Chapter 865: Pu Shan

Allah has said that there are people who are proud of what they have done. Love is praised for what you have not done, and you should never think that they will be freed from punishment, but in fact they will be punished with pain.

Pu Shan felt that accepting the free breakfast offered by the inn without contributing was an act that should be ashamed and punished.

But the breakfast was so delicious that Pu Shan still didn't resist the temptation.

The guys at the post house have begun to write the prices of the main goods of Cochin in chalk on the large blackboard outside the hall.

This is called "water card", and every product will be marked with chalk on the water card every day for reference price.

Even businessmen who come to Yunzhou Port for the first time can have a number in their hearts and not be deceived too ruthlessly.

If you live in a post house built in Sitong, you can enjoy extremely comfortable personal service, from the moment you wake up in the morning, you will have a fine free breakfast, a well-ironed newspaper, and a car and horse rental ......

It can also help you contract banquets, auctions, and help customers contact merchants......

If you apply for an annual card, or have important economic contacts with Sitong, the service can be upgraded, and you can even get crazy rebates such as sending ships, cars, and houses.

When the two had dinner together, the villager asked Pu Shan to inquire about the prices of the small white buildings around, the climate and scenery here are beautiful and pleasant, and he wanted to buy a property as a place to stay when he traveled to and from the South China Sea in the future.

After the two had breakfast, Pu Shan sent his fellow villagers out, and saw that the elegant carriage of the Sitong Commercial House was already waiting in front of the post house, and the little guy driving the car was diligently wiping the shiny carriage.

The envoys of Srivijaya and Java also came out, and the two looked at each other angrily, then snorted and ignored each other.

When they got into the car, the envoys of the two countries did not drive the same car, and in the end, his fellow countryman and the envoy of Japo got into the same car, and Pu Shan saw that the car sank significantly.

The fellow turned around and threw a silver coin and a small bag of copper coins to Pu Shan: "Pu Shan, remember to inquire about the house." ”

Seeing off the fellow villagers, Pu Shan walked along the beautiful path to the city branch office.

The road is paved with bluestone, with ditches on both sides, and in the middle is a beautiful mat-patterned street paved with bluestone strips.

It is said that the direction of the mat pattern also indicates the direction of the carriage, and there are rules here, and the carriage, horses, and pedestrians have to keep to the right.

On both sides of the road are beautiful little white houses, each with a small garden in front of it, and palm trees on the side of the road between the houses.

Next to the branch of the city is the Sitong Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce is a pure Chinese-style hall building, under the big plaque of "home away" at the door, the neatly dressed little guy saw Pu Shan, and shouted something to a few scholars on the bench next to him.

After seeing what Pu Shan was wearing, one of the scholars got up and came over, and asked Pu Shan in a big food dialect: "This official, do you need an interpreter?" ”

Pu Shan wanted to say no, but the language barrier was indeed a problem, so she still asked, "How much?" ”

The scholar said: "Two hundred wen a day." ”

The fellow gave himself only a hundred wen a day, and Pu Shan felt that she should learn the Great Song dialect as soon as possible.

Fortunately, today's situation is special, and the fellow gave more rewards, Pu Shan gritted her teeth, counted twenty copper coins to the scholar, and said: "There is still half, and I will give it after I am done." ”

After knowing that Pu Shan was here to inquire about the house, he led him to a luxurious reception room, and a middle-aged Song man received him.

After negotiation, Pu Shan knew that in addition to being able to buy, the house here can also be rented for a long time, and it also includes many services.

For example, when the owner is away, the house maintenance, sanitation and cleaning, garden construction and maintenance, and even sublease and monopoly for the owner, it is really so intimate and caring.

According to the Song people, Pu Shan is the first merchant to inquire about the house, as a publicity effect, the Sitong business can also give Pu Shan a discount, now Yunzhou real estate must be a depression of value, the house price has not yet risen, a small building, only need 800 yuan.

Of course, 800 guan is just a simple outfit, if you want to get such as the hot water faucet, ceramic toilet bathtub bathroom, solid wood floor wardrobe, silk curtains, crystal windows such enjoyment, it is a sky-high price.

However, the company can also undertake such renovation projects.

Pu Shan was dumbfounded, so she had to confess that she had come to inquire for her fellow countrymen, and could only faithfully convey her opinions back.

Song Ren was not angry, explained the policy to him with a smile, and grabbed a few things wrapped in wax paper from the glass jar in front of the desk and gave it to him.

Pu Shan bowed respectfully and secretly opened one, wrapped in wax paper, which was the magical glass-like candy cube that the young man had broken last night, but the color was as bright as a gem.

Pu Shan put an orange into her mouth, and a wonderful orange smell and sweet taste immediately filled her mouth.

The sourness in fruit candy is actually a by-product of molasses.

The research and extraction of fermentation strains in the Heavenly Master's Mansion now also has a family of bacteria, one of which is called black mold.

When a mixture of molasses and paste is added to black mold for fermentation, a clear bacterial solution with a very strong sour taste is obtained.

The sour taste of this liquid is very similar to that of citrus, and the little celestial master calls it orange acid.

The bacterial liquid is filtered and lime milk is added to it to obtain a mixed precipitating substance, which is composed of calcium carbonate and calcium orange, which can be filtered and separated again.

Sulfuric acid is added to the precipitation, and calcium carbonate and calcium orange acid become calcium sulfate, which becomes gypsum precipitate, carbon dioxide overflows, and the rest is orange acid solution.

Filtered again, baking soda was added to the orange acid solution, and extracted through evaporation crystallization, a material that is very convenient to preserve and use is obtained - orange acid.

This thing was used by the Cheng family to tann leather, and was used by the Shi family to mix with ammonia to clean metal, which has an effect on copper and iron, highlighting the pattern of flower steel, and it is more delicate.

Sujia weaving and dyeing is used as a dye fixing agent, and when it falls into the hands of foodies like Su You, fruit candy and orange wine are conjured.

Therefore, the orange-flavored fruit candy and fruit wine have little to do with oranges, and they are made by Su You with cane sugar, sake, orange salt, and orange flavor, and even the color is orange made of red yeast rice and gardenia yellow.

Similarly, there are mints and mint wine.

Of course, Pu Shan will not understand the production method of these things, he just thinks that the East is really magical, the Song people are really happy, and they must have received the gift of Allah from heaven.

The people of the Chamber of Commerce are quite efficient, and they came out of the Chamber of Commerce, but in half a day, the scholar earned a hundred wen in such a short time, which made Pu Shan a little envious.

The two were about to say goodbye, when they saw a big car stop at the door, and the cars were all some thin-necked pots with thick glazes, one with a capacity of about ten catties.

Pu Shan sniffled, keenly aware that it was the kind of spice she smelled at the banquet yesterday, so she asked the interpreter, "What is this spice called?" How much is a can? ”

The interpreter was about to step forward to inquire, when he heard the two teenagers who got off the bus turn their heads, and a young man like a scribe said: "This is a new product, ready to be shipped to Bianjing City, not a commodity, and there is no fixed price." ”

Pu Shan was overjoyed: "Do you speak the language of food?" This is great, if I want to sell this kind of goods, I wonder if Lang Jun can introduce the proprietor for me? ”

"Oh?" Another teenager dressed as a samurai smiled: "You like this too?" ”

"With it, the food will be much more delicious, but I don't know what the price is, and if it's too expensive, I won't be able to afford it, but if it's the right price, I'm willing to try it," Pu Shan said. ”

The young man who looked like a scribe nodded: "It's rare to have a beard who likes this, so you can come with us." ”

……

In the hall of the city branch, the central hall is an extremely long gorgeous square table.

The envoys of various countries, dressed in various costumes, sat around a large and magnificent table, and behind them were the great merchants of their respective countries, and there was a lot of noise.

Su You spread his hands in the middle, with a helpless expression, which is a bit like the famous oil painting of later generations - "The Last Supper".

Li Shunju couldn't stand the copper smell in this hall, and the eunuchs were so greedy, but Li Shunju always felt that he was an exception, and he disdained to be in the same room with these pot-bellied businessmen.

So this matter is handed over to Su You, Mingrun, the pit you dug can only be filled by yourself.
