The mouth of the Yangtze River, because it is a place where the river and the sea intersect, in addition to a large number of freshwater fish unique to the Yangtze River, there are also common saltwater fish in the East China Sea, many of which are more precious.

Compared with the schools of fish encountered on the sea, there is a more unified kind, almost every school of fish is one, and here, there are relatively many of them.

After a night's work, basically, most of the fish have been processed, and some of the fish that are more suitable for selling around, with relatively high prices, have been specially made out for sale along the Yangtze River.

Along the Yangtze River, because of the convenient transportation environment, it is a place with relatively developed commerce and trade, and there are relatively many hotels and restaurants, especially Jiangning, a huge city that was once the capital, with a large population and developed commerce.

Ordinary river fresh, seafood, the quantity is small, generally there is no special for this, Dinghai Navy fish once appeared, it caused a sensation.

It is pickled, there is no need to worry about the short-term spoilage, perhaps, the taste of these fish is not as delicious as fresh fish, but it is rare and expensive, it is still good, and it immediately set off a sales frenzy.

Not only the purchase of catering, but also the common people will choose to buy, cheap is only one aspect, the other aspect, is salt.

Unlike ordinary pickling, salt is expensive, and ordinary fishermen rarely pickle it, and even if it does, it is the lowest amount.

The navy is different, the pursuit of efficiency, and the greatest possible guarantee will not rot and deteriorate, so the input of salt is more, according to 10 catties of fish and half a catty of salt to pickle, in fact, the amount of salt put in is more.

If you pursue efficiency, you will sprinkle it directly with your hands, and on the outside of the fish, or even which scales are, there will be a lot of salt, and this part is not counted.

When it dries up, there are bright crystalline salt grains condensed on the outside, not a lot of them, but a lot of them.

Someone has calculated that a fish of about 5 catties, simply outside the salt grains, is almost half a tael, and for ordinary people, half a tael also means a few pennies.

For ordinary people who can't wait to break a penny into eight and a half to spend, they can't afford to buy expensive big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker, but ordinary grass carp can still be bought, and there are some marine fish, the meat quality is poor, and it is cheaper.

This practice, in fact, harmed the salt policy of the Northern Song Dynasty, after all, these pickled fish contain salt.

However, the Northern Song Dynasty did not collect taxes twice, that is, even if it is private salt, as long as it is not caught at the time of sale, it will not be held accountable for making things, such as various pickled products, as well as pickles and the like.

Ding Haijun's salt is not private salt, but it has not been allowed to be sold in the mainland, but how to say this violation, it must be issued by the center.

As for the center, the biggest boss in the management of the salt tax is the third envoy Ye Qingchen, who himself owes Dinghai a great favor, this kind of edge ball that has gone around several circles is not a large-scale act, of course, it is a blind eye.

Along the Yangtze River, major cities, the result of the final stabilization, Jiangning will consume about 1,000 catties per day, Hangzhou is 800 catties, other major cities, 200 catties to 500 catties, calculated, more than 40 cities, can consume about 10 tons to 18 tons of fish per day.

According to the average wholesale price of 80 Wen, because among the fish, there are expensive and cheap, because it is transported to major cities, all of which are rich cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

For example, the price of large yellow croaker in Jiangning is 130 Wen, which is more expensive than chicken, and the others are also expensive, all of which are more than 100 mosquitoes, and the average wholesale price of 80 Wen is low.

The daily profit is about 2,000 yuan, which is also a good business, and it is close to 60,000 yuan in a month

However, this number, compared with the number of naval fishing, is still too bad, the first time because it is not full, a total of 800 tons were harvested, and later, to return once every two days, slowed down, and finally returned with a full load of about 1400 tons, almost every ship, are overloaded to about 500 tons.

However, the efficiency alone is 700 tons per day.

This efficiency is really not low, consuming less than 20 tons per day, which is really a minority for the whole.

Fortunately, in addition to the simple handling of fish, the fishing port also has a canning factory.

The fish can be cooked by salting, or even simple processing, by steaming, and then with the help of heating, sterilization, but also to drive away the air, forming negative air pressure, and then sealing the lid at this pass, even if it is a simple tin can, it can still be kept fresh for a long time.

Canned food has long appeared in the Dinghai Navy and has been applied to the field of munitions by the Dinghai Navy.

At present, the Privy Council will purchase 500,000 pieces of compressed food and canned food in the Navy every year, these things are not only lighter, a compressed biscuit can provide two liters, or even more of the calories brought by food, but his weight is only about one-tenth of the weight of food, although the canned food is not so much improved, but from live animals to canned food, not only can it be transported in large quantities, but it will also improve the morale of the army.

Always eat grain, and eat food and meat together, these are two completely different concepts, in ancient wars, in order to boost the morale of soldiers, or when attacking to the death, often choose wine and meat, in order to strengthen the hero's courage.

Weight, which is an important factor in logistics transportation, saves ten times the weight, which in itself, can reduce a lot of costs, if it is said that the military rations transported to the northwest have been reduced by ten times, this also represents a lot of cost reduction for the people on the road.

Canned food, which can be stored for a long time, is not much less in weight, but it enriches the grain, both of which are very good things.

It is not difficult to build a cannery, when glass is not used on a large scale, the use of ceramics and tin cans has become an inevitable choice, low-end pottery, high-end tin cans, these things are ready-made, and giant steamers like boilers can also provide them with heating.

Unlike the fish that is urgently treated, after salting, it can be stored for a longer time, and the production pressure of canned food is not too heavy, and it is enough to ensure that 80-100 tons can be processed per day.

Fishing boats are not long-term voyages, at most they are currently fishing for a long time, and after more than 20 days, such high-intensity work cannot be continued, and must be rotated.

At present, there are at least 17 ships in the Dinghai Navy, waiting to be arranged, even if there is a rotation, it is also a priority to replenish which ships, and there are no personnel sent here, so when the time comes, there will be a period of rest, and you can choose to return to the Dinghai Navy, or you can rest on the spot in Chongzhou.

In Chongzhou Port, the fishing port side, the current fishing boats are once again going to the Yangtze River estuary to carry out fishing operations, and five ships of almost 3,000 materials are docked here, and the purpose of its arrival is to load the first batch of canned food.

The canning factory has guaranteed an output of 80-100 tons, although it has only been four or five days, but it has also accumulated a large number of cans, almost five or six hundred tons, these cans, except for a small part, are sold along the Yangtze River, and the rest will be transported to the Dinghai Navy.

Before, Dinghai easily digested 300,000 catties of fish, which was converted into tons, it was only 150 tons, and now, the fishing port here in Chongzhou processes 80-100 tons of canned food almost every day.

5 ships, all of which are Chinese-style sailing ships, this kind of sailing ships, perhaps in terms of speed, are quite different from the sail warships developed by the Dinghai Navy, but his carrying capacity is quite high, and the square bottom of the Chinese-style sailing ship makes it have a large load-bearing capacity, and a ship can at least pull up more than 400 tons of cargo.

5 ships, that is, 2,000 tons, almost took away the fishing port these days, the processing materials have been taken away, these meat, for the Ding Navy is a huge addition, and Zhao Xin for the Ding Navy to formulate, focusing on the development of fishing boats, the method is worthy of affirmation.

In Chongzhou, thousands of miles away, a large amount of meat is about to be put on the ship, which greatly replenishes the meat of the entire Dinghai Navy, and the Dinghai Navy, because of the craze caused by sea fish, is still spreading.

In the past two years, the Navy has accumulated huge spending power, and it can be said unceremoniously that the policy of high salaries in the Navy is not much in demand except for the strong expenses at the beginning.

The people who have come from poverty have not yet had the luxury to enjoy high consumption, and the current Dinghai has not yet reached the point where they can decorate themselves with luxury, in this case, unless it is some rigid needs, otherwise, the money in the hands of the people is more saved.

Zhao Xin also thought of a lot of methods, for the people, just need is often food, clothing, housing and transportation, the development of clothes is continuing, from linen, to cotton, to silk, the combination of different fabrics, Dingjun has appeared part of the brand of ready-to-wear, these largely stimulate consumption, has become a new growth point, but in food, do not do well.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and no matter how strong a chef is, there is no way to do anything that he doesn't have.

The appearance of sea fish has changed the catering of the Dinghai Navy, it turns out that some restaurants are still focusing on local styles, for example, Huainan, Huaibei, Henan and other local characteristics, mostly chicken, beef, sheep and pork.

It's a pity that these are limited, and Zhao Xin has a certain amount of meat intake in order to ensure that the entire population has a certain amount of meat, so with the supply system, everyone is relatively average, even if there is some unplanned meat, it is very small.

Without meat, any dish will become tasteless, and without the main dish, it will not attract the public.

Before, there were fish in the Dinghai Navy, but those were all brought by the people to go to sea in boats, not many, and unstable, now, with the sea trials, these familiar fishing boats, at least, can catch tens of thousands of catties every day.

Most of the fish in this part have entered the market and been bought by the people, but for hotels and restaurants, they have no problem buying dozens or hundreds of catties.

For restaurants, most of the products they buy are high-end, for example, large yellow croaker, such as yellow-lipped fish, and some others are more expensive in themselves, and after processing, the main seafood is the main one.

This has become a feature, the taste of the fish itself, it is relatively delicious, compared to freshwater fish, the bones of marine fish are less, because of long-term activities in the sea, their nutrients are also good, mostly some unsaturated fatty acids, it tastes quite good, after the chef's processing, the taste is very different.

Zhao Xin accidentally found that most of the restaurants on the market have become seafood restaurants, and there are some surprises, seafood, which has almost become the main business card of the seaside in later generations, actually appeared in Dingjun, and he said that he had to push it.

In the sea, you can eat not only fish, but also many other seafood.

Not to mention sea cucumbers, which are very expensive and rare in the ocean, various shellfish, molluscs, crabs, and shrimps form a huge variety that can become the characteristics of seafood shops.

After developing these eating methods simply, Zhao Xin also came up with a killer feature, which was widely promoted in Dingjun.

When fishing, they often bring some seaweed, in the places where the fish are concentrated, most of them are in the places where they eat, many marine fish are fed on various seaweeds, thousands of seaweeds in nature, most of them are inedible, a few can be edible, and the taste is very good.

Zhao Xin can't know a lot, but there is one he does, and that is kelp.

As a seaweed that is often eaten in later generations, it is also a seaweed with a very unique taste, and the recognition of kelp is quite high.

Among the seaweed, there are not many edible ones, but just one kelp is good enough.

Why is it the birthday of Japan and South Korea, most of them will drink kelp soup, because it is very delicious, kelp contains an element, saying the chemical name, everyone may not know, as soon as he says his daily name, everyone will know, monosodium glutamate.

The invention of monosodium glutamate, to a certain extent, has transformed the entire catering industry, and when the taste cannot be proposed, a monosodium glutamate is very extractive.

Seaweed, as a kind of raw material, is used as a raw material for boiling broth, and if you add the two methods of stir-frying and frying, and the use of some vegetable oil, the seafood will definitely be different.

Unexpectedly, it was an accident that the navy brought a class of traditional food, but for Zhao Xin, what he valued more was the habit he cultivated.

The population of the Dinghai Navy is diverse, but those who have lived by the sea for a long time are only a few, and the real majority are still the inland population, and this is what needs to be done in this more delicious way to attract them to change their living habits, and to change the quality of the people must be done slowly, but night blindness must be overcome as soon as possible.

The development of the Dinghai Navy is fast enough, but in Zhao Xin's heart, he still hopes that it can be faster.
