The scientific name of sea intestine in later generations is single-ringed stinging beetle, because it looks like a sea cucumber without thorns, so it is also called naked sea cucumber. Sea sausage has high requirements for the growth environment, only in coastal areas such as the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and the nutritional value of sea sausage is not lower than that of sea cucumber, and the meat taste is also extremely delicious, which can be said to be a very precious seafood.

In addition to the nutritional value and edible value, the sea intestine also has another wonderful use, that is, it is ground into powder after drying, this powder has a strong freshness effect, it can be said that the taste is not inferior to the later generations, so the sea intestine is also known as natural monosodium glutamate.

When Zhou Zhong was in later generations, he once tasted the delicacy of sea intestines in a restaurant opened by Shandong people, and also heard some legends about sea intestines, which left a deep impression on him at the moment, but he left it behind afterwards, and even after crossing to the Ming Dynasty, he did not think of the natural MSG of sea intestines, until today Yu Er's liar used sea intestines to fake sea cucumbers, which reminded him of the magic of sea intestines, so when he came back, he locked himself in the house, that is, he ground some sea intestines into powder, and then handed them to Aunt Luo to try, The effect was surprisingly good, and Jinxuan and the others felt that today's meal was even more delicious than before.

After eating, Xie Lingyun immediately pulled Zhou Zhong into the study next to him, and said a little impatiently: "Xianggong, is the kind of sea animal in your mouth the fake sea cucumbers today, that is, the kind of thing called sea intestines?" ”

Zhou Chong had long known that Xie Lingyun would talk to him about this business, so he nodded with a smile at the moment: "Yes, the MSG added to the dish is the customized powder of sea intestines, and sea intestines can not only be used as an ingredient." It can also be used as a condiment. It's a lot like the peppers I grow! ”

Hear your own guess is correct. At that moment, Xie Lingyun also said with a happy face: "Great, if I remember correctly, when Xianggong exposed Yu Er's liar before, he said that sea intestines are mainly abundant in the coastal areas of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and most people don't know the value of sea intestines, and even use it as bait or feed livestock, so in this way, we can treat sea intestines as an exclusive business." Although it may not be possible to keep it secret for too long, at least in two or three years, the business of sea intestines will be monopolized by us, which is a lot of income! ”

When Xie Lingyun said the last few sentences, he couldn't help but have a little regret on his face, if he wanted to make MSG, then they had to buy sea sausage, so that the news that sea sausage is a raw material for MSG would be discovered by others sooner or later, and the price of sea sausage would definitely rise again and again. They can no longer have a monopoly on this hugely lucrative business.

Regarding Xie Lingyun's words, Zhou Chong also nodded regretfully after hearing it: "Not bad." At the beginning, the sea intestine is worthless, but when we use it to make monosodium glutamate, then we must buy it aggressively, in this way, it will definitely attract the attention of some people who are interested, I estimate that it will not take three years at all, I am afraid that it will be discovered in the second year at the latest, and then we want to buy the sea intestine smoothly at a low price It is unlikely! ”

The MSG made by the sea intestine is used as a condiment, Zhou Zhong did not plan to popularize it, after all, the resources of the sea intestine are also limited, so the positioning of the MSG must be those wealthy classes, and the price must be very high, which can also bring him greater benefits, but if others know that the expensive MSG is made of worthless sea intestines, then it will definitely cause others to rob the sea intestines, and it is nothing if the profits are less, but now Zhou Chong is a little worried, in case people in the coastal areas recklessly catch the sea intestines, so will this precious animal be exterminated?

Don't think that Zhou Zhong is unfounded, there are not a few animals that have been destroyed because of human hunting in history, such as tudu birds, passenger pigeons, etc., and even large animals such as manatees and whales have been greatly reduced because of human hunting, so after the emergence of monosodium glutamate, which is a profitable commodity, the sea intestine as a raw material will definitely be regarded as moving gold, and then under the reckless hunting of people, extinction is not impossible.

Considering the above, Zhou Zhong can't help but hesitate a little, although he is not an environmental idea, but there is still an instinctive awe of life, in his opinion, a creature after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, nature has its existence value, absolutely not because of their own selfish interests and take away their right to live.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong also told Xie Lingyun directly about his concerns, but Xie Lingyun also smiled bitterly after hearing it, because she couldn't solve this problem, and even deep down, she felt that Zhou Chong was thinking too much, after all, some things were not something they could control.

However, Zhou Zhong is a character who does not admit defeat, he quickly made a decision, that is, he will definitely earn the money of the sea intestines, but while making money, he must also come up with a way to avoid the extinction of the sea intestines caused by overfishing, and the only way to do this is with the help of the strength of the Ming court, it seems that he has one more thing in the capital this time, that is, to persuade the Zhengde Emperor to do business with him!

Speaking of sea sausage can only be caught in spring, Zhou Chong entered Beijing this time to see Zhengde, it is estimated that it is almost the New Year, as long as the other party can be convinced, it is just right to come and calmly arrange this matter, and Zhou Zhong is not only selling monosodium glutamate in Daming, in addition, he is also ready to sell overseas, with the status and strength of Daming in the world, this unique condiment of Daming will definitely be sought after, and become a luxury on the table of overseas nobles.

After Zhou Chong rested in Weihaiwei for a few days, the Meng commander Shi had already prepared the carriage, so on a sunny morning, Zhou Chong and they finally got on the carriage and set off along the official road to the capital, passing through Dengzhou, Qingzhou, Tianjin and other places along the way, and finally arrived in the capital on this day after nearly a month of trekking.

Since Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, the Ming Dynasty has repaired and strengthened Beijing many times, at this time has formed the palace city, the imperial city, and the outermost city wall, there is an outer city in the city of Beijing in later generations, mainly to prevent the Mongols from looting, but although this outer city has long been built by someone, but when Zhengde reigned, the external demand has not been built, until a few decades later in the Jiajing period, the outer city of Beijing began to be built.

Zhou Chong and their journey, because of the protection of these brocade guards in Wushan, so it was also a smooth journey, and even passed through some towns on the way, and the local officials were also stammering in every way, which saved Zhou Chong a lot of things, at least in terms of accommodation.

In addition, Zhou Zhong also found that the closer to the capital, the denser the towns became, especially after the Tianjin Wei, those small towns can be seen almost everywhere, and it seems that no matter what era, the vicinity of a country's capital is one of the most prosperous areas in the whole country.

When Zhou Zhong and they rushed to the capital, it happened to be noon, and the whole capital was in the most lively time period, among which the Chongwen Gate was also crowded, and the flow of people in and out almost blocked the road in front of the door. Zhou Zhong They had many people and cars, and although there were brocade guards to open the door, they still advanced very slowly, and when they finally entered the city, it was already past lunchtime, and everyone's stomachs were hungry.

Although Zhou Chong's purpose in entering Beijing this time was to ask to see Emperor Zhengde, it took time, so during this time, Zhou Chong planned to live with his father-in-law Wang Lun first, and then Jinxuan could often meet his father. However, it is very unfortunate that Wang Lun's mansion in the capital is in the northeast corner of the capital, which is quite far away from Chongwenmen.

Since there is still such a long way to go, and Zhou Zhong looked at Jinxuan and them, and then looked at those subordinates, and found that everyone was already tired and hungry, so they were no longer in a hurry, it was better to find a place to eat first, and then rest before leaving, Jinxuan was also very supportive of his proposal, although she wanted to see her father immediately.

When Zhou Chong asked Wu Shan to take them to find a large and clean restaurant, Wu Shan and the others were originally from the capital, so they were also very familiar with this place, and immediately took Zhou Zhong to walk forward a short distance, and soon came to the door of a big restaurant called Laifu Lou.

Although the meal has passed, but there are still many guests in the Fu Building, there are many of them, it is impossible to go in all of them, and finally have to let some people with status enter the restaurant to eat, and the rest of the people are sent to eat outside by the restaurant.

Zhou Zhong took Jinxuan and them to the third floor of the Laifu Building, and then chartered a private room to sit down and order, and when the dishes were ready, everyone was hungry and had no strength to be polite, so they let go of their stomachs and ate a lot.

However, just when Zhou Chong was gobbling it up, he suddenly found that Jinxuan beside him didn't move his chopsticks, which made him ask with some worry: "Jinxuan, why don't you eat, are you not feeling well?" ”

Regarding Zhou Chong's concern, Wang Jinxuan smiled faintly and said: "Well, I may be tired these days, I always feel no appetite, and occasionally I vomit, probably because I am too weak and a little uncomfortable to leave my hometown." ”

"Jinxuan, it's not okay to keep eating, why don't I ask someone to find a doctor to check your pulse?" Zhou Zhong said with concern again at this time.

"You don't need to ask for a doctor, if you make the joke last time again, I really don't have the face to see people!" When Jinxuan heard that Zhou was asking for a doctor, she immediately refused.

When they first landed in Weihai, Jinxuan felt unwell, and later left Weihai also had no appetite, and even nausea wanted to vomit, the experienced Aunt Luo guessed that Jinxuan might be pregnant, which made Zhou Zhong and Jinxuan happy, and Bang'er was also clamoring to be an aunt, but after inviting the doctor to see it, people said that Jinxuan was just unaccustomed to the soil and water and physical fatigue, and she was not pregnant at all, and the result made everyone happy.
