Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 204, delicious seafood

Tianjin.

The setting sun was gradually setting, and Tianjin, which was bustling and busy all day, finally calmed down slowly.

Here at each construction site, the victims who had worked hard all day led the big sea fish to their temporary shelters, talking and laughing.

A day of hard work earned ten catties of fish. Today, because the fleet headed for North Korea returned and brought back five million catties of rice, Liu Jin gave everyone an extra two or two extra rice.

Although eating fish will not starve to death, everyone is already tired of eating fish every day, and even wants to vomit when they see this fish, but there is no way, now is the age of famine, and the price of food has gone to the sky , Some food is already very good, let alone meat.

Now that I have an extra two or two rices, I can eat it sparingly. If I use it to make porridge, the whole family can eat it for a few days, and it can be regarded as a change of taste.

Cooking smoke rose from inside and outside Tianjin City, and there was a burst of fish smell in the air. Of course, for those who have been here in Tianjin, these fish smells are not only without the slightest fragrance, but also smell There is a feeling of nausea.

There is no way, people in Tianjin have long been tired of eating fish for a long time.

However, for Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, Zhang Mao and others who just came to Tianjin not long ago, the smell of fish is very attractive, especially at this time when the three of them came to Liu Jin's house. Cook and prepare a table of sumptuous seafood to entertain them.

"The last dish is the bluefin tuna sashimi, the top seafood, definitely not to be missed."

Liu Jin came in with a plate of sashimi and said with a smile.

Li Dongyang looked at Liu Jin, and then looked at a table of delicacies, steamed grouper, garlic vermicelli scallops, stir-fried spicy conch meat, sour bamboo shoots with conch slices, steamed butter crab, deep-fried lobster, butterfly sea cucumber soup , Braised fish maw with three shreds...
Although the three of them have eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, they still can't help swallowing when they look at the delicious food on the table in front of them. Liu Jin, who comes from later generations, is a person who loves food, and he also likes to eat food in a blink of an eye, so it is also Able to cook pretty good dishes.

"Li Gong, Zhou Gong, Zhang Gong, everyone, try it."

After changing his clothes and washing up, Liu Jin walked over and sat down with a smile. Seeing that they were still waiting for him, he also smiled and motioned for everyone to have a taste.

"Come together, come together."

Several people picked up the chopsticks, smiled and gestured to each other, and each began to set up a dish and taste it carefully.

"Hmm~"

What Li Dongyang sandwiches is steamed grouper. The meat of the grouper is extremely tender. This wild large grouper is definitely top-notch delicacy. Steaming is the best way to bring out the extreme sweetness of the ingredients.

When the fish was in the mouth, his eyes lit up instantly with the taste of freshness and sweetness. After tasting it carefully, he couldn't help but chopsticks one after another.

“Delicious food~”

"what fish is this?"

Li Dongyang ate a few bites in a row, then carefully looked at the grouper on the plate and asked.

"This is a grouper. This grouper usually lives in reefs and coral areas in the sea. The meat is extremely delicious, firm and delicate, and also contains a lot of nutrients. It is very suitable for elderly people to eat."

Liu Jin introduced Li Dongyang with a smile.

"Grouper?"

"Well, this taste is indeed very delicious, even more delicious than the mandarin fish I've ever eaten, and it has very few spines, and the meat is firmer."

Li Dongyang nodded after listening, and then took two more bites with chopsticks.

"My dish is also very good. What kind of meat is this slice?"

"Not to mention very delicious, the meat is also extremely crisp and chewy."

Zhou Jing asked while frying the snails beside him.

"This is sliced ​​snail meat. The snail is a kind of snail that is common in the sea. It is very big and the meat is extremely delicious."

Liu Jin smiled and said to him.

"Delicious, delicious, boy, if I had known how you can cook, I should have come to your house every day."

On the other side, Zhang Mao is feasting. He himself is a gourmet eater and likes food. He has almost eaten all the restaurants in the capital. up.

Now that I have tasted the seafood feast made by Liu Jin with all kinds of seafood, the whole person has a big appetite, and he has already disregarded his image, and is eating big, big mouthfuls.

Regarding this, Zhou Jing and Li Dongyang smiled, they seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and it was not a day or two since they knew Zhang Mao.

"Haha, actually it's not about how good my craftsmanship is, but that the ingredients themselves are top-notch ingredients, so they only need the simplest cooking method to show their ultimate delicacy."

"Look, this grouper is steamed, the prawns are boiled, the lobsters are deep-fried, and the crabs are all steamed. The cooking methods of these dishes are extremely simple, and there is nothing too much methods and techniques."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head.

"The sea is a huge treasure. It not only has endless wealth, it also has endless food. The table in front of you is just an extremely insignificant point in the sea. There are more, more Delicacy is waiting for us to taste."

Naturally, Liu Jin's invitation to dinner is not simply a treat, but to let these important courtiers taste the taste of this seafood. Only by seeing and feeling it in person can we know the benefits of the ocean.

The three of them saw the huge food brought by the ocean here in Tianjin, and at the same time saw the huge profits and benefits brought by the sea trade. Now Liu Jin let them taste the ultimate delicacy of seafood.

Liu Jin believed that if they were honest ministers, virtuous ministers, and people who devoted themselves to the country and the society as written in the history books, they should be able to see the importance of this ocean to Ming Dynasty, and believed They will definitely stand on their side in terms of sea ban.

Of these three people, Zhang Mao can be regarded as the representative of the military general Xungui. Although the military general Xungui has no right to speak or have much real power, this does not mean that they have no influence. On the contrary, the military general Xungui has been married to each other for generations. They are already intertwined, forming a huge community of interests with each other.

Once someone touches the interests of the military generals and nobles, they will join forces to fight back without hesitation. Whether in the court or outside the court, the power of these generals and nobles is indispensable in almost every field.

Li Dongyang can be regarded as a representative of Southern Shilin. Although his hometown is a bit far from the Jiangnan area, but because of his high position and weight, the Jiangnan area's Shilin also automatically included him in it. He and Xie Qian are the pillars of the Southern Shilin in the court. .

If he can also support the ban on opening the sea, with his huge influence, he can make a crack in the most resistant southern scholastics and reduce the opposition of southern scholastics.

As for Zhou Jing, he is from the north, and he and Liu Jian can be regarded as representatives of northern scholars, and they are also high in position and weight.

The big gentry families in the north earn very little profit in the sea, and the lifting of the sea ban will not violate their interests. On the contrary, once the sea ban is lifted, Beizhili and Shandong can also go to sea, and the northern gentry and big families are also the same. It can be profitable, and it can be regarded as a support force that is relatively easy to win.

As long as the support of these three people can be won, and Liu Jin has allowed Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao to taste the huge benefits brought by the ocean, and with the strongest support, Liu Jin believes that there is nothing wrong with opening the sea ban problem.

"Yes!"

"This ocean is indeed a huge treasure. This trip to Tianjin is an eye-opener."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhou Jing put down the chopsticks in his hand and also sighed.

“It was indeed an eye-opener and a lot of emotion.”

Li Dongyang thought about it and also sighed for a long time, the impact of coming to Tianjin is really too great.

"Come on, come on, what to do after talking so much, drink, drink~"

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin, then at Li Dongyang and Zhou Jing, rolled his eyes, and seemed to understand something, but he pretended to be rude and poured wine for others, yelling to drink together.

"Yes, yes, there are delicious food, how can there be no good wine."

Liu Jin also smiled and raised the glass in his hand.

　The ex-girlfriend got married today, and she is worried about gains and losses. I hope everyone cherishes the person you like~
