At the end of the day, the sun is still strong.

At the estuary where the Wusong River and Huangpu River meet, six large sea boats are lined up along the river bank, about fifty feet apart from each other. Therefore, the six large ships stretched three miles and were several feet apart from the river bank. In addition, the cabins and the masts that were more than ten feet high looked extremely visually impactful, which attracted a large number of civilians nearby to gather on the river bank to watch.

When Chen Xu came, the mouth of the river was bustling and jubilant. In addition to tens of thousands of onlookers and crew members, hundreds of local fishermen's fishing boats and dozens of merchant ships loaded with cargo were docked between the large ships. The largest was seven or eight or even ten feet in size, and the smaller one was only more than meter long.

A few earthen stoves were built with stones on the river beach. There were smoke rising in the earthen stove, and many clams and scallops were stewed in the large iron pot. There was also a strong fragrance in the air, with a distinct sauce-flavored seafood.

On the grass around the earthen stove, some neatly dressed or even gorgeously dressed together in groups of old and young people, wearing simple tableware such as enamel basins and even tiled pottery bowls, were rolling up their sleeves and eating shells. The sound of sucking and chewing together. Between the beach and the grass, there were eaten shells everywhere. While these people were talking and laughing loudly, they did not forget to say a delicious word.

"My benefactor, what do you mean?" There is still half a mile away across the river beach, and the crowd is already blocked in the front.

"It seems like you are eating..." Chen Xu stood slightly while stepping on the stirrups and looked out, but through the reeds and thorns on the river bank, he could only see a crowd of black and hilarious people, and a few scents of rising cooking smoke. There was also a familiar fragrance in the air wafting in the wind.

"Hey, I'm asking this guy, what happened ahead? Why are there so many people?" Yu Wuya jumped off the horse and called out a young dark-skinned young man.

"Oh, there were several large sea boats here for two consecutive days. I heard that it was Qinghehou's fleet. Last night, the chef on the boat made some delicious sea shells taught by Qinghehou, so many people came to taste it today. I heard that ten yuan per basin was a porridge, but unfortunately we couldn't afford it, so we could only smell the fragrance outside..." The young man saw that Yu Wuya, Chen Xu and others were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and they were not locals, so he answered politely.

"Ten coins per basin, so cheap?" Yu Wuya curled his lips in surprise.

"Hey, don't say that this gentleman is cheap. You have to know that no one eats these seashells on weekdays and no one is willing to spend money to buy them. You can make hundreds of kilograms a day outside the mouth of the river. Even if it is one or three or five kilograms, someone is willing to make them. Ten is only twenty or thirty, which is simply outrageously expensive, okay?" A middle-aged man carrying fishing gear next to him couldn't help but retort.

"It's indeed expensive, but I heard that the taste is also very beautiful. It's the cooking method that Qinghehou passed on on the island opposite Wuzhong. It's reasonable to be more expensive, but it's a pity that I can't afford it!" Another man with bare feet carrying a bundle of wooden sticks also echoed.

"Drop off the horse, go and take a look!" Chen Xu greeted, and Shang Qi, Shui Qingrou, Yu Ji, Xia Zijin, and Yu Ji were all dismounted, and then a group of people led their horses to the river beach from the crowded crowd. When passing by a large boat, the crew members standing on the boat had already discovered the whereabouts of Chen Xu and others, and immediately shouted excitedly that the Marquis was back. In an instant, the entire river beach immediately became riots and noises, and they all stood up on tiptoe and looked around. Even the chefs who were cooking and the business travelers who were eating shells all threw down their spatulas and shells to stand up and look at the crowds.

"Scatter, all spread out!"

The shouting sounds came from far away, and the crowded crowd quickly separated the two sides. A team of musket players, led by Chen Xia, stepped forward with rifles, and quickly separated the onlookers, protecting Chen Xu and others to the largest flagship with great vigilance.

"Brother~"

"Marty~"

Soon Han Xin brought a group of managers and several captains to greet him. After a brief greeting, Chen Xu came to the river beach with cheers and shouts between the people. A group of businessmen eating shells were excited and whipped their hands inexplicably, and bowed to greet him two or three meters away through the guards and musket team members.

"Mr. Marquis, these are merchants who have been doing business and transporting goods in Wuzhong all year round. After hearing this, they stopped to visit Marquis. By the way... By the way, we made some sauces of sea shells we caught by the beach the day before yesterday. As a result, they also wanted to eat them. I sold them for ten yuan a pot to make some money..." A manager rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile.

"It's good to make. These sea shells are simple to make and taste good. The most important thing is that they are cheap. As long as you teach the cooking methods, the river transportation here is well developed and very close to the beach. Maybe a seafood food stall will appear here in the future. People from all over the country will be able to eat it when they come!" Chen Xu nodded and said with a smile.

"Huh!" The manager and a group of chefs breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's getting late, hurry up and pack up and get on the boat and get ready to set off!"

Chen Xu looked at the sky. It was about three hours before dark. It was smooth sailing now. Three hours were enough to reach the outer sea. After a night of rest, you can cross the Zhoushan Islands tomorrow. It is not a big problem to arrive in Dongye County, Fujian-zhong County Prefecture in three days.

"Beep~~" As Chen Xu's order was issued, a sharp sirens kept blowing in the crowd. When the sirens were heard, a red Venus flag was rising on the flagship, and more than a meter tall swelled up in the wind.

"Woooo~~" Just as the flag was raised, the sound of horns sounded one after another from the six large ships. After hearing the sound of horns, the boatmen and crew members who got off the ship immediately became busy. While packing up the pots and pans, they also drove down some people who were allowed to climb onto the big ship to play.

"The last few sauces are not worth the money. If you haven't eaten them, come over and get them yourself..."

In front of a few sips of earthen stove, the chef helper who packed the kitchen utensils began to shout loudly. Under the temptation of free delivery, the entire beach suddenly became fried. Hundreds of people rushed towards the big pot. For a moment, hand claws of various sizes flew around, and various shouts and cheers were mixed together. In a short while, a few pots of sauce and seashells were snatched up. The people behind did not catch it, and they reached out to grab a handful of sauce in the pot and added satisfaction and deliciousness.

"I have important things to leave soon. If you meet in the mountains and rivers, you will have a date later. If you go to Xianyang, you can go to my husband's mansion to talk and say goodbye!" Chen Xu said goodbye to a group of old and young business trips gathered around him.

"We respectfully send you off to the Marquis, thank you for leaving a peerless delicacy for us!" A group of people bowed, and some people thanked him loudly.

"Haha, but I don't know if the sauce of Gusu is delicious or the crispy spring cocoons of Guangling is delicious?" Chen Xu said loudly with a smile.

"Of course, it's my big Su Su's sauce and scallops delicious!" Someone shouted in the crowd.

"I heard that the Marquis also passed down peerless delicacies such as cold kelp shreds, dried fried hairtail, braised pomfret, steamed grouper, garlic vermicelli scallops, abalone ice sashimi, iron plate squid, etc. It's a pity that time is in a hurry, and I can't get what I hope. I just hope that the Marquis can pass on the cooking method and give me the opportunity to taste one or two!" A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes said with regret.

"This marquis has been passed down. If you are interested in studying at Wuhu Garden in Wuzhong, you will be taught on the spot by the chef from this marquis's mansion, so let's go away!"

"The Marquis's benevolence and righteousness..."

"Thank you, Master, take care of yourself all the way!"

Amid the bustling sound of respectful farewells, Chen Xu, under the protection of a group of guards, climbed the flagship along the steep gangway, and looked down at the river bank from a high place. Tens of thousands of people finally saw Chen Xu, and they all cheered on the river beach.

"Woooo~~" Soon the six large ships heard the sound of horns preparing to stop.

"Marty, the fleet is ready and can set off!" The flagship captain came over and asked for his order.

"Out~" Chen Xu waved his hand.

"Rise the sail, raise the anchor, set sail~~"

As the captain returned to the helm room and issued an order, a blue flag quickly rose to the top of the main mast. Amid the sound of the boatman's horns, dozens of sails on one side of the six sea boats slowly rose slowly with the rotation of the winch. The river wind swayed from the big ship and began to shake. As the anchor came out of the water, the six sea boats left the riverside dock with the sound of long horns and quickly drove into the Huangpu River.

"Take a care~~"

"Greatly send the Qinghe Marquis~"

People watching on both sides of the river bank chased the big boats downstream, and many fishing boats and merchant ships followed the oars and rowed behind the big boats, but the sails were cast like the wind, and they were already a hundred feet away in an instant.

The river was vast and sparkling. On the main sails of the six giant boats that were gone far away, the huge black Qin characters rolled in the wind, and the black dragon flags at the top were roaring in the river wind, whistling along the river like wind and thunder, and a few rough singing sounds came.

"A laughter in the sea, the tide on both sides of the strait..."

The big ship was getting farther and farther away, and soon there were only a few white sails to see the light and shadows. The small boats behind could only slow down in vain. After a moment, the lively and joyful river beach slowly returned to its former tranquility.

But the slightly floating smoke and fragrance of cooking stoves, the remaining few tiny stoves and discarded shells all over the ground seemed to indicate that there was a brief and extraordinary excitement here.

In the days not long after, several rows of bamboo and wood-built straw sheds appeared around the river beach. Some people began to fry and sell some flavored foods such as sauces, sea shells, shrimps, crabs, cold kelp, etc. to merchants and tourists. This also attracted many local fishermen and civilians to sell their own harvests. As a result, some popularity and excitement that had never been seen before in the past were slowly gathered on the Huangpu Bund, forming an original large food stall dock.

Shortly after Chen Xu left, several seafood delicious methods also flowed out of Wuhu Garden, and the story about the Hou of Qinghe and Wuzhong and his party was quickly compiled into the first manuscript by reporters. They were quickly sent to Xianyang with the cooking methods of several delicious dishes, and published in the latest issue of the Daqin Metropolis Daily.

At this point, the name of seafood in Wuzhong began to spread throughout the world.

And those in the world who care about the whereabouts of Qinghe Hou have been breathing a long breath of turbid air.

In the Zichen Hall of Xianyang Palace, Qin Dada saw the newspaper in his hand, and felt a sign of drooling. He was a little hungry. He waved his sleeves and called the eunuch and said, "I ordered the imperial kitchen to follow the recipe in the newspaper, and I would go with me every time. I am hungry!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch took the newspaper in skepticism and left. When he went out, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He had breakfast just now for less than half an hour.

After seeing the newspaper and the orders of the First Emperor, a group of imperial chefs and officials in the imperial kitchen almost cried. The northwest asked us to go where to find seashells and fresh fish. Not to mention fresh, there were no old ones. So in front of Qin, the table was a table of dried abalone and sea cucumber meals of various flavors, including sauce, scallions, steamed, garlic, and teppanyaki...

Looking at these familiar so-called seafood, Qin Dada instantly lost his appetite. After taking a few bites, he threw down his chopsticks and returned to Zichen Palace with a loss.
