Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1434: Chapter 1133: Nori and Kelp_1 Chapter 1434: Chapter 1133: Nori and Kelp_1 The Nori grown on the rocks appeared to be mere weeds, and the sea breeze listened as Qiao Xiaomai picked the weeds to eat, rushed to say, “Let me taste it first.”

He knew that Qiao Xiaomai was looking for ideas to get rich, but tasting weeds was something he should do for her.

“No worries, I won’t eat it now, let’s dry it first,” Qiao Xiaomai waved her hand.

For her first harvest, she collected over ten pounds of it and spread it out on bamboo baskets to dry.

Having gotten the Nori, she had ideas about kelp.

At this time, kelp was called “Kombu,” and while it was a bit different from the kelp of later generations, its effects and taste were mostly the same. However, the local fishermen considered Kombu as a water weed and did not eat it. Even if they fished it out, they would throw it back into the sea.

Qiao Xiaomai asked the fishermen for some and laid it out to dry with the Nori.

She called this behavior of hers “tasting seaweed,” and Yang Ye praised her as akin to Shennong. In ancient times Shennong tasted various herbs, and now Qiao Xiaomai was tasting seaweeds for the coastal people, with a sincerity that was truly touching.

Qiao Xiaomai ignored the high hat Yang Ye put on her, and after the Nori was dried, she first made Nori Egg Drop Soup.

This dish was very simple. She only used salt, eggs, kelp, and Spiritual Spring water. After it was ready, she brought it over to Yang Ye, who immediately salivated at the aroma.

How can it smell so good?

“Give it a try,” said Qiao Xiaomai.

Yang Ye picked up a spoon, not scooping any Nori or stirring the egg drops, and took a sip of the soup first.

As the soup hit his palate, his phoenix eyes widened in disbelief, his handsome face displaying an incredulous look.

Could these seaside weeds taste so delicious?

Qiao Xiaomai caught his expression and smiled lightly, “How is it?”

Yang Ye gave her a thumbs up and gestured twice toward her.

Qiao Xiaomai immediately laughed, “Then what do you think it should cost?”

“It’s so delicious, maybe fifty wen per pound,” he suggested. He had inquired about the price of the Nori from fishermen when Qiao Xiaomai was harvesting it. Since it was not available all year round, the price should be higher.

Plus, this was the price after drying, and one pound of it was quite a lot.

Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “Then we will announce it tomorrow.”

There were several coastal prefectures in Daqi; all should be notified.

The lives of the coastal fishermen could finally improve.

But what about those not on the coast…

Qiao Xiaomai rubbed her temples, feeling a headache, “This really isn’t easy.”

“What’s not easy?” asked Yang Ye casually.

“Making the common people wealthy.”

Hearing this, Yang Ye, who found it relatable, nodded, “Indeed. It’s not easy being the Emperor.”

Though he was a prince, he found the actual work to be as exhausting as that of an ox.

Sighing, he quickly turned his thoughts back to the Nori. “This is delicious even just boiled simply, you should quickly think of other ways to prepare it. And the Kombu–I hope its taste is no less than the Nori’s.”

Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow at this, “Alright.”

The flavors from abroad certainly wouldn’t lose to Nori. The MSG of later generations, she heard, was extracted from kelp. Without MSG here, the emergence of kelp would definitely delight the chefs.

With that thought, she used some kelp to make Kelp Pork Rib Soup.

When Yang Ye tasted this, he was stunned by its deliciousness.

So delicious, so delicious!

The deliciousness was accompanied by a unique freshness. Ah, to think such delightful food could be enjoyed by the seaside!

“This, sixty wen per pound,” Yang Ye said.

“There’s a lot of this one, more than the Nori,” Qiao Xiaomai reminded him to not set the price carelessly–if set too high, the common people wouldn’t be able to afford it.

The kelp could prevent goiter, and she wanted it to be accessible to the ordinary folk.
