Chapter 69 Food Prices
After eating, Qiao Yun packed up the dishes, put on a cap for Yun Xuemei, and went to Ding Shi Ji with her with the seasoning bottle.

Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei came to the gate of Ding Shi Ji Restaurant, and saw that the door of the restaurant was open, but the chairs inside were still buckled on the table, clearly not yet opened.The guys from all walks of life were busy mopping the floor and playing ashes.

When Dr. Cha saw someone coming to the door, he hurried up to greet him and said, "I'm sorry, guest officer. The shop is still in preparation, and it won't open until noon at least."

Qiao Yun quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm not here for dinner. I made some novel spicy seasoning myself, and I want to see if you accept it here."

While talking, he uncorked the chili powder bottle in his hand and showed him.

Dr. Cha glanced at the seasoning, bowed with crossed hands, and said, "I can't make a decision on this matter, I have to report it to our steward Ding. You two wait here for a while."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran to the backyard.Not long after, he ran back again and made a gesture of invitation: "Our manager promised to come and see your seasoning for a while. But he is busy buying fresh vegetables right now, you two will follow us first and rest later. "

On the side of Dingshiji restaurant leading to the backyard, there is a small building, which is a small room for the guys to rest.The kang and kang tables were set up along the wall, and they were kept clean and tidy, without any peculiar smell.

Dr. Tea led the two of them here, sat down, and brought a cup of hot tea to each of them.He bowed again and said: "The steward is busy in the yard, and he will come in after a while. You two should drink tea and rest for a while. I have to go ahead and direct the group of boys to work."

"It's okay, you can go to work." Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei also respectfully blessed the body.

Qiao Yun was in awe of Dr. Cha's actions.Look at their service attitude, the owner of such a big restaurant is second to none, and the shop is still a national chain, but there is no airs at all.Look at that broken makeup shop again, what kind of spectacle is it!

The old house called Chang'an Shichunji was pulled out in her heart and stepped on again.

What I saw was Steward Ding who was busy collecting the ingredients.The person who came to deliver the food had just left, and there were baskets of cabbage and radishes in the yard of the back kitchen of Ding Shi Ji.In the northern land, in the cold winter, there are only vegetables such as late cabbage and radish that can be eaten.At this time, there was a Orion pulling a cart full of game, all of which were live animals. A young man was negotiating the price with the Orion; A clerk came up to bargain with them.

Yun Xuemei took a sip of tea with her teacup in her hand, she couldn't help being surprised, she smacked her lips: "Oh, it's actually rouge incense."

Seeing this, Qiao Yun quickly picked up the cup, blew on the hot air, and took a sip, her eyes brightened.

The tea drinking habits of people in the Tang Dynasty were quite different from those in modern times.

The picked tea leaves are steamed and made into small tea cakes, which are then dried over fire when drinking tea, crushed into tea foam and then cooked.Different kinds of tea leaves also need to add various spices when making tea.Such as salt, green onion, ginger, jujube, orange peel, dogwood, mint, etc. If you are extravagant, you can add some pepper.

It was the same with what she saw in the game, and it was the same with the tea she drank in the magistrate's mansion.

As a result, she didn't drink a sip of tea after she came here, she either drank honey water or boiled water.

This cup of tea is very similar to the fried tea of ​​later generations.

The entrance is indeed clearer and sweeter than the tea that I have drunk, and it seems to have a special sweetness, but the sweetness is fleeting, and people can't help but want to take a second sip and a third sip to catch it. .

Seeing her confusion, Yun Xuemei explained to her: "This rouge incense is produced in Yangzhou. It is a tea garden bought by Mr. Xie in Yangzhou. It is a specialty of Dingshiji. The tea picker must be a 15-year-old girl. The two cherry lips hold the tea leaves from the tea tree so that they will not damage a bit, and they will rub a layer of rouge made of mint leaves, rose sugar, peach stamens and other flowers on their lips, the sweetness you drink The taste is the smell of rouge, so it is called rouge fragrance. It can be regarded as a unique experience in Ding Shi Ji."

Qiao Yun was speechless again and again: "You will enjoy it! How do you sell this tea?"

Yun Xuemei recalled the days when she was a maid in the Jiannan Jiedushi's mansion after she changed her appearance. At that time, it seemed that the Jiedushi's mansion would go to Yangzhou along the Yangtze River to buy a batch of rouge incense every year.

"I remember...it seems to be four hundred Wen for one or two tea leaves."

I go!

Qiao Yun gasped.

One or two tea leaves are comparable to a gourd chicken in Ding Shi Ji!

"Such precious tea? The guy poured it for us?" Qiao Yun couldn't believe it, and she hesitated to put down the teacup.

You won't have to pay after drinking tea!

Yun Xuemei took another sip from her teacup, savored it carefully, and then shook her head.

"The first ten sips of tea picked by the rouge-flavored tea-pickers each day can be regarded as top-quality tea. If you pick too much, the rouge on your lips will become thinner. The rouge fragrance in this tea is too weak, and it may be 25 sips. Left and right defective products."

Qiao Yun nodded half-understood, sipped tea slowly, and looked at Guanshi Ding who was busy outside the shop.

The person who came to deliver the food had just left, and there were baskets of cabbage and radishes in the yard of the back kitchen of Ding Shi Ji.In the northern land, in the cold winter, there are only vegetables such as late cabbage and radish that can be eaten.At this time, there was a Orion pulling a cart full of wild game, all of which were live animals, and a young man was negotiating the price with the Orion; A clerk came forward to negotiate with them.

Steward Ding himself was buying grain from the guys in the grain store.

"Remember two hundred dou of white flour and two hundred dou of rice first." Guanshi Ding looked at the clear sky and sighed, his brows filled with worry, "This year's snow is a little heavier than in previous years. , although the summer wheat can be harvested abundantly, it is hard for the people in the spring.”

The little guy at Fengtai Grain Store wrote down one stroke at a time in the ledger, took out the abacus from under the creaking nest while making two strokes, and made a crackling call: "The rice harvest in the south this year is also good, and the price is the same as last year. The manager How much coarse grain do you want?"

Guanshi Ding sighed, walked up and down the yard with his hands behind his back, and finally said after a while, "Add two hundred buckets of millet noodles and two hundred buckets of yellow millet."

"Okay. This year's white noodles and rice are ten yuan a bucket. Millet noodles and yellow millet are still last year's six and five yuan. There are a total of six and two hundred yuan. I decide to wipe out the fraction of the two hundred yuan for you." .”

Guanshi Ding said with a smile: "Good boy, why haven't you wiped such a big change on me before?"

The little boy smiled honestly and closed the account book: "We are also regular customers! Our shopkeeper said that this way of doing business can last a long time, let me learn more!"

Qiao Yun's eyes widened.

She knew that the rice sold in the grain store in Quwo County was the fine rice that had been milled several times.A bucket is ten pennies, and a catty of rice is only about one penny?

It's so cheap too!

When Qiao Yun went to buy rice for the first time, she just packed a bag and asked the clerk to pay after weighing it. She didn't even calculate the price of the grain herself.Now that she heard the steward talking to the grain store guy, she knew how outrageous the price of her Chaoshi store was.

But according to what she heard from the workers at the dock, they work as coolies on the dock. If their jobs are stable, they can get [-] yuan a month, half of which can be used to buy rough grain, which is enough for a family of six to enjoy. Take it for a month and it's pretty good.Therefore, the buns sold by Qiao Yun's house were not unaffordable.

However, it is taken for granted that no one cares about her wontons.

Who is a long-term worker who would be so stupid as to use two buckets of fine rice to eat a bowl of wontons!The emperor and I can't be defeated like this!
