"But the people of Dekang would rather die than eat things from the sea. If the fish we salvage don't look like river fish, I'm afraid Jinyuan City won't buy them."

Qin Zhen knew the national conditions of Dekang very well. Even the coast of Bozhou stayed away from the sea water and would be flooded by tsunamis every few years, causing countless deaths and injuries.

In addition, the sea area is endless as far as the eye can see. A ship carrying hundreds of people passed by it before, but after it was swallowed by the sea water, not even a single person's body could be found.

Therefore, the people in Dekang believed that there were countless corpses in the sea water, and that the seafood had grown up eating humans and drinking human blood.

They won't eat anything in the sea at all, and they regard the octopus and pufferfish that wash up on the beach as taboos, and consider them very unlucky.

On the other hand, even if you don't like eating meat such as river fish and shrimp, you can still accept it.

"They are all fish. We just say they were fished out of local rivers in Bozhou. How would Jinyuan City know?"

The third elder brother waved his hand and looked at the Zhenguo general in a commanding tone: "Isn't it enough to pour the fish out back into the river and catch it again in front of the people?"

When General Zhenguo heard Third Elder Brother's reminder, he couldn't help but raise his lips and smile: "After all, Third Elder Brother is smart. This method is indeed wonderful."

Now Bozhou has run out of food, and if we continue to provide food and porridge to the refugees, we will have to make Third Brother hungry.

This is the only way right now...

"Doctor Qin, after you catch the fish, come and see if they are toxic. As long as they are harmless to the human body, it will be fine."

General Zhenguo made up his mind to do this. It was impossible for them to drive away the refugees...

"Yes, I will try my best." Qin Zhen nodded solemnly, although she felt that this method was too risky.

But she knew that those sea fish were just like river fish, and their meat was even more delicious than river fish.

It's just that the Dekang people are too afraid of sea water... But this matter must be kept secret. If the refugees find out, the consequences will be disastrous.

Like Qianzhou, Bozhou drove the refugees and all the people south of the West City Gate.

Ten miles away from the East City Gate is the entrance to the sea. As long as the people are not allowed to approach the East City Gate, they will not find any boats fishing in the sea.

Under the leadership of General Zhenguo, the fishing boats returned fully loaded in just a few hours.

They hid some fish that looked special and looked like they were not river fish at first glance, then cut them into pieces and cooked them directly, so the refugees would not notice anything unusual.

Only some normal fish were released into the river where the isolation net was fixed.

The rivers in Bozhou flow to the ocean, and a circle of fishing nets is built underwater to ensure that these sea fish will not swim away everywhere.

Afterwards, General Zhenguo appeased all the refugees and explained that there was a shortage of food in Bozhou. Foreign food could not be transported for the time being, so they could only satisfy their hunger with fish and meat.

Under the watchful eyes of many refugees, the boat successfully fished out the fish that had been placed in advance in the fixed waters and sent them back to the government for cooking.

"The third elder brother is compassionate and takes in all the refugees. Even if we don't like to eat fish, we still have to be considerate of the third elder brother."

"That is, we will give out porridge and rice in front of the city gate later. We must show our joy. We must not make Third Brother feel embarrassed."

At this time, these refugees looked up to Third Age. After all, General Zhenguo said that Third Age would live and eat with the people...

So these sycophants moved themselves to force other refugees to accept fish.

"We fled from the vicinity of Qianzhou. We have been eating fish in Qianzhou for three days, and every meal is fish.

At least we still had food for a few days before we started eating fish. We should all be grateful to Third Brother."

"The third elder brother is the son of the royal family, and the Lord of Jinghua City is just in name. The third elder brother said that the food can be delivered in two days, so we will just wait patiently."

Many refugees began to hypnotize themselves and spread the word to others, so that everyone accepted the fish meat.

In the clear and watery fish soup, the fish meat has no color at all, making it look very hard to swallow.

However, in order to survive, these refugees in Bozhou still had to eat the stewed fish in the bowl.

At this time, in Qianzhou City, an alluring aroma was wafting near the cooking class.

The refugees who had eaten crispy fish for two days in a row put down their work for the first time when they smelled this strange and alluring aroma, and came to the cooking class to queue up early in the morning, waiting for the meal to be served.

"Today we serve spicy boiled fish and pickled fish in golden soup.

If you are worried that your children at home cannot eat spicy food, there is also polenta here, and it is still a family unit."

The steward of the cooking class stood on the high platform and shouted loudly, unable to help but smack his lips.

According to the recipe and method given by the city lord, the fish can be made so delicious, and his stomach has already protested.

However, as a staff member of the cooking class, the first rule is not to taste the food privately, so they, the staff, have been tortured by the aroma for more than an hour.

When the steward mentioned two types of fish and meat, the original expectations in the refugees' eyes were inevitably replaced by disappointment.

In their opinion, no matter how the fish is cooked, it will not taste good...

Especially since they have eaten fish for two consecutive days, they are resisting in their hearts, but they cannot show it too obviously.

The refugees at the front of the queue, after receiving the fish and meat, ate directly on the stone table in front of the cooking class.

"This... this is so delicious, so satisfying." The refugee who was the first to taste the boiled fish took a small bite and then excitedly explained to the people around him: "Really, I'm not going to lie to you.

Try it soon."

"Hiss...it's delicious, it's really delicious."

Everyone else followed and tasted the boiled fish and pickled fish. The fish bones were so delicious that their mouths were numbed by the spicy food. They felt extremely enjoyable.

Suddenly, the entire five cities of Qianzhou were filled with sounds of fish bones being fished and hissing.

"My body feels a lot warmer, and my back is sweating."

"Me too, my lower body was cold all day before, but now I feel very warm."

After lunch, everyone looked at the cooking class supervisor with unsatisfied eyes and asked if there was any boiled fish for dinner.

"The city lord has given me the recipe. In the evening, it will be fried cabbage and rice porridge."

The supervisor of the cooking class was also very interested, but he had no say in what kind of meals to provide every day. He had to listen to the arrangements of the city lord and Guo Zhizhou.

Since the natural disaster, I have been eating dry food and wild vegetables for almost half a year to satisfy my hunger.

When they heard that there was cabbage for dinner, all the refugees looked at their relatives excitedly.
