Villager of Daming

Chapter 268 Craftsmanship Improves Taste (Fourth Monthly Ticket Recommendation)
"Hanhan, there is no shortage of fish along the Yangtze River, but there is a shortage of good seasonings for making fish, otherwise it will be fishy. Many times, people cook fish and eat them in clay pots with little iron.

The fleet is small for the time being, and a lot of manpower has been recruited, but they can't go far out to sea, they just wander around. This year, a minister went out, Yang Zai, to Ryukyu.

I don't know if this trip will go well. He has been to Japan twice, but the result is not very good. Japan doesn't care about Japanese pirates!They call back and forth themselves. "

Zhu Xi dragged Hanhan along, talking while walking, introducing how the common people eat fish, and Daming's mission overseas, and told Hanhan about the war in Japan.

Zhu Wentian was in charge of listening, he knew everything, and he knew more than Zhu Xi.

The current Ryukyu is the future Okinawa. The Yuan Dynasty once sent people there, but they didn't give face.

But this time Daming went to the people, the locals gave face and sent people over at the same time.

This has been the case in history, and it is no problem now, because some of the things that Daming sells are sold there. If there are good things, the other party is of course willing to have a good relationship with Daming.

Zhu Xi didn't know this, so he continued: "Since the promotion of the sun-dried salt method, the price of salt has been reduced by half, and the salt that merchants get can get twice as much salt.

Salt is cheaper, and the price of salted fish is even lower.I don't know who came up with the idea, saying that Nanjing has a large population, so it is easy to sell it here.

As a result, they sent more than [-] catties of dried salted fish, but they couldn't sell it, and they were worried.

We are the prince of Ming Dynasty, so we thought of a way to make the people in the store think that someone suggested making fish meat sauce.

Sometimes you have beef and lean pork in your village, and you make meat sauce, which is delicious.

After research, we bought all the dried salted fish and made meat sauce. The common people are very willing to buy it and eat it as a vegetable when they go back, especially after the spring..."

Zhu Xing came here in his own way, imitating Xiaqiu Village's way of making other meat sauces, and made dried salted fish into fish meat sauce.

This one keeps for a long time and is salty enough.

Now when eating, use chopsticks to dip a little bit into your mouth, and use it as a dish, and when the vegetables come down, you can use meat sauce as a dipping sauce.

"Okay, reward! Mmmm!" Zhu Wentian said.

"Rewarded, rewarded ten pennies, but he was so happy, the others beat their chests, obviously they didn't take this king's words seriously.

Ten strings is almost their salary for a year. With heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Let's see who will not be dedicated in the future? "

Zhu Yu already knows how to use money to motivate employees, giving ten guan at a time.

The two talked and went in through the small door next to them. There was still a queue at the door to buy all kinds of things. Many people at the sauce window were shouting to buy fish sauce.

Sign up and write the address, pay the money, turn around and leave, waiting for the store to send someone to deliver it.

There are also merchants who come here with their hands to buy dozens of jars of fish meat sauce at a time, and give the money for the jars.

"Hanhan, look at the merchant, our jar is three pennies more expensive than the same jar outside, why don't you think he bought an empty jar to put it in?"

Zhu Xi saw the merchant buying fish meat paste and asked Hanhan.

Zhu Wentian: "..."

"Buy, expensive, umm!" Zhu Wentian said so, but secretly helpless, really thought he was a fool?The jars bought outside are not clean. If you wash them with water, other things will remain. If the sauce is poured in, it will go bad in a short time.

Jubiqi’s jar is steamed in a large pot, and then filled with sauce and pickles, the extra three wen is the cost.

"Moving this, there are [-] catties of fish meat sauce inside, plus the jar, it's too heavy, I'm afraid of falling when I carry it. I'll tell you, the jar I bought from outside..."

Zhu Xing pointed to a jar and told the reason why Zhu Wentian thought of it.

Zhu Wentian pretended to be listening carefully, picked up the altar easily, and held the bottom of the altar with one hand: "Let's go!"

"Hanhan, you are really strong. Now we are short of soybeans. This year Xiaqiu Village has harvested soybeans. After exchanging seeds with others, sell them to the store!
The grain that my brother brought from Xiaqiu Village was sent to a drought-ridden place. This year, there is a drought in Shandong. They prepared in advance, so there is no need to send grain, right?
If you want to send it, you will also send the wheat that has been replaced with seeds. What can you give away for soybeans, don’t you think so? "

Zhu Xi came up with the idea of ​​food in Xiaqiu village. In the past, Xiaqiu village gave food to the prince, and the prince gave it to the people.

The price of seeds is different from that of ordinary grain, and it is the common people who benefit in the end, and the government only cares about transportation.

However, transportation belongs to transportation, and people are required to make up for the loss on the road when they take grain seeds.

"Sell! Beans! Hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian promised that a lot of sauce could be made out of soybeans on [-] mu of land.

"In this way, we can ask for more dried salted fish and sell them to merchants who go elsewhere. Seeing that you earn less per catty, the quantity is more!
When I go to the fief in the future, I will build a Xiaqiu village next to the palace, just like the one outside Chaoyangmen, you come and play.

We do big business, and no one cares about me at that time.Besides my elder brother, I am the oldest, and I want to show off to my younger brothers. "

Zhu Xi said, the two entered the box restaurant, and the children helped with the dried vegetables.

When the vegetables come out this year, the [-] guan dried vegetables bought last year will basically be consumed, and the pickles will be used a lot.

This year, we can continue to collect dried vegetables and increase to [-] guan, because the department store has already been sold out, and only those who have failed the imperial examination are required to enter the store.

Every department store sells Jubiqi stuff, plus other groceries.

Once here, Zhu Xi didn't care about being stupid, and he went to learn and communicate with the children.

Zhu Wentian put down the jar, scooped a little into the bowl, picked up a chopstick, and took a look first. Yes, there were no small fish bones, and the thorns had been cleaned up when he wanted to come to the beach to deal with them.

Then sip it into your mouth and taste it, it is salty, but you can taste the taste of fish, fresh and salty.

He put down his chopsticks and went into the house, and the chief didn't mind picking it up, so he took a sip, tapped his mouth, and followed Hanhan into the house.

"Hanhan, the fish sauce tastes really good, not fishy at all." The chief commented.

"After buying it, chop it into small pieces, steam it in a pan, put it in the sauce, and marinate it for more than half a month. The fish will have the current texture and taste. If you don't steam it once, the sauce will go bad."

Zhu Wentian knew the production process after tasting it, and now Jubiqi's sauce-making technicians are very good.

I don't know what kind of deed they signed, and they can't let it go easily.

Although there is only one more step of steaming, many people who make sauce don't know it.

Especially when I bought the same miso paste, I always diluted it with salt water when I went home. Some people’s sauces are fragrant, while others are stinky.

The fragrant one probably knows how to scald the jar with boiling water, and the smelly one can be washed with cold water.

There is also salt water, one boiled salt water, and one stirs the salt in the water.

As he spoke, Zhu Wentian took out the Four Treasures of the Study and began to draw pictures.

"What else is there to do?" the chief asked naturally.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin said that common people eat fishy smell and boil it in a clay pot. The cooking temperature is obviously not as high as steaming. At the same time, when the fish is steamed, the fishy smell is brought into the pot instead of the plate.

I make a simple thing, put it in a clay pot, can support the plate to steam the fish, put a little salt, ginger, green onion in that way, it is better than cooking it directly. "

Zhu Wentian was talking while drawing. It is a very simple thing that can be made with bamboo. It is propped in a clay pot, put a plate on it, and then covered with a pottery pot to steam it. Wrap it around with a drawer cloth several times to seal it, so that the temperature inside can be higher.

This is the same as the different brackets in the iron pot of the big earthen stove, but ordinary people don't think about making it by themselves.
