Chapter 3: Each Change, Only Follow the Immortal's Order, Ask for Everything!
"Immortal, the garrison near the port has already set up camp to isolate the people of the empire. At the same time, they have detected that two military fishing boats are approaching us. They will arrive in about two hours.”
A man dressed in a sailor's uniform with a pair of bamboo binoculars around his neck bowed to Luo Zixuan and responded respectfully.
The person who spoke was Nangong Yuan, the captain of the crew appointed by Luo Zixuan. He was in charge of navigation, maintenance, and other work.
As for the binoculars on his neck, they were personally made by Luo Zixuan. This was just a sample, and Luo Zixuan had no better one.
Nangong Yuan was overjoyed after seeing this a few times. He had never seen such a thing before. He even suspected that this so-called telescope was the legendary clairvoyance!
"Don't let them board the ship. Tell them to bring the letter back and get Meng Yi to lead the army here!”
Luo Zixuan glanced at Nangong Yuan and nodded slightly. He then said,""How much food is left on the ship?"
"Immortal, we have enough food to stay at sea for a month!”
A man in a chef's uniform also bowed to Luo Zixuan and said respectfully.
This chef was called Pao Yi. Legend had it that he was Pao Ding's cousin. His cooking skills were also very good, especially his knife skills. It was said that he was only slightly inferior to Pao Ding. He was once an imperial chef and had cooked food for the First Emperor.
Luo Zixuan had asked him to manage the kitchen, the daily diet, food storage, and other matters. At the same time, Luo Zixuan had personally taught him how to cook food, changing his concept of cooking.
In addition, Luo Zixuan had also taught him the nutrition of food, storage, marinating and other methods. On the one hand, it was to prevent the previous scurvy from happening again, and on the other hand, it was to better use the food.
Recently, Bubble B had been developing methods to store food such as smoked meat, cured meat, sausages, salted fish, and salted vegetables.
"How about salt production and food farming?”
Luo Zixuan nodded slightly and said again.
"Currently, there are five stones (about 500 catties) of white salt reserves. There are less than 30 stones of original salt left in the salt mine. In another three days, it will be completely consumed. Currently, one stone of original salt can be converted into about 50 catties of white salt (about 250 grams in the Qin Dynasty)!”
"In terms of food cultivation, potatoes, peanuts, soybeans, tomatoes, spinach, and other sacred plants are growing well. There are no bad conditions yet!”
This time, it was finally Xu Fu's turn to speak. His face was also full of respect for Luo Zixuan.
Now, Xu Fu was no longer obsessed with alchemy. Instead, he began to study the method of making salt and the cultivation of various plants.
Potato, peanuts, soybeans, tomatoes, and other plants were all things they found when they passed by various islands. Luo Zixuan personally planted them and was responsible for them for a while. After finding that there were no major problems, he handed the matter to Xu Fu, who volunteered to manage it.
Xu Fu didn't know about potatoes, peanuts, and soybeans, but he knew about tomatoes and spinach. One of them was a holy fruit, and the other was a holy herb. If potatoes, peanuts, and soybeans were valued by Luo Zixuan, and he even planted and cultivated them personally, they must be holy plants with mysterious and magical effects.
In his opinion, if he could interact more with such a holy plant, he would definitely be closer to the path of becoming an immortal!
As for the salt production method, it was another matter that Luo Zixuan had entrusted him with.
Because they had been drifting on the sea for a long time, the salt that Xu Fu and the others had brought on the ship had long been used up. In order not to run out of salt, they were very strict with the use of salt every day. However, even so, as long as the price did not increase, they would eventually run out of salt.
At that time, Xu Fu and the others were suffering from scurvy, which was also due to the lack of salt, which caused their body's resistance to decline rapidly.
People could not eat meat or rice, but they could not eat salt. If they did not eat salt, they would die!
Therefore, Luo Zixuan personally taught them how to quickly make salt from the salt mine and successfully made white salt.
When Luo Zi Xuan made the white salt, Xu Fu and the others were all dumbfounded. They had never seen such pure salt without any impurities or bitterness. Even Biao Yi, who had once cooked food for the First Emperor, said that the salt used in the palace was not as high quality as this salt.
Xu Fu knew how important salt was. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed more than ten times until his head bled. He only hoped that Luo Zixuan would agree to let him be responsible for salt production in the future.
Luo Zixuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Since then, Xu Fu had never touched a pill furnace or refined pills again. He had only focused on the method of making salt.
"Alright, let's go!"
Luo Zixuan nodded and said calmly.
As long as there were no special circumstances, they would have a meeting like this every morning so that Luo Zixuan could better understand the situation in all aspects.
It had been more than half a year since they first met on the deserted island.
Under Luo Zixuan's guidance and training, Xu Fu and the others had undergone a huge change.
The crew had grown from rookies to qualified sailors. They could solve most of the problems they encountered during the voyage independently.
Under Luo Zixuan's militarized management, training, and necessary reasonable diet, the once sallow and emaciated children's physical fitness had become several times stronger, and their mental appearance was incomparable.
It was precisely because of these changes and the substantial benefits that Xu Fu and the others respected and admired Luo Zixuan. Everyone regarded him as a god!
In their hearts, Luo Zixuan's status was far higher than Qin Shihuang's.
Therefore, Luo Zixuan only told them not to dock directly and to stop a hundred miles away from the port. They all did as they were told, completely ignoring the reaction of the Empire.
Now, they only listened to Luo Zixuan's orders and followed the orders of the immortals!
