Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 275, Seafood Line
On the bustling streets of the capital, Liu Jin and Zhao Erhu strolled along the streets very casually.

It's rare to come back to the capital once, so it's natural to take a stroll around the capital and take a look. Of course, Liu Jin didn't really just come out to wander around because he was bored. He went there with a purpose.

"Two Tigers, it's really lively enough, much more lively than Tianjin."

Looking at the bustling streets, the entire capital is more prosperous than before. Not only are there millions of people living in the capital, there are also hundreds of thousands of people living outside the capital in all directions, so during the day, the capital It was very lively and congested inside.

There are many pedestrians on the street, restaurants, teahouses, shops... all kinds of things, and at the same time, there are countless small stalls and hawkers, who buy all kinds of snacks, sell all kinds of gadgets, perform acrobatics, and run around the rivers and lakes Yes, all kinds of shouts, with accents from all over the world.

"It's lively, but the roads and streets in the capital are too narrow."

Zhao Erhu thought for a while and replied, the current Zhao Erhu is no longer the bumpkin who just came out of Xiahetun.

"It's too narrow, and it must be changed in the future, otherwise it will definitely be blocked."

Looking at the bustling street in front of him, there are too many pedestrians, and it is difficult for a carriage to pass. Obviously, this ancient city may face the problem of traffic congestion in the future.

“Looks like glass windows are very popular~”

While Liu Jin was walking on the street, he also paid close attention to the changes in restaurants, teahouses and other buildings on both sides of the street. As Liu Jin expected, glass windows, glass lamps, etc. have begun to sweep the entire capital.

The windows in the past were all paper windows, but now the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street have been replaced with glass windows, which reflect rays of light under the sunlight.

Through the glass windows, you can also see that there are a lot of glass lamps in these restaurants and teahouses. Glass mirrors are installed at the entrances of some restaurants and teahouses. , with copper as a mirror, you can correct your clothes', 'If you don't dress well, you won't entertain' and other slogans.

Similar to the later generations, these industries are the most trendy industries, and they all follow the trend of the times. Now all kinds of glass products have become the standard equipment of the upper class in the capital. Naturally, these restaurants and teahouses have everything To keep up, especially some high-end restaurants, that is even more so.

"The glass windows are much more useful than the old ones. They let in a lot of light and are protected from the wind and rain. They will definitely be popular."

Zhao Erhu thought for a while and nodded.

"It's good to be popular, the more popular the better."

Liu Jin was naturally grinning from ear to ear. The glass business is still exclusive until now, and the business here in Gujinlou is still very hot.

The ancient and modern buildings have driven the atmosphere of the entire capital, and the entire capital will also drive the atmosphere of the entire Ming Dynasty. The market in the capital is full, and there is also a market in the vast Ming Dynasty.

Now the biggest business of Gujinlou is no longer in the capital, but a steady stream of merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty. These merchants sell all kinds of glass products to every corner of the Ming Dynasty, making glass products become the upper class of the Ming Dynasty. standard configuration.

Naturally, the business here in Gujinlou is very hot, and Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao are fully supported.

"Brother Jin, this cement is slowly becoming popular. You can see that this building is also built according to our building in Tianjin."

Zhao Erhu pointed to a small building made of cement and green bricks next to the street and said that the main body of this small building has been completed. Although it is only three stories high, it has become the focus of the street. Anyone passing by here should stop and take a good look.

The houses in the capital are basically made of wood. Of course, don't think that the houses made of wood are inferior. In fact, in this era, only rich people can build such houses.

Ordinary poor people can only build mud houses, but they can't afford wooden houses at all.

Houses made of wood have many advantages, but it is difficult to build them very high. Generally, they are one-story, and a few can be built with two or three floors, but they are not too high.

Nowadays, cement and green bricks are used to build houses, and it is easy to build very high. That is to say, there are restrictions on the capital side, and no more than a certain height is allowed. Therefore, although the capital is prosperous, in fact, all buildings are not high. They are all one-story houses, only restaurants and teahouses along the street have two or three floors, but they are relatively few.

Of course, the height of the building is not the reason for the attraction of this building. What is more important is that the structure of this building is completely different from that of this era. It is square and square, and the outside is covered with a layer of white lime. Brightly exists.

In addition, the facade of this building is also very wide and very grand; the ground is paved with cement, and the latest ceramic tiles are pasted, as well as glass windows, glass lamps, etc. for decoration.

"Moon Moon Tower?"

Liu Jin looked at the latest glass-supported signboard outside the building. This kind of glass signboard is also a new product launched by Gujinlou. At night, as long as a few candles are lit inside, there will be a future generation immediately. The effect of advertising signs.

"I remember that Moon Tower is not in this place, is it?"

Liu Jin turned his head and looked around. Moon Moon Tower is a place he is famous for. How could he forget that this is obviously not the place where Moon Moon Tower is located. There is actually a new Moon Moon Tower here.

"This is a branch of Wangyuelou. It is said that it is specially used for seafood."

Someone next to him heard Liu Jin's words and knew the details, so he also replied.

"Branch?"

"Specialize in seafood?"

Liu Jin was also slightly taken aback after hearing this. It feels similar to hotels, restaurants, etc. in later generations. There are even branches that specialize in seafood.

I have to say that after traveling to this era, Liu Jin has made some changes to this era after all, and the butterfly effect seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Beijing and Tianjin have spacious concrete roads, and fishing is allowed. All kinds of seafood from sea fish are also continuously transported to the capital, which has led to the emergence of special seafood restaurants in the capital.

What will happen in the future, what huge changes will happen, it is estimated that no one can predict.

For this change, whether it is good or bad, no one can say for sure, but at least for now, this change is more beneficial than harmful to Daming, which makes Liu Jin feel a lot more at ease.

When seafood was mentioned, Liu Jin remembered that there was already a special seafood store in the capital, and with Zhao Erhu, Liu Jin also walked towards the seafood store.

The seafood store is also located in Chongnanfang, Langdong. When it was only a few hundred meters away from the seafood store, Liu Jin could already smell a faint smell of the sea. The stronger the taste.

"There are so many people~"

When he came to the seafood store, Liu Jin looked around and saw that the entire street where the seafood store was located was very lively. A large number of people were choosing seafood from Tianjin here, and there were endless voices of bargaining. The fishy smell and fishy smell also came oncoming, which made Liu Jin frown slightly.

"Master, do you want to buy seafood?"

"I have newly arrived tuna, grouper, and whale, all of which just arrived this morning, very fresh."

Liu Jin walked very casually. As soon as he entered the seafood store, the boss greeted Liu Jin with a smile on his face. The boss saw that Liu Jin was dressed in extraordinary clothes, so he also focused on selling expensive seafood to Liu Jin.

Tuna and grouper are the most expensive seafood. As for whale, the price is not expensive, but because of its great reputation, it is the Kunpeng in the sea after all, and it is also very popular in the capital.

"Yeah~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he also smiled, and then looked at his booth with great interest. The variety of seafood is still very complete, and what is available in Tianjin is available here.

Baskets of large yellow croakers and small yellow croakers, large in quantity and sufficient in size, all kinds of sea snails, crabs, large pieces, large pieces, bright red whale meat, a tuna that has been cut in half, and There are grouper fish in the water, and various dried fish hanging there.

"Boss, you have a lot of goods."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"Of course, I dare say that there is no one in the entire seafood store who has more seafood than me, Qin Quan."

"This is whale meat, a whole piece of whale meat, shipped directly from Tianjin, bright red, bright red, very fresh, this whale, but Kunpeng in the sea, eating this whale meat, not only can Nourishing yin and tonifying yang, it can make people have good luck and a long journey."

The boss Qin Quan was very eloquent, pointing to a large piece of whale meat, he insisted on talking about the whale meat.

"There is also this tuna and grouper, which were also transported from Tianjin in the morning. Look at the gills of this fish, they are still bright red, bright red. They were caught last night, very fresh."

"This tuna and grouper are the best sea fish. The meat is extremely delicious and there are very few fish bones. Especially this tuna is very suitable for slicing and dipping in sauce."

"It is also because I have acquaintances here in Tianjin that I was able to get these expensive seafood. You must know that these seafood are all given by restaurants and dignitaries in the capital, and it is difficult to get them. "

"Young master, do you want to buy some?"

Qin Quan talked a lot, but he still talked about expensive seafood to sell. He was sure that Liu Jin was a rich man.

"How do you sell these fish?"

Liu Jin also smiled and asked after listening.

"The fish here is the cheapest in the capital. The tuna only costs [-] to [-] yuan a catty, the grouper [-] yuan a catty, and the whale meat is even cheaper. It only costs [-] yuan a catty."

Qin Quan rolled his eyes slightly, and quoted the price with a smile.

"Your price is not cheap at all. As far as I know, this tuna is only [-] yuan a catty here in Tianjin, as for the grouper, it is only [-] yuan a catty, and the whale meat is only [-] cents a catty." A catty of pennies."

As soon as Liu Jin heard the other party's quotation, he knew immediately in his mind that when these various sea fish were transported to the capital, the price was basically doubled, and the expensive seafood was even more expensive.

"I didn't expect the young master to be an insider~"

"However, that price is also the price of Tianjin. This is the capital city, and it takes more than a hundred miles to transport it here, and it takes a four-wheeled carriage to transport it all the time to ensure freshness. You also know that in this weather It's getting hotter and hotter, and once the sun shines, this product will no longer work, and the price can't be compared with Tianjin."

When Qin Quan heard this, he smiled awkwardly and said.

"Not really. I don't deal in sea fish, but I know the price of these seafood very well. Your sea fish are very fresh."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker and asked, "How do you sell these big yellow croakers and small yellow croakers?"

"My lord, these are cheap goods. They only cost five cents a catty, and there are discounts for large quantities."

Qin Quan said with a smile.

"Your seafood is cheaper, I want them all."

Liu Jin looked at the other party. It was rare for the other party to waste a lot of time talking to him. He still wanted to let the other party do some business. Anyway, he bought these sea fish and sent them to Xishan, or to the glass factory. Giving to his subordinates can be considered as a capitalist giving extra meals to his employees, and it doesn't cost much money.

"You want it all?"

When Qin Quan heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and asked in disbelief, and then became excited all of a sudden, this feeling met a big customer.

"My lord, you are also an insider. I can't hide anything from you. If you want all these goods, the price will be [-]%. How much do you want me to earn for running errands?"

"Basically, Boss Qin, this errand fee is too expensive."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

"Well, seventy-five percent, as you know, the shipping fee is really not cheap. If it is lower, I will have no money to make. Let me eat porridge."

When Qin Quan heard this, he said anxiously.

The weather is hot now, and there is no ice in this era. If the sea fish is not sold in time, it will definitely stink, and the stinky sea fish will lose money.

Now I have met a big customer who wants everything. Although the price is much lower, but because he wants everything, he still has a lot of profit in it.

"Qicheng, if it doesn't work, I'll ask other people."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said, Liu Jin naturally doesn't care about the money, but mainly enjoys the feeling of bargaining.

"Okay, [-]% is [-]%~"

Qin Quan thought for a while, gritted his teeth and agreed to Liu Jin's price, then shook his head slightly and said, "This price really doesn't make any money. If you have business in the future, you must take care of Lao Qin."

"Haha, no problem, no problem, this is a deposit, please send it to the glass factory on the west mountain outside the city."

Liu Jin smiled and nodded, then took two big ingots from Zhao Erhu and put them in Qin Quan's hands.

Qin Quan got the two big ingots, and immediately showed a smile on his face. He carefully weighed and weighed the silver ingots, and then shook them with his teeth. His eyes lit up slightly.

"Okay, okay, no problem, no problem~"

The money given by the other party is quite a lot, and it is nothing to send it to the glass factory. He has a buddy under his command, and there is already a car and horse dealer in Beijing that specializes in transporting seafood. It can be delivered near the capital.
