On the shore, several sailors jumped into the water to pull the fully loaded boat onto the beach, and waited on the shore for more than an hour, Yuan Fang knew how cold it was, patted the shoulders of several sailors who were half wet, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, wait a minute, go back and change into dry clothes to warm up, don't catch a cold." ”

The sailors smiled innocently, and one of them asked, "Lord Yuan, how do you get these things?" Is it steamed, boiled, or miso grilled? ”

Yuan Fang looked at the cabin, there was a mess of everything in it, all kinds of shellfish, and a lot of small fish, but what caught Yuan Fang's eyes was that there were a few of them that were the colorful shellfish described by the red clothes.

Yuan Fang turned his head and asked Yu Jingqiu: "Did the girl in red say no, should the shells be raw or cooked?" ”

Yu Jingqiu shook her head: "I didn't say it." ”

Yuan Fang hesitated for a moment, took a small net bag, and seemingly casually pocketed a bag of shells and said: "You carry it back first and sort it out, you don't need to clean it up, I will take it away directly in a while, by the way, I have worked hard for you, wait a minute, I will let the kitchen make rice porridge for you to warm up." ”

The sailors were overjoyed when they heard this, and rice was a luxury for them. Walking back with the net, Yuan Fangle was so happy that his mouth was almost to the root of his ears, just now he fished casually, and found a lot of shells similar to colorful shells, if it is confirmed that this is the required colorful shells, then the problem of lighting is just around the corner.

Back in the room of the base, Yu Jingqiu went to find the red clothes to come over, Yuan Fang poured a bag of shells into the basin and began to rummage through them, and in the end, he actually found more than twenty, and the size was very uniform, all of them were mature bodies, Yuan Fang was even happier, which showed that if these were colorful shells, then they had adapted to the environment here and completely settled down and multiplied here.

Soon, Hongyi followed Yu Jingqiu, Ouyang Xianxue also followed, the two little girls chatted until dawn last night, and they only slept for less than two hours, and they are still a little confused.

Waiting for Hongyi to sit down, Yuan Fang handed the basin containing colorful shells to Hongyi: "You help see if these are colorful shellfish." ”

Hongyi picked up one and looked at it carefully, took out a dagger from his waist and pried one open, and in the expectation of everyone, he nodded for a while and said, "Well, that's right, it's a colorful shell." ”

Yuan Fang was overjoyed: "Great, now we can do a big job, and we don't need to ask for it anymore." ”

Yu Jingqiu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Brother-in-law, if these are not colorful shellfish, you shouldn't give up, right?" ”

Yuan Fang smiled: "Of course, I really can't find it, then I can only wronged those widows." ”

The red clothes are unknown: "Grievances? What is wronged? ”

Ouyang Xianxue knew Yuan Fang's style of doing things very well, and explained: "If we don't have colorful shells here, my brother-in-law will definitely lead someone to the Liusang Empire and snatch all their colorful shells." ”

Hongyi frowned and said, "Why do you want to rob it?" Wouldn't it be better to spend some money on it? ”

Ouyang Xianxue shook her head: "If it were someone else, we would definitely buy it, but forget about the Japanese people, they are all bastards, red-clothed, you have been living on Changhuan Island You don't know, how many unconscionable things they have done in Nanzhou, the elderly, women, and even children do not let go, burning, killing and looting are all evil, they do not deserve sympathy." ”

Hongyi hadn't seen what Ouyang Xianxue said, and hesitated to retort: "But, but I've seen a few Japanese people, and there are many good people among them, that time in the harbor of Liusang, there was a child in our team who fell into the water, and everyone didn't find out, it was an uncle from Liusang who jumped into the sea to save him." ”

Ouyang Xianxue wanted to say something, Yuan Fang waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, there is no need to fight about this matter, in fact, there are all the same there, there are good people and bad people, and we Dongsheng are the same, Xianxue, you should have heard of it, some of the bandits here do things that are not much better than the Japanese people, and even more excessive, as well as those corrupt officials who kill people without seeing blood, Liusang, there are also good people like us, but there are fewer good people on their side, and war is a matter between countries and armies, and it can't be generalized, okay." ,Don't talk about these.,I don't know much about these.,Let's talk about colorful shells.。 ”

Then, Yuan Fang looked at the red clothes: "By the way, you haven't told me how much silver is needed for a material." ”

Yuan Fang helped her say a fair word just now, and Hongyi's impression of Yuan Fang was a little better, his tone was no longer so blunt, and he replied: "According to the price at sea, it will cost about three taels of silver, and the price on the road is about the same, if you go directly to the production area to buy it, it will be cheaper." ”

Yuan Fang calculated, if the refining is successful, a material can probably refine about thirty pieces of that kind of luminous stone, that is to say, the material cost of a luminous stone is about a hundred yuan, plus labor, it is not too much, and a luminous stone can be used for a month, so calculated, it is cheaper than oil lamps and candles, of course, this conclusion is based on having enough colorful shells. Sure that these are the colorful shells, the next thing is simple, Yuan Fang found Chen Wu, and issued an order in an unquestionable tone to survey the number of colorful shells in the nearby sea area, and protect them, it is strictly forbidden to fish privately, and the violators will be dealt with by military law.

Chen Wu is a shrewd person, he thought that Yuan Fang was a delicious bureaucrat before, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, even if Yuan Fang liked to eat these seafoods, he didn't have to run over in person in the middle of the night, and besides, there was also everything on the Long Ring Island, so he couldn't come all the way here.

Now, hearing what Yuan Fang said, Chen Wu finally figured out the reason, it turned out that this Lord Yuan was not what he thought, he came for this kind of colorful shellfish, and it seems that this kind of colorful shellfish seems to be very important.

Chen Wu did not dare to slack off, and immediately received the order and issued an order to seal the sea, prohibiting anyone from fishing in the shallows. Chen Wu's order was very vague, and did not mention the matter of the colorful shellfish, Yuan Fang was extremely satisfied with this, praised it, and after repeatedly telling Chen Wu to keep it secret, he took a large amount of seafood to board the airship and returned to Changhuan Island, and also took a few glasssmiths and blacksmiths, carpenters and tools and materials with him, and planned to go back and start studying the chandelier.

On the way back, Hongyi was very excited, when he came last night, it was dark all around, and he couldn't see anything, but now it was daytime, and he could see the scenery outside clearly.

Hongyi jumped up and down in the cabin like a monkey, pointing at this and shouting where this is, and then pointing to where it is, and then pointing to where it is, in Yuan Fang's eyes, this is the sea, and it is all water.

Seizing an opportunity, Yuan Fang grabbed the red clothes and pulled her and asked, "Red clothes, do the colorful shells be raw or cooked?" ”
