Today is also not a big market day, in the afternoon, when Sun Xiangfu and the two went to the market, they didn't see a few people, on a hot day, few people ran outside, the two of them came to the grain store first, there are three main grains for sale: millet, rice and wheat.

Two months before the autumn harvest, the price of grain is the most expensive, belonging to the darkness before dawn, even millet costs 700 wen a stone, a stone is about 120 catties, the two have no choice but to buy a stone, and seeing the price of wheat 900 wen a stone, and it is also wheat with shells, Sun Xiangfu decisively gave up the idea of buying another stone of wheat, just bought a bucket, ready to shell and grind noodles, and make something to relieve the hunger of the little sister.

After buying grain, the two went to the salt shop to buy a bucket of salt, even if it is the most common edible salt, a bucket also costs two hundred Wen, almost three times that of millet seeds, and so after the autumn harvest, the price of millet will almost double, the price of salt at that time, but it is more than six times that of millet seeds, according to the literature, the price of salt in the late Tang Dynasty is almost ten times the price of grain, it seems that it is not impossible.

Sun Xiangfu didn't know about these historical events, he just purchased according to his own needs, and after buying food and salt, his next target was the grocery store, where to find edible seasonings such as onions, ginger and garlic, as well as soy sauce and vinegar stuffed with soybeans. Although the taste is not good, Sun Xiangfu, who is fed up with boiled fish, also bought a lot.

After spending two or three hundred wen on these miscellaneous things, Sun Xiangfu came to the blacksmith shop again. He wants to buy a large iron pot here and customize a fine iron pot for stir-frying, yes, it is not the fine iron of this era, and it is not up to the difficult task of stir-frying.

Due to the backward smelting technology, the iron produced in this era is relatively slag, and if it is poked by a spatula every day, it will be perforated in a few days.

Iron tools are very expensive, a large iron pot plus Sun Xiangfu's fine iron pot and saws, axes, planing iron, chisels and the like, enough to cost Sun Xiangfu 1,500 Wen.

In the end, Sun Xiangfu, who still had more than 1,000 yuan left, came to the seed store, almost the same thing, until he spent the rest of the money and only a few dozen yuan, Sun Xiangfu stopped.

No money and a light body, on the way back, he walked very briskly, but Sun Dali, who was suffering from the cart, who told Sun Xiangfu to get those seeds, the whole person seemed to enter a state of shock!

Small cabbage, leeks are the mainstream, carrots, which were introduced to Middle-earth in the Han Dynasty, and Hu Cai, which is what later generations said, is also here.

As for the merchant said that the Ulva vulgaris, fern, Wei, camellia, Xanthium, purslane, rat ear, golden plate grass, Hui grass, bitter herbs, Meng Niang vegetables, four-leaf vegetables, sage, etc., many are the predecessors of later generations of vegetables, but more are eliminated by the hybrid seed vegetables of later generations, reduced to pig vegetables, Sun Xiangfu is very interested in planting them out to study, this is his specialty, of course, the most bought is soybean seeds, now in June, he can also plant a handful of summer beans, September and October before the cold winter is almost able to harvest.

If there are beans, there will be soybean oil, you can make stir-fried vegetables to eat, you can also make your own tofu, dried beans, stuffed soy sauce, in winter, it is also good to send some bean sprouts indoors to eat, thinking about it, Sun Xiangfu found that he could do what he likes to do in this era, and he was in a good mood, watching those plants sprout and grow, blossom and bear fruit, Sun Xiangfu will have a sense of achievement.

When I returned home, it was time for the black light to blind the fire, but today there was a fire in the village, and the source of the fire was Sun Dali's house, and at this moment, more than 20 mouths waiting for food were here.

"Nie Sanniang, the two sisters-in-law of the Wang family, come to help kill the fish, Aunt Cuihua washes some millet to cook a big pot of porridge, we bought a big pot and burned it outside the house. The others helped me unload the contents of the car and carry them to the house. ”

Seeing a car full of items, these people waiting in the house to eat were all happy, Sun Dali and Sun Xiangfu got so many things back, and now they are also tired, just squatting on the stone in front of the house panting, watching everyone busy.

"Xiangfu, Dali, you have made a fortune, you have bought so many things, as well as ironware, hey, a full set of carpentry tools, it is still good, now our two brothers can do a big job." Wang Fu lovingly stroked the blade of an axe that had been unloaded from the wheelbarrow.

"It's nothing, it's just to sell the fish, our Guanzhong fishery is not prosperous, but the aquatic products can be sold at a good price, tomorrow you will take people into the mountains to cut wood!" It's just that on this hot day, you have to work harder. When the time comes, I will design what I want to build, and I will step up the construction, maybe I can open up the wasteland in the village and grow some more crops. ”

Sun Xiangfu said, the two nodded yes, through yesterday's conversation, everyone is now naturally based on Sun Xiangfu's opinion, because he drew a good cake for everyone.

"It just so happens that Zhang Quan and I will also go to the wood mountain with you to burn some charcoal, and when the time comes, if you make ironware, charcoal burning is better than burning wood." Ma Lin was afraid that he would have no work to do, eat white food, and make everyone unhappy, so he was busy.

In fact, burning coal is more useful than burning firewood and charcoal when striking iron, but the unprocessed coal is large and toxic, so the blacksmith shops in this era basically use charcoal to melt iron, and each blacksmith has his own charcoal burning skills.

"You've all got a job, so what am I going to do?" Zhao Da said a little depressed. He used to be a butcher, specializing in feeding and slaughtering animals in the restaurant, but now, there is not a single private animal in the whole village, and his skills seem to be useless.

"Don't worry, there is a cave in Chaishan, you also go with everyone, get some clay, burn some green bricks and tiles, and I will build a house when the time comes."

Sun Xiangfu patted Zhao Da on the shoulder and said. In his plan, breeding is a must do, it is an important part of supporting the development of the agricultural system and enlarging the production capacity of farmers.

"Brother Xiangfu, we have made dozens of fish cages today, and tomorrow our fish output will double again." Sun Erli said with an expression of invitation. Of course, being able to make dozens of fish cages a day is not his credit alone, Wang Fu and Wang Gui are the main force, and Ma Lin, Zhang Quan and Zhao Da also help a lot.

"Well, we have hundreds of fish cages now, and we have caught enough fish, not only to put them in the upper reaches of the small river, but also to put them in the downstream, and also to find other rivers to put them, tomorrow you and Shi Dalang will be in a group, take Deshou, and the three of them will go downstream to put the fish cages together, and the wheelbarrow will be handed over to you to use, and I and Dali only need to use the flat pole to pick up the fish to sell."

Unicycle has advantages and disadvantages, in the case of not pulling heavy goods, it has not actually picked up the burden of light, from the village to the summer resort of Qinfu, the approach road is actually only a dozen miles, and the loach and yellow eel required by Qinfu for a day are about twenty or thirty catties, this weight, pick up and go fast, after all, the shortcut is all field stalks, mountain roads.

Of course, there is another problem that Zhang Hao needs to deal with immediately, that is, nearly 100 fish cages have harvested more than twice as many fish as before, and the Qin Mansion naturally does not need such a large amount, and those scale fish that die when they come out of the water may be as many as dozens of catties a day, and these people can't eat it at all, so Zhang Hao has to consider digging fish ponds for breeding and reserves.

The reason why he taught the cook so many ways to cook yellow eel loaches in the Qin Mansion today is also useful, I don't believe that those nobles in Chang'an don't come to the Qin Mansion to visit the sick, and when they eat these novel dishes, are they afraid that these things will not be marketable? After all, Guanzhong is not as good as Jiangnan, the fishing industry is not prosperous, and there are few things!

The fish soup with green onions, ginger, garlic and sauce is simply delicious in the world, the natural environment of this era is very good, absolutely pollution-free, the fish are pure and wild, their own oil and water are sufficient, and the fresh and attractive fragrance is boiled, even Sun Xiangfu has a great appetite, not to mention other people, millet porridge and fish meat, everyone eats a big feast before it ends.

There was nothing to say all night, in the early morning, Sun Xiangfu was shouted by Sun Dali, the two received the fish, went home directly, picked up the big yellow eel and picked up more than ten catties, and selected more than ten catties of loaches, and made a flat shoulder with penny, and walked the mountain road to the direction of Cuiyun Mountain, without a cart, the two took turns, but it was lighter, and there was an hour before noon, and they arrived at the villa.

Knock on the door to ask for a meeting, and after a while, Uncle De led them to the fire room area with a smile.

"Whoa."

A large bag of copper coins was piled up on a small table next to the fire room by one of the servants brought by Uncle De.

"Yesterday, Aunt Meng made food according to the cooking method you taught, the lord and Mrs. praised after eating, and rewarded the kitchen cadres, etc., knowing that this method was taught by you, I specially ordered me to give you five times as a reward, and the money for today's fish goods is also in it, and you will carry it back together after eating."

Sun Xiangfu and Sun Dali were overjoyed when they heard this, this is 7,000 copper coins, and it has only been two days, and they can eat in the kitchen of the Qin Mansion.

"In this way, please ask Uncle De to thank Grandpa Guo for the reward for the boy." Sun Xiangfu said to Uncle De.

"That's natural, the lord's health has been getting better in the past two days, and Doctor Sun said that he has the power of eating, it seems that next month, His Majesty's enthronement ceremony, the lord will be able to ride back to Chang'an."

Uncle De said with a happy face. They are all the house slaves of the Qin Mansion, it is difficult to change from generation to generation, the glory of the Qin Mansion is their glory, and now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, he has to reward him lavishly, Qin Qiong is one of the few people who have made the first contribution, and the grace will definitely be the same for a while.

A martial artist, naturally unwilling to become a sick seedling, Qin Qiongzhenguan in history died in the twelfth year, however, with Sun Xiangfu's little butterfly inciting wings, everything may change, of course, these historical events are a little far from Sun Xiangfu, who is now just a farmer, but through conversations with Uncle De and some people in the Qin Mansion, Sun Xiangfu knows more about what is going on with the powerful and what is going on in the Tang Dynasty, and his understanding of this world is gradually deepening, and his horizons are broadened, so that he has a follow-up survival plan, I also have a little more confidence.

I ate five steamed cakes and three plates of seasonal vegetables in one meal, and drank the rice wine stored in the Qin Mansion, although it was only a bowl, but it also made Sun Dali call this the life of a person, the hour was still early, and the two naturally did not need to return directly, Sun Dali carried the empty bucket, and Sun Xiangfu carried the copper coin on his back and went to the direction of the market.
