Chapter 897 Secretly Learning Treasure Money

People in Lantian County usually collect donkeys to make jerky, so they are bound to eat donkey meat. They usually apply salt and dry it in the sun and shade to avoid fly bites.

Xiaqiu Village helps prepare the dishes for the host. Only after the merchants have eaten here are they willing to buy them back to eat themselves, or sell them, and teach them how to do it.

We never expect many tourists to come here. We can only make money by selling donkey meat jerky, and the tertiary industry tourism economy cannot be developed.

The people tasted the donkey meat prepared by Xiaqiu Village. Since it was not fresh donkey meat, the processing methods were relatively few.

Zhu Wentian's friends wrote down the ingredients used for each method of making meat. Some of them need to be purchased, and they cannot go to Huimin Pharmacy to buy them.

Absolutely no pepper is used, it is too expensive and will increase the cost. The other ingredients are actually medicinal materials, including star anise, which is called aniseed in some places.

Other herbs, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc. need to be purchased. The application of these seasonings is still rare in the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike Zhu Wentian's time, many people can look up information online and then analyze the effect of each traditional Chinese medicine as a seasoning.

"Your Highness King Qin, the food prepared by our team is so delicious!" Chief Secretary Zhou Zhong took a bite of donkey meat slices and raised his head to praise.

"If you just tell me about Xiaqiu Village, we won't be angry. How can I, Prince Qin, have such ability? I will arrange work for you in a few days, go to Nanjing, and learn advanced management experience from Shangyuan County and Jiangning County.

When you get there, you will know the reputation of Xiaqiu Village in the local area, which is even better than that of Prince Qin's Mansion.

No matter what Xiaqiu Village says they want to do, other people believe it and do it right away, for fear of being late and delaying making money.

Is it longer? "

While Zhu Xi was talking, he suddenly asked Li Chang where he was eating braised donkey meat casserole with mushrooms and yam.

The chief stopped his chopsticks and said, "That's what Your Highness said. In fact, the people from Prince Qin's Mansion have been in charge of operations for a long time and are more useful than the manpower from the Prince's Mansion.

The shiitake mushrooms here are grown artificially, using the flower cutting method, which has a low bacteria emergence rate and is subject to many environmental and seasonal requirements.

If there is Ruo fungus, the artificial one has a higher yield and sometimes tastes a little worse. The one grown in the wild has a lower yield, but it tastes good.

There is no need to use shiitake mushrooms, just follow the method of cultivating Duanmu mycelium. For the sake of yield, eat them first, and then consider wild ones. "

The head of the village was unwilling to say more about who was more influential. Xiaqiu Village must be more influential than the other princes. The village was responsible for the affairs of the Prince's Mansion and the Royal Palace.

All food cooked at Guanglu Temple must be tested for poison. The food in the village is prepared at any time. Sometimes His Majesty suddenly runs over. The Crown Princess eats all year round. Now she has a child in her belly and goes to the village every day to chat with people.

It is impossible for other princes to show their identities and work all day long, including the four people in Jubiqi, even though the people know it.

The artificial cultivation method of shiitake mushrooms has been around for a long time. It is the cultivation method of cutting flowers, which is used on fungus. The cutting flowers are actually considered wild, and artificial conditions are created.

Just like pine mushrooms and truffles, creating an environment is called semi-artificial. These two species cannot be grown manually, or the cost is too high and not cost-effective.

But those that still have mycelium, such as bamboo fungus and Tremella fungus, are all mycelium. Cutting the flowers of shiitake mushrooms is too wasteful of wood. Duanmu is to cut the wood into sections. It is not basswood. Basswood is a species of tree.

"Second brother, we should really teach the people how to grow mycelium."

When the fourth brother Zhu Di heard this, he remembered the situation in his fiefdom. He told his second brother that he was going to teach the method to his people later.

"This method of growing mushrooms is to use sawdust to grow gray mushrooms. Aren't the people in Nanjing familiar with it? They haven't spread it out?" Zhu Fang recalled that Xiaqiu Village did not keep this secret and deliberately taught it to the people. Therefore, there are many mushrooms in Nanjing, and a large number of them are cultivated artificially, including Enoki mushrooms.

Among them, gray mushrooms have the highest yield, namely oyster mushrooms.

Then other things can also be grown, including Hericium erinaceus and Ganoderma lucidum. Ginseng can be grown in batches, but why not Ganoderma lucidum? Polygonum multiflorum is still planted.

The technology passed down from Xiaqiu Village has been used by the common people, so there are more and more mushrooms in Nanjing.

Businessmen obviously know this, but as a result, there is no such technology outside?

"Your Highness, they don't dare." County Prime Minister Deng Liyi said: "I have a relative who is a businessman. He told this matter, but he was afraid that it would be known after it was spread, and he would be accused of stealing. People in Nanjing and other places in Yingtian Prefecture would be told The people can only go and help with the work.”

The other three officials nodded. No one mentioned any patented technology. It's just that other people have it. If you learn it, it's easy to come and cause trouble for you, especially if the other party has a strong background.

"Oh oh oh!" The four Zhu brothers all understood.

Zhu Xi shook his head: "I misunderstood, teach me! Please teach me quickly...it's too late, right? You need to teach me from scratch, and then wait for it to grow out. It will take many days!"

The village chief then took over: "Actually, we just need to publicize it and say that you can learn the skills released by Xiaqiu Village and we don't have to worry about it."

This time the four officials nodded again to express their support, yes.

"So someone has learned secretly, but they don't dare to show it openly, so they just use it as a cover-up?"

Zhu Xi understood instantly that others were afraid and thought that it would take too long to cut and plant flowers, so it was better to plant them at home secretly.

The four officials continued to nod. They were not afraid anymore. You said you would give up the planting. What happened if others secretly planted it?

"Grow it! If you don't know how to grow it, learn it yourself. You can grow various mushrooms in Nanjing, and you can also grow bamboo fungus.

Xiaqiu Village no longer expects to make money from this, but the artificial cultivation method of bamboo fungus and tremella has not been released and needs to be exported.

It’s better not to think about it in the short term. When the Ming Dynasty makes more money, it will easily spread to the ears of the Yi people. "

Zhu Xi was indeed lifeless. Mushrooms are also vegetables, and wild ones are seasonal. Picking mushrooms wastes time, and selling them to others is expensive.

If you can grow it, you can grow it in large quantities, and the price will be low, so you don’t have to pick it anymore, unless you have to eat a certain kind of mushroom that no one grows, or you have time.

Everything near the woods has been harvested by people. If you go deeper, you need to bear some risks, such as wild beasts and poisonous snakes.

After excluding seasonality, the artificial planting is just right, and even Hericium can be grown! hairy.

"Your Highness has a kind heart, no, he cares about the people."

Classical historian Guan Chao boasted that he probably knew people who cultivated shiitake mushrooms secretly.

"There's no need for this. We're not children. Let's eat and leave tomorrow. Third brother needs to go there quickly."

Zhu Xi waved his hands, feeling happy!

"Your Highness, have you brought any money?" Chief Secretary Zhou Zhong said with a look of helplessness on his face. His colleagues were looking at him!

"What are you doing? Don't have enough money? Come out with your donkey-hide gelatin and donkey hooves accounts, and we'll settle them for you."

Zhu Fang thought that the county was short of liquidity, so he solved part of the problem, and then he made money by selling donkey meat jerky and entertaining businessmen to eat donkey meat.

Zhou Zhong shook his head: "Your Highness, did you bring the treasure banknotes? We want to change them. Let me tell you, the people have taken out all the money at home."
