Villager of Daming

Chapter 906 People’s livelihood is mostly obtained at a low price

Zhu Fan is very casual. He wears casual clothes, otherwise he would have to change clothes during meals. Besides, he has not yet become a vassal. If he wants to kill someone, he needs to send a telegram to his father.

"Everyone is eating, this duck is Perilla duck. We in Taiyuan Prefecture don't usually eat it. We prefer to eat pork and mutton. Goats are easy to feed, but pigs are a bit dirty.

Perilla is pretty good. Those who went to pick it said that it is planted along rivers, in fields, beside courtyards, and at the foot of mountains. You took my word for it.

Send people back to collect some of the perilla for medicinal purposes, and collect the seeds from the rest after they have grown.

Huimin Pharmacy has opened in Taiyuan Prefecture. We cannot rely on other places to send medicinal materials to our place. We have to collect and plant the medicinal materials we have ourselves. "

Zhu Fan started by talking about ducks. The rivers in Shanxi are not so uniform. Some places have a lot of water, such as those near the Fen River. Some places don't get much rain all year round and the evaporation rate is slow.

What kind of plant is suitable? Crops such as sea buckthorn, castor, mountain apricot, pepper, mountain peach, and white stems.

To put it bluntly, it depends on what kind of trees and grasses are alive in the local area. If they are useful for economic development, just plant them. If you don't see any alive, see if there are any alive in other places under the same environment, and try to plant them there.

It is obviously impossible to raise ducks and geese in a place without a river. Even if white goat grass is planted to feed the ducks and geese, they still cannot adapt.

White goat grass should be planted in patches and then used for grazing sheep. It can also solidify the soil and sand.

Vitex is also good, it can also fix the sand. After harvesting, you can weave baskets and make fires... If you have coal, just light a fire. Put a grate in the stove. Burning coal is better than burning plants. There is already a drought, and then burning plants...

Zhu Fan took a few bites and asked the officials to take a few bites and chat a few words. He was the one giving instructions and the officials listened.

"Here comes the crispy duck. It's steamed and then fried. We grow Sichuan peppercorns here, so it's perfect to eat with Sichuan peppercorn powder and salt.

Let me emphasize once again that people should never ask people to raise ducks and geese in places where they cannot be raised.

Try the stir-fried diced duck, yo! The braised duck blood is also served, and some green onions are added to really enhance the flavor.

When taking out the duck meat, there was extra meat left on the duck rack. I will show you the sizzling duck rack later.

The middle part of the duck wings is made into beer duck wings, the wing tips, duck head, duck intestines and duck feet are marinated, and the wing roots are wrapped in bread and fried.

The duck butt is taken out... you don't understand, it is the place where it cannot be eaten, and the sauce for stir-frying the noodles is chopped into pieces, which is the smell. Shaozi, can you do it? "

Zhu Fan tried his best to be as close to the official as possible, and still relied on others to do things! Now that he is arrested, he can only send someone from his own house to temporarily replace him.

It is impossible for people from Xiaqiu Village to stay here, and the elder brother and younger brother also have to be taken with them.

The six officials of Taiyuan Mansion were fascinated by what they heard, and they slightly confirmed in their hearts that the letter sent from Prince Jin's Mansion should be from His Highness Prince Jin.

And I feel like His Highness is a foodie. He ate the duck from head to toe, except for the duck feathers, and even the blood.

Suddenly asked about Xiangzi's noodles, the six people looked at each other, and one of them looked embarrassed because the other five people looked at him last.

"Your Highness, someone in my family does have a noodle shop, but this guy..."

The prefect Guo Jinglan looked troubled. He was a descendant of the Guo family in Taiyuan, and he was once a big family. However, after a long war, he was almost defeated. Is the Wang family in Taiyuan powerful? Just as useless.

No matter how powerful the Wang family in the Tang Dynasty was, could they still compare to Guo Ziyi later?

Guo Jinglan has a relative in his family who owns a noodle shop, so he naturally knows how to make spicy noodles and has his own secret recipe.

"I'm asking you if you know how to do it. I'm not asking you to give me a prescription. Your recipe... Huh! When we finish drinking in the evening, I'll give you a bowl of duck meat and sauteed noodles." Zhu Fan lowered his lips and said, "Let's The majestic King Jin, do you want your family's recipe for saozi? You really think highly of yourself. Have you tried various recipes of saozi from Xiaqiu Village?

Not to mention pork, have you ever heard of cowpea savoury? Do you know what mixed vegetable dumplings are like? What does the whole mushroom smell taste like?

Later, we'll let the department stores sell saozi, which is just right for people here to eat. Second brother, what about you? "

"Xi'an Prefecture also sells it, and the mutton and haggis are equally good. The village specially made a different version for us to try."

Zhu Fang responded that there is no difference between eating noodles with spicy seeds in Taiyuan and Xi'an. It just depends on how the noodles are processed.

"Does Prefect Guo know what is the most important thing in making Xiangzi?" Zhu Fan turned around and asked Guo Jinglan again.

"Uh..." Guo Jinglan thought briefly: "It tastes better... right?"

"Good taste is the basis. Who will eat if it tastes bad? The most important thing is that it is cheap. Saving it is free, just like adding sauce to noodles with soybean paste. If someone can eat salty food, they should add more savory sauce.

Therefore, the sauerkraut should be very salty to prevent noodle eaters from eating the sauerkraut as a dish. No matter how salty it is, some people will still want to add more noodle soup. At worst, they will drink more noodle soup.

If you make the whistle at home, it will be saltier. If you don’t want to eat the meat after killing the pig, just make it into a whistle and eat a little every time you eat noodles, just like pickles.

When opening a noodle shop, you need to reduce the cost of the noodle shop on the premise that it is delicious. Otherwise, the noodle shop will not be able to survive and the people will be poor. "

Zhu Fan pointed out to the other party, "Isn't it easy to eat delicious food?" He put the things in place with all his strength.

The six government officials nodded at the same time, agreeing with His Highness Prince Jin that it was indeed cheap, otherwise they would not be able to afford it.

They also have to eat. What do they eat here if they don’t have noodles? Specialize in Jinci rice?

When an official eats noodles with soy sauce, he must add some soy sauce. Zhaomo is a ninth-rank official, and his salary is small. The governor is in the ninth rank, and the promotion official is in the seventh rank.

The magistrate is in the fourth grade and has a family to support. When he goes to a relative's house to eat noodles with soy sauce, he feels distressed when he sees others adding more soy noodles. If he adds more noodles a few times, he will have to pay for it.

"Your Highness, how can we reduce costs?" The prefect Guo Jinglan's mind was filled with the scene of a relative's family eating noodles with so many spicy noodles.

"Prefect Guo! I do know how to do it, but..."

Zhu Fan shook his head and said, "I won't tell you. You didn't even tell me just now!"

"Alas!" Magistrate Guo sighed, but frowned and said, "Your Highness, any noodle maker must find a way to make cheap soy noodles. Is there any more powerful method?"

"In Yingtian Mansion, we can cook three meals a day for five cents in Xiaqiu Village, and there's also meat! You can't believe it? Hehehehe..." Zhu Fan laughed.

"Hey hey hey..." Zhu Wentian took the opportunity to laugh together, the smell can indeed be cheaper.

The six government officials once again had a tacit understanding and looked at His Highness the King of Jin with incredulous eyes. Yingtian Mansion, five cents for three meals, is there meat?

What is it made of? Didn't you eat people to death? In the remote Taiyuan Prefecture, five cents is not enough to eat three meals of shaved noodles!

Fortunately, people generally only eat two meals. At roadside stalls, one meal costs two pennies. If you discuss with others and eat less, three meals for five pennies seems feasible.

Seemingly reading their thoughts, Zhu Fan continued: "Not one dish, but at least two dishes for each meal, including rice, pickles, and soup.

The Danqing lunch box restaurant in a good location in Nanjing offers four dishes, one soup and rice, and the dishes cost three cents. It’s a profit, but it’s not free.

This is what our Xiaqiu Village is capable of. Of course, if you want to eat a thousand-guan meal, they can make it and guarantee it is worth the money. "
