Chapter 5: Benzoin Fennel
Qin Han finally accepted the fact that there were no guys in the inn, after all, an inn was already worth a lot, and he was afraid that Qin Han would have to become the true uncle of Chu Mansion. When Qin Han calmed down and encouraged himself to cook it himself without a cook, and when he could ask Uncle Huang Jiu to help serve the dishes without Xiao Er, Qin Han made another major discovery, Qin Han had no silver.
"It's a dog, how to buy vegetables without capital, how to do publicity without money, how to open a stack without money." Qin Han jumped like thunder in the inn, kicked over a few sets of tables and chairs, it was not enjoyable, looking at Uncle Jiu's innocent smile without the slightest change, and thinking of his current embarrassment, Qin Han was a little ashamed, Qin Han stretched out his trembling right hand and swung it out to his side.
"Wow, what kind of broken pillar is this, why is it so hard." Qin Han began to vent his dissatisfaction on the pillar. (For details, please refer to Aquaman Yuan Hua for the question.) )
"Qin Han, what are you doing?"
A voice interrupted Qin Han's movements.
Chu Luoning saw Qin Han kicking at the pillar in disheveled clothes, and was slightly angry. Chu Luoning originally thought that Qin Han should be worried about the affairs of the inn at this time, but he didn't expect him to be like this.
……
Chu family
"Dad, why did you let Qin Han out, because I suffered from hysteria, he didn't know anything about the past, what should I do?" Chu Luoning pushed open Master Chu's door and said angrily.
"Hey, what are you doing in a panic, I have something to say, a girl's family. Qiu Ju, clean up the table. Chu Luoning came in suddenly, scared the tea that Master Chu had treasured for a long time, and felt a twitch in his heart.
"Dad, why did you let Qin Han go out directly." Chu Luoning rolled his eyes when he heard his father's words.
"Don't worry, how can my father not know how difficult life will be if he is allowed to leave the Chu family directly? Dad and he have already negotiated, the original conditions are nullified, and Dad gave him the Home Inn to him. Master Chu poured a cup of tea again and said with a smile.
"Home Inn?! However, the Homeinn is about to close down, he is a poor scholar, and he can't do business, how will he live then. Chu Luo thought about the business situation of the Home Inn and said anxiously.
"Hey, don't worry, girl, he only brought Uncle Nine, and there are no guys in the inn, so he will sell the inn when the time comes, and Uncle Nine and the two of them will have enough to spend, so you don't have to worry." When Master Chu said this, he patted Chu Luoning and comforted.
"But, this ......, hey, forget it, Daddy, I'll go out." Chu Luoning walked out without looking back. Looking at Chu Luo's figure in a hurry to come and go, Master Chu shook his head. When this matter is over, she reconciles with the stinky boy and explains to others that she should find a good family for her.
Chu Luoning returned to the room, thinking of Qin Han's condition, the more he blamed himself, Chu Luoning rummaged through his jewelry cabinet. "Hey, who made him get hysteria because of me."
……
"Eh, Miss Chu, you, why did you come here?" Qin Han hurriedly straightened his clothes and gave Chu Luo a salute, and said in surprise.
"Qin Han, it's not right for our Chu family, because of me, you suffer from hysteria, originally this inn was to compensate you, but this inn is not well managed, and you don't know how to do business, and if you continue to operate, it will definitely drag you down, but you really can't express your dissatisfaction in this way." You better sell this inn and exchange it for some silver taels, and besides, this is the silver tael I have saved over the years, you can stay, although it is not much, but it is enough for you to spend a while. Chu Luoning handed over the silver taels to Uncle Jiu and walked out of the inn.
……
Qin Han looked at the silver on the table, stunned for a while, and was a little moved by Chu Luoning's actions.
After Chu Luoning left, Qin Han and Uncle Jiu counted the silver taels on the table, totaling more than 20 taels. Although these more than 20 taels don't look like much, and they don't sound much, but now in this era similar to the Song Dynasty, the purchasing power of silver is very strong.
According to the "History of the Song Dynasty" mentioning that "before Xi and Feng, rice stone was only six or seven hundred" and "Song History and Official Chronicles" "each bucket (rice) is converted into 30 yuan", let's take 2,000 copper coins into silver and one tael, the price of rice in the Taiping period was 600-300 yuan per stone. 1 tael can basically buy 4-8 stone of rice, based on 66 kilograms of Song stone, 1 tael of silver is equivalent to nearly 924-1848 yuan; (One said that Song Shi is 96 catties, which is equivalent to 672-1344 yuan for 1 tael of silver). 2,000 copper plates are equal to one tael of silver, and one tael of silver is equal to 2,000 yuan, which is more than 40,000 yuan, and there is a premium. It was enough for Qin Han to hold up for a while.
"Uncle Nine, since we have this silver, let's think about how to run it, ah, right" Uncle Nine, since we have these silvers, let's think about how to run this inn, ah, by the way, Uncle Nine, this is your deed, you take it, right? ”
For Qin Han, who has received a modern education, there is still some resistance to the slave trade, these domestic slaves and maids have a low status, and after being bought by the master's family, life and death are decided by the master's family, and they can be exchanged by the master's family at will, bought and sold, and even beaten to death will not be questioned by the government.
"Uncle, what is this?" Uncle Huang Jiu looked at the deed handed over by Qin Han, and his cloudy old eyes flashed with a light that did not match it.
"Hey, Uncle Jiu, you don't have to look at me like that, in my opinion, the relationship between people comes from the relationship and affection between two people, not on this contract." Qin Han looked at Uncle Nine and said indifferently.
"Then, the old slave thanked his uncle." Uncle Huang Jiu replied that no one would give up an opportunity for a deed to be in his hands. "This uncle doesn't seem to be the same as everyone else." The smile on the corner of Uncle Huang Jiu's mouth was fleeting.
Since you run an inn, of course, you must have special wine and food and accommodation services. "Uncle Nine, I don't know if you know what kind of food is in the restaurant now?" Qin Han didn't know much about the cuisine of this world. After Qin Han asked this sentence, he regretted it slightly, Uncle Nine has been in the Chu family for so long, how can a person with slave nationality know the dishes of the restaurant.
"Uncle Hui, as far as the old slave knows, most of the current restaurants are barbecue and steaming dishes, mostly chicken, duck, fish and sheep and other dishes." Uncle Huang Jiu looked at Qin Han and replied.
"Mostly steaming, barbecue?" When Qin Han heard Uncle Nine's words, he didn't have time to care about how Uncle Nine knew the dishes in the restaurant, so he hurriedly asked Uncle Nine.
"What about stir-fry?"
"Uncle, there are also stir-fried dishes, but it is too difficult to make oil, and the cost is large, where are there so many stir-fried vegetables, so stir-fried dishes can only be eaten in the restaurants of the royal and Jingshi Jiangnan, and ordinary people and restaurants are still mainly steamed."
"Huh? Ah I know, pig, don't make trouble, Uncle Nine, where is the lard difficult? Just enough fat. Qin Han was skeptical of Uncle Jiu's words.
"Uncle, it often takes a few people to keep a few pigs in a farm, otherwise the pigs will run around the mountains and fields, and they won't be able to raise much fat in a year. So, there are no people who want to raise pigs? Regarding the reason why pork is not fat, Uncle Huang Jiu told Qin Han what he knew.
"Pork is not fat? Pigs still running around? When I was a child, I saw pigs in the village, and I never saw anyone's pigs running around. Qin Han was very puzzled by Uncle Jiu's answer, forget it, since pork doesn't have much oil and water to squeeze, let's think about other things.
"And what are the dishes we have in the store now?" Qin Han asked Uncle Jiu. "Back to my uncle, the old slave has counted, there are some ordinary vegetables, there are still a few live fish in the pool, and there is no other meat." Uncle Nine said to Qin Han the dishes he had counted this morning.
"Hey, that's not enough, Uncle Nine, where is the nearest vegetable market, let's take a trip."
……
"Steamed buns, steamed buns, freshly baked steamed buns, the guest officer can taste them, as long as one penny." "Eh, the fresh vegetables are all freshly picked from the ground, and they are very fresh."
As soon as you walk into the market, the cries of selling come and go, and the crowd is bustling. The chirping of chickens and ducks, the shouts of stall owners, and the bargaining of customers are endless.
Qin Han looked at the market, as if he had returned to the time when he and his sister bought vegetables together, this family cut the price, and that family took a green onion. Hey, I don't know how my sister is doing now?
"Come on, look, my, ann, fennel, my, spice, very good, you guys, shake and see." As soon as Qin Han thought of his sister, he was attracted by this very characteristic voice.
"Uncle, listening to the voice, it should be a merchant from the Western Regions." Seeing that Qin Han was attracted, Uncle Nine explained. "Because of the proximity of our Anping Prefecture to Beijing, there are also some merchants from the Western Regions who often sell products from the Western Regions."
"Let's go, go over and have a look." Qin Han took Uncle Nine to the past.
"Eh, this, friend, look, my, fennel, mine, in us, the Western Regions, the best, buy some. Medication, very, good. Seeing Qin Han coming over, the merchant of the Western Regions spoke with a special accent and introduced very enthusiastically.
"Fennel? So familiar, fennel, fennel, eh, fennel seeds aren't cumin? Qin Han suddenly remembered the contents of the encyclopedia, after a few days of sinking, Qin Han had already imprinted a few books in his mind, except for the fourth-grade math study questions to solve his worries, all of them were taken to the kitchen and burned.
"Uncle Nine, this fennel is a medicinal herb?" Qin Han looked at Uncle Nine and asked.
"Uncle, of course it is."
"Uncle Nine, do you know cumin?"
"Back to my uncle, haven't you heard of cumin? Is this also a medicinal herb? "Regarding the cumin that Qin Han said, Uncle Huang Jiu has never heard of it at such an age
。 "Haven't heard of it? You know so many restaurant dishes, haven't you heard of cumin? Qin Han was overjoyed when he heard the answer he wanted from Uncle Huang Jiu.
"Inside, this excellent seller, you fennel~, mine, all of them." Qin Han looked at this Hu Shang, kept an elegant smile, and said.
"Eh, this, dear, pot friend, you buy, order...... Lamp and so on, this one, basin oil, you say, Sen? Hu Shang seemed to have heard something, something unbelievable.
"I said, I'll take it all." Qin Han's pleasant voice came into Hu Shang's ears again.
