The population of 600,000 is too small for such a large island, and it is also far from the expected population of Li Hao to vigorously develop this island. The other island, which has a smaller population, is also in the development period of a heavily migratory population.

Although Li Hao has tried his best to vigorously encourage the people in the south to have more children, and also used various means to attract people to the Central Plains, but if it really wants to develop, I am afraid that it will have to wait for some time, and now it is just to lay the foundation for future development.

"It's time to eat!"

When it was almost dark, the whole sheep feast was prepared. With a greeting, all the people who were wandering around ran back, and then looked at the large tables that had been set up in the courtyard and began to talk.

The people who came to eat here were all people from Li Hao's mansion or Li Hao's side, and no one else was with them, so the atmosphere was similar to their usual time, and there were no rules to require.

The merchants who came to Qiongzhou Island with Li Hao to see it went to find their own place to rest after crossing the sea. When they got here, they didn't need to follow Li Hao for anything they wanted to see, not to mention that Li Hao's itinerary was not just about seeing those big places.

In addition to the shipyard, the salt works, and the big glass workshop. Li Hao has several farms here, and he also has to go over to take a look, relatively speaking, these Li Hao takes it more seriously. Industry and agriculture must be grasped with both hands, and both hands must be firm.

Industry has all kinds of advanced technologies that reward them, and agriculture has not let go of it. After all, Datang is still a big agricultural country, and the people take food as the sky. Only when you have your stomach full can you talk about something else.

Of course, after the development of other things, agriculture cannot be lost. Those high-yield crops and new cultivation and breeding methods, as long as there is a significant improvement in some aspects, Li Hao has never been stingy to give these people all kinds of rewards.

"What my brother-in-law said is true! This mutton is really delicious and fragrant! As soon as it was served, a strong fragrance made everyone swallow their saliva. They ate a lot of mutton, and it was the first time they had seen mutton with such a strong aroma.

Wu Yue couldn't wait to put a piece of mutton in her mouth, and couldn't help but praise after chewing it a few times. Superb cooking skills, coupled with excellent ingredients, made this whole sheep banquet more delicious, and everyone ate without an image, and praised endlessly.

"If this mutton is brought to our restaurant to be sold, the business will definitely be very hot." Grabbing a large piece of mutton and gnawing desperately in his hand, Wu Yue didn't forget to say this.

At this time, Li Hao's students couldn't help but look up at Li Hao, they were particularly interested in whether Li Hao wanted to get a restaurant on Qiongzhou Island, which was generally a common problem for foodies.

"There's more to it than that, we have a few places to go, and there are a few good things there, let's eat them together and have a look." Li Hao smiled after hearing this. In the four major delicacies of Qiongzhou Island in later generations, Dongshan goat is just one of them.

There are also Wenchang chicken and Jiaji duck, as well as Hele crab. It's a pity that Li Hao in later generations has never tasted these things. At that time, I was running into the Internet everywhere to publicize the restaurant slaughter tourists on Qiongzhou Island, and after he passed, he had not tasted much of the famous food here, which was a big pity.

On the other hand, however, the food in the tourist area is actually not satisfying. The fall of credibility, the degradation of morality, and the mentality of looking at money in everything have made people in those places go on a path of self-destruction, and even destroy the classics.

Among the four major delicacies of Qiongzhou Island in later generations, Jiaji duck is not a real traditional species here. Jiaji duck is abundant in Jiaji Town, Qionghai City, and is one of the four famous dishes of Qiongzhou Island.

However, according to legend, Jiaji duck is a good breed of duck introduced by overseas Chinese from Fanbang many years ago, so it is called "Muscovy duck". Its appearance is different from the local grass duck and Peking duck. It has a flat body, a red crown and yellow feet, and black and white feathers.

Because the method of raising Muscovy duck in Jiaji area is different from other places, so its breast is large, the skin is thin, the bone is soft, the meat is tender, the fat is less, the food is fat but not greasy, and the nutritional value is high, so people call the Muscovy duck raised in Jiaji duck Jiaji.

This kind of duck species is not available in Qiongzhou Island now, Li Hao himself changed it from the system, and by the way, he also changed the way of breeding. Then he set up a farm in the town of Jiaji on this side of Qiongzhou Island and added this new species to the breeding ranks.

However, the current production of this thing is not high, and it is only in mass production. Li Hao wanted to push it out as a special delicacy on Qiongzhou Island, and it would take time for this to happen.

Wenchang chicken is a local product here, and Li Hao does not need to spend points to redeem it from the system. This kind of chicken first came from Tianci Village, Tanniu Town, Qiongzhou. This village is full of banyan trees, the seeds are rich in nutrients, and the chickens peck at them, and the physique is excellent.

Wenchang chicken is characterized by a small individual, weighing about 1.5 kilograms, bright coat color, short wings and short feet, round and flat body, thin and smooth skin, and fat meat. In order to expand the scale of this chicken and form mass production, Li Fu also built a farm in Wenchang.

The remaining one is Hele crab, this kind of crab is produced in the sea around Hele Town, Qiongzhou, and is full of meat and fat, which is rare for other crab species. In particular, its fat cream, golden butter is bright, like salted duck egg yolk, fragrant and nutritious.

There are various ways to eat Hele crab, the most common way to eat is steamed, dipped in ginger, garlic and vinegar to make a seasoning, the original taste, the beauty in it, people have an endless aftertaste.

Compared with the inland river crab, Hele crab has two characteristics: first, the grease is almost completely covered on the back cover, and the paste is firm; The inland river crab is soft and lumpy, and the number is obviously less than that of Hele crab. The second is that Hele crab has better meat quality and more quantity than mainland river crab.

Hele crab is a specialty here, but it is a little difficult to breed. For the time being, we can only rely on the sky to eat, just waiting for the water to harvest as much as we want. If the harvest is less, there is no food.

"What's so good to eat here? We're going to eat it all this time! I heard that my brother-in-law will come up with a special delicacy every time he goes to a place, and don't forget this brother-in-law on Qiongzhou Island. We can't go anywhere else, only to eat the food of Qiongzhou Island. ”

"Ugh." Li Hao was stunned for a moment after listening to Wu Yue's words, it seems that it is impossible to avoid getting a restaurant here. My own students thought this way, and now even my sister-in-law thinks about eating delicious food.

"Then let's go to a few farms and find the delicious stuff. Then choose a good place here to build a big restaurant and welcome guests from all over the world. ”

After thinking about it, Li Hao felt that it was inevitable to build a restaurant here. This side will slowly develop in the future, and the number of merchants coming and going is slowly increasing, and if you want to sell the specialties on Qiongzhou Island, you still have to let people taste them before they can be launched.

"Okay, we will also participate in the restaurant this time, my brother-in-law has opened so many restaurants, and none of us are by your side, so we must have a look with my brother-in-law this time." The Wu clan on the side frowned when they saw Wu Yue's appearance, and finally didn't say anything, so they could only look at them helplessly.

Li Hao has opened a lot of restaurants, and the Wu family also knows about it, and it seems that his son-in-law likes to do this kind of thing. Although Wu has not been to other restaurants to taste those delicacies, she is very clear about the craftsmanship of those chefs in Li Mansion, and she has been to eat restaurants in Chang'an, Tanzhou, Luoyang and Guangzhou Mansion, and those special delicacies are indeed very delicious and have their own characteristics.

So she also wants to see what her son-in-law will come up with here. The Dongshan goat she had just eaten was indeed much higher than the other mutton she had eaten before, and now Li Hao said that there were several other delicacies here, which made her a little curious.

Next, Li Hao didn't go to a few workshops to have a look, but took a bunch of people from his house to the farms he built here. Although Li Hao has never been here to see these farms, under the care of Li Hao's students, they are now quite large-scale.

The Li government provided the technology and seeds, then bought a large area of land and hired local people to help with the cultivation and breeding. With professional technical management, the various crops and breeding of these farms are developing very well.

Li Hao took them to eat Wenchang chicken, tasted Jiaji duck, and ate Hele crab. Coupled with some unique delicacies and seafood, the group was delighted.

Wenchang chicken and Jiaji duck are generally cut white, Li Hao according to the types he has eaten in later generations, and added a coconut milk chicken and coconut milk Dongshan goat. The fragrance of coconut milk and the deliciousness of Wenchang chicken and Dongshan goat make everyone feel that they still have a fragrance in their mouths after eating.

After getting these things out, Li Hao picked out a few of his students and asked them to go back to Haikou to prepare for the restaurant first, and after he saw a few workshops, he began to officially open for business.

Li Hao didn't bring all the people with him for the next trip, just the rest of Li Hao's students, plus Wu Yue and Xiao Wu, and the others stayed on the farm. Because the places they go to are all workshop areas, which are relatively complicated and there is nothing to see.

Li Hao first went to the Yinggehai Salt Farm, the largest salt farm in the south, which was the fastest place in the hands of these merchants in the south, and it was also one of the largest industries.

The technology of salt production has long been improved, and the previous pot frying to make salt has also been replaced by Li Hao and their way of drying salt. On the endless beach, the sea is intercepted in a square salt pond.

At high tide, the floodgates are opened and seawater is poured into the salt pans, where they are exposed to the sun and evaporated. Concentrate to about 15 degrees, then open the sluice gate of the salt pan and flow into the brine pond from the ditch. The sediment is precipitated in the pool, and the brine is pumped into the crystallization tank with a manpower pumping truck after clarification.

It continues to evaporate in a saturated state, and soon it can produce sea salt crystals in the white flower field. This method saves time and increases the yield compared to the previous method of boiling salt in a pan.
