"How many of these pirates are in Lingxia Town?" Li You asked this question again.
"There are a lot of people. Originally, Lingxia Town was a big seaside town. Now it is said that the remaining men, women, children, and children add up to 400 people, but they are less than 200 in adulthood, while the number of pirates in Chaozhou is more." Nangong Yi explained the situation again.
Li You asked again: "Can you contact them?"
"Yes, they want food, and they will go to the city to buy food every few days. Their boat is not the kind of big boat, it's easier to identify."
After Nangong Yi finished speaking, Li You said: "Then Mr. Lao Nangong will be the case."
"A Lang can rest assured, this is a trivial matter."
Li Youwei smiled and didn't talk about it anymore. Instead, he said to Hongwu, "Hongwu, find some people and go to the sea to catch some good things."
"Young Master feel at ease, I just called someone to go there, and I also called a few people to go hunting in the dense forest. Tonight, there must be a lot of delicious food."
"Okay, that's it, you all go to work."
Yan Zhongxiu left after spending ten days in Zhuhai Garden. He needed to visit everywhere, and Li You sent several people to follow along and waited carefully along the way.
Now that the spring plowing has been completed, the farmers continued to cut down the dense forest as soon as they had nothing to do. Some people started the expansion of the wharf under Li You's arrangement, and everything was proceeding only in an orderly manner.
At a sea curve not far from the Zhuangyuan, Li You brought Yingying, Yao Zhu, Liu Lilan and Liu Yue together to turn over crabs, pick up conch, and dig for yellow sand clams.
I saw Li You and Liu Yue alone holding an iron claw turning over the sandy ground just after retreat. After a while, they picked a lot of yellow sand clams, but Li Lan took Yao Zhu to pick crabs and conch elsewhere. Yingying looked at her and didn't know what to do.
"Brother You, do you want me to dig?" Yingying couldn't hold back in the end.
"Okay, come, here you are. Remember, you don't need too much effort, just dig out the sand. There are so many yellow sand clams here. I guess you can pick up two catties in less than a quarter of an hour."
Yingying learns fast, and indeed there are too many clams here, and she digs a lot in a short while. But Liu Yue said: "Sister Yingying, Brother You made a stone pond there, and we can easily pick up a lot of fish when the tide recedes later." ァ新ヤ~⑧~1 ~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
The so-called stone pond was accidentally seen by Li You last time. It was a rock plate with a pit. Then Li You asked someone to dig out a stone pond of about 30 square meters. In order to facilitate drainage, it was deliberately dug into a slight oblique direction, and a few small water holes were punched. In the middle of the stone pond, there is a puddle of less than three square meters. After the tide is all down, there must be something here, some What, it depends on luck.

When a few people came to Shitang, the water hadn't flowed out yet, but it couldn't be long. Li You has seen two groupers and one moray, knowing that today's harvest is not small.
In the pavilion of the manor's back house, Li Yao and Yin'er were also drinking tea and chatting here at this time, and the conversation was naturally Li You and Yingying. Yingying is fourteen years old, and she will be married next year. She is considered to be able to marry. Now she is with Li You every day. No one can see that this is a childhood sweetheart.
"Madam, it seems that Yingying will marry into Li's family after all, I'm afraid Madam can't wait for a few years."
Li Yao smiled and said, "You, how old is You'er? I like Yingying this child. If they can succeed in the future, I would be happy. By the way, Yin'er, you and Yao There is no need to separate now, but we have to prepare to have children."
When Yin'er heard this, she said helplessly: "He wants a son, but I haven't moved yet. I'm really scared."
"This matter can't come in a hurry, so why bother you, just relax."
As soon as Li Yao finished speaking, Li You returned with a few girls carrying a bamboo basket. After seeing her mother, Li You immediately stepped forward to greet her, and Yingying did the same.
"Mother, Yin Gu, we caught some seafood today. I plan to cook some dishes for my mother myself."
Li Yao covered her mouth and smiled and said: "You'er has a heart, Niang Ke will wait with your silver aunt, you guys go."
In the kitchen, several girls watched how Li You handles the ingredients, thinking about one thing, why Li You seemed so skilled in making these, even the few servants on the side, even though Li You occasionally cooks something to eat. Yes, but this is the first time they have seen him busy in the kitchen.
After Li You processed the eel, he began to process two groupers. After he put the grouper on a cutting board and stunned, he threw it into the hot water and blanched it for a while. Then he fished out the fish and threw it into the cold water. It was only after the water was too cold that the scales of the fish began to be removed. After the mouth was broken, the fish body was wiped evenly with salt.
Then put the fish on the plate, sprinkle with ginger, put it in the steamer, put some soy sauce in a bowl and put it in the steamer together, and then instructed the cook at home to wait for the steam to come up and put the basket on it. Steam for half a quarter of an hour, just take it out at that time, sprinkle with shredded green onions, and drizzle with soy sauce.
At this time, at the Guangzhou Wharf, Jiang Chun was about to board the ship and return to Zhuhai Garden. He saw two large cannibalistic ships on the side. Each ship was hauling wood, or teak wood. This wood, Jiang Chun I have seen and heard that this wood is the best for boats.
The wood used for marine vessels is generally fir, the best is oak, and the top is teak. A sea-going ship made of cedar can last for up to ten years before it can be used again. Because cedar is light cork, the hull of the ship is at risk of being corroded by sea water and marine life. When the light wood is immersed in sea water for a long time, water and salt will gradually penetrate into the wood and be filled with various fiber tissues. The cork will sink eventually.
The teak wood is very different. It is almost a wood specially created for sailing. It is dense and lighter than water. In the case of sun and rain, and large changes in dryness and wetness, it will not crack or crack. . Moreover, it is resistant to water and fire, and it is also resistant to termites and sea worms in different sea areas, and it is extremely resistant to corrosion. It has good drying properties, adhesive, paint, and waxing properties. The reason for this feature is that the teak contains silicon.
Because the teak wood is not produced in Datang, it is difficult to see the sea boats made of teak wood. Now some teak sea boats in the Datang, it is estimated that you can count them with your fingers. If you see it now, he will definitely ask. .
But when he asked, his brows were frowned. The price was indeed too high. A piece of wood cost twenty taels of gold, and he had to give up. He came out to sell the wood. There is too much wood in the dense forest. He couldn't use it up at all, so Li You asked him to transport the extra lumber and sell it. The ship of lumber he transported was not as expensive as the others. (End of this chapter)
