Chapter Seventy-Seven: Raising Chickens and Ducks
No one thought that it was the right thing to tell Shen Qingyun the truth, all the colleagues withdrew their surprised glances, smiled at each other, Jia Yi took the lead and said to Shen Qingyun: "Brother Shen, I just made this yellow braised chicken, since you think it's delicious, then eat more, and I'll go to Chang'an to sell it tomorrow, I still don't believe it, those buns in Chang'an can make a meal that is better than ours." ”
Jia Yi's words made all the doubts in Shen Qingyun's heart disappear without a trace, and no matter why the Lin family didn't eat such a delicious dish, he took care of himself and took a pair of chopsticks again, and then said with excitement on his face: "The taste of this yellow stewed chicken is really good, it should be able to persist in Chang'an for a while, but it won't take long for this method to be thoroughly understood by those chefs. ”
With edible oil, the dishes of stir-frying will be quickly developed, this is no way to do it, the oil is hot, you can throw anything into it, as long as it is not mushy, it can be called a new dish, even if Jia Yi has many memories of the dishes of later generations, but as long as he takes it out, it will soon be cracked, so he can only slowly launch it to ensure that the restaurant is prosperous.
"It's okay, as long as we can gain a foothold in Chang'an, when the winter comes, everyone in Chang'an will come to our restaurant to eat."
The greenhouse is a novelty that can grow out-of-season vegetables, Jia Yi didn't plan to let anyone who has nothing to do with it, even Shen Qingyun had to wait until after winter to tell him, now, it's still a secret.
"That's all it can be."
When the two of them said this, Shen Qingyun had already eaten a small jar of yellow stewed chicken, leaving only some vegetables, which he really couldn't eat, so he was left.
"Brother Jia, you won't let out the production method of this yellow stewed chicken again, although this secret can't be kept for long, it's good to be able to bring three months of income to our restaurant, don't you know, your flower chicken is now popular throughout Chang'an, and now if you want to buy a chicken, you have to spend twice the price than before."
In this regard, Jia Yi just smiled indifferently, calling the flower chicken is at most popular for a month or two, no matter how delicious this thing is, it is also meat, as long as it is meat, people have a time when they are tired of eating, it is okay to eat occasionally, hold a chicken all day long, no one can stand it.
"From now on, the focus of the development of dishes is on vegetables, and we will rely on this to make a fortune this winter."
"How?"
"Mountain people have their own tricks."
Although he was full of suspicions, Shen Qingyun didn't ask much, every time he was in trouble, he would come over to ask Jia Yi, and Jia Yi never let him down, he could know sooner or later, so why bother asking and annoying.
After a full hour, even if it is a chronic poison, it should be attacked now, Jia Yi felt that there should be no problem, so he ended today's conversation and let Shen Qingyun go, of course, before Shen Qingyun left, he also took away Jia Yi's method of making yellow stewed chicken.
Since it has been determined that there is no problem with the chickens that have eaten the dead locusts, Jia Yi will completely put his mind at ease and start raising chickens and ducks tomorrow, even if it is a dead locust, Jia Yi also feels that his value should be shown.
It just so happens that the conservatory is not very far from the river, and the chicken coop and duck coop are soon formed in the hands of the industrious family, anyway, there is a lot of rented land, and the left and right are to be fed, so feed more, five hundred chicks, five hundred ducklings, appeared in the fence circle around the conservatory, and the remaining women in the family also have a place to use, feeding the chickens and ducks every day, and they are very busy.
When the time is busy, time always flies quickly, when the greenhouse is all covered with mud, and autumn has quietly come to everyone's side with a little coolness, Jia Yi has not been able to go to Chang'an in the end, and he is busy every day.
The greenhouse was completely completed, just waiting for the vegetables to be planted in late autumn and sold in winter, and Jia Yi, who finally solved one thing, remembered the big-headed soldiers trained by the river.
Walking to the salt factory that existed in name only, those big-headed soldiers were still training hard, and even the forty-headed soldiers were seriously contacting various projects, and their faces had long since lost the arrogance they had when they first came, and it seemed that they had personally experienced the real benefits brought by these training programs.
"Assemble."
With Jia Yi's shout, all the soldiers stopped the training project at hand for the first time, quickly rushed to Jia Yi, stood in line with a slippery line, reported the number, and finally walked out with Hong Liang, saluted Jia and his party, and reported loudly.
"Very good, after this period of training, I believe you have improved your physical fitness to a certain height, and it is not interesting to always carry out these boring trainings, today I will teach you a new training program, disguise."
In ancient times, the mortality rate of spies was the highest, and when the two armies fought, the closest to the enemy was the spies, and the first to be discovered was still the spies, so camouflage on the battlefield was the only way to ensure a small life.
Camouflage training requires a very strong endurance, sometimes it takes a long time without eating, drinking, or moving, even if you are frozen to death, starved to death, and thirsty to death, you can't move a single bit, let alone make any sound.
"The so-called camouflage is the use of specific equipment according to local conditions to disguise oneself and achieve the purpose of effectively detecting the enemy's situation without being discovered. So, in camouflage training, I ask you to think of yourselves as a weed, a rock, or even a piece of dung, and you need to demand yourself with the idea of weeds, stones, and dung. ”
In ancient times, there were too few things that could achieve the camouflage effect, including the dye of the cloth, which was also poor, Jia Yi was not a soldier after all, and these things could only be used in a group to gather everyone's ideas to achieve the purpose of training.
One hundred and ten people, sitting with Jia Yi, as soon as Jia proposed a disguise, everyone began to collectively think of a way, and finally after verification, if it is feasible, then take it, if it doesn't work, then continue to think, and finally everyone finally came up with the equipment needed to disguise some common objects such as grass and stones.
The next training will become very boring and boring, two or three hours of lying or squatting for a long time, which requires great perseverance, Jia Yi didn't, he wasn't ready to watch here, he explained loudly, and left his post again.
Now there are a lot of slag for making glass in the warehouse, it's time to turn them into real glass, and only glass can make Jia Yi make a big deal this year, and it is good to buy more food before the end of the year.
Making glass is not much different from burning paper ceramics, both require a high temperature, and also need a kiln, Jia Yi only needs to buy or build a kiln, and he can start making it.
The kiln is easy to get, it is not a too high-tech thing, there are workers who specialize in making kilns in Duqu County, but when the kiln is made, looking at the scum that is not much different from the crucible before it is put in and after it is pulled out, he found that he is too optimistic about what he thinks, the fuel of the kiln is charcoal, the temperature cannot reach it at all, coal is the best, but where to get coal this year, Jia Yi knows a lot of coal in Shanxi, but those are all underground, how to dig with the current technology, There is an open-pit coal mine in Ordos, but he doesn't dare to go, and people are spitting valley muddy territory, and he still wants to die to dig coal.
All of a sudden, the matter of making glass came to an impasse, and Jia Yi really didn't have any good way, so he was bored, so he set foot on the road to Chang'an again.
This time, without any exceptions, Jia Yi successfully entered Chang'an City, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty has always been the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty from the beginning to the end, Jia Yi, who has entered the city once, was once again stimulated by the prosperous scene in front of him, and the depression in his heart disappeared suddenly.
It's just that he is stepping on Suzaku Street, but he is in trouble, knowing that Shen Qingyun has opened a restaurant in Chang'an, but he didn't say where the specific place is.
But strolling on the street, after asking for a long time, no one knew that there was a Sifang restaurant in Chang'an City, and the depressed Jia Yi decided not to pay attention to any restaurants anymore, and it was not easy to go around left and right, and shopping was even a holiday for himself.
Jia Yi, who had been to Dongshi, reappeared in Dongshi according to the route in his memory, and was stimulated by the strange smell again when he came to Dongshi, covered his mouth and nose, and began to shop, and the dazzling array of goods on the street made Jia Yi feel novel.
"What's this?" Jia Yi pointed to a pile of things that wanted radishes and asked the vendor.
"Mallet."
Two simple words, almost made Jia Yi faint, isn't the mallet a wooden stick, when did it become a kind of radish, picked up one, pinched a little whisker and put it in his mouth, a strange taste suddenly spread in his mouth, although he was surprised why this kind of thing was sold as a mallet, but his face did not show any strange look, nodded and said to the vendor: "Well, although the taste of this mallet is a little strange, it is very to my appetite, let's say, how much is this thing?" ”
"Fifty dollars a pound."
"How much?" Jia Yi was frightened, when did this thing become so cheap, it only sold for fifty yuan, and it was still sold by catties.
"Hehe, this lord, I see that you are rich, I just earn a little money to make a living, you can bargain with me, I deliberately got this thing back when I went to Liaodong, I spent a lot of money on the road alone, and fifty yuan is really no less."
"Alas, since you said so, then I will take care of your business, how many of these things you have, wrap them all up for me."
