Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Girls in this era rarely go to school.

When they were resting during the day or at night, Luo Hong would teach them to read and write, and everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, could learn.

Fang Chenxi nodded in agreement with what Liu Xiaolu said: "I also think it's not as delicious as what I've eaten before. If we make braised food and sell it, business will definitely be very good!"

Luo Hong and Qi Xin would also make their own braised meat during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, but they bought the marinade ingredients from the county town and they didn't know the recipe.

If you can make your own braised meat recipe, it will definitely be a good business.

"If we can make better-tasting braised meat, this business can be done."

"Aunt Tan, Aunt Zhao, what do you think?"

Mrs. Tan's knowledge was still not as much as Mrs. Zhao's. Seeing that Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything, she didn't know how to speak either, so she gently nudged Mrs. Zhao with her arm.

"Aunt Zhao, please tell me!"

"Brother Liu, I haven't eaten much braised meat before, I think this is already very good."

Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and said, "I also know a braised pork recipe, but the taste is almost the same as this one. If someone has a braised pork recipe, they will not let outsiders know it easily, even if it is a hired cook.

He also has the right not to tell others about the recipes he knows. Most people know very ordinary recipes. If you, Brother Liu, have a unique recipe, you can try it out.

I will write down the recipe I know. You can also make a comparison. But the recipe I know is not a good exclusive secret recipe. Many chefs in wealthy families know it. "

"Okay, we'll try it out when we have a chance to finalize it. Now it's also an attempt. As for what to do in the future, we're all constantly exploring and accumulating knowledge along the way. Once it's finalized, we can start implementing it. It saves some time."

Qi Xin: "We usually cook some home-cooked dishes at home. We don't know how to cook other special dishes. I guess we can only help in this regard."

Mother Liu: "It's okay. We can only cook home-cooked dishes. But Lao Liu has a wealth of theoretical knowledge. We can slowly practice it later. Many things cannot be forced. Just do what we are good at."

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone left the restaurant after Liu's father paid the bill.

This is the only chance to take a good look around the pier.

The wharf is very large and is several hundred meters away from the market. There are many people on the dam, as well as many horse-drawn carriages, mule carts and other means of transportation.

The porters came and went, working hard to carry boxes and bags of goods.

Although there are some bosses and supervisors who urge the hard laborers: "Hurry up, don't dawdle..."

"Be careful. If the item breaks, you won't be able to afford the compensation even if you sell it..."

Fortunately, there was no scene of abuse or beating.

Father Liu mainly wanted to understand the current situation of the canal transportation. There were too many people in their group, and it was obviously unrealistic for them to all wander around the dock.

There are just too many people. There are so many people and goods here, and the traffic is already very congested.

It became even more crowded when a group of about twenty people joined in.

"The two women have gone to look after the mule cart and the horse carriage. But there are still too many of us. Zhang Hu and his son and Lin Weizhong and his son will stay behind. Old Luo, you take the others and wait over there by the horse carriage.

On the way back, we tried to find out some things at the market. A few of us went to the edge of the pier to see if there were fewer people there and we could find out some information.”

"This arrangement is fine. I also think there are too many of us. A lot of people were looking at us just now. Everyone else, follow me."

Father Liu led the four people along the pier to the east and came to the last ship in the east.

After observing for a while, he chose a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.

He looks like the manager of a certain household.

Workers have been arranging for them to move the goods.

Taking advantage of a certain free time, Liu's father brought Zhang Hu and his son over to chat with them. The reason why he brought Zhang Hu with him was because he was a local and had been a bodyguard in the past, so he had dabbled in both land and water transportation.

"You will act according to circumstances and mainly learn about the usage of the dock. We also want to operate transportation on this river in the future, and docking is a key issue."

"Uncle Liu, I have a general understanding of the use of the dock. Don't you want to know about their sources of goods?"

"You know? You can't just ask about the source of goods if you want to. First understand the basic situation. These large sources of goods cannot cooperate. We can open up some small sources on our own in the future. We can also become a source of goods in the future. I also heard that there are gangs in the field of water transport? Are there any here?"

“Yes, but I don’t know much about the gangs here. When I was in the West, the biggest gangs couldn’t even rank here.

A lot of money is spent every year to maintain relations. The power between one continent and another is always due to geographical factors.

However, the greatest power is definitely the power of the imperial court. The imperial court's water transport department is in charge of the entire port of Dayuan State, and the Ministry of Revenue will collect taxes from the water transport every year. No one can surpass the power of the imperial court. "

Of course, this is a very normal thing. Liu's father could easily imagine that there must be official forces involved.

"That means the civilian power is basically limited to one state? For example, there are eight docks here. How are the ownership and use rights of each dock divided?"

"Uncle Liu, I really don't know about this. The docks in our west are generally owned by the imperial court in half, and some merchants or gangs own the other half.

It should be that the imperial court entrusted the construction of this dock to a certain force or merchant. After the dock was built, the imperial court gave half of it as the cost of building the dock.

However, the taxes that should be paid each year are still collected as normal, and the rent for renting out the dock is collected by them themselves."

Father Liu nodded. This is the same as some modern situations. If a country wants to develop some places, it will cooperate with developers and sell some land. The developers can sell half of the houses built, and use the other half to resettle residents or for the development of municipal projects.

"Huzi, you know a lot. I should have asked you more before, so I wouldn't have had to make another trip."

"Uncle Liu, I don't know much, but I can still go and ask. After all, this is probably the largest dock in the counties along the river, so it's necessary to understand some of the forces here."

"Okay, let's find out more about it."

"Weizhong, you and Keyu wait here for a while. The three of us will go over there. I'm afraid he will feel stressed if there are too many people."

"Okay, I'll walk around here."
