664 Seaweed
However, they are likely to be trapped on... an overseas desert island, deserted, where is there salt?
Isn't this a force to force people?
Therefore, the two women were silent, thought hard, and did not say a word.
Zhu Xiuyuan didn't say anything, and covered his heart with his hands, as if he was still disgusted by the barbecue last night.
In this cave, it became quiet for a moment.
"Hey, if I had known that I would have been wandering in a deserted island, I would have brought a can of salt on my body... If not, it would be nice to bring some vinegar cloth or something!"
Dong Shuzhen thought for a long time and had no idea, so she complained there, tilted her head and closed her eyes, and daydreamed.
Zhu Xiuyuan, who was still covering his heart, was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Dong Shuzhen, with a bright light flashing in his eyes.
Vinegar cloth, or "kumbu", is a thing that exists in the long river of history, which has been widely used to replace salt.
However, there are many different opinions about what Kumbu is in later generations.
Some people say it is a kind of cloth, soaked in vinegar, so it has a salty smell.
Some people also say that it is actually a kind of kelp. Kelp is produced from the sea and has its own salty flavor.
Or both have existed, including fabric and kelp.
Zhu Xiuyuan has been traveling here for a long time. During this period, he has never paid attention to the issue of salt, nor has he deliberately learned what the so-called vinegar cloth or kettle cloth is.
However, this is not the point.
If the vinegar cloth is just a piece of cloth, he can't get it now and it's useless.
If vinegar cloth is kelp, it would be useless, because according to Shizhai, kelp was considered an "imported commodity" in ancient times, and a specialty only found on the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
Therefore, the idea of digging kelp in the sea won't work.
The point is that Zhu Xiuyuan is associated with another seafood - seaweed.
The thing about seaweed has a long history, and there are records of seaweed picking in books in the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, he had just taken a raft to explore the sea, and he vaguely remembered that some rocks seemed to have something attached to them, dark brown, and that should be seaweed!
"Has the Marquis thought of something?" Kou Wanwan noticed the change in Zhu Xiuyuan's expression.
"What?" Dong Shuzhen quickly opened her eyes and returned to reality from her fantasy.
She glared at Kou Wanwan in a faint way, dissatisfied with her discovering her husband's abnormality first.
"Seaweed!" Zhu Xiuyuan said concisely and did not notice the two girls' private actions.
Zhu Xiuyuan only knew that seaweed was very fresh, and it was hard to say whether it could replace salt, but I thought it would be better than not.
At least they are also a seafood product, so they still have to give face.
"Seaweed!?"
The two women exclaimed.
After exclaiming, I suddenly realized.
Due to backward productivity and poor transportation conditions, seaweed can usually be tasted only by noble families.
Dong Shuzhen and Kou Wanwan are not ordinary people. They naturally taste the deliciousness of seaweed. They also know that this is a seafood product, which has a certain salty flavor.
"But, as far as I know, seaweed is extremely rare. Is there seaweed nearby...?" Kou Wanwan asked.
"Yes, when I went out to sea just now, I seemed to have seen it from afar." Zhu Xiuyuan smiled.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go pick it quickly. Maybe you will be eaten up by the fish later!"
Dong Shuzhen was anxious, put down the two ingredients of hare and pheasant, got up and pulled Zhu Xiuyuan's hand, and ignored it, she wanted to rush out of the cave.
"Don't be anxious or not..." Zhu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly. He, a young lady, couldn't listen to anything, otherwise he would be more anxious than anyone else, which would be helpless.
"Marty, madam, I...I want to go too!"
Kou Wanwan lay on the stone bed, looking at them with eyes wide open.
After careful calculation, she has missed many "important and rare entertainment activities" that can cultivate feelings.
This morning, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen went out to sea to explore again, went to the forest to hunt, and then slaughtered prey together... She missed all these activities.
She felt like she had lost a large area of sky.
"no!"
Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen spoke in unison and firmly opposed it.
"Your face is still very pale and you need more rest. It's not too late to go to the ground when you recover from your illness!"
Seeing that Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen were both firmly opposed, Kou Wanwan had no choice but to lie down and watch them leave the cave with a gaze.
Soon, Kou Wanwan was the only one left in the cave.
She lay down without moving, as if she was asleep, but her eyes were still open, staring at the "dome" of the cave without any hesitation, in a daze.
Suddenly, Kou Wanwan sat up, groped on her body for a while, and took out a small white ceramic bottle, about the size of a thumb.
Without hesitation, she pulled out the plug, poured out a white pill, and swallowed it directly.
"I originally thought that if I remained injured, I would get more care from the Marquis. But now it seems that it is backfiring..."
Kou Wanwan muttered, then smiled intently: "Don't worry, after lunch, I will be able to recover as usual!"
After laughing and muttering, Kou Wanwan lay down again to rest...
Let’s talk about Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen. They left the cave without stopping and went straight to the location where they had just taken a raft to go out to sea.
There was a reef and rocks there. Zhu Xiuyuan had seen it from afar. There was a layer of dark brown thing attached to the rock, and it should be seaweed.
Zhu Xiu walked ahead with a little quick pace.
Dong Shuzhen followed behind, holding the copper basin she picked in both hands. It now comes in handy, fresh seaweed used for dressing up and picking.
Dong Shuzhen was very excited and walked along the way, chatting with Zhu Xiuyuan all the way, laughing constantly along the way.
Until they came close to the rock, Dong Shuzhen suddenly stopped talking and did not dare to face the direction of the sea. She turned her back to her body, her whole body was tense and her shoulders shrank, and she looked very strange.
"Madam, are you?" Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised.
"Husband, that ship... is still there..." Dong Shuzhen's voice was trembling, obviously scared.
Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Dong Shuzhen was still afraid of the corpse on the wreckage of the big ship...
Zhu Xiuyuan first looked at the wreckage of the big ship stranded in the shallow sea, and then looked at Dong Shuzhen with her back facing away from the sea. He was amused and felt that Dong Shuzhen was even more real.
Dong Shuzhen is very skilled and playful. She always looks fearless in the past.
However, she was afraid of ghosts and gods, and even extremely afraid...
"You don't have to be afraid. With me here, there is nothing that can hurt you."
Zhu Xiuyuan laughed in his heart. When he looked at her like this, he suddenly felt that she was so pitiful that she was so scared by those nothingness.
"Yeah!" Dong Shuzhen focused heavily, and couldn't help but move, leaning closer to Zhu Xiuyuan, and holding one of his arms tightly.
"Then it, go pick seaweed for your husband. If you wait here, I will be ready soon. After the picking, we will go back quickly." Zhu Xiuyuan suggested.
"No." Dong Shuzhen took another step closer and grabbed Zhu Xiuyuan's hand tightly, "I'll go picking with my husband, just help me..."
"Okay!"
Zhu Xiuyuan agreed, and then he walked forward, pulling Dong Shuzhen with his back to the sea, and followed him step by step towards the rocks on the coast.
Chapter completed!
