Old man Wang was so happy when he saw this yellow-lipped fish, he looked around the big fish a few times, and he didn't know where to put it.

The young trader called him as soon as he received the fish, but the demand for yellow-lipped fish gelatin was very small, and it was only used by the female dependents of wealthy families when they had a massive hemorrhage after giving birth, and ordinary people could not afford it.

There are still a few catties of stock left in the store, which is enough to last for a while, and buying this big fish means trapping the working capital in it, and the old man thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not to buy it.

Knowing that he didn't care about the little money, the old man was still polite to Han Xuan, and he was very satisfied with this gift, thinking about what he should give in return, how could he accept the expensive gifts of the juniors when they met for the first time.

After thinking about it, I couldn't think of a suitable return gift, so I was both distressed and excited to ask the store staff to move the table, spread a cloth on the table, and then personally brought the kitchen knife, ready to let my son cut the fish now.

The fisherman who went out to sea in the early hours of this morning caught this fish, and it was still fresh, and the internal organs were taken out earlier, so the possibility of the meat being contaminated was even less.

The most valuable thing about yellow-lipped fish is fish gelatin, but because of the scarcity of this fish, the fish itself is also very valuable, many rich people are willing to pay their wallets to taste the rare delicacy, in this era, a kilogram can be sold for thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and the fish meat alone is worth 200,000 yuan, and Han Xuan's money is not lost......

The internal organs are cut open from the belly of the fish, and the organs connected to the body are cut off with a knife, and the internal organs are pulled out.

Carefully sorting out the fish gelatin, this organ used to assist breathing is very large, and the old man Wang clapped his hands and laughed, saying that the money spent was worth it.

Fish maw, also known as fish maw, fish maw, and bird's nest, shark fin, is one of the "eight treasures", known as "marine ginseng" reputation, but now bloody, does not look beautiful.

A middle-aged man dressed as a chef came over, thought for a long time, and then cut a piece of meat on the lower abdomen of the yellow-lipped fish, about two or three catties, and carried it happily to the kitchen......

This landscape garden building in Central, with a total area of almost 390 square meters, is not a real number of rooms, a large courtyard accounts for two-thirds, there is a small pavilion in the center of the pool, the pond is raised with koi fish, and the rockery is a large piece of volcanic rock.

At that time, the Wang family was poor and white, and the ancestors brought many antiques when they fled, and after selling them, they bought the land on Graham Street, which was still a dilapidated alley.

In the troubled times, gold and prosperous collections, in the turbulent years of war, food was more precious than antiques, which led to the starvation of Han Xuan's grandmother's two uncles.

During the meal, Old Man Wang told about what had happened in his family over the years, and Han Xuan heard that there are now seven branches in Eu Yan Sang's dry goods store in different parts of Xiangjiang, and all of them have been bought.

According to calculations, the family's assets are estimated to be 30 or 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and when the property market is getting hotter, it may be worth more than so much money, and life is good.

"Come on, come on, try the chef's craft at Fulin Hotel.

If it weren't for the fact that Chef Song and I have known each other for decades, he wouldn't have made an excuse to take sick leave and come over to cook for us.

The restaurant has been very famous lately, and the stuff is very expensive, but the taste is really good, especially this shark fin soup, you must try it......"

The old man stood up and helped Han Xuan scoop the bowl, and Han Xuan smiled bitterly and thanked him.

Just now he thought he was a fan, and they all said that there was no killing if there was no business, but he actually didn't want to eat this dish.

To put it bluntly, shark fin is processed from shark fins, and a shark can only make so little, and the shark fin in this large bowl is estimated to use the fins of a whole shark.

But the price of shark fin has always been high, the Wang family is really careful in this dinner, it has been made into a dish, if you don't eat it, I'm sorry for the poor shark, he picked up the spoon and tasted it, smacking his lips, the taste was not as delicious as he imagined.

In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to catch sharks because they did not have the developed fishing tools of today, so the traditional impression that shark fins were precious, but nowadays, it is not so much that people eat shark fins as they are satisfied by eating sharks.

Han Xuan didn't plan to tell Anya what it was, she had already eaten it in her mouth, and looked at other dishes, sea cucumber, abalone, bird's nest, ginseng black chicken soup, etc., even the ancient emperor could not eat these treasures in a single meal.

The Wang family itself is in the dry goods business, and today they all use the best ingredients, and the blood bird's nest produced in Thailand is crystal clear and soft in the mouth after being boiled into a soup.

The big abalone is indeed a rare treasure, and it looks bigger than the one he usually eats.

When he heard Old Man Wang say that the ginseng stewed in chicken soup was forty years old, Han Xuan's heart moved and said to him: "My family's Snow Mountain Ranch also grows ginseng, and the seeds are collected from the Northeast, and the varieties are different from American ginseng.

It's almost that big, and my dad used a ginseng whisker to make tea, and he drank it until he had a nosebleed.

It just so happens that you are in this business, and I will have someone dig up some fresh ginseng and send it to you later. ”

Old man Wang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he saw the ginseng drawn by Han Xuan, and the radish he usually eats is not so big!

He has been in the dry goods business with his father since he was a child, and now he has never seen such a big ginseng a few times after a long time.

Listening to Han Xuan's effect, it seemed that the medicinal effect was very good, and he asked tentatively, "How many of those ginsengs are there, and how many years have they grown?" ”

"Two ...... Two hundred years. ”

Han Xuan was obviously going to talk for two years just now, but now he is talking nonsense with his eyes open, if he tells the old man that his growth period is only two years, maybe he will think about it, this matter is too unbelievable, and then said:

"The whole mountain is full of growth, and when I found it, it was already so big, and if I looked at it, it was definitely not American ginseng.

There were about seven or eight thousand of them, and my father didn't care much, and they were still growing in the ground......"

After the old man heard this, his eyes were about to pop out.

It is very difficult to buy ginseng, and it is necessary to compete with peers, and a century-old ginseng can be regarded as the treasure of the town store, and countless people rush to ask for it, so as not to worry about selling it at a high price.

Thinking that something was wrong with his ears, he was shocked and asked, "How much?" Seven or eight thousand? ”

"Well, no more, no less......"

The idea that Han Xuan was entertaining himself suddenly appeared in his heart, saying that ginseng has a spirit, and there are so many in an area, and the ginseng pickers sometimes spend months and can't find a single good ginseng.

But after thinking about it carefully, he found that he had no reason to lie to himself, and said, "Yes, then send it to me first."

If the condition and efficacy are good, I will sell it for you, and the money from the sale will be given to you, and I don't want any money. ”

Han Xuan shook his head: "How can this be, what grows in the ground has no cost."

You still have to earn what you should earn, my ranch is like a company, and those cowboys also have shares, so you can't cheapen them for nothing. ”

This sentence works very well to fool people, and the old man believes it, but he still doesn't believe that there will really be so much ginseng, so he doesn't talk any further.

When he heard Han Xuan say that there were sea cucumbers in his fishing ground, he also nodded and asked him to send them together, and he would help sell them.

He had already frightened the old man just now, and Han Xuan didn't dare to tell him this time that those sea cucumbers were the size of his forearm......
