Chapter 38: Grilled Fish Fillet
"This is what the old fairy taught you in your dream last night?"
"This is what the old fairy taught you in your dream last night?"
Feng Yuanying had a pair of rabbit eyes, and his hands were gently trembling to hold the three drawings, and said in surprise.
"Yes, it's a rough crushing of sugar cane, and it only takes one or two cows to drive it. People squat here, send sugar cane one by one, and the cane juice flows here, filters here, and flows into the juice storage bucket.
The bagasse will be concentrated in this large wooden basin, poured with warm water and soaked for a period of time, then it can be put into this large iron bucket to squeeze the juice for the second time, and the final bagasse can be used to make a fire. ”
Feng Yuanying smiled happily, and immediately understood the ingenuity of the first sugarcane coarse juicer, and he briefly estimated that the efficiency of juicing could be improved by at least ten times, or even more.
It's just that the second juicing is a bit complicated, and he can't quite understand it, so he points to a part and asks, "San Lang, what kind of thing is this, and why is it so complicated to manufacture." ”
Ye Xipo explained carefully: "It is written next to this, this is called ratchet, this is called the rack, just turn this handle, the rack will gradually advance here, and this discus will squeeze this wooden stopper and squeeze out the sugarcane juice in the big iron bucket."
But you may not be able to do this at once, but you can still do this, well, just like the previous small juicer, the groove below is changed to an iron bucket, or the hundred-year-old camphor wood is hollowed out, here it is changed to a small wooden pillar, add a hardwood cake in front, press the long handle down once, and add a wooden board here. ”
Feng Yuanying's red eyes lit up again, and he thought that he was really worthy of being an old immortal, he could think of such an ingenious method, and he thought about it so thoughtfully.
Then Ye Xipo began to introduce the drying room of white sugar, which was simpler, Ye Xipo referred to the common beef drying room in later generations, and even the fuel money was saved.
The drying room is built next to the sugar boiling workshop, a well-ventilated two-story cabin, the chimney of the sugar boiling stove passes directly through the floor and wall of the drying room, if the temperature is not up to standard, you can also build a few more fire walls in the room, and hang the sticky, wet and wet white sugar here for a day, and use hot air to take away the moisture in it, which is both energy-saving and efficient.
Feng Yuanying listened to it with admiration, and at this time, the four brothers Ye Kun and Ye Ren also ran over, stood aside and listened, and they were full of praise one by one, as long as Ye Kun always felt that something was wrong.
This thing is too strange, Yi'er said that this was taught to him by the old fairy last night, but he came with Feng Yuanying in the morning with the drawings, could it be that the old fairy helped him draw this drawing?
I obviously saw that he was scribbling and painting all night last night, and these drawings were clearly drawn by Yi'er who stayed up late last night.
Could it be that Yi'er dreamed of the old fairy at night was fake, but when he fell into the water, he met the old fairy, so he opened his mind, and these things were all thought up by Yi'er herself...... Ye Kun looked at his eldest son, who had died all his life, and quietly shook his head, unwilling to think about it anymore.
In any case, he is always his own son, which is always a good thing, what he will do in the future, a lot of cooperation and support, as for how his intelligence came about, don't think so much.
Feng Yuanying stayed for one more night, but dealt with several problems, estimating that with the implementation of the new white sugar method, the output of white sugar could be at least ten times that of frosted sugar, or even twenty times, and the quality of white sugar was several times higher than that of frosted sugar, and it was also thrifty in manpower.
Thinking of this, Feng Yuanying couldn't sit still any longer, carried a bag of prepared white sugar and refined salt, didn't eat breakfast, took three generals, rode a fast horse and ran to Gaozhou City.
Ye Xipo's family and people from Taohua Village continue to make grilled fish fillets.
After the oven was ready, the efficiency of grilling the fish fillet improved by more than ten times, and the taste of the grilled fish became better after adding a little sugar to the sauce of the marinated fish fillet.
According to Ye Xipo's opinion, Cao Li is recruiting at least one person from 63 households in the village, each family, to fish, collect, kill, cut, pickle, and grill fish, and it took only one day to process nearly 200 catties of grilled fish fillets.
On the fourth day after the crossing, Ye Xipo followed Cao Lizheng's fifth son Cao Xuewen and his three brothers to drive a donkey cart to Zailai Town, seven miles away, to sell grilled fish fillets.
In addition to Ye Xipo, the four people who came to the town often came, but it was the first time to sell things, Cao Xuewen was a little flustered, but fortunately, before coming, Ye Dalang informed him that he had taken care of everything.
As for Ye Xipo, the four of them only treated him as a child, and they couldn't hope for anything, they thought that Ye Ren was not worried about them, so they sent Ye Xipo to watch them.
Ye Xipo actually came to do market research, but he didn't bother to explain, so he followed the four of them to the town market, unloaded the donkey and tied it to the side of the car, and then took out the essence on the car for the donkey himself to eat.
Before the four of them could put out the grilled fish fillets in the car, Ye Xipo saw a person with two followers coming over on his own initiative.
The three of them were all dressed in blue-black coarse cloth clothes, and their hair was not tied in a bun with a hairpin like the Han people, but their hair was cut short and wrapped in blue-black coarse cloth, and each carried a short knife at their waists.
Slang people are still martial and good at fighting, they are fierce and light to death, and they often draw their swords against each other when they disagree, no wonder Cao Xuewen will be empty.
The person who took the lead seemed to be a steward, looking at Cao Xuewen and the five people up and down, and when he saw Ye Xipo, he couldn't help but praise in his heart, what a handsome Han family baby.
"Selling something?"
Cao Xuewen hurriedly responded and reported to his home: "Yes, we are from Peach Blossom Village." ”
The man allowed and asked, "What are you selling?" ”
"Grilled fish fillet, we are from Peach Blossom Village." Cao Xuewen emphasized again.
"Ten cents, pay taxes after selling things, thirty taxes one." The man said impatiently, thinking that it was inexplicable, you are from Peach Blossom Village, Peach Blossom Village is amazing.
The ten cents he said was the market management fee, that is, the booth fee, and Cao Xuewen hurriedly counted out the ten cents and sent it up.
The man accepted the money, but he didn't leave, he looked at Cao Xuewen with strange eyes, but Cao Xuewen was stunned and didn't dare to move, Ye Xipo secretly sighed and kissed, a little desperate for Cao Xuewen, too eyeless.
Ye Xipo hurriedly opened the stall, took three pieces of grilled fish fillets, hesitated, took three more slices, and handed them over together.
"Three of you taste."
The man took the grilled fish fillet and nodded approvingly at Ye Xipo, Ye Xipo wrapped about half a catty of grilled fish fillet and handed it to him, and said, "Please bring these to Luo Xiongchang to try them, and say that the people from Peach Blossom Village are here to sell grilled fish fillets." ”
In Lingnan, the leader of the slang village is called Changshuai, and the leader of the Slang tribe is called Xiongchang, Ye Xipo's two uncles.
