Chapter 183: A whimsical idea of raising puffer fish
Everyone didn't know what recipe Zhang Xiaobao could catch when fishing. With seven little guys next to him, their attention turned to the little guys.
Only Wang Juan was wondering how fish could become a recipe. She sat down next to Zhang Xiaobao and asked while watching Zhang Xiaobao fishing: "Fishing recipe? Do you want to make a good fishing rod or bait?"
"If you don't do it, my grandfather is the master, and Grandpa Bi will not be satisfied with this prescription. If you make some money, will you let the court start a business to make fishing rods? If Grandpa Bi's prescription must be beneficial to the country and the people, I will prepare to raise fish."
When Zhang Xiaobao saw the float move, he immediately raised the rod. He didn't catch a fish and took back the hook. The bait on it had been eaten up. He said to Wang Juan when he was loading the bait.
"What is the recipe for raising fish? Didn't you use it long ago? Grandpa Bi can't use this to deceive you." Wang Juan also took a fishing rod and drew it twice, denying Zhang Xiaobao's idea.
With a blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaobao threw it in again, looked at the small fish in the basin next to him and said, "It depends on what fish you raise. I plan to ask Old Man Bi to organize people to raise puffer fish. No matter how many people there are in the Yangtze River, it is easy to catch them. Moreover, transportation is not convenient, so it is easy to raise them elsewhere.
Any place that may be successfully breeded will be given a try. Puffer fish, good things, when the spring is coming next year, we will try it."
"If you don't eat it, I'm afraid of death. Can the current technology work? I have never eaten it before. It's not delicious if it's not poisonous, and it's not afraid to eat it. I suspect that the things used for detoxification are not 100% safe. You are not allowed to eat it. My family members don't eat it either. What should I do if I get poisoned?"
Wang Juan thought Zhang Xiaobao could come up with something good, but he didn't expect that he was going to start with puffer fish. If others raise them all, the more people they eat, the greater the probability of being poisoned. He also ate spring things. It would be better to find a rope to solve it yourself, which is shorter than the time to die of poisoning.
Just as Zhang Xiaobao was about to speak, the float moved again and quickly lifted it up. This time, I caught more than three fish, and there were only three small hooks in total. Two of them were biting the hook, and the other one was caught by the hook when lifted up.
When he took off the hook, Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan: "Who said he had to let others eat it? The locals have never seen much death. I have eaten it before and I also know many short stories about puffer fish. It is said that it was a long time ago, and the locals have never heard of dead people."
"I won't eat it, maybe I won't report it if I die. Unless you can find a way to make the puffer fish not poisonous, I probably have no hope."
Wang Juan was not compromised at all.
Seeing Wang Juan insisting, Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said, "If you don't eat it, don't eat it. Raising puffer fish is not for meat, but for medicine. You can make a lot of medicines. You can tell the medical school about this, let them study it, try the amount, and see what kind of diseases it can be used on. What I know is that it can make narcotic drugs and treat rheumatism.
In fact, many times, puffer fish is delicious because of this poison, very little, and the kind that cannot kill people will affect the human nervous system after eating it. Can you use it on seasonings?
After dilution, it is integrated with the MSG made from kelp. When cooking, you can try it. Use your three dogs for experiments, which will benefit the country and the people. People who raise puffer fish will also make money. Any raised ones will be purchased by Deyi Hospital.
Yes, that's what I plan. It's a long-term plan. I believe there will be a day when there will be success. Many toxic things are not used to treat diseases. For Grandpa Bi, I believe Grandpa Bi will be willing to carry out the plan."
"Why do I think this matter is unstable? You are not allowed to move my dog. You want the dog to find it yourself, but don't feed the dog with poisonous vegetables in front of me."
Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao said it well, Wang Juan always thought that he was too simple. Since he proposed it, then do it. Even if it fails, don’t be afraid. If you don’t take your steps, don’t expect to succeed.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't plan to put forward his ideas. Someone could immediately develop the results. He put down the fishing rod and said, "If the research is done, it will be successful, then his or their names will definitely be left behind in history. Since he doesn't eat pufferfish, then eat mandarin fish. This can't poison people to death."
After having a method, Zhang Xiaobao didn't wait for Old Man Bi and others to come back to ask, and wrote it out and asked people to catch up with him and gave it to the three old men, which was a matter of completing a profit exchange.
"Is this raising puffer fish? I'm very brave." Old man Zhang said after taking the plan written by Zhang Xiaobao.
"I asked his family to come up with a prescription and actually came up with a plan. I really thought about it. But if the medical school really figured out a solution, it would really help many people. If the people raised, they could benefit from it, and medicine could save people. But why do I always think that things are not that simple? Do they have no purpose for themselves?"
Old Man Yao now knows many things about the Zhang family. Any prescriptions made by their family or presented by them are not as ordinary as they seem, and their family will definitely benefit from such prescriptions.
For example, the recipe for growing vegetables in that winter did benefit the people in the north, but their restaurant also had fresh vegetables in winter.
Old Man Bi took the paper and stared at it, as if he wanted to see some other purpose between the lines. As he looked, he said, "If they want to use puffer fish in a restaurant, I don't think they have to support others to raise it. If they ship directly from the Yangtze River, the price would be even higher.
What's more, their family's things are never something that others can guess at. Many times they are confused. When the result comes out, they suddenly realize it. Since they can't think of it, they don't want to see if the place in the north can be raised. Will it be cold to death?
When someone is cultivated and let more people raise it, don’t they say they will buy it all, and then sell it to them. In short, the people will not lose money."
Old Man Bi said this, but in fact he hoped that the medical school could study how to use puffer fish body poisoning, especially written on paper, which may be able to treat joint pain, which is a disease that many people can get.
I didn't pay attention when I was young, but when I got older, I couldn't regret it. This was the case with myself. When it was raining and cloudy, I didn't dare to move my left leg hurt. Fortunately, after meeting Xiaobao and Juanjuan, I drank medicinal wine and soaked again. As long as I pay attention, I won't be afraid of cloudy days and rain.
But there are too many drugs used, especially ginseng, which is not something that ordinary people can afford. If puffer fish can really relieve this disease, ordinary people can also use it, which is cheap. All this depends on Huayuan County Medical College, which represents the highest achievement of the Tang Dynasty medicine.
While the three old men were looking forward, Zhang Xiaobao really made it as soon as he said that he really asked people to look for pufferfish. Even if the season was wrong, he had to look for it. Then he tried whether it could be used on the seasonings. After that, many breeding pufferfish could be made more of such seasonings.
If it fails, just pretend that this thing has never happened before and there will be no big loss.
When the weather got colder, all the food in Shuzhou was well organized, and it was quite good. Although the area was washed away by a large area, crabs and mandarin fish were also sold very well. Especially after eight crabs, many people liked this set of tools. For a time, eating crabs was not only about meat, but also mixed with some elegant thoughts.
Zhang Xiaobao did what he said, in addition to letting merchants come and taste it, the extra crabs were transported out and sold elsewhere, and bought back the grain to replenish the lost rent.
There are also some success in condom farming. The pigs have not grown too big yet. Compared with the usual size of pigs, they have to be raised for several months. The poultry has not laid eggs, which does not affect people's eating.
Anyone who is trapped will kill some of them for money or eat at home. The money you exchange is to repay the loan. If you pay it back in a year, you will wait for it to pay it back again next year.
According to the local people's past practice, they would definitely not be willing to eat by themselves, but since Zhang Zhong and Li Xun arrived in Shuzhou, the people's ideas have also changed when they get benefits.
In the past, I was short of capital, but there was no good idea. Even if I raised a few chickens, I couldn't bear to eat them casually. I stayed for emergency treatment or replaced with a must-have for daily necessities. Now it's different. I have so many, why not eat them? Life will get better and better in the future, so why bother my family?
When autumn passed and winter came, Shuzhou began to transport things to the court. With money and food, they used the fleets of Zhang and Wang families. They were all along the river and went down the canal. When they encountered a frozen place, they changed it to land.
Zhang Zhong wrote the memorial for rent and tax this time and sent it to him. The officials in the court knew what the emperor sent Zhang Zhong to Shuzhou for, but there was a lot of trouble there, and he had no idea about the tax in Shuzhou this year.
But after the memorial was delivered, all the officials had to admire the Zhang family from the bottom of their hearts. The rent and tax deductions this year actually reached 280,000 guan. It has not been calculated that the money given to Li Xun and the copper ore transported to the capital.
Even Li Longji said something really well.
At the same time, I also hated the officials in Shuzhou even more. I didn’t say that there was a copper mine or a marble mine, and I didn’t think about how to help the people live a good life.
All officials stood in the cold wind, but they were thinking about letting their families find ways to find a variety of cold melons next year. The tax paid in Shuzhou this year will account for a considerable amount of cold melons.
Old Man Bi and the other two were also very happy, but they knew that the tax he sent this time was only calculated on the good side, but not how much investment was.
