Chapter 189: Cracking
As the New Year approached, the people on the street gradually became busy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Qian Rujun's store, although it has only been open for a few days, has become the first choice for gifts, especially when I heard that the newly released steamed buns and steamed buns are high-end and high-grade, and have become the first choice for New Year's gifts. Fried pork is also gradually becoming popular. It has become the first choice for gifts, Qian Rujun's pork fried and roasted shop, and the taste of fried pork has gradually increased. I heard that a new spicy pork will be added tomorrow. It makes me even more curious if I haven't eaten much spicy food. What exactly is spicy?
On the third day, the stalls were very lively, because in order to let the people in Chang'an City try the taste, they cut the spicy pork into pieces and let the people of Chang'an try it, and if it didn't taste good, they persuaded them not to buy it. Because, not everyone can adapt to the spicy taste. However, because it is the first time to sell, the spiciness of the pork stall is not very high.
It is said that the hot taste will eventually be introduced in the future.
The emperor went out, not alone. Now that Zhang Cang already knows, if he doesn't take him with him, he can't say it. And although Zhang Cang has only been here for the past two years, he has had many more opportunities to visit Chang'an City than him, the emperor who has lived in Weiyang Palace for a long time. Fortunately, when he was still a prince, he didn't visit Chang'an City less, and he was not unfamiliar with the streets. The location of the East City and the West City, since the establishment of Chang'an City, has not been moved much, even if the internal configuration is a little different, with Zhang Cang, a familiar person, he is not afraid of getting lost......
Well, I got lost in the end......
"It's been so long, haven't you gotten there?" After walking around the East Market for a long time, the emperor still didn't find a stall, and he was a little too late to meet his office time.
Zhang Cang's forehead was sweaty at this time, he hadn't led the way for others, he couldn't imagine that the area was the wrong way, and he didn't come in to buy it in person, but waited outside the market and ate on the ox cart. How did he know that the market was so chaotic. They came out, and the battle was too big and too eye-catching. After all, even the civilian clothes worn by ordinary guards are just as incompatible with the style in the market. Not to mention the emperor and him. Although the current emperor is simple, his clothes are also made of silk, not to mention that he has the highest level of silk on his body. Poor clothes, he has never worn in his life.
"Could it be that we have gone to the wrong place at all, not in the East Market but in the West Market? Zhang Cang suggested hesitantly. Following his advice, the two have taken a lot of wrongful paths, making him lose confidence in himself, and he is afraid that the emperor will lose his trust in him. This is a political crisis!
"I guess, if we can't find it, let's go back! It's been a long time since I've been so hungry. Those ordinary people who are often hungry don't know how to survive. "Emperor Liu Heng can see clearly the fresh clothes and fine clothes of the people's ministers, and the high cars and horses, but he knows that he can set an example and restrain the behavior of comparison. However, if the ministers lose their pursuit of status and wealth, it will have an adverse impact on the rule of their Liu family's royal family.
For the prime minister, of course, he will not regard this matter as his political cowardice, and the prime minister Zhang Cang has no research on the nine chapters of arithmetic. In terms of mastery of quantity, it is much better than other prime ministers. But Zhang Cang is not omnipotent after all. As an emperor, he wants to have all-powerful courtiers, but he doesn't want to have them. For the emperor, now that he can use Zhang Cang, it represents Zhang Cang's current state, which is consistent with his direction of national management.
Yes, for the emperor, he went out this time, not to have a full meal, but to witness the emergence of a new food. In particular, I heard that the food used by Qian Rujun does not seem to be made of corn, but it belongs to the category of corn and can fill the stomach. It's not white rice in the south, and since the day before yesterday, Qian Rujun has purchased a lot of wheat in various places.
These wheat, because they are not tasty, are mostly used as fodder for cattle and horses. Or for people who don't have anything to eat, a food choice. The rough taste of wheat rice is unacceptable even to ordinary people.
The emperor was making a guess as to whether this new food was made from a crop like wheat.
For Liu Heng, being able to fill the stomachs of more people and reduce the speed of land annexation is the way for him to achieve long-term peace and stability in the Han Dynasty. If Qian Rujun really does this, develop new grains. That pair of the Liu dynasty really made a great achievement. The difficulty is how to get Qian Rujun to share this technology. Especially Qian Rujun, there are too many things that Qian Rujun provided to the royal family for free. It was not easy for Emperor Liu Heng to speak. Don't say it, the "paper" that Qian Rujun gave to Liu Wu shocked Liu Heng, and after learning about the transaction between Qian Rujun and Liu Wu, he decided to give Liu Wu this "papermaking" to do, and allocated many craftsmen to help Liu Wu set up papermaking equipment. With the power of the royal family, Liu Wu's preparation speed is very fast, and the paper mill will be put into operation tomorrow.
Of course, if Liu Wu earns money, don't think about swallowing it all, it is necessary to give back to Shaofu and the emperor. Father and son, settle accounts. As a good emperor, Liu Heng always has an account book engraved in his mind. Perhaps only when facing Mrs. Shen can he put down the account book. Because this woman has nothing but him.
Soon, Emperor Liu Heng understood that they had found the stall they were looking for. Looking at the long queue, as well as the people who bought things, the fragrance wafting around them, and the gluttonous insects caused by them, all made them understand that Qian Rujun's noodle stall was in front of them.
Many people also noticed Qian Rujun's move to buy pork and wheat. It's okay to say pork, people can know that Qian Rujun's pork is purchased from Xue Yingjie in Dongshi. But what puzzled them, they got it back and fried it on a clay plate or an iron plate, although it could be fried. But it is easy to stick to the bottom of the pot, not to mention, it is also easy to be heated unevenly, there is burnt, here is not cooked. It was not easy to find out Zhuang Xiang's iron plate, but Zhuang Xiang took over Qian Rujun's business, and for a year, there was almost no way to get close to the order. In order to catch up with the work, he recruited several new apprentices.
Unfortunately, it is difficult for an apprentice to steal the most lucrative skills from him.
On the other side of the flour, the cooking method is simple, and even they can see the noodle stall master, making noodles on the spot. The people of Dahan are really smart, and from those powders, coupled with Qian Rujun's tips to buy wheat in large quantities, some people have understood how to make delicious flour.
It's a pity that the guy who did the experiment found that the flour he rubbed out by hand really didn't have the dough kneaded by Qian Rujun's store, and he gave up the idea of producing it himself. I lined up every day with relief.
This also made the appearance of flour dozens of days late. That's an afterword. (To be continued.) )
