Dried oysters played the sign of beauty products, which immediately aroused the curiosity of many people in Kyoto.
Many people do not believe that oysters can beautify the skin, but this does not prevent many people from giving it a try with an attitude of believing that they have something rather than nothing.
Many noble ladies in the capital gather together all day long to do nothing, and what they talk about is all kinds of secret recipes for beauty.
Ji Yun'an asked someone to package and sell the dried oysters sent by Lu Lin.
For a while, oysters quickly spread among the upper class nobles in Kyoto.
It seems that oysters have been "discovered" for their aphrodisiac effect, and the price keeps rising.
Dried oysters packaged in exquisitely shaped wooden boxes cost several taels of silver per box. This is a popular gift in Kyoto.
The oysters salvaged by the fleet were processed and sent to Kyoto continuously.
Next to the fleet dormitory, several female relatives are stepping up the processing of oysters.
"This thing is expensive, be careful." Qin Lang reminded.
"Boss Qin, who can I sell this to?" a fisherman asked
Qin Lang glanced at the fisherman who was interrogating, "You don't care who Chen Ershao sells to. Anyway, the superiors are willing to accept it. If you think the price is right, you can sell it."
Qin Lang thought to himself: This thing seems to be known as a "sacred product for strengthening the body and beautifying", and it is very popular in Beijing.
There are a lot of these things in this place, and they are everywhere, but there are relatively few of them in Kyoto.
But this will have to sell this thing for money, no matter how much it is, it will not be too much.
The fisherman nodded and said, "The purchase price Chen Ershao gave is very kind! You won't lose money, right?"
These oysters are not a particularly precious thing. Recently, the higher-ups bought them, and everyone worked hard to collect them. If the harvest is good, they can buy a dormitory in two months.
For a few months, because the purchase price of dried squid, dried oysters and other things has gone up, everyone's money has been relaxed, and the fishermen are very happy.
Qin Lang smiled and said: "Losing money? You don't have to worry about that. Second Young Master Chen's family has a great fortune. Even if he loses money, he won't take such a small amount of money to heart."
Qin Lang thought to himself: Chen Xiaocai is very shrewd, how could he be at a disadvantage? However, it was different in the ears of the fishermen. Several fishermen secretly thought that as expected, Chen Ershao was doing business at a loss, and Chen Ershao was indeed a good person.
On the coast, several fishermen are mending their nets and repairing their boats.
"Old Zhang, you are getting married too!" said a fisherman.
The fisherman who was called scratched his head in embarrassment. Some time ago, this fisherman found a turtle with a strange shape, and Chen Mai bought it for three taels of silver. After getting the silver, this man bought a turtle. dormitory.
"It's all good benefits from the superiors." Old Zhang said.
"Yes! Master Lu is a good official. It is said that when Master Lu left Sha County, many people sent him off. People in Sha County are very reluctant to part with Master Lu." A fisherman said.
At the beginning of joining the fleet, many people were still worried about the schemers, but they all became loyal supporters of the fleet.
During this period of time, more and more fishermen are getting married. It turns out that everyone thinks that fishermen are poor. Now many people think that the fishermen in the fleet have someone behind them and have a bright future. If there is a dormitory, the housing problem of married people can be solved for the most part.
Although many fishermen originally held the idea of living alone, they still hope to have wives and children to live on the kang.
All kinds of dried seafood in Yucang County have gradually become famous.
Many merchants from other places were moved by the news and came to buy one after another.
Lu Lin looked at dried seafood, which has been very long-lasting recently, and wondered whether to let Chen Xiaocai build a large-scale dried seafood workshop.
With the arrival of more and more foreign merchants, the various seafood restaurants in Yucang County have also become famous.
The merchants who left Yucang County, when asked about Yucang County, had to talk about the various seafood restaurants in Yucang County. When Lu Lin returned to the county government office, he found that the county government office was a bit quiet. Chong Chong, your daddy Xiaomi Woolen cloth
Chong Chong propped his chin, and said: "There is an old man here, Dad Xiaomi, go out with him."
"Grandpa?" Lu Lin asked in confusion.
Chong Chong nodded, and said: "Yes! He is an old man with a big airs, and he seems to have lived in our county government for a while before."
Lu Lin looked at Chong Chong, a little horrified, an old man with a big airs? Could it be Prince Cheng? I didn't hear any wind at all!
"Do you know where your father went?" Lu Lin asked Chong Chong.
Chong Chong said a little depressed: "It seems that I have gone to Yuzhuang, and I want to go too, but Dad Xiaomi refuses to let me stay and wait for you, father."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Okay."
Chong Chong tugged at Lu Lin's sleeves and said, "Father, let's go to Yuzhuang to eat too. Daddy is also true. If you go to eat a big meal by yourself, you don't care about me."
Lu Lin: "..." The cook at home is obviously very good! Chongchong, this guy still likes to go out and start a business so much. "I know, I know, let's go."
Prince Cheng went to the fish restaurant recommended by Chen Xiaomi, and Chen Xiaomi ordered all the signature dishes in the seafood restaurant.
Prince Cheng ate all kinds of seafood and praised repeatedly.
"This is good! This is also good."
Chen Xiaomi served a pot of mixed seafood in a dry pot, various shrimps, crabs, clams, lotus root slices, cauliflower, shiitake mushrooms, onions... After frying a large plate, Chen Xiaomi was a little worried at first. The prince likes it very much. Among a large plate of dishes, he chooses what he likes and eats it with gusto.
"It's so delicious."
The seafood restaurant in Yucang County has become more and more famous recently, and the reputation has even spread to Kyoto. Prince Cheng has long wanted to visit, but it was always impossible for various reasons.
The prince can't come in the capital, so he can only find a few cooks who are good at cooking seafood, and cook some seafood dishes for himself, but the taste is just the same.
During this period of time, there were too many worrying things in the capital, and Prince Cheng finally decided to come to Yucang County for a private visit to Weifu to relax.
The seafood restaurant in Yucang County did not disappoint Prince Cheng, and Prince Cheng thought to himself: The seafood restaurant in Yucang County really deserves its reputation! In contrast, the so-called seafood chefs he found in Kyoto were nothing but vain people.
"I heard that there is a good self-service fish shop in Yucang County. You can eat whatever you want for only ten yuan." Prince Cheng said.
Chen Xiaomi said helplessly: "There is such a family, but the ingredients used in it are relatively cheap."
Prince Cheng nodded, and said: "Of course the ingredients should be cheap, and you can eat whatever you want for only ten cents. It's okay to use cheap ingredients, but won't you be overwhelmed by those with big appetites if you use expensive ones? You are also at a loss for using cheap ingredients."
In Prince Cheng’s view, it’s unimaginable that you can eat whatever you want for as long as ten cents. The market price of ingredients in Kyoto is much more expensive than that in Yucang County. Prince Cheng’s mansion spends a lot of money on ingredients every month. From the Wangfu's point of view, it is a terrible thing to eat ten Wen coins casually.
Chen Xiaomi is not ashamed to say that the profit is quite big, there are many people who can eat, but there are also many people with small appetites. After the reputation of this self-service shop spreads, all kinds of people are willing to try it. Taste. During this period of time, Chen Xiaocai is considering a higher-grade buffet restaurant with higher prices and higher-grade ingredients.
"Well, because Xiaocai has built a fleet, they can catch some unsalable fish every day. Having such a shop can also reduce waste." Chen Xiaomi said.
The fleet was set up by Lu Lin, and now it is Chen Xiaocai who is handling it. Lu Lin is an official, and the county magistrate's matter of setting up the fleet, if he can't handle it well, it will make the higher-ups think too much, so Chen Xiaomi simply put the matter on Xiaocai's head.
Prince Cheng nodded, and said: "So that's the case. I heard that after Lu Lin came, he spent a lot of money to build houses for the fishermen who had no houses to live in. You have a heart!"
Chen Xiaomi smiled and said, "It's just to let these fishermen have a temporary place to stay."
This fisherman is very eager for a house. The dormitory built by Lu Lin has now been sold, and the cost of building the house has long been paid out.
After Prince Cheng came, he didn't live in the county office, but lived in the inn. Prince Cheng was rich and powerful, so he directly booked the entire inn for three months.
The inn chosen by Prince Cheng happened to be opened by Chen Xiaocai just now, because the standard of the inn is relatively high, and the occupancy rate is not too high on weekdays. After three months, Chen Xiaocai suddenly felt that the inn business was very profitable.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant didn't know the identity of Lord Cheng, so he thought it was a rich man who came to the restaurant, and served him respectfully every day.
Prince Cheng eats and drinks in Sha County like a fish in water.
Chen Xiaomi only worked as a guide for the first two days of Prince Cheng's arrival, and after that, he let the prince go by himself.
"Master, you are going here!" Prince Cheng's butler asked him.
Prince Cheng nodded. The self-service fish shop is very famous. Prince Cheng had heard about such a place when he first came here. However, Chen Xiaomi said that because the buffet restaurant is cheap, it uses ingredients that cannot be used on the table. Prince Cheng gave up.
Prince Cheng spent more than ten days in Yucang County, tasted all kinds of dishes, and became interested in the so-called self-service fish shop.
"Master, didn't Young Master Chen say that the materials used here are relatively poor? Why are you doing this?" the housekeeper advised.
The ingredients of the palace are all carefully selected, and the housekeeper feels that the prince is a bit self-deprecating when he enters this kind of shop.
Prince Cheng glanced at the butler displeased, and said: "If you can't go in, just wait outside, I'll go in and have a look,
"But, sir..."
Prince Cheng waved his hands impatiently, and said: "Okay, you can wait outside, I'll go in and have a look, can't you afford ten cents as my master?"
After Prince Cheng entered the store, he handed over ten Wen to the clerk.
The butler stood at the door, neither entering nor retreating.
Prince Cheng is surrounded by large amounts of silver, and the copper coins were recently exchanged.
Prince Cheng originally used to eat ten cents worth of food, so he couldn't eat anything good, but after entering the shop, he realized that there were fish in the shop! Soup! Mantou! There are many kinds of meals.
The environment of Prince Cheng is not bad, the store looks clean, and he tried all kinds of dishes.
At first, Prince Cheng thought that there was nothing good in the ten-cent shop, but after eating it, he found that many of the dishes here were very good, and the soup was also very delicious. Prince Cheng was immediately surprised. He is a bit picky, he can have a lot of delicious food for ten fen in other shops, but his family spends several taels of silver every day, but the food is so-so.
