Chapter 274 Trading Center
The seaweed, kelp, shrimp skin and other seafood were bought by Zhao Liya specifically asked Zhong Jing to buy it from the Guangzhan fisherman's house and sent it to someone to send it to him.
Simple methods, or used to make soup and season, are all good things.
The originally worthless seaweed and kelp are rarely eaten by fishermen, and are mostly used to feed pigs, chickens and ducks. However, in Zhao Liya's oral narration, through Shu Yan's skillful hands, they have turned into many delicious dishes, such as seaweed.
Shrimp Chop Egg Flower Soup, Seaweed Shrimp Ball Soup, Seaweed Cake, Grilled Roasted Seaweed Crispy, Seaweed Meat Roll, Cold Shrimp Shredded Seaweed, Spicy and Sour Kelp Knots, Ribs Stewed Seaweed, Kelp tofu Stewed, etc. Their own flavor is very popular
, and many other restaurants followed suit, and for a while, seaweed and seaweed gradually increased in the market in the provincial capital.
Zhao Liya read the account book and was in a happy mood. She could enjoy Sister Shu Yan's crafts while it was hot, which was even more satisfying.
The next day, Zhao Liya asked the coachman to catch the car and go for a walk with her. She looked for a suitable place to build a trading center outside the city. Lin Mo accompanied Shu Yan to the restaurant early in the morning to teach the chef to cook.
Zhao Liya had already discussed the dish she wanted to teach before she came. Shu Yan tried it at home, and now she can teach it with ease.
This time we will teach six dishes and let Gu Chu launch them in batches, just in time to attract a batch of customers at the end of the year.
Gu Chu is full of energy and insight in his study and study. He doesn’t mention it quickly when learning, and can also ask many questions accordingly. It can be seen that his talent is indeed much better than many people.
Shu Yan is also lucky, and once the disciples of the school meet someone with extraordinary talent.
Zhao Liya wandered around the city for two days, and went to several teahouses. She asked around and found out about it. After seeing three or four places, she was not very satisfied.
The business of the trading center will definitely be linked to navigation trade in the future, and it will definitely attract countless big merchants. The place required for bulk commodity trading is not ordinary spacious.
If the place is too small, its future development will be limited. It will be too late to expand at that time.
Even though the area around Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, places like the provincial capital are still prosperous, with dense houses in the city, and even the slums are full of high and low shacks.
Such a place is not bad if it is demolished, but the cost required is too high.
Moreover, the product of a nail household may not be unavailable in this era.
Smart people will never be lacking in any era.
Even if the city is more convenient and you have to weigh it again and again, you must not give up.
Fortunately, I was mentally prepared and knew that it was not easy to find a suitable place in the city, so I didn’t feel too disappointed.
A spacious place is easy to find outside the city.
Two days later, Zhao Liya fell in love with a wasteland five or six miles south of the city.
The reason why this area has not been reclaimed into fields is mainly because there are several bumpy mud ponds, and the ground next to it is embedded with large and small stones, which is not suitable for reclaiming. Therefore, even if it is not far from the city, it is still empty.
Zhao Liya looked roughly and thought silently, intending to buy all the scattered vegetable fields not far away. The vegetable fields should be more expensive, but they should be worth it.
It is estimated that there are a total of thousands of acres.
After confirming the place, Lin Mo accompanied him to find the middle-aged man and asked him to help find the owner of the vegetable fields.
The middle-aged man didn't understand what they were doing for such a piece of wasteland. He enthusiastically said that he had a lot of land in his hands and would not lose money when he bought it.
Zhao Liya and Lin Mo had to politely decline.
It’s not bad to buy land, but it’s not suitable now.
Besides, whether it is Gaolian County or Suixi next door, there are few people and many lands, countless wilderness, and it is cheap! How much do you want to buy? Why buy it all the way here?
The middle-aged man complained that they were stupid, so he didn't say much about it when he saw this. Anyway, a lot of his errands were enough.
After working with the owners of several vegetable fields for three days, they finally got everything done. The government office applied for a land deed, and calculated in total, a total of 1,100 acres, and in fact there was a gift of 100 acres.
Although it is a wasteland that cannot be reclaimed, who can make people have a good geographical location and the price is not cheap. A total of six taels of silver per acre is 6,600 taels.
Zhao Liya tried to bargain but failed, but finally got a deal.
This place is not used for the time being, but she still hired someone to erect stone tablets on all sides and piled up some stone piles. The stone tablet states that the place has the meaning of the master, and mark it.
I also agreed with the owners of the vegetable fields that I would not plant any more when the crops in the vegetable fields were harvested.
He also told the shopkeeper of Chunxi Restaurant that he would come over from time to time and take a look, not to plant it again, nor to build a shack here.
This is all for less trouble in the future.
If someone set up a shed here, it will gradually attract many families to set up a shed here, and it will inevitably lead to conflicts when they drive people away in the future.
At that time, those who farmed might also take the opportunity to unite and have a fight.
People in this era did not have any legal awareness. When there were too many people, even the government would have to be careful. They were not a local gentry and tyrant here, and no one was afraid of it.
It is better to cut off the control from the source.
After all the two things were done, Zhao Liya and the other two went home.
Although the three of them had never been to the Min Magistrate Min's house again, Min Magistrate Min had been sending people to pay attention to them secretly.
He always needs to know more about his son's savior.
I was a little surprised to find out that they were the owners of Chunxi Restaurant, which was very popular in the city. I thought to myself that these people are quite capable!
He also learned afterwards that Zhao Liya bought land outside the city that he had to pay thousands of taels of silver, which was not a big deal.
What's even more surprising is that I actually bought such a useless place, and I don't know what I planned.
They bought so much land but didn't even come to their own way. It can be seen that they have an idea. It may also be because they have a big idea and are deliberately trying to use this favor in a larger place.
Prefect Min shook his head. For a moment, he couldn't think too much, so he didn't think about it anymore.
He would not refuse to admit the favor he owed. There was also Chunxi Restaurant, he told me to take care of him.
When I heard that they had left the provincial capital like this, Mrs. Min, who had already recovered a lot, was also a little surprised and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to meet Miss Zhao and Mrs. Lin, but I didn't expect to leave here!"
At first, she was a little worried that they would ask for favors, but now she felt a little relieved when she heard that they left like this.
Min Yanqi was even more disappointed: "I also want to see the two sisters. They are back home!"
Mrs. Min smiled: "They have a restaurant in the provincial capital and have bought a lot of land. They will naturally come in the future. They will see you when the time comes!"
Min Yanqi then became happy, "Yeah!"
