Chapter 189 Bad brain
The Los Angeles Pier Headquarters is located southwest of Los Angeles.
The entire main pier is built by the water and backed by the mountains.
Except for the area near the canal, other places are stone forts. Looking down from the high stone fort, you can see masts and sails dotted along the river.
With sails fluttering and ship shadows interlaced, large and small ships cover a large area of the river, creating a magnificent scene.
Li Jiaojiao poked her head out when she smelled the fishy smell. Although she knew she had to go by water, she had never thought about aquatic products.
Now that I'm in Los Angeles, I remember that a city by the water naturally has abundant aquatic resources.
Then think about the only fish in her space...
No, she wanted to take this opportunity to purchase some fish raised in the small river behind the mountain.
If she lets them continue to reproduce, she will have endless seafood to eat, hahahahaha…
happy……
Li Jiaojiao was visibly happy, which made Lu Liang beside her a little puzzled.
It was probably going to rain. The whole city of Los Angeles was very hot and stuffy, making the already peculiar air even more smelly.
but……
"Jiaojiao... do you like it here?" Lu Liang looked at the various stalls on the roadside. Unlike other places, the roadside here was filled with wooden barrels, wooden basins, and various seafood.
"I like it. I like the food here. I want to buy some and take it back to grow some." Li Jiaojiao nodded. These were all delicious foods.
I just don’t know how big this canal is, and whether the place it connects is fresh water or sea.
I heard that this canal connects to the open sea in the north and the inland in the south, and is well connected. Luocheng is one of the best ports in the inland, so the water should be quite shallow, right?
If it is connected to the sea, there will be not only seafood but also sea salt.
Li Jiaojiao stuck her head outside, passed the guarding soldiers, and looked at the stall next to her.
The soldiers were brought by the mayor of Luocheng when he came to welcome the guests. Because he did not estimate the itinerary of the crowd, he did not clear the area, which allowed Li Jiaojiao to see so many stalls on the roadside.
The carriage she was riding in was relatively tall and occupied a larger area, and was relatively closer to the roadside stalls.
And you can see some aquatic products in their wooden basins.
Really, all kinds of fish.
She couldn't name most of them: long, flat, round, flowery, black, etc...
"Stop the car!" Li Jiaojiao shouted, and before the car stopped, she jumped out, lifted her skirt and walked in one direction.
Lu Liang got out of the car immediately and followed closely behind.
Their carriage was in front of the many other carriages, so when it stopped, the entire team stopped.
The prefect of Luocheng County had been annoyed by not having seen the Fourth Prince for a long time. When he saw the Fourth Prince and Princess Fuyao get off the car, he immediately followed them.
The crowd around them dispersed immediately, making way for Li Jiaojiao, who was at the front. Behind her were a bunch of big shots...
"Jiaojiao, slow down and be careful with your step." Lu Liang followed calmly and reminded her with a smile.
Li Jiaojiao didn't care about the people behind her and ran straight to her destination with her skirt lifted.
Just now, it flashed by and the two men lifted up a big black fish, if she was not mistaken.
"Boss, wait a minute." Li Jiaojiao spoke hurriedly when she saw the fish was about to leave.
The middle-aged man paused, turned around to look at the girl running towards him, and pointed a finger at his nose, "Me?"
"Yes, you, don't go, let me see your fish." Li Jiaojiao nodded, and took three or two steps to the front.
The man touched his nose, not knowing what "boss" meant, but guessed it was a nice title.
"Miss, you want to see my fish? Then move away, so you don't get splashed." The man motioned Li Jiaojiao to step back a little and pretended to lift the cover on the cart.
He originally wanted to close his stall and go home. His fish was big and many people came to see it, but no one wanted to buy it, so he planned to go back early.
The weather is hot, and it is difficult to keep the fish meat, not to mention that the fish is full of fish roe, which makes it too heavy.
If you really can't sell them, you can only share them with your relatives and friends, or eat them yourself, so it doesn't count as a waste.
But I must not catch such a big fish next time.
My wife is right. This fish looks like it is about to become a spirit. No one dares to buy it...
Seeing that the girl stepped back a little but her eyes never left his cart, the man carefully began to lift the covering cloth.
Li Jiaojiao was looking forward to it, her eyes shining, and she didn't even notice that there were many people following her.
It was not until the cover was lifted, revealing the entire big fish, that Li Jiaojiao let out a cry of surprise.
The fish is really big. It is estimated to be about 1.5 meters long and weighs about 200 kilograms.
It has no scales but five rows of bony plates distributed on the back, sides and abdomen.
The snout is flat with the mouth located on the ventral side; the nose is slightly upturned and triangular, with four tentacles hanging downwards.
The back is covered with light dark green spots and the abdomen is white.
Li Jiaojiao hurriedly stepped forward: "Are you selling this fish? Can you sell it to me?"
Isn't this fish a sturgeon? The kind of sturgeon that can produce caviar, and it is a relatively good variety of caviar.
It was extremely expensive in the previous life, and a bite of it was worth more than gold.
Moreover, the preparation of caviar is simple and requires the most primitive processing method, so she also knows how to make it.
When the man heard that the girl in front of him wanted to buy his fish, he was shocked. You know, his fish has been here for two days and no one has bought it. Seeing that the fish was about to die, he was about to give up, but someone actually wanted to buy his fish?
"Sell, sell, sell. Of course I should sell it, but the fish is so big..." The man rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly.
I don’t know whether the meat of such a big fish is tender or not, and whether it tastes good.
"That's great, I'll buy it. Please calculate how much it is." Li Jiaojiao didn't care about the size of the fish or the tenderness of the fish meat. What she wanted was the fish roe in the fish belly.
"Well, girl, our original fish is sold at 12 cents per pound. If you buy this one, I'll give you 10 cents instead of 7 cents. Is that okay with you?" The man looked at Li Jiaojiao with hope, fearing that she would suddenly change her mind.
Even if it was only 7 cents for such a big fish, he would have made a fortune.
"Bai Ze, give me the money." Lu Liang, who had been standing next to Li Jiaojiao, spoke.
His eyes were on Li Jiaojiao from beginning to end, and he could naturally see that she really wanted this fish.
Thinking of her eating whitebait at Longyin Mountain, Lu Ling continued to instruct Bai Ze, who had already stepped forward to hand over the money and fish to the man: "Take people around and buy whatever they can."
Bai Ze: ... "Yes, sir."
After the handover was complete, the man who received the silver said that he would deliver the fish to the young man and the young lady to their destination.
Li Jiaojiao bought the fish and left everything else to Lu Liang.
He took Bai Ze, Su Xin and the others for a stroll.
After all, it is a city by the water, so there are really many kinds of seafood, and people seem to know how to eat them.
There are actually a lot of seafood on sale.
Various fish, carp, mandarin fish, bighead carp...
Shellfish, shrimp, hair shrimp, whitebait...
Crabs, purple crabs...
And the lobsters that might be migrating by…
But I guess more people here eat fish, and some eat shellfish, but the number of people who eat lobster is probably the same as before, just like the sturgeon, almost none.
After walking all over the market, Li Jiaojiao finally saw a bucket of lobsters crawling around in front of an inconspicuous old lady's stall.
Moreover, the surrounding vendors all stayed away from the old lady after seeing her buy that bucket of lobsters.
He looked at her with a look that said, "This girl looks fine, but I didn't expect she has a problem with her brain."
