Chapter 360 You guys are too awesome
A few days after Taohua Village moved to its new home, a seafood shop opened in Junji Town.
This shop is close to the city gate, with two floors covering a total area of more than 400 square meters.
There are fresh and live seafood, as well as frozen ones, and of course, dried and cooked seafood.
Junji Town is inland, far away from the ocean. Many people have never heard of seafood in their lives, let alone seen or eaten it.
When they first heard that the Baijiabao Caravan had opened a new shop, offering an 12% discount on all items, and that the food was new and new, many people came to join in the fun and watch.
In rows of water tanks made of colored glaze, all kinds of seafood that people have never seen before are swimming leisurely in the water, blowing bubbles and playing.
"Hiss, what is this thing, it has such long legs?"
"Isn't this seafood? Could it be a spider from the sea?"
"What sea spider? Look at the sign on the tank. It's called a king crab!"
The man kindly read out the words on the sign, and immediately his eyes widened as he finished speaking.
King crab?!
When everyone present heard this, they all gasped, and even the legs and feet of the passers-by began to go weak.
The reason is simple. At this time, the emperor represents the supreme imperial power.
Someone actually dared to put the word "Emperor" on such a thing. This is undoubtedly disrespectful to the imperial family and can even be said to be a sign of rebellion.
How dare the Baijiabao caravan?
The scene was silent, and Bai Hemiao, with a loudspeaker on his waist and a fishing net in his hand, seemed unaware of people's panic and continued to introduce things with a smile.
"It seems that everyone likes the king crabs in our store."
"Then let me introduce it to you. This is a crab, but it is different from the river crabs we usually see in streams and rivers."
"This is a king crab. It lives in the sea and is the king of all crabs in the sea. There is no other crab bigger than the king crab."
"According to the king crabs we caught in Baijiabao, the largest one currently weighs 28 kilograms, and the maximum leg span can reach two meters."
"Of course, there are even bigger ones. King crabs are extremely difficult to grow, and their lifespan can be from ten to twenty-five or twenty-six years."
"This king crab tastes great and is considered a treasure among the sea and mountains. They mainly live in the deep sea and are extremely difficult to catch... A seven or eight pound crab can feed a family of five or six people."
Bai Hemiao: "At the moment, we only have eight in our store. Customers who want to buy them should hurry up, otherwise they will be gone."
Hearing Bai Hemiao say this, many people looked at her with complicated eyes, thinking that the Baijiabao caravan was really powerful and so bold.
Bai Hemiao pretended not to notice the gazes and went on to introduce the next kind of seafood.
She thought to herself, you all look so ignorant. What's wrong with king crabs? Who did the king crabs offend?
Why can't it be called king crab? Such a big sea crab, isn't it the king of crabs?
Our aunt said it was called king crab, so it was called king crab, and no one else’s opinion would matter.
If you are not convinced, then let our Baiyu Army compete with you? !
The word "King of Hell" has the word "King" in its name, and the word "Yandi" has the word "Emperor" in its name, so why don't the royal family members feel dissatisfied with this and go looking for trouble with King of Hell and Emperor Yan?
In my words, all the rules in this world are made by the strong. If you are strong enough, your words are the rules.
Isn't it because those emperors have enough power and status that they say that the whole world belongs to the king?
"This is sea bass. The meat is delicious. It tastes good steamed or braised."
"This is sea eel. The meat of this kind of fish is tender and refreshing. It is good for braising or stewing."
"..."
"You don't have to worry about not knowing how to cook the seafood we buy. Our staff will teach you the cooking steps. Just follow the steps when you get home and you will be able to make delicious seafood."
Changing the subject, Bai Hemiao continued to move to the water tank next to him and continued his introduction.
"The four water tanks contain four famous snails: the Mandarin Duck Conch, the Crowned Conch, the Phoenix Conch, and the Phoenix Tail Conch. Generally speaking, snails are the most convenient and easiest to cook. Let me briefly introduce two of them to you."
"Boil water and add a few slices of ginger. When cooked, take it out and dip it in a light salt and soy sauce. It is extremely delicious. You can also pull out the snail meat, remove the internal organs, slice it or braise it, etc. It is a very good delicacy."
"The ones in the water tank next to them are clams. They are relatively cheap and are delicious when stir-fried with spicy sauce or plain sauce. They can also be used to make soup. Winter melon and loofah are commonly used."
"By the way, everyone has eaten loofah, right? A lot of them were sold on the market a while ago." Shangcun and Xiacun planted a batch and took some to Junji Town to sell.
Vegetables are not more expensive than meat, and many people who have never eaten it are willing to try it, so loofah has become a well-known vegetable in Junji Town.
"The seafood in our store is expensive. After all, we have to go out to sea to catch it and then transport it here. The journey is long and the loss rate is high..."
Bai Hemiao added, "We don't have a lot of black tiger shrimp in our store right now, only 500 kilograms. Customers who want to try can ask our staff to catch them and weigh them."
"The two water tanks here contain prawns, also known as foot shrimps and five-color shrimps. They are generally about the same size and are cheaper than black tiger shrimps."
"Everyone, look at this. What's in this tank is not conch, but abalone."
Bai Hemiao said with a smile: "I believe some of you have eaten abalone, but they were cooked. Fresh, living abalone like this should be rare."
“Although abalone has the word ‘fish’ in its name, it is not a fish but a primitive marine animal.”
"These abalones are often measured in heads. If there are two abalones in a pound, it is called a two-headed abalone. If there are eight abalones in a pound, it is called an eight-headed abalone, and so on."
"As for abalone, the bigger it is, the more expensive it is. For example, eight or nine abalones per pound usually cost around 800 coins."
When Bai Hemiao said this, the eyes of many people who were listening to the conversation lit up immediately.
Rich people have always eaten shark fin, bird's nest and abalone, which are all top-quality nourishing supplements that ordinary people are not worthy of eating.
But now, in the seafood shop of the Baijiabao caravan, eight or nine abalones per pound are only sold for more than 800 coins, which is so cheap that it makes people drop their jaws.
It’s not that 800 coins are cheap, but when food that was previously out of reach for people suddenly becomes affordable for them, it naturally makes people excited.
Many people immediately decided to buy one or two pounds of abalone. They also wanted to try what the abalone, which was always eaten by dignitaries in the past, tasted like.
Bai Hemiao saw that many people had started to look for the clerk and asked to buy abalone. He smiled and began to introduce other seafood.
The reason why abalone is expensive is that fresh abalone is dried and expensive. This type of abalone has been processed and stored repeatedly, and its nourishing effect is better than fresh abalone. Of course, it tastes better too.
Here is the update, and I would like to ask for votes and collections. Ahem, there are not enough comments either.
