Chapter Fifty-Eight: It Takes No Effort
The atmosphere suddenly changed from hot chicken blood to cold reckoning. It was Zhen Shuang who spoke, and the honest Brother Shuang suddenly caused waves of white eyes, and Zhen Ling also pulled Zhen Shuang in private.
Zhen Shuang was a little aggrieved, he was almost the only real helper in the exhibition hall, so he cared about the hope that winemaking and future spirits could bring to Wangjiang Tower.
"Four pounds of money, we can't be less, we have to catch up with the price increase." Zhen Feng said happily: "Brother True, you go and write a notice, in the future, 'drunk life and dream death' will be limited to twenty catties per day, and the price will be different every day, the price will be linked to the increase in the price of official salt, the price of official salt will rise several times, and the price of 'drunk and dreaming of death' will rise several times on the basis of the consistent money of one catty." Now the price of official salt has risen more than four times, so 'drunk life and dream death' is four pounds of money. ”
Many people stuck out their tongues, and even Zhantang's eyes widened, and said, "Brother Feng, will it be too expensive?" ”
Everyone echoed one after another, it is better to rob than to rob a pound of wine, and even a robbery is not as fast as a pound of wine. Zhen Feng shook his head and said, "What we are selling is not wine, but a kind of gamble. The whole Jiangning City knows that the price of salt will rise, and there is no head, so buying wine a day earlier is value-added, as long as a few days later, you can make a lot of money by selling the wine, if you are a rich businessman or a wealthy family, do you buy it? ”
Zhang Qu was the first to understand, nodded and said, "That's true, it's just that if the price is lowered over there, won't no one buy our wine?" ”
"Flower Building? Ignore it, they can't turn it over. Don't even bother with it. ”
"That's true, but isn't it good for us to do this, raise prices and disrupt people's livelihoods? In the end, it is the rich who benefit. ”
"Don't worry, if you can afford to buy a pound of wine, it won't be the ordinary people, what we want to cut is the leeks of the rich, let them go crazy first, one day, they will be completely crazy."
"What do you mean by cutting leeks?"
"Completely crazy, can this wine still make people crazy?"
Faced with the confusion of everyone's whispering, Zhen Feng no longer continued to explain: "Brother Zhen, you are responsible for keeping an eye on this matter, as long as you ensure that the daily sales limit is 20 catties, and the price changes with the increase in the price of official salt, you don't have to pay attention to the rest, even if the price in the market is speculated to ten yuan a catty, don't care." ”
After that, Zhen Feng explained other matters, that is, the suspension of dine-in dishes, the preparation of the aunt Wu to accept apprentices, the restaurant to really become a wine seller, and the origin of culinary training.
The Wu family was surprised that the first apprentice would actually be the cook of the Xu Mansion. I have worked hard for half my life, almost no different from being a cow and a horse, and now I want to become the master of the chef of the Gongfu, although the status of the cook is not high, but the water will rise with the Gongfu.
Everyone was envious, but Zhen Feng poured a plate of cold water and hot water: "Look at your little bit of talent, wait for the chefs of the Xu Mansion to teach well, and strive to harvest the chefs in the palace into disciples in the next step." In the future, if you want to make many fresh and delicious dishes quickly in Jiangning City, you will have to come to worship your aunt as a teacher. ”
After arranging the two major business directions, Zhen Feng entered his preset theme: "There is a very important thing I have to ask you." Have you ever seen or heard of salt poisoning, such as eating untreated rock salt, salt mine poisoning, and purple all over the body? ”
Many children shook their heads, they were still young and not yet fully concerned with firewood, rice, oil and salt. Martin and Zhang also shook their heads. Daoist Zhang, who had been sitting next to him resting, pondered, and his quiet father stopped talking on the bed, looking a little restrained.
Zhen Feng saw the difference, so he asked, "Uncle An, you are older and have gone through so many hard roads, have you ever heard of this kind of thing?" ”
Antao bit his lip and said softly, "I...... I've seen ......."
"You've seen it?"
"Yes, in my hometown of Qingjiang County, there is a forbidden place there, and the elders have told them not to go there to eat indiscriminately, which will anger the mountain god. When I was a child, there was a famine, my friends and I went to the mountains and forests to look for food, we went separately to look for it, one of the partners may have reached the edge of the forbidden land, and found that there was a beautiful solid on the rock wall, it happened to rain, and the water on it tasted salty, and the partner was so hungry that he chiseled the solid, mixed it with wild vegetables and boiled it, and it was very delicious when he ate, but after eating, his whole body turned purple and he had diarrhea, and when we found him, he was almost dead...... Later, hey...... After that, we all knew that the mountain god would punish those who approached the forbidden place and ate indiscriminately, and no one dared to go again. ”
Many people were silent when they heard it, Zhen Feng knew that this was a tragic story, and it was undoubtedly a shadow in Uncle Antao's heart. Zhen Feng asked some details carefully, and based on these descriptions, it was indeed particularly like a poisoning state caused by rock salt impurities. Even eating impurities such as potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, nitrate, phosphorus and potassium in rock salt together is equivalent to treating the body as a water purifier, which is looking for death.
However, there is no corroboration, and it is not enough to rely on Uncle An's words alone. At this time, Daoist Zhang suddenly said: "What Fang Cai An Jushi said, Lao Dao seems to be a little impressed. When the old Tao traveled all over the world, he also went to Qingjiang County, which is located about two hundred miles south of Nanchang, and he did hear of the forbidden land. However, there is indeed rock salt there, but that kind of salt is not edible, and the old way will forget it in the future. If it weren't for An Jushi mentioning the forbidden land in Qingjiang County, Lao Dao wouldn't have remembered it. ”
Qingjiang County, by the way, it should be here, no wonder I listened to the quiet introduction at the time, and after the benefactor of Lanzhou's little lady Zheng Yanshu was demoted, I felt strange in my heart, it turned out that this was the camphor tree in my memory. The ancient place names made him ignore this memory. It is the place with the most salt production in Jiangxi, which can occupy more than ninety percent and has reserves of tens of billions of tons, which is also one of the largest in the land of China. With the rock salt here, Nantang can not only solve the trouble of the Wei Ruan, but may also be able to survive for a while. It really didn't take much effort to get it!
"That's it!" Zhen Feng smiled, but immediately realized that something was wrong, other people's memories of rock salt as a disaster, he couldn't sprinkle salt on his wound, and hurriedly said: "Knowing where there is rock salt, maybe you won't have to suffer the curse of the forbidden land in the future." ”
Some of the second monks were confused, and they didn't know what Zhen Feng was talking about. Zhen Feng naturally didn't dare to say much, there were many people, if someone knew that he could purify and remove the toxic impurities, it would be an obstacle that must be eliminated for Wei Ruan and the instigators and beneficiaries behind it.
Zhen Feng asked everyone to go back to their posts, and he chatted with Daoist Zhang and Uncle An about the forbidden rock salt in Qingjiang County. At this time, Zidie shyly tugged Zhen Feng's sleeve from behind, and seeing Zhen Feng turn around, she lowered her head and asked softly, "Zhen ...... Big brother, I haven't arranged Purple Butterfly's work, I wonder if Purple Butterfly will continue to teach children music? ”
In the past month, Zidie had nothing to do at first, and she couldn't help with many tasks, so she complained to Wu. Wu enlightened her, since Zhen Feng hired her as a Xixi musician to train the children, then she would teach music after the evening, when the children's work stopped. She did do it conscientiously, but it didn't seem to be beneficial to Wangjiang Tower, and she didn't know whether she should continue to do it.
"Okay, okay, Purple Butterfly, your job is very important, so that the children can cultivate their bodies and minds, and they can also open their mouths to express themselves, which is very good. I have an idea in my heart, and when I'm done with this time, I'll talk to you about it again. ”
Purple Butterfly left happily, but her face was a little red when she left. An Tao and Daoist Zhang also looked at him with smiles. Zhen Feng suddenly realized that the second half of his sentence was ambiguous and somewhat misleading.
It's better to slip away first. Zhen Feng immediately ran away and went to find Xu You with a jar of wine.
