Chapter 366: A Bowl of Herbal Tea (Fifth Update)

Early in the morning of the third day of the fourth lunar month, people were arranged next to various rivers around Chang'an, including Dashuitanzi.

People who are not in good conditions at home and can't do energetic work are guarding next to a large pile of 'heel balls' made of bamboo and rope.

In addition, there are pig blowing bubbles and medium gourds, both of which cost a penny a day.

Under the shady trees by the river lay large wooden barrels, beside which there were tables, stools, and a small bowl cut in the middle of a piece of bamboo.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, afraid that we and other people will drown in the water, so I am told to wait for those who are guarding the river and want to go down to swim, and wear one of these things.

It is not allowed to take it, His Majesty also spent money, the bamboo is not easy to burn, and the pig blowing bubble and the gourd have to charge a deposit, and these two are a penny a day. ”

Somewhere by the river, an elderly woman shouted.

There is a lot of twine next to her, and she can still weave the wire net while she sits, so as not to delay things.

The bamboo tube is covered with a net of two layers of twine, which will break if it is soaked in water for a long time and needs to be dried.

This is the case for fishermen for three days of fishing and two days of drying their nets.

The net that the woman weaves is replaced when the other nets are to be dried.

Someone wants to swim, and when he heard that His Majesty loves the people, he originally thought that his water was good, and he put on what he didn't want.

"What's in that bucket?" Some people are curious, what is the use of setting up tables and chairs next to them?

"Herbal tea, the herbal tea of the Li family Zhuangzi, one dollar and one bamboo bowl, drink to quench your thirst, today can only hold one hundred and fifty or sixty servings, you have to drink it and buy it quickly."

The woman opened the lid of the barrel for people to look at, thought about it, scooped out a bamboo bowl, and distributed it to everyone to taste.

"It's delicious, there's sugar in it, it's not expensive for a dollar and a bowl."

"I'll have a bowl, drink it, and then go down and swim."

"I'll taste it too."

"Leave me a bowl and I'll swim up and drink it again."

"I didn't bring any money, my dad didn't give it to me."

There are adults and children, and the weather is too hot, so I want to go down and swim around, cool off and work again.

Or some of them are off today and don't go to work.

Naturally, the children have nothing to do, and several of them want to play in the river together.

The woman hesitated again, and then took a bamboo tube and gave it to the children.

In the woman's accentuating voice, everyone put on their things and went down to the river.

The rest of the place looks pretty much the same.

Li Chengqi stood by the river outside the west gate and watched, and laughed twice.

Pei Yaoqing and Li Yuanhong stood beside Li Chengqi on the left and right, watching together.

The thing was made by Li Chengqi's craftsman alliance yesterday, and the herbal tea was also made by the Li family Zhuangzi last night.

It was hot when it was made, and it was cold after half the night when it was left in the shade of the room.

There was no ice, although there was a lot of ice in the ice cellar of the Li family Zhuangzi.

A barrel of herbal tea can hold more than 150 servings, and when the evening comes, someone from the Zhuangzi will come to see how much is left.

If there is no one left, the people who guard the place give Zhuangzi a hundred yuan, and they keep the rest for themselves.

If there were about thirty portions left, they would pay seventy cents.

As for the money to rent the balls, the same people keep it for themselves.

"Does King Song know how much a barrel of herbal tea costs?" Ten thousand years made Li Yuanhong calculate how much Li Yi benefited from it.

"The recipe for this herbal tea will come out soon, and everyone can make it themselves and know it once you make it."

Li Chengqi didn't answer positively, he knew the cost.

Just make one bucket, and it's about one hundred and twenty dollars, and one hundred and fifty servings.

If you have one penny per piece, you will not waste it, and you will earn thirty dollars, which is a lot, and there is no tax on small transactions.

The premise is that it is made on the same day, and at most it will be put tomorrow, otherwise it will be broken and it will not be sold and it will lose money.

Li Zhuangzi made, hundreds of thousands of barrels at a time, and the cost of a barrel was only about 30 yuan.

The flavors of many ingredients can be fully utilized, boiled out, and the fire is always burning, pot by pot.

Li Chengqi wants to keep it secret, and when others know the recipe, he tries to make it himself, and makes a little bit, and the cost of one copy is estimated to be more than ten yuan.

If you make it in barrels and sell it again, you will find a capital of about 120 yuan.

Considering that the Li family Zhuangzi only needs a hundred yuan, benevolence and righteousness, he will lose money to help others make money.

If you say thirty dollars a bucket, others think, oh, Li Dongzhu is also for money.

"Easy ...... As soon as he thought of Li Dongzhu, the official admired him in his heart, and Li Dongzhu was always able to come up with good ways to help the people. ”

Pei Yaoqing wanted to praise it, and almost shouted 'Brother Yi'.

He was like a thief, he called Brother Yi when he saw Li Yi, and when someone else was there, he called Li Dongzhu.

Li Yuanhong followed and said: "There is a lot of water in Chang'an, and in the summer and autumn of every year, there are many people who die in the river, and those who die are those who think they have good water quality." ”

"There are also children who want to go down to play, but there is no adult to protect them, and the children are actually afraid that they will not be able to go down, they are all on the side, and there are always those who accidentally slip into the depths, and they are hit by big fish."

Pei Yaoqing said solemnly, thinking of the many people who died last year.

Li Chengqi saw others drinking herbal tea there, motioned for the two of them to follow, and said as he walked: "It's okay this year, see how obedient the children are." ”

After taking a few steps, he said again: "Go back and let Yao Xiang write and order all localities to implement it in the village, and Brother Yi will take out 50,000 yuan this time, 50 million yuan."

First, they were sent to the place where the well drilling team was made, and the people there made bamboo, which was worthless and grew quickly.

It is nothing more than a wage, and a craftsman can make such a simple thing in a day, and he can make one hundred and eighty copies, and give forty yuan in wages, which is enough. ”

Li Chengqi also knows how to calculate wages, not how much money is made to make a job, but to consider the average income of a craftsman.

Package day, package day, or a few days, so that the craftsman does not lose, and the one who pays is also profitable.

"Three copies. Come here, come to me and get the money, and buy them separately, don't stare at one place to buy. ”

Li Chengqi put three Kaiyuan Tongbao on the table, and beckoned the guards to come and withdraw the money.

He came out and brought three hundred dollars, no matter how much he didn't bring, Shen.

Sixty men came, and each of them took a copper coin.

"Next time, I should let you bring money with you, and it will be convenient for this king to buy things." Li Chengqi gave out the money, and felt that it was much lighter.

The woman here chose three bamboo bowls that no one had ever touched before and scooped them with herbal tea.

The three of them picked it up and took a small sip to taste it first.

"How?" Li Chengqi asked, he was satisfied anyway.

"It's delicious, quenches your thirst, and it makes your stomach feel good after drinking, and it's even better if you ice it again." Pei Yaoqing said it first, and then made a request.

"I've chilled you." Li Chengqi said Pei Yaoqing and looked at Li Yuanhong.

"It smells of herbs, but you can't taste it." Li Yuanhong wants to analyze the ingredients.

They drank slowly, and the guards scattered to buy it, taking big sipes and pouring them into their mouths, okay.

As a result, some people who don't swim saw it and came to buy it.

There is also a small head of the wharf who comes to ask for a drink and wipe the sweat on his forehead: "One dollar is still too expensive, and the people who carry the work are reluctant." ”

Li Chengqi looked over, and the people on the dock used hand gourds to help lift the big construction things, and the sacks were still carried, especially when they walked the gangplank from the boat.

There were people selling tea on the docks, but they were only sold to the people on the ships and the small bosses.

The person who carried the work sweated and drank cold water directly.

"I'll ask Brother Yi if there's anything cheap for the dock bearer to drink." Li Chengqi muttered.

Li Yuanhong and Pei Yaoqing heard it, nodded at the same time, yes, asked Li Yi.
