"I can't get it, people don't mention prescriptions at all, uncle, you think, this kind of good thing, no one will give it to you."

Zhou Xihu said helplessly, and when he saw his uncle, he still had to speak, and then said: "Uncle, my nephew knows what you want to say, isn't it just to see what they usually buy? I have arranged for someone to watch it.

However, they buy almost everything, and they send people to the market to pick things. At night, when everyone at the market is gone, they have someone to pick them. If they eat anything they can eat, they pick it up. The fish smells bad. Shrimp, at first I thought it was a good thing, but later I learned that they dried all these things and ground them into powder, and fed them to the chickens.

They also bought some rice noodles. They used to be soybeans. Later, didn’t the soybeans be said to be poisonous, they stopped, and the veggie oil was not sold. Only then did I know that veggie oil turned out to be soybean oil, and I wanted to know how to make the oil. , I have also fried soybeans several times, and they are quite fragrant, but unfortunately they don’t produce any oil.

Later, I made people soak with water again, trying to soak the oil out, but it sprouted, two inches long, and fried with meat, which was not bad. I also complained to Song Jinggong who had been helping to contact there, but I didn’t expect that Song Jinggong really I went back and said, the next day I gave my nephew a recipe, that is, the recipe, chicken slices with scallion oil, and the bean sprouts underneath, which made me mad. "

"Oh? Is it delicious? Uncle hasn't eaten it yet." Zhou Sui asked with a smile.

"It's delicious. They told me on the third day that the bean sprouts can be squeezed and eaten at the end. As long as they are boiled in oil and fried with shredded pork, they are tender and crispy. I made them too, indeed." Zhou Xihu looked on. Frustrated.

"Hahahaha." Zhou Yu finally couldn't help laughing, and at the same time he became more curious about the Zhangjiazhuangzi. What the nephew was fooling around, he could give a recipe right away. It's not easy. .

"In that case, why don't you sell this thing with them? You can share some more money with them."

"That said, they don't agree, let me don't worry, there will be new things for sale right away, not only in Honshu, but also in other states, selling to those small shops that specialize in salt and soy sauce. , They sell soy sauce. I am looking for someone to find a merchant in other states.

They are not expensive. They give me five cents and two catties. I can sell them for ten cents and three catties. The money does not need to be distributed to them. Nowadays, many places are suffering from drought and the price of beans is expensive. Selling like this is really a help to the people. "

Zhou Xihu shook his fingers and said to his uncle.

"Then you don't earn much?"

"Not much? It depends on how much, they said, you can give me five thousand stones of soy sauce in the early stage, and then you can give me fifty thousand stones in later stages. I need to get salt for them. They can't buy so much salt, which is not much. I don’t know in which year it will be sold out. It’s best if the people under you will do things and sell soy sauce farther."

Zhou Xihu is now wondering, where Zhangjiazhuang has so many soybeans to make soy sauce, and dare to keep the price so low.

Hearing these words, Zhou Zhengke is no longer as relaxed as he was just now. Zhangjiazhuang's doing this seems to help keep the prices of some things in this state down, so that those who want to speculate dare not take it. This is a big deal. Yes, the soy sauce of fifty-five thousand stones is scary to listen to.

He knew that some of the news he got from his nephew might not be true, and shouted to the outside: "Cheng County Order, please come here, I have something to ask."

The county magistrate Cheng was thinking about how to keep the people from above in the county seat. He only asked Zhou Yu to visit Zhangjiazhuangzi. He heard Zhou Yu call himself, so he didn't dare to neglect. In the car, Gongsheng asked: "My lord, what do you want to ask the official?"

"Do you know that Zhangjiazhuang sells soy sauce?" Zhou Zheng asked directly.

"Know, they want to keep prices down, not just soy sauce, but there are still a lot of eggs to sell in two days. You can buy a catty each time, and the price is very cheap. Grain won’t be able to rise up. The lower officials have ordered people to block the county’s roads to the outside. When they find that there is a transport of grain and other things, they will stop them, but they can’t get in."

The county magistrate Cheng was a little excited when he talked about this. Zhang Wang's family Zhuangzi almost lost money to help him keep prices down. Sanshui County is really stricter, so there is no need to worry about people who cannot eat. They make a lot of money. , And did not hesitate to spend money.

Zhou Zheng is in charge of taxation. Of course, he knows how much praise will be won to the county magistrate Cheng when the price is stable. Why does Zhangjiazhuang do this

"Are you in touch with them?"

"Yes, they have been helping subordinate officials. From all aspects, as long as there is a little difficulty in subordinate officials, Zhangjiazhuangzi has the means to use them. The subordinate officials always regard the person taking care of the subordinate officials as their masters. Discussed with Song Jinggong about going to apprentice, but they didn't agree with him. The lower officials felt that they were testing the lower officials."

County Order Cheng did not conceal much at this time. Some things that could be said were all told by him. He knew that Zhou Zheng and him were together. There was no need to have reservations about such things that were not secret. Just understand.

Zhou Yu pondered for a while, and then asked: "Then can you ask for their prescription?"

"I don't know, the next official didn't dare to ask for it. That would cut the way for people and money, and the next official hoped to apprentice." Cheng county magistrate told the truth.

"Well, I see, I'm almost there, right?" Zhou Zheng was too bad to force the county magistrate Cheng, and they still took care of his relatives.

"Quickly, go back next time, and come back later." The county magistrate Cheng knew that this was to let him go, and he promised to stop the car and bow back.

After walking for a while, everyone finally reached the place. When I got off the car, I saw a lot of people surrounded by it. Everyone was surrounded by a water catcher. Some people squeezed out from the crowd and left with water. .

In addition to these, there are people kneeling there and burning incense. A lot of water has been sprinkled around the area. It is wet, and the one surrounded by people should be a dry well with water.

These people from above were going to drive everyone away. Before they could give orders, the county magistrate Cheng stood up and shouted, "My fellow villagers, let me give in and the court will send people to see this. Well."

The people didn't even hesitate, so they gave way. From this we can see the prestige of the county magistrate Cheng in the county.

Everyone saw this, a well without a well platform appeared in front of them, and there was a water pumping tool next to it. These people just fetched water here.

Everyone leaned forward to watch, watching and asking, especially the people around, who were called for questioning. After some inquiries, they had to admit that this was indeed auspicious. During the severe drought, there was a dry well. It turned out that water came out, there was something about it, and it was said that I saw God use thunder to hack the well, and there was a bang, and there was water in it.

Others said that they saw the gods passing by the well and sighed for the drought. Therefore, there are too many sayings to help blast the well with thunder, but no matter which kind, there is a huge sound. ring.

The people who came to write down the matter, even after completing this task, they returned to the car and let the people continue to fetch water here. Some people even asked people to find something to hold water and put some on it, which would be easy to use after returning. Come for tea.

After the busy schedule, Cheng County Commander didn't wait for everyone to have other ideas, so he greeted him to eat elsewhere, saying that it was an action to help the people by letting people taste the characteristics of Sanshui County.

Seeing that everyone had left, the people were more convinced of this auspiciousness, and filled water back with pious expressions one by one.

"Don't worry, take it slow, it looks like you have to buy some kelp. There are too few kelp sold here. When do you go to a place by the sea, you can only collect kelp."

Inside Zhangjiazhuang, Wang Juan said to the tiger who was doing things there, and then began to whisper in a low voice.

The thing that can improve the taste is MSG, which is boiled out of kelp, and she and Zhang Xiaobao will be able to do this. As for industrial processing, there is nothing that can be done.

After the kelp is boiled, make it out, or make a soup, or dry it. The remaining water only needs to be roasted, and the thing that precipitates underneath is MSG. Because kelp is not easy to buy, the output is not large, except for selling. Going to the three restaurants to help make the sign, only Yamen and Zhou Xihu can get one point.

The rest of the MSG has been kept, ready to wait for the opening of the restaurant here. There is also a part of Zhou Xihu’s uncle who is going to give away. If others want to eat, they can only come here, even if they are dedicated to buying MSG, passing by Shuiyun I will go up to see it when I'm in a restaurant, that's okay.

Zhang Xiaobao really didn't care about this, he was grinding his teeth with a piece of kelp in his hand. Wang Juan saw that he was not doing anything, and touched him, "Can you think of something else? It's all money."

"Think of a way? What way? I know that there are many things that can get MSG, but I always know how to do it. The process is complicated, so stick to it. Then I will go to the beach to collect it. Either feed the ducks or throw them everywhere."

Zhang Xiaobao swallowed a mouthful of kelp foam and replied with a crooked head.

"Sea, sea, here is not close to the sea. It will take more than half a month to go there for a while. Zhou Xihu's uncle is here. Do you want to use it to entertain? If it doesn't work, just eat dumplings. That thing is soy sauce. , We have a lot of soy sauce, and we can also eat buns."

Wang Juan also didn't know what to do about this. He had already let Erhu out. He went there last time to buy stones. This time he bought kelp, or picking kelp. No one had eaten this thing.

"Don't always think about soy sauce, eat steamed buns, what if people like to eat goubuli steamed buns? The authentic thing is only jealous, Huzi, okay, so it's okay, get the stuff out, this Let's eat kelp in a few days."

Zhang Xiaobao stared at that side, calling to stop, and worried about the cooked kelp again.
