Villager of Daming

Chapter 717: First expensive, then cheap, price is stable

"You don't even eat with us, but you care about the family!" The forest frogs were put in a big pot to raise, and there happened to be bamboo maggots.

The forest frogs were dug out while they were hibernating. No one knows how many of them were frozen to death or died during digging.

No one said anything about raising forest frogs at this time. The people there took it upon themselves to tell them not to dig any more when the ship was leaving.

While waiting for dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang muttered that the ministers had not eaten at all and ran away with their food boxes.

Someone helped deliver Wei Su, not only to him and his family, but also to the officials and family members who compiled the Cihai together.

"Maybe go back and show off your watch." The mayor followed.

"They're not accurate, so what's there to show off? Does the village raise red-bellied frogs? How do you get out the toad oil?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the caught wood frogs, which woke up when they encountered hot places after hibernating.

"I can only try to raise it and see if it works. There are two ways to get the toad oil. One is to wear it while it is alive and dry it in the sun. This kind of toad oil is more solid. The other is to scald it directly in hot water. This Toad oil is not as solid as the former.

The village teaches the second method. Although it involves killing, it is better than watching the forest frog struggle there for a long time and making people feel uncomfortable.

In addition, the former is called joint oil, which has a fishy smell, while the latter is called thread oil, which is cleaner and has no fishy smell when eaten. "

The village head knows this. If you don't do what the village tells you to do, the oil you take out will be fishy, ​​and you can tell it immediately.

"It is recorded in the Hermitage Book that it is a mountain clam, which often hides in the rocks. It can swallow air and drink wind and dew, but does not eat miscellaneous insects. It is called a mountain clam. Mountain people also eat it. This is the best for children suffering from fatigue and malnutrition. .

In fact, people in the past didn't eat much, and the Jurchens were in a special location. Now we know that we can't catch them like crazy, we have to raise them.

In order to keep the roots of edible things and increase more and more, otherwise there will be nothing to eat in the future. "

The head of the village added that he was afraid that if he agreed, the emperor would order a large number of captures, and if he needed to eat them, they would be gone.

As Hanhan said, this stuff contains hormones and is a great tonic. It can really cure illnesses and save lives at critical moments.

The treatment of malnutrition is the lack of hormones in children. Take it at this time, as well as royal jelly. Precocious maturity is better than death.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully. He was particularly concerned about supplements. The medicated diet in Xiaqiu Village was effective. Wang Shi, Wang Lao and his father Wang Yiqian were wilted and his internal organs were injured after a fall, so the village forced him to use medicine and food to support him.

It is said that the medicines and things used are not something that ordinary wealthy people can afford, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were made with money.

There is no shortage of money in the palace, it would be good if it can prolong life.

"Sure, Yichang, you have made the arrangements properly. We are still counting on Xiaqiu Village to make good things so that we can live a few more years!" Zhu Yuanzhang was not hypocritical.

"We are the same. Only when we are alive can we see the prosperity and strength of the Ming Dynasty, and look at future generations." The head of the village continued.

When the food was served, everyone stopped eating the staple food and drank wine first. Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted to chat with the chief.

Xiaqiu Village did not care about his position or compete with him for power. He felt at ease when talking to the village chief.

After everyone ate a few bites of vegetables and drank a few sips of wine, Zhu Yuanzhang put down his glass: "How will the prices of greenhouse vegetables be determined this year?"

The head of the village knew that he could not have a stable meal. He felt that he was just the same Hanhan when no outsiders were around. He and Hanhan kept asking questions while eating.

"Your Majesty, we think that when the greenhouse vegetables first come out, they will only be provided to restaurants and brothels, and the price will be high. After the production gradually increases, the price will be reduced.

There are so many more planted this year that the people can still eat them if they bite their tongues. A pound of prickly cucumbers costs ten cents, which is not expensive.

Comprehensive calculation, in terms of cost, glass is worthless, the input cost is small, and the output is high.Flat glass manufacturing has been mass-produced. As long as it is not transparent, transparent glass must not be released. "

"It's very good. It's expensive in the early stage and recovers the cost. It's cheap in the later stage and benefits the people.

Along the way, Biao'er has used greenhouses in several places. This year's income has increased, and the second and fourth children's places have given some money to the third child.

Helin provided fresh vegetables to herdsmen, soldiers, and craftsmen, which helped win over the people.

The greenhouses of Henan Prefecture are the income of the imperial court. Your porcelain is good. We have restricted the price of porcelain from various places, so the Yi people have to pay a high price to buy it. "

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with the sales method of the village manager. Last year, he sold a lot of money. However, because there were few greenhouses, they were sent to other places by boat, and the people did not buy much. It was too expensive.

The number of greenhouses has increased this year, and with the assistance of steam engines and ships, a lot of money will definitely be made.

"Your Majesty, we are in a seller's market. The price cannot be lowered. Once it is lowered, it will no longer be valuable. The more expensive it is, the more foreigners will buy it.

For example, if this beef stir-fried with green onions sells for fifty cents today, forty cents tomorrow, and thirty cents the day after tomorrow, others will wait and give it away for free.

If the price rises by one penny every day, others will be willing to buy it only if they see that the thing is good and that they themselves will not lose money if they buy it.

This dish is cold. Hanhan, please heat it up. Wouldn’t it be delicious if you fry the onions again? "

The director said that he took the fried beef with green onions as an example. He added some green onions and put it in his mouth, and found that it was cold.

"Hey! It's hot." Zhu Wentian came over to take the plates. Everyone's beef fried with green onions was completely cold.

The friends went over with him and picked the onions. If the onions were hot, they would be gone. Now pick them out and fry the beef directly in a large pot. Add cumin and change it to cumin beef. This one is not afraid of cold.

I didn't have this dish before, so I waited for the green onions to cool down before replacing it with cumin, so I didn't choose beef with fat in it.

"We think so too. If the price remains the same, they have colluded to not buy it and we will not lower the price. It's all the fault of the previous government. They sell so much, and they think it's good if they give some spices or something."

What is the use of jewelry?In exchange for food, we can reserve it, that is, pearls can be used for medicinal purposes.

We will collect gold, silver and copper at normal prices. The gems of various colors brought back from Helin are quite good.Called Tourmaline? "

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that people in the previous dynasties were stupid and sold good things at low prices. After the Yi people took them, they gave them to others at dozens of times the price.

The commander showed an expression of approval: "What your Majesty said is true. Even if the barbarians are in danger of being shipwrecked, things cannot be sold cheaply. When our Ming Dynasty steam engine fleet is completed, we will send it out to sell and buy it ourselves."

There is a place over there where we are blocked by a mile of land. If it can be dug out, it will be very fast for ships to pass by.

Let's give your Majesty a picture. Your Majesty will wait a moment and you will know the situation after looking at the picture. Oops!But after dinner, right? "

"Do you think we can still eat it? Get the picture quickly, you said it, we are waiting." Zhu Yuanzhang stared, did you do it on purpose?

The head of the store went to find the map, and Zhu Wentian and his friends brought the dishes back. They were mixed together before, but now they are divided into plates. No one cares anyway.

"This is the right one. The meat was tender and chewy when cooked again. The cumin tastes good, so it's perfect for drinking."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a bite of cumin beef and felt that it was more delicious than fried onions. The fried onions were tender and had a little juice, so it was suitable for eating with rice.

Zhu Wentian and others looked around, where was the inside?It's time to heat up the food, but everyone is gone?
