Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 590
There was a lot of commotion in Jiuyuan County, and Changsun Chun, who was sent by Changsun Wuji to play the front station, stared at this place almost all day long. At first, he thought that Sun Xiangfu was deliberately distributing money to the people and using his own money to help the local people , but when he connected with the secret guard in Jiuyuan County, he knew that he was wrong.

Now, beside the fourteen princes, there are 28 secret guards!Everything Sun Xiangfu did in Jiuyuan County was carried out under their noses. Sun Xiangfu simply provided knowledge to the common people, introduced some cooking techniques that Wangjiang Tower had already researched, and at the right time, cooked They are just released.

Why the right time!Because, before that, the other paddocks of Jiuyuan County had not been constructed yet, and there were not so many people in the local area. In addition, at that time, the breeding of the first, second, and third large embankments was not as it is now. It has formed a large scale, like No. [-] embankment. Although there are only [-] households, this embankment has begun to export two-year-old buffalo to other embankments this year, and the scale of chickens and ducks has reached hundreds of thousands. Not only does each household Chickens and ducks are privately raised, each with more than [-] chickens and ducks. The six villages in the embankment are all on the river beach, and there is a duck shed with a breeding scale of tens of thousands.

Although tens of thousands of ducks seem to be a lot, it is actually not troublesome to take care of them, because they are free-range. A few young boys, carrying pennies with red tassels on their shoulders, can go out to find ducks under their leadership with a yell. In the afternoon, you can follow them back to the cages. In later generations, in this area, many farming people raise thousands of ducks in one family. so big.

Three years of accumulation not only allowed them to have more mature duck raising techniques, but also allowed them to quickly spread these techniques to other embankments. Since the people of other embankments moved in this summer, a small number of ducklings The chicklings were quickly distributed to all the new households, and they directly helped them build a larger duck shed. After all, like No. 20, 6000, and [-], each embankment has [-] mu of land. More than [-] households have been built, and the manpower is more sufficient.

Now, after the half-year transitional period for the new residents of Dayuan, at least two to three million adult ducks in Jiuyuan County have begun to lay eggs. Moreover, they have introduced the constant temperature incubation technology of Xingfu Village to allow the newborn ducks to lay eggs. Ducks are constantly replenished and sold, and the consumed ducks are consumed. Therefore, even during the one-month period from October to mid-November, Jiuyuan County sold at least 300 ducks to the outside world. No reduction was seen either.

In winter, when the water is dry, the big ships pull heavy cargo, so it is inevitable that they will go slowly. It was not until the end of November that Changsun Wuji’s boat arrived at Jiangling Wharf. Of course, he walked from Luoyang to Jiangling for almost a month. Because the boat was moving slowly, it was because he was going to contact many places along the Yangtze River to provide support for the construction of Jiangling City, manpower, building materials and other aspects. The materials he raised had arrived one step ahead of him. Jiangling City.

On the pier, Changsun Chun prepared the car early in the morning, and as soon as Changsun Wuji, who had rested in the cabin overnight, was ashore, he was attracted by the tangy aroma of food. It was early in the morning, but he was eating breakfast when.

Not in a hurry to get into the carriage, Changsun Wuji glanced at both sides of the pier. It turned out that on both sides of the main road of the pier, there were two long and long food stalls. The foldable tables could be stacked in a stack without taking up space The small stool looks the same as the stalls in the Yanjiang night market in Qinglongfang, Chang'an.

However, there is no yelling like the hawkers in Qinglongfang, because the shops are very busy, and they are not attracted by their voices. In addition to the strong food aroma, they are also very attractive visually.

In front of almost every stall, there is a long red flag with words like 'Jiuyuan Fish Ball Noodles' and 'Jiuyuan Duck Neck' vertically written on it. Regardless of the small size of the stall, they have a brand name.

At the front of the ghost car at the booth, they also clearly marked the price of all the products they sold, and wrote it clearly. Even the people who guarded the booth wore red armbands, white hats, and neat attire. It is hard to make a roadside stall into a high-end grade.

"Is this the industry that Zhengming created in Jiuyuan County?" Changsun Wuji pointed to the two rows of stalls.

"Yes, there are only more than 100 stalls on the wharf side. In the city, there are several crowded construction sites, as well as the construction site on the other side of the field. Now, there are more than 800 stalls around Jiangling City alone. " Changsun Chun looked at the stalls with at most five or six small tables, and nodded to Changsun Wuji.

"More than 800 stalls? That's quite a lot. It just so happens that the old man just got off the boat and hasn't had breakfast yet, so let's eat at these stalls! The ones made by Zhengming must be the same." Changsun Wuji smiled, Be the first to walk in the direction of the booth.

Changsun Chun kept up and said, "It's not bad there, it's just, hey, I can't tell. You'll know it after you've eaten there. There are no guests who disembark at Jiangling Wharf that don't like it."

From the fact that Changsun Chun described these food stalls as "good this mouthful", we know how popular they are.

Soon, Changsun Wuji walked to a stall, and saw the signboard saying, 'Jiuyuan fish cake and sour soup powder', golden egg skin, wrapped in thinly sliced ​​fish meat, added vegetables , mushrooms, boiled in sour soup, the white rice noodles, smoother than noodles at first glance, this is the first time Changsun Wuji has seen it.

"Guest officer, would you like to serve a bowl?" Aunt Ma, who was wearing a padded jacket and a brocade robe, stopped in front of his booth and asked with a smile, who was using a pair of long chopsticks to scoop up noodles in a cauldron.

"Come and have a bowl! By the way, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let's go together." Changsun Wuji's appetite was stimulated by the smell of the sour soup, and he thought of Changsun Chun who was waiting at the pier before dawn himself, asked him.

"Let me have a bowl too! You eat here first, and I'll go to the stall next door to buy you some other side dishes."

Obviously, this stall only sells a few kinds of noodles. If a big man like Chang Sun Chong eats a meal like a migrant worker, he only eats a bowl of noodles.

Changsun Wuji didn't stop him, he picked an empty seat at the small table beside the grass, and sat down. He thought that he would have to wait a while before he could eat. After all, he had just ordered, so who would have thought In less than 2 minutes, a bowl of fish cake and sour soup powder, which was not too big, was served in front of him, which was really fast enough.

"I heard from your companion that you still need to buy other food. Here are the small bowls for you two. One bowl costs six yuan, and two bowls cost twelve yuan."

"This bowl is not too small. There are fish, eggs, and a lot of vegetables and mushrooms. Two bowls only cost twelve cents?"

"Hehe, it's true to eat at our stalls in Jiuyuan County. A medium bowl of Qiwen, a large bowl as big as a head, is only eight yuan a bowl, and all the stalls are almost the same price."

Changsun Wuji heard the words and nodded with a smile. He had already seen a big man on the next table, holding a bowl bigger than his head, and he was eating deliciously. This kind of meat and vegetable combination looks good. A large bowl, if sold in Wangjianglou, might cost one or two hundred yuan a bowl, but it only sells for a few yuan here. No wonder the boatmen on the ship are willing to get off the boat to eat. The average daily income of these boatmen is more than Baiwen, spend a few pennies to eat this, there is no pressure at all.

Changsun Wuji is a person who can often go to big occasions and eat top-level delicacies. He is not as ugly as many people who eat this delicious fish meal for the first time. He just thinks that this fish cake is fresh and delicious, and the fish soup is appetizing and delicious. , fish powder, and it has a smoothness that noodles do not have. The taste is not inferior to many mid-to-high-end hotels in Chang'an. It is too worthwhile to spend a few pennies to eat such a bowl.

He only took a few mouthfuls when Changsun Chun came over with a plate, which contained several plates, and naturally there were several kinds of food on it.

The most attractive ones are the salted duck eggs that have been cut in half, the red yolks are dripping oil into the small dish, and the ducks that are skewered together like northern skewers are still bursting with oil. Intestines smell delicious and taste more crispy. As for duck necks, stewed bean skin, stewed lotus root, stewed kelp, stewed duck breast, etc., the portion is not much, but it is very cut. exquisite.

"Try this salted duck egg. It's marinated really well. The yolk is very flavorful. I ate two when I first came here, and I still want to eat it now."

"Have you eaten before?"

"Yes! However, if I eat it again, I can still eat it. Previously, I ate duck blood powder, which is not the same flavor as this fish cake powder in sour soup. There are also eel powder, fish powder, loach powder, and screw powder. , fish ball noodles, pork offal noodles, etc., just from these stalls, you can eat different kinds every day, and you can eat them for more than a month without repeating the same kind.”

Changsun Chun is from Changsun Wuji's own family, so he didn't see outside, and explained to him while eating.

Not to mention, after Changsun Wuji started to eat the dishes in those small dishes, he really discovered some tastes different from those in Guanzhong or the north. Two, salted duck eggs cut into four pieces, Changsun Wuji ate directly After picking up three petals, duck neck, and other lo-mei snacks, I cleared the plate directly, and there was still a bit of meaning left. Chang Sun Chun knew that in the future, the patriarch of his family would probably think of this mouthful when it was time to eat.

"No wonder the business of these stalls is so good! It's delicious and not expensive, and Zhengming's business methods really make people have to say 'convince'!"

After eating, Changsun Wuji already had a detailed understanding of the prices and business models of these stalls. Consuming quickly and winning by quantity, he walked along the street on foot, admiring the stalls, and praised them.

"With this person's ability to grow hair, what's the point of instructing the local people to start such a small business! It's because the business of these people is so good that it may cause you some trouble."

Changsun Wuji asked in surprise, "Trouble? What trouble?"

Chang Sun Chun replied, "You may not know that Sun Dali has announced a series of livelihood policies in Jiuyuan County. From now on, all the people under the jurisdiction of Jiuyuan County will be able to see a doctor in the hospital for free. All children, regardless of gender, From the age of seven, they can study in the school for nine years free of charge. The school even takes care of the food for these children, not only that, but in Jiuyuan County, all orphans, widows, or people who have lost their labor force are all provided by their county. The public funds support him until he dies.

After the news spread, there was a commotion among the people in other counties. Everyone was very envious of these benefits in Jiuyuan County, and hoped that the local area could follow up and force the county magistrates of all counties to dare not show up in front of the people. showed up. "

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Oh, it's only been more than two months since I came back here, Zhengming has done such a big thing, is he going to use his property to support the people of a county?"

Changsun Chun shook his head and said, "That's not the case. All the money is earned by the local people by their own ability. For the stall where you ate noodles just now, do you know how many bowls of noodles he sells a day?"

Changsun Wuji asked back, "A lot? I see, there are only five or six tables!"

Changsun Chun explained, "Five or six tables are quite a lot, but there are a steady flow of customers. He starts cooking from dawn to two shifts, and there are customers eating until late at night. In some stalls, there are twelve tables a day. For an hour, there is no stop, just such a stall, the worst business every day can sell at least 800 bowls of noodles, and other stalls selling food are no worse than this kind of stall, according to the regulations of the clerk. According to statistics, no stall under the banner of Jiuyuan County has a daily turnover of less than three yuan, and even some can reach more than a dozen. With more than [-] stalls, their daily turnover exceeds three Thousand guan, net profit, at least [-] guan, tell me, there is such a profitable industry, they spend money to see the doctor for the sick in the whole county, educate the children, support the orphans and widows, isn't that an easy thing?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "It seems that I have underestimated these stalls. After I settle down, I will definitely go to Jiuyuan County to visit Zhengming."
