Chapter 400

Seeing the fishermen gathered around, Fang Xing pointed to the pot and said, "today I invited this family to try making canned fish for you. Everyone looked carefully."

The family immediately showed off the skill of braised fish, but there was a lot of salt. Fang woke up helpless.

In the absence of sterilization and inactivation today, we can only use this relatively primitive way to prolong the storage time.

The fish cut into large sections is cooked over a high fire, and then stewed over a low fire.

Fang Xing took advantage of this time to explain: "braised sea fish costs materials, but the smell of sea fish is strong. If you don't braised it, those buyers don't like it. You can also come up with ideas and try to see which method can remove the smell of sea fish."

"Put more salt."

Fang Xing continued, "this can delay the decay of the fish. The second is to cook more fish. It's best to make the fish bones crispy."

It's said here that those fishermen are listening attentively.

Looking at this scene, Xu Qing also had some speculation in his heart. He pulled over Xu Fangda and whispered, "your teacher wants to take care of his father's business!"

The Xu family can be regarded as a medium-sized business in Taizhou Prefecture. However, after Xu Fangda entered school, Xu Qing transferred his business to others.

As a businessman for many years, Xu Qing immediately saw the business opportunities here.

"Your teacher is really a thick Taoist!"

Hearing this, Xu Fangda nodded and said, "the teacher is a good man. He has taken me with him in dealing with things these days. He said he wanted me not to become a nerd, so he would drive me out of the school."

Xu Qingxi said, "sure enough, Wenqu star came to earth. Your teacher's move is exactly what he wants to do for his father!"

For more than a year, Xu Fangda has been reading the first volume of mathematics like a madman, and then writing and painting by the river all day. Others say that Lao Xu's family has a madman.

At that time, Xu Fangda didn't listen to anyone and worried the whole family.

Xu Fangda said, "the teacher said that my temperament is suitable for research, but I can't become a nerd. I have to strengthen my body and observe the world."

Xu Qing said happily, "as a father, let's see what can share our worries for Xinghe Bo. It's also a kind of thanks."

At this time, Fang Xing had picked up a pottery pot and showed it: "everyone pay attention. The inside of this pottery pot must be cleaned, boiled or steamed with boiling water, and then put the prepared fish in it."

"Remember, be sure to pack it while it's hot, and then seal it." Fang Xing put the pottery pot and lid into the boiling water on the side to cook.

"Uncle, did you mash it with lime tung oil and white hemp wadding to seal the edge of the jar?"

Asked a middle-aged man with rough hands and feet.

Fang woke up and said, "that's exactly what you mean, but you must try more times to avoid doing too much and rotting."

Fang Xing also had no move, so he came up with this idea.

After waiting for a while, the stove started directly in advance.

"Come on, everybody pay attention."

Fang Xing greeted with a smile.

After the family finished the whole packaging process, the faces of the fishermen showed a reluctant look.

"Too much trouble! And adding salt will cost a lot of money."

"Yes, we don't have such a skill. If something goes wrong or tastes bad at that time, who's it?"

"Fishing is easy to say. It's no problem to make dried fish, but I'm afraid I can't make it like this."

"Uncle, small ones can only catch fish. I'm afraid others can't do well!"

A bold fisherman spoke everyone's mind, and others echoed, saying that he couldn't get such a troublesome thing.

"How could it be?"

Fang woke up with regret and said, "that..."

Fang Xing's eyes looked around for a week and stopped slightly on Xu Qing.

"Uncle, why don't you try Xu?"

Xu Qing stood up and nodded around: "I, Xu Qing, estimated that someone knew me. If I can be trusted, Xu will discuss with uncle to see what way to solve this matter."

"It's Mr. Xu. I know him. I've sold fish to your family!"

Fang Xing nodded slightly and said, "in that case, can we do this?"

"Mr. Xu is responsible for buying everyone's fish catches, which has nothing to do with you since then."

As soon as the fishermen were overjoyed, they quickly shouted, "uncle, it's best."

"I didn't dare to catch more fish before. I was afraid it would stink if it couldn't be sold. If Mr. Xu could take it, what are we afraid of?"

"Yes, but the money won't be delayed, will it?"

Asked a fisherman who looked a little shrewd.

"Pay with one hand and deliver with the other!"

Fang Xing said decisively, and then comforted Xu Qing: "Mr. Xu can rest assured that the same is true on your side. The goods will be delivered to Jinling or Beiping and paid immediately after inspection."

Xu Qing said with a smile, "uncle, Xu is naturally trustworthy here."

The next step was to spend money. Fang Xing asked people to buy dried fish from the baskets of copper money. In the cheers of the fishermen, he went back with a fishy smell.

Back in the camp, Fang Xing and Xu Qing discussed the future.

"First try to make a small batch and send it to Jinling, where it will be sold, and then make a large number after it is stable."

Fang Xing gave the address to Xu Qing, and then explained, "it's mainly to get rid of the fishy smell, and then you can try to make other flavors and open the price difference according to the cost."

Xu Qing was surprised and said, "uncle, why do you still know about this merchant?"

Fang Xing said with a smile, "everything in the world has a truth. I opened a restaurant in Jinling, but my business is good."

Knowing that Fang Xing was also in business, Xu Qing's last stone fell to the ground and hurried to buy some fish to test.

When Xu Qing left with his front foot, Fang woke up and found Xu Fangda and his servants.

"What can you see from my actions today?"

When Xu Fangda arrived, Fang woke up with a problem, which made him confused. At the same time, he was also thinking carefully.

The weather in October seems very suitable, but it's dry.

Fang Xing drank chrysanthemum tea and motioned Fang Wu and Xiaodao to think about it. As for Xin Laoqi, he didn't dare to expect.

After waiting for half the pay, Xu Fangda still looked misty and obviously had no conclusion.

Fang Wu said tentatively, "Sir, are you intentional today?"

Xiaodao also said, "brother five is right, sir. I also think you are intentional today."

Fang woke up and looked at Xin Laoqi, who was smiling foolishly, nodded and said, "it was intentional."

"You all have to remember."

Fang Xing warned: "people are the most realistic. Having three meals a day and having children is the focus of their life, so they can't be driven only by promise."

Xu Fangda said in confusion, "teacher, when the government used to enslave the people, they were very honest!"

"That's a threat."

Fang Xing said faintly, "the county magistrate who broke the family and the official Yin who killed the family. If the people don't obey, they will break the family at the slightest and kill the family at the heaviest. Do you understand?"

After Xu Fangda was shocked, he was silent and seemed at a loss.
