Chapter 27

Ye Tian, Bibi Dong, and the others sat on the stone bench and ate breakfast around the stone table. Breakfast is very simple, fried dough sticks and spicy soup.

On the stone table, there are two plates of pickled vegetables, namely spicy shredded kelp and yellow croaker in black bean sauce.

Pickled vegetables are a sideline of the farm. The East China Sea is close to the coast, and there are not many other things, but there is a lot of kelp and yellow croaker.

During the slack season, the restless farmers would take their small boats and go offshore in groups to salvage kelp and yellow croakers.

Although their fishing technology is still very backward, after a hard month, they can not only save enough for daily use but also sell the rest to merchants, earning a small amount of extra money.

For coastal people, kelp and yellow croaker are the few vegetables and meat that can be eaten all year round.

Two years ago, after the establishment of Butterfly Farm, under the leadership of Chen Jian, he used the surplus funds of the farm to purchase several large boats. Since then, the salvage and fishing teams of nearby farmers have gradually professionalized.

Whether it is trawling specifically for catching fish, or the 'encirclement' tactic of hunting down schools of fish, they have come of age.

There are dedicated staff who go out to sea every month to salvage yellow croakers and kelp.

Today, this industry accounts for nearly half of the farm's income.

The kelp and yellow croakers salvaged at that time were all dried and sold directly.

The kelp is okay, after being soaked in water, the taste is almost the same as when it was just fished out.

But the yellow croaker is no good. After drying, the taste is dry and tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to discard it.

After Ye Tian learned about these situations, he thought of the pickle-making process on Blue Star.

Pickled vegetables can maintain the freshness of dishes to a certain extent.

Before that, he got a lot of crop seeds from the system, among which happened to be commonly used seasonings such as pepper and soybean.

And under his name, there are large workshops such as the salt farm. Salt, which is expensive in the eyes of ordinary people, is no different from sand in his place.

Utilizing these, a new industrial chain will soon be formed. Thus, the Pickle Workshop of Butterfly Farm was born.

Moreover, the never-before-appeared seasonings such as chili and fermented soybeans quickly captured everyone's taste buds.

People rushed to buy so that pickles were in short supply.

Today, pickled vegetables are synonymous with luxury even on the coast of the East China Sea, where pickled vegetables are produced.

In distant places, scalpers can even sell a bottle of pickled vegetables for an expensive price of dozens of gold soul coins.

Facing Ye Tian, Hu Liena's chopsticks barely stopped.

"Mmmmmmm!"

His mouth was stuffed full, and he was still whimpering indistinctly.

"Crispy and refreshing, is this really kelp? It's so delicious!"

Looking forward to a small plate of spicy kelp shreds, I saw the bottom.

Only then did Hu Liena reluctantly turn her gaze away from above, and looked at Ye Tian in amazement?

"And this fish, why have I never eaten it?"

This scene made Bibi Dong next to her laugh.

"Nana, it's only been two days since you came to the coast of the East Sea. The teacher sees that you've gained a lot of weight."

"what!"

Hu Liena hurriedly lowered her head to check and patted her stomach, which was still slim and well- proportioned.

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief, not panic, the problem was not serious.

Ye Tian was soaking fried dough sticks in the spicy soup, and said with a smile: "Sister Nana, can't you even tell the difference between kelp and yellow croaker?"

"But the taste is completely different! Especially the yellow croaker, which has a fresh and salty fragrance that melts in the mouth. It is definitely not the taste that yellow croakers can produce." Hu Liena's eyes lit up, she reached out and tapped the plate with her chopsticks, expecting. : "Is there any more?"

"No." Ye Tian gave Hu Liena an angry look, "You can't eat too much pickled vegetables."

He slowly picked up the bowl containing Hu spicy soup, took a sip of the hot soup, and said: "This is the taste brought by different seasonings."

"The taste of yellow croaker in black bean sauce is actually mainly black soybeans. The spicy seaweed shreds are a unique flavor formed after fermentation of seasonings such as pickled peppers, garlic, and peppercorns."

"Huh? Why haven't I heard of it?" Hu Liena was full of doubts.

In her cognition, the only condiment seems to be salt.

Ye Tian smiled: "It's over if it's delicious, and if you don't understand the truth, it won't affect your taste buds to capture delicious food."

"It's not bad." Hu Liena grinned, with a struggling expression, picked up a deep-fried dough stick, ate it, and said in a vague voice, "Brother, if you sell such delicious food, you can earn a lot of money."

Nah!"

Ye Tian put down the chopsticks in his hand, and praised: "You have a business sense!"

Chen Jian, who was standing behind him, explained kindly: "Miss Nana, in fact, pickled vegetables have long been popular in the cities around the East China Sea. Almost every batch of pickled vegetables pulled out of the workshop will be snapped up within a day."

"That must be able to make a lot of money?" Hu Liena said casually.

Chen Jian smiled and said: "Not much, only a million gold soul coins will be credited in a year."

Seeing Chen Jian's calm expression of talking about millions, Hu Liena couldn't help but widen her eyes, blinked her eyebrows, and exclaimed, "Millions of gold soul coins!"

You know, the Pope's Palace supports the most elite Pope's Palace Knights, and the annual funding is only 100 million gold soul coins!

Doesn't it mean that Ye Tian can support the most elite knights on the mainland by selling pickled vegetables casually!!

"This... isn't this just ordinary yellow croaker and shredded kelp?"

Hu Liena was a little unconfident, she never thought that kelp and yellow croaker could be worth millions of gold soul coins.

This is not selling pickled vegetables, it's almost like stealing money!

"Things are rare and expensive." Chen Jianyu said earnestly: "In the whole continent, there is only a butterfly farm that can produce pickled vegetables, and the price is naturally expensive."

"However, with the expansion of the workshop, the price is also constantly decreasing. I believe that it will not be long before it can enter the homes of ordinary people. This is what Master Ye Tian hopes to see,"

Master Ye Tian often told him that it doesn't matter if he makes money or not.

The important thing is to be able to enter the homes of ordinary people.

It's just that the scale of production is too small now, and scalpers are too rampant. If the price is not raised, the money will only be made by the scalpers.

So instead of letting the scalpers make money, it is better to raise the price.

Wait for the output to come up, and then slowly drop it.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at Ye Tian with beautiful eyes and exclaimed: "Xiao Tian, your mind is truly invincible. Just two plates of delicious food can generate benefits worth millions of gold soul coins."

"It's all useless." Ye Tian smiled.

To be honest, selling pickled vegetables was just a whim at the time.

Almost never participated in the whole process. Chen Jian is responsible for the production and sales. The entry of one million gold soul coins a year is almost a drizzle for him.

While the two were talking, Hu Liena secretly ate another deep-fried dough stick while everyone was not paying attention.

Pretending to be nonchalant, he picked up the Hu spicy soup and drank it slowly.

Just entered.

Her eyes straightened.

What kind of soup is this?

Lightly spicy, strong aroma. Swallowing it into the stomach, there is a warmth coming.

This feeling!

She didn't expect that the breakfast on the farm, even the soup, was so exquisite!

In Wuhundian, her breakfast specifications can be said to be the same as the teacher's, and it is the most luxurious existence in Wuhundian.

But never had such a delicious breakfast!

Whether it's side dishes, main dishes, or this seemingly random soup, they all successfully captured her taste buds.

Hu Liena showed a moved expression, her face was flushed, and she looked at Ye Tian: "Brother, is this the breakfast you specially prepared for us? You really have a heart..."

Ye Tian, on the other hand, had a strange expression, leaning back and looking at Nana on the opposite side:

"Sister, what kind of eyes are you looking at? It's just a standard breakfast on the farm, nothing special at all."

 Hu Liena was dumbfounded, but she couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed. It turned out to be a standard breakfast...
