Chapter 2064: The Second Sea Route

Chapter 2064 The Second Route to the Sea

The flow of people made this place a city that never sleeps. After reaping the benefits of trade, Panlong City did not impose a curfew even during the war.

"There are more customers, and they have more sophisticated tastes. The pressure of running a restaurant in Panlong City is huge now, it's really different from before!" The fat white man's face was full of indescribable words, "Look at the baked buns in Jufulou in the past. They have the same taste for ten years without any change. As soon as they come out of the oven, people line up to grab them. Now, hehe, you have to come up with a new flavor every three months, otherwise the customers will stop going."

He Lingchuan didn't bother to pay attention to him. This fat man always complained to him, it was like this back then and it's still like this now. People who didn't know would think that he was going bankrupt due to years of losses.

As businessmen, they always report bad news but not good news, and complain about troubles but not happiness. He Lingchuan knows this very well.

As soon as they entered the elegant house and sat down, the first dish arrived. Even He Lingchuan didn't notice when the fat man placed the order.

The tender white fish meat is sliced ​​and arranged, and topped with very finely chopped green herbs, which looks very good.

Sun Fuling took a bite and praised it highly:

“Fresh, glutinous, and with a very special flavor!”

impressive.

People living near the lake and the sea have long been tired of eating raw food, so they have to think of changing it up. No wonder the fat man's business is so popular. The taste is really outstanding and it is currently the only one of its kind.

“Is this also raw fish?”

Sashimi is raw fish slices. He Ling has tried many ways to eat it, including pickling, mixing, and dipping. But this looks...

Not like.

"This is vanilla sashimi, our restaurant's exclusive signature dish, a must-order for every table." The fat white man introduced enthusiastically, "Panlong City specially introduced a new species of fish from several snow lakes on the Chiba Plateau, called golden scales. The meat is sweet, tender and plump, and is especially suitable for making sashimi."

He Lingchuan hummed.

After opening up to the outside world, Panlong City has been carefully introducing good things from the outside world. In addition to liberalizing the circulation of ordinary commodities, the most important livestock reform is the introduction of new breeds.

Panlongcheng has introduced and improved new varieties of chickens, cattle, pigs, ducks, as well as some crops, fish and insects to improve quality and yield.

People are no longer satisfied with just having enough to eat, they also want to eat well.

He Lingchuan sincerely hopes that the quality of life in the Golden Plains can reach this level as soon as possible.

"But we are a fresh food restaurant, and our way of making fresh sashimi is different." The fat white man said seriously, "We use a powder made of nine kinds of spices and herbs to coat the large pieces of fish meat, and then let it sit for twelve hours, then you can take it out and slice it. It's great to eat it this way without dipping sauce. Of course, you can dip it if you want-"

He took out a small dish of milk sauce: "Dip it in this."

He Lingchuan also took a piece of fish sashimi to taste, and it was indeed delicious and had a special flavor: "Your seasoning powder is good."

"Of course, this is our exclusive secret recipe that we have been researching for several years."

The fat white man looked mysterious: "One more small detail that I never tell anyone: the fish meat must be suspended and cannot touch the container, otherwise the juice that seeps out will be pickled back and it will not taste good."

He Lingchuan understood immediately, isn't this maturity?

Two more appetizers were served at once, and then the steaming lamb hotpot arrived. The aroma filled the room before it was even served.

A little fat lamb with skin, sixteen months old.

Sun Fuling smiled and said, "No wonder you call this place the Freshness Restaurant."

There are fish and sheep.

The fat white guy was also tactful. He told the name of the dish and quickly left.

General Hu Yi came to his restaurant to dine today, and everyone in the restaurant knows about it. Wouldn't it be a great honor for him to go out?

Sun Fuling asked He Lingchuan: "Did this border patrol go smoothly?"

"We caught hundreds of horse thieves and fought a battle with the people of Jiao State." He Lingchuan picked up a piece of mutton with skin and blew the hot steam. "Huh, the food in the city is still delicious. When I led the troops on the grassland, I had boiled mutton every day."

Boiled means literally, boiled in water. Even if it is made of real ingredients, eating it once or twice is satisfying, eating it seven or eight times makes you feel full, but eating it 10 or 20 times will make you sick of it. "Even your burps smell like boiled mutton."

"Is Jiao Guo here to steal horses again?" This is a new worry that has only appeared in Panlong City in the past year.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has revived, and the original Panlong wasteland has now become Panlong grassland. The original low shrubs have been replaced by green grass, and there are lakes, rivers and trees. Although the soil is not as fertile as the Maohe Plain, many places have developed large meadows, and alfalfa, wild wheat, sheep grass, white grass, pine grass and whip grass are growing wildly, all of which are the favorite food of livestock.

This is excellent grassland, suitable for horse grazing.

The source of horses for Panlong City used to be a big problem. The wasteland produced too few horses, and the outside world was blocked, so the city could only buy them from the pastoral tribes in the west and south, such as Jiao State. Now, Panlong City also has its own ranch, and the quality of the horses is excellent. This horse anxiety has finally been solved.

As a result, it is now the herdsmen from Jiao State who come to steal horses.

Zhong Shengguang negotiated with Jiao Guo several times, and the other party had a good attitude. He said that these were all good things done by the herdsmen in private and they would definitely strictly control them.

However, the good horses in the southern pastures were still stolen one after another. Two or three times was fine, but five or six times was unbearable! So, taking advantage of the recent peace in the country, Zhong Shengguang simply sent He Lingchuan to the south, under the pretext of training troops, but actually patrolling the border.

When He Lingchuan was exiled to the southern ranch, he also raised horses and trained soldiers at the same time, so he was very familiar with the south. As soon as he arrived, he quickly caught the horse thieves' patterns of action, figured out their routes of advance and retreat, and then asked someone to set a trap and wait for them.

What came was not a rabbit, but a wild boar.

The gang of horse thieves is not large, but they are of high standard, because they confessed that the backers behind them are the nobles of Jiao State. However, they are hiding in the country and will not show up in person. Even if this group of horse thieves is caught, they can still send other people to enter the country to steal.

Sun Fuling listened and said thoughtfully, "If we take the upper level route and Commander Zhong puts strong pressure on Jiao State, this matter will definitely be resolved. However, Panlong City is actively developing a second sea route that passes through Jiao State's territory. Commander Zhong probably doesn't want to offer such a small condition in the trade route negotiations."

He Lingchuan was slightly surprised: "Are you looking for a second place to go out to sea? When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

He only went south for a month, so how come it seemed like he was cut off from the world for a year?

"You were all at war for some time, so news not related to the war would not be sent to the front. Then you went to the south." Sun Fuling nodded, "The negotiations on the new trade route have been advanced for half a year."

Panlong City had to negotiate with all the countries and regions that this trade route passed through one by one. Most regions believed that this was a mutually beneficial move, but some wanted to take advantage of the special geographical location and make a profit.

"Let's talk about the horse thief." Sun Fuling was anxious to hear what happened next.
