After nearly three years of separation, I naturally have endless talks.

Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiman, Meng Wan and others sat on Chen Xu's spacious special carriage for the Grand Tutor. Now they are mothers, and the topics they discuss are naturally inseparable from their children. Chen Xu and Yu Wuya communicated with each other in the two or three years of sailing on the sea and all their experiences about Yingzhou.

Half an hour later, he returned to Qinghe Villa. Faced with the sudden transport of 20,000 kilograms of silver and about 10,000 kilograms of sulfur, the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion was suddenly busy. The housekeeper and hundreds of servants were busy back and forth, packing the warehouse stables and arranges to carry goods and horses, and a group of servants were also busy preparing clean clothes, hot water, dinner, etc. for the young man in the musket team and the coachman who drove the carriage, etc.

The servants in the mansion were busy and had little to do with the master. All this was arranged in order on weekdays. As soon as Yu Wuya entered the gate of the other yard, he couldn't wait to urge him to start the meal soon. He left a group of people and went straight to the kitchen to find food. Fortunately, the chefs in the mansion had already prepared the food at this time every day. When Chen Xu washed his face, hands and arranged to serve the food, Yu Wuya was already sitting in the restaurant and feasting alone.

"Wow, delicious...delicious, it's the most beautiful thing in the world..."

Yu Wuya was like a hungry ghost who had been hungry for countless years without using chopsticks. He grabbed a duck leg and a fragrant braised lamb chop with his hands and splashed the juice of eating left and right. His eating was like a wind swaying the wind.

When Shui Qingrou accompanied Xia Zijin to wash and come to the restaurant, most of the dishes in front of Yu Wuya were empty.

"Sister Zijin, don't be polite, eat quickly!" Shui Qingrou knew that the two of them had not eaten much in the past two or three years, so she quickly called Xia Zijin to eat.

Xia Zijin gently and helplessly pinched Yu Wuya's back before sitting down.

"Um, Zijin, don't be polite to your junior sister, eat quickly..." Yu Wuya didn't look up at all, and made a whimper while eating.

Xia Zijin was originally a Taoist child who practiced immortals and asked about Taoism, and he didn't care much about ordinary etiquette. After sitting down, he picked up the chopsticks like a dragonfly, and soon he was tempted by the delicious food all over the table and lost his originally not much reserve. He focused on eating and food as if no one was around.

Chen Xu, Shui Qingrou and others chewed slowly like usual, and observed their crazy eating behavior while eating. Their faces were laughing and they couldn't help but smile happily.

"Dad, eat slowly, be careful to choke!" Yu Ji sat obediently next to Yu Wuya and gently patted her father's back.

"Woo... My daughter is good, my father hasn't had a good meal for three years... Those savages in Yingzhou like to eat raw fish and meat. I feel disgusted when I see it. I am thinking about the delicious food made by my beloved every day. I dream of eating crispy roast duck..."

Yu Wuya was hesitating while stuffing all kinds of food into his mouth. After eating for nearly twenty minutes in one breath, he finally felt a little spiritual satisfaction. He burped and sat down, picked up the wine glass and raised his head, and poured a large glass of red wine.

"Huh~~Ho~Ho..."

Yu Wuya breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned on the back of the chair. His eyes fell on Xia Zijin who was still eating and eating vegetables next to him. He shook his head with emotion and said, "My benefactor, don't make jokes, then the natives of Yingzhou will not make food. They either eat raw or roast and cook. They don't need any seasonings except salt, and they can't eat them at all. They also like to eat raw fish!"

"I know, it's cut into thin slices, right?" Chen Xu said with a smile after filling Yu Wuya with a glass of wine.

"I was wrong, I just ate it raw!" Xia Zijin, who had already eaten a little bit full, continued.

"Zi Jin is right, my benefactor guessed wrongly, there are not even those rusty knives. How to slice them is just raw, eating raw food and drinking blood, you can even vomit... vomit..." Yu Wuya rubbed his belly and almost vomited.

Chen Xu shook his head and said, "No wonder, raw fish is not unpalatable. We have fish sashimi in the Central Plains, but there are very few people eating it now. The natives of Yingzhou were the descendants of the ancient Yiyue who escaped from the East China Sea. They have the tradition of eating raw sashimi. However, it is best not to eat fish in rivers and lakes. The sashimi tastes very delicious. It is no less than fried, fried, fried, and I will know if I go to the East China Sea next time I go to the East China Sea..."

"My benefactor, don't talk about the seafood. Wuya's belly rolled in his stomach as he heard it. The natives of Yingzhou also like to catch some seaweed from the sea and eat it with raw meat. The taste was even more disgusting..." Yu Wuya's face was instantly distorted like bitter gourd, and he quickly drank a glass of red wine to suppress his shock.

"Seaweed...well, maybe seaweed or kelp, they are all good things. You say that raw fish is not delicious, because there is no good method and sauce. Well, let's not talk about these. Next time, I will make cooked seafood for you. A dish of garlic vermicelli scallops will let you know that seafood is truly delicious, and other beef, mutton and fish are just ordinary foods to satisfy your hunger!" Chen Xu said with a smile while drinking.

"I don't want to think about it. Now I feel disgusted with seafood. I want to eat some of my Central Plains' grains, beef, sheep, chicken and duck. By the way, there is dog meat. My benefactor tomorrow, let the servants get a big fat dog back and stew hot pot... And the flower cakes, glutinous rice cakes, egg cakes, cakes, toast bread you mentioned just now... There are also stinky tofu, spicy snails, braised beef noodles, bean dregs cakes, spring rolls, green onions and fried green flowers... Hiss, I can't say anymore... Wuya is so greedy that he can't sit steadily. By the way, benefactor, what are these dishes? I just want to eat them and watch them..." Yu Wuya picked up an onion with chopsticks and asked curiously.

"Dad, this is called onion. It is a turquoise grown by Brother Xiaoxu. In addition to onions, there are cucumbers, eggplant, watermelon, and cantaloupe. By the way, there is also the most unpalatable coriander. Brother Xiaoxu named a name called coriander, but it is not fragrant at all, but Doctor Meng loves it very much..."

Yu Ji sat next to her and began to introduce the new vegetables that had been released in the past two years.

Yu Wuya threw the onion into his mouth and savored it carefully and nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, this is indeed a vegetable that has never been eaten before. It tastes crispy, sweet and refreshing, with a strange smell. It is indeed not the style of my Zhongyuan vegetable, it is delicious, delicious..."

In the following time, the family could finally get together to eat, drink and chat. The women still talked about the children. The main reason was Xia Zijin about the customs, people and experiences of Yingzhou and the process of pregnancy and childbirth. Yu Wuya and Chen Xu also talked about the development of silver mines and sulfur in Yingzhou, as well as the distribution of indigenous people on Yingzhou islands, etc., and of course, they also found out the information of Gongsun Beiyan, Gai Nie, Xiang Jing and some explorers who were keen in the eyes of building sea boats to make money in Yingzhou.

"Mr. I originally planned to go back to Zhongyuan to tell you the news after finding the silver mine last year. However, Zijin happened to be pregnant at that time. I was afraid that the fetus would be damaged by the bumps on the sea, so I dragged it until the beginning of spring this year. During this period, I was still afraid that my benefactor was worried. I happened to meet a sea ship transported by Maofeng to prepare to return, so I asked several alchemists to return in advance on their sea ship and send the letter back..." Yu Wuya finally explained.

"Maofeng shipping... Could it be that kind-hearted merchant Qimao's merchant ship?" Chen Xu was surprised.

"Yes, it's him. When Zijin and I went to Langya to prepare for the materials for going to sea, Qi Mao and a few merchants also went to Langya, and brought a lot of money to order five three-masted sea ships in the shipyard. Because they were not familiar with the sea, Cao Shen also rented them a sea ship to train near Langya and sent someone to guide navigation experience. Later, shortly after we found Gongsun Beiyan in Yingzhou, Qi Mao's merchant ship also arrived in Yingzhou..."

When they came back just now, most of what Yu Wuya said was what they had experienced. Now that they had enough food and drink, Yu Wuya also had enough strength and interest to explain clearly and in detail after going to Yingzhou.

"You said Qi Mao and the others actually found a gold mine?" Chen Xu was surprised after hearing this.

"Yes, Qi Mao and we all landed on the Yingzhou coast nearest to North Korea. Because there are too many islands, almost countless large and small, we took more than a month to find a gathering place for a group of local natives and killed their leaders. Then we slowly explored the situation on Yingzhou Island..."

"Gai Nie and Xiang Ji were anxious to find Gongsun Beiyan and Xiang Jing, so we kept chasing everywhere for the gathering places of Yingzhou natives. After we found Gongsun Beiyan and Xiang Jing, we returned to the docking place of the sea boat, and we met Qi Mao and others who were catching up with him..."

"Gongsun Beiyan founded the State of Wei with the help of Han Zheng, claiming to be the Princess of Wei, and founded the country and established the yamen to appoint the prime minister and general and other civil and military officials, gathered tens of thousands of natives from dozens of nearby tribes and was very powerful. We used her power to search the island for the silver and sulfur mentioned by Engong. Sure enough, we still found a lot of them, and also found a large silver mine. Gongsun Beiyan also sent Yingzhou natives to help mine, and the motus and alchemists helped smel. So after the rest of the year, we got 20,000 kilograms of silver, and at the same time, we dug out tens of thousands of kilograms of sulfur from under several volcanoes..."

"Last year and autumn, we arranged for people to transport all silver and sulfur to the sea boats, and we met several Central Plains merchant ships who came to Yingzhou. After talking, we realized that it was Qi Mao and the others who discovered a large gold mine not far from our docking. However, it was difficult to mine without tools. So they went back to the Central Plains to build tools to buy coal stones and recruit people. These merchant ships were invited to develop gold mines. We were curious and went to the gold mine to take a look. There was indeed a very obvious vein. The exposed part could see the golden ore..."

Chen Xu:...

This is a bad luck. He knew that there were gold and silver mines in Japan and the rich production of sulfur. However, he was not familiar with the local people as guides. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, he didn't expect Qi Mao and others to find it so quickly.

"By the way, my benefactor, Qi Mao also gave you five hundred taels of gold. This time we brought them all back, right in the carriage!" Yu Wuya reminded.

"He also gave me gold?" Chen Xu was even more surprised.

"That's natural. If they had no guidance from the benefactor to find Yingzhou, how could they be so lucky? However, if the gold mine was to be developed, there would be no thousands or even tens of thousands of people. What they lacked the most now is manpower. With manpower, they would definitely lack food. And they would have to transport steel, coal and stone to make tools and smelting back and forth. Now the output of only three or four thousand taels a year is far less than that of us finding silver mines to make a fortune..."

After hearing this, Chen Xu nodded slightly. The value of 3,400 taels of gold a year is only more than one million yuan. Compared with building a large ship and recruiting personnel to make a fortune, it is indeed not considered making a fortune. However, after all, it is a gold mine. The amount of mining in the future is large, so the source of wealth will naturally come. This is an extremely long-term business of making money. In ten or twenty years, it will inevitably get wealth that is as rich as a country.
