MTL - My Wife is the Villain King Shark-Chapter 4

Jiang Chaosheng poured out all the small fish and laid them flat on the table. He noticed that these small silver fish were also mixed with fish from shallow water. The scales of the latter were smaller and the meat was relatively tender. .

Although the color of the fried fish is almost the same, Jiang Chaosheng can see at a glance that the two types of fish are different in size, dryness, and quantity from the original. The guy who secretly replaced the dried fish was obviously not careful enough. stuffing.

The other party didn't seem to have any bad intentions. There was no poison or medicine in the dried fish. It was just sprinkled with too much sugar, which was so sweet that it was more like a boring prank than a warning.

Jiang Chaosheng skipped the faces of Haimin and the servants in his mind. The yard was locked yesterday. Even if he drank and slept more heavily than usual, their movements would wake him up. No one had the motivation or ability to do this. kind of thing.

There may still be some residents in the sea area that Jiang Chaosheng didn't notice, but it's not written in the book, so if you don't write it, you shouldn't have seen it. It is impossible to eat dried small fish with alkaline water. Jiang Chaosheng poured all the dried small fish into a large bucket and went back to sleep.

The seagulls hovered in the air, and the birds always woke up early, their eyes twitching and seeing everything. The sky gradually brightened, the sun dissipated the mist, and the residents of the island also got up early.

The elderly and weak, women and children do not dare to go fishing in the high seas, because it is too dangerous. Seafood is worthless in the offshore area, and the crops that can be exchanged are very limited. Although they are not hungry, the villagers in Xiaohai Village are very poor, and they still need to rely on hard work to make a living.

These people brought by Jiang Chaosheng also woke up, and the palace servants always got up earlier than the nobles. When I opened my eyes and found that it was bright, many people were still startled. After washing and grooming, they hurriedly rushed towards the courtyard where King An lived, hoping that they would not be punished for waking up late.

They reached the gate, but were caught by something else: "What is this?!"

The exclamations of these people alarmed Jiang Chaosheng. The latter yawned and opened the door from the courtyard, and his voice was tired: "What's the matter, I was shocked early in the morning."

He opened the door as he spoke, and then the whole person was silent. The house was very large, and the gate of the large house involved was about two feet wide. However, the door was usually locked and could not be opened. I found that the door of my house was blocked by a large shell.

It was a large shell with a length of one zhang and a width of half a zhang. It looked bright and colorful. Most of the water on the surface of the shell had been evaporated by the sun. The beads shone with colorful luster in the morning light.

"This is a pearl oyster, and there are only such large shellfish in the deep sea." After watching the lively Haimin Ah Lang popped his head out, this young man was more daring than the others. Moreover, during this period of time, Jiang Chaohe has talked to him a lot in a friendly manner, and also gave him some gadgets that are only available in the outside world. He felt that this high-ranking official was very amiable, at least not from outside. Officials are so scary.

The islanders are simple and direct, A Lang's small eyes stared at the big shell, and he admired from the bottom of his heart: "You are really amazing, you can get such a good thing!"

The servants looked at each other in dismay. They slept very deeply last night, and it was impossible for them to take a huge risk and go out to sea to fetch seashells as gifts. They made eye contact with each other. No matter what, the precious items placed in front of An Wang's house were by default their master's.

Alang asked curiously, "Can I touch it?"

Jiang Chaosheng naturally agreed: "Yes."

Ah Lang walked over to the shell and tapped it, then pushed it with his hand. The shell was so heavy that he, a strong man, couldn't move it. Like a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, the young Haimin looked, heard, asked, and cut the rare large shell, and exclaimed in unskilled Mandarin: "The shell is heavy, so it should still be alive, hurry up and take a look, if there is a large pearl inside. , it must be very valuable!"

Not only him, but other people also showed their expectations. Following the Eleventh Prince, they had also seen the world. If they were able to dig out an unparalleled pearl, they would not be short of money in the future.

Jiang Chaosheng poured cold water: "This king sees it as a dead shell with nothing." He didn't feel any life breath in the shell.

A Lang, who was questioned about his own skills, was very unconvinced: "None of you live by the sea. I can't guarantee whether there are big pearls. This shell is definitely alive!" He listed several characteristics.

Jiang Chaosheng said, "Do you dare to gamble with me?"

He took out a bar of silver, and the silver bills at the bottom of the box were washed away by the sea, but the gold and silver were hard currency: "This is a dozen taels of silver, if you win the bet, the mussels and the silver are yours, if you bet Now, take us to Wangzhou Market without paying a penny, do you dare to gamble?"

To Ah Lang, 10 taels of silver is also a lot of money, but the price he pays is just a day's work, and he would have to travel to and from Wangzhou often: "Really?"

Jiang Chaosheng put away his smile: "This king's words count, when did he lie to you?"

"That's right!" Tingzhu, who wanted to atone for his sins, immediately took it as a slap in the face, "Our lord is full of promises, but the nobles from the capital, how could they be greedy for something like you!"

Ah Lang believed, and immediately found a tool to open a large shell.

"Protect your face and hands well, the shells are not necessarily good things." If he wanted to leave it in his last life, Jiang Chaosheng would definitely throw away the big shells that he didn't know where he came from, because he would suspect that there was an explosion inside. However, now he has no premonition of danger, so he just lets Ah Lang move. After all, the aborigines are sparsely populated, and everyone's life is precious.

The dead large shell was easily pried open, but fortunately there was no rotting odor, and the inside of the shell was clean, with only some seawater flowing. After opening the shell, the seawater locked inside poured down, instantly hitting the ground wet. The shells used to hide the Emperor Shark were naturally nothing.

Surprised, Ah Lang took the bamboo pole and pulled it inside, and his small eyes suddenly turned into big ones. Except for the sea water, there was nothing in the big shell, not to mention big pearls, there were no small pearls like rice grains.

"Who is so bad, who hides a pile of water in a big shell and hides it so well!" Instead of giving the big pearl, you can give some shellfish meat! How excited Ah Lang was before, how disappointed he is now.

Jiang Chaosheng knew this, but he didn't feel much loss in his heart, but his expression was indifferent: "No pie will fall from the sky."

Ah Lang was convinced, and raised his thumb to the light-hearted outsider: "You are amazing!"

Tingzhu's eyes were filled with admiration, and the reliable and indifferent side of the host gradually replaced the original image of manic and irritable.

Although there was nothing in the shell, Jiang Chaosheng ordered someone to keep it and drag it to the warehouse outside temporarily. Such a big thing can be washed and cleaned, and it can be used as two big pots for making big pots of rice. The ashes burned at that time are good fertilizers for farming.

Speaking of pies, the hungry Jiang Chaosheng regained his appetite: "Let's fry pies today." On the Jade Emperor before, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the stored eggs were all shattered. The soldiers who came to the number have eaten up, otherwise they would still be able to spread an egg pancake today.

But seafood pies are also delicious. There is no shortage of all kinds of seafood on the beach. Jiang Chaosheng asked people to buy a lot of small sea shrimp from the villagers, which can be made into shrimp pies, which are fragrant and fresh.

Seeing that the sky was fine today, and the sea was calm, Jiang Chaosheng had left a dozen people to watch the house, brought half of his servants, and hired the villagers of Xiaohai Village to go out to sea. He didn't pay Ah Lang's wages, but the other villagers agreed on stipends, and they didn't give much, only 10% higher than the local wages. He needs these people to lead the way and go to Wangzhou to bring back all kinds of seeds that he is thinking of.

Before leaving, Jiang Chaosheng asked someone to take out the big bucket in the house, which contained about four or five kilograms of dried fish. , and simply use it as a bait for fishing.

In the deep sea, Ji Xuanbing finally straightened out his long hair and fried the dried fish all night. He smelled food all over his body, and a lot of oil was splashed on his clothes. How could he face such an ugly appearance? See you!

After finally taking a shower and changing clothes, Lan Jing felt that she was beautiful enough, and Ji Xuanbing remembered the matter of the big seashell only afterward. As a result, when she asked, the sky was already bright, and the seashell had been pried open by the benefactor.

He heard the betting process, and his eyes were bright: "As expected of the benefactor, he is very smart."

That Haimin kid was dumbfounded, the one who won the bet was not himself, but Ji Xuanbing looked even more proud than Jiang Chaosheng.

Ji Xuanbing shouted and reprimanded the mussel spirit who gave him the idea: "This emperor has already said that your method is unreliable. How can others not see such a big shell."

The Emperor Shark firmly refused to admit his fault. If he hadn't instructed, how could the water race under him dare to act rashly. This young master of the sea has no bad temper at all.

Hearing the wise deeds of the benefactor, Ji Xuanbing was in a good mood. He reprimanded his subordinates for their ineffectiveness, and did not punish them too much. The mermaid held his cheeks and imagined that the benefactor was tasting the small dried fish. Perhaps the Engong will sigh that the food is really delicious, but it is completely impossible to guess that part of it was secretly fried by himself.

Jiang Chao gave birth to the sea, and Ji Xuanbing also left the deep sea after hearing the words. Seeing that there were swimming fish passing by, Jiang Chaosheng scattered a lot of small fish to dry them, and the swimming fish rushed up.

"Didn't your lord say you want to fish with these small fish?" If you spread it like this, it's a total giveaway.

Jiang Chaosheng shook the shallow bottom of the bucket: "You can't use so many bait for fishing, and it's not a waste of food for the fish to eat."

Ji Xuanbing, who was quietly following behind, found that Engong had thrown away his fried small fish! Although it was used to feed the fish, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, after all, it was his hard work last night that he worked hard for so long.

"Go away!" He waved away the fish and picked up a small wet dried fish, his emerald green eyes showing sadness.

After bowing his head and taking a bite, Ji Xuanbing was shocked: the dried small fish is sweet, and the taste is completely different from that of Engong fried. It must have been discovered by Engong after tasting it! Engong ate his own dried fish!

Ji Xuanbing wasn't sad anymore, but when he thought that his benefactor threw the dried small fish because it was too unpalatable, his cheeks were puffed up, and of course he wasn't angry with his benefactor. The food is not delicious, so he feeds the fish in order not to waste it. Engong is really diligent and thrifty! It's all to blame for those Shui clans, this year's people are really stupid, and they don't even know how to remind him, none of them can be trusted! Repayment is still up to you!

Ji Xuanbing didn't fight with the fish, he threw the small dried fish out, then reached out and scooped up all the fish and threw them all on the deck.

The fish swarms ate the dried fish, and the Duke ate the fish, rounding up, if he ate the dried dried fish that he fried. Ji Xuanbing was extremely proud: he was a genius who knew how to settle accounts, just like his benefactor!

Jiang Chaosheng, who had already made a huge harvest before going to sea, looked at the fish jumping on the deck: ? ? ? ! !
