Chapter 736: The Four Uniques of Hanzhong (I)

Yang Huairen smiled beautifully, and saw that it was just him and Lan Ruoxin in the carriage anyway, so he lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Thanks to you for bringing it up, otherwise I would have forgotten about it."

Lan Ruoxin's cheeks blushed, but she took the initiative to squeeze into Yang Huairen's arms, "Since you want to do a big business, it means that you have to use people, use a lot of people, there are few people in the northwest, and you may not be able to pick the one you want, so I remembered that the beggar gang is coming."

It's just that although the beggars are big and there are enough people, it is not up to me to let them work for you alone, it still depends on their own wishes.

Well...... Another thing I have to admit is that those flower children in the beggar gang have long been used to living a life of calling flower children with their mouths open, and now let these people who are used to it go to work, for fear that they may not necessarily listen to discipline. ”

Yang Huairen nodded, very happy in his heart, Lan Ruoxin had already helped him think of so much.

"There are many people in the beggar gang, but not many of them were born with the name Hanako. Even if they are lazy for a long time, some people are not willing to work to eat, but there are always people who are willing to return to the life of eating by labor.

The opportunity is given to them, whether they are willing to come or not, that is their own choice, I can only provide such an opportunity, and I will never force anything.

As for your concern that they will not be able to work hard without stopping, this is actually a bit too much, look at the more than 200 beggars you recruited to work on the construction site of the academy, aren't they doing a good job?

The key is not what they want, but what they want, and when what they get is satisfied, they are naturally willing to give their labor.

I will not be stingy with the wages of those who work for Yang Huairen, and I will ensure that they are well fed, so I am not afraid that they will not work hard if they really come. ”

Lan Ruoxin chuckled a few times, "You're amazing, but it's not okay if I'm blindly worried?" When I got to the next town with a beggar gang at the helm, I contacted them. ”

"Don't worry," Yang Huairen raised his hand and touched her head, "You can take your time, remember to them, things don't need to be explained, just say that it's for me Yang Huairen." ”

Lan Ruoxin hummed, indicating that she understood. Yang Huairen's construction of pastures in the northwest border area is still in the planning and preparation stage, because it involves the future war against Xia in the Great Song Dynasty, so this news must not be leaked.

The carriage walked all night before catching up with the Qincha brigade, and Yang Huairen changed the carriage that was about to bump apart and changed to a bigger one.

As for Yang Huairen's whereabouts, most of the team members are his own people, so naturally they will not ask about the whereabouts of the head of the family, and most of the court officials who accompanied the team did not know that Yang Huairen was not in the Qincha team at all that day, even if a few shrewd people found that Yang Huairen had been missing for a whole day, they would not say anything.

Since it is a mixed officialdom, they all understand the rules of officialdom, just like singing a big opera, in this play, you have to understand who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role, when you can't see or hear, you pretend to be deaf and dumb, otherwise you will offend people, but there will be no good fruit to eat.

Yang Huairen is actually not as vicious as they imagined, and he doesn't have the time to play officialdom with them, since they don't squeak, Yang Huairen doesn't need to say anything, he eats and drinks along the way, and he can be regarded as doing his best.

The brigade set out from Xin to the south, took the Foping Road to cross the Qinling Mountains, and walked for two whole days before coming to a basin.

The Hanzhong Plain has been called for thousands of years, in fact, in terms of geographical division, Hanzhong should be called a basin.

The Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River are the dividing line between the north and the south of China, and if you simply learn these things from geography textbooks, you will not be able to understand the reason why the Qinling Mountains are used to separate the north and the south.

Yang Huairen personally passed through the Qinling Mountains, so he had a more direct sensory experience. It is already early winter in the north of the mountain, and when it comes to the south of the mountain, it is a scene of high autumn and refreshing.

It is an exaggeration to say that even when you breathe the air, you can feel the difference between the north and the south, the cold wind in the north of the mountain is so dry that it seems to cut people's throats, and the south of the mountain is gradually moistened, although the wind is also cold, but it is not so cold.

And people's lifestyles and eating habits are constantly changing due to different climates.

Since I have come to Hanzhong, I have to mention the four major snacks in Hanzhong, which are also called the four uniques of Hanzhong by the locals, namely the hot noodles of Nanzheng, the slurry water surface of Ningqiang, the vegetable tofu of Luoyang and the slices of Liuba.

The name of dough may not be familiar to everyone, but if you change the name of a foreigner to "Hanzhong Liangpi", you may feel like thunder.

Everywhere in later generations, there were Hanzhong Liangpi stalls with stalls all over the street, maybe just a three-wheeled cart and a short-legged square table, but when people saw such food, they couldn't help but stop and spend a few dollars to taste a bowl.

Outsiders may often buy a bowl of cold skin in the hot summer and eat it as a refreshing snack to spend the heat in the summer heat, and they will naturally mistake the cold skin as a kind of food to relieve the heat.

In fact, the locals of Hanzhong prefer to eat it hot, and they also prefer to call it dough. Because the original dough can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty, it is indeed made of noodles.

With the passage of history, it began to be continuously innovated by the local simple people, or directly changed to rice flour as the main raw material for production, or mixed flour and rice flour to make dough with personal characteristics and different tastes with different recipes.

Eating it cold does have the effect of relieving the heat and appetizing, but eating it while it is hot is the favorite of the locals, and it is also the most authentic way to eat.

The dough that has just come out of the pot is removed from the steaming steamer, thrown on the board and rolled into a long roll, and a bowl of hot dough is cut out with a few quick knives.

Salt, rice vinegar, soy sauce, specially prepared pepper, ginger and garlic juice, and a drizzle of red oil made from chili peppers, it is the most simple yet tempting dish.

Of course, at that time, the dough making skills were not as exquisite as those of later generations, and the seasonings were not so rich and diverse, especially the red oil made from chili peppers, which was only available to Yang Huairen.

However, with the antique hot dough, Yang Huairen still tasted the wisdom of the Hanzhong people in food innovation.

Of course, the hot dough with chili red oil is the final flavor that blends into the hot dough.
