Fields of Gold

Chapter 14: Fat sheep

Views:

Originally timid and cowardly, he rose up under the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty. With his superior strategy and great talent, he soon became the leader of the rebel army, and achieved brilliant results on the battlefield. In less than ten years, he overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty.

Later, it took another ten years to quell the war in the country, and drove the surrounding foreigners who were eyeing tigers out of the customs far away, beating them so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up.

Zhu Huaiyong, the ancestor of Ming Dynasty, can be regarded as a rare general in a century, but he is much inferior in governing the country. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many wars, which resulted in "the lack of time for farming, the lack of fields, and famine, and the high price of grain." The people's life was very difficult.

Today's Holy Majesty is the eldest grandson of the Taizu. He was a young genius. When he was twelve or thirteen years old, he led a group of boatmen and set out on an ocean-going ship. He also went to sea in person and brought back crops such as peppers, sweet potatoes and peanuts, and also transported tea, porcelain and silk to the New World to trade with the local aborigines.

The high-yield sweet potatoes have given war-torn citizens enough food to fill their stomachs. People do nothing but survive, food is guaranteed, and society gradually stabilizes.

When he was 20 years old and crowned, Emperor Taizu abdicated and gave up the throne to him, and he lived a leisurely life of traveling around mountains and rivers...

After Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, he carried out a series of reforms, lightened taxation, encouraged agriculture and mulberry, and supported the development of industry and commerce. In just five short years, the country was governed in an orderly manner. Known in history as "The Reign of Sedum"...

Yu Xiaocao is in a mess. Did she travel to a tributary of history, or a fictional world that happened to have the same history

well! Why bother? As soon as it comes, it will be safe, first find a way to solve the problem of food and clothing!

Yu Xiaocao cast her eyes on the handsome young lady Zhou Zixu, maybe this little fat sheep is the first step for her to improve her life.

During the dog days, Young Master Zhou suddenly felt a chill, and the hairs on his arms stood up. I wondered in my heart: the scorching sun is in the sky but there are chills, could it be that I have the disease of wind-cold

"That...Master Zhou, you are in charge of this delicacy restaurant, right? Do you want the abalone?" Yu Xiaocao cut to the chase.

When Zhou Zixu was talking about the ancient times, his eyes had long been pretending to be indifferent, and he looked at the broken earthen pot in her hand several times, and then waited for the right time to speak, and said in a hurry: "If it is a good abalone, we will definitely give it to you at Zhenxiu Restaurant. You have a reasonable price. Can you... show me first?"

The abalones that Yu Hai caught this time were really rare in quality, and they had been nourished with Lingshi water for a whole night, so they seemed to have grown a bit, and they were extraordinarily fresh and juicy.

Zhou Zixu didn't have a deep understanding of seafood, so he invited shopkeeper Jiang and chef Wang. The two praised after watching it. Chef Wang has been cooking seafood for 20 to 30 years. The abalones are as big and fresh as the ones that Wang Bao had the honor to meet five years ago. Almost, fat and abnormal.

"This is only abalone, and the Zhenxiu Restaurant wants it!" Zhou Zixu made a decisive decision, "How much is it, let's make a price!"

From the expressions in the eyes of Shopkeeper Jiang and Chef Wang, Yu Xiaocao already knew that her own abalones are very rare. After thinking about it for a moment, she said, "Nine abalones, one tael each, the price is the same!"

Yu Hang opened his eyes wide and looked at his little sister, one tael for each, that is nine taels of silver. Originally, he thought that as long as he could sell it for two or three taels, he would have reached the peak. Nine taels! Little sister dares to say this! !

Shopkeeper Jiang frowned slightly. It is understandable that the price of abalone remains high in the capital city, or some inland prefectures. After all, rare things are precious! However, in a seaside town like Tanggu where there is no shortage of seafood, the price of one or two fish is indeed rare.

Just when he was about to lower the price, his young boss waved his hand and readily agreed: "Master Jiang, pay!!"

Chef Wang had already impatiently taken away the broken earthen jar and the abalone. For a generation of celebrity chefs, what could be more gratifying than good ingredients

Shopkeeper Jiang didn’t want to say anything more, so he took two ingots of five taels of small ingots, and murmured in his heart: “I don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when I’m not in charge on Wednesday, and I can’t find such a price in Tanggu for one tael of silver each! Alas, Still too young…”

"Treasurer Jiang, we don't have any money to look for..." Yu Hang looked at the silver ingot on the table, swallowed secretly, and dared not reach out to take it.

Zhou Zixu was in a good mood after finishing the dinner, and he said boldly: "No need to look for it! In the future, if your family has good seafood, remember to send it to Zhenxiu Restaurant first! The price is negotiable!!"

Yu Xiaocao smiled so much that her eyes turned into small crescents, she held the two ingots of ingots in her arms happily, and said, "No problem! Our Yu family is a good fisherman. If we have shark fins and sea cucumbers in the future, we must be tight first." Delicacy building!"

"The Yu family? Is it Yu Hai's family from Dongshan Fishing Village?" Shopkeeper Jiang had heard a little bit about Yu Hai's shark hunting rumors. For big restaurants, delicacies from mountains and seas are equally hard to find.

It seems that Third Young Master has a good eye for people. If you can form a good relationship with the Yu family, it will not be a disadvantage.

Yu Hang just woke up from the unbelievable shock, he took a deep breath and let it out lightly. Ten taels of silver! It has been their family's income for several months! !

After finally calming down, he took the shopkeeper Jiang's words and said, "Well, Yu Hai is my father. He got these abalones by sneaking into the reefs. However, treasures in the sea such as abalone and shark's fin are not so important. It's easy to get. Don't listen to my little sister talking nonsense!"

"It's not easy to get, it's not like there's no chance! As long as your sister said, if there are any good seafood, especially rare ones, first think about the delicacies!" Zhou Zixu patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Yu Xiaocao fiddled with two ingots of ingots, smiling brightly like a mountain flower: "That's right! I'll tell dad when I get back. Mr. Wednesday, thank you!"

Zhou Zixu smiled even more heartily when he saw the little girl's appearance of being a financial fan who barely missed a bite.

Suddenly, the little girl raised her head and said solemnly and solemnly to shopkeeper Jiang: "Uncle shopkeeper, can you help me exchange this ingot of silver for broken silver?"

Shopkeeper Jiang thought the little girl was interesting, so he deliberately teased her: "Have you thought about it, if you exchange it for broken silver, will I only give you nine taels?"

This Yu Xiaocao was not entangled, nine taels of silver was the price she set, and the remaining one tael was originally an unplanned income. If you don't change it into broken silver, you will go shopping in the street later. She and Yu Hang, two children in shabby clothes, are holding five taels of silver ingots, and they are pretending to attract thieves!

"Nine taels is nine taels! If it doesn't bother you, it's better to exchange some copper coins!" One tael of silver is enough to buy a lot of polished rice and fine noodles, and Yu Xiaocao gave it up as soon as he said it, which made Yu Hang feel a little helpless.
