Chapter 1314: Aunt Gongsun

He couldn't get through the slender tunnels that the worms had carved out like a ghost. But it is possible to dive down into the ice ocean beyond the Far North, and then slowly approach from the side. In that case, you don't have to drill so hard.

Diving from the Ice Ocean is of course risky, first of all, to be able to resist the endless cold, and also to guard against the ferocious Arctic Sea Beasts.

"Childe, let's go back in a few days. ”

Xiaoya heard that Du Feng was about to dive into the ice ocean, and offered to let him go later. Because it will be fifteen in a few days, and the water temperature of the ice ocean will rise a few degrees by a few degrees, and people will not be frozen into popsicles immediately if they fall into it. The fifteenth day of each month is the most precious fishing season for fishermen.

At that time, even those refugees will have people who will go into the ice to catch and freeze the seafood they catch as food. Otherwise, they won't be able to survive for a month just by eating bugs.

Oh, I see. Du Feng finally understood, no wonder there were so many refugees but they didn't die of hunger. If you only rely on those ice eaters, it is impossible to hold on. Because today is the twelfth, and there are three days to be the fifteenth, which means that the refugees have eaten up all the things they caught last month. So these days, their days are particularly hard.

Du Feng continued to inquire again, and on the fifteenth day, in addition to the refugees going to the sea in large numbers, the normal residents living on the extreme north continent will also go to sea one after another, and the ice ocean will be very lively at that time. Normally, ships of ordinary materials cannot sail in the ice ocean. Ships made of special materials are not affordable for ordinary people.

Only on the fifteenth day can everyone put their fishing boats into the sea and spread their nets to catch as much as they want. Of course, in the process of fishing, there will also be infestations of sea beasts, and it is inevitable that a few people will die.

In order to encourage the residents of the Far North Continent to fish in large quantities on the 15th day, the officers and men will also be responsible for cooperating on the shore. If a large monster appears, they will shoot it with a speargun. Instead of round ammunition, spearguns fired iron forks with barbs. Not only can you shoot large sea beasts, but you can also drag their carcasses ashore. The sea beast slices were frozen, which could be eaten by the officers and soldiers for a long time.

The fishermen catch hundreds or thousands of small fish, which is not as enjoyable as the officers and soldiers killing a large sea beast. Du Feng can imagine that on the fifteenth day, the land of the Great North must be very lively. In that case, he is not in a hurry to enter the water today.

Anyway, there are still two and a half days to go, and Du Feng will first go around the territory of the Extreme North Continent. He found that the Far North Continent was still a very bitter place, and it should be said that it was boring enough. There is no comparison with those prosperous cities on the four continents.

Basically, there are no restaurants or shops, but occasionally there is an extremely simple Xiaoice house, which has a few skins of sea beasts. For the inhabitants of the Far North Continent, it is already good to be able to wear clothes. If you can wear a piece of armor made of sea animal skin, it will be a big family.

Dufeng walked around for a while and felt bored, and was about to go back to sleep. Suddenly, I saw a steaming shop in front of me, and a lot of people had gathered in front of the door. What's more, this shop is not an igloo made of ice, but a large tent made of thick animal skins.

Interestingly, the residents of the Far North Continent all use ice to build their houses, and even Xiaoya is no exception. Someone came up with the ingenuity of setting up a tent instead of building a house with ice. And there is constant water vapor coming out of the tent, which seems to be quite lively.

"Come on, come on, don't take more than one bowl per person. ”

Du Feng approached one, there was a very kind-looking lady guarding a cauldron, in which a large number of fish heads and fish bones were boiling, it turned out that she was boiling fish soup. But what's interesting is that this aunt's fish soup is not charged. All you need is the people who come to drink the soup and each person contributes a fish bone.

"Aunt Gongsun, can you give my child another bowl?"

A middle-aged uncle wrapped himself tightly in thick clothes. With a little boy, he also wrapped it like zongzi. They brought two fish bones, so they each drank a bowl of fish soup. But children are greedy, and they want to have a bowl after drinking a bowl.

"Okay, the child needs to replenish his body, so let him drink another bowl. ”

Du Feng had already seen that Aunt Gongsun opened this fish soup shop not to make money but to do charity. This insulated animal skin tent, the tables, chairs and benches inside, as well as the iron pot for boiling soup and burning materials, are all provided by her for free without charging a penny.

On the surface, the fish head and fish bones were brought by everyone. In fact, the fish heads and fish bones brought by everyone were all leftover after eating meat at home. The meat on top has long been peeled clean. The frozen fish is carefully cut with a knife, and the fillets are stored for a month, and basically only the bones are left after shaving.

Aunt Gongsun doesn't drink the soup for everyone, and she doesn't charge any fees, which is tantamount to charity, not to mention that she has to put on some spices by herself.

"Auntie, can I come in?"

Du Feng thought it was very interesting, so he also went in to join in the fun. He knows the rules and needs to hand in the fish bones. But what to do if he didn't prepare the fish bones, it didn't bother him at all. There are so many fresh fish in the small world of necklaces, all you need to do is remove the flesh.

In order to disguise it, Du Feng also deliberately froze the fish bones with the cold attribute technique, so that they looked like the fish bones owned by the residents of the Extreme North Continent.

"Heck, you can drink two bowls of fish bones fresh. ”

Aunt Gongsun's eyes were very sharp, and she could see at a glance that Du Feng's fish was newly caught, and it did not belong to the species in the surrounding seas. However, she didn't say much, just told Du Feng that he could drink two bowls of fish soup.

In this way, Du Feng also found a bench to sit down. took out a porcelain bowl and asked Aunt Gongsun to serve a bowl of soup. He smelled it, and the fish soup was really good. In addition to fish bones, there are obviously a lot of things added to it.

As the son of Emperor Dan, Du Feng can certainly tell the difference. There are several medicines to nourish the body in the fish soup, such as astragalus, codonopsis, atractylodes, wolfberry, and licorice, but they are all ground into a fine powder mixed in the fish soup, and ordinary people can't taste it.

No wonder Aunt Gongsun agreed to let the children drink an extra bowl, it is estimated that the poor residents of the Far North Continent live too hard and deliberately do charity here. Interestingly, she did not allow refugees who could not hand over the fish bones to come in and drink the soup.

It's right to think about it, if Aunt Gongsun unconditionally allows refugees to come in and drink soup, then soon this fish soup shop will have to close down, so that it will not be able to continue to do charity.
