Chapter 930: The Cultivation of a Family

In later generations, the harvest of Ulan began in July in China, but in Champa, it took two months before the harvest began, and the trees began to fall in May.

The locals pickle them with salt, fry the olive kernels in hot sand, and then take them out to make nuts or extract oil.

Of course, Su You is not greedy for the body of the olive at all, he is greedy for the pit of the olive.

The olive kernels of Wulan are very large. Su You collected a lot of large kernels and planned to take them back to have skilled hands make sculptures of the kernels. Then he took them back to Bianjing City and asked Monk Daolong to pay for them.

This is a very good creative material. Wang Shuyuan of Changshu in the Ming Dynasty was the first to use olive stones to carve the boat for "Dongpo's Night Tour of Red Cliff".

The famous work "The Story of the Nuclear Boat" by Wei Xue reflects Wang Shuyuan's pioneering work of carving the nuclear boat.

There is also Xia Baiyan of the Ming Dynasty who carved sixteen babies on an olive stone. The child's body is only half a grain of rice. "The eyebrows and eyes are full of joy and anger. Or he carved a mother with nine chisels, a lotus with nine birds, and its wings are bent and flying away gracefully."

The state is formed in a small core of a square inch." He is known as the holy hand of the moment.

To be able to achieve this level, in addition to the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, the material itself that carries the art work is also unique.

There are no obvious lines on the olive stone, both on the surface and inside. The texture is fine, tough and meticulous. It is easy to use a knife and can carve fine crafts as thin as a hair. There is no obvious color difference at different depths, and the artistic expression is very strong.

The core is moist and contains oil, so it can quickly become rosy and patina after playing with it.

This category of art originated in the Ming Dynasty. When Su You was engaged in the intangible heritage industry, he also inspected the Zhoushan core sculptures and generally knew what it was about.

Nowadays, the craftsmanship level of Shu workers is no less than that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in another time and space, and they can completely reproduce the craft of core carving.

And for the people of the Song Dynasty who like to play elegantly and sell coconut beads at sky-high prices, olive pit micro-carving crafts will definitely become popular.

Pork tripe, if processed according to the current Champa people's method, would be simply poison. Only Su You can turn it into delicious cold shredded tripe, three delicacies tripe strips, stir-fried tripe...

Well, people don’t eat these. According to Wang Zhen, aren’t the half-a-catty prawns in Jiuzhou Port delicious?

There are also dolphins, "Bottoms and fish tails, sweet and fragrant, the best in the sea."

How greedy am I to want to eat wild boar belly? I will get you a dolphin for Shaobao after we get down from the mountain...

Then he was beaten up by Su Youhai. How can you chew such a cute animal like a dolphin?! How can you chew it?!

Wang Zhen found it amazing that a top foodie like Su Shaobao was not interested in delicacies such as dolphins, bear paws, elephant trunks, orangutan lips at all. He recommended several precious ingredients, but all he got in exchange were seaweed.

For those ingredients that are readily available but not so good in taste, Shaobao works tirelessly on how to turn them into delicacies.

Oh, I understand, I understand, because not everyone can afford delicacies, and Shaobao's goal is to turn ordinary ingredients into delicious food and make it a "delicacy" that everyone can afford. This is the great Shaobao

Protect your goals.

Su Mingrun is born with a kind nature, and I can't deceive him if he is sincere...

Wang Zhen suddenly felt that compared with Su Shaobao, she was so small, so humble, so greedy, so corrupt...

In fact, this is entirely Wang Zhen's own over-interpretation. For example, muntjac is also very cute, but Su You is not obsessed with dolphins. He thinks the crispy and sweet muntjac meat is cuter.

There is also soft-shelled turtle. To be precise, the soft-shelled turtle from Hengshanguan should be called Shanrui. It is also cooked with soy sauce and made into a rich red sauce. The taste is quite good.

It should be said that these are habits and obsessions brought over by later generations.

After Wang De finished firing a hundred rounds of bullets in five days and turned the magic gun and the wheel gun into fire sticks, the group went down the mountain and arrived at Jiuzhou City.

Guns and ammunition are strictly controlled in the Ninghai Navy. If Wang De wants to use them in the future, he will have to write a note for approval and apply for a "Guard Holder Certificate".

Jiuzhou has been the capital of Champa for hundreds of years and has many historical sites.

The temples in the city include both Hindu and Buddhist temples, but the ancestral temple of King Cham is somewhat similar to that of China, a hodgepodge of multicultural fusion.

There were still many elephant stakes outside the city that had not been pulled out, and Wang Zhen was also a thief. The elephant stakes outside the city gate in the north were nailed to bamboo poles to build wooden buildings, which became warehouses.

The one in the south was tied with bamboo poles and became the pen for the livestock market.

On the west side, wooden boards were put up directly on top, and it became a stall selling supplies, becoming the location of the silkworm market and grass market.

Chen Tian chuckled and said, "No wonder Jiedushi and Young Master are so good at talking to each other. They are both masters who can make flowers out of waste."

Wang Zhen said with a bitter face: "Old General, you are happy, but after one battle, I made a deficit of one and a half years, a total of one hundred thousand guan! What can I do if I don't think of a way?"

The southwest corner of the city was still in a state of collapse, and both sides were burned black.

Su You looked at Wang Zhen: "Is Jiedu pretending to be poor? Who are you showing this scene to? Why don't you repair the city quickly?"

Wang Zhen smiled and said: "I owe Chen Gong 70,000 yuan. I can't raise it at the moment. Shaobao, this time we occupied the city and entered the Song Dynasty, it turns out that the royal family has a lot of property, right? Can... this

…Take it from the people and use it for the people?”

Su You chuckled and said: "If you want to put it this way...well, now that the separatist rule has ended, I think this city wall is of no use anymore."

"Since Jiedu is not satisfied and has no money to repair it, let's just demolish it. I will make an announcement when I enter the city soon, asking the people to take the masonry for the city wall and use it to repair their own houses. It is also recycling waste!"

"Take it from the people and use it for the people. Jiedu's suggestion is very good!"

"No, no, no, no..." Wang Zhen was so frightened that she waved her hands quickly: "That's not what I meant, Xiu! Just fix it now!"

Su You then said: "As for the tax issue in Champa, the agricultural tax is divided into two and a half, but the commercial tax has not been determined yet."

"Jiuzhou is a big port. In the past, Jiaozhi and Meizhou were subject to a 10% tax on ships passing through. If you have your own ship, it will be easy to develop people's livelihood and trade. Isn't it easy?"

"Don't always focus on other people's pockets. The best way is to develop yourself, right?"

"What does Shaobao mean..." Wang Zhen's eyes lit up: "Can my family also participate in shipping?"

Su You said: "To sail and trade in the South China Sea, ships need to be registered, registered, numbered, and flagged at the Yunzhou Shipping Department."

"To conduct legitimate business activities, you cannot be both an arbiter and a participant."

"Leave the customs affairs of the original Jiuzhou to Yongning Shipping Office, and the Municipal Shipping Office will pay the lease fees for warehouses, docks, etc. to Jiuzhou every year. And your large fleet can participate in shipping."

"The purpose of my visit this time is to clarify the division of ownership between Jiuzhou Port and the city's shipping affairs, so as to avoid trouble in the future."

Seeing Wang Zhen's expression starting to get entangled again, Su You said with a smile: "Don't think bad things about Jiedu. Now that the city has been returned to the Song Dynasty, the income of the Shibo Division is part of the imperial tax revenue. Anyone who dares to covet it will not do it."

It will end well."

After that, he explained the operation method of Meishan Salt Well to Wang Zhen: "Earning as much money as you can, and at the same time making contributions to the country and benefiting the people, is the way for a family to be stable and prosperous."

"Meishan Jiangqing and the prominent Qiantang family are the role models that Jiedu should learn from. No one can say for sure that in a hundred years, the reputation and influence of the Wang family in Jin'ou County will still be weaker than theirs, right?"

Wang Zhen is a smart person. Now she understood Su You's intentions and nodded: "Shaobao has been thinking long and hard. I understand."

At the city gate, countless people lined the streets to greet him. They were the most grateful people to the Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, many people in the four counties of Nanhai worship Longshi Shaobao in their homes, with the exception of Jiuzhou City and Hoi An Town.

They worship Erlang Zhenjun, but Erlang Zhenjun's three-pointed two-edged sword is different from that of Zhongtu. The middle point is missing and it is still held backwards. Su You thinks it is a variant of the divine machine gun.

Five hundred grass-headed gods sat down, with bows and no arrows. It is said that they shot projectiles.

Fortunately, Cao Nan was very honest in front of Su You. Firstly, the Shi family returned to the ranks of the real nobles, and they were distant relatives. Secondly, Cao Guojiu had been on friendly terms with Su You a long time ago.

You are the nephew of Cao Guojiu. The third child graduated from the Royal Institute of Technology, and Su Xiaomei is his supervisor.
