Li Yi took the small crabs and chilled them.
When they were sent from the seaside, they would be filled with seawater.
If they were alive, they would be frozen immediately. If they died on the way, they would be thrown away.
Every day, they would be sent over according to their nutritional intake. It was a waste of money.
However, there was no shortage of rich people in the Tang dynasty's capital office.
Like Wang Wei, he was not a high-ranking official. He was born in the Wang family of Hedong. His mother's surname was Cui, but she was actually from the Cui family of Qinghe.
With such an official position, he could build a large garden for his mother to live in.
Of course, his younger brother was more powerful. His name was Wang Jin, and he was the assistant minister of the government. However, he was not the head of the Secretariat, but the assistant minister of the government.
What was the difference? When it was Li Yi, it was equivalent to * * * * *, * * * * *.
If he was the head of the Secretariat, he could be called * * * * * *, * * * * *, or party secretary.
If he was the head of the Secretariat, he would enjoy the treatment of a high-ranking official. Whether he had real power depended on whether he had other positions.
In other words, Wang Wei's younger brother was a deputy premier of the Standing Committee. Of course, his power was not small.
But it had nothing to do with Wang Wei building such a large garden for his mother. It was Wang Wei who did it.
This proved that there were still many rich people in the Tang dynasty.
Living crabs were valuable, but dead crabs were not eaten. Unless they were sent over in winter, dead crabs were also fine.
In summer, the temperature was not low enough. It only reduced the crabs' metabolic activity, which was equivalent to dormancy.
"When the train starts running this year, the price of small crabs will plummet. You know the situation at the seaside. Whether the resources are wasted or not depends on the logistics."
Li Yi put a few skewers of small crabs in the oil pan and talked to Princess Yongmu. His voice could be heard by all the people around him.
Princess Yongmu helped the children carry things. "The crabs by the seaside are the most worthless. The locals don't eat them. There is no meat, mainly because there is no oil to fry.
In the Bohai Bay area, after the tide recedes, there are many small crabs and sandworms under the rocks.
The locals didn't touch these things before. They only ate fish or big crabs.
Now, things have changed. It's mainly because of the processing technology and the publicity in the newspapers. In addition, the most important thing is that Li Lang, you've given us a lot of technologies. The people of the Tang dynasty now have more choices for cooking. "
Princess Yongmu chatted casually. She didn't need to praise Li Yi. Did Li Yi need to be praised?
"Yes! However, the officials are more important, especially the minor ones. "Li Yi was not modest. He was the one who had pushed him.
On the contrary, he was worried that some petty officials would try their best to gain benefits and delay the people's livelihood.
When he was young, he had been to the Bohai Bay. It was now called the Andong Protectorate and was under the jurisdiction of the Jili Province.
At that time, he was still young and was playing with his family.
At that time, that place still had to collect tickets. If they went from other places, they would be able to bypass the door, so there was no need to buy tickets.
When they went up the mountain, the local people were like thieves. They didn't have anything on them and asked if they wanted to eat burritos.
It's almost the same as selling drugs. You have to be on guard!
If you want to eat, one burrito costs 50 cents, so two people will have to eat two.
Then, he would take you to a secluded place where his package was. He was a local.
There were small crabs and other things in the burritos. They were all fried and very affordable.
The same thing would cost two yuan at the entrance of the store.
If you didn't know the situation of the things in the sea and asked a few more questions, the salesperson would look at you as if you were a person from the countryside.
Li Yi had experienced it before, so he wanted to change.
The small crabs by the sea didn't have much meat. They were just crispy. Some were flat-back crabs, some were meatball crabs, and some were fluffy crabs.
When they were fried, they would make a sound. When they were eaten, they would crunch.
Li Yi put five crabs in a row and fried a bunch.
No one was allergic, so they could eat all of them.
Princess Yongmu gave the burritos to the elders first, including the four chancellors.
"Thank you, Wen Tian." Su Yi thanked her and took a small crab. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became.
After swallowing, he smacked his lips. "Two yuan for one. The poor really can't afford it."
He was talking about the price of the live crabs in Chang 'an City. He asked the customers to cook the live crabs for two yuan each.
Those that just died were one yuan each. Li Chengqi sold them wholesale. Those that died after he got them, he didn't sell them. They were all alive.
If others bought them and raised them, they would die. The price would be calculated separately.
The wholesale price was one yuan for two crabs. Those that Li Chengqi didn't sell were distributed to the people of the Zongzheng Temple. Those that died after they came were fried and sent to the school.
The merchants who bought the dead crabs were not allowed to sell them at noon the next day.
They could fry them and add some salt. This way, they could last for more than ten hours. They could be sold for one yuan for two or three crabs.
If no one bought them, the merchants would also send them to the school. At noon, they would give them to the children during lunch.
Under normal circumstances, the merchants would make an appointment first, let others tell them in advance, pay a deposit, and buy more crabs according to the amount.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no leftovers.
"It's easy in the future. The train comes here in a day. I think I can buy two crabs for one yuan. The cost of oil and labor is expensive."
When Zhang Jiuling was in Guangzhou, he didn't eat this kind of small crabs at all. In Chang 'an City, he actually had to buy them one by one.
"Life is too slow." Bi Goo was concerned about the passage of the train and the collection of taxes in Haizhou.
They had to wait for the railway to be paved. When the train was ready, one head would be placed on a section of the track and could go out at any time.
The other head was in the process of being manufactured. When the time came, they would have to pull the switch. Otherwise, they would bump into each other.
"Xiao Yi, what's your arrangement for the person pulling the switch?" Bi Goo mumbled and found that the railway was very dangerous.
"The army." Li Yi replied with two words.
He definitely didn't want to arrange for a random person to pull the switch. Not to mention whether this person would drink too much or not, even if he didn't drink, he could easily be killed by bad guys.
The best way was to send an army to guard every switch. The cavalry would patrol in sections and put an inclined plane in front of the locomotive to push the east and west.
"Good." Bi Goo thought that it was unnecessary to ask.
"Do you think Nuu can come back at the end of the month?" Noble Consort Lu calculated the itinerary.
When Princess Jincheng entered the territory of the Tang dynasty, the fast horse came back and reported every day. The pigeons were saved for the critical moment.
According to the speed of the team, they would reach the place where the artificial canal was dug in about ten days.
The yacht would pick her up and come back at the end of the month.
"The other boats are ready." Li Longji replied. The yacht couldn't hold too many people, so the steamer would follow.
When they went, they would go against the current. When they came back, they would go with the current.
"Brother Yi, when the time comes, we have to set up the water curtain and arrange the program." Noble Consort Lu directly told Li Yi at this moment.
"Okay." Li Yi agreed. In fact, he had already started to prepare.
Not only were there water curtains, but there were also fireworks and colorful lights.
Many people who had seen Princess Jincheng in the past had not seen her for eight years.
Princess Jincheng was only 13 years old when she got married. Now that she had a child, it was unknown whether the hardships of the Tubo Dynasty had left any traces on her face.
The banquet was guaranteed to be held in the Li Family Zhuangzi. Maybe Princess Jincheng would like to go back to the palace to have a look.
