The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 41: Hehua fish

Yunyan replied: "I have heard that farmers in the mountainous area of ​​Guangnan use paddy fields to store water and raise carp. Carp grows in rice fields and grows by eating rice flowers that fall into the water in cold water. Compared with fish in rivers, the meat is more delicate and tender. , the fish has fewer bones, and it eats grass flowers for a living, and the fish has the aroma of grass flowers. Therefore, this fish is also called grass flower fish."

Farmers around Bianliang mainly focus on planting and animal husbandry. Most of the fields in Daxiangguo Temple are also used to grow various grains, vegetables and fruits, which are cultivated by monks.

Most of the fish eaten by Bianliang people are shipped from other places, and the price is relatively high. The local fish is neither abundant nor of good quality, so the market is not very good.

However, if the meat quality can be solved, and there is ready-made land, there is no need to buy additional land to open a pond for cultivation, and local fish do not need to be transported, and the price has a natural advantage, wouldn't it be wonderful?

The abbot applauded and sighed: "If there is such a wonderful thing, then it is perfect for us!"

In this age of underdeveloped information, it's hard to know what's going on in such a remote mountain area.

As a matter of fact, although the mountain area around Guangxi was called Guangnan as early as the Tang Dynasty, it was already known in the Qing Dynasty. At this time, the farmers in the origin may not know as much about farming as Yun Yanhui.

The monks only thought that Yun Yanhui had learned about it from a merchant in Guangnan. How could they know that he had eaten it in Guilin a thousand years later?

Yun Yan replied: "Yes, I have also heard some specific methods. If you think it is feasible, you can buy fish fry and try it out. The best time to raise fish is when the flowers of summer and autumn are blooming. The fish also grow up very quickly."

The great monks look at me, I look at you, and said in unison: "Then brother Yan will take care of this matter!"

……

The abbot instructed Yun Yanhui to take care of the breeding of Hehua fish. The monks who planted the dozens of acres of rice fields were all under his unified control during this time, and they could also mobilize the monks nearby.

Yunyan recalled asking someone to take him to the rice field to check on the spot. The rice field on the outskirts of the city is continuous at the foot of the mountain. It has always been irrigated by mountain springs. The water quality is cold and meets the requirements.

Yunyan asked back to the monks who have been farming here. The rain is still abundant this year, and the land is considered a good place. After he saw it, he had a good idea of ​​how many fry he needed, and then he consulted with a fish dealer. Buy carp fry.

Yun Yanhui didn't want to put too close together. After all, the crops and the carp were to make a profit together, so about 500 of them were prepared per mu, and the monks were asked to choose healthy fry.

This is also the largest trading market in Bianliang as the Daxiangguo Temple. Ordinary merchants are unwilling to have bad relations with them, and of course they will not deliberately pit them and sell bad fry.

As for the paddy field, preliminary disinfection, digging fish trenches and fish pits are to be carried out. Yun Yan returned to arrange for monks, and it was completed within a few days. Fish trenches in the shape of "Tian" were dug in the rice fields, and fish pits were dug at the corners of the fields. When the water is stored, the carp is put in it.

Because of the need to supervise these work, there is a distance between the suburbs, so Yun Yanhui simply brought a few monks to live in the hut next to him, and Zhisheng was also brought by him.

Although Zhisheng is in the establishment of a vulgar lecturer, Yun Yanhui only asked his two older brothers to come to power. This time, he took Zhisheng with him when he was doing fish farming. In the future, if possible, he also wants to take Zhisheng to the festival management office.

In the first few days, Yun Yanhui will take these monks with them, teach them how to inspect the fields and fish pits, combine fish farming and farming, and allocate time reasonably.

This is actually equivalent to an extra job, which makes the monks a little unhappy.

However, Yun Yanhui had expected this for a long time, and asked the abbot for instructions. He told the monks that when the Hehua fish came into the market in the future, the temple would pay them bonuses based on the benefits of the areas they were responsible for.

The incentive will be high when there is a bonus, and when they think about it, when this brother Yan helped the layman to start his career, those people were very happy and made a lot of money. It will be bad. This work is still done, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

In addition, Yun Yanhui never relied on the fact that he was appointed by the abbot, and because he was still young, he would only stand in command. Therefore, the monks were convinced of this child, and there was nothing more to say.

……

Yun Yanhui lived in the field for more than half a month. After everything was on the right track here, Fang took Zhisheng back to Daxiangguo Temple to resume his life.

Because of the poisonous exposure to the sun every day, Yunyan's face turns red when she returns at night, and when the red is finished, it turns black. After so many days, the originally white and tender child has become black and thin. When he smiles, his teeth look extra white.

The same is true of Zhisheng, who has become a black and beautiful girl.

The abbot was taken aback by Yun Yanhui. He didn't expect him to be so sincere. After all, his previous work didn't need to be so hard. Who knew that he could endure hardships, and he didn't look like a child of the same age at all.

After listening to Yunyan's reply, she clearly reported who did the transaction with these days, how many fry were stocked, how much labor was spent, etc. The data is very clear.

The abbot didn't care about any of these things. Yun Yanhui took the money to buy the fry from the very beginning, and then when he came back, everything was done. Now he basically waits for the fish to grow up. The maintenance of the temple has been taught to the monks, and there is no need for the abbot to pay any attention.

The abbot just felt very caring. There are so many chores in Daxiangguo Temple. If there are more people like Yan Ge'er who do things like this, he will really worry a lot.

The abbot is very happy, "Brother Yan has been working hard for more than a month. Seeing that you are much thinner and darker, it is clear that Junior Brother and Mrs. Zheng should feel distressed. You will continue to put it away for the festival management and go to rest. For a while."

Yunyan replied simply and went home with Zhisheng.

When I went back, I almost scared Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping was at home, Yun Yan went back into the door, smiled at her against the light, and called her mother, only to see her teeth gleaming.

"..." Zheng Ping took a long time to admit, "My son, is that you?"

"It's not who I am," Yun Yan returned to lack of confidence, "yes... I got a little tan."

Can this be a point? Zheng Ping couldn't hold back her tears, she rubbed Yunyan back into her arms, "Son, why is it as black as a piece of charcoal? Didn't the abbot send you to raise fish?"

"Is it really that dark?" Yun Yan touched her face depressedly, "It's ugly?"

Zheng Ping glanced at her and then looked at her again. No matter how much she liked her son, she couldn't say that it wasn't ugly, so she nodded with tears in her eyes.

When Shuangyi and Xiaobao came back, they also agreed that it was extremely dark, especially the obvious color difference with the body, which was very unsightly.

Yunyan said back to her heart, it seems that I am still different from Gu Tianle, and everyone can't accept a change of color. Who said that black is not beautiful now, so I honestly went to find out, and hoped that he would prescribe some whitening medicine.

I was also taken aback when I knew it, so I hurriedly prescribed some medicine, and looked at it for a long time, "Let's buy some more facial cleanser."

"As for it?" Yun Yanhui even doubted that this facial cleanser is an ancient facial cleanser, which removes oil, removes acne, moisturizes and whitens the skin. shop.

Since the doctor said so, Yun Yan went back to buy some facial cleansers and used them both internally and externally. He was not doing well. Anyway, Zheng Ping stared at his face every day to see if he came back in vain.

Zheng Ping also held Yun Yan back to prevent him from going out again, so as not to bask in the sun again.

Yun Yan went back to his home and continued to think about the future sale of Hehuayu. Although it can be imagined that sales are not a problem, in his opinion, Hehuayu is best made into a brand like the blue paper.

This is a way that can be developed for a long time. After a few more generations of Hehua fish, the quality will get better and better, and it can be expanded to other rice fields in the temple, which will increase production a lot. The brand will help Daxiangguo Temple. influence.

After so many days at home, Yun Yan came up with the idea of ​​killing two birds with one stone.

In order to prove it, Yun Yanhui wanted to do a market research again, but just as he was about to jump out, he was held down by Zheng Ping, "Brother Yan, don't look at your face, you are not allowed to go out. I ran away, and I'll take care of it at home."

"Mother, why do a man's face be so white!" Yun Yan panicked.

"Why not? The girl loves beauty. If you are born ugly, no one will want to marry you in the future. You are so ugly." I understand this, but you will be troubled in the future..."

"Mother, how old am I, you started to think about this?" Yun Yan replied speechlessly, "Can't think about it from another angle, if I achieve a career, even if it is pitch black, there are still young ladies who are willing to marry Mine."

"How could it be from a good family?" Zheng Ping poked his forehead.

Yun Yanhui covered her forehead and looked at her angrily, and took advantage of her unpreparedness to drill into the space under her armpit. Who knew that Zheng Ping was very alert. In his arms, he embraced the whole.

"It's really heavy, so I can't hold it." Zheng Ping hugged Yun Yan back and closed the door, "Don't blame mother, mother has to be responsible for your future."

Yunyan wanted to cry but had no tears, but she was locked up at home by Zheng Ping for half a month. After the circulation, Ping Bai returned a lot, and Ping Zheng allowed him to go out, but she told him not to expose to the sun again.

Yun Yanhui ran around the city of Bianliang for several days, doing market research and knowing what to do, Fang went to the abbot.

"Abbot, I already have a preliminary idea about the future sale of this Hehuayu. This may require the cooperation of the festival management office, and even the cooperation of the entire Daxiangguo Temple." Yunyan replied. .

In the eyes of the abbot, if you sell fish, isn't it just selling it at the fish market, or directly supplying it to restaurants, what other sales methods are there?

Yunyan replied seriously: "I think, I should launch it at the first International Food Festival of Daxiangguo Temple."
