I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

"I want to raise some delicious food in this pond."

"Raise some good food...?"

With a frown, looking at the empty pond in front of her, Mo Xi was immediately reminded of a very unpleasant memory.

That happened a few days ago.

That noon, after gathering all the girls in the courtyard together, Chen Yuze served a delicious dish that the girls had never eaten before.

That dish was spicy and fragrant, with a texture similar to chicken, but even more tender and smooth.

Although the girls were all hissing and sticking out their tongues from the spiciness, their chopsticks never stopped moving.

The spicy food paired with Chen Yuze's chilled soda made for an incredibly enjoyable meal.

For Moxi, who loves spicy food, the taste is unforgettable after just one bite.

However, Chen Yuze did not tell the girls what the dish was made of.

It wasn't until the next day, when the food-loving Moxi went to Chen Yuze herself, that she learned the dish was called boiled toad.

As for where the toads in the Chen family courtyard came from...

Hilarious! Besides Cheng Wanli, where else could you find a toad this big enough for this family to eat?

So, after learning the truth, Mo happy didn't have a good day.

Moreover, it wasn't just Moxi; Yuanbao's reaction was even more intense after learning the truth.

The number of times she vomited that day was abnormal, almost like morning sickness.

On the contrary, Rong, Zhengyi, and Lu Qianya did not react to this.

You Rong is like a tree; for her, it doesn't matter what she uses as fertilizer.

Justice is even simpler. As long as Chen Yuze personally serves her food, even if it's a can of herring, this girl can eat it all without any expression, let alone a mere toad meat.

And tolerance...

This girl is not only a bit oblivious, but sometimes her thoughts are quite peculiar.

In her view, being able to eat Cheng Wanli was, in a sense, a way of avenging herself.

After learning the truth, she even went to ask Chen Yuze with some anticipation if Cheng Wanli had anything else left to eat.

"Don't worry, I won't raise frogs."

Seeing the distressed look on Moxi's face, Chen Yuze knew what she was thinking.

Amused, Chen Yuze pulled Meixi to the seat next to him and said with a smile, "I'm just planning to raise some seafood, like bullfrogs. But because they make too much noise and jump around, I don't plan to raise them for the time being."

"Farming seafood?"

Moxi blinked her eyes with a hint of curiosity.

As the saying goes, "those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water." Since the Ten Thousand Mountains are located inland, the monsters living here have basically never eaten seafood.

Even when they eat fish and shrimp, most of them are caught from mountain streams and rivers.

Of course, as the Empress of Tushan, Moxi's vision is far beyond that of ordinary demon beasts. She has not only tasted the deliciousness of seafood, but also has her own unique taste and aesthetic when it comes to seafood dishes.

However, Mo happy was really curious about how Chen Yuze planned to keep the seafood alive in these mountains.

"Young Master Yuze, is it really possible to raise seafood in these deep mountains and forests?"

"I don't know either." Chen Yuze shrugged. "Theoretically speaking, this well water definitely can't be used to raise seafood. But it is, after all, water from the Immortal Well of the Mountains and Seas. If we don't try, no one will know what the result will be."

"So, Mr. Chen, you're just thinking about this with a 'let's give it a try' attitude?"

"As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Regardless of the outcome, in my opinion, as long as everyone can enjoy fresh seafood in the future, all these attempts will be worthwhile." Chen Yuze chuckled, then turned to...

The knowledgeable and worldly-wise Meixi asked:

"Mo happy, do you know where we can get fish fry around here?"

"I have seen seafood for sale in Tushan, but if I want saltwater fish fry, I'm afraid I'll have to make a trip to the East China Sea myself."

Stroking her chin, Moxi explained slowly, "Although we are closer to the East Sea than the Central Plains, there is still a small part of the Southern Frontier in between. Even with the best flying boat from Tushan, it would take about two months to travel back and forth."

"Two months?"

It's no exaggeration to say that the journey over the past two months completely dispelled Chen Yuze's idea of ​​raising seafood.

After all, there were still four girls sleeping at home. Chen Yuze couldn't just leave them at home and go off to play so far away, could he?

"How about we switch to raising river fish? Like raising some small fish and shrimp, that sounds like a good idea."

Left with no other choice, Chen Yuze had to settle for second best and choose to raise some freshwater fish at home now.

However, Chen Yuze seemed to have underestimated Moxi's obsession with seafood.

She was genuinely curious about what kind of seafood dishes Chen Yuze could make!

“Young Master Chen, actually, the East Sea sends an envoy to Tushan every year to exchange ideas with us. I've calculated the time, and it should be about time for them to come this year. Why don't I have someone bring the envoy here, and then we can ask him to think of a solution?”

182. His Majesty's Thoughts

As an empress who takes action, what Mo Xi hates most is people who only talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

Therefore, after suggesting to Chen Yuze that someone be sent to bring the envoy from the East Sea to Changqing Mountain, Moxi immediately took out her communication artifact and contacted her confidant.

The two confidantes she contacted were Baihui and Ruiyun, who had witnessed His Majesty's 'wild princess' and 'illegitimate daughter' in Changqing Mountain.

A little earlier, Tushan.

In a quiet teahouse, Baihui and Ruiyun were sitting by the window on the third floor, sipping tea and engrossed in reading a storybook.

The story is called "The Empress's Mister".

Because of its excellent quality and novel plot, it became a hit throughout the entire Shiwan Mountain area in just half a month.

Furthermore, the female protagonist's character design bears a striking resemblance to the Empress of Tushan, resulting in the story's sales in Tushan far exceeding those in other regions.

Almost every household would buy three copies.

One copy is kept permanently and placed in a special protective cabinet.

One book is placed on the bookshelf, which can be taken down and read occasionally.

The last book was something I carried with me every day, recommending it to everyone I met.

In summary, the purposes of these three books are collection, appreciation, and missionary work, respectively.

For example, the storybooks that Baihui and Ruiyun had were recommended to them by another minister in the court.

Although at first, they weren't particularly interested in the story.

But after watching just the beginning, the two girls were completely captivated by the interesting storyline.

So much so that they treated their rare days off as sacred reading days.

When things got exciting, Ruiyun couldn't help but discuss it with Baihui.

"Sister Baihui, do you know the male protagonist's true identity? He is actually..."

"Can you spoiler dogs just shut up already?!"

Having anticipated Ruiyun's reaction, Baihui grabbed a white steamed bun from the table and shoved it into Ruiyun's mouth with lightning speed.

Only after making sure Ruiyun's mouth was completely sealed did Baihui leisurely pull out two earplugs from her pocket, giving herself double protection.

Unfortunately, this blissful reading time didn't last long before it was disrupted by a vibration in Momoe's arms.

Baihui and Ruiyun exchanged a glance.

They knew that His Majesty was looking for them.

"Honestly, what a coincidence that His Majesty had to look for us right when we were resting!"

With a troubled look on her face, Ruiyun, who had barely managed to swallow the steamed bun in her mouth, immediately lay on her desk and began to complain.

"Alright, while storybooks are enjoyable, we need to distinguish between what's important and what's not." After making the bookmark, Baihui reluctantly closed the book and gently comforted Ruiyun:

“When we went to Changqing Mountain last time, didn’t we report the abnormality of the ‘Triangle Cat’ to His Majesty? His Majesty may have come to discuss how to deal with them this time.”

“Sister Baihui, you’re right. Although the storybooks are interesting, we are, after all, His Majesty’s subjects. His Majesty should always come first.”

After nodding and feeling a little better, Ruiyun sat down with Baihui and made contact with Moxi.

"His Majesty!"

Although this communication device does not have video functionality.

However, out of courtesy, Baihui and Ruiyun still performed a half-kneeling salute in a very standard posture.

"I wonder what Your Majesty wishes to do by contacting me today?"

"Indeed, I have something important to discuss with you." Soon, from the other end of the magical artifact came Mo Xi's regal voice:

"Do you still remember which minister was the envoy from the East China Sea this year?"

Is this the person in charge of reception?

"East China Sea!?"

They exchanged a quick glance, and both Baihui and Ruiyun noticed a hint of unease in each other's eyes.

Could it be that the Triangle Cat's unusual behavior is backed by the East China Sea?

Or perhaps His Majesty has reached some new consensus with the Dragon King of the East Sea?

"Your Majesty, Ruiyun is in charge of receiving this year's envoy from the East Sea."

Unable to decipher the meaning behind His Majesty's words, Baihui had no choice but to continue answering His Majesty's question.

“Ruiyun? That saves trouble.” Moxi paused abruptly at this point.

"Judging by the time, the envoy from the East Sea should be arriving soon, right?"

“Yes, Your Majesty.” As the person in charge of receiving the East Sea envoy, Ruiyun answered with considerable certainty: “If nothing unexpected happens, the East Sea envoy should arrive at Tushan in two days.”

“Alright, then you can treat him as usual. Then find an opportunity to bring that envoy to me. I have something very important that I need his help with.”

"We need an envoy from the East Sea to help us!?"

Their pupils contracted, but then a look of joy appeared on Baihui and Ruiyun's faces.

His Majesty just used the word 'please'.
