Chapter 36 Inexpensive Salmon
Su Rujin stepped forward to check it out. There was a layer of straw on the ox cart, ice was placed on the grass, and the salmon was chilled on the ice.

Su Rujin took a closer look and smelled the fish. The fish hadn't spoiled yet, so the fishing boats that went out to sea must have kept the seafood properly.

"How much money did you buy it for? How many fish of this kind are there in Haikou?"

"One penny and five catties. This fish weighs 26 catties and cost five pennies."

Su Rujin smiled happily, didn't she make a lot of money now?

"Jiang Wu, go to the shopkeeper to advance the payment of silver taels, and ask for as much fish as there are in Haikou."

Jiang Wu heard the words and immediately said:
"This subordinate will do it."

While commanding the servants in Fengyang Tower to unload the goods, Jiang Gen reported:

"Little master, recently a businessman went to Haikou to inquire about the supply of goods in Fengyang Tower, and even sent someone to Zhuangzi to inquire."

In the past, seafood was not allowed on the dining table, but now seafood is on fire in Fengyang Tower, and even in the whole of Kyoto. How could sensitive businessmen give up this piece of fat.

"Jiang Bo, the system for purchasing seafood is about to change, and it can't be scattered randomly."

In the past, Su Rujin asked the people in the Zhuangzi to buy seafood in the form of bulk collection. Now some people have moved their minds. In the future, seafood will not be as cheap as it is now, and the price of seafood will rise rapidly before March.

"Since someone in Uncle Jiang has moved his mind on seafood, the price of seafood will definitely skyrocket by then, and some people will even take this opportunity to drive up the price of seafood, which will be unfavorable for our Fengyang Tower.

When you go back this time, go find Zhuangtou Uncle Bai and ask him to go to Haikou to sign a few fishing boats that often go out to sea for fishing. From now on, all the seafood supplies for Fengyang Tower will be purchased from their fishing boats. I will write a charter later and you will bring it back to Uncle Bai. "

The seafood market has not yet opened, so she wants to take this opportunity to pre-order the future supply of Fengyang Tower, so as to avoid the skyrocketing price when the goods are not in demand.

The old man Zheng and the three watched Su Rujin's every move. After two days of contact, they found that Miss Su was not as miserable as the outside rumors said.

Miss Su is clearly kind and friendly, she is not at all like the arrogant and domineering dandy they say.

Miss Su is obviously shrewd and capable, capable and sassy, ​​how can she be a fool who they say is incompetent and useless and can only bully others by judging the situation.

Su Rujin had no idea that her image had slowly changed in people's hearts.

Su Rujin asked Zhou Bo, the second shopkeeper of Fengyang Building, to lead Old Man Zheng and three people to install the exhaust fan.

On the way here, Su Rujin had asked the steward to tell the three of them where and how to install the row of fans.

She returned to the small courtyard set aside alone in Fengyang Building and began to write the regulations.

This room, Su Rujin just put down his pen when he heard that the servant came to report.

"My little master, Big Brother Jiang is back, and he brought several big fish in ox carts, as well as quite a few big mangling bugs."

Su Rujin got up and followed the boy towards the backyard of Fengyang Building.

Several people surrounded the backyard, all smiling and carrying big fish into the ice cellar.

Jiang Wu saw Su Rujin, and hurriedly stepped forward to mention a huge mangling bug.

"Little master, when I was going down to the port, I happened to meet another fishing boat returning.

The boatman on the fishing boat was going down to clean up the big mangling insects, one penny each, the subordinate thought that our Fengyang Building sells small mangling insects, the subordinates saw how huge the mangling insects were, so they put them on the fishing boat. I bought all the mangling worms, my little master, you can see that this big mangling worm may be eaten. "

Su Rujin's eyes glowed, this is the big blue dragon.

"Jiang Wu did a good job, reward."

Jiang Wu chuckled, since the little master remodeled Fengyang Tower, he has become a seafood buyer for Fengyang Tower. In addition to the wages given by Fengyang Tower every day, the little master will also reward them from time to time.

Their village was originally richer than other villages. Since the rise of the seafood industry of the little master, the farmers on their village have become rich.

The women from the next village who came to matchmaking almost broke their legs, and they all wanted to marry the girls into their village.

"Thank you, little master, for your kindness."

"Little master, the mangling bug's subordinates took all of them, but this big fish's subordinate only took four ox carts, and Qing Yunxia took over the rest."

Ever since Fengyang Tower brought seafood to the dining table, Qing Yunxia followed suit and brought seafood to the dining table in a few days.

Other restaurants in the capital city followed suit for a while, and then stopped. First of all, they didn’t know how to preserve and transport the seafood, which caused many seafood to stink when they arrived at the restaurants in the inner city.

Second, the food they made with stinky seafood was far from Fengyanglou and Qingyunxia's in terms of freshness and meatiness. Not only did they not make money, but several households also lost their reputations.

The third reason is that many seafood and many ingredients are incompatible. Fengyang Tower has clear regulations on what seafood and ingredients can not be eaten, and what ingredients are clearly marked, for fear that someone may be poisoned by food conflicts.

Su Rujin looked at the salmon and blue dragons in the oxcart with their mouths raised, and immediately ordered the servants to bring a salmon and a few little green dragons to the back kitchen of Fengyang Building.

The chefs looked at each other, and someone asked:

"Little master, is this fish steamed, braised or deep-fried?"

Another person said:
"The last time I saw such a big fish was at the palace banquet five years ago."

"But this fish is so huge, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle it."

"I don't know if this fish is tender when braised in soy sauce."

"I think it's good to fry the fish in pieces. The fat of the big fish is thick and there is no need to add oil. The fish oil is mellow, and it will be delicious."

Everyone gathered around the salmon to discuss it. Some advocated braised it in soy sauce, others suggested making it a spicy boiled fish, and some even said it should be pan-fried.

The huge mangling insects on the side were completely ignored by everyone. In their eyes, the little master of such a big mangling insect must be steamed. According to the little master's habit, put some ginger slices on it to start steaming.

The chefs, along with everyone in Fengyang Tower, called Su Rujin their little master.

Su Rujin put on the unique chef uniform of Fengyang Tower, rolled up her sleeves and said:

"Let me show you something. I saw this fish in the miscellaneous books in my mother's storeroom. It is a sea fish and does not belong to the territory of Daqi."

This fish tastes delicious when eaten raw. "

After Su Rujin finished speaking, everyone said one after another:
"My little ancestral home likes to eat raw fish and shrimp."

"Can fish be eaten raw?"

"Why can't it, Xiao's ancestral home also has raw pickled fish and shrimp, but Xiao has never seen this fish before."

Su Rujin was slightly taken aback, she thought that there is no such thing as salting in this era, the world is full of wonders, it seems that she has given up thinking.

Su Rujin removed the fish skin neatly, and cut the salmon in half according to the texture.

When the orange-red fish meat appeared in front of everyone, it caused another sensation.

"This fish is actually red meat."

"It's really strange. The flesh of our common fish is transparent and white. It's really strange to see a fish with red flesh."

Su Rujin carefully removed the fishbone, cut the salmon into thin and thick slices of the same size, and placed them on the plate.
