After seeing Li Chengdao, Li Xiu did not go out again, but stayed at home and rested, occasionally taking his family to visit or around Suzhou City. He even planned to take a few days to visit Hangzhou and enjoy the West Lake during the Tang Dynasty. Although the West Lake did not have some cultural landscapes from later generations at this time, such as Leifeng Pagoda and Broken Bridge, the natural scenery of West Lake itself is also worth a visit.

"Where is Qi Niang, why is there no one else?" Li Xiu had lunch that day and was about to announce the trip to Hangzhou in a few days, but suddenly he found that Qi Niang was not there, which made him ask in surprise.

"Husband, I'm really. Qi Niang went back to the shipbuilding workshop yesterday. I didn't expect you to find out today!" Princess Pingyang said with a smile. Qi Niang was addicted to shipbuilding and stayed in the workshop for a few days at any time. They were all used to it.

"This..." Li Xiu smiled embarrassedly when he heard this. Qi Niang stayed at home a few days ago, and he had been thinking about Li Chengdao's affairs, so he really didn't notice that Qi Niang was not at home.

But at this moment, a servant suddenly came to report that He'er was coming to visit, which made Princess Pingyang and the others very happy. They hurried to the front yard to greet him. Li Xiu followed him, but when he came to the front yard, he found that He'er was the only one who came today, and Shangguan Yi was not there.

"Hen'er, why are you here alone? Come in and have tea!" Princess Pingyang and the lady in Yi'er also greeted him enthusiastically, and then took her hand and asked while walking.

"There are too many things in Haiyan County. My husband is very busy these days and can't take time. It just so happened that the first batch of canned food has been produced in the canning workshop and needs to be handed over here, so I'll go there myself to avoid making any mistakes!" Hen'er also replied with a smile. Although she was very busy after marrying Shangguan Yi, she felt very fulfilled. Now she is playing a role of a virtuous person inside and outside, and the whole people of Haiyan County also praised her.

"The workshop will start selling canned food so soon?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Hen'er's words. He had been in Haiyan for several days and knew very well about the situation in the county. He remembered that when he left, the seafood canned food workshop had just started to operate. It was only a few days before. Even if it was produced, the quantity might not be large. It should be not worth transporting.

"Sir, I don't know that canned seafood is a new thing after all, and I am also worried that the people in the mainland will not be used to the things in the sea, so I first produced a small batch of canned seafood and shipped it to Chang'an and try it." Hen'er explained with a smile at this time. This was also what Shangguan Yi had discussed with Zhang Shiyi before.

"This is because the things in the sea have a strong fishy smell. Someone in Suzhou City had sold a fish that was bigger than a human. My husband looked at it and bought some fresh and tasted it. The result was that the fishy smell was very heavy and the meat was very thick. Most people really couldn't get used to it." At this time, the lady in the clothes also spoke.

"Haha, that's called a shark. This thing is a tiger in the sea. And the shark meat is not delicious at first, but it can be used as medicine." Li Xiu couldn't help but smile when he heard the words of Yi Niang. He had seen someone buying sharks in Suzhou City before, and they were very big. I really don't know how they caught it. At that time, he thought it was novel, so he bought a large piece and went home. But after he finished, he found that it was not delicious.

"Hello~, I've eaten shark meat, it's not delicious, but the seafood in the sea is rich, and some fish and shrimps are still very delicious. I brought a few canned foods in person this time. Mr.'s mouth has always been very tasty, so why don't you ask Mr. to comment?" Hener smiled when he heard this. In order to make delicious canned seafood, she has eaten a lot of seafood these days.

"That's great, I'm just about to try it!" Li Xiu immediately said happily when he heard this. If canned seafood can be promoted, it will completely revitalize the economy of Haiyan County and even set an example for other coastal prefectures and counties. To put it more broadly, it can even increase the attention of the Tang Dynasty to the ocean. After all, with the prosperity of fishing, marine trade will definitely benefit.

With the instructions from He'er, the maid next to her immediately brought up a box. After opening it, she took out more than a dozen cans from it. Each can was different. The seafood made from cans was painted outside, most of which were various sea fish, as well as shrimps and shellfish.

Li Xiu first picked a can of fish from these cans, which said the king fish. However, Li Xiu looked at it and felt that this thing looked like the big yellow croaker he had eaten. I don’t know if it was a kind of thing, but it doesn’t matter. At that moment, he opened the can and immediately smelled a fresh and salty smell. The fish meat inside was cut into pieces. Li Xiu picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and tasted it. He found that the taste was very delicious. The salty and fishy smell unique to sea fish is not very heavy, and ordinary people should be able to accept it.

"The taste is good, you can try it too!" Li Xiu immediately greeted Princess Pingyang and the others.

Seeing Li Xiu, who had always been holding his mouth, also praised the taste of the canned food, which made Princess Pingyang and the others a little curious. They picked up their chopsticks and tasted it. They found that although they were not as good as the delicious food they usually eat, it was already very good to have the canned food that tasted like this.

Next, Li Xiu tasted other canned foods and found that they had their own characteristics. There were several types of fishy smells a little bit louder, but it would be better if you get used to them. After all, some people still like this fishy smell. For example, mutton also has a special smell of smell. Some people can't eat them at all, but some people think the more smelly the better they taste.

"By the way, why didn't I see Qi Niang? She won't go to the shipbuilding workshop again, right?" At this moment, Hen'er suddenly found that her good sister Qi Niang was not there, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I went to the workshop yesterday. Today you are back. Why don't I send someone to call her back?" Li Xiu also answered at this time. Fortunately, he found that Qi Niang was not there before, otherwise he wouldn't be able to answer Hen.

"No, anyway, the canned food I brought also needs to be transported to the south by Qi Niang and Eleventh Brother's caravan. Qi Niang will also need to say hello, so why not go find her!" Hen'er said with a smile.

When Li Xiu heard that Hen'er was going to find Qi Niang, he nodded immediately. He also knew that Hen'er must have many things to talk to among his best friends, so he didn't go with him. So Hen'er chatted with Princess Pingyang and the others for a while, then got up and said goodbye to the shipbuilding workshop.

However, what Li Xiu never expected was that not long after He'er left, he suddenly sent someone to come back quickly and reported him an amazing news: Qi Niang is gone again!
