Before the construction of the fishery and the release of fish fry, Sun Xiangfu and Yang Shunshui have been to Chang'an many times to inspect the fish market, at present, Chang'an's fresh market is mainly sold in the white scales, grass carp and crucian carp three categories, carp because of the taboo, generally sold in the small stalls in the market, the government will not strictly control, but there is no relatively fixed market price.

The price of white scales is ten wen a catty, which is not much higher than the price of millet seeds, and crucian carp can be sold for more than fifteen wen, which is comparable to grass carp, as for yellow eel and loach, it has been fluctuating between thirty and forty wen before, but with the rumors of nourishing qi and ginseng in the water to Chang'an, the crowd led by Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong and other nobles began to eat yellow eel loach in large quantities, the price actually soared to seventy wen a catty, and it is a seller's market, as long as you have the goods, there will be the housekeepers and servants of the Xungui family to buy them all for you, Chang'an fish is expensive, Let's talk about yellow eels and loaches.

"But how many fish do we need to raise in such a large fishing ground?" Shi Dalang looked at the wide water surface and continued to ask.

"Count it by area! The water in our reservoir is currently six or seven feet deep, one acre can probably raise more than 1,000 catties, the entire reservoir is less than 2,000 acres, and the peak can raise about two million catties, but in that case, we need to supply a lot of fish and grass feed, and we can't load it in the current situation, so according to half, one million catties, about three or four hundred thousand fish fry! ”

Sun Xiangfu gave Shi Dalang a popular science. The water area Sun Xiangfu is calculated according to the square, so it is the number of acres in later generations, he clearly remembers the data of later generations, an acre of fish pond can raise about 1,500 catties, to 2,000 catties, the level of future generations, this fishery can raise more than 3 million catties of fish, but that is the case of very fine feed and efficient aerator, although there is a natural aerator in the mountain stream to supplement oxygen to the fishery, but Sun Xiangfu does not dare to take risks, 300,000 tails, about one million catties after cultivation, in his opinion, it is enough, at least these fish, It is impossible for the villagers to eat it alone.

"How do you enrich the feed for the fish?" Shi Dalang broke the casserole and asked.

"This is what we are going to do next, first of all, we want to build a chicken farm on the left side of Chaishan, chicken manure is a good fish feed, and then we will build a pig farm on the right side of Chaishan, pig manure is also a good fish feed, and then we will mix the crops or bellflower in our field, and the fish grass that we are about to plant on Chaishan, and so on this series of things are all done, our fishery can increase a little bit."

"Chicken farm, pig farm, are they the houses that Uncle Wang and Uncle Ma are building?" Shi Dalang pointed to both sides of Chai Mountain.

"That's right, tomorrow I will send Yang Laohan home, just go to Chang'an to buy some chickens and piglets, in the future, in addition to the farm work in the field, everyone in the village has a fixed job, just like you, every day is responsible for guarding the fishing ground and feeding the fish regularly."

This is how Sun Xiangfu worked among the masses, explaining to everyone what he should do and how to do it, and spent his two months of traveling through time.

The time entered August, the weather turned cooler, Qin Qiong returned to Chang'an a few days ago, and there were only a few servants left in the villa to take care of it, so Sun Xiangfu had not sent fish for a while, and there was not much money left in the account of Happy Village, because in addition to sending fish to Qinfu, he could get two times a day, and Happy Village did not have any income, but more than 150 people, three meals a day, and kept building things designed by Sun Xiangfu, the consumption was huge, among which Sun Xiangfu spent more than a dozen times to add two larger fishing boats, It is used to pull fish cages, so now it is time for him to go to Chang'an to dig the first pot of gold to further improve the lives of the villagers.

The card in Sun Xiangfu's hand is not Wang Fang, but in the bamboo forest of Happy Village, tens of thousands of catties of yellow eel loaches have been hoarded in a month and a half, and at this time, Chang'an fish is expensive!

Jinshuimen, a water gate of Chang'an City leading directly to the canal, ships below 100 stones can directly enter Chang'an City from this gate, there is a wider river surface in the city, which leads directly to the root of the imperial city, but if it is not an official ship, the water gate must pay a city gate tax of ten cents, in addition, the ship can not be close to the waters of the imperial city.

It was not the first time that Sun Xiangfu had come to Chang'an, so after the boat was locked, the two of them, who were familiar with the road, and Sun Dali, who were familiar with the road, carried the burden to the Yiguo Mansion in Jing'anfang, and Yang Shunshui, who received two salaries, was going to go to Dongshi to purchase some living materials and go home, and he had a new task assigned by Sun Xiangfu, that is, to make the ship conceived by Sun Xiangfu.

At the side door of the Qin Mansion, Qin Xiaoliu was overjoyed when he saw that it was Sun Xiangfu and the two of them, and the two of them were now equivalent to food for the servants of the Qin Mansion, and they could definitely satisfy their hunger.

"Little Sixth Brother, I'm tired of spreading the word to Uncle De, I sent some fish to thank Grandpa Guo for taking care of him before."

Two loads of fish, less than 200 catties, although they are sold on the current Chang'an market, they can be worth more than ten yuan, but Sun Xiangfu did not plan to collect money, he knew that if he wanted to live in this feudal society, he needed a human cover, no one covered it, even if you wanted to be a fishmonger, it was not so safe, so first come to Qinfu to explore the way, if Qin Qiong also does business, he doesn't mind Qin Qiong dividing a few percent of the profits.

"What are you going to do when you come, go straight in, go to the kitchen, Aunt Meng is there, you don't know, it's only been a few days since you came back, Aunt Meng is already the number one person in Chang'an City!" Qin Xiaoliu said while leading Sun Xiangfu and a few people to the courtyard.

"How?" Sun Xiangfu was not surprised, but pretended to be surprised.

"It's not your few dishes, you don't know, since Lu Guogong and E Guogong returned to Chang'an to boast about how delicious the food in our house is, many nobles have come to our house to eat these days, even King Qin has been here three times, and he also sent his own chef to our house to learn art, and now, even the major restaurants in Chang'an City have also learned from our house, selling fried eel, braised loach, back to the pot meat and other dishes, the price is expensive to death, but the diners are endless."

Xungui is connected to the family, and the family is in control of all the old business establishments in Chang'an, restaurants, Qinglou, these industries that have been handed down thousands of years ago, their owners, only the family, probably seven sects and five surnames, the new dishes of Qinfu were learned by those nobles, and naturally they will be handed over to the family behind them for profit, but Qin Qiong's reputation for Xiao Mengwei has become more famous recently, because of a chef, she has earned many favors.

"Ouch, Brother Sun is here, no, Master Sun is here."

Far away from the kitchen, Sun Xiangfu heard Aunt Meng's call, and he didn't expect that within a few days, this lady in her thirties wore a golden hairpin on her head.

"If you don't have the title of master, you still call me Brother Sun, or Sun Dalang is more comfortable." Sun Xiangfu replied with a smile, and then unloaded the burden on his shoulders with Sun Dali, and Aunt Meng hurriedly looked into the bucket.

"Ah, such a big yellow eel, each one is not less than half a catty!"

"Well, the big yellow eel of seven or eight taels of water is just steamed for grandpa powder. The loaches are also fat loaches in their early teens or two, and the soup is delicious. ”

"This kind of quality fish can't be bought in Chang'an City now, and I estimate that this yellow eel sells for more than 100 yuan a catty, and some people rush to ask for it."

With a large number of production and put fish cages, its composition is no longer a secret, now not only Xinfeng County, even hundreds of miles away in Jingzhou and other states and counties with more rivers, there are some people imitating fish cages, wanton fishing, sold to Chang'an, with the recent wind of eating fish in the noble circle of Chang'an City, the people of these imitation fish cages have also gained a lot of benefits, but now the weather is getting colder, eel loach loss of appetite, began to enter the hole, Chang'an market fish goods plummeted, basically a price a day.

"It's vulgar to talk about money, these fish are for my grandfather to replenish his body. Also, I heard that you are a hot figure in Chang'an City now! Sun Xiangfu teased.

"There, it's not that you're stained, even Madame said that the Qin Mansion has earned a lot of favors this time! But the eldest lady is not stupid, the dishes you taught me at the beginning, I will pass on the three most difficult to control fried shreds, braised loach and back to the pot meat, and the rest are not passed on, all of them are stored as the ability to press the box! Now even His Majesty wants to eat the chicken among the sheep and the chicken among the eggs, and he has to come to our Qin Mansion. ”

"Uh, this, whatever you want! I said, how can the price of fish in Chang'an City rise so much! ”

The ancients were so lacking in innovation, in Sun Xiangfu's plan, there was a large-scale pig and chicken industry, so he expected all the dishes to spread, but now the chicken farm and pig farm have not yet formed a scale, but there is no hurry.

However, Aunt Meng obviously underestimated the craftsmanship of the cooks in those big families, and the three-course dishes are currently made by at least a dozen restaurant chefs who can be comparable to what she makes, and they are slightly worse than Sun Xiangfu's cooking, and that is because those cooks don't know what is the best and don't know the reason why they don't know to add better ingredients.

was chatting with Aunt Meng in the kitchen, when he saw Qin Fu, the chief manager of the Qin Mansion, and Uncle De hurriedly running over here.

"Brother Sun is here, it just so happens that the master is looking for you to have something, come with me to the front hall to see the master."

"Looking for me? Didn't I have something to do with him? Sun Xiangfu said secretly in his heart, but he also followed Qin Fu and Qin De's footsteps towards the front hall.
