Fengji, is a folk saying, some places also call it a market, is a traditional commercial activity in rural China, with the two verbs of Feng and rush combined with the market, this is a dynamic market, for the vast countryside to prepare. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A single village, even if it is a very large and populous village like Miaojiazhuang, it is impossible to have everything, and if it is closer to the county seat, you can go to the county seat to buy it, but if it is farther away, it will not work, and it will often be in the range of 10-15 miles, spontaneously looking for a larger village, as the central village, and then form a market every few days.

In the bazaar, there will be surrounding villagers to exchange goods spontaneously, and there will also be some merchants who specialize in the bazaar, providing goods to come, in short, the bazaar is to meet the needs of ordinary farmers for goods.

Miaojiazhuang is very large, it has naturally become the central village and town, around 15 miles, or even farther away, there are almost dozens of large and small villages, maybe close to Baozhou City, will choose to go to Baozhou, in another section of Baozhou, must go to Miaojiazhuang.

Truth be told, Miaojiazhuang has a large population and strong purchasing power, and it is a good market in itself, which is part of the reason why Miaojiazhuang has become a bazaar.

Counting the time delayed before, almost ten days, there is no market, the people around are in a hurry, some businesses in Baozhou are also a little anxious, every market is a place for ordinary people to exchange things, but also a place for merchants to sell.

Even in later generations, the modern and developed later generations, the bazaar is also a common way of trading in the countryside, although the purchasing power of the countryside is insufficient, but the amount of energy is huge, the requirements for quality are not high, there is no business in the market on weekdays, there is only in the market, so that even some mobile vendors who exist around the bazaar have been born.

Smart people, which dynasty and which generation have such obvious profits, as long as you are immersed in it, you will know that the Northern Song Dynasty is no exception, and even during this time, there are a little exceptions, some businessmen with amazing vision, in Miaojiazhuang itself, saw the opportunity.

Under the premise that steamed buns are popular in Baozhou, it is impossible for these merchants to know how much profit Miaojiazhuang has reaped, but one thing is certain, Miaojiazhuang people should be very rich.

No, this is the most simple business vision, such a popular business, it will definitely make money, it doesn't matter how much money is made, they chose here, at least this time, there will definitely be a certain amount of income, even when Miao Yuan went to Baozhou, many people asked, when to open the set, and even if it is not opened, they can pay a part of the fee to sell a part of the products in Miaojiazhuang.

It was the pressures from these two sides that finally led to the opening of this fixed bazaar once again.

Before Zhao Xin arrived, the bazaar was one of the fixed income of Miaojiazhuang, a day of the bazaar, there would be more than 200 different stalls, plus some small traders from ten miles and eight items, the big stalls were 20 Wen a day, and the small stalls were each 5 Wen The big stalls had a fixed location, the small pergola, the location was good, the small stalls were to set aside a place, and they were the main components of the market.

As for the peasant households, who hold frames or push carts, and sell them temporarily, basically, they don't care about it, unless it affects the order of the whole market.

Calculated, close to 3 guan income, about 4 times a month, a year is more than 100 guan, this is a relatively fixed income, plus timber house, blacksmith workshop, and others, can also get a relatively good income, this is also Miaojiazhuang's fixed income.

It's just that after Zhao Xin arrived, all this changed, a steamed bun house, a day's profit, and checked the profits of the bazaar for 10 years, which surprised Miao Yuan At the same time, he also looked a little out of the market, and he didn't open the bazaar before everything was normal.

Old relations, businessmen plus other village chiefs and the like, unless another market can replace the status of Miaojiazhuang, otherwise, Miaojiazhuang's bazaar really needs to be opened.

The day's bazaar, in the afternoon of the previous day, has begun to prepare, merchants from Baozhou City, have begun to arrange in advance, fixed more than 100 shops, at least 50 began to arrange, respectively, cloth, daily necessities, needles and threads, ready-to-wear, and a variety of other daily necessities.

As the head snake, Miaojiazhuang's self-operated products occupy the best position, and the carpentry workshop and blacksmith workshop have also begun to display all kinds of daily necessities commonly used by ordinary farmers.

That night, the steamed buns that came out of the oven, with the first batch of buyers, are these businessmen, they need to leave a certain number of guys in Miaojiazhuang, and they also like to eat, to be honest, the hot sales of steamed buns and steamed buns are not without reason, not to mention ordinary people, businessmen can also eat it.

The lo-mei did not come out, otherwise, the steamed bun with the lo-mei, it was a perfect match, Zhao Xin can also cook, but it is not at the chef level, the lo-mei thing needs many attempts, and, in the Northern Song Dynasty, some seasonings are not available, which provides greater difficulty to make.

The relationship of slaughtering, a large number of offal, pig's head, pig's feet and the like are left, ruthless, they have to be wasted, pig's feet and pig's head and the like, cleaned up, can also be made into meals, used for the longbow team to eat, but the offal, if not handled well, the taste is very bad, this is not ordinary pork, the reason why no one eats the offal, is not without reason, because it is the taste.

At present, the ones that can be used, that is, the pork liver and pig heart, do not need to be treated, and they can be made into food to eat after a little cleaning, and part of the intestines can be scraped, and the final casing can be used to make sausages

Sausages are said to have been invented in the Song Dynasty and have a relationship with Su Dongpo, but in world history, as early as five or six thousand years ago, the ancients in Mesopotamia were already able to make sausages.

The production of sausages is very simple, that is, the small intestine is scraped clean, the casing is left, and then the meat is minced, and after research and development and some seasonings, etc., it is filled into the factory, and it is done.

Of course, there are certain methods for the production of sewage, such as the large intestine, as long as you use salt to clean and remove the smell, you can make a delicious large intestine, the core of which lies in salt.

Salt was a controlled material in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and the price was relatively expensive, and using salt to clean and marinate the large intestine was as ridiculous as washing clothes with milk in later generations, and even if it could, it was also expensive and scary.

In the card system, the limited price of salt may only be one-tenth of the market price, or even lower, but this thing, can not be taken out and used, a small amount, the use of the sea in the family can be, if Miaojiazhuang on the lo-mei, it is a huge amount, the amount of salt consumed is also quite amazing, all with salt to clean, it is easy to be said by many people, when the time comes, naturally there is a salt division to ask.

One of the fundamental reasons why the Northern Song Dynasty was able to collect such a huge salt tax was that the Northern Song Dynasty implemented the strictest salt tax system, and the crackdown on illegal salt reached a pervasive level.

Before the crossing, Zhao Xin liked to eat the large intestine very much, Miaojiazhuang was able to use 20 pigs a day, and the amount of water per day was very large, but the large intestine and some parts that were difficult to clean were huge, and they could only be cooked and chopped for the time being to feed the pigs or

Carefully looking for alternative methods, Zhao Xin has begun to try, and also used the method of processing pork, assisted by a part of flour and a small amount of salt, the source of these salts, of course, is relatively formal, the price of salt is a little expensive, even if you put as little salt as possible, put more flour, and clean an average of 10 catties of large intestine, you need to have half a catty of salt, this amount is a bit unbearable.

At that time, almost all of the large intestine is washed out with salt, and there is no way but to lower it, about one-fifth of the original level, and use more flour to see if it can suppress the taste.

Salt and flour, boiling water, cooking wine, vinegar and rice water, these four are combined, and the taste of pig water is relatively good, not to the extent that a large amount of salt and flour is used to clean, but the taste can be reduced to an acceptable level.

In later generations, some people like to eat the large intestine, more like to eat the large intestine of the dirty gas, at present, Miaojiazhuang, the taste is heavy, some families began to try to cook and eat, but the effect is not very good, even if the soy sauce is cooked, the taste is still more rushed.

The braised is a stir-fried process, and for the time being, it has not been released by Zhao Xin. You can only choose to use marinade, find soy sauce and the like, plus some condiments, and slowly mobilize the flavor of lo-mei.

Lo mei, as a simple dish in later generations, is also the most widely sold dish, in general streets and settlements, there are one or two lo mei shops, that's it, easy to make, but also delicious, many people eat it.

The core of lo-mei, that is, salt and soy sauce, and others, are some flavors that increase the fragrance, and lo-mei, which can make the original discarded, inedible things, into supreme food, braised pork knuckles, pork skin, offal, large intestine, these originally either fed to pigs, or can only be eaten hard-headed meat, but also become dishes that can be served.

Of course, now there are certain results, sausages have also been made, part of the pig heart, pork liver and other flavors are not so strong, a little modulation, can also be eaten, but the lo-mei is not very good, the taste is not very good, if you put it in the village to eat it yourself, there is a problem, it will not work to sell.

In addition to the original carpentry and ironware, Miaojiazhuang only added some products of steamed buns and pork, mainly sausages, elbows, and boiled salted pigs, which were prepared early, together with other merchants who arrived in advance, to prepare for the first market in 10 days.
