Chapter 10 Selling Live Fish
"Young master, a good man."
"Young Master, you are our great benefactor!"
Everyone kowtowed and kept shouting.
Only Feng Wu stood there silently without saying a word. The young master was so generous. With one move, two horses were gone.
Is it necessary to walk back to these sixty miles?
Chen Buyi obviously ignored Feng Wu's thoughts, jumped out of the ox cart, and helped everyone up.
Then patiently teach everyone how to use the clay pot.
"Everyone must remember that you should not put too many fish in it. At most twenty, put half of the water, put some water plants in it, and cover the can with lotus leaves.
After walking for a stick of incense, I stopped stirring the water in the canister for a few seconds."
As evening came, piles of mugwort were lit by the lake, which were used to drive away mosquitoes. The fishermen used their unique skills to make various fish to entertain the sun.
However, it is really hard to swallow these foods when you say what you think.
Especially for heavy-tasting dishes like boiled fish and spicy fish, if you eat these boiled fish in water, you can really fade out of your mouth.
Suddenly, a new idea emerged. I went back to study spicy dishes and opened a restaurant in Chang'an. The business would definitely be very good. Yes, that's it.
Chen Buyi became secretly happy. His trip to Qingguang Lake has not been in vain.
Early the next morning, the sky was just bright, and Chen Buyi set out in a ox cart.
The fish in the clay pots were all caught by the fishermen when they woke up in the middle of the night. They were not only big but weighed more than a pound, but also jumped around and were very energetic.
Feng Wu didn't have to run back to Chang'an when he saw that he was much more excited. He sat next to Niu Su and kept asking questions.
Then he got up from time to time and stirred it in the clay pot with wooden sticks for a while.
By the time they arrived at Chang'an City, Chunming Gate had already opened, and merchants were coming and going.
As he walked, Chen Buyi felt a burst of emotion in his heart that Chang'an was indeed the most prosperous international metropolis at that time.
The streets are crowded with people coming and going, and it is very lively.
Some large shops on both sides are filled with a wide range of goods, which is really dazzling and dazzling.
And they had no intention of appreciating these, and the destination of several people was Dongshi.
"The city has 220 goods and wealth, with mansions on all sides, and all the treasures are accumulated..." This is the book's description of Dongshi, and one can imagine how big the largest commercial market in Chang'an City is.
Enter from the north gate of the east city and turn to the west, and you will see the market location for selling fresh fish.
The municipal officials in charge of management arranged a location after investigation.
It has to be said that the Tang Dynasty had very good management of the market, which is understandable why the Silk Road was so prosperous that countless Western Regions merchants were full of yearning for Chang'an.
Chen Buyi and Niu Su moved a clay pot down.
It was placed in the front of the stall.
Live fish, fresh live fish, immediately attracted the attention of many people.
According to historical records, a very famous dish in the Tang Dynasty was sashimi, which was similar to the sashimi we eat now. When making this dish, the fresher the fish, the better.
"Hey, how do you sell this fish?"
In an instant, many servants in charge of buying vegetables in the palace of princes and nobles immediately looked around and surrounded them.
How to sell?
Niu Su was a little helpless. He had never seen such a big battle before.
Chen Buyi stood there with a smile.
"Everyone, take a look, take a look, fresh live fish, just caught this morning."
"Hey, fish sellers, stop shouting, hurry up and talk about how to sell."
A middle-aged man next to him has already gone to catch fish by himself.
"Two cents apiece."
Chen Buyi shouted loudly.
This price scared Niu Su. The fish that was caught on weekdays were sent to the town and only a few fish were exchanged for a penny.
I sent it to Chang'an and my value has increased several times.
But for these high-ranking officials, it is simply not a big deal.
"Give me five."
"If I have ten."
In less than half an hour, the fish were sold out.
After all, eight clay pots and about one hundred and sixty fish were exchanged for three hundred and sixty cents.
This made Niu Su very happy.
He took ten copper plates and left them, and handed the rest to Chen Buyi, "Young Master, take these money first, I will definitely pay back the money for buying a ox cart."
Chen Buyi's face darkened, "I have money. What does it mean to give me this little money? I will come and give it to me when you earn enough money."
Niu Su is not a good person who speaks, his face turns slightly red, but he doesn't know what to say.
"Uncle Niu, bring this money to buy some food and daily necessities, and go back and give everyone some points."
Chen Buyi finally returned to his normal words.
"Young Master, have you, haven't you returned to Qingguang Lake with me?"
Niu Su widened his eyes and finally came back to his taste.
"Uncle Niu, I have something else to do. I won't go back with you first. I'll come to sell you fish tomorrow morning."
Chen Buyi reminded him again.
After seeing Niu Su off, Chen Buyi turned around, looked at Feng Wu, and said with a smile: "Let's go, take you to visit Chang'an City."
Feng Wu, who was cheering and excited, followed Chen Buyi for a while, but finally Young Master Chen turned into a shop selling rouge powder.
Feng Wu behind him shook his head helplessly. The young master has not protected the media yet. Do you need these?
In this rouge shop called Yuerong, there are female relatives coming and going. When they suddenly broke into a young man, many women covered their faces and chuckled.
Chen Buyi was secretly happy in his heart. It was the most open dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. It really made sense. Logically, when he saw strange men, he should cover his face and avoid it, but these people stared at him non-stop.
According to his memory, the cosmetics of the Tang Dynasty had reached a relatively high level, especially powders, and began to be made with chestnut rice as raw materials.
This is a pure natural and non-additive cosmetic product. If it is put in modern times, it will definitely be a hot item.
If you have the opportunity in the future, you must launch a series of cosmetics for women.
From ancient times to the present, the irrefutable truth is that women's money is the best to make.
When the two walked out of the rouge shop, Feng Wu had a few more paper bags in his hand, which contained several pieces of rouge and water powder. This was a gift he brought to his mother.
While walking, Feng Wu muttered quietly. After finally coming to Chang'an, he visited a rouge shop. If he wanted to go back, he would make people laugh.
It seemed that I could see Feng Wu’s thoughts. I didn’t walk far, and Chen Buyi saw a bluestone on the side of the road. I stepped forward and sat there.
"Feng Wu, I am tired, go buy some food."
He took out a piece of silver and handed it to Feng Wu.
Feng Wu quickly took the silver and put it in his pocket carefully.
"Master, what do you want to eat?"
