Chapter 256: Zhuo Lai is here, minced meat soup (ask for a monthly pass subscription, 1)
The news was quickly released.
Bai Ji's identity is here, and the rest of the Jia people also came by boat after hearing about it. As Jia people, they all have an extremely keen sense of business. Bai Ji casually picks up some gadgets, which all represent business opportunities. It is said that Bai Ji gave Li Zhengxiao Weng tofu in the land of Langya before, and now Langya tofu is quite famous.
Xiao Weng is also famous for selling tofu, and many people get the recipe from Xiao Weng. As long as you work hard, you can make some money. Xiao Weng always remembered Bai Ji's entrustment and asked him not to eat alone. Make sure that there are households in each township pavilion to make tofu and do not interfere with each other. If there is a long distance, they will come to Xiaoweng to learn from the teacher, and they can also do business after they go back.
Don't look at the night Weng didn't make much money, now he has become a pavilion chief, managing hundreds of households. Yoi Weng also has a brain, and the stinky tofu he makes is also famous far and wide. Not long ago, he was thinking of making a sauce with tofu, but he made the bean curd by mistake. The taste is far from good and very salty, and there is no use of wine, but it is more like pickled tofu.
These things have been heard of even by the Jia people in Nanjun. Not to mention the business of paper and steelmaking, many nobles are extremely excited. Now Bai Ji is very kind and gives them a good deal, which they can't carry?
You have to get to Gangneung in a hurry!
The preparatory work in the early stage has been prepared, and now it is put into official operation. As long as they arrive, they will be handed over a little.

……
Harbor Division.
Zhuo Lai is arranging for someone to unload the cargo. He didn't receive Bai Ji's invitation, he came purely by himself. As a wealthy iron merchant in Shudi, now that there is a flood in Nanjun, if he doesn't take the initiative to come over to send some money and grain, then he will want to do business in the future. If the people of Qin Guo Jia want to develop, they must be conscious, and they will not spend money by patronizing to make money, that is, they are looking for death!
So after he got the news, he loaded the goods and rushed over without saying a word. Along the way, a wooden boat sank because it hit a reef, and dozens of people were swept into the rushing river, where they died in the belly of fish and even lost food. From Bashu to Nanjun, it is not close.
"Quick, hurry up and unload."
"Don't be delayed."
"Get things done, and your wages are indispensable."
Zhuo Lai shouted, telling them to hurry up. He got papermaking and steelmaking from Bai Ji, and he became more and more comfortable in Shudi. The construction of the paper mill has begun, and the daily output is extremely impressive. He also built a printing press, and a large number of books were rubbed into books. As for the steelmaking mill, it is simpler, and Zhuo's is a big iron-smelting businessman, and there are many smelting furnaces.
According to the drawings, many of them can be used reluctantly. Moreover, coal mining can be carried out, and the salt from the well can be purified to refined salt, and the business is booming. He has a good personal relationship with Shu County, and coupled with Bai Ji's relationship, many things are all green lights.
At any given time, if a businessman wants to make a lot of money, he must have connections. The Zhuo family moved from Zhao to Shu County, and in order to dredge up the relationship over the years, I don't know how much money was thrown in. Bribery is naturally a capital offense these days, but some things have to be said. For example, if Shu County guards his birthday, how about Zhuo Lai and Qian Wan?
Take the banquet held by Lu Gong in later generations, many nobles took the initiative to send congratulatory gifts. As long as you don't go too far, there's basically nothing to do. Zhuo Lai has lived a prosperous life, and he has not forgotten Bai Ji's teachings. The paper mill pays seventy percent of the tax, and it has to be paid, which can only be said to be a small profit but quick turnover.
Zhuo Lai arranged for someone to pull the goods and go in the direction of Jiangling. I met a lot of Jia people along the way, and they were inspecting the location of the workshop. They themselves are from Namgun and are relatively close to Gangneung, so they arrived early.
Zhuo Lai was also surprised!
Obedient......
What kind of immortal method is this used by Bai Ji?
He has only been in Gangneung for a few days, can he resettle so many victims in Gangneung?
Along the road, I saw a lot of ragged Qiantou, looking hard at the logs. There was a banging everywhere, and a thick smoke swirling through the chimneys in the sky. It's not that there are no new clothes, it's purely because they're doing heavy work, and it's a waste to wear them.
Before entering the city, he was stopped, and Xu Fu picked up a bowl of soup and medicine.
"Zhuo Gong, go into the city after drinking."
"Gong Xu actually came to Jiangling too?!"
Zhuo Lai naturally knew Xu Fu, and immediately brushed his sleeves. Instructed the people behind to drink the decoction first, the taste was extremely bitter, in fact, it was Banlan root. Although it is said that the epidemic is now under control, it cannot be taken lightly. In particular, there are a lot of people coming in and out of Gangneung now, and if it gets out of control, more people will definitely be implicated.
A few days ago, there was an accident with Qianshou.
He actually contracted the epidemic early, but he didn't show it because of his good health. As a result, all the family members were infected, and if Bai Ji hadn't found out in time, I was afraid that it would affect more people. Xu Fu didn't understand, but Bai Jike had heard of it, this may be the legendary super infected, who is immune but will inadvertently infect others.
Because of this, Xu Fu now forces all Qianshou to drink decoction every day, as long as it can clear heat and detoxify. If outsiders want to enter Gangneung, they must drink. After drinking the decoction, Zhuo Lai continued to arrange for people to enter the city......
……
Gangneung Mansion.
This was originally the residence of the county guard, but now it is temporarily owned by Bai Ji for his repair and office. Twenty or so cooks were busy sweating profusely, and today is a business banquet, and many Jia people have arrived. The shots are also quite generous, and most of them are He Qianqian.
Chun Yuyue laughed so much that his mouth was almost crooked, and there were hundreds of Jia people, including Nanjun and several surrounding counties. Their purpose is actually very simple, which is to buy the various workshops in South County. As the so-called trickle of water flows, although the initial investment is high, the follow-up income is definitely considerable. The water system in Namgun is extremely developed, and it is easy to transport goods.
"Doctor."
"Duke Zhuo is here, enter the house quickly, the king has been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhuo Lai smiled and saluted, he had seen Bai Ji's skills. When he arrived in Gangneung on his front foot, it is estimated that Bai Ji already knew.
The hall was extremely lively, with hundreds of people. The white rice is located in the main seat, and there are many steaming meals on the dining table. Nothing else, just a bowl of minced meat soup. It's similar to the baby food of later generations, it's pure rice cereal.
"It's late, forgive me!"
Zhuo Lai bowed, while Bai Ji waved his hand to let him sit down. Many Jia people looked at the minced meat soup on the food table, holding chopsticks a little overwhelmed. They have all heard of the exquisite cooking skills of Baiji Mansion, and delicacies abound. So before they came, they were all hungry, and they were thinking about eating enough at one time!
The result is good, so you will entertain them with this minced meat soup?
