Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　"Escape the Earth?" Li Er and the others were stunned.

　　"Your Majesty, it's not like escaping. It can't be used on the soil or on the beach. It can only be used on stones. It can be integrated with stones."

　　Xiahou had a head emerge from the stone and explained.

　　"Xiahou, try to condense all the stones around tens of meters on your body and turn into a giant stone." Lu Xiu ordered.

　　"Yes, national teacher."

　　Xiahou manipulated the surrounding stones as if he had obtained a fresh toy.

　　The ground shook for a while, except where Lu Xiu and the others were standing, all the surrounding rocks "flowed" towards Xiahou.

　　After a while, a stone man more than ten meters tall appeared in front of them.

　　"Okay... such a powerful ability." What surprised Li Er and the others the most was that Xiahou could actually control the stone man to act like a human.

　　For example, its huge palm grabbed a coconut tree and pulled it out easily.

　　But maybe it took too much physical strength to control the giant, and the huge stone man quickly disintegrated, and the stones were scattered all over the place.

　　"National teacher, although I can control a large number of stones to form a huge stone man, it is too laborious to control it. I can't support it for long. If it can be reduced to five or six meters, it should be able to move easily." Xiahou said.

　　"Let's get used to it slowly. I believe you can easily control it in the future. The next step is the ability to extract ore. I want to put the jade in my hand in the stone, and see if I can take it out."

　　The jade pendant in Lu Xiu's hand was replaced by a piece of stone with the fruit of the operation.

　　"what."

　　Xiahou, who can control the stone, can naturally feel it, because jade is also a kind of stone.

　　On the surface of the stone, the jade pendant slowly floated up.

　　"National teacher, your jade pendant." Xiahou respectfully handed it to Lu Xiu.

　　Li Er and the others were shocked by Xiahou's ability.

　　"Very well, the next exploration of the jadeite jade mine will require your abilities. You guys will start tomorrow and find the source of the mine as soon as possible." Lu Xiu said with satisfaction.

　　…………

　　On the beach dozens of miles away from Yangzhou City, there were no people there.

　　But because Fang Xuanling sent people to buy a lot of them, dozens of people in the surrounding villages picked up some common shellfish on the beach with baskets!

　　Such as oysters, oysters, conch and so on.Of course, crabs, Pipi shrimp, etc. are also required, and the purchase price is given for a pound per pound.

　　Although the price is low, the price was high in ancient times.

　　In general, the ancient tenant farmers helped people to farm the fields, and they could only harvest hundreds of catties or thousands of catties of grain a year.

　　Most farmers, except tenant farmers, rely on weaving to make a living, and there is only one way of making a living.

　　What Fang Xuanling didn't expect was the common people he hired. So far, he has collected more than [-] catties of shellfish for him.

　　Because Fang Xuanling was busy with his affairs, he had been nurtured to take charge of all the matters that his son Zhizhi was responsible for.

　　"¨〃Zhi'er, how is the situation." Today, Fang Xuanling happened to have nothing to do, so he came here to observe in person.

　　"Father, although it's not as good as Mingyu Island, the seafood on the beach is quite rich. I think I can pick up about [-] kilograms in one day." Fang Yizhi said happily.

　　"Is it only [-] catties? What about the fishing fleet, how's the harvest?" Fang Xuanling asked.

　　"With the help of the rich shopkeeper, I found a lot of fish, (Li Zhao's) so the twenty boats caught a total of [-] catties."

　　Fang Xuanling took a closer look and could see that there were a lot of various sea fish piled up on the beach.

　　Although the total is only [-] to [-] kilograms, but after all, it has just started, and it is already very good.

　　Fang Xuanling, who knew most of the seafood, found that many of them were sardines with poor meat quality, and the rest were some groupers, mostly shallow sea fish, not very large in size.

　　"Father, I'm afraid that the sardines won't be sold out. I don't think they are very tasty." Fang Yi said straight.

　　"If the common people learn to grill sardines with charcoal, they won't have to worry about not being able to sell them out. When the opening day, let the chef at home cook them on the spot for the common people to learn." Fang Xuanling shook her head and said. .

Chapter 274

　　Compared with freshwater river fish, the number of marine fish is huge.

　　The resources of the ocean have not been exploited and are very rich.

　　When you cast a net at sea, you can catch hundreds of pounds at a time!

　　Except for some that have not grown, there are also three or four hundred catties. In one day, a fleet of more than twenty ships can catch twenty to thirty thousand sea fish.

　　Chang'an is inland, the water resources are not rich, and fish farming in ponds is rare.Most of the fish and shrimp come from the Weishui River that flows through Chang'an.Therefore, fish and shrimp are not cheap, and it costs four or five dollars a pound.

　　You should know that ordinary poultry meat is only four or five dollars a pound.

　　Tens of thousands of catties of sea fish are definitely not enough to eat.

　　Therefore, Fang Xuanling had already bought a storefront on Suzaku Street, and hung up the signboard of the Seafood Building, and sold all kinds of seafood caught from the sea dozens of miles away from Yangzhou City in the form of a store.

　　"Let's take a look and have a look. A pound of conch shells only costs 6 yuan, so you can taste seafood at home."

　　"Fresh big blue crab, full of fat and fat."

　　"Selling fish, the cheapest sardines are only three cents a pound."

　　Two or three guys shouted loudly outside, and the low price of seafood immediately attracted the attention of the people in Chang'an City.

　　"If a catty of fish is only three yuan, it is indeed very cheap. Although it is a little smaller, it is generally cheaper than river fish."

　　"That's also true. In Cuiyunju in Chang'an City, a grilled fish sells for seventeen or eighteen cents. Because its price is too high, I have never been willing to eat it. If you buy it for your home, you won't be able to cook it well."

　　"Cuiyunju's grilled fish is naturally very delicious. I once had the opportunity to eat it once with my friends. I ordered a fish, a mutton skewer, and a grilled chicken. It was really delicious. But if I bought it myself, It may or may not be possible to make it, the chef of Cuiyunju is said to be the way Qin Guogong specially cooks meat from the national teacher."

　　Although there were many people watching and discussing the opening of the Haiwei Building, no one came forward to buy it in a short time.

　　On the contrary, after Qin Qiong found out, he directly sent his subordinates to buy a thousand catties and bring them back to Cuiyunju.

　　Originally, Qin Qiong had to spend a lot of money to buy materials, and the fresh fish caught from the river every day was not enough to sell.

　　But if it only sells roast lamb and several kinds of poultry, the varieties are a little monotonous.

　　Qin Qiong is of course very happy to be able to buy directly now.Supplementing more than a dozen kinds of seafood can add more than a dozen dishes to Cuiyunju.

　　Especially the oysters and conch, roasted with spices such as minced garlic and ginger, they are especially delicious and fragrant.

　　A few dollars a pound of seafood is not expensive, and it is even cheaper to buy it from fishermen.

　　He directly bought a thousand kilograms, and only spent a few ounces, which saved a lot of effort.

　　The weight of more than [-] catties is enough for Cuiyunju to consume for a day.

　　Zuixianlou hot pot (cfae) shop, Yu Chigong also got the news,

　　But unfortunately, most of the seafood is not suitable for hot pot. Only sea cucumbers, some scallops and other seafood are more suitable for hot pot. He also bought more than [-] catties.

　　In the seafood building, looking at the people who were watching, Fang Xuanling understood their thoughts in his heart, and several chefs began to cook seafood in front of the people.

　　The cooking methods of steaming and charcoal grilling learned from Lu Xiu can stimulate the umami of seafood.

　　The smell of seafood filled the air, and the people swallowed their saliva and looked directly at the seafood meal prepared by the chef.

　　After learning about the deliciousness of seafood, everyone around me bought some, whether they had some spare money, or the wealthy at home.If you don't have a lot of money, you can buy a few.For example, a sardine weighs about 3 ounces, and it is only one dollar when converted.

　　[-] catties of seafood were all sold out in one day.

　　A total of 80 pieces were harvested in the store, and Fang Xuanling was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.Although it is necessary to deduct the cost of the store and a large number of labor costs, in one day, there are more than [-] profits!

　　Based on the total cost of more than [-] yuan, all the costs can be recovered in about a month.

　　…………

　　"Xuanling's Seafood Restaurant in Chang'an City has just opened. It is said that the business is very good. He actually thought of selling seafood. It's not just Shubao and the others who will do business." Zhangsun Wuji said.

　　"Hehe, although there is a lot of seafood in Mingyu Island, you can't eat it all. But in Chang'an City, seafood is a very rare ingredient, and few people have eaten it. If the cooking method is proper, the unique and delicious seafood will naturally be enjoyed by the people. their favor." Li Jing smiled.

　　"Yeah. The most important thing is that the seafood that Fang Aiqing sells is cheap enough that ordinary people can afford it." Li Erzan said.

　　The most expensive seafood in the seafood restaurant is currently the big blue crab and sea cucumber, but they are only ten yuan per pound, and the cheapest is only three yuan per pound, which is much cheaper than meat.

　　With seafood, the people of Chang'an City will have a lot more choices in their diet, at least not every meal will only be a fixed meat. .

Chapter 275

　　There are not a few rich people in Chang'an City. They are small traders around. There are more people in Yangzhou City. Everyone has earned a fortune. With spare money on hand, they naturally want to spend.

　　What's more, the fish with a minimum of three yuan per pound is much cheaper than the river fish.Therefore, a mere [-] kilograms is not enough to support the large market share of Chang'an City.

　　Fang Xuanling considered recruiting a cooperative partner, and the two teamed up to occupy all the seafood market in Chang'an City.

　　If you can provide [-] catties of seafood, it can be a big business that can make hundreds of thousands of nets every day.

　　"My son, guess what I bought today."

　　At this time, in Zhang Village, twenty miles east of Chang'an City, Butcher Zhang, who had returned from the market in Chang'an, smiled and shouted to his wife who was weaving.

　　"Dad, is it my favorite maltose?" A child with two cute braids ran out of the house and looked at Butcher Zhang with big eyes.

　　Butcher Zhang was doing the work of slaughtering sheep and dogs in Chang'an City. The hard work was a little hard work, and it was considered to be two or three hundred wages a month.

　　And every time he killed the livestock, he would always secretly bring a little minced meat, or go home with internal organs to make up for his children, wife and children.

　　Therefore, their family can often eat meat.

　　"Haha, let the good girl down, it's not maltose." Butcher Zhang said with a smile.

　　"My child's father, if you have the money, take it back and let me save it. Don't spend it indiscriminately. Our family owes the master three dollars." A twenty-three or four-year-old woman who was weaving cloth raised her head in anger He glanced at his husband.

　　Last month, the family borrowed three pieces from the main family, renovated the thatched hut, and bought more than ten kilograms of sweet potato and corn seeds from relatives in Anping County.

　　It is said that the two kinds of grains can yield one or two thousand catties per mu, so the seeds of twenty catties alone cost about two thousand dollars.

　　"It's fine. Now I can earn twenty dollars a day, and my wife can also make a lot of money weaving at home, so don't worry about not being enough." Butcher Zhang said with a wave of his hand.

　　"Dad, what did you buy?" the little girl asked curiously.

　　"Haha, it is the "sea food" among the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. I can guarantee that you have never eaten it." Butcher Zhang said excitedly.
