Chapter 243
The man hung his head, his clothes were ragged, and he was holding a tattered fish basket.

"Uncle Zhou?"

Feng Bailing saw the person coming, and recognized him as Uncle Zhou, a villager in the fishing village who gave her oysters.

"Master Feng, I was snatched away."

The other party felt ashamed and did not dare to go to see Feng Bailing.

"What happened to you? How did you get beaten like this? Who beat you?"

Feng Bailing looked at the other party, and saw that his cheeks were bruised and swollen, obviously he had been beaten.

"Someone came to our village to collect shellfish, and the price was [-]% higher than that offered by Zuixianju. The villagers all sold the shellfish they had saved at home. I thought you have a great kindness to our family, and you can't be ignorant for money. If I have a conscience, I refuse to sell it. That group beat me up, and I was almost robbed. I wasted time, and I just rushed over."

Uncle Zhou said, tears came down.

"Uncle Zhou, you have been wronged."

Feng Bailing understood in her heart, needless to say, Chu Yuelou must have done this.

Although Chef Liu didn’t know the raw materials for making oily oysters, but Uncle Zhou came to Zuixianju to deliver the goods. The oysters were not used to make dishes, but were sent to the Princess’s Mansion. The other party made inferences. It is not difficult to infer that the raw material for making oily oysters is oysters .

"It's me who is useless. What I promised to the princess was messed up. I also tried to reason with the villagers, but they didn't listen, and even excluded our family."

Uncle Zhou just sighed.

Feng Bailing knew in her heart that the little Zuixianju was really no match for Chu Yuelou in terms of wealth and power.

The production of oysters in Dachu is very limited. This batch was robbed, and it is almost impossible to find someone to go to the seaside to collect them.

She cleaned and bandaged the wound for Uncle Zhou, and picked up the broken fish basket that Uncle Zhou had brought.

In the fish basket, there were also some small oysters, which were kept by the other party because they looked down on them.

"Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu, I think Uncle Zhou, you don't have to go back to the fishing village."

Feng Bailing advised.

"Don't go back? Then how will our family live? I can't read a few big characters, and I can't support my family even if I leave the sea."

Uncle Zhou said anxiously.

"Uncle Zhou, you don't need to leave the sea, just let you move in a little bit, and you don't have to go fishing every day. How about you be responsible for raising shellfish in the future?"

After hearing Feng Bailing's words, Uncle Zhou and shopkeeper Wang were stunned.

I have heard of raising pigs and ducks, but I have not heard of raising shellfish.

After all, in today's Dachu, although the aquaculture industry has developed well, but for seafood, aquaculture is almost blank.

There are only some fishermen near the sea, and they make a living by going out to sea to fish, and almost no one pays attention to mariculture.

Although Uncle Zhou didn't quite understand it, it was Feng Bailing who said it, and Uncle Zhou trusted her very much.

He thought about it, and made up his mind.

"Princess, my old Zhou is a rough man. If you trust me, I can give you my life. I just ask my family to have something to eat."

"Don't worry, not only can you have enough food, but you can also make a lot of money."

After Feng Bailing finished speaking, she asked Shopkeeper Wang to call for a carriage. After the carriage was found, she asked Shopkeeper Wang to bring a message to the princess' mansion, saying that she was going to Qi Village.

Around dusk, a carriage galloped on the official road, heading towards Xinqi Village.

Before and after lighting the lamp, Feng Bailing brought Lao Zhou to Xinqi Village.

Seeing that it was getting late, the old village chief arranged for Feng Bailing and old Zhou to rest first.

The next day, just after the rooster crowed, Feng Bailing got up.

It has been almost a month since the villagers moved to Xinqi Village.

The soil here is fertile, the waterways are criss-cross, and the crops in the fields are growing well.

Feng Bailing walked along the river for a mile or two, and the river merged into the sea.

The sea breeze is blowing, with a salty smell.

The air is very humid and humid, and because it is adjacent to the sea, the climate in this area is also milder than that in Chu.

Feng Bailing took out a thermometer from the first aid kit and measured the water temperature. She had dealt with a marine expert when she was a medical soldier.

The other party said that the suitable temperature for seafood farming is about 15-25°C, and the temperature in this area of ​​Xinqi Village is around 20°C in late spring and early summer, which is very suitable for farming.

Oysters also have relatively low requirements for seawater salinity, and the mixing of nearby seawater and river water also meets the conditions for cultivation.

The water area ahead was even wider, and just after dawn, the surface of the water was covered with a faint golden light.

This water area is a mixed area of ​​sea water and river water, and the water spirit is also abundant, which is just suitable for nourishing the holy seal of water. Luang Po said that the holy seal of water needs to constantly absorb the water spirit to become stronger.

Today's Holy Seal of Water is like a child who has just learned to crawl. If it wants to grow quickly, it needs to absorb a lot.

Feng Bailing summoned the Holy Seal of Water and released it from her body.

A flash of light was seen, and the Holy Seal of Water was like a fish in the water. It had never seen such a wide water area, and it was swimming around happily.

The Holy Seal of Water purifies the water quality in the water, while Feng Bailing inspects the surrounding environment. After inspection, she confirms that it is possible to directly dig fish ponds and build river and sea farms here.

"Uncle Zhou, we are going to dig a few big ponds here, close to the sea, and dig a few water outlets on the ridges on the north and south sides of the pond to bring in the sea water. Oysters are raised on rafts, and it is best to find some moso bamboo , into a raft."

Feng Bailing selected several areas to dig ponds, and the old village chief found villagers who hadn't landed to start digging ponds.

Li Shi went to the mountains to cut moso bamboo with some peasant women in the village.

At the end of the day, all the villagers and Lao Zhou were busy, the pond had begun to take shape, and the bamboo rafts had already been tied up.

Since Da Chu had no plastic products, Feng Bailing asked the villagers to hang long cages made of coarse cloth and hemp under the bamboo rafts, and asked Lao Zhou to put his few small oysters in them.

On the one hand, it is close to the sea estuary, which is convenient for diverting water out. On the other hand, the seawater in the area where the Holy Seal of Water has been active can be regarded as half a spiritual spring. The seawater here will definitely make the oyster seedlings grow faster and better.

After a busy day, the faces of Lao Zhou and a group of villagers were even more tanned, but these simple villagers did not complain of hardship or tiredness, but were full of confidence.

"Old Zhou, don't worry, Princess Wu is a capable person, and the method she gave you will definitely be able to feed your babies."

The old village head took Uncle Zhou to drink, and Li Shi took Feng Bailing's hand, insisting to keep her for dinner.

"No, I came out in a hurry. I just told the mansion that the children are still waiting for me in the mansion. Especially Xiaoli, she loves to cling to me."

Feng Bailing calculated that under such conditions, oyster seedlings should be able to grow successfully within three days.

At that time, the river and sea fields can be used to raise oysters on a large scale. Only when the oysters are raised can she take care of Nalan Yuer.
