Lu Lin looked at the account book and said in a good mood: "The dried squid is selling really well!"
Chen Xiaomi nodded, "The price has been raised several times, and the order has not decreased at all, but has increased."
Of course, it is also good to sell more money. The people in the fleet are now hanging out with Lu Lin and earning more money, so that they can give better benefits to their subordinates and make those people even more devoted to the fleet!
"Maybe because the price has increased, so there are more people buying." Lu Lin smiled proudly.
Lu Lin's current squid is mainly sent to Kyoto, which is not far from Yucang County, and the price there is relatively high!
There are too many rich people in Kyoto, pork is only ten yuan a catty, and this dried squid has been sold for more than thirty yuan a catty in Kyoto, and the supply is in short supply.
Lu Lin thought about raising the price a bit more. Lu Lin remembered a joke in his previous life. A piece of clothing was listed for 30 yuan, but no one bought it for a long time. As a result, the next day, the shopkeeper added A "0", the clothes sold out quickly, this cheap thing, in the eyes of many people, it is not a good thing.
This capital only buys expensive ones, there are many fools who don’t buy the right ones!
It is said that there used to be a lot of this fish, and everyone hated this fish very much. However, because this fish has been caught extensively recently, many people think that this fish is more difficult to catch. "Chen Xiaomi said worriedly.
Lu Lin shook his head, thinking: The power of this foodie is infinite! In the past life, no matter what kind of thing, after being targeted by the Chinese people, the price will rise rapidly, and it is not impossible to eat it until it becomes extinct.
However, squid should not be extinct so quickly, how terrible the fishing methods in the previous life were! Here it is much less.
His boat is already a big boat in the eyes of those who are here, but what was it in the previous life!
Lu Lin guessed that the reduction of squid is also a psychological factor to a certain extent. In the past, squid did not sell for money, and everyone was annoyed when they saw this fish. Now that squid is sold for money, everyone sees this fish. It's different.
"Squid can sell so well, it is thanks to Prince Cheng's blessing." Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi nodded, and said: "Xiaomai said that the prince often went to grab a meal, and sometimes he didn't leave after dinner, so he had to be reminded."
Lu Lin: "..." The prince didn't leave after dinner, did he want to have another supper, or he wanted to avoid the two Fujins, or he wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
"It's not easy when the prince is old!" The prince Cheng is generous, and Chen Xiaomi still likes the prince Cheng very much.
Lu Lin also had a very good impression of Prince Cheng.
In Lu Lin's eyes, Lord Cheng is the best food spokesperson! As long as Prince Cheng eats anything, it will soon become popular.
Prince Cheng is a person who likes to be happy alone rather than to be happy with others. When he gets something good, he likes to show it off.
There are a lot of gourmets in Kyoto, and Prince Cheng has a high status among them. In fact, some old gourmets think that Prince Cheng is too vulgar, and they like common people's food. However, they are concerned about the status of the prince. I will not criticize anything in person.
Prince Cheng has successively launched hot pot and roasted whole lamb in Kyoto before... which impressed several old gourmets, and his status among the old gourmets has also improved a lot.
Lu Lin actually likes to give things to Prince Cheng, and Lu Lin thinks that Prince Cheng has a good star effect. You must know that in the previous life, it would cost a lot of money to invite a third-tier celebrity to be an endorsement. Compared with it, the prince is much more generous, as long as he sends some food, and the prince will always give more expensive gifts in return. .
Not long after Lu Lin's two boxes of squid were delivered to the palace, many people from Kyoto came to buy dried squid. In just a few months, Lu Lin has raised the price of dried squid several times. For rich people, that little money is not a problem at all.
Squid is not a good thing in Sha County, but it takes a lot of effort to transport it to Kyoto.
"Did Ji Yunan send you a letter?" Lu Lin asked.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Well, here we come, and Mai also wrote."
Lu Lin twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking: I am afraid that only Chen Xiaomi can understand the letter written by Mai Mai, but it is no wonder, after all, they are brothers
"Wheat is doing well in Kyoto, right?" Lu Lin asked.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "It should be good."
Some noble ladies in Kyoto like to go to banquets, play cards, chess, and go shopping.
The situation of wheat is quite special. I am not interested in these things at all. In Kyoto, wheat is cooking and brewing wine.
Lu Lin's wine-making skills were all passed on to Chen Mai. Mai is also very talented in wine-making. It is said that the prince likes the wine made from wheat very much.
Chen Xiaomi was a little worried, but also said in relief: "He seems to have made a good friend."
Lu Lin asked in surprise, "Good friend?"
Chen Xiaomi nodded, "They are the twin wives of an official, and they seem to have a good family background."
There are relatively few officials in Kyoto who marry double wives as regular wives. However, it is not uncommon. Shuang'er's status is relatively low, and it is difficult for double wives to mix with those officials' women, so they formed a small group.
"It's a good thing if Mai can make friends." Lu Lin said.
Since Ji Yun'an wants to pursue an official career, it is impossible for him to stay with them all day long like Xiaocai, and it's not bad for Mai Mai to have his own social circle.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "He said that the twin wives learned how to cook from him."
The kitchen of Ji Yunan's mansion.
Chen Mai is making a dish of spicy crab with a spoon on it. "Put these, all these in, and stir-fry like this."
"What's this?" Song Yufei asked curiously, looking at the jar in Chen Mai's hand.
Song Yufei is also a little Shuang'er, and there is a small group organized by Shuang'er in Kyoto, in which are the twin wives or concubines of some officials in Kyoto.
Chen Maimai didn't know many people in the capital, and sometimes he was a little bored, because out of curiosity, Chen Maimai had also been to the Shuang'er group twice, and the people inside didn't pay much attention to Chen Maimai.
Chen Mai always felt that he was out of place with those twin wives. The couples with higher status in the twin wives group were both born in a scholarly family, well spoken, and taught by various rules since childhood. Compared with these people, Chen Xiaomai was alone. wild boy.
However, Chen Mai met Song Yufei during the gathering of this group, and the two were quite like-minded.
Song Yufei's family owns a pastry shop and is very good at making pastry.
Chen Mai likes to cook, and Song Yufei can make pastries. Both of them like to eat, so they can chat together very well.
Chen Maimai said proudly, "This is chili sauce. Brother Lin gave it to me. I'll give you a jar."
Song Yufei's eyes lit up, and he said, "Really? Thank you."
The chili sauce made by Lu Lin in Yucang County is very popular with the prince, and Song Yufei has also heard of it.
"I'll bring you Baihua Cake next time." Chen Xiaomai licked his lips and said, "Okay!"
The pastry shop opened by Song Yufei's family is very famous in Kyoto. Chen Mai likes the pastries in the shop very much. However, because the price is too expensive, a small piece of pastry costs hundreds of dollars, and Chen Mai is not very willing to buy it.
In the fisherman's dormitory, several fishermen are busy.
"Zhou An, what's going on!"
Zhou An nodded and said, "It's done." Zhou An picked up a little Shuanger who fell into the water a month ago. After the little Shuanger was rescued, he stayed as a family member of the fleet. Qin Lang arranged for the little Shuang'er to live in a room with several half-grown children.
During this month of getting along, Zhou An and the little Shuang'er also developed feelings for each other, and the two discussed working together to live together.
Zhou An used to have a wife, who was brought back with a considerable dowry. After she got married, the woman felt that life on the boat was too hard, so she secretly took money and ran away.
In the next few years, Zhou An no longer thought about starting a family, and kept his distance from women, until he met this little twin. Zhou An was not too young, so he wanted to get married quickly. What dowry gift do you plan to ask for? The two plan to keep everything simple.
Zhou An was originally alone and lived with a few fishermen, but considering that he was about to start a family, Zhou An felt that this could not continue.
Zhou An told Qin Lang that he wanted an independent dormitory for two people. Qin Lang nodded and agreed. However, he said that if he wanted to buy a dormitory, he would need three taels of silver. Zhou An’s previous payment can also offset part of the , if you want to buy a house, you need two to five hundred dollars.
Zhou An's net worth is not rich, but he still has two to five hundred dollars. When he found Qin Lang just now, he had already paid all the money.
"Brother Qin said, I can choose any room in that newly built dormitory building." A fisherman patted Zhou An on the shoulder and said, "Lao An, I didn't expect you to get married too."
Zhou An smiled honestly and said, "Yes!"
"A'an, what is the origin of that little pair you picked up! Have you figured it out yet?" A fisherman asked.
Zhou An smiled, and said vaguely: "He can't remember clearly." Zhou An lowered his head, he actually knew the identity of the little Shuang'er he picked up, and the little Shuang'er's name was Li Xiao Yu, his parents sold him to an old man to be his concubine when he was thirteen years old. Li Xiaoyu was treated as a servant in the old man's house, and his life was very hard.
The old man died a few days ago, and Li Xiaoyu was kicked out of the house.
Li Xiaoyu, who was kicked out, returned home, and accidentally heard that his parents disliked him for eating at home, thinking about selling him to a tuberculosis ghost for joy.
Li Xiaoyu was very desperate. He never thought that his parents would not be satisfied after selling him once, but they wanted to sell him again. Li Xiaoyu ran away in a turmoil, but was chased to the lake and jumped into the lake.
The news that the Li family's parents forced their son to death spread in the village. The Li family's parents were afraid that the matter would become a big problem, so they reported Li Xiaoyu's death to the government and it was over.
"It's fine if you can't remember clearly, the adults have already helped to resettle, there will be no problem." Zhou An said.
Zhou An took Li Xiaoyu with his belongings and moved into the dormitory.
Although it was only a small room, Zhou An was still very happy, and so was Li Xiaoyu.
Zhou An took Li Xiaoyu to tidy up the room. When fishermen marry their wives, they don't pay much attention to three matchmakers and six hires. Zhou An took Li Xiaoyu to the self-service fish shop for a meal, and the matter was settled.
Li Xiaoyu went to the self-service fish shop and had a full meal. He was very excited. When Li Xiaoyu was at the old man’s house, his wife didn’t like him. many.
Li Xiaoyu didn't expect that there would be such a good place where he could eat whatever he wanted for ten cents, but unfortunately his stomach was not up to par, he was almost full after eating three buns. Thinking of so many delicious things in the self-service shop, Li Xiaoyu wanted to sigh.
Zhou An looked at Li Xiaoyu, smiled, and said, "If you want to eat, I can bring you here next time."
Li Xiaoyu quickly shook his head and said, "No need, it's too wasteful."
Zhou An smiled and said: "It's okay, there are often coupons issued in the fleet, and you can eat for free when you get the coupons." Li Xiaoyu said happily, "The welfare of the fleet is really good.
Zhou An nodded, and said proudly: "Yes! The welfare of the fleet is good, and it seems to be getting better and better. I was the first to join the fleet. It is not easy to join the fleet now. gone."
