Chinese dining table

Chapter 158

When a huge dining hall covering an area of ​​more than ten acres appeared in front of Yunchu and Di Renjie, neither of them showed any exaggerated expressions.

Even though it was already past the meal time, the place was still crowded and noisy.

The women working in the canteen in Jinchang Fang were obviously very tired, and under the urging of the diners, they had to barely maintain the speed of filling them.

"Don't shake it, you want the big one, shake it, keep shaking it, if you fucking shake it again, I can only eat beans."

"Baby, I'm watching, you go to fill the soup, don't shake your hands, take your time, make it thick and not thin..."

"Don't fucking drink glutinous glutinous rice. This is a trick of the canteen. If you drink too much glutinous glutinous rice, you can't eat it. We take fifty renminbi and eat bamboo chips. Eat more meat and eat less worthless things. , take it, eat another duck leg..."

Even Di Renjie, who has long been accustomed to eating canteen food, still has the urge to salivate when he sees the browned meatballs covered with fat and fried.

A hand stretched out involuntarily, and took the shallow pottery bowl containing four meatballs.

After sweeping his eyes, he found that the place where the meat was originally placed was empty, so he sighed and said to Yunchu: "There should be no limit to such things as meat."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "There is no way, how much you cook is not enough to eat, do you know that the price of pigs around Chang'an has been raised by you, especially those pigs that have been castrated and raised on clean food, hurry up!" It's hard to find a mother's pig."

"Are people in Qujiang helping you raise pigs now?"

Yunchu sighed and said, "If you raise too much of this stuff, you will get plague easily, but if you raise too little, it's not worth it. In the past, people ate rice bran and bran, but now it's not enough to feed them all to pigs.

I had people buy a lot of beans, squeezed the oil and made them into bean cakes to feed pigs, and I was warned by the censor who was wandering in the countryside. If it wasn’t for the fact that my pork is really delicious, I would even be convicted of this. . "

Di Renjie got himself a bowl of rice, poured the meatball soup on the rice, looked at Yun Chu who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Beans are a rare thing for people to eat, so you feed them to pigs. I also impeach you."

After Yunchu waited for Di Renjie to eat a bowl of rice and four egg-sized meatballs, he said, "You didn't eat this much before. I remember, the first time you came to my house for dinner, how many bowls of rice did you eat?"

Di Renjie tapped the small bowl of rice in front of him and said, "Four bowls of rice twice as big as this one."

"I remember you said you weren't full yet?"

"Yeah, I'm not full, I'm still hungry, it's just that my stomach can't hold it."

"You just ate a small bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables, and you seem to be full."

Di Renjie frowned and said, "The appetite is getting smaller and smaller, but the person is getting fatter."

Yun Chu chuckled, the most important function of the canteen food is actually fattening. Back then, he ate in the school canteen for four years, and he gained a lot of weight. It’s not that the canteen food is delicious, but the main reason is that it’s too oily, like His morning snack, steamed buns stuffed with lard and cabbage, he can eat twenty of them in one sitting.

"Do you know how many ducks these people ate just last year?"

Di Renjie looked at the piles of stewed duck meat in a large basket, calculated in his mind, and said, "One hundred thousand?"

Yun Chu laughed and said, "You underestimate the appetite of the people of Chang'an too. Five hundred ducks will be killed in just this canteen in one day."

Di Renjie said in surprise: "In one year, 20 ducks?"

Yunchu said: "20 ducks is not too much. Now, if you go to Qujiang Pond again, you will find that the ducks have almost covered Qujiang Pond. Now, as long as there is a pond, there will be ducks." exist."

Di Renjie said strangely: "Why not use chicken, I always think chicken is better than duck."

"If the duck meat is cooked well, it is also a top-notch delicacy, but now there is no need to make those fancy things, and it is too busy to deal with these middlemen who are not Guishou and scholars.

Ducks have plenty of bait, and they can find food in the wild without feeding them. With a small amount of feed, they can serve it on the table in half a year.

The chickens are not successful, the feeding time is too long, and food is wasted. "

Di Renjie thought for a while and said: "Last winter, someone was selling cotton-padded jackets filled with duck feathers. After wearing them, they looked very bulky, but they were very light and very warm. Even the price of five pennies a piece was really unbelievable." accept.

However, this thing is very popular in Pingkangfang, but it seems that all prostitutes will wear it, enter the teaching workshop with earth dragons, take off the bloated duck fur clothes, and wear light gauze clothes inside... tsk tsk , this business is not yours, is it? "

Yun Chu nodded and said, "My family is the only one with so many duck feathers in this world, so the business is naturally mine."

"Wouldn't it be Gongsun who wore the duck sweater first?"

"Of course it's Gongsun. I've been doing business with my family for the past two years, and I've saved a lot of money. I'm planning to open a "Sword House" by myself. I heard that I'm buying a girl suitable for sword dancing.

Naha wanted to go, but I beat you up. These days, I don't like my eyes, which caused you to be affected. "

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "Naha is no different from my sister, this is nothing, let alone rude.

I'm wondering now that when you do things, you often just start with a start, and then a series of industries will naturally be derived later.

Open a canteen, then grow vegetables, raise pigs, raise ducks, and then make duck wool clothes, what will appear in the future? "

Watching the servants in the dining hall take away the plates, Yun Chu, Di Renjie got up and left the dining hall, walking slowly into the alley lined with green bamboos.

When passing Tongban's house, Yunchu pointed to the closed door of Tongban's house and said to Di Renjie, "Do you remember Tongban?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "How can you not remember?"

Yunchu took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie flipped through the book and found that it was a copy of "The Analects of Confucius". Seeing that the handwriting on the book was clear, there was no sticking, no ink bleeding, and the gap between words was appropriate, he couldn't help asking: "This is the copper plate they use at home. Can the movable type produced by the seal be able to reach this point in the book now?

Although it is not as good as engraving and engraving, it is still better than Yin engraving books. "

"People are currently researching movable lead type. After the movable lead type comes out, Jinchangfang will dedicate this craftsmanship to the Imperial Academy, and then get the permission to print books from the Imperial Academy. Jinchangfang will be able to open a very large, very large If you write a book in the future, you can print it here, believe me, it is cheap and fast.”

"Why is it Jinchangfang instead of other people's copper plates?"

Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and laughed loudly: "Because I tied the seals together to be lazy, and found that I could make up a sentence, and then there was a copper plate that wanted to engrave all the words into seals, and then arranged them according to the needs. Books can be printed."

"You never seem to care about the secret recipe."

"Are you making money with secret recipes? Is my money not enough? Change an official position? I have never planned to be a high-ranking official in my life. I just want to be a real low-ranking official. Since I can get that position with my own ability, why should I?" How about such a helpless way of exchanging?"

"Being a petty officer?"

"That's right, if I'm the county captain of Wannian County, will I be in charge of all the security in Wannian County?"

"Yes, it's up to you."

"Since it's under my control, nothing should happen in Wannian County."

"You mean anything illegal?"

"Yes."

"Doesn't it include the illegal things you are going to do?"

"That is nature! I will use the least power to the greatest extent."

"In the past, Jinchangfang was a dish on your table, and then Qujiangli became a dish on your table. Now, are you going to put the whole Wannian County on your table?"

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "I have a relatively big appetite."

Chatting with friends you haven't seen for a long time is the most enjoyable way to make people happy. Whether it's depression in life, troubles at work, or ambitions hidden in your heart, you can expose them to the sun.

After talking to Di Renjie all afternoon, Yun Chu felt that his mood had opened up a lot. Anyway, all the garbage was dumped to Di Renjie, and he felt relieved.

The Yun family has become less like a home, how should I put it, it is more like a factory plus a dormitory.

The formerly exquisite Yunjia is now full of goods, some of which are even piled up to the height of the roof.

'If it wasn't for the fact that there were three nests of swallows under the eaves, Mrs. Cui probably wouldn't have missed that eaves.

The cleanliness and tidiness that Yun Chu is so proud of is almost invisible in Yun's house. No matter how clean the duck feathers are, there will always be some duck's unique smell.

"Our family should build a bigger mansion. After Langjun's high school, we will start immediately. I asked those craftsmen, and they said that as long as the materials are prepared, there will be six construction teams working together. Two One month is enough to build our house."

Every time Yun Chu felt dissatisfied with his family, Cui would immediately come over to comfort him.

Yun Chu looked at the chubby Cui who was urged by power and money, and said, "Don't destroy our family just for money."

Cui swayed her small fan and said with a cooing smile: "Look at what Lang Jun said, who would think that money is too little?"

Yun Chu squeezed Cui's third layer of fat chin and said: "In the past, I was always worried that your body was too thin, but now, I began to worry that one day you would definitely be fat to death."

Cui patted Yunchu's hand and said: "A girl needs to be fatter to look good. Look at the second fat, the third fat, the fourth fat, the fifth fat, and the sixth fat, and they all look round and beautiful."

Yun Chu looked around, and saw women as fat as footballs bouncing around in the yard.

It's not just the first ten people who bought in the family who got fat, even the women who bought later, except for a few who couldn't get fat naturally, the rest are developing horizontally like crazy.

Yunchu knew that this was all the result of eating at the restaurant. These people, who had been plagued by hunger for decades, had no resistance in front of food. It took them more than two years to unknowingly turn themselves into I got a fat man.
