Chapter 588: Folk Studies Lesson in Jiuyuan County
In October, the heat gathered in Dingxiang City finally began to subside, the cold winter came, everyone did not nest at home in the winter, but packed their bags, and took the carriage to the south, several carriages and horses in Dingxiang and Shanyang, thousands of carts, all full of people, these are in response to the call of the imperial court, want to use the winter time, to Shanyang to catch up with the workers.
At the same time, on the Yangtze River, a boatload of Zhuangding transported from the northeast also landed at the wharf along the river, and lawyer Pei had to arrange food, accommodation, and demarcate the work area for these new workers who kept coming every day.
And what is Sun Xiangfu doing?
He was teaching the common people.
"After the autumn harvest! In fact, our fields can be planted with a season of rape, or peas, rape peas and wheat growth time is about the same, but planting rape will affect the planting of double cropping rice next year, so our experimental field will definitely not be planted.
But I suggest that if you need more labor in the farming industry or in other areas, you can plant one season of rapeseed and then another season of medium rice next year.
The first is that it is more economical to grow rapeseed, and now, stir-fried vegetables are more popular in our Datang, and it will become more and more popular, and the price of rapeseed oil is going up all the way.
The second is that it saves a lot of work than planting two crops of rice, and once two crops of rice are planted, the labor force in the family will be busy almost from the beginning of the year until the end of the autumn, and it will not be able to bear it. ”
After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, the more than 1,000 people who came to the temporary folk school in Jiuyuan County to listen to the lecture nodded their heads one after another to show that they understood.
Most of the ordinary people in this era lack knowledge, do not know how to plan reasonably, allocate production, and do not know how to combine crop cultivation with market demand.
The so-called temporary folk school, just in a vacant land in the city, set up a shelf, erected a blackboard, although the Dongting Lake area after October is not as cold as the north, but there is also a bit of cold wind, however, Sun Xiangfu has been here to teach the people for half a month, simply, the classroom will be built soon, after that, he will be able to instill these knowledge to the people under better conditions.
"Thank you Mr. Sun for giving us all the doubts, we will go back and grab the rape seeds you got for us, by the way, what dishes will you teach us today?"
Winter rape in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is planted in September and October, although it is a little late now, but this wintering crop, planted a little later, will not affect the growth, and the winter here is quite warm.
"Before sowing, remember to prepare the field according to the requirements, I specially asked the painter to draw the requirements of the field into a color atlas, and later, it will be posted on the bulletin board of all villages, you follow the steps drawn on the atlas, the whole is the same, and then sow the seeds, so that next year will definitely be high-yield, as for the food that you will teach you to cook today!" It's called fishmeal.
Let's look at it, first put the fish slices, fish bones and fish heads, put them in the ginger and garlic fried clear soup to boil, and then boil the fish soup, and then use a colander to put powder and fish fillets, the fish fillets are cooked in boiling water as soon as the soup is cooked, our homemade rice noodles are also, a little fish, you can get out of the pot, sprinkle a little salt, sesame oil, a little green onion, sauerkraut foam, a little bit of soybean paste, it is a very delicious food, if there are green vegetables in the vegetable field, you can also choose fresh lettuce, coriander and the like, blanch it in the fish soup and eat, tofu can also be added to the fish head soup to cook, If you like to eat sour, you can also add some vinegar, which is a convenient and quick way to solve the problem of food for the whole family. ”
Sun Xiangfu explained, while on a carbon stove and a pot, actually taught them to operate, the people's home-cooked food, pay attention to a simple material, easy to make, if it is really used to sell outside, the killed fish, but also with cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, soup good rice noodles, and finally need to add some spices or fried fennel beans in it to make a decoration, which will be more delicious.
Sun Xiangfu told the people about these points one by one, so that they could do it themselves when they went back, after all, for this simple and cheap snack, the taste of this thing is generally not the pursuit of perfection, it is distinctive, and it can be regarded as delicious.
"How's that, easy! Is there anyone who wants to come up and try to cook by themselves, the fastest learner, can be the first to follow the caravan and go to the Gangneung wharf to set up a stall······"
More than half a month, enough for Sun Xiangfu to get some things that are not too difficult to teach the people, pickled salted duck eggs, happy village, there has long been mature technology, lo-mei, which is loved by everyone, after Wangjianglou researched, it has long been spread to the people, and now, Chang'an and Weinan New Town, there are a lot of vendors selling lo-mei, all of which only need Sun Xiangfu to write a letter, the introduction of mature technology, and, even if it is the introduction of technology, it can also make its unique characteristics.
For example, the ducks in Jiuyuan County are all raised in the river beach, not like the landlubbers raised in cages in Guanzhong, the ducks here eat fish and shrimp in the river, algae, and some insects and earthworms in the rice fields, and they are fatter than the landlubbers in Guanzhong who grow up eating a relatively single wheat bran feed or grass feed.
Moreover, the duck meat is boiled out more flavorful, and even the duck eggs are not the same, the duck eggs of the ducks stocked here, after pickling, cooked and cut, the egg yolk is full of red and red oil, now the people of Datang, but they love to eat something with an oily smell, after the first batch of duck eggs made by the egg factory are pickled, the appearance, taste, everyone says that it is good, Sun Xiangfu is not enough to eat two in a meal, and after that, it may become the designated procurement ingredients of Wangjiang Tower.
"I'll do it, I'll do it·····"
Soon, there are people who have memorized the whole set of procedures to get started, it is a woman in her thirties, in this folk class, but no matter what kind of man or woman, there is no need to be ashamed, as long as you have mastered a skill, or have a specialty in a certain area, the county will be exposed, and immediately there will be a chamber of commerce manager waiting next to you, to talk to you about the employment contract, and even, women who do not occupy the labor of the head of the family will be given priority.
After a while, this woman named Mrs. He cooked a bowl of fishmeal according to the procedure that Sun Xiangfu had just taught, Sun Xiangfu tasted it himself, and the taste was not bad with his own cooking, and he took it to Wangjianglou to sell, maybe it would be sold for more than 100 wen a bowl, but in Jiangling, which is rich in fish goods, a roadside stall is set up, and at most it will sell a bowl of eight to ten wen, which is still because the amount is enough, and the fish meat is cooking wine that has been fishy.
In fact, its actual cost is only two to three cents, because, for a penny here, you can buy a pound of ground rice noodles, a pound of rice noodles, you can beat nearly three pounds of rice noodles, two or three pounds of noodles, and you can cook at least five bowls of noodles.
And the fish that is longer than chopsticks in the river, the market price here is generally only one or two pennies a catty, and some are even sold directly, this is because after the price of grain in Datang is lower, the price of raw materials for all food categories is also lower, and the output of fish in the lake area is already more, Jiuyuan County is full of rivers that can be fished, and villages have fish ponds and various fishing tools, and the actual cost of fish meat is even lower.
"Well, your skills are enough to follow the Chamber of Commerce to the dock to set up a stall, remember, the signboard of your stall is called 'Jiuyuan Fishmeal'."
Sun Xiangfu praised it, and the woman immediately laughed out of her front teeth, and followed the people from the Chamber of Commerce to the dock of Jiangling City to set up a stall, and gave a hundred clerks a day! Unexpectedly, it only took me half an hour to learn a craft that could earn three times a month.
Recently, there have been many famous snack cities starting with "Jiuyuan" from Sun Xiangfu, such as "Jiuyuan Duck Neck", "Jiuyuan Salted Duck Eggs", "Jiuyuan Braised Lomei", "Jiuyuan Teppanyaki", "Jiuyuan Duck Blood Powder", "Jiuyuan Bridge Rice Noodles", "Jiuyuan Ma Duck Hot Pot", "Jiuyuan Snow Cake" and so on, all of which are to help local people establish brands, make their own output into characteristics, and sell them better.
Soon, the people of the Chamber of Commerce contacted this Aunt He, and made an appointment for the later training, as well as the time of the stall, in the past half a month, like this, in the classroom, the people who were hired by the Jiuyuan County Chamber of Commerce have exceeded 500 people.
Of course, it is the Chamber of Commerce, in fact, that is, the people of several towns under Jiuyuan County, some literate people who have been elected, and some foreign households from the north, have united to form an organization dedicated to the development of commerce in the county, and use all the people's surplus grain production after the autumn harvest as start-up capital, build factories, recruit workers, and then, with the remaining money, make some wooden seats, and things that can be cooked, in the later southern night market, commonly known as 'ghost cars'.
There is no way, the shops at the wharf are too expensive, and now seeing that Shannan Road is about to rise, the general proprietors are unwilling to transfer, and the cost of buying land and building shops in Dacheng is too high, and everyone does not have so much money, so Sun Xiangfu had to come up with such a way to help them accumulate initial development funds.
"Okay, in the next class, Master Luo from the back kitchen of Wangjiang Building in Chang'an, will tell you how to kill ducks, and everyone applauds and welcomes."
"Teacher Sun, does this duck killing also have skills?" Many people who have been raising ducks for several years immediately asked, now that the living conditions are better, there are many people who raise a relatively large number of ducks.
"Of course, you look at how people slaughter it, and you know what it means to be professional."
Soon, Master Luo's duck was slaughtered in public, first of all, it was bloodletting, everyone knows that duck blood is a more delicious thing than pig blood, used for powder, or hot pot, it is very good, this duck blood, everyone is usually willing to stay.
However, in addition to this knife bloodletting, people's whole routine is different from their usual duck killing, this Master Luo, in fact, is a young man who is in charge of slaughtering in Wangjiang Tower, performing duck killing in front of thousands of people, he is a little restrained, he only knows the movements of his hands, and he doesn't know what to say.
When Sun Xiangfu saw this scene, he said, "Look, he is taking duck feathers, especially the duck feathers that he has assigned to the basket here. ”
Sun Xiangfu deliberately lifted the feathers that Master Luo plucked from the duck and showed it to everyone, "The duck is a treasure, it can be said that duck meat is the most worthless thing, do you see this kind of duck feather?" After a certain amount of processing, it can be made into lightweight, warm eiderdown clothes, quilts, these things in the Chang'an market, the price of these things, than cotton is several times more expensive, and, due to the limited production, the shipment is very small, belongs to the seller's market.
We are here, it is the place where the whole Datang produces the most ducks, and after that, we will teach you how to process these duck feathers, set up a factory, specialize in making duck down, and even, let's make duck down clothing directly.
Let's take a look at the duck tongue taken down by Master Luo, this is a big supplement, specially taken out and sold to Wangjianglou to make top dish raw materials, a plate of duck tongue in Wangjianglou can be sold at least for more than the usual money, they will buy the duck tongue we take for three hundred pounds. ”
Hearing Sun Xiangfu's explanation, the big guy suddenly exclaimed, now, here in Jiuyuan County, the price of a whole duck is only more than 20 yuan, and this catty of duck tongue can be sold at a price higher than ten ducks.
Soon, a duck was cut into many types under Master Luo's knife work.
Duck head, duck tongue, duck neck, duck wings, duck legs, duck rack, duck paws, duck gizzards, duck intestines, and duck liver.
And Sun Xiangfu pointed to the press board and said to everyone, "If you kill ducks in the future, you will kill them like Master Luo." ”
