Queen Mary suddenly looked as if she had seen the most magical spell, her eyes widening in amazement: "This is incredible! How did you do it?"
The boy shyly raised the yellow powder in his hand: "Just with this, noble madam."
"Is that something created with alchemy?"
"Uh, this is just some salt..."
"Salt? Isn't it supposed to be white?"
"You mean table salt, madam. You can't use that to catch razor clams. This is foul salt."
"Foul salt?"
Joseph chimed in: "It's made by evaporating sea water, right?"
"Yes, noble sir. Drying out sea water gives you this bitter and stinky salt."
Saying this, the boy carefully extracted a bamboo clam from the hole, about the length of a spoon.
He habitually wanted to toss the clam into his own frame, but the girl next to him quickly tugged at his sleeve.
The boy immediately realized it and held the large bamboo clam with both hands, presenting it to Queen Mary: "Noble madam, I give this to you."
