Chapter 485: Killing Pigs to Make Buns
"Lord Wang, the situation has been inquired clearly."
"What's going on?"
"These wealthy families in Shuozhou have all been intimidated by the Lu family, and in the face of the Lu family's power, they dare not produce tofu on a large scale at this time, so they used to buy those enough."
"The Lu family?" Li Yu frowned and asked, "Does he want to monopolize the market?" ”
"That's not true, he just said that he wanted those wealthy families to launch it for a month, otherwise he would be unkind to them."
Li Yu touched his chin, and then snorted.
"Lord ......"
"Damn, this Lu Xin is deliberately against this king, he knows that this king needs to sell gypsum powder to make money, but he just doesn't let those people buy it, isn't this to force this king to give up treating those refugees?"
Li Mochou suddenly understood.
"The Lu family supports the Wing King Li Shang, then Lu Xin naturally wants to go against you, the prince, if you lose your trust in these refugees because of this matter, and want to do things in the fiefdom in the future, I am afraid that no one will believe it."
Li Yu nodded: "I'm afraid that this is exactly the purpose, but if he wants this king to give up this matter because of lack of money, he still underestimates this king." ”
After speaking, Li Yu immediately ordered someone to call Cui Tong.
"Cui Tong, hurry up, rush to Luzhou, inform the Cui family of the production method of tofu, and let them sell tofu."
Cui Tong's expression moved slightly, but he soon understood what Li Yu meant, so he didn't stop, and rushed directly to Luzhou after he responded, Luzhou, which is a state and county controlled by the Cui family, and the power is very huge, and it is just west of Shuozhou.
After Cui Tong left, Li Yu showed a light smile again: "Pass the order, early tomorrow morning, send a cart of tofu to Uncle Ying, and then order, if you don't come to buy gypsum powder for three days, the palace will not do business with him again." ”
After Li Yu finished giving this order, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Lu Xin wanted him to be at the end of his rope, but they also underestimated him Li Yu too much, the secret recipe of gypsum powder was in his hands, and if those wealthy families wanted to do tofu business, they had to buy gypsum powder from him.
If he doesn't sell it, there is nothing anyone can do about these wealthy families.
Now that he is cooperating with the Cui family and Li Jiang, the British king of Hengzhou, he doesn't believe that these wealthy families in Shuozhou are not in a hurry, if they want to occupy the market, they have to hurry, if they don't want to, there will be no chance in the future.
Of course, whether it is going to Cui's house or Li Jiang, it will definitely take a lot of time to go back and forth, but Li Yu needs to gamble, bet that those wealthy families in Shuozhou can't sit still in the face of the interests of tofu, as long as they can't sit still, they will cooperate with themselves again before they can't support themselves.
Then he will have money.
However, Li Yu will not put all his bets on the patience of those wealthy families, he will do one more thing, one thing that completely defeats Lu Xin's patience.
"Someone, kill the pigs in the palace for me, and spare them tomorrow."
There are several pigs in the palace, and they are very large pigs.
Pigs are too dirty, even if they are raised in the palace, Li Yu will never eat them in the past.
The reason why pigs are raised is purely to let the pigs help clean up the dirt in the thatched house.
Normally, behind the thatched hut is the pigsty.
These pigs have been raised for a long time and have not been killed, mainly because Li Yu does not eat them.
Now seeing that Li Yu wants to kill the pig, Li Mochou is very puzzled.
"Lord Wang, what are you doing here?"
"Make something delicious."
Li Mochou was very puzzled, in fact, even she didn't eat pork.
However, Li Yu didn't mean to explain too much, but hurriedly opened the system mall and spent 10 gold coins to buy the technology of making alkaline noodles, so after purchasing, he made some alkaline noodles overnight.
After the alkaline noodles were made, he began to make noodles.
Because it was winter, the temperature at night was even colder, so in order to make the noodles open, he put them in the pot after mixing them, and ordered someone to heat the pot.
When everything is done, the sky is already white, and you can faintly hear the rooster crowing.
Li Yu was sleepy, so he went to the bedroom to sleep first, and finally got up until it was almost noon.
After getting up, Li Yu was not idle, and immediately began to make steamed buns and steamed buns.
The steamed bread of his era is actually cake-shaped, because there is no alkaline noodles, it will not be fluffy at all, and it is okay to eat it, but the taste is much worse than that of steamed bread.
As for the buns, there are basically none.
Li Yu made most of the noodles he had last night into steamed buns, and a small part into meat buns.
After this is done, put it in a pot and steam, if the heat is high, it will take a stick of incense for a while.
Li Mochou watched Li Yu busy and wanted to help, but in the face of these things Li Yu did, she didn't know how to do it, she was a killer after all, and she was really not good at this kind of cooking.
And when she was in a hurry, she was also very curious, what could her prince steam out?
The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and when the lid of the pot was lifted, a white gas filled the air, and the white fat steamed buns in the pot were revealed.
Seeing these steamed buns, which are white like a woman's twin peaks, people can't help but want to take a bite.
When Li Mochou looked at it, he couldn't help blushing.
"Lord Wang, what are you ...... What is this? ”
Li Yu saw Li Mochou's shy appearance, very strange, this is a very common steamed bun in later generations, why is Li Mochou shy?
But he quickly understood, and after he understood, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, people like himself who had seen everything didn't think much about it, why did Li Mochou have a dirty mind?
Looks like this woman knows a lot.
Li Yu thought in his heart, he couldn't help but give birth to a nameless fire, but when the fire was lined up below, it was suddenly extinguished, Li Yu looked embarrassed, and after scolding secretly, he said: "This is a steamed bun, it's delicious, do you want to taste one?" ”
Li Mochou had already calmed down at this time, looking at the steaming steamed buns, she really had an appetite, and couldn't help but take a bite.
After Li Mochou ate one here, he couldn't help but eat another one, but Li Yu took a bun and ate it.
Li Mochou saw Li Yu eating steamed buns, and was stunned for a moment: "Lord Wang, this is pork, do you eat it too?" ”
"The pork buns are delicious, they can flow oil when you bite into them, and they are fragrant." Saying that, Li Yu took a bite, this is an ordinary meat bun, which cannot be compared with those famous buns, but in this era, it is already very good to have such a bun to eat.
After biting into the bun, the meat filling inside was really oily, and Li Yu ate it with relish, Li Mochou couldn't help but want to drool when he watched him eat the bun.
However, she doesn't eat pork on weekdays, which makes her very entangled.
