Datang Nongwang

Chapter 426 Fry
In the Qingsi Pavilion, which opened in the morning.

People come and go.

Another day of overcrowding and people coming to buy shampoo in an endless stream.

Xiang Qi, the manager of the workshop and the shopkeeper of the Qingsi Museum, is too busy to touch the ground.

One will greet this, and the other will greet that.

Moreover, it is necessary to arrange the stocking of the entire Qingsi Museum, and even deal with some troubles caused by customers who cannot buy shampoo because they want to buy a lot.

Buying in bulk is impossible.

Xiang Qi after getting a message from Li Chongyuan from his buddy.

I already have an idea in my heart.

This is not.

At this time, outside the Qingsi Museum, a sign had been erected long ago, stating that the daily sale of shampoo was limited to [-] bamboo tubes, and each person was limited to five tubes.

Come on.

35 Wen a bamboo tube of shampoo, the amount is enough to a liter.

Each bamboo tube is a simple bamboo tube, without special processing or carving, so ordinary that people can mistake it for a piece of bamboo that has been cut off.

Li Chongyuan originally wanted to carve beautiful patterns on the bamboo tube.

But if they are sold in large quantities, whether it is the cost of carving or the process of processing bamboo, it will also increase the cost a lot.

and so.

Li Chongyuan only did some simple processing for each piece of bamboo tube, so it won't be too ugly, at least it can be handed out.

to this end.

In the workshop, the demand for bamboo has also increased greatly, and the cost has also increased a little.

Taking a breath, Xiang Qi sat in the backyard, twisting his neck, but his mind was active.

"Although Mr. Xiao Lang's method of restricting sales is good, it has offended these gentry and rich families in Hu County.If they didn't get shampoo tomorrow, something might happen. '

Xiang Qi was worried.

The opening of Qingsi Pavilion.

It can prevent people in the officialdom from causing trouble.

But the gentry in Hu County, or some Qingpi and wealthy households who don't know where they are, will definitely cause trouble because they can't buy enough shampoo.

In this regard.

Xiang Qi was also thinking about how to prevent such incidents.

after all.

The price of the shampoo is cheap.

Coupled with the good utility, it is natural that some people buy in large quantities.

Either give it away, or ship it to other places for sale, and some people even started researching it after buying a lot yesterday.

Just like in a certain house in Hu county at this time.

A middle-aged man sent his servants to analyze the shampoo bought from the Qingsi Museum, what ingredients were in it, and how it was made.

"Boss, I really don't know how to make this shampoo sold in the Qingsi Pavilion. You see, it's light reddish-yellow fluid, mixed with a refreshing fragrance, which I can't guess at all. Its ingredients." That servant has been researching since yesterday.

After a day and a night, he still had no clue.

The owner's eyes narrowed, and he frowned, "Think of a way, no matter what, we must find out how to make this shampoo. If it doesn't work, then send someone to steal the prescription from Qingsi Pavilion."

It is estimated that only he can think of such a bold idea.

But it is.

Under his investigation, the Qingsi Pavilion has no background.

Some are just Xiang Qi who looks like a foreigner.

Steal recipe.

Or research a prescription.

Li Chongyuan had already put an end to these ways.

the study.

In the words of Li Chongyuan, it is difficult.

The shampoo that can be sold is no longer a simple shampoo.

Among them, Li Chongyuan added some spices to cover up the original smell of saponins.

Coupled with the smell of cypress leaves, don't say that ordinary people can't think that it is made of saponins. It is estimated that even if they are taken back to Chang'an for identification by the bath bean maker, they may not be able to identify the ingredients.

As for stealing.

That is even more impossible.

The walls of the workshop were not built in vain.

And in the workshop, although the old lady sent Xiang Qi to be in charge, there were twenty or thirty guards.

Ordinary people want to enter the workshop to steal prescriptions, not to mention that the prescriptions cannot be stolen, it is estimated that they will have to spend their lives in it.

at this time.

In the valley of Niushou Mountain in Lizhuang.

Li Chongyuan was so busy that he was sweating profusely, he didn't even think about what was going on in the Qingsi Pavilion.

"Big belly, hurry up, carry this big carp to the hatching pond." Li Chongyuan carefully caught a surprisingly big carp.

This is the breeding season.

every day.

Potbelly they are all busy breeding.

Today, however, Li Chongyuan did it himself, got out of the pond, and moved the female fish to the hatching pond.

After Dadu heard the sound, he quickly took over the female fish, carried her carefully and ran to the side of the hatching pond, and put the fish into the flowing water of the hatching pond.

If there is a female fish, the male fish is naturally indispensable.

Twenty females are matched with ten males.

This is the best matching ratio recorded by Li Chongyuan in his previous life.

But under the current conditions.

To be on the safe side, Li Chongyuan matched them in a one-to-one ratio.

after all.

It is unscientific to do fish fry breeding under such insufficient conditions.

Moreover, hatching and breeding are carried out under semi-artificial conditions. Li Chongyuan can only adopt such insurance measures to increase the yield of fry.

Just like in the hatching pool not far away.

Some time ago, the hatching of grass carp and Dadu were carried out according to such a matching ratio.

This is not.

The fry that had been removed from the hatchery earlier were moved to a small pond for egg yolk feeding.

After finishing the carp relocation, Li Chongyuan came to the grass carp fry pond, "Big belly, feed more egg yolks. There are so many fry, don't starve to death."

"Xiao Langjun, don't worry, I will feed you according to your instructions." Dadu wiped his hands and responded with a smile.

Several other servants gathered around with brochures and hard pens after their busy work, wanting to hear what Li Chongyuan said about fish breeding and hatching techniques.

Li Chongyuan was very generous to his own people.

Talk about anything.

From the aphrodisiac of fish, to the division of fish fry into ponds and fry breeding.

Although Dadu was illiterate, recently he started to learn how to read under the guidance of those servants.

Although there is no booklet and pen in his hand, he listens very carefully.

Just when Li Chongyuan was talking happily.

Li Yuan brought the girl Wan'er to the valley.

"Look, Uncle, I just said that the fourth brother is here." Once on the top of the valley, Wan'er pointed to Li Chongyuan in the valley and said joyfully to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan wiped the sweat from his brow, and shook the straw hat in his hand, "It's so hot, your fourth brother is not at home to stay well, and you have to work with these servants, and you don't know what you're busy with every day."

"Uncle, fourth brother raises fish. Oh, by the way, fourth brother also hatched a lot of beautiful small fish, red, yellow, white, and black. They are very beautiful." Wan'er was shocked yesterday. He was beaten and punished, but at this time he didn't remember to hate his fourth brother, and he helped his fourth brother to speak good words.

If Li Chongyuan heard this, he might still have some sense of pride in his heart.

Sensible, it was beaten out!

After hearing this, Li Yuan became curious.

he knows.

There are red carp and white carp.

But this black one has never been seen before.

Curious, Li Yuan walked straight into the valley.

Wan'er followed closely behind.

As for Jin's servant, he was carrying a food box and followed behind.

As for the guards, there must be some, but there are not many, just four.

In Lizhuang.

When Li Yuan travels, the number of people is really pitiful.

Compared with him in Tai'an Palace, it really pales in comparison, there is no comparison.

When Li Yuan came to the valley, he saw that Li Chongyuan was talking to several servants who specialized in fish farms. From Li Chongyuan's expression, he could tell that he was very happy.

Li Yuan coughed dryly.

A sudden dry cough made Li Chongyuan stop talking, and when he saw Li Yuan approaching, he hurried over to greet him, "Uncle, why are you here? It's a hot day, and you don't rest at home. If you have heat stroke, it's a The nephew's crimes."

"I have nothing to do, come and take a look. I heard from Wan'er that you have hatched some beautiful fish, take uncle to have a look." Li Yuan waved his hand, not paying attention.

Li Chongyuan looked at Wan'er, and stared fiercely.

Stared at by her fourth brother, Wan'er immediately moved back two steps involuntarily, like a mouse seeing a cat, her eyes dodged.

She knows it well.

What he said unintentionally at home made Li Yuan curious.

otherwise.

Li Yuan would not have come to this valley in such hot weather.

Having no time to teach this girl, Li Chongyuan had no choice but to support Li Yuan, "Uncle, this way please, that's the goldfish pond I made."

Li Yuan, who was helped to the edge of the pool, suddenly focused his eyes, and his eyes flashed with puzzlement and curiosity.

Although he knew about Li Chongyuan hatching fish fry.

But he has never seen fish of various colors like the one in front of him.

Li Yuan, who walked around the goldfish pond, couldn't help being curious, "Yuaner, why do these fish have so many colors? Also, just now you said that these fish are called goldfish. Could it be that they are new species?"

"Uncle, this is a long story. Uncle, let me speak slowly so that Uncle can understand." When Li Chongyuan was asked about his professional affairs, he immediately regained his energy.

There is a saying.

For his own professional affairs, he can completely control the overall situation.

What's more, if you still talk about your professional affairs with some outsiders, isn't that just easy to grasp.

The beginning of the conversation.

Li Chongyuan's mouth began to froth.

After a long time, Li Yuan understood what he heard, but he couldn't understand the problem, "Yuan'er, you mean these red, yellow, white and black fish are called goldfish, and they are a variant of carp (crucian carp)? Where did the mutation come from? Isn't crucian carp a raw crucian carp?"

"Yes, Uncle, goldfish is a mutated species hatched from crucian carp. Its male and female lines are both crucian carp, but the probability of it producing a mutated species is not high. And I can hatch so many goldfish here They bought some foreign species of crucian carp, so it is very easy to produce mutated species." Li Chongyuan replied happily.

Li Chongyuan was happy.

That's because there are many colors of goldfish in the goldfish pond.

Yellow, red, white, black, and orange.

Although these goldfish are still in the shape of crucian carp, this first step has been successful. As long as they continue to breed and hatch, the matter of making money will follow.

after all.

Breeding goldfish, Li Chongyuan is to make money.

As for real goldfish.

Li Chongyuan believes that in just a few years, goldfish will surely become the playthings raised in the homes of literati and inkmen in the Tang Dynasty.

The colors are bright and beautiful.

For example, Li Chongyuan bred the dragon eye variety, or the lion head variety, or other types of goldfish.

Li Chongyuan could have imagined that those literati would definitely chase after him, rushing to his door, and buying expensive goldfish from Li Chongyuan, so as to show off in their literati circle.

When Li Chongyuan was happy, Li Yuan seemed thoughtful, "Yuan'er, although I don't quite understand what you said, but according to what you said, can carp or other types of fish be the same?"

"Uncle Hui, what you said is right. As long as there are fish of the same species, their offspring may mutate, but the probability is low. Look, Uncle, there are several red carp in that pond. White and white koi." Li Chongyuan responded, pointing to a carp pond not far away.

Li Yuan looked over and nodded, "Yeah. But, Yuan'er, you bred this kind of goldfish not for eating, but for looking good?"

Li Chongyuan was questioned.

Indeed.

If it didn't look good, he, Li Chongyuan, would have spent so much effort trying to breed goldfish.

He also ordered Qi Huo to send someone to the warehouse to tell him to find some live crucian carp from the south or from all over the Tang country.

A lot of money was spent, and a lot of people died.

If it is really just to breed new species of fish to eat, then Li Chongyuan will lose a lot of money.

But Li Yuan's words made Li Chongyuan wonder if he should respond truthfully.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Chongyuan looked at Li Yuan, "Uncle, I am not afraid that you will laugh at me. In Chang'an City, there are rumors that I, Li Chongyuan, am rich, but there is a reason why I am rich. All the purposes of my being rich, everything They are all for farming. The people of our country are in poverty. If we have good grain seeds, good species, etc., the people of our country will not be so poor that they will go hungry. Therefore, I started from food crops, to fruit tree seedlings, and then to Scaled fish, animals and poultry, the cultivation of all these new varieties, or the accumulation of technology for all crops and fruit trees, as well as observation and research, etc., ultimately cannot be separated from one word, money."

Li Chongyuan's plain words made Li Yuan stunned.

Money is a good thing.

Everyone wants to have good things.

But Li Chongyuan was short of money.

After talking about Li Chongyuan's call, not only Li Yuan knew Li Chongyuan's ultimate goal, but even the girl Wan'er knew his fourth brother's ultimate goal.

Li Yuan looked at Li Chongyuan sternly, and took a long breath, "Yuan'er, uncle always thought you were ignorant of world affairs, and the purpose of coming to Li Zhuang was just to hide in peace. Unexpectedly, Yuan'er has such a great ambition. Ambition. Uncle doesn’t say he supports you, but you have to do what you can.”

Li Chongyuan understood.

The Jin servant on the side also understood.

As for Wan'er, she felt hesitant in her heart at this moment, as if she was making a major decision.
