Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 339 Teach them to use eight pieces of crab

Zhangsun Wuji's family is worthy of being in business, and they soon had an answer: "I think I should send someone or personally wait for the arrival of the ship at this port."

"The answer is correct, but there is no reward." Wang Pingan joked.

Changsun Wuji scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you dare to moles the old man."

Li Er said: "Even so, so what, this has no effective wealth income for the entire Lingnan and the entire Tang Dynasty."

"Returning to Your Majesty, what you see is just a surface. The businessman must not come alone when he comes to the port. He must have brought a group of servants or helpers. They need food and lodging, right? At this time, the business of restaurants and inns will start to pick up." up.

It is impossible for the ship to arrive on time, and it may be delayed by a day or two, or ten days and a half months. At this time, the merchant and his group of helpers will have nothing to do and will definitely stroll around the port, and other industries will also be stimulated.

In order to save costs, businessmen will build workshops in nearby villages and towns or cities. At this time, there will be more people, and other industries will be driven.Such a constant cycle, let’s talk about whether this has any impact on Lingnan and Datang.

Weichen estimated that almost all the merchants in Tang Dynasty will arrange a shopkeeper at the port of Lingnan, just to facilitate the first-hand purchase of goods at sea. As long as they are one day late, they will spend several times the price to get them again. to this batch. "Wang Ping'an talked eloquently.

After listening to Wang Ping'an's words, Li Er and the others fell into deep thought again. This time they were thinking about the benefits of the court after the establishment of the port, and how great the benefits would be.

However, Wang Ping'an's new figures made everyone's eyelids twitch.

"The imperial court can set up a customs department, which is responsible for checking whether the import and export ships have smuggled prohibited items, and can also collect customs duties. I believe that after getting on the right track, a customs duty can collect 3000 million yuan in taxes. If commercial taxes are added, 5000 million is not a problem."

"Okay, according to your words, send people to Lingnan to build a port. Haha..." Li Er laughed heartily as if letting go of a big stone in his heart.

"Your Majesty is wise!" At this moment, Changsun Wuji and the four flattered him.

Wang Pingan continued: "Your Majesty, there are two things to pay attention to when traveling at sea. One is the weather at sea. The weather at sea is unpredictable. It is sunny at first, but it may turn into a storm immediately, so our ships need to be strong and large. , Another one is the pirates at sea, they are more threatening than the weather at sea, if they are targeted by pirates, the whole ship may be killed. So we need a strong navy.”

After staring at Wang Ping'an for a long time, Li Er said slowly, "Ship? Navy? Datang doesn't have these two things at present."

"That's right, so we need to build ships and train troops."

"Shipbuilding? Troop training? It's not as simple as you said." Du Ruhui said.

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to say. It's just a matter of money. Ships can be built with my funds to build a shipyard. Soldiers must be trained by those who know how to train sailors, and then let them go to sea to fight pirates. If you have nothing to do, you can go out to sea in a boat and experience the strong winds and waves on the sea. I believe that in three years, Datang’s first navy will be established, and by then, the sea will be the world of our Datang.” Wang Pingan said boldly.

"Okay, I will give you three years, and you will build me the first navy of the Tang Dynasty. Just ask what you need. Three years later, I will build a port in Lingnan, and I have already thought about who will be selected by then." Alright." Li Er said in a non-objective tone.

"This, well, I will obey the order." Wang Ping'an suddenly felt courageous again. The academy, the hospital, and the Lingyan Pavilion Hall of Heroes under construction were enough for him to toss about. For the mission, he now wished he could slap himself in the mouth and let himself talk too much.

Li Er said with a satisfied smile: "Okay, I'm done with business, now go to the imperial dining room to see the hairy crabs in your mouth." After speaking, he looked at the eunuch who was holding the hairy crabs.

"Yes. You might as well call the prince. I believe the prince will also attend the banquet tonight." Wang Pingan said.

Li Er randomly nodded and said, "That's right." Then he ordered a eunuch with him to invite Li Chengqian.

Soon everyone came to the imperial dining room. At this time, the hot hairy crabs were out of the pot. Looking at the red and fat hairy crabs, Wang Ping'an immediately drooled.

He said: "Your Majesty, this is the hairy crab that has been steamed. Its meat is delicious and delicious. There are two ways to eat it, one is to eat it directly with your hands, and the other is to eat it with a special crab eating tool. Eat it with your hands Fa, I call it Wuchi. I eat it with tools, and I call it Wenchi. Now I will demonstrate it to everyone."

After finishing speaking, he held a hairy crab in his hand, opened the crab shell, picked out the crab paste in the crab shell with chopsticks, dipped it in the prepared sauce, and put it in his mouth in one bite. A satisfied smile appeared again .

Li Er and the others and the imperial cooks in the imperial dining room swallowed their saliva, thinking to themselves: "Is it really that delicious?"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Pingan removed the inedible parts with his hands, and then broke the hairy crabs into two sections.Then grab half of it and start to eat it with the sauce.

One bite, the delicious and delicious crab meat made Wang Ping'an couldn't help but want to chew it all the time, so as not to let him eat it.

It only took Wang Pingan a few minutes to solve the problem of asking for a hairy crab, including the crab legs.

After eating a hairy crab, he wiped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is Wu Chi. Eating it with your hands is fast but wastes a lot. Now I will introduce you to eating crabs with tools."

He took out eight pieces of crab, and said again: "First of all, let me introduce to you, this eight piece of crab is specially used to eat hairy crabs, here are crab pot, crab scissors, crab needle, crab spoon, crab hammer, Long-handled axes, crab claws, and picking stools are best cleaned with boiling water at high temperature before use."

When Wang Pingan was about to sterilize the exit, he quickly changed the two words to cleaning. He sighed in his heart: "Fortunately, I changed it quickly, otherwise those old-fashioned guards would definitely put a knife on my neck when they heard the poisonous word. Wanxi and the others slipped their hands, it's not a joke."

Wang Pingan picked up a crab pot, poured the sauce into the crab pot, and said, "This crab pot is a container for the sauce. You can adjust it yourself to see what kind of sauce you like, but don't let it taste delicious. The sauce made it a little worse."

Li Er and the others watched Wang Pingan pick up the sauce, and they took an empty bowl and started to mix the sauce.

In the second step, Wang Ping'an used scissors to cut out the hairs on the crab's legs and claws, and said: "Hairy crabs have a lot of hairs, and the scissors are used to cut these hairs off. Knock the lid off."

Wang Pingan kept talking and moving his hands. The crab cover was opened, and then he dug out the crab paste with a crab spoon, dipped it in the sauce, handed it to Li Er, and said, "Your Majesty, you Why don't you try the best part of the hairy crab."

"Okay, let me try this crab paste that you call the most delicious." Li Er took the crab spoon and was about to put the crab paste into his mouth.

"Wait, Your Majesty's old slave hasn't tried it yet?" Li Er's accompanying eunuch dutifully stopped Li Er's urge to eat crab paste.

Wang Pingan rolled his eyes, admiring the eunuch's dedication, but Li Erque didn't think so, pushed him away, and cursed: "Go as far as you can." After speaking, he put the crab paste into his mouth inside.

"Well... delicious, delicious, it really is the best in the world." Li Er praised in satisfaction. He never thought that the crab paste is so delicious, which made him feel that all the things he had eaten before could not compare with the small bite of crab just now. cream compared.

Changsun Wuji and the other four knew that the hairy crab was very delicious when they saw Li Er's admiration and that satisfied smile.

Next, Wang Pingan taught them while eating, and Li Chengqian also joined in learning how to eat hairy crabs with tools.

After finally eating a hairy crab, Wang Ping'an reassembled all the crab shells, and a hairy crab appeared in everyone's eyes.

"You, your matter..." Changsun Wuji asked in surprise.

Li Chengqian also asked curiously: "Ping An, how did you do it?"

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "Eating hairy crabs is a kind of enjoyment, and it is also a state of eating, and this is the highest state of literary eating. It is not a skill to eat a whole hairy crab. We can eat it with two hands." Finish.

But this is the folk way of eating, and it is also the way of warriors. For the superiors, only by eating out of my state can they have face. If your majesty can finish eating a hairy crab at the banquet at night, And complete assembly, then you can reflect that Datang is a state of etiquette. "

"Your Majesty, Wang Ping'an's words are justified. I suggest that you should practice more first." Du Ruhui said.

Wei Zheng said, "Waste Your Majesty fighting for half an hour just to eat a hairy crab. It's a waste of time. I suggest that eating with food is not as good as eating with martial arts."

Fang Xuanling said: "Master Wei, if it is normal, the old man agrees with you, but tonight's dinner will not work. His Majesty's dinner tonight will be Feng An."

"This..." Wei Zheng was at a loss for words.

Li Er said: "Okay, you don't need to argue, the banquet will use hairy crabs in the evening, and the decree will be passed on, crabs are food, and the cooking method and usage method will be advertised to the world, so that all people in the world can eat it." This delicacy, by the way, increases a kind of food for the common people."

"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Pingan felt that everyone was sincerely praising Xie this time, because he himself was sincerely praising Li Er this time.
