Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 554: Home-cooked dishes are the most refined

Views:

Zhang Zhong was not surprised when he heard his son express his intentions. He was used to his son and daughter-in-law's skills. No wonder he had to stop in Kaifeng to buy seeds and farming tools. It turned out that he would have troubles after he arrived at the place.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." Zhang Zhong gently pinched his son, who had wide-eyed and curiously listened to his brother and father, and got up to leave.

"Father, don't worry, so I can delay it for two days. Just do it in the normal way. Let someone secretly transport the seeds and farm tools to the counties. Dad, you can talk to the merchants here who are responsible for two things and listen to them. Say what, if you delay it for one more day, they will use another strategy one day later, so that the child can wait for the other hand to be ready."

Seeing that his father was about to implement it immediately, Zhang Xiaobao quickly stopped him. His arrangement was still a little bit too close. He was afraid that the local people would see that the plan would be broken as soon as the plan was taken out, so he immediately made another plan.

Zhang Zhong thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Isn't it just eating, drinking and drinking with the locals, and then looking at their faces? Simply, let's see what they can do.

When Zhang Zhong left, Wang Juan curiously approached Zhang Xiaobao's front, "Xiaobao, how do you know they want to do this?"

"I don't know, I just prepared things that might happen in advance. The usual methods are just that. There are only a few ways to embarrass officials at the local level, and they are inseparable.

When I came here, I made two-handed preparations. We gave things if we were embarrassed by this matter. We don’t need to be embarrassed at this time, but we also have to send them. Not all people can use the new plow, and not all people can plant good seeds. Li Longji sent my dad here just to raise the tax

The tool money and seed money came out from our family, and I gave him a satisfactory answer. It’s better to use his Li family clan’s name. He got more taxation and a good reputation. My father’s next term I want to go to Luoyang. With the two sets of government teams, Luoyang’s power struggle is not as bloody as the capital, and it is more adaptable. "

Zhang Xiaobao explained it to Wang Juan. Wang Juan nodded in understanding. She really thought Zhang Xiaobao could pinch it. It turned out to be an arrangement based on historical experience.

Dip a little coconut oil pearl ointment in the shell and gently wipe it on both sides of the nose and around the mouth of the younger brother and sister, and said: "Be careful when feeding fruit in the future. Rub it against the mouth, and rub it again. , Look, it's all red."

"It's dried. If you use a small shell for a hundred cents, it can explode? When the court in the north is stabilized, a factory will be built there to transport shells from the south, and use the northern one. Cattle and sheep also have various animal fats to make hand and face protection, and sell them back to the north."

Zhang Xiaobao changed his younger brother's posture, shook him lightly, let him sleep, and said a deal to Wang Juan at will.

"It's okay to stick tin foil with a wooden box. What can I do with shells?" Wang Juan kissed his sister's face, and what he got was a series of giggles.

"That's different. What is sold is shells. There is no sea there. Usually called Haizi in places such as Dahu or Blister. When using our products, the shells in the sea are themselves a status symbol. If the meat is not convenient to transport back and forth, Just choose a place around the local area to dig a cellar and freeze it."

"Why do you freeze so much meat? Want to hit the market?" Wang Juan heard something else from Zhang Xiaobao's words.

"It has nothing to do with the market, let's freeze it, it can still be eaten if it is frozen for two or three years, and it will last longer than canned." Zhang Xiaobao's eyes looked to the north, pretending to be mysterious.

Wang Juan pondered for a while, but still didn’t think of what Zhang Xiaobao would do for hoarding meat. He said, “It’s better to make some canned food. There are not too many techniques. The sealing and air pressure can be solved easily. It is really impossible to leave a vent. When it is hot, pinch it with tongs.

I found out that there are many places where meat is available where local meat is cheap, especially fish. It is because of inconvenient transportation that the price of meat in places with less meat production is too high for ordinary people to eat. "

"If you don’t do it, you can’t afford to pay. The rich people can eat it no matter how expensive the meat is. Your method can only be used by the middle class. In the past, one ton of canned food must not consume two tons of grain.

Even if you transport it by water, what do you use to make the canned scalp? Use iron? If iron is not valuable, there won’t be so many wheels made of wood, and the iron on the outer wheel of the wheel is also wear-resistant. "

"Then don't do it, and find more craftsmen to burn the kiln. Most people still use wooden bowls. The buckets and water tanks are made of wood. It is inconvenient to use and it is easy to breed bacteria. Why don't you make the soap? Sell it? Just use it for your own home."

Wang Juan estimated the price of iron and gave up the idea of letting more people eat meat, and instead asked about another soap that he could use in ordinary times.

Zhang Xiaobao put his asleep brother on the small bed next to him, "It’s not that I don’t want to sell it, or I’m afraid to sell it. The glass is not really sold much now. The asking price is very high. Most of the glass produced produces other things we need. Or just give it away.

Don't you worry about such a high price if you replace it with you? Especially that thing can make telescopes. Li Longji is now seeking stability. All the heroes at the time have been packed up. Even my grandfather who has never seen each other, that is, grandpa, has packed up, if not just catching up with that time. , My mother can't run out either.

Oh, when I said it, I just remembered. When I came here, I passed by my grandfather’s house. I didn’t go to see it. It was my grandfather’s father-in-law’s house, which was on the Yangtze River. It’s a good place to have tea on the top of Mengshan Mountain. Go and have a look. "

"I don’t like to drink Mengshan tea. I am not used to drinking black tea. It is estimated that the spring water in the middle of the Yangtze River is heavy water, that is, water with a lot of minerals. If you pair it with black tea, you can drink it to the mouth. You haven’t said yet. What about soap."

Wang Juan shivered as soon as she heard the tea on the top of Mengshan Mountain. She had drunk it before, but she broke her stomach when she drank it. Later, she refused black tea and only drank green tea.

"When we have a large pig farm, when will we be able to give the recipe to Li Longji, when he makes money in the first half of the year, we can follow behind and sell it. This stuff consumes daily necessities, and wealthy people have always been there. Using, our method is just that the added things are cheaper and faster to produce.

The consequence of mass production now is that many people can’t eat lard and fat intestines. The key point is food, or pigweed. In the past two years in Shuzhou, I will continue to teach the local people. Common people's method of raising pigs, ducks and fish.

As long as it succeeds again this time, the court should promote this method to more places suitable for the use of this method. Early-stage cost investment is a problem. "

Zhang Xiaobao wants to use his own methods to influence more people, and the current officials can at least do some practical things.

"I think the biggest problem is that the population is too small. As long as there is a little disaster or turbulence, it will have a big impact. The population is small, the productivity will not increase, the total amount of survival resources is small, and social resources will appear when social resources are deployed. Fault.

Just like many small countries, the per capita living standard is high, but in case of special circumstances, tens of billions of dollars can bankrupt the country. After a national disaster, the country will be over. After the big countries and the means of production complement each other, a region A disaster can transfer this loss to other regions. The larger the base number, the more stable the macroscopically. Throwing tens of billions in can not even splash a single splash. "

Wang Juan has his own opinions.

Zhang Xiaobao pondered it and felt that this was indeed the case. In fact, the production technology was backward and could only be compensated by the number of people.

"It doesn't matter, wait until my dad's position is high enough, let's go and find Grandpa Bi to study." Zhang Xiaobao beckoned the maid to come in and look at the little guys, and go out to study with Wang Juan.

Zhang Zhong also arrived at the place at this time. He hasn't done much since he took office. He left him with piles and piles of copywriting and pamphlets from the previous term. Others were already busy and confused. Unfortunately, this trick was useless for Zhang Zhong. Fifty people from the inner courtyard can help organize and check.

Luzhou did not go in vain. The inner courtyard people who used to follow the theory after training in Luzhou have already understood all aspects. Now Zhang Zhong is full of confidence. Given him a state capital without any officials, he can use it immediately. The people in the courtyard supported all the county offices, and the nursing home was released for a while, and even the office servants were there.

It is useless for anyone who wants to use a large amount of paperwork to suppress him, let alone someone who is specially trained in this direction, even the side dishes in the kitchen usually hum a few words, "Go back and follow it, just in the middle of the water." ."

It was all because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan wanted to build a family heritage. Zhang Xiaobao's final requirement was that the pig farmers of Zhang Wang's family could be admitted to the imperial examination, which was more powerful than the same literati because they could not raise pigs.

This is really not difficult for the Zhang and Wang family. Everything Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have learned will be compiled into a booklet, and the difficulties will be explained in the vernacular. It is not like the master who teaches people pretending to be advanced and clearly very simple. It's complicated.

The two inner courtyards can discuss with each other at ordinary times. If you don’t meet them, you can find your wife and Zhang Zhong to ask. There are also Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. If the family is not good at all, then go to Old Man Bi, Old Man Bi. It is also unclear, Zhang Xiaobao will fly pigeon for a question and ask Old Man Bi to ask someone else.

Old man Bi is Bi Gou. He has served as a Supplementary from Zuo, a member of Zhongshushe, and a governor in the four states of Shanzhou, Tongzhou, Weizhou, Runzhou, Weizhou, and a long history in Yizhou. A male from Wei County, he used to be Shangshu of the official department and the governor of Guangzhou. When he came to Sanshui County, he was the Shangshu of Henan Yinjianhubu and the prince Zhanshi.

If he encounters an academic problem that cannot be solved, it is a big problem. Even Li Longji in the court will have to deal with it. As long as he encounters a problem that cannot be answered, the countless people in the court will have to follow and deal with this problem. Write it down so that you can teach others later.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are good to Old Man Bi. In addition to admiring Old Man Bi’s character in their hearts, they also have intellectual thoughts. The conclusion they gave to Old Man Bi is: his existence is a legend, and his existence is a treasure house. He is a giant panda. One level.

The people in the inner courtyard of Zhang Wang's family grew up in this environment. They have been studying for seven years and have practical experience.

Not to mention a small state capital, even if the hundred officials in Luoyang are all dead, the Zhang family's inner courtyard is pulled over, and all departments operate as usual.

This is real wealth, and Zhang Zhong is much more relaxed because of this. In addition, there are two little gods sitting in the family. It is not to say that it is a Hongmen banquet. Even when the sky falls, Zhang Zhong believes that the two families can survive.

"Zhang Cishi is here, Zhang Cishi is here." Zhang Zhong walked very leisurely along the way. He was surrounded by only three people, a book boy, and two guards armed to the teeth. There were only four people. There was no arrogance compared to him. The father-in-law is far behind.

It was twenty feet away from the restaurant, and the merchants in the restaurant rushed out to say hello, all with real smiles on their faces.

Zhang Zhong knew that such an opponent was the most terrifying, a hundred times more powerful than the people he met in Lu Zhou at the time.

The governor must look like a governor. Even if he didn't take a car because of the short distance, he had to show the temperament of a third-rank official. He nodded slightly and walked into the restaurant. The people around him followed one step behind.

The restaurant’s name is Omi. It’s actually far away from the river. The third floor is not too short. If you are replaced by officials with no knowledge, you will be shocked by the lacquer on the outside of the restaurant. The most important thing is the third floor of the restaurant. There is actually a stand alone on it, which is more than two feet high, and there are stairs on it, which can put a table for people to drink.

Zhang Zhong also came here for the first time. It was mainly because of the decoration of the house a few days ago, and he installed a high platform. You don't need to ask to know that the price of the wine and vegetables inside will not be cheap.

The owner of the restaurant is also with him in the farthest place next to him, hoping that the new governor can know his own strength.

Unfortunately, what they met was Zhang Zhong, what did the Zhang family do? It's just a three-story restaurant painted with lacquer. If a two-foot-high table is added, can it skyrocket

I didn’t know, I went to see between the water and clouds, like a dream, I went to see between the sea and clouds, the tide is with the moon, only from the momentum, it fell behind, and it is impossible to impress Zhang Zhong. The heart of the gods.

The three-story restaurant in front of Zhang Zhong is not as good as the entertainment building of the four little guys. In only half a month, Xiaobao and the cuckoo have made the matching terrain, with mountains and waters, and the reflection of the pavilions. , The brook gurgling, parrot singing and swallow dancing, green grass Feifei, waterfall rainbow, mushroom tree house, wind chime swaying, gallery song.

This is because the son and daughter-in-law are afraid that the water mist is bad for the little guys, otherwise, they can still see the rain and mist.

The four little children don’t understand, but adults understand that as long as the place is enlarged and the house is built, it will be another fairyland on earth. No matter which one sees it, it will be attracted, but outsiders will never see it. According to the words of the son and daughter-in-law, this is the style of the family.

Comparing his own restaurant with the casino of the little children, the three-story Jinjiang Building became a vulgar decoration in Zhang Zhong's eyes. Without any compliment, he headed in.

The owner of the restaurant was the most sad, but he had to wait carefully. The group of people went directly to the best table. The restaurant also made a recipe to give people to order. This is rarely the case in other restaurants. Usually it's up to the buddy to say, after all, someone is illiterate.

The recipe was pushed in front of Zhang Zhong, and a businessman smiled and said: "My lord, you order, as long as you want to eat, you can order it here."

"Really? Well, I will choose two light dishes, one cucumber peel and one old vinegar sting. You need more than one year old sting. Look at the others."

Zhang Zhong really did not embarrass people. These two dishes can be eaten at home, especially the cucumber peeling. He likes to put more sesame sauce on it, which is refreshing.

He did not order high-priced dishes such as bear paws and deer lips. He usually only tasted them occasionally at home. His son and daughter-in-law were not allowed to eat more, saying that the fat and cholesterol were too high.

He ordered lightly, but the buddy was embarrassed. There are no such two dishes here. I don’t know what peeling is. There are jellyfish. But there is no Chen Haizhe for more than a year. I want to get the jellyfish to dry. Yes, there must be something to say.

Seeing the expression on the guy's face, the merchants knew what was going on, and one of the merchants who specialized in ploughing immediately made the rounds.

"Master Governor, it's better to order two meat dishes, it's not good to be too vegetarian."

Zhang Zhong also understands that people don't have these two dishes, and if they say it casually, it will embarrass people. Meat dishes are meat dishes, which are usually eaten at home.

"Here is a fungus fried pork stewed with Hericium erinaceus, and then a sliced pork lamb."

Two kinds of dishes, usually home-cooked, have fungus in them. It is correct to listen to the words of the son and daughter-in-law. Eat more fungus and mushrooms.

The dude is stupid again. There are meat and lamb loin, but I have never heard of such a dish name. Where can I get the fungus and hericium? Hericium has never been heard before, and fungus knows, but at this time I haven't received fungus yet.

"That stuff doesn't mean that it is available all the time. The custody is just the custody. The food you eat is different from others, and you choose what you don't have, and what you want for money."

That’s what the guy thought. How did he know that Zhang Cishi is used to eating more at home. If he wants to eat something special, he has to find the ingredients first, such as braised tiger steak, so he has to set aside a month to find talent. OK, isn't it difficult to order this kind of dish? Just eat the dishes that you can see on the dinner table every day.

"Master Zhang, the subordinate is late, and forgive the sins." Just when the guy was embarrassed, another person came in outside. The Shuzhou recorder joined the army and supervised the soldiers. At the same time, he was responsible for mutual surveillance with the governor.

Zhang Zhong didn't expect to be able to join the army even if he recorded the incident. The official in the history of his own is the largest. No one in Shuzhou except Li Xun, the prince of Shuzhou, has the right to let himself wait, not to mention that Li Xun would not be like this.

Therefore, Zhang Zhong only nodded slightly without saying a word, which is considered to have known the matter.

After recording the incident and joining the army, I also knew that Zhang Zhong was dissatisfied. With a smile, he drove Zhang Zhong’s left hand to sit somewhere else, and said to Zhang Zhong: "My lord, the subordinates just heard about this, and they were just busy deploying. The troop issue is gone. I'm afraid that there will be too much rain this year and floods in this area. I hope that the adults will have a great deal of water."

They apologized, but Zhang Zhong continued to face with a cold face, and said, "It's okay. It's all about the people. Can the dishes be done?"

The latter words are naturally asking buddies.

The sign-like smile on the guy's face has changed, can I do it? Don't know what to do

When I joined the army, I saw the man's face. Before he asked, someone next to him whispered the four dishes. He immediately understood and said:

"Just bring the signature dishes, and let Master Zhang say the name of the dish, and eat the bear heart and swallow the leopard's courage? There are countless restaurants in Shuiyunjian in Master Zhang's house. Is it the place where you can get the correct answer at Jinjiang Tower? Four dishes, It's just the usual dishes of Master Zhang at home, why don't you go?"

Zhang Zhong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would know him so well when he joined the army, and he nodded to his buddy.

The man was relieved, and jumped out as fast as he could to make people cook the signature dishes. The shock in my heart did not disappear at all. The new governor turned out to be a person from the water and the cloud, and the recipe is still learning from the water and the cloud. , This is considered to be an expert, no, you have to talk to the masters, show your ability, don't expect the adults to praise, as long as you don't pick the fault.
