After the aborigines on the island finished picking up the fish, they saw a big net of shellfish and didn't dare to touch it.
Someone shouted and ran to help dig up the razor clams. The shell of the razor clams was worthless, but the meat was delicious.
In the eyes of Li Yi and the others, shellfish were food.
The aborigines looked at the shells for money.
The shell of the shellfish that was the hardest to get was valuable, and there was also a difference in size.
If one wanted to get rare shellfish, luck was a factor, but it didn't last long.
Only those who were good at swimming and could dive to deeper places could succeed.
Those who were good at swimming were better than others, whether it was trading or fishing.
The big shells could hold water, and the strong ones could be used as knives or shovels.
Li Yi brought over clean water and put the razor clams in the water. He didn't give them to the aborigines.
Fish and shellfish were gifts. The big bamboo razor clams could be eaten after cooking. It was best to stir-fry them.
The other shellfish were also delicious when stir-fried.
"Let's treat them to some chili sauce." Li Yi thought of stir-frying and craved it.
"Li Lang, when there are more chili peppers in the place, you can plant them everywhere? It won't hurt to eat them. "
Princess Yongmu considered the place where they were going to have chili peppers. It was worthless to have more.
Li Yi shook his head slightly. "Anyone who goes there is not allowed to bring back chili peppers to plant. Search them when they disembark. Kill them if you catch them."
Li Yi refused. Did he have to plant more? Chili peppers were not necessary for survival.
It was not like corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
He didn't want to directly plant tomatoes for the people of the Tang dynasty, including sunflower seeds, kidney beans, and other crops.
However, kidney beans were delicious, and the people needed more vegetables. Tomatoes could be used as fruits. It was not easy for the people to buy fruits from other places in summer.
Sunflower seeds were dried fruits, and oil could be extracted from them.
Peanuts, oil crops, snacks, and vegetables were even more important.
As for pumpkins, they could grow very big and be used as vegetables and food.
Only chili peppers could be eaten or not.
He could continue to grow them and sell them for a lot of money.
"I'll make more garlic chili sauce later. Let's eat it together." Li Yi was craving it again.
He remembered that he had garlic chili sauce in the past. It was spicy and fragrant.
Later, it changed. It wasn't spicy enough, and the taste of garlic didn't feel right.
At that time, he didn't understand. He just didn't like it anymore.
Later on, he realized that the chili had changed. The previous chili was more expensive, and the minced garlic had also changed. This was because there was a period of time when the price of garlic had been inflated.
Ever since the taste of the chili sauce changed, the sales suddenly dropped, just like the beef chili sauce.
There would always be managers who would play tricks and forget what the foundation of their development was. They would play with innovation and ruin themselves.
Li Yi decided to make the flavor of the past. He missed it so much. Then, he could research new flavors, but he couldn't make the original flavor disappear.
Just like soy sauce, fermented bean curd, and stinky tofu, there were new varieties with other ingredients, and the same ones were sold.
While they were talking, they dug out a large area of razor clams.
The islanders had smiles on their faces. They could tell that the person who delivered the fish wanted to eat it, so they didn't eat it.
The female leader shouted and pointed at Li Yi.
The islanders were stunned at first. After seeing so many shells and then looking at Li Yi, they burst into cheers.
He waded through the water and took the shells out of the net.
First, he found the big ones and put them in one place. Then, he found the smaller ones and put them in another place.
The smallest ones were also grouped together and the patterns were selected.
Whichever one was more valuable was placed separately.
Of course, these things didn't belong to them directly. They had to wait for the female leader to distribute them.
Even so, they were still happy. The leader promised to give them more.
Now, they should be under a matriarchal social system, but there was a difference. It was similar to Guam.
They adopted the method of having children with people from other places, so they were happy when they saw a foreign man.
Like the Winged Knights. The women on the island looked at them with shining eyes.
They didn't care too much when they looked at Li Yi. Li Yi didn't work shirtless and looked delicate.
The women on the island didn't like strong men.
When the four craftsmen started to work, they felt that a man who could make things was also good.
As for the six officials … they stood aside.
The men on the island also looked at the women in Li Yi's group and were slightly disappointed. If they weren't strong, they wouldn't be able to do much work.
But looking at them, they had a different impulse. Anyway, they wouldn't be able to keep the children. If …
The female leader observed his body language and started shouting again.
In an instant, the men and women on the island looked disappointed. It turned out that they couldn't do it.
Today, Li Yi treated the islanders to grilled fish. He brushed some sauce and oil on it, dipped it in dry ingredients, cumin powder, pepper powder, chili powder, and salt.
The shells were also grilled. If the shells weren't grilled, they would break. People even used them as tools.
"Master, they know how to make pottery? Why not? "
The little girl saw that the islanders took out less than 50 pieces of all kinds of strange pottery and didn't understand.
"Change. They don't know how to make pottery. They will make an exchange.
On the island we went to before, they made their own pottery, so there weren't many of them.
They used wood to make pottery. The temperature of the kiln wasn't high enough, so they couldn't make porcelain.
Sometimes, all of them would be wasted in one kiln. The yield was low. It was a technical problem. "
Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, there was something that his eldest disciple didn't understand.
The little girl nodded. "In the few counties around my house, some families only have one or two pieces of pottery. Some of them can't bear to throw away their broken pottery. Those that can't be sawed off will be fried in large pieces."
Li Yi's expression turned gloomy when he heard this.
"However, Master, that was in the past. Ever since you taught us many good methods and everyone has some money, everyone has bought new pottery."
The little girl instantly changed her mind and looked at her master with a smile.
"Naughty!" Li Yi knew that he had been tricked. He tapped his eldest disciple's forehead.
He felt a sense of accomplishment. He had changed the trajectory of many people's lives.
"Master, have you started to build the railway? Will they build it properly when you're not around? "The little girl thought of another matter.
"When I'm not around, they have to work harder. Otherwise, they will lose their heads.
It's just that the beginning of spring will delay the planting. Fortunately, it's not time yet, so there are many people planting indica rice.
Henan Province should be soaking the fields with water and raising seedlings at the same time. I left behind two planting methods to be used together. "
Li Yi wasn't worried that someone wouldn't do a good job. The entire imperial court had invested a lot of money, and he hoped that they would be able to earn back their capital quickly.
Whoever dared to cause trouble in this matter would be directly beheaded.
"Two methods?" The little girl blinked her big eyes.
"Transplanting and throwing seedlings. I'm not sure which method is better, but I'll give it a try." Li Yi was a little conflicted about this.
He wasn't sure how to operate it. Fortunately, it was easy to adjust. Even if there was a difference in output between the two methods, he could just change it in the next batch.
"Master, I'll talk to her. I think she wants to come over."
The little girl also didn't know which method was better. She saw the female leader looking over here.
She picked up her things and ran over to talk to her.
"This talent, sigh! Learn medicine! Don't be the prime minister. It's tiring! "Li Yi watched his eldest disciple conversing skillfully. His mood was complicated.
