Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　The Tang government also began to send people to arrange the Lantern Festival.A fire tree, a tree more than ten meters high, stands in the most lively street market in Chang'an City.

　　On the tree, lanterns are hung one by one, but the government has prepared thousands of lanterns... When all the lanterns are lit, it will be like a burning tree, so it is called a fire tree.

　　The atmosphere of the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City is quite strong, and it is much stronger than Yangzhou City.

　　Especially when compared with Mingyu Island, the difference between the two is heaven and earth.

　　On Mingyu Island, there was obviously no change, as if the Lantern Festival was not coming.

　　The main reason is that there are many interesting projects on the island, none of which is worse than the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, so the officials on the island have no feeling.

　　"The Lantern Festival is coming. Brother Lu, shall we set up lanterns on the island?" Li Lizhi asked curiously.

　　"No need, there are too few people on our island. Although it's not difficult to arrange lanterns, it's not very interesting. Let's go back to Chang'an to play in the evening of the Lantern Festival." Lu Xiu said with a smile.

　　"On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, Chang'an was indeed very lively. Although Mingyu Island is absent, the atmosphere is really incomparable." Li Yuyao nodded.

　　"I asked my father to take Lizhi out of the palace last year, but my father refused to take it, so I secretly went out alone every time. Lizhi especially wanted to see the Lantern Festival night market and admire the beautiful lanterns. So brother Lu, you have to bring it with you. Li Zhi." Li Zhi pouted.

　　Teenage girls like to play the most and like a lively age.

　　"Hehe, aren't I afraid that there will be a lot of fish and dragons on the street, and I can't protect my beauty?" Li Er laughed.

　　"Royal Father, Li Zhi doesn't want you to bring her this year." Li Zhi hummed.

　　"Yeah. After the Lantern Festival, after dinner, I'll take a few of you around Chang'an City." Lu Xiu said. .

Chapter 267

　　"Hehe, this time is different from the past. If the son-in-law appears in Chang'an City rashly, it will definitely cause an uproar, so try to be careful as much as possible."

　　Li Er, who is often worshipped by thousands of people to the emperor, has a deep understanding of this.

　　"Yeah, the national teacher sacrificed to the sky and turned into a blue dragon, so that no one in Chang'an knows the king." Fang Xuanling smiled.

　　If it appears rashly on Chang'an Street, it will definitely attract the fanatical worship of many people in the city.

　　Lu Xiu is what the people want, and His Majesty is no match for Lu Xiu.

　　"Brother Lu, let's not bring so many guards, or else it will be no fun at all." Lizhi said anxiously.

　　"Well, it's a little troublesome! On the night of the Lantern Festival, I will wear a mask when I go out and go out in disguise as 25." Lu Xiu frowned, if he had the ability to imitate fruit, maybe it would be easier to go out.

　　Li Er also had the same idea, just disguise a little to make it difficult for the people to recognize him.

　　With Lu Xiu's ability, no one would worry about who could hurt him.

　　"By the way, National Teacher, the old man has a request." Fang Xuanling finally got down to business.

　　This time, I took the opportunity to follow His Majesty to find Lu Xiu, not for the sake of having a conversation.

　　"Xuanling, what's the matter with you?" Li Er was also quite surprised.

　　"Hehe, it's not a big deal. The old man mainly hopes that the national teacher will allow the old man to bring [-] people to the island and organize a fleet to go out to sea to catch seafood." Fang Xuanling whispered.

　　The resources of the sea are extremely rich, and Mingyu Island can be seen from the beach.Basically, it doesn't take much effort, and a person can pick up twenty or thirty pounds of seafood a day.

　　If he could organize a fleet of several hundred people to go fishing from Mingyu Island, it would not be difficult to catch tens of thousands of catties of seafood a day.

　　Fang Xuanling's idea is very simple, he wants to open a seafood shop in Chang'an City.To this end, a few days ago, the housekeeper was instructed to buy a shop opposite the Zuixian Building on Zhuque Street.

　　Cheng Yaojin opened a furniture store and made a lot of money, followed by Yuchigong's lively hot pot restaurant, and then Qin Qiong's barbecue restaurant a few days ago, which deeply stimulated Fang Xuanling.

　　It is said that the eldest grandson Wuji also began to study the preparation of tea leaves. In the spring of next year, he is ready to sell the fried tea leaves.

　　Even including his majesty, he opened a small stove for himself to make money.The gate outside Chang'an City that connects the two places, every time you cross the gate, you have to pay His Majesty ten money.

　　Tens of thousands of people use it a day, you can easily make hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you can earn several million dollars a month.

　　So seeing that colleagues sent people to open stores and make a lot of money in business, Fang Xuanling wanted to get a piece of the pie and make some money to subsidize the family.

　　But there is no idea, so I can only focus on the seafood that is often eaten on the island.

　　"You want to sell seafood?"

　　"Yes, although the people of Chang'an City are not worried about food and clothing, most people are not very wealthy. Some people can only eat meat for a few days or even a month. If you can provide a lot of cheap and delicious seafood ingredients, It can enrich the food of the people.”

　　Although there will be more grazing on the grassland next year, the people will not worry about not being able to eat beef and mutton.But the seafood is delicious and easy to cook. He survived on the desert island for seven days, and the food he made himself tasted good.It's not difficult to do, there are grilled directly on charcoal, braised and steamed, and can even be used to make delicious fish paste! !

　　Think about a pound of seafood, even if it only sells for two dollars, if you can sell hundreds of thousands of seafood in one day, you can get dozens of tons.

　　Excluding part of the cost, the profit will still be huge!

　　And fishing at sea is not difficult, he can catch dozens of pounds by himself.If you cast it down with a fishing net, you can catch tens of thousands of fish a day.

　　"It's a good idea, and it's laudable."

　　Lu Xiu nodded in agreement. The ancients seldom ate seafood. One was that other than the aristocratic family, other people actually did not have the ability to go to sea. The other was the inconvenience of transportation.

　　Even in modern times, Chinese people have not eaten much seafood, mostly freshwater fish.

　　If you can develop the habit of eating seafood, one more food source is naturally very good.

　　"If you want to send hundreds of people to Mingyu Island to fish, I won't agree."

　　Mingyu Island is very rich in seafood, but I don't want people to mine it in large quantities.

　　"Really?" Fang Xuanling sighed in disappointment.

　　"Although Mingyu Island is not open to you, it is not impossible to solve it. Now outside Chang'an City, doesn't it mean that Yangzhou City, which is thousands of miles away, has been connected to Yangzhou City, you can send someone to organize a fleet in Yangzhou to go out to sea to specialize in fishing. Ah, Yangzhou is near the sea, and it is convenient to buy a boat with a dock." Lu Xiu laughed.

　　"Hey, so that's the case. Thank you Lu Guoshi for his guidance. This old man knows what to do." Fang Xuanling's face was full of joy.

　　"You can find Qian Yong in Yangzhou, and he can help you."

　　Qian Yong can be said to be very familiar with the boats that go out to sea, the fishing gear required for fishing, and the recruitment of sailors. .

Chapter 268

　　Fang Xuanling, who was instructed by Lu Xiu, immediately sent someone back to Chang'an to prepare all the matters of going out to sea for fishing.

　　The Lantern Festival is finally here after the people's preparations are in full swing.

　　"I'm looking forward to the night market on the Lantern Festival."

　　As far as the eye can see, the city is full of brilliant lights, and it feels like a dream when you think about it.

　　"The sun hasn't set yet. When we finish dinner first, and then come back after taking a bath, it is estimated that the lanterns will be lit at that time." Lu Xiudao.

　　It's a pity that Lu Xiu originally wanted Yuan Tiangang to develop colorful fireworks to put on a wave on the night of the Lantern Festival, but his craftsmanship was not enough to make colorful fireworks.

　　So, Lu Xiu asked them to add iron powder, aluminum powder and other three or four kinds of common metal materials that burn with a flame-colored reaction.

　　Although the colors will not be as rich as modern fireworks, they can be considered improvised in the Tang Dynasty.

　　"Well, I have the strength to go out to play after I have had enough to eat. The old man is very hungry. It happens to be the Lantern Festival. What do we want to eat tonight?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

　　"During the Lantern Festival, it's natural to eat the Lantern Festival. Well, let's also have some dumplings, mainly pasta." Lu Xiu thought for a while and said.

　　Most people in the south eat Yuanxiao, while those in the north eat dumplings.

　　"Brother Lu, what is Lantern Festival?" It sounds a bit strange, especially after the name "Yuanxiao".

　　Lu Xiu directly took out the Lantern Festival and said, "Yuanxiao, also called Tangyuan, is a kind of cake. Tangyuan symbolizes a happy family reunion, and eating Tangyuan also means family happiness and reunion in the new year, so it's Lantern Festival. A must-have food for the festival' ~."

　　A large pot of Yuanxiao was steaming in the soup, Xiaoxiao and Qinghe two women fished the Yuanxiao out of the pot and put it in a jasper-like bowl.

　　"It looks like small dough, no wonder husband said it was dessert." Yuyao said.

　　"Let's try it." Lu Xiu prepared the dumplings with two fillings, one was red bean filling, the other was black sesame seeds and pork suet.

　　Yuyao carefully scooped one of them with a spoon, and after blowing the heat gently, she ate it all in one bite, "Hey, it's very soft and sweet."

　　The softness of glutinous rice flour is completely different from the taste of flour.Especially when boiled in water, the taste will be very soft.

　　"Bite it down, the stuffing bursts out from the inside, it's delicious." Li Zhi said.

　　Girls especially love sweets, so they quickly fell in love with the sweetness of glutinous rice balls.

　　"Delicious is delicious. After eating two bowls, I feel a little tired. And after eating only a few bowls of dumplings, I don't feel full." Li Yuan turned his eyes to the dining table.

　　While they were tasting the dumplings, Lu Xiu finished preparing the meal.

　　In addition to dumplings, there are a large pot of dumplings, a large plate of steamed dumplings, and a large plate of fried dumplings.

　　Unexpectedly, there are several other ways to cook dumplings besides cooking.

　　The taste of each kind of dumplings is different, which makes people want to eat a big bowl of each kind.

　　Finally, there is a flat cake in the middle of the table, the size of a unicorn melon, and it is filled with various fillings.

　　Especially when Lu Xiu sprinkled mushroom truffles, cheese and truffles, the fragrance was so fragrant.

　　"What a big biscuits." Li Yuan praised.

　　"Haha, it's not wrong to call it biscuits, but the real name is pizza." Lu Xiu explained.

　　Well, pizza isn't really tasty, but it's good to have it once in a while.

　　Lu Xiu took out his knife and cut the [-]-inch pizza into flat pieces, "Yuyao, come and eat. Although it's not very delicious, I'm here to give you a taste."

　　"¨〃Thank you husband." Yuyao smiled sweetly.

　　Although several people ate several bowls of glutinous rice balls and dumplings, they had a much larger appetite than the average person because they had the fruit ability of the animal system.

　　When they bite into the top of the pizza dough, they are first crispy, and when they chew to the filling, the deliciousness spreads.

　　Because of the cheese, I actually pulled out a little bit, which was fun.

　　"Among the pastry that I have eaten for so many years, it is the most fragrant. In my opinion, none of the biscuits on Chang'an Street can compare to it."

　　The unique and novel taste of pizza makes people fall in love with it immediately after eating it.

　(Li Li's) "It's delicious." Li Zhi took one bite after another, the whole pizza was quickly eaten up, and she took the second sliced ​​pizza before she could finish it.

　　Qinghe and Xiaoxiao didn't speak, they ate their heads madly. It was great to be the husband's concubine.

　　Four or five people finished dividing the fifteen-inch Sagua.

　　Pizza is good for the first time, but after a few days, you will get bored quickly.Of course, Lu Xiu wouldn't eat the same meal for several days in a row.
