Chapter 483: The Poor Can Only Eat Abalone
Zhang Nan nodded, and then moved the chopsticks unceremoniously, after all, Zhang Nan is already hungry now.
But when Zhang Nan put his chopsticks into the basin full of fish and clamped them, Zhang Nan was shocked.
"This is? Abalone? Zhang Nan picked up a piece of meat and said with a shocked face, although there was no shell, but Zhang Nan still recognized this thing as abalone at a glance, although Zhang Nan didn't often eat this thing, but he had seen it, after all, the appearance of abalone was quite peculiar.
"My lord, is there anything wrong with this thing?" Liu San saw that Zhang Nan didn't keep his mouth shut for a long time, and thought that the thing Zhang Nan picked up was not appetizing.
Zhang Nan shook his head, and then asked, "This, do you often eat this thing?" ”
Although Liu San couldn't figure out why Zhang Nan asked this, he still nodded truthfully.
"This thing is not worth much, there are many stones on the seaside, we generally don't catch this thing, after all, the meat is so little, and you may not be able to eat enough if you eat a pot, so no one wants to catch fisher, these are still caught by my doll when he has nothing to play during the day."
Liu San said with a smile.
After Zhang Nan heard this, he didn't know what to say.
Abalone is one of the precious "sea treasures", delicious and nutritious, known as the "soft gold" of the ocean, as a precious marine edible shellfish, known as "table gold, the crown of sea treasures".
Just by looking at the whole review, you know that the price of abalone is definitely not cheaper.
Although there were artificially farmed abalone in later generations, it was far inferior to natural abalone in terms of size and taste. Therefore, the abalone cultivated in the restaurants of later generations is actually not expensive. And it's all small abalone, and it's not worth a few bucks.
Therefore, it can be regarded as a food that can be consumed by the public.
But if it's natural and has a relatively small number of abalone, it's really not something that ordinary people can eat.
You must know that there is a saying in the food industry that it is difficult to buy double-headed abalone, which shows that double-headed abalone is scarce and expensive, but now in the basin in front of Zhang Nan, although it is not a double-headed abalone, it is at least a four-headed abalone.
A few abalone refers to a pound of abalone, while a double abalone means that two abalone are a catty. This belongs to the existence of a price and no market, and Zhang Nan, a person from later generations, has not even seen a picture.
Zhang Nan held the abalone and sighed infinitely in his heart.
"Is this the legendary poor who can only eat abalone?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Nan stuffed the abalone into his mouth without hesitation and ate it, and when he saw Zhang Nan move the chopsticks, the rest of the people also relaxed and began to eat and drink.
It has to be said that there is a reason why abalone is expensive. The meat is tender and the delicious juice is wanton in the mouth, which has to be said to be a treat.
Zhang Nan asked while eating, "This thing is so delicious, haven't you thought about selling this thing further away?" After all, I don't think many people have even seen this thing. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Nan picked up another piece of four-headed abalone and put it in his mouth and chewed it, in fact, there were only a dozen abalone in a few pots, but everyone saw that Zhang Nan liked to eat it, and they didn't go to grab it with Zhang Nan.
But Zhang Nan will not be polite, this will be put in the future generations, where are more than a dozen four-headed abalones, this is a small stack of banknotes.
"This thing is too common, not to mention this Qiongzhou City, as long as the place near the sea, there are basically them, who wants to sell this thing, if you want to eat it, wouldn't it be nice to catch a few by yourself."
Wang Lun took a piece of fish meat and said with a smile.
"That's right, Lord Zhang, you are a noble person from Chang'an, you don't know how common this thing is in our place, just like a crop in the field, there are lying on every stone on the seashore I don't know how many of these things. No one will buy it at all, you say that you will sell this thing farther away, but if this thing is not let go, go a little farther, and die on the road, then it will not sell a single one. Liu San said with a smile.
After Zhang Nan heard this, he suddenly thought of an idea to make a fortune, collect a large number of abalone here and send it back to Chang'an City to sell, these fishermen don't know how to keep this thing fresh, but Zhang Nan knows, get a few freezers can do it. When the time comes, put it on your own big terrible knight fifteen, which is a windfall to pull back to Chang'an City.
Zhang Nan couldn't help but think.
Thinking of this, Zhang Nan spoke: "Lord Wang, now I want to give the people of Qiongzhou City a chance to get rich, I don't know if Lord Wang is willing to listen?" ”
As soon as Wang Lun heard that there was a chance to make a fortune, he arched his hand and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Although Wang Lun is a Qing official, Zhang Nan also said that it is a chance for the people of Qiongzhou City to make a fortune, and Wang Lun still has to listen, after all, Wang Lun does not love money, but he also wants political achievements.
And let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the money bags are bulging, that is his political achievement, and it is also what he wants, so Wang Lun did not refuse Zhang Nan's proposal.
"I'm paying now, asking the people of Qiongzhou to catch this thing for me, the more the better, the bigger the better, the price, depending on the size, but I'll pay the bottom, one stone of this abalone, no matter how small, as long as it's enough for one stone, I will give him consistent money." Zhang Nan said.
"Much, how much? Consistent money? Wang Lun was shocked, consistent money, you must know that most of the people in Qiongzhou, many of them have not been able to earn consistent money for several years.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, because of Comrade Li Er's ruling policy and the integrity of officialdom, the prices in the early Tang Dynasty were not high, so take the rice that the people were most concerned about as an example.
A bucket of rice only costs five cents. There's nothing wrong with that, it only costs five cents. A bucket of rice is about six kilograms, and the usual money may buy more than a thousand kilograms of rice.
So as soon as Zhang Nan opened his mouth, he was always money, but Wang Lun, the prefect of the remote area, was shocked.
"That's right, if you find a big abalone, a particularly large one, I'll give him the same money for two abalones." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
What Zhang Nan said was that he had never even seen the double-headed abalone, but Zhang Nan did not have particularly big expectations, after all, this kind of thing is something that can be met but not sought, of course, if it is found, Zhang Nan will definitely accept it, and when the time comes, it will be pulled into a private club and marked with a price of a thousand yuan, Zhang Nan believes that there are still people who are willing to eat.
"Is what Lord Zhang said serious?" Wang Lun still doesn't believe that Zhang Nan actually does this business, after all, this is a businessless for the people, abalone is an ownerless thing, whoever catches it is whoever, you can exchange these ownerless things for money, there is still such a beautiful thing in the world?
Isn't it true that the officials from Chang'an City are all fools? Wang Lun glanced at Zhang Nan suspiciously.
