fish street dad

Chapter 118

The couple had been bored for several days, and finally it was time to say goodbye.

Although in the long run, Zhucheng's geographical location is more suitable as the center of their temporary base, but the new city, which is closer to the pier, is more important in a strategic sense, and it is their first time to come to this continent. A home, they can't ignore it emotionally.

In the final analysis, there are too few of them, and they are pretty good. At least the children have been taken care of by two fathers, and the three younger ones can often help them. Bai Zheng has also started to learn to manage housework recently. Yes, it relieved Bai Chunsheng of some of the pressure.

"Speaking of younger brothers and sisters, it's time for Bai Kong to come out to practice at this age. Have you discussed with your parents whether to send them to me or follow them to take over the family business?" Wang Kunfeng asked.

"It stands to reason that Erlang has been by his father's side all the time, and he has been influenced by his ears and eyes. He should take over the business of the family. I will ask him tomorrow."

"Don't take it seriously. In my opinion, the fathers are in their prime, and they haven't reached the time when they need an heir. In this case, why don't you let the second brother fight with me? If the country is established in the future, the second brother will have military exploits." , I can give him a knighthood, it’s better than being a knighthood as a foreign relative?" Wang Kunfeng is telling the truth, no matter how beautiful the foreign relative is, after all, there is suspicion of going through the back door, not like the meritorious deeds made by real swords and guns , even if it is a king and a marquis, no one will criticize it if it is said.From this point of view, in fact, he should really thank the emperor. If the emperor hadn't called him to Beijing and personally trained him for a period of time with his own emperor's way, he would not have thought of this.

"In that case, I would like to thank the lord for supporting my family." Bai Chunsheng smiled, and he also knew that what Master Mao said was for the good of their family. The reason for conferring titles as foreign relatives is not as confident as conferring military merits.

However, speaking of establishing a country——

"You are so eager to establish a country and ascend the throne. Could it be that you want to choose a concubine?" The river mussel viciously pinched Lord Cat's ears.Moved is moved, some things, it is better to make it clear in advance.

"Princess, spare me! Where does this king have the guts?"

"Oh? That means you still thought about choosing a concubine?"

"No no~ This king is wrong, I never thought about it! Really! This king swears, whether it is now or in the future, this king will only have you. If you break this oath, I will never eat a fish in my life!"

Tsk!This is really a poisonous oath, for a cat that is anorexic without fish and shrimp.

The mussel spirit let go of his paws in satisfaction, and patted his cat: "Do you know if you are good? If you are not good, there will be no fish to eat."

"My king doesn't like fish, but mussels the most..." On the last night of the husband and wife's parting, the cat master who had a bad intention sent his mussels to the two fathers early, so that he could eat a whole meal with peace of mind. Tasty mussel meat of the night.

"Shut up!" The mussel spirit who was not in the breeding season was still very conservative. Hearing Master Cat's shameless words, he covered Master Cat's mouth with a dark face.

Immediately, he retracted his hand like an electric shock.

The damn cat demon actually licked his palm with his tongue!

"My king's mussels are really delicious..." Master Mao successfully teased, his eyes seemed to have a fire hidden in his eyes. The mussel turned into a piece of grilled river mussel, red from head to toe.

People with too fair skin have this kind of trouble. After being said a few words casually, their ears will turn red instantly to their necks, and they can't even pretend to be fake.

"Oh, my mussels seem to be cooked and ready to eat." Master Mao pretended to exclaim in surprise, rubbed his hands, and looked expectantly at the mussels that seemed to be cooked all over.

"Stop talking ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" His cat must have eaten something strange, right?Why are you saying one sentence after another today with such an outrageous level of shame?It simply overwhelmed him!

Such a teaser, I don't want to be a serious cat in the daytime at all!

Master Cat smiled lightly, swallowed his saliva, and relieved his tight throat a little. After the mosquito net made of twine was closed, the whole space became dark and narrow, and the claustrophobic environment made it easier for people to speed up their blood. Run, especially suitable for doing certain things that require coding.

The clam spirit flinched and hid in the mosquito net, but the cat demon pounced on him, like a bully, forcibly tore off the thin quilt covering him... The clam only had time to exclaim, and then Swallowed in one gulp by the vicious and greedy cat demon!

The next day, the mussel woke up in a rickety ox cart.

This kind of cattle is domesticated by local aborigines from the wild. It is larger than ordinary domestic cattle and has great strength. It needs a specially trained person to control it. However, the couple are not short of money. Naturally, he would not be reluctant to part with this little money, so he simply set up a chariot and horse workshop, which specially raised a group of natives who can domesticate livestock, and was responsible for the use of chariots and horses in the palace and the city lord's palace.This kind of ox cart is more stable than a horse cart, and Bai Chunsheng also plans to set aside a separate cattle farm when the time is right to domesticate these bison. When the official road is built, many such ox carts will be needed as the foundation of the city. used for commuting.

In this time and space, there is no concept of public transportation. People rely on the No. 11 bus to go out on foot, which is very unfavorable to the business communication between cities. Therefore, in order to strengthen the communication between cities, the problem of public transportation must be solved.

"Princess, are you awake? The lord has ordered that you are not allowed to disturb your rest on this journey. Would you like to use some warm water?" The person who waits next to her knows the habit of the princess. No matter what time she wakes up, she must drink half a glass of warm water first. When he woke up, he heard the movement inside the bullock cart, and immediately poured warm water over.

"Bring it in." Bai Chunsheng's voice was still a little hoarse. After being suppressed by the greedy cat demon all night, it's good that he didn't lose his voice. Looking outside the curtain of the car, the familiar environment outside the window reminded him that they were already approaching the periphery of the new city.

He actually fell asleep all the way back!

"Princess, my in-laws have prepared some light bamboo rat meat porridge and cold wild vegetables. Would you like to use some first?"

"Use some!" Bai Chunsheng sighed, even though he became a monster, he still couldn't resist the hunger of foodies. Bamboo rat meat porridge is amazing, and he can't get enough of it.

The porridge made of good japonica rice, when it is almost cooked, cut the tender meat of the bamboo rat abdomen marinated in advance into small pieces, then add a little salt and green onion, the thickness of the rice porridge and the thickness of the bamboo rat It was delicious, Bai Chunsheng ate three bowls in one go, and a small plate of cold wild vegetables with the porridge, which gave some relief to the hungry and flustered stomach.

The bullock cart slowly drove into the tall city wall of the new city, separated by a wall, but inside it was full of bustle and bustle.

The plan to open government-run workshops and recruit workers was launched in the two cities at the same time. The recruitment here has long since ended. Under the arrangement of several left-behind masters, the aboriginals have begun to use locally produced coarse wheat flour to make wheat. Cakes, after mildew and fermentation, these wheat cakes will be made into sweet noodle sauce and salty noodle sauce, and then add different ingredients and seasonings according to different tastes, and finally become the best-selling sauces of various flavors in Shanghai.

It was the first time that the natives knew that those delicious sauces were made from moldy wheat cakes, and the moldy wheat cakes that turned gray-green had such a magical effect. They are all covered with mildewed wheat cakes. The workshops have a great demand for raw materials such as noodle sauces. They do not stop the indigenous people from imitating noodle sauces. Make the best tasting sauce.

The master chefs are also very smart. Everyone has started to make noodle sauce. When the time comes, there will be too much to eat. They will be able to subcontract the production of basic sauce. Every household will be able to make noodle sauce. There is no need to hire additional workers to do this. After all, the most basic noodle sauce cannot be sold at a price. What they use to make money is all kinds of barbecue sauce, braised sauce and soy sauce made with secret recipes. All kinds of barbecue ingredients, that one is the most profitable.

This is the same reason that those who sell mobile phones do not necessarily open their own factories to manufacture mobile phones. The master craftsmen are ambitious and plan to develop the entire aboriginals in the new city into small family workshops for their own workshops.

The aborigines are very grateful for this. Although there is no patent protection law in this time and space, people are willing to share with them the methods they use to make money. The aborigines are grateful, but they are also consciously not using it for profit. I made some at home and used them to stew meat on weekdays, which was cheaper than exchanging prey for sauces.

The workshop doesn't care about this, their target customers are not these natives in the first place, and the natives don't even have any silver, and they exchange their prey, melons and fruits, just because they just need to buy these ingredients, and they can't bring them to the workshop. Bai Chunsheng also thought of this too much profit, coupled with the intention to improve the quality of life of the aborigines, so that these people can integrate into their civilization as soon as possible, so the master chefs in the workshop disclosed the production method of the basic sauce, so that For one thing, when they are short of manpower in the future, they will need a large amount of sauce temporarily, and they can also directly recruit temporary workers from among the natives to help.

As long as the secret recipe is in their hands, the business at sea will not be cut off.

The two fathers of the Bai family are also talents in business. They came all the way from the sea. With the help of the secret sauce, they not only shortened the relationship with the sea monsters along the way, but also took the opportunity to develop a group of new customers. There are not so many gold mines, but what surprised them even more is that there are very rich gemstone deposits on the seabed here. The two fathers of the Bai family can already imagine what kind of sensation they will cause if these gemstone mines are brought back to the mainland where they originally lived.

But now, the couple just ordered people to put these gemstone mines away. When Da Lang becomes the queen in the future, they will also become the most powerful maritime merchants in the new dynasty, and become Da Lang's strongest backing!

The rainy season is over, and the construction of the inner city on the Xincheng side can also start.

During the rainy season, Bai Chunsheng had already drawn the blueprints of the inner city. After communicating with the craftsmen, he revised them repeatedly and finally finalized the draft. The first batch of buildings to start construction were the government offices and palaces in the new city.

Because they act in the name of "opening up the territory for the emperor", therefore, as the princes of the empire, the palace must be in the imperial city. Therefore, before the founding of the country, their residences here can only be It's called another courtyard. Although the natives don't understand it, what if they meet someone who knows how to do it?

The garrison at the pier went out to sea for training (fishing) when they had nothing to do. Bai Chunsheng ordered people to open a salt field by the sea to dry the salt, and then made the fresh fish caught into salted fish, and transported them to Xincheng to distribute to The natives who participated in the construction of the inner city.

Bai Chunsheng was very cunning. At the beginning, he didn't directly ask people to distribute salted fish as a reward. The main reason was that the natives had never eaten salted fish and would not recognize this kind of reward.

He directly asked people to add pickled fish, a new ingredient, to the daily meals of the helpers.

According to the agreement, they recruited the natives to help build the buildings in the inner city. In addition to the remuneration, they would also take care of a meal at noon.Don't even think about japonica rice, but according to Wang Hao's suggestion, the cooks used the local specialty couscous noodles to make full-boiled stewed noodles.

The method is also very simple, first braise the meat and various wild vegetables, add seasonings, leave some soup, then put the noodle slices cut into diamonds, simmer for a while, the noodle slices are cooked, and there are vegetables in one pot The stewed noodles with staple food are ready.

With so many people eating, the amount of meat needed is also very large. It is impossible to have enough prey every day. However, this problem will be solved when the pickled fish arrives at the pier. After washing the pickled fish, soak them in clean water first. Once, remove the slightly heavy salty taste, then cut into pieces, stir-fry with a local super spicy wild pepper, garlic, and small head ginger, and put the fried salted fish aside.

Put the braised noodles stewed with wild vegetables into a bowl, and then put a spoonful of chili fried salted fish on it. Workers like to eat dishes that are relatively easy to eat. This chili fried salted fish quickly became popular on the entire construction site. It's a pity that this kind of salted fish is made of sea fish from the deep sea area. The natives also know that they can't go to the deep sea area with their own skills, and there is no way to go home and imitate it like imitating noodle sauce.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the construction site manager brought them good news: the princess ordered people to make a lot of salted fish at the seaside and send them back. You can also get half thick noodles and half pickled fish.

Almost all the workers choose the payment method of half rough noodles and half salted fish. The rough noodles here are the hard currency in the eyes of the natives. They can be used as currency for exchange or eaten by themselves. It is very practical, but pickled fish It is also a good thing, so a small piece can eat a large bowl of stewed noodles, and it also has a salty taste, and even the salt can be saved. It is expected to become the most competitive hard currency just like thick noodles.

"It's a pity that the human villages by the sea were almost harmed by that damn bird demon. Otherwise, with so many people, they could have built a market town directly by the seaside, maybe it would become the fish street in Qinghe Town." After hearing the reactions of the natives, Bai Chunsheng said regretfully.

"Actually, Dalang, your idea is not unfeasible..." Sitting next to him, Bai Ji explained while picking out dried shrimps for his little grandson, "When I was doing business at sea with your father Jiang, I heard that some The demon is also envious of the life on the shore, and wants to go ashore to settle down. If you are interested, when you go to sea next time, I will ask people to stop by and ask. If you want to go ashore and settle down, please register first. After the Fish Street is built, they have a place to live when they go ashore, so they are naturally reluctant to leave."

"Let them exchange gems for houses at that time!" Jiang Hong smiled, behind the calm and breezy fairy figure, there was a dark profiteer's heart hidden.Gemstones and the like, if you find a suitable local tyrant to sell them, the price difference you can earn is much richer than the previous gold mines. No matter how valuable the gold mines are, the value of gold and silver is innumerable, unlike gems and jade. For those who are destined, it is not a problem to spend a lot of money.

Bai Chunsheng trembled. He finally knew who he had inherited his innate talent for doing business.

No wonder his cat master insisted that Erlang follow him first. If Erlang also inherited Jiang's father's ability to do business, and the household department will be in his hands from now on, no one will be able to steal money from him...

After thinking about it, Bai Chunsheng solemnly explained Wang Kunfeng's thoughts to the two fathers. Jiang Hong and Bai Ji were taken aback when they heard the words, and then they were a little moved. Don't look at Wang Kunfeng's indifferent attitude when he gets along with them on weekdays. , In fact, I am still willing to think about them.

"I don't need him in the family's business for the time being, so let him learn some skills from the lord. There are many capable people around the lord, so let him see and see, lest he be arrogant and not know the heights of heaven and earth!" Bai Ji hummed road.

"Second brother is already very good. He is not good. Brother Kun will not want to take him by his side to teach him personally." Bai Chunsheng didn't know whether to praise Erlang or his cat master, anyway, after hearing this sentence Well, the two fathers of the Bai family didn't say anything, the slight complacency on their faces had already betrayed their pride in their second son.

In this way, within a few days, Bai Kong packed his luggage, and with the expectation of the whole family, he ran to Zhucheng to join Master Mao, and started his hard-working internship career.

Inspired by his two fathers, Bai Chunsheng really wanted to copy the Fish Street in Qinghe Town to this mainland. Firstly, he and Master Mao met on Fish Street, and they had a deep affection for it. Second, the peninsula The coastal waters are actually very rich in aquatic products. If the fish street can be used to gradually guide the local aborigines to get used to seafood in their diet, then it will be able to make up for the shortage of meat caused by the lack of prey on land as the population continues to grow.

Besides, what Dad said is quite right, if those sea monsters can come ashore to settle down, with them leading the way and giving some help, it might not be possible to bring a group of powerful combat forces to his cat master, at least, when it comes to naval battles, The Krakens have absolute strength to beat the landlubbers on the shore.

Just do what you say, it just so happens that my son hasn't gone to the beach for a long time, and the air here is not very good when building a house, so Bai Chunsheng arranged the things at hand, and brought his family and the old neighbors in Yujie with him We went to the beach together.

The first stop was the temporary station where they landed.

The place that used to look like a primitive jungle has completely changed its appearance now. Large areas of pointed stone houses made of local cement and rock shells are combined to form a military camp with clear functional areas. In the middle is a huge training ground and general command platform. , It looks very imposing.

Lu Zhan, the general of the garrison, followed Master Mao all the way out of Fish Street. Naturally, he knew that the princess’s words were more effective than their prince’s. In a market town, when Yujie was rebuilt, Lu Zhan was also a little happy. They are stationed here, and they have no worries about food and clothing. In fact, it is quite boring. If there is a new market town here, the soldiers can also have more entertainment. In terms of locality, going further, when soldiers and soldiers reach the age when it is time to start a family, they will be able to settle their family in a market town after they get married, and they can take care of the family nearby.

"What the princess said is true! We are stationed here, and we often see monsters from the sea come ashore, but this place is desolate. Even if the sea monsters go ashore, they have nowhere to buy their daily necessities. They can only pick some melons and fruits. Go back for a change, if there is a market town here, those sea monsters will definitely be willing to come ashore and settle down." Lu Zhan pointed to a coconut grove south of the barracks.

"Look, princess, although the area is full of coconut trees, the terrain is flat, and there is no flash flood during the rainy season. It is really a good place to settle down."

"That's right. After those coconut trees are cut down, they can still be used as wood for building houses and streets." Bai Chunsheng has been to the seaside in his previous life and knows that coconut trees are also a building material.

"Exactly! Why don't you take a rest in the barracks first, the princess, and wait for the subordinates to accompany the princess to have a look in the morning?"

"Alright! Then there will be General Lao Lu." Bai Chunsheng smiled.

Although Lu Zhan is a military commander, his thoughts are extremely delicate. The meals arranged for them in the evening are all fresh fish and shrimp that everyone loves to eat. He also specially ordered someone to use a small net to net some very small white shrimps for Ju'er. , the lively little shrimps were poured into Ju'er's incubator, and the little mussels were so happy that they devoured them mouthful after mouthful.

This made the two fathers of the Bai family feel distressed: "I said that children should not be separated from the water. You should quickly build that fish street and leave a house for our family. Just live here, you want to expand the territory, even if you are busy with your work, don’t be so tired that you still have to endure hardships with you at a young age, and you can’t even eat fresh shrimps!”

Bai Chunsheng: "..." Hehe, a year ago, he hugged him and told him to be a good son, but in a blink of an eye, after having a grandson, he started to despise him?
