For them, seafood is actually the easiest thing to get right now.

They have a professional fishing team that sends hundreds of people out to sea every day to catch seafood.

Even so, there's still plenty of seafood in the sea.

Because there are very few fishermen nowadays, and even fewer who are officially engaged in seafood fishing.

Only they have the ability to catch large quantities of seafood.

As soon as Zhou Wanwan stepped into the tent, she saw many people coming to see her.

Zhou Wanwan said speechlessly, "Do these noble ladies really have nothing better to do? Why do they have to come to me?"

The Old Scholar Tree said helplessly, "Who could know? They were just talking about taking you horseback riding at the horse farm!"

There is a large horse ranch on the border called Black Wind Horse Ranch. It is very large and noble ladies like to gather there.

The noble ladies entered, Shangguan Wan'er looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Zhou Wanwan, what's the point of reading here every day? You might as well go to the Black Wind Horse Ranch."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her helplessly and said, "You guys go do your own thing, why do you have to take me with you?"

Shangguan Wan'er sneered, "Bringing you along is an honor, and besides, I've heard there's a horse race at Black Wind Horse Ranch. Don't you want to go check it out?"

There are really a lot of interesting things about this place.

Zhou Wanwan really didn't want to go, but those girls wouldn't let it go.

Zhou Min advised, "Wanwan, you can't be so antisocial. So many of us sisters are inviting you to go out and have fun. You can't refuse, can you?"

"Surely I can provide food and drink?" Princess Jianing said.

Okay! With food and drinks provided, she really couldn't refuse.

Zhou Wanwan had no choice but to follow these noble ladies to the Black Wind Horse Ranch.

Each of the ladies had their own car. Everyone looked at Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "You invited me out to play, you can't just not provide a car, can you?"

Princess Jianing, seated on her horse, looked down at her and said, "Your family isn't so poor that you don't even have a carriage, is it?"

Zhou Wanwan said speechlessly, "No."

The main reason is that she doesn't need a horse to go out; all she needs is the Old Scholar Tree and her Old Ancestor, who are much faster than horses.

Princess Jianing said helplessly, "Then you can ride in my carriage!"

Zhou Wanwan boarded the carriage, and the group set off in a grand procession towards the Black Wind Horse Ranch.

The Black Wind Horse Ranch is located in the suburbs, covering a large area, and boasts a beautiful environment and fresh air.

This is not only a horse farm, but also a great place for horse racing betting.

Shangguan Wan'er said, "This place is indeed quite nice. It's really not easy to raise such good horses at the border."

The steward inside led them out and said:

"Excuse me, young lady, are you planning to go betting on horses or riding horses?"

Alternatively, we can also enjoy hot springs and watch equestrian performances here.

The girls were stunned. "There are hot springs and equestrian shows?"

The manager smiled and said:

"Of course, soon we will also have animal shows here, all of them are Dahai creatures."

For example, dolphin, sea lion, and whale shows.

Princess Jianing said, "Then take us to the horse racing track! How do you bet on horses here?"

The steward smiled and said:

"It's very simple, there are a total of 26 horses competing today."

You can place bets, and if you bet on the champion correctly, you can win money.

This is similar to the old Colosseum.

Princess Jianing said, "Alright, I understand. Find us a better spot."

The manager led them directly upstairs. The location was indeed excellent; it was a small private room that cost 100 taels of silver.

Shangguan Wan'er said, "I feel this border region is too magical. I'm spending money non-stop every day, it just doesn't stop."

Princess Jianing nodded, looking at the private room, and said, "But the environment is indeed quite nice. Look, you can even see the outside scene from here, and there's even a telescope. What's that?"

Princess Jianing picked up the telescope, glanced at it, and exclaimed, "Wow! How amazing! It can see so far away, and so clearly! What's the principle behind this?"

All the noble ladies gathered around and peered at the horse farm through their binoculars.

Zhou Wanwan ordered some food, since it didn't cost her any money.

She ordered all the snacks, drinks, fruits, and tea she could find.

By the time Princess Jianing realized what was happening, a huge amount of food had already been ordered on the table.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? You actually ordered so much food. Can you finish it all by yourself?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Didn't you promise that you'd provide me with food and drinks when you brought me out? What's wrong with me ordering some food now? Are you reluctant to let me go?"

Zhou Wanwan really didn't want to come out, but these rich ladies acted like they were crazy, insisting that she come out and even saying they would provide her with food and drink.

Only then did Zhou Wanwan agree to come out.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the food on the table and said, "This stuff is expensive and tastes terrible. Why did we have to order so much? Isn't that a waste?"

Zhou Wanwan squinted at her and said, "You've tasted it, so you're saying this stuff is awful?"

"This is all black, I don't know what it is, it doesn't look appetizing at all."

Zhou Wanwan said, "I think the chocolate is quite delicious, and these cakes taste pretty good too."

Despite the cakes being described as dark and unappetizing, these were all meticulously crafted by her team.

Was it easy for her to make these cakes?

It certainly wasn't easy; she ate a piece of chocolate cake and then a piece of strawberry cake.

The noble ladies looked at the cake and said, "What is this? I've never seen it before!"

"Let's give it a try! Let's see if it tastes good."

"It's delicious! This tastes absolutely amazing! How can there be something so delicious in the world?"

"It's really delicious, especially this chocolate, it tastes really good."

Princess Jianing took a bite of the chocolate cake and said, "What... what is this? How can it be so delicious?"

Shangguan Wan'er also took a bite. "Is this a pastry?"

The maid beside her said:

"This is a cake, a dessert, it's very popular. Do you need any more?"

We have cakes in all sorts of flavors here.

Princess Jianing nodded and asked, "What other flavors are there?"

The maid said, "Mango, mousse, matcha, blueberry, and vanilla flavors—these are all newly developed cakes and are very popular."

Princess Jianing said, "Then one of each, please!"

Shangguan Wan'er said, "Is this really a border town? How come it has everything? It's amazing!"

Princess Jianing joked, "I feel that the border is more fun than the capital. It would be even better if there were a night market like in the capital."

Zhou Wanwan said, "Yes, there's a night market! There's a night market in Crushed Stone Fort, and it's very lively. You can go and have some fun if you have the chance."

Princess Jianing looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "Is there a night market at Yanmen Pass?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Of course! And it's incredibly lively."
