Chapter 96: Burning the Knife
After Su Bai returned to the county office, he found ten flower pots and planted potatoes in them, Su Baizai carefully counted them, there were a total of ten buds on the potatoes, carefully divided the potatoes into ten points, put them in the flower pots, and waited until the potatoes sprouted, and after the weather warmed up, they were transplanted into the back garden.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Li Laoshi and Zheng Daya came back, and it was called a red face, as if they were drunk without drinking, needless to say, this is making money. Li Laoshi laughed and said: "Big Niu, no, no, No, Lord Wang, our dim sum is so easy to sell!" All the time in the morning has been sold, many people in front of our stall do not leave, one by one asked us if we will come tomorrow, the queue, can not see the head, no, we will hurry back, we can do more in the evening, or not tomorrow will not be enough to sell."
Su Bai was also very happy, after all, this also has its own credit in it, at that time, the pattern was small, and he just wanted to make the people around him rich first, who knew that in the blink of an eye, he had become a county order, and the pattern had changed from the people around him to the people of the county. Su Bai smiled: "That's naturally good, Wang Lang!" You send the two uncles back", Li Laoshi waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I have already said hello to Zhuzi's father before, and he will come to pick us up later." Su Bai thought about it, he couldn't rob other people's jobs, and his father still counted on this breadwinner, so he didn't persuade him.
......
In the past two or three days, Chang'an suddenly blew a burst of 'spirits wind', in Chang'an's various markets have opened a wine shop called 'burning knife', as soon as you hear this name, you know that the person who took the name is a big old man, whose wine can be called this vulgar name, you listen to the green ant wine, grape brewing, are you listening to this burning knife, is it a grade?
But if you drink it once, you will never forget the taste, and you will understand why it is called burning knives! The store does not advertise, that is, every day at the door of the store to put a big stool, put three jars of burning knives on it, a handyman with a fan has a fan, as long as it is a drinker, passing by at the door of the store, there is no one who does not go in to buy a jar, even if it is a poor people, can spend ten cents in it to buy a jar of poor wine.
It is said that it is worse, but the taste of drinking is also very fragrant, even if it is mixed with two jars of water, it is much more mellow than ordinary wine. Who can open a winery in Chang'an, which one has no backer? At that time, he reported to his master's family, wanting to overwhelm people. Who thought of handing over the message, it didn't take long to receive a reply, and the answer above was simple 'fend for itself'!
Now the owner of Chang'an Liquor Workshop was stunned, I don't know whose liquor shop it is, and the master behind him can do nothing, how do they know that the burning knife was opened by Cheng Biting Jin, that Cheng Biting Jin is a famous scoundrel in Chang'an, it's good if he doesn't bully you, you still want to bully him? Cheng Yanjin is now opening a tavern, if the goods are stronger than him, then he guarantees nothing. If you are not as good as him and want to play with him, it is in his arms, and you are guaranteed to be obedient to the repair!
They also tasted the burning knife, not to blame for the good sale, it is indeed very mellow, the wine syrup is even clearer and translucent, it makes people feel enjoyable when they look at it, it is the cheapest, ten pennies a jar of burning knives, it is much clearer than green ant wine and the like. Now the only drawback is that this wine is too strong, before the knife restaurant did an experiment, that is, take out the most expensive knife, with a little fire, the wine actually burned directly, my God, I have lived for so long, when have I ever heard of such a strong wine?
It didn't take a week for this kind of burning knife to become popular all over Chang'an! Everyone is very curious, where did Cheng Yanjin get this secret recipe, if he can get it himself~ Countless home spies flocked out, and it didn't take long to inquire clearly, this wine was produced in a large workshop in Cattle Village. Now the big workshop has been circled next to it, and the samurai with famous swords and bright armor are guarding the outside, and the inside is building a lot of construction, and it seems that it is expanding the scale.
The spies were stopped at a distance of five or six hundred meters from the workshop, and when they took a step forward, they were afraid that they would be slashed by a horizontal knife. Even the wine merchants were sent to the supply and marketing place by the Cheng family, and they loaded the wine in the supply and marketing place, and the whole wine shop was a secret mess.
In the past two days, the corners of Lao Cheng's mouth have to grin to the root of his ears, this wine is now not enough to sell no matter how much it is produced in a day, and many stores are all sold out, and the shopkeeper intends to lie in the supply and marketing place with the cover roll, saying that if he does not load the wine back, he will have to be beaten to death, and he has to be tightened no matter what today, and the result is that when I go to the place, more than 20 shopkeepers are coming with the cover roll.
Many big businessmen in Chang'an also came to visit with gifts, of course, Cheng Yanjin would not meet them, the housekeeper was in charge of these things, they came for only one purpose, that is, they hoped to sell some burning knives to them, and they wanted to ship them to other cities to buy! There were even two Hu merchants, with carts full of gold and silver, who wanted to sell the burning knives to the Western Regions and sell them for big food!
To put it simply, Cheng bites the blonde! Su Bai also made a fortune! There was no investment, just a secret recipe, and the gold and silver that Su Bai now received every day was definitely a terrifying number! At the very least, their family has enough to eat and drink for several lifetimes.
But Su Bai doesn't know these things yet, Su Bai is now writing scripts every day, eating and drinking, and more than 20 piglets are only accepted, mainly because Su Bai's requirements are stricter, as long as they are within a month, which makes the fat man can only go to remote areas to collect. These more than twenty were just for Zhang Quanbao to experiment, fortunately after castrating two, Zhang Quanbao found experience, Su Bai used spirits to disinfect them, twenty piglets survived nineteen, this survival rate is still okay, the fence of the pigsty has been temporarily erected.
Su Bai hired a few lonely old people to feed the pigs, and the salary of forty yuan a day made these old people feel grateful. When the scale of pig breeding expands in the future, these pigs will be handed over to these elderly people to take care of. After castration, the pig has a docile personality, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, there is no need to worry about the physical problems of the elderly, only need to clean the pigsty every day, feed the pig some food.
As for pig food, Su Bai didn't understand it very well, and spent money to hire a swineherd and let him handle these things, and professional things still had to be handed over to professional people to do.
In just a few months, unconsciously Juxian became full of vitality, and there were also small vendors on the street, although they only sold some children's toys, or some breakfast, but this can also show that Juxian County is recovering its vitality, and the daily income of strong laborers is also a lot, after everyone's life has become better, they naturally began to consume, Li Laoshi and their trough cake has become the favorite snack of the people of Hunxian County, a trough cake is a penny, not a cheap price, but it is indeed worth the price, In Datang, sugar is not cheap, and it can even be said to be a luxury.
Trough cake has become a kind of food suitable for all ages, if any child on the street takes a trough cake, it will be treated by other children with stars and moons, and they look forward to eating a small bite.
The living conditions in Juxian County have risen a lot because of Su Bai's road construction, house building and pigsty, and I believe that the future will get better and better!
In addition to writing scripts day by day, Su Bai is staring at the ten pots of potatoes, hoping that they will grow up quickly, although he knows that the ripening period of potatoes will be almost four months, Su Bai still can't wait, Han Laohu They don't understand why adults value these pots of things so much, and they think that adults like flowers and plants, and secretly remember in their hearts, planning to bring them to adults when they see some rare flowers and plants.
Su Bai has time to learn to ride a horse with Han Laohu these days, the four-hoofed snow beast is honest like a quail in front of Han Laohu, Su Bai has systematic passive skills, and he learns very quickly, but Su Bai found a problem, that is, stirrups, Datang's stirrups only have one side, which is used by knights when they get on the horse, and Su Bai remembers that the stirrups in later generations are both sides, and after the knight gets on the horse, he can rely on these stirrups to fix his body.
After he informed Han Laohu of his proposal, Han Laohu was directly dumbfounded, and after ordering the blacksmith to create two stirrups, sure enough, the stability of the knight was greatly enhanced, even if he had never ridden a horse again, he could slip around twice decently.
Su Bai only remembered at this time that this was a double stirrup that only existed after the Yuan Dynasty, and Genghis Khan relied on stirrups and mares to fight all the way to Europe! Horses can live by eating grass, mares produce milk, horses eat grass, people drink milk, and the supply is much easier, which Su Bai saw in a certain magazine in his last life. When there is a chance in the future, I will also buy a few mares and come back to see if I can train the iron horse of Genghis Khan in the future.
The days are spent in an orderly manner, in the blink of an eye it has been March, the earth is springing, the tenacious grass has revealed a little green tip, the cement road of ten miles has been completely completed yesterday, the pigsty has been completed ten days ago, and now these houses are missing, and today one day can almost be completed.
As far as the eye can see, the houses on both sides of the road are neatly aligned, the red tiles reflect a little light in the sun, and the walls are brushed with a layer of cement, which looks a little ugly, but the people of Datang don't think so, and even many people are discussing, when the time comes, they will build a house like this, which looks magnificent. Wang Fatzi went back to Chang'an yesterday to contact businessmen.
From today onwards, Juxian County will show its edge......
