71 Chapter 71
The people in the kitchen were crazy, because of the order of the eldest girl: Whoever can make cheap and delicious seafood that can be stored for a long time will have ten taels of silver!
What is the concept of ten taels of silver, in the capital family, the first-class maid is only one or two silver a month, in Haicheng, the first-class maid can have three thousand wen a month, that is the heart of the master's family, so ten taels of silver is definitely a huge amount of money!
Stimulated by the huge amount of money, all the worthless small fish and shrimp have been wrapped up by the Xia County Mansion, and the people in the kitchen have been studying it, and the fire in the stove has not been extinguished.
"It's not delicious......" As soon as Xia Bilei's words fell, the cook was depressed, and then she had to cheer up and listen to the eldest girl say that it was not delicious, and strive to correct it next time.
"There is too much water in it, it may not be stored for a long time, and it is not spicy enough, and the spicy taste of dogwood is always not refreshing enough." Xia Bilei was a little distressed, the chili seems to be still in South America, where did she go to find Magellan to find the chili pepper.
The cook is depressed, the eldest girl is always dissatisfied with the spicy taste, and the ginger flavor is not right, is it difficult to use pepper? But pepper is precious, and it can't meet the cheap requirements that the big girl said. Why don't you try mixing horseradish with mustard next time?
"Big girl, try the seaweed I made." Sydney came over with a thin roasted seaweed.
"Well, it's time to call it seaweed." Xia Bilei's eyes lit up, and there were eight images of seaweed eaten in modern times, but she didn't know how it tasted.
"Why did you change your name?" Sydney didn't understand.
yes, why change the name?
"Probably to increase the value, seaweed feels a little more advanced than seaweed?" Xia Bilei said uncertainly, I want to know that the price of a dish in my name can't be high, not everyone can be like Shancai to counterattack the rich and handsome.
Sydney, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, oh, it doesn't matter what you call, anyway, it's delicious in your mouth.
"Awesome, the taste is seven points alike, delicious~~" Xia Bilei closed her eyes and felt that the impact of the umami of seaweed mixed with the strong taste of the ocean is absolutely undeniable for many people who like seafood.
"Sydney, try again to see if you can further improve the taste, and test how long the seaweed can last." Xia Bilei smiled and asked people to come over for ten taels of silver to enjoy Sydney.
The cook's eyes were red, envious and jealous, Sydney took the silver and clapped her hands proudly, "Aunt Zhang, Sydney, I've made a fortune, today I have a treat, the people in the kitchen gather, and everyone will brainstorm and think of a few more recipes." ”
Xia Bilei couldn't help but nodded, Sydney has really grown a lot, knowing that she has to give people some soup to drink after eating meat, she is a big girl who is really well taught!
Waving her hand to let Sydney go with the cook, Xia Bilei continued to draw pictures on the paper, and there were seven sets of processes for drying salt, including building a beach, rectifying the beach, and accepting the tide.
Fortunately, she was determined to choose science back then, and she really studied liberal arts, except for memorizing two lines of poetry. Xia Bilei was very happy, it was better to study science, if you want to make explosives, you can make explosives, if you want to make sulfuric acid, you can make sulfuric acid, and astronomy and geography can blow it.
Xia Bilei, who didn't know what she thought about revealing her murderous nature, took the picture in her hand and went to her father and mother with the rest of the seaweed, she was complacent, and now she didn't know how much merit God gave her.
Not surprisingly, the Sun family was sticky to Xia Xianling's side again. Xia Bilei touched her chin, why did her mother let her be the king of children and manage her younger brothers and sisters recently, eighty percent of it was to make time for herself to kiss me and me with my father.
Faced with a big red face by his daughter's knowing gaze, Sun coughed, "Bi Lei, it's always just right, your stepmother sent the silver over." ”
Silver? Xia Bilei's eyes lit up, because she wanted to reward the people in the kitchen for making delicious seafood snacks, all her pocket money was about to fly, she was about to rob Xia Chengze's small treasury, who told him to show off that he had silver, she also hated the rich.
The number on the silver ticket dazzled her eyes, and she was a little dizzy, "Mother, did you say that my stepmother gave me all the profits?" ”
Sun smiled, his eyes flashed with appreciation, "Your stepmother said that she should give absolutely not more, the Qiu family is worthy of being a rich family, this kelp and plush toy business has gone to the capital, King Kang also helped tell the emperor about the use of kelp, and now everyone in the capital knows the use of kelp." A swarm of bees ran to your stepmother's restaurant to order kelp to eat, and your father said that the price of kelp had to be raised. ”
Xia Xianling showed a smile on his face, "We haven't had enough kelp lately, although there are still a lot of kelp in the sea now, but I'm afraid there won't be much kelp left in the long run, Dad plans to let people specialize in kelp, spending so much manpower and material resources, the price of kelp must definitely be raised." Xia County's heart was ticking, it was much safer to make a living by planting kelp than to go out to sea to fish, and he was distressed to see the number of people who died in the sea every year on the report.
"Actually, I think so too." Xia Bilei looked at her father with admiration, the concept of sustainable development, Dad, you are really far-sighted.
"Your two brothers are good." Xia Xianling thought of King Kang, who spared no effort to help publicize, was born in the royal family, but he was so attentive to his daughter...... Of course, sometimes Xia Xianling is also worried about whether his daughter's two righteous brothers have thoughts about their daughters, but when they think of the big bald head that their daughter wore when she first came home, she secretly laughed that she thought too much, she likes bald little girls, how heavy is this taste.
Xia Bilei looked proud, "Of course, we are friends of life and death." Recalling the experience of being abducted, although painful, it was not for nothing, and she got the most precious friendship in the world.
"Bi Lei, what are you going to do with this silver ticket?" The Sun family is a little worried, the girl is still young, it is not a good thing to hold so much silver, the noble daughter of the family is full of silver temperament will lose points.
"Oh, mother, you give me fifty taels of silver, my monthly money is all used as a reward by me, and you can keep the rest as a family, by the way, if there are dividends in the future, you can take it for investment." Xia Bilei felt guilty when she thought of the Sun family's spending all the dowry to find her, these silver tickets were relatively a drop in the bucket.
Sun thought for a while, "Then go buy some shops and good fields, and wait for you to marry as a dowry." ”
Xia Bilei waved her hand indifferently, "Keep it for Bi Ai and Aze, your daughter and my brain are wealth, more valuable than any dowry, the person who marries me can be regarded as earning, how can you still want a dowry with such a big face!" ”
Sun was speechless about his daughter's words, daughter, as soon as people talked about getting married, they blushed, and then stomped their feet and said that they would accompany their father and mother for the rest of their lives, and finally hide their faces shyly, this is the correct way to open a lady's beauty.
Xia Xian Ling thinks so, his Bilei is a treasure, of course he knows about his son going to the beach to play, where to find a good sister who can educate his younger siblings and is still rooted in Miao Hong, no matter who marries his Bilei, the three generations are not worried!
"Bi Lei, what happened when you said that the monthly money was sent down as a reward?" Xia County Ling asked, after Bi Lei came back, the Sun family was distressed to death, the monthly money was doubled, for an eight-year-old child, Xia Bilei was rich.
"Oh." Xia Bilei almost forgot the purpose of her visit, she put the seaweed in front of Sun, "Mother, this is a newly made snack in the kitchen, you can try it." ”
Sun looked at the seaweed that was close to black in color and looked very bad, pinched a piece and tasted it, well, although it was a little salty, but there was an extremely fresh taste in his mouth, of course, it could not be compared with sea fish and shrimp......
Seeing her daughter's expectant look, Xia Xianling also pinched a piece and tasted it.
"This is made by Sydney, I told the kitchen people, who can make cheap and long-lasting snacks, come up with one I will give ten taels of silver." Xia Bilei said proudly, there will be a smart woman under the heavy reward, and in the future, snacks based on seaweed will be sold to the north and south of the river, and the price of this seaweed will have to rise.
"You said you spent ten taels of silver on this snack?" Sun felt that his hands were itchy, and he wanted to put his daughter's face full of pride, but this thing was not so delicious, it was necessary to spend so much silver?
Xia Bilei saw that Sun's face was pale, and quickly hid behind her father, "Dad, tell me about my mother, I don't have any knowledge at all, do you know what the raw materials of this seaweed are?" ”
Xia Xianling, who knew his daughter better than his wife, groaned, "It's seaweed, roasted and dried seaweed with condiments." ”
Xia Bilei said with a smile, "It's still smart dad, mother, you don't think it's uncommon to eat seaweed, because we live by the sea, but how many people who have never seen the sea in their lives want to eat some seafood are dreams, crabs in the capital are expensive, but crabs are not worth anything in Haicheng." I want to sell this seaweed somewhere else, you see it's roasted and dried, it's light and easy to carry, and it can also be used as a snack, and when you put it in the soup, the umami will come......"
Sun's heart was overjoyed, "Girl, you are so smart. "It's a shame that she still feels business-minded, but she was compared to her daughter.
Although he doesn't have much business acumen, Xia County, who is very sensitive to improving people's livelihood, is also overjoyed, "Bi Lei, this taste is good for one-tenth of the people who like it, and you can do big business, well, the price of seaweed can be raised again, and Dad thinks that the life of the people of Haicheng will be countless times better than before in two years at most." ”
"I also asked the kitchen to get some dried fish that can be used as snacks." Xia Bilei tilted her head, "But I don't think the taste is good, let them study it again." Dad, you don't know, the last time I went to the beach, I found a lot of small fish dead on the beach and no one looked at them...... What a waste! I asked the people who were born in Haicheng, and they said that these small dried fish were everywhere at high tide, and they were not worth any money, and no one bothered to pick them up. Also, I heard that every time a fishing boat comes back, jellyfish and shells are also thrown away, it's too wasteful, Haicheng people think it's worthless, but other places are different......"
Xia Xianling's eyes softened, and he couldn't help but touch his daughter's head, "So Bi Lei wants to sell these worthless things to other places as well, so that the people of Haicheng can earn more silver?" Like kelp nori? ”
Xia Bilei nodded, when she came to ancient times, even if she was not struck by lightning, she would try to make everyone's life as good as possible, not only because she wanted to leave traces of her existence, but most importantly, she knew the taste of hunger, there was so much saline-alkali land in Haicheng, there was no food to grow, and many people couldn't eat enough.
Sun wiped his eyes, and couldn't help but hug his daughter, how can her daughter be so good, she understands the hardships of people's livelihood at a young age, her heart is soft and kind, her baby.
"Daddy, look at this reward, and the silver will be paid by Daddy." Xia Xianling smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Bi Lei is relieving her father's worries." "If the living standard of Haicheng people is several times higher than before, he will see who will dare to take credit for his achievements in a few years!
"By the way, there's this, Dad, take a look at the salt drying method I came up with." Xia Bilei took out the drawings in her hand.
"Salt drying method?" Xia Xianling opened the drawings, and after thinking about it, he found that according to the drawings, the method of drying salt was absolutely feasible, not to mention saving manpower and material resources, and the salt output would be countless times more at that time, his face was serious, and the sweat behind him came out, "No, this is definitely not possible!" 166 Reading Network
