Chapter 146 Potato Vermicelli
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The growth cycle of potatoes and sweet potatoes is very short. In summer, when the temperature is high and the sun is sufficient, a large pile can be grown in less than three months.

However, compared with corn, rice and wheat, potatoes and sweet potatoes have a big disadvantage-they have high moisture content and are difficult to preserve.Sweet potatoes are prone to mold, and potatoes cannot be stored for too long, and they are prone to germination or rot.

Xianyue Village mainly grows potatoes, so the potatoes that were not eaten by everyone in time were developed into a new product by Song Qingyue: potato vermicelli.

Although six catties of potatoes can only produce one catty of vermicelli, the remaining filter residue can be fed to chickens, and can also be mixed with cattle and sheep feed, which is not a loss.

Song Qingyue asked Zhuangtou to bring samples of vermicelli to various restaurants in the capital to sell them, and also included four recipes: stewed pork vermicelli with sauerkraut, hot and sour noodles, dry fried mutton vermicelli, braised fish head stewed vermicelli, and asked Zhuangtou to tell the restaurant that the recipes were not good enough. It is used to attract jade, how to make potato vermicelli, let the cooks of those restaurants try it themselves.

On the second day after Zhuangtou returned to Zhuangzi, buyers from the six houses of Zuixianlou, Xiankelai, Laibinlou, Chongyizhai, Danyange, and Liuquanju came to discuss the purchase.

It was inconvenient for Song Qingyue to come forward directly by herself, so she nestled in the cave by the pool where she rescued people at the beginning to enjoy the cool air.

It's the end of June, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. It's really not easy to live without air-conditioning in summer. Fortunately, Song Qingyue has allocated this cool cave to her Zhuangzi area early. If the sun is not too strong outside, she is afraid of the sun, and she can still go to the lake. Swim in.

The hut on the other side of the woods was very lively. Zhuangtou honestly told the purchasers of several restaurants that the output of potato vermicelli was only enough to supply two restaurants!
Liu Caimai from Zuixianlou immediately yelled: "So, Wu Zhuangtou, I will give you 100 taels from Zuixianlou to buy your potato vermicelli. How about it?"

Kong Caimai from the Laibin Building immediately refused to agree, and said eagerly, "We also offer 100 taels from the Laibin Building!"

The person who came to Chongyizhai was not just a buyer, but the second boss, who was rich and powerful, directly took out the banknotes from the sleeve of the pipa and put them on the table: "500 taels! But, you only teach us Chongyizhai!"

Although the purchase of Danyan Pavilion does not have the right to use so much silver taels, it does not mean that he can sit back and watch Chongyizhai buy out and make prescriptions. , even if the family gives 100 taels of silver, Wu Zhuangtou can earn at least 600 taels, who are you trying to bury with these 500 taels?"

"Who are you? How do you talk?"

"Hey, why did I say something? Am I wrong?"

……

Seeing from both sides, they were about to roll up their sleeves and start a fight, and the third leader of Cyclamen would know how to be a man. While asking his subordinates to help pull people away, don't fight, and bowed his hands politely to Wu Zhuangtou: "Wu Zhuangtou, For such a big matter, I wonder if you want to ask the owner?" Then he looked at the buyers of several other restaurants, "Stop arguing, the owner may not want to sell the production method?"

Several people glanced at the third head of the Cyclamen at the same time, no matter how angry they were, they had to suppress it first. It was said that the owner of the Cyclamen had people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they had to show some face.

But it doesn't mean that the boss is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he must let him go. Which boss here has no background?Let's talk about the Danyan Pavilion, it was the dowry of Jing Guogong and his wife!With the imperial concubine and the two Prince's Houses as the backers, even if the House of Internal Affairs meets, they will still have to give them two faces.

Here, Wu Zhuangtou wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed his hands to everyone, and said with a naive smile: "Masters, such a big matter, the small ones really can't be the masters, and I would like to invite you all today." Let's take a rest in the villa for now, and I will give you an answer tomorrow after the little old man asks our master."

These people looked at Wu Zhuangtou suspiciously. The second master of Chongyizhai wanted to ask Wu Zhuangtou who your boss was, but when he glanced at it, he saw that there seemed to be a very transparent layer on the plum blossom lattice window behind the gauze curtain. Colorless glass!

hiss--

He took a deep breath, he came in in a hurry just now, he just wanted to buy something earlier than the others, but he didn't pay attention to it, the owner of this Zhuangzi has a background!

In fact, it's no wonder that these buyers don't know who Zhuangzi's owner is. The main reason is that there are too many Zhuangzi in the vicinity, and they all want to dig coal after Song Qingyue dug coal.

Since it's a well-established owner, it's not easy to ask casually, you can only inquire slowly by yourself.

However, not all of these six restaurants know who the owner of this Zhuangzi is, for example, Xiankelai and Liuquanju know.

The owner of Liuquanju is King Su, so of course he knows.

Why does Cyclamen also know?

Because cyclamen will enter beef from here from time to time.I don’t know the secret method of Su Wang Shizi’s Zhuangzi raising cattle. The meat of the beef is very fat and has a snowflake-like texture. When it is cut into pieces and roasted casually, it will be full of oily fragrance. Just eat it with salt and pepper, it is the best. tasty.It's a pity that the output is extremely low, and only one cow is slaughtered in two or three months, and the price is ridiculously expensive. However, the old gourmets in Beijing like this one, and they all need to make an appointment in advance, even if they have to wait for several months.

Who said there is no other place?
In fact, it was not intentional to make the output so low. The main reason was that the control of cattle in the Great Zhou Dynasty was too strict. Song Qingyue sold cattle mainly as farm cattle, and occasionally slaughtered a cow to sell beef. When reporting it, she only said They are frail cattle that cannot be plowed before they are sold. If the quantity is small, the government can turn a blind eye. If the quantity is large, the censor will be recruited.

The feed for those beef cattle is different. They are fed grains and grains with high starch content and low fiber content. The principle is the same as trying to make a person gain weight.
