Chapter 11 Prices

Cheng Wenying stopped and thought about it: "Also, this method is like your ruler last night, the reason is extremely simple, why did anyone think of it today?" ”

Su You put his hands behind his back, quietly rubbed his red little hand and said, "Then this is my quirk, I like to think about things in detail." ”

Cheng Wenying nodded: "Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of being fine, the master's deep meaning should be here." ”

Su Banniang took over the conversation and said: "Shiyue said that Uncle Xiao was cooking yesterday, and what she told the cook was also Grandpa's words. ”

Cheng Wenying had a complicated expression on his face and sighed: "I'm still worried that you won't be able to study and establish yourself, but now it seems that you are too worried." Only realize the fine one to such a point, and the virtuous nephew can go to the world. But this is said to the fat man in the kitchen...... Hahaha, most of it is the pearl that has been secretly invested. ”

Su You snickered: "It's not a secret investment, at least he also learned two dishes, right?" Haven't you learned how to handle the delicate part and the rough part of the ingredients separately? This cooking technique is taken to the next level. There is no class in teaching, this is also what the master said. ”

Cheng Wenying stroked his beard and quipped: "A "Analects" can be regarded as being used by you, eh, I said, are you only going to do this?" ”

The three of them came out laughing, and Su You took two rolls of drawings and ran to find Lao Yu.

Lao Yu was directing Yu Da and Yu Er to prepare for work, and when he saw Su You coming, he hurriedly came over to greet him: "Mr. Xiao is here, I turned out the engraving today, and the unsuitable preparation is refined, with vernier calipers, I have to do it without a millimeter to finish it!" ”

Su You looked like a little adult: "Yu Gong's attitude is commendable, but I have designed a drawing, in addition to measuring the width, it can also measure the inner diameter, and the accuracy can be finer." ”

Lao Yu's eyes are full of circles, the news came too suddenly, and he needs to digest it well: "Finer? Mr. Little, this is going to ...... How do you say that? Precise, yes is precise, Mr. Xiao is going to be accurate? ”

Su You said: "I couldn't do it at that time, but I thought about it last night, and I can make it a foot and three points, I call it a small ruler." In the same way, you can get a small inch, a small cent, and finally fall on the vernier caliper, and the accuracy can be increased by three times, accurate to one-third of the centimeter, I call it a small centimeter. ”

This is almost close to the accuracy of modern micrometers, increasing the accuracy to about 0.1 thousandths of a millimeter.

Lao Yu patted his head and his eyes lit up: "Why can't my pig brain think of this, I have to be reminded by Mr. Xiao!" Don't worry, this drawing will be understood at a glance, and it will be handed over to me, and you will definitely see a few rulers with higher precision when you come back tonight! ”

Su You thought for a while, and added: "Another point, that is, this time the scale auxiliary ruler is adjustable. Because of the change of climate and moisture, it may lead to the phenomenon that when the calipers are closed, the zero degree of the main and auxiliary rulers can no longer coincide, which I call deviation. The secondary ruler is designed to be adjustable, so that this error can be corrected at any time. ”

Lao Yu admired it so much that he threw himself to the ground, and he had already regarded Su You as the reincarnation of Luban, obeyed his words, patted his chest and promised to do a good job.

Out of the gate, Cheng Wenying sent Su Banniang on a soft sedan chair, ready to call Su You a top, but Su You said that he wanted to walk more, and by the way, he had to visit the scenery of Meishan City, and Cheng Wenying had to let him.

After each of them opened and walked out for a while, Banniang thanked Su You softly.

I hurriedly left Su You last night, just to see my child earlier, the mother and son are now reunited, Banniang's mood couldn't be better, and her heart is gone, and she suddenly feels very relaxed.

Walking along the bluestone road to the outside of the city, the style of the ancient city of Sichuan in the Song Dynasty made Su You feel more novel and cordial.

The few remote towns I helped in my previous life are really similar to the current Meishan City.

On both sides of the bluestone pavement are gutters, which are covered with stone slabs.

This is amazing, the poor county, both sides of the road are often yang ditches, there is no other meaning, the stone can save a little bit of it.

Above the gutter are the eaves, and the rainwater from the eaves has been fixed on the stone slabs for a long time, and the stone slabs have been punched out of two rows of small pits along the street.

Every once in a while, the stone slabs on the gutter are carved with large copper coin-shaped water inlet holes.

On both sides of the road are the houses of the burghers, a new class formed for the first time in China.

The emergence of the burgher class illustrates the rise of the service industry and handicrafts, which is fully reflected in the life picture on both sides of the streets of Meishan City.

Small food shops, dried fruit shops, grain and oil shops, wine shops, cloth shops, silk shops, bamboo shops, palm shops, grocery shops...... It's a dizzying trip along the way, and the scale is not large, but the advantage is that the items are abundant.

There are also many peculiar phenomena, such as a lot of farmers carrying dung buckets, buying the dung and urine in the toilets of various residents along the street, and generally a family's contribution can be sold for one or two pennies a night, which is the best farm fertilizer.

Then there are those who sell firewood, and the residents can still distinguish the miscellaneous firewood, and bargain according to the degree of burn resistance, and a load of firewood is also a small business of dozens of yuan.

There are even those who sell water directly, and this water is carried into the city by people from outside the city to sell, and the water is sold to people far away from the well, depending on the distance, and it is also more than ten dollars.

Su You asked Banniang why people with wells in the city don't sell water, Banniang smiled in the sedan chair, people who can dig wells, it's not bad money, it's too late to take good care of the well, how can you sell your own feng shui wealth, that's not a failure?

Curiously inquiring about the price all the way, the citizens saw a child asking questions, knowing that he would not buy it, but they also suppressed their impatience while looking at the face of the small sedan chair next to him, and replied with a smile.

Just kidding, what about the sedan chair of the richest man in Meishan, Mr. Cheng! If you accidentally offend, then you will be offended.

Fortunately, this little young master is curious, and he is not one of those bear children from small households, who are polite and don't say anything, don't reach out and touch them, just ask with a smile.

After inquiring all the way, Su You already knew a lot of interesting discoveries that overturned the impression of his previous life.

For example, the price of food is really not expensive, as far as breakfast in Sichuan is concerned, a cooking cake is only sold for five cents.

Then the funny thing is that the five cents are stuffed, and the fillings are generally such as capers, sauerkraut, and fresh leeks.

The one without the stuffing is more expensive, and it costs seven cents, because it is a real food, and it takes longer to be full.

Coupled with a bowl of corn porridge for two pennies, you can basically deal with a breakfast.

Of course, you have to eat better, and there are also many snacks to choose from, such as soup, pulp, pancakes, etc., to eat full, you have to get fifteen wen.

Ordinary wine, such as bad wine, is only 100 wen a catty, and some good honey wine is only 200 wen.

Of course, there are also expensive ones, such as Su You, who saw the consistent price of burning spring, pear blossom white, that is a thousand yuan.

Tea is a special case in Sichuan, and the government does not specialize in it, but it cannot be sold to the rest of the Song Dynasty outside Sichuan, so it is very cheap, but only 500 wen a catty.

Of course, there are also small tea cakes with consistent prices, and there are high-end goods that are said to be from Jianzhou, and that thing is a cake in all directions!

And then it's not as imagined by later generations, if you have culture, your income must be high, and the porters on the edge of the city, pestle and other people are recruited, just like the mountain city of later generations.

Similarly, the copyist on the edge of the city, the cost of calling a day is also 200 Wen, but this is the base number, and if it exceeds a certain number of words, it will be discounted according to the number of words.

Salt is still monopolized now, but private salt is also in a semi-open state in Sichuan, a pound is only seventy Wen, all of them are blocks, and the price of copper coins is equivalent to that of Bianjing, which is already very cheap.

Su You's later generations read a lot of history books, and knew that many poor families could not afford to eat the seventy pounds of salt, so they hung a small piece with a rope and put it in the vegetable soup, even if they had let go of the salt.

Rice, each stone is only 800 Wen, a bucket of 80 Wen.

Compared with the personal income of residents, meat is not expensive, the most expensive beef, 100 wen a catty, pork 40 or 50 wen a catty, mutton in between, with the market.

But the fun part is that the fatter the more expensive, no one buys lean meat, and it is upside down with future generations.

But the clothes are expensive, an old linen cloth in the garment shop, the movement is also a few hundred wen, and the silk clothes with slightly better color will be through.

Silk shoes, leather boots, that is the consistent to several high-quality goods.

Among the clothes, kapok clothing and kudzu clothing are even more expensive.

Su You silently calculated his own body in his heart, a ramie underwear, a green kudzu shirt, a pair of silk pants, and a pair of silk shoes, even if he was a child, he couldn't get it without consistent money.
