Chapter 272: The Future
"Brother-in-law, are we going to take a sea boat?" Wu Yue and Xiao Wu both knew that Qiongzhou Island was separated from this side by a strait and that they had to cross the sea by boat, so when they saw Li Hao taking them in a carriage and continuing south, they couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Well, you can just take a sea boat. But the sea route is too far, I'm afraid your nephew won't be able to adapt to it. So we first took a carriage to the Leizhou Peninsula, and then took a sea boat from the port over there. ”
From Guangzhou to Qiongzhou Island, you can take a boat to cross the Pearl River and continue to the south, or you can take a land route to the Leizhou Peninsula, and then take a boat across the sea. Because he brought several children, Li Hao chose part of the land route and part of the waterway, so that it was easy to take care of.
There is a cement road from the Leizhou Peninsula to Guangzhou Mansion, and the carriage of Li Mansion has always been the best and most comfortable carriage in Datang, and it is not so hard to take the carriage over, and it has become easier to take care of the children.
A few hostesses of the Li Mansion, plus housekeepers and the like, gathered a long convoy and set off further south. Lao Feng originally wanted to follow the past, but now that he is too old to withstand such a toss, only a few juniors set off with Li Hao.
In addition to these, there are also a few businessmen from Guangzhou Mansion in the south who followed Li Hao to take a look. The salt works and shipyards on Qiongzhou Island have their investments, and they also want to go over there to have a look.
In addition, over the years, all kinds of rare fruits have continued to appear on the side of Qiongzhou Island, which has made many people want to go there to have a look. The weather in Guangzhou is still a bit cold in the first month, but not on Qiongzhou Island, which is also an attractive reason.
"Brother-in-law, can I go swimming in the sea on Qiongzhou Island?" The farther south he went, the weather here obviously felt much warmer than that of Guangzhou Mansion, and Wu Yue looked at Li Hao excitedly.
"What swimming? You have to learn to be subtle as a girl, and you always soak in the water in those clothes with a little bit of fabric, what if you let others see it?"
Before Li Hao could say anything, the Wu family gave his daughter a lecture first. Because of someone's reason, such as women's underwear, and swimsuits are now born in advance.
There are several hot springs by the sea in Guangzhou Mansion, which were occupied by Li Hao in advance. In addition, the climate in the south is good, and the sea water is also very clean, Wu Yue often goes swimming when he stays here, and now he is in good water.
Because Xiao Wu didn't stay here often, he was not as watery as Wu Yue. However, she still prefers to soak in the water, and I heard someone say that girls who swim often have good skin.
Now that I heard that the weather in Qiongzhou is better, Wu Yue, the girl, is thinking about going swimming again, and Comrade Xiao Wu on the side is also moved. In the past two years, these two sisters have become more and more aggressive and curvy.
As soon as Wu saw the plans of these two guys, he immediately couldn't help but speak out. Although Datang is relatively open to women, Wu still can't accept it when he goes swimming in that kind of swimsuit clothes that look a little ashamed, and he doesn't know why he has so many strange things out of his son-in-law's head.
It's a pity that now that her daughter is older, especially after following Li Hao around the north and south, she doesn't care much about her. Comrade Xiao Wu is said to have reached the age of marriage, but unfortunately the Wu family found a few young offspring for her, but they were all vetoed by the girl.
Xiao Wu is now in charge of most of the business in the hands of the Wu family and the Li Mansion, and she can be regarded as a woman of the type of domineering female president. The young offspring introduced by the Wu family are always a little worse in some way, how can this girl look at it?
For these, the Wu family was helpless. Especially since she has been in the south for the past two years, there are not many exchanges between some powerful mansions in Chang'an, and she can't see any outstanding descendants there. And Xiao Wu's aura is too big, and she can't control it.
"My brother-in-law said that swimming is good for your health. And when we went swimming, it was all cleared, who can see it. Wu Yue obviously didn't think much of her mother's words, she still believed Li Hao's words the most.
This made Li Hao on the side couldn't help but be embarrassed, as if he had taken his sisters-in-law crookedly, and it was estimated that his mother-in-law didn't know what to say about herself.
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! You only have your brother-in-law in your mouth. Over the years, your brother-in-law has spoiled you to the sky, and you don't look at it, how many people in this world can compare with your brother-in-law? After listening to Wu Yue's words, the Wu clan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
How good Li Hao is, Wu has been watching it all these years. She didn't deliberately tout Li Hao, but it was really difficult for Datang to find a few young people who were as good as Li Hao.
Although many of the children of the powerful families are also very good, they rely more on the resources of the family to develop. And everything Li Hao has got now is all made by himself empty-handed.
Wu's words made Li Hao more and more embarrassed, he hurriedly got out of this carriage, and used the excuse to go to the back to see what another carriage was, otherwise he would continue to sit here and wait for his mother-in-law to train himself.
The people in the carriage behind were all Li Hao's students, and they generally followed Li Hao for a period of time, and then were arranged by Li Hao to go to various places. These are all students with good performance, and the average student is directly assigned to various industries in the Li Mansion.
"Teacher, a few of us are discussing, after arriving in Qiongzhou this time, will the teacher launch a special dish of Qiongzhou." There are not too many taboos between Li Hao's students and Li Hao, so the atmosphere of chatting is relatively peaceful.
These students didn't know that Li Hao came here because his sister-in-law and mother-in-law were arguing there, and thought that Li Hao was here to chat with them, so they couldn't help but ask Li Hao about it.
"Well, let's take a look at this then, and if we have a chance, I'll get a Qiong-style dish." Li Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing this question, this time he really didn't plan to build a restaurant in Qiongzhou.
The main reason is that the Hainan cuisine of later generations did not impress Li Hao deeply, and there were no special characteristics. He only remembered that most of the dishes here were seafood-based, and many of the dishes could be filled with fruits.
In fact, after more than 2,000 years of development, Hainan cuisine originated from the Central Plains catering, integrated Fujian and Guangdong cuisine, absorbed Li and Miao food habits, and introduced Southeast Asian flavors, forming a young and distinctive local cuisine with promising development in the Chinese culinary kingdom.
Maintaining the original taste of food materials is the traditional feature of Hainan cuisine, but the shadow of other local cuisines can also be found in Hainan cuisine, which is also mixed with the mountain atmosphere of some ethnic minorities such as Li and Miao and the customs of Southeast Asia.
In short, its taste is "mixed" like Hainan's culture - due to its own lack of profound accumulation, the absorption of the essence of foreign culture seems to be very random and chaotic, but it has inadvertently formed its own characteristics.
Hainan Island is located in the tropical climatic conditions, so that it is extremely rich, the local coconut, jackfruit, mango, lychee, pineapple, star fruit, papaya and other hundreds of tropical melons and fruits, as well as a wide variety of wild vegetables.
The so-called "make the best use of things", Hainan dishes often appear in a variety of fruits as auxiliary materials, such as Qiongzhou coconut crab, pineapple chicken, papaya cup, mango juice shrimp and so on. Hainan cuisine is mainly seafood.
"Teacher, what is delicious in Qiongzhou? Or something more distinctive? ”
Under the personal rumors of Li Hao and the foodie teachers at Li Hao's school, almost all of his students carry this style. His students may not be very good at a certain aspect, but there are really not many comparisons in food and food.
The important thing is that these students will not only eat and taste, but also cook. They also have an understanding of farming and breeding, and it can be said that they are the earliest batch of practical talents in Datang who develop theory and practice at the same time.
"There are a lot of delicious things here, and there are also a lot of special things. However, there are some things that you have to see in the past, and you can only draw conclusions after eating them, and I, like you, am here for the first time. Li Hao found a place to lie down and said with a smile.
For his students, Li Hao likes it very much. These students are now the closest people to follow him, and they can talk easily. And a lot of things around Li Hao are developing by his students, so can Li Hao not like these young people?
From the ninth year of Zhenguan to Datang, it has been fifteen years since Zhenguan, and it has been six years. From a dozen apprentices around Li Hao in the first year, to hundreds of students in the second year, and then the number has been increasing.
Now Li Hao's several schools can bring nearly 1,000 students to Li Hao or Datang every year. A small number of these students took the road of the imperial examination, and most of them took the road recommended by Li Hao.
In addition to some things that I want to continue to study more deeply in the school, some of them have entered the industrial work of the Li Mansion, and the treatment is not much better than that of ordinary people in Datang.
Basically, there were no outflow of talents among Li Hao's students, except for the small number of people whose descendants of merchants were sent to Li Hao's schools to study, and they had to go back to inherit their family property after graduation, so naturally they did not need to work in Li Fu.
The longer this number goes by, the more people will be trained. In addition, this side of Lingnan Road is now cultivating young people and teenagers in the way of Li Hao, and in a few years, this side will be the most productive of Li Hao's students.
Compared with the old king who appeared a few hundred years later and promoted the reform of the Great Song Dynasty with his prestige for twenty years, Li Hao has quietly infiltrated the court of the Tang Dynasty. Give him twenty years, and most of the officials in the entire Tang Dynasty will probably be people trained by Li Hao.
This is a very scary number, and it is also the main reason why those so-called Confucians in ancient times became famous. As long as a few disciples achieved good results, as their teachers, the reputation of the Great Confucian naturally spread.
