Chapter 524 Heading to Haiji Island(2/2)
Even though he was not a farmer, he could feel from the touch and smell that the land under his feet was not suitable for growing crops.
In other words, the agriculture of Kaiji Island is inherently disabled.
As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountains, you can eat the mountains, and if you rely on the sea, you can eat the sea. If it were in peaceful times, relying on the offshore fishery, Haiji Island would be able to trade a considerable amount of food, and it would be considered as a worry-free food and drink.
However, with the spread of the war and the lockdown, the food crisis on Haiji Island has become more and more obvious, and now it has reached the point where it relies entirely on sales from external caravans.
Relying on Beidou abroad and Qinglai domestically, the existence of these two helpers enables Haiji Island to maintain a food balance.
But everyone knows that this kind of life will never last forever. If there is any change, it will be disastrous for the people of Haiji Island.
After all, as long as people don’t eat for a few days, they will easily get sick from hunger.
It is impossible to eat fish every day without food, then the soldiers fighting will lose their strength.
The fact was just as Bai Qiyun had guessed. When passing by the village built on the cliff on Haiji Island, he saw that the best crop in the field was white radish, and it was almost half smaller than the one in Qingquan Town.
Sometimes we can only say that God will not provide us with food, and there is nothing we can do about it.
The surrounding villagers cast curious glances at the group of people, but although they did not know Bai Qiyun and Ying, they knew the shrine maiden.
When they met Luzi's eyes, people showed embarrassed smiles and quickly turned away.
On Kaiji Island, the shrine maidens represent power, which is much greater than the power of the three priests on Narukami Island.
After all, there are no checks and balances between organizations and shrines here. Even the military power of the resistance army is controlled by the goddess and shrine maiden. It can be said that power is concentrated to the extreme.
Not long after, several people passed through the village and came to a high platform that looked like a shell.
"Please wait a moment, both of you. I'm going to inform Mr. Coral Palace right now."
After saying that, Luzi left the two of them here and walked towards the glorious palace in the distance.
After knowing that her back disappeared from the sight of the group of people, Paimon let out a long breath.
"Ugh...I just wanted to ask why there are such big shells on this island."
Looking at the shell at his feet, which was almost as wide as a house, Paimon shook his head fiercely.
"Who knows, maybe it's some kind of monster, or an alchemical product created through elemental power."
Bai Qiyun didn't care much about this spectacle.
People with status always like to build weird things, such as floating pavilions in the sky.
"It can't be a big wild shell in the sea."
"Impossible, put aside your meaningless fantasies."
Bai Qiyun saw through Paimon's thoughts behind the question at a glance.
It is nothing more than such a big shellfish, and the shellfish meat must be very large. It must be very enjoyable to hold it and eat it.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiyun blinked unconsciously.
He seems to be able to understand Paimon's thoughts, but he is no better than the little guy.
"It should be manufactured in batches. You can see that the shells around here are almost the same size, and there is no difference in shape."
After observing for a long time, Ying touched the shells at his feet and looked at the almost identical shell platforms around him, feeling mostly surprised.
These things are quite common in her hometown, where people often process the floors into strange shapes. She didn't expect that people on Haiji Island would also do this.
"It's probably done deliberately for the sake of tourism."
Putting his hands behind his head, Bai Qiyun came up with a guess that was most likely close to the truth.
Before the national lockdown, Haiji Island's tourism industry was extremely developed, and in order to cater to the development of tourism, it is not unacceptable for Haiji Island officials to come up with some weird things.
And judging from the current situation of Haiji Island, it is obvious that their finances cannot support meaningless face-saving projects.
The young man's eyes swept across his body, and when he passed one of the places, he paused for a moment.
"But this Haiji Island is indeed a bit too bold."
I saw that under the high platform under everyone's feet, large pearls were placed on small shells by the water without any precautions.
Oh, this small one is compared to the giant shells under them. If compared with the ones fished out of the water in Liyue Harbor, it is obviously quite big. At least it must be four or five times larger.
.
Gee, it seems that Paimon’s seafood experience this time is a blessing.
While everyone was looking at the environment of Kaiji Island, the miko who was sitting in the shrine put down the book of war in her hand, looked towards the horizon not far away with her beautiful eyes, and a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
