The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2145 Promotion of Fish
Let's say Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun brought two catties of salmon to Tai Chi Palace.

And found Li Shimin, want to give Li Shimin a taste.

Li Shimin didn't eat at this time.

He watched the two come back, and said a little unhappy: "Where have you all been? I have been waiting for you for a long time. Now I have not eaten at noon because I have been waiting for you. I am waiting for you to come back for dinner."

At this time, the two felt a little embarrassed.

Because they ate at Shengtang Group, and because they ate there, they didn't tell Li Shimin.

But Li Shimin waited there for the return of the two of them.

And waited until one o'clock.

"Okay, let's eat together!"

Li Shimin said again.

At this time, Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang still felt a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, we ate, He Min'er ate." Empress Changsun said.

"Huh? Why did you find him?" Li Shimin asked very puzzled.

Concubine Yang said: "Your Majesty, this time we went to visit Yan Yao. He has lost weight recently. We haven't seen him for a long time, and we haven't been with him. So let's have some dinner over there."

Empress Changsun continued, "Yes, it was our mistake that we didn't tell His Majesty in advance. However, you must try some of the things we brought back, Your Majesty. They are very delicious."

Li Shimin was puzzled.

What did they bring back?
But as soon as he heard that he had brought something back from Shengtang Group.

"is it?"

His attitude has changed, after all, he brought something from Shengtang Group.

Those are all good things, since he thinks Sheng Tang Group has always been at the forefront of everyone.

So Shengtang Group represents avant-garde.

Those are all shocking existences.

This is the feeling of Shengtang Group.

It is also agreed by everyone.

"Do you want to try, Your Majesty?" Concubine Yang asked.

"That's fine. Then I'll give it a try!"

Li Shimin said.

"Yes!"

So, the two put the salmon brought from Li Yin's side on the table.

But Li Shimin just frowned and looked at the salmon on this table.

Asked: "Is this thing really edible?"

"Yes, of course you can eat it! Your Majesty, you have to try this, it's delicious."

Concubine Yang said.

At this time, they did not say that this thing was raw.If it was raw, Li Shimin might not eat it.

But Li Shimin believed in the two of them.

Frowning, he picked up a piece and ate it straight away.The lingering feeling in the mouth is unstoppable.

Then I ate another piece.Two yuan, three yuan.

He ate one piece after another.

It felt like he had never eaten such a delicious thing.

So he asked: "What is this? Why is the entrance dense?"

Empress Changsun said, "Min'er told us that this thing is called salmon!"

"What's that? Is there three pennies for one piece?"

This is the general perception of people.

Why is it called salmon?
"We don't know about that either. The fish is from Miner's side. We don't know why it's called that."

Obviously, the taste of the salmon made it easy for Li Shimin to accept it.

Li Shimin's acceptance of this kind of thing is quite high.

He had never eaten anything so delicious.

"Then how is this fish cooked? Why can it be so delicious?"

Li Shimin didn't know that the fish was raw.

And Empress Changsun didn't hide anything.

"Your Majesty, this fish is raw without any cooking."

Li Shimin almost spat out.

"What is it, how can it be eaten raw?"

He was very puzzled why he wanted to eat raw.

But, having said that, the taste of this raw fish is very unusual.

Concubine Yang said: "This raw thing completely retains its original flavor. In Min'er's words, this is called being close to nature."

After Li Shimin heard it, he felt it made sense.

It's this red thing, it looks a little scary!But it can't stand its delicious taste. If it is served with sauce, the taste will be even more amazing.

"Where is this thing?"

Li Shimin asked after eating a piece.

He asked this question, perhaps because he wanted to know where he could have it if he wanted to eat it next time.

Empress Changsun said: "I heard that this thing was shipped from Nanzhou. We don't know the details."

When it comes to Li Shimin in Nanzhou, one person comes to mind, and that is Li Chengqian.

Because he is the actual controller of Nanzhou.Something came out of him.And this is what Li Shimin remembered about the trade-related matters he had learned before.

Because of trade, they can eat different things!

"Nanzhou?"

"Yes!"

Indeed there are many things.It is not available in Datang, and these things can only be transported to Datang from other countries and regions through trade.

"Did the kid say that there are other places where this thing can be caught?"

Li Shimin turned his attention to the sea.

If it can be caught offshore, it is indeed good.

In Li Shimin's view, as long as there are fish in the sea, the whole ocean is the same, there is no reason.Only Nanzhou has it.

However, things were not as Li Shimin thought.

Because there are some fishes that live in high latitudes.And it has extremely high requirements for the marine environment.It even needs a certain temperature to survive.And some like some kind of shrimp.They exist only in places of craters.

Concubine Yang said at this time: "We have to ask about this."

"Ask! Ask now. This stuff is so good. I want it every day!"

Li Shimin said again.

When Concubine Yang heard this, good family, Li Shimin became addicted to this food.

Because this is a good thing, of course good things should be eaten every day.

At this time, Changsun Empress Shan picked up the phone and dialed Li Yin's number.

When the phone is connected.

She turned on her voice.

"Min'er, I want to know, besides Nanzhou, where else can I find this salmon?"

As soon as Li Yin heard it, he knew that it was Li Shimin who wanted to know.

But he didn't have to hide anything.

So, he said: "Mother, if you say where it is, let me think about it! By the way, you may be able to catch this kind of fish at the junction of Nvtang and Xintang. If you want more, you may have to go a little north. .Whether you can catch it or not depends on your luck? As far as I know."

Li Yin said so.

"That!"

Empress Changsun wanted to hang up.

But Li Yin said: "But!"

As soon as he came out, the hearts of the three hung up.

"but what?"

"The salmon in every sea area is different, and the fish in some places is delicious, such as near Nanzhou."

There is no need for Li Yin to hide this.

It turned out to be the case.

It's produced in different places, and the taste is also different.

"Okay, I see." Empress Changsun said.

"If nothing happens, I'll hang up!" Li Yin finally said.

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone.

Li Shimin also heard what he just said.

"Whether this is delicious or not, you can only know after eating it. Let the middlemen catch some and bring them to Chang'an!"

Li Shimin made up his mind, he had his own ideas.

Since this is the case, let's catch some to eat and see, the trains and planes are so developed now.

Freshly caught fish is easily available.If fishing for salmon.

I believe it won't be long before this kind of fish will be on the table of ordinary people in Datang.

And Datang's economy will also grow as a result.

It will also improve a lot.

The price of salmon should not be set too low.

"If possible, then I want to promote this fish!"

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang never thought that Li Shimin was thinking about this question.

He directly thought of the question of how to make money, about this point.

The two of them really didn't expect it.

"This fish has no bones, and it is easier to eat than our freshwater fish." Li Shimin said again.

"This fish can also be cooked, especially grilled, which is also good." Concubine Yang said.

"Oh?"

Li Shimin came to the fore.

But the amount of salmon on the table has become very small. Li Shimin ate happily just now, and he was about to finish it.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this fish is not enough!" Empress Changsun said.

"Which one of you will go to Tanglou to buy some from that kid?" Li Shimin asked.

Now he hasn't had enough.

Therefore, such a request was made.

Can the two say no?

So Concubine Yang took the initiative and said, "I'll go!"

"Let's go with me too." Empress Changsun said.

"Okay, then come back quickly."

Li Shimin said.

And the two had to agree.

Let's say that after the two left the palace, they found Li Yin.

As for the arrival of the two, Li Yin was not surprised.

Because he guessed, this fish is so delicious, Li Shimin will not give up.

If you let Nv Tang catch it, then when it's time to take a bite.

It's better to ask for a little bit from yourself.

Seeing the arrival of the two, Li Yin welcomed them into the office very warmly.

But the two of them didn't know what to say.

In the end, Concubine Yang said, "Min'er, we are here because we have something to do."

"I know." Li Min said.

The two were shocked, and Li Yin knew it before they even spoke?

"This……"

"Zhushan!"

"exist!"

"Go get a hundred catties of salmon and send it to the palace!"

"Yes!"

When Li Yin said that, the two really understood that Li Yin really knew what they were doing here.

Because after Empress Changsun called, Li Yin knew that Li Shimin had thoughts about this fish.

"Son, you..."

"what happened?"

"We..." Concubine Yang wanted to say something.

But Li Yin said: "I see, it's fine. By the way, I have some other fish, do you want to take a look? Then you can take it back and eat it, but other fish cannot be eaten raw."

"Really? That's great." Empress Changsun said.

"Follow me! Some fish are not easy to bring up."

Li Yin said so.The two wondered.

What fish still needs to be moved?

But they didn't ask, but followed Li Yin downstairs.

when they got downstairs.

There is an existence similar to an aquarium.

Li Yin walked to the front, and the two followed behind.

At this time, Empress Changsun pointed to a big fish and asked, "What kind of fish is this?"

This is a big fish, covered with a layer of silver-gray carapace, like wearing a silver cloak.The head is as big as a triangle, the eyes are like small discs, and the eyeballs are black.

Li Yin looked at the fish and said, "This is a halibut, and it weighs more than [-] catties! It is [-] meters long, and it is one of the biggest fish in the sea."

"Is this fish delicious?" Concubine Yang asked.

"Halibut meat is mild, slightly sweet, less fat, garlic clove meat, suitable for various cooking methods. Halibut cheek meat is considered the most tender and is highly regarded. It is white in color when cooked, sweet and tender, slightly Vanilla scent!"

"Vanilla scent?"

"Yes."

"Then this fish can be eaten for a long time."

Empress Changsun said again.

"Yes, I will send you one back."

Li Yin said immediately.

So this one is probably going to take a long time.

Then they saw a smaller fish on the other side.

Its body is elongated and slightly flattened, the tail is tapered backwards, the head is big and the mouth is big.There are many irregular brown and yellow markings; the belly is off-white, and the fins are gray.

"what fish is this?"

"This is cod, the heaviest of which can reach a hundred catties. The meat of cod is white and tender, thick and with few thorns, and the meat tastes sweet, clear and not greasy!"

"Snowfish? It's a good name!" Concubine Yang said.

That's true, the name is nice.

Then it is delicious.

"Min'er, this fish is bigger, what kind of fish is it?" Empress Changsun saw another bigger fish, she asked.

Li Yin took a closer look and found that the fish was long and round.It is thickest in the middle of the body and tapers at the rear with a very thin tail.The fins are small and the tail is crescent-shaped.

"Oh, this is tuna! Compared with halibut, it is heavier, up to [-] catties!"

"Tuna, the name is so unique, is it delicious?" Concubine Yang asked.

Empress Changsun said: "Min'er's fish is naturally delicious, see what you asked."

Li Yin smiled and said: "The meat of tuna is fresh, smooth and tender, and it melts in your mouth. There are many ways to eat it, such as eating raw, fried in oil, braised in brown sauce, etc. Among them, eating raw is considered the best, and the fish head and tail are grilled. It is a classic way to eat, and the canned tuna in oil is also very delicious.

Because the needle bones of tuna are thick, the effect of making soup is particularly good.Some tuna can also be made into sashimi, which has a more unique taste and is somewhat different than salmon.But the taste is very good. " Li Yin said again.

So the three of them saw three kinds of fish, all of which were very big.

It makes people feel a little depressing.

I really didn't expect that there are such big fish in the world.

Of course, this is because they are not at the beach. If they were at the beach, they would often see such big fish, even whales, which are the biggest. Although they are not fish, they are like fish. To shock them.

"Can we really take these fish back?" Empress Changsun asked again.

"of course."

"But what if you can't finish eating?"

"If you can't finish eating, divide it into pieces first, put it in the refrigerator, take it out when you want to eat, and this fish must be kept at a low temperature, otherwise it will easily spoil."

At this time, Empress Changsun said again: "We originally wanted salmon, but you see, you gave us this other fish. How embarrassing."

"Ma'am, it's too outlandish for you to say that. Looking back, I want him to promote this fish, which is a good thing for Datang's economy." Li Yin said so, and the two understood.

"Okay, we will definitely tell His Majesty!" Empress Changsun said.

The two stayed for a while, then left and returned to Tai Chi Palace.
