C783 looking for food

"The Westerners want to sell a boat of goods to the Great Qing for raw silk, porcelain and other goods, but the throughput of the ship is too great. All the goods are calculated according to the quantity of tens or even hundreds of tons, so it won't be that easy for him to sell them. Few merchants can swallow all the goods in one gulp …"

"At that time, they will need two kinds of help. One is distribution, which requires a lot of connections, and the other is short-term loan services. After all, merchants always have limited cash on hand, so they need to borrow money if they want to do big business!"

No matter how much goods you have, even if you have a fleet, as long as the goods are good and profitable, you can still receive the services of a foreign bank and a bank. That's why the Ryukyu is so prosperous, so those sea merchants would rather earn less than work with the Ryukyu …

His words caused everyone to be enlightened. Someone asked, "Does Your Majesty know how much Ryukyu has traded for this entire day? How much can the Letian Firm borrow? "

Zai Chun shook his head: "That is my business secrets, even if I am from the emperor, they would not tell me … But we can calculate from the side, that there is a merchant ship from the Western Ocean or the North America that is worth about 600 thousand silver, and I have already counted the number of merchant ships that the Ryukyu Pier can take in and take out every day, about 50. The other ships have to line up and wait … "

"If that's the case, then the value of the Ryukyu's daily consumption of goods would be around 3 million silver coins, and almost half of the funds here need to be borrowed. That is to say, the Letian Bank and his bank must prepare 1500-2 million silver coins as a reserve every day …"

"Impossible!" Feng Fu screamed in shock, causing the oranges in the baskets of the two old ladies who were buying oranges to tumble to the ground.

"You wicked brat, you are too disrespectful. You almost scared me to the point that I had a heart attack …" "Aiya, they're still dragging their tails. No wonder the kids from the Barbarian Sect didn't have any manners at all …"

Feng Fu was so angry that his nose was crooked. He was a dignified scholar who had walked out on the right path, Han Lin. He wanted to retort, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter how hard he tried.

The other officials knew that this was the Ryukyu, not a place they could play with. They quickly ran over to pick Cheng Zi up from the table and tried to make amends.

The group of people hurriedly walked a few steps and turned into a slightly more secluded district. Here, each room was filled with teahouses and taverns.

Zai Chun took out his pocket watch and saw that it was just past 11 o'clock. He smiled and said to Master Weng, "Today, I will treat everyone. Before it is time to eat, hurry and grab the seats in the Treasure Chest …"

"There's no rush, there's plenty of room on this street!" Weng Tonghe said.

"Aiya, my good master, you don't know how rich the Ryukyu is, don't look at how many restaurants and tea houses there are on this street, and all of them are small buildings of the second or third floor, just look and see. At this point, I think you have already booked out all the private rooms …"

"Let's talk about something. We can't go to the hall right? Hurry up …" Zai Chun had finally met his family today, so he did not need to wait upon them to become his master's errand boy.

The young emperors rushed in happily one after another and walked out in disappointment. They shook their heads, indicating that there was no room left, then looked for the next restaurant and shook their heads.

Time passed minute after minute. After asking around ten people, they found that the flow of customers on the streets had increased significantly. Many of the restaurants' halls were already filled, and it was only 11: 30 PM when the restaurant was already opened.

The air was filled with the fresh smell of seafood, the fragrance of fruits, and the sound of oil being fried and fried. When combined together, it directly aroused the gluttony in everyone's stomachs.

In the sea, people didn't even have an appetite because they were seasick. No matter how good a cook's meal was, it was still tasteless. Now that everyone was used to the feeling of seasickness and had stepped on solid ground, people realized that they hadn't eaten a proper meal in days.

Zai Chun scratched his head. Am I going to lose face today? Even if he wanted to treat all the guests, he wouldn't be able to afford it. In the end, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, striding towards a pineapple vendor. He glared at him and yelled, "Go find me a room, you have to settle all my customers here …"

"Ouch …" What do you mean, sir? "I'm just selling pineapples …"

"Piss off!" What are you, a glass buyer, doing with me? Do you think I didn't know you were from the ISI? I pretended that I didn't know you were acting like one? "Hurry up and find me a seat …"

In the end, he stomped his feet and threw down the pineapple stand before running off. Zai Chun picked out a few cut pineapples and tied them with bamboo sticks to give to the teachers and officials.

"Actually, Master doesn't have to worry about the problem of my White Dragon Fish Robe. The Prime Minister has always had a team of people protecting me in the dark. Ever since Osaka was frightened, I could feel the number of people in that team increasing exponentially …"

Feng Fu fiercely bit down on his pineapple "Protection? Imprison, I think! How could Xiao Letian have any good intentions … "

The efficiency of the ISI was high, very soon a fat shopkeeper ran out of a restaurant with a 'Fujian Residence' hanging on it. With a smile on his face, he rushed over like a flower, and said in a nonstandard official's language.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" You're a step higher! "I've long seen everyone looking for a place to eat. Coincidentally, I have three tables reserved for distinguished guests, so I haven't been able to find anything to do with it. As such, I'll let you all use it first …"

The boss turned his head to look at Zai Chun, and his eyes immediately lit up.

In Xiao Letian's eyes, this style was somewhat out of the ordinary, but in the hearts of the people at that time, this was the most fashionable style.

The sound of wooden stairs rose up into the air. The fragrance of the dishes in the restaurant was tempting. When they arrived at the third floor, they saw that there were already three tables in the spacious hall. The tables and chairs were arranged according to the number of people in their group.

When Weng Tonghe opened the window, he discovered that the Gourmet Street was actually built on a mountain path that went upwards. This restaurant was located at the highest point, and looking down from here, he could see the beautiful scenery of a large part of the city.

Streets, streams of people, well-planned blocks, and in the distance a dark blue sea, an exotic atmosphere.

The owner did not need any orders from the customers, he knew that these people were not lacking in money, their dishes flowed like water, the people in the coastal provinces would naturally have the unique skills of cooking seafood, Fujian was also very close to the Ryukyu, both parties' eating habits were similar.

"The dishes are here..." Seven-star Fish Ball, Wuliu Zu, Snow White Chicken, Minsheng Fruit, Drunken Ribs, Red Dirty Fish Ribs... And Buddha Jumping the Wall! "

"Steamed Groper, Swallow's Nest with Chicken Silk, Fresh-Dried Bamboo Clam, Fried Eel …" "In the end, the main course recommended the Eight Treasures Red Sturgeon rice. That taste is truly beautiful!"
