Lu Zhe told Mu Zhong about the distribution and agency system of later generations, and made a simple market positioning and marketing plan for their new salt sales.

These theories shocked Mu Zhong. asked Lu Zhe again and again if the Hundred Flowers Sect was from the merchant or the Ji Ran family, but Lu Zhe lightly told him that these were just miscellaneous studies, he was really from a flower planter, he planted flowers if he loved, and when he would fight for planting flowers all his life, Mu Zhong was obviously a little hit.

The consequence of being hit was that Mu Zhong was a little listless, and he was even absent-minded when eating, and only then did he react when the tofu in his mouth full of juice exploded and his hands were scalded.

Because the Ying family has three brothers, it is the one with the most men in the village, and the shadow crane is also responsible for the foreign trade of the entire mountain village, so the family background of the Ying family is the best in the whole village. Today is to entertain Mu Zhong again, so their banquet is still good.

Today's main dish is a goose, stewed in a big pot with tofu and pine mushrooms, the big carp in the river is cut into thin fish belly like cicada wings, plus cold bean sprouts and a few wild vegetables, Aunt Ying also made shallots mixed with tofu without a teacher, and the most surprising thing for Lu Zhe is that Ying He also got some fruit wine, these things, in this small mountain village, can be regarded as a luxury.

Because Lu Zhe stayed at Ying's house for an afternoon, he was naturally left by the Ying's family during dinner, and his sister Yunniang was also picked up by the Ying's aunt.

So, Lu Zhe, who was sitting on the big kang of the shadow family, watched Mu Zhong, who was absentmindedly opposite, pick up a piece of juicy tofu, stuff it into his mouth, and bit it absentmindedly.

Rao is Mu Zhongnai is a disciple of the mountain gate, a famous family, and many literati poetry and wine singing and harmony on weekdays, paying attention to Xiao Xiao Susu, hearty and clear, very particular about manners, eating this piece of tofu containing soup is also a little strange. Lu Zhedu watched the fat on his face twitch, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor.

In Lu Zhe's smiling gaze, Mu Zhong picked up the bamboo cup and covered half of his face with his long sleeves, wanting to use the fruit wine to flush down the hot thing in his mouth.

It's a pity that Lu Zhe forgot to tell him that under his own suggestion, this fruit wine was also scalded.

However, a child of a famous family is a child of a famous family after all, looking at the other party's cup of fruit wine, Lu Zhe felt that the other party's tongue had been burned, but the expression on his face was still good, and he asked for wine with a spring breeze on his face. This made a certain schadenfreude, narrow-minded teenager somewhat disappointed.

"This is tofu?" After being scalded once, Mu Zhong finally turned his attention to the dinner party, this time he was careful, picked up a piece of tofu, and let it cool before putting it in his mouth. There was a look of surprise on his face.

"Brother Mu is really knowledgeable." Lu Zhe expressed his admiration for Mu Zhong, the fat man in front of him with a forgiving head really did not deserve his size, and he was still very proficient in what he ate.

"This is also something made by the suzerain? It's different from the tofu that Zhong had eaten before. Mu Zhong's first feeling was that this tofu was also related to this immortal family's children.

"Brother Mu, have you eaten tofu before?" Lu Zhe is also a little curious, in this era, except for the people in Wuzhuangguan, there should not be many people who have eaten tofu.

"I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Ti Xuan on the coast of the East China Sea to hold a banquet and eat this thing once. It is said that Mr. Ti Xuan made it according to the recipe recorded above by Huainanzi, known as the food of the immortals, snow white as jade, extremely tender, its entrance taste, slightly bitter, not like the tofu made by the sect master, not only the bitter taste is completely absent, but also there is no faint beany smell. Ki Zhong was obviously extremely satisfied with the taste of the tofu, and ate several pieces in a row, exclaiming that it was delicious.

Hehe. Lu Zhe smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame. Compare the tofu I made with the heavy metal food lover of Huainan Wang? Do you look down on me, a child of the fairy family, or do you look down on the great skill of chemistry?

Liu An, the king of Huainan, a prince king during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a fanatical alchemy lover, wanted to become an immortal and wanted to go crazy, it was he who was the first to make tofu, but the brine he ordered tofu was the heavy metal brine used in alchemy, although the tofu was as white as jade, but it contained heavy metal ions, which was not only harmful to people, but also extremely bitter in taste, and what made people feel that it was a dog that made them cook tofu was also very simple, that is, a piece of tofu was put into a bowl and poured with dew. That's it.

Raw tofu with dew, of course, will not be delicious. Later, the king of Huainan himself did not eat it, and it was not until the late Tang Dynasty that the tofu was really made, but the name of the person who made the tofu has been forgotten, and everyone only remembers that the ancestor of the tofu is the king of Huainan.

Therefore, there is a good saying that the wisdom of the working people of our country is the greatest.

However, what is interesting is that this practice was learned by the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty, and it has been improved and passed down to this day. In kaiseki cuisine, which is known as a national treasure of Japan, there is a miso tofu soup, which is very similar to this one: raw tofu is placed in a small bowl and topped with wasabi or shiso leaves, which is said to be no different from what was done during the Tang Dynasty.

Mu Zhong was not only surprised that there was tofu in this mountain village, but also felt new to the family banquet in the mountain village.

You know, in the Tang Dynasty, the banquets of the Chinese, a little more particular, were divided into meals. Only the people at the bottom stretched their chopsticks together in the same dish. This situation will not wait until the popularity of tables and chairs, especially the emergence of the round table and the Eight Immortals table, that the Chinese, who pay attention to reunion and liveliness, will gradually sit down at the same table to eat.

Therefore, on weekdays, Mu Zhong, who is accustomed to sitting behind a low table, is sitting on the front of a few dishes, and today he is sitting around the kang table with everyone coldly, with a big pot of goose meat and mushroom tofu soup pot in the middle, surrounded by various dishes, and under the buttocks is a warm fire kang.

And everyone sat around, talking and laughing, the steaming soup pot is also very suitable for winter, I don't know why, Mu Zhong can't help but give birth to the feeling that this is called eating.

"The tofu made by King Huainan before, using the wrong method, the tofu made is not only useless but harmful to the human body, and Zhe has only done a little work...... No, change! to make this thing. Long-term consumption is very beneficial. ”

Mu Zhong smiled and put a piece of tofu in his mouth, it seemed that he loved tofu very much, "Just looking at this thing, who would have thought that this delicious thing is made of beans." It is said that tofu is the food of immortals, but I didn't expect that the king of Huainan was amazing, and he had eaten tofu all his life and was wrong from the beginning. ”

"The food of the immortals is spread by falsehood, isn't it that the poor can't afford to eat meat, eat some tofu, and have the right to eat meat." Lu Zhe, who was a little embarrassed by the boast, felt that it was necessary to give these people a science popularization of what it means to break feudal superstitions.

"Oh?" Several men at the table were taken aback. "This tofu still has such a miraculous effect? Can it be used as a substitute for meat? Ki Zhong sensitively noticed the word meat.

"Hey......" Lu Zhe sighed lightly, resisted the urge to start with the fish, stopped eating, and once again promoted the deliciousness of eating tofu to Mu Zhong, and the other party was amazed and overjoyed.

I didn't expect tofu to have so many benefits, he was here in the afternoon, and saw the woman of the Ying family making tofu, although he didn't see the specific method, but even the woman can, it should be extremely simple.

If he could master such secret techniques, his own firm would rely on this tofu and refined salt, coupled with the distribution and agency system he had just heard, Mu Zhong was confident that he could make Mu's firm one of the largest trading houses in the world within twenty years. Thinking of this, looking at the treacherous and ghostly immortal disciple opposite, his eyes also became hot.

"Presumably, this fire kang is also made by the sect master."

"That's right, I'm ashamed to say that these things called Huokang were made by Lu Xiaolangjun with the women and children in the village some time ago, when we went into the mountains to hunt." Shadow Crane touched the fire kang under him and answered on the side. I was embarrassed.

"This winter is more cold than yesterday, and no one of us will be frozen this winter, thanks to Lu Xiaolangjun's help us build the fire kang." The shadow snake on the side also said gratefully.

"A little thing, I don't need to mention it anymore." Lu Zhe, who was praised, was a little embarrassed.

"Where is the trivial matter, Lu Xiaolangjun took the women and children of the whole village, and installed a kang for the whole village within more than 20 days, and if you change one person, it is all men, and it is difficult to make miles in more than 20 days." Shadow Heron also joined the praise.

"Extremely, extremely, even if it is all men, it is difficult to make it in more than 20 days." Mu Zhong looked at the stove at the head of the kang and the kang under the buttocks, carefully calculated the number of kang needed by the people in the village, and was surprised to find that he had to rely on the only women and children in this mountain village, not to mention more than 20 days, even more than 40 days, and he couldn't do it.

"How did he do it?" Mu Zhong looked at the young man in front of him who looked embarrassed because he was praised, and subconsciously felt that the other party was pretending, and thought about it carefully.

"A few uncles, can make a kang kang, it all depends on a few aunts to make a big effort, just thank me can't do it, you know, women also hold up half the sky."

"Hahahaha." As soon as this sentence came out, everyone laughed, and even Ying Liu, who had just come in with millet rice, laughed and bent over on the side, and twisted Lu Zhe fiercely, "It's still a child, what are you talking about, one bite is a woman, don't you want to marry a bride?" ”

"Hahahaha." As soon as this sentence came out, everyone laughed even more, this immortal disciple is too demonic on weekdays, which makes many adults ashamed of themselves, and now many people in the village inexplicably feel a breath that can only be felt in the elder in front of him, and now he finally has a chance to laugh, and he even took the opportunity to make fun.

Mu Zhong also laughed, but his heart was indeed turbulent and shocked.

"I know the secret art of refining salt, the secret art of making tofu, making a fire kang, making tables and chairs, and I can also command a bunch of women and children to complete a project that can not be completed by strong labor in more than 20 days, at a young age, with a deep scheming, that deed makes a certain family feel afraid, and Ji Ran's learning is also higher than that of a certain family, and it seems that these are only part of what he has learned, this Lu Zhe, is it really a child of immortals?"
