Chapter 338: [337] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 188 (3 more updates)

Land transport usually involves hiring an escort agency, while sea transport requires selecting the corresponding shipping ’company,’ because such routes typically operate on a fixed schedule and to set destinations.

Xiao Yu had thought about setting up her own shipping route, but her current capital was limited. She hoped that in this lifetime, she would be able to achieve that.

Thanks to her connection with Yan Qing, the opening of a sea route meant that Qingyang Prefecture would be closely linked to Beijing in the future.

In this way, more goods from the seaside could flow to Beijing, and the fine goods from Beijing could also be brought to Qingyang Prefecture, benefiting both sides mutually.

In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and since Yan Country was surrounded by the sea, people preferred to travel by water whenever possible, avoiding land routes. Consequently, sea routes were more developed than land routes because there were more ships and therefore more merchants coming and going.

With sea goods replenished in a timely manner, Xiao Yu soon launched nori tofu soup. This soup was incredibly fresh and delicious, particularly when paired with tofu; it was refreshing and smooth, irresistibly tasty.

To make their tofu stand out even more, she also introduced sizzling tofu, pan-fried to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, then topped with a sweet and spicy sauce, a flavor that was extraordinarily delightful. Every evening, stalls for stinky tofu, sizzling tofu, and spicy boiled vegetables were set up at the entrance of the restaurant, drawing an endless stream of customers for snacks, making the business so good that it made other restaurant owners envious.

But because the noodle shop operated on a small scale, and although it seemed to attract many people, perhaps a dozen customers could not match the profit of a single meal at a wealthy family’s restaurant.

If it weren’t for targeting the lower end of the market, it’s likely that these people wouldn’t be so hands-off and not looking for trouble.

After all, the backers of the other restaurants were either rich or noble; when it came to power, no one should be underestimated.

No matter how busy she was, the business did not suffer, and the farming in the space was not neglected. At Level 10, there were many crops that could be grown.

In addition to those planted on the island, she later added eggplant, red dates, chives, broccoli, tomato, peas, lotus root, rose, chili, celeriac, cucumber, walnut, pumpkin, strawberry, and apple. She would keep only a small portion of these crops for personal consumption, selling the rest in the space market for Gold Coins because upgrading the space required a lot of them.

So far, she hadn’t seen vegetables like broccoli, tomato, strawberry, chives, peas, lotus root, or celeriac in Yan Country. Maybe it was the wrong season, but even in the summer when they had come to Beijing, she hadn’t encountered them, so she guessed these seeds were not available to them, and hence they couldn’t grow them.

Therefore, when she grew chives in the farm’s greenhouse and used them to make dumplings, turning them into the specialty of the noodle shop, they became extremely popular.

Roses might seem useless on a regular basis, but if you make rose cakes with fresh petals, you’ll find how amazing they taste.

As for peas, there’s no need to mention—the pea cake is a classic and exquisite dessert.

If it weren’t for the current conditions, she would love to show these bumpkins her versatility and let them see what it feels like to grow beauty from the field!

She wasn’t fond of walnuts, neither fresh nor dried, but walnuts could be used to make many sweet treats, such as walnut cake, for example.

Seeds from the space could all be turned into delicious food. Sometimes she thought, in the next life, if she could open a private restaurant by farming in the space, serving customers for a limited time each day, it would be quite lovely, wouldn’t it? After all, the ingredients from the space were the freshest and most environmentally friendly. With this unique selling point, she could dominate the market. (System Announcement 1)

At that moment, Xiao Yu had no idea that an idea she had thought of casually would actually become the source of inspiration for her next life~~~
