand this. Since she is not in a hurry now, she will not do it. Anyway, it is always right to follow the master's instructions.

    The three of them rested for a while and then started to rush back.

    When I went back, Dong Chenghu went up first, let him lift all the baskets up with ropes and put them on the ground at the other end, and finally picked up Gu Shuixiu and Cuixi, and waited for them to land safely Well, he will take care of the aftermath.

    Dong Yunmei had been waiting at home for them to come back. Seeing that the three of them were all smiling with their baskets on their backs, Dong Yunmei grinned unconsciously.

    This usually means that they want to add a meal.

      Hehe, Dong Yunmei stayed with a few children all afternoon, smiling all the time.

    Gu Shuixiu came back and kept praising Xiao Yuanxu. Gu Shuixiu's heart softened unbelievably, she took off the sackcloth before she could pack up, and quickly picked up Dong Yuanxu.

    "Mother's good baby, I haven't breastfed for so long, you are hungry! Mother will take you back to breastfeed!"

    The little baby seemed to feel something, and even laughed out loud. It caused Dong Yunmei to sigh "tsk tsk tsk", and she was really the closest to her mother!
