Chapter 148: Cultivation and Yeast
The income is not much, much, at the end of the day, almost more than 1,000 turnover, but it is not big, it depends on what it is compared with, the whole Baozhou, fixed plus the floating population, plus the merchants who come and go, may take 1440,000 people to eat this, an average of 10 yuan per person per day, how much.

Gathering sand into a tower, gathering trees into a forest, this is what it means, the more it is for the general public, the final sum of the number will be very terrible, with the total population of 100 million people in the Great Song Dynasty, each person in one thing, spend 1 Wen, that is, 1 million yuan, how much a day is a text, or even ten Wen a day.
The simplest example is the salt tax, which is a poll tax that everyone can't avoid, the Northern Song Dynasty just collected 15 million guan on the salt tax, and even exceeded 20 million guan at its peak, what does this mean, on average, each person has to pay 200-300 yuan of salt tax every year.
Steamed buns and steamed buns, replacing the salt tax, become the new poll tax, this is not unknown, but steamed buns and steamed buns are selling well in Baozhou, becoming a reality, huge income, so that Miaojiazhuang today, become happy.
More than 400 people participated in the labor, which means that the remaining 800 people, their workload is increasing, 6 hours a day, it can be said that they have been working at high intensity, but none of them complained.
When Zhao Xin arranged the work, he took more into account the intensity, and did not let them be the same as the workers in the production line, high intensity, pressing to the limit, and would reserve a small part of the rest time, this part of the time is not long, maybe an hour, that is, the time of a cup of tea, for these villagers, enough, to be able to take a breath, to be able to continue to work.
Not high-intensity work, is on the one hand, on the other hand, is real money, since yesterday, the wages of all the villagers have doubled, before 10 steamed buns a penny, now 5 a penny, take 400 steamed buns as an example, today's average wage is as high as 80 Wen, a part of the more, skilled and very good group, can even reach 90 Wen or even 100 Wen.
This is not a small amount of money, which means that this catty of meat, 12 catties of rice, and the daily wage of a catty of meat per day must not be considered low, an ordinary farmer or peasant woman, just relying on steamed steamed buns, can feed a large family.
This is not a joke, 10 catties a day, one stone for 10 days, 3 stone rice for 30 days, replaced with flour, almost 6 stones, a person eats 2 catties of grain a day, 600 catties of flour, enough for 10 people to eat for a month, if you change to coarse grains, it will be more.
Zhuang family, full of the premise, the former Miao Jiazhuang, just a little richer, every year, there is not much surplus grain, occasionally suffer from famine, will also get the help of the Miao family in the capital, it can be said that it is a well-known village, the reputation of the Miao family has always been better.
Now, the fourth young master is here, and he has directly changed everything, not only spending a lot of money for the purchase of various farming cattle, which can directly improve the grain production and land area of Miaojiazhuang, but also bringing the steamed bread business, they didn't expect that a simple steamed bun could make so much money.
Now as the organizer of Miao Yuan, Miao Yuan can get 3 points from the net profit, today's net profit exceeds 1300 guan, that is to say, today is almost 389 guan, this is a huge number, 4 acres of paddy fields a day, such an income is terrible to amazing, if this sales are stable, his monthly income will exceed 1200 guan.
In the past, I was afraid that the entire Miaojiazhuang, a year's income, plus the market, several tool rooms and grain income loaded together, was only 1,200 yuan, and he could reach it in a month alone, thinking about it was like in a dream.
Although it was not sold out today, the rest, in the total number of steamed buns, is relatively small, only less than 8,000, and the remaining steamed buns are not wasted, with the cost price, that is, the price of raw materials and a small amount of labor, sold to the villagers of Miaojiazhuang, the steamed buns are almost 1.8 Wen, and the buns are almost 3 Wen, sold to the villagers.
The villagers just got their wages, they encountered such a good thing, their wages are also counted in it, about 8,000 steamed buns and buns, almost none left, directly for the villagers to buy all back, 2,800 people in the village, 8,000, each talent 3 only, they don't have to eat, this also saves time for cooking.
Outside Zhao Xin's study, Miao Yuan looked at the paper in his hand, this is the profit he calculated over and over again today, he is literate, and he will also calculate simply, the sales volume and cost of steamed bread, this is very easy to calculate, the raw materials of flour and meat are according to the market price, and the salary is another large piece, his extraction and Zhao Xin's foaming agent are also among them, and the rest is the net profit.
He calculated over and over again, but the rest of the money still surprised him, the total profit of thousands of times, seventy percent was included in the Longbow team, which is also amazing, does the Longbow team need so much money.
After listening to Miao Yuan's report, even when he was reporting, he noticed that Miao Yuan still had an expression of disbelief, but Zhao Xin didn't care too much, the sales that broke out in Baozhou made him slightly surprised, and he didn't care about anything else, steamed buns were cheaper and more hungry, it stands to reason that the sales should be larger, but in fact, the buns should be slightly overpowered by it.
Steamed buns are more delicious, the two are averaged, the buns are more acceptable, there is less meat, you may go to other places, it takes thirty or forty wen to be able to eat a meal of meat, but the buns, 10 wen will be solved, 30 wen can eat a little full, 3 buns, representing the skin of a steamed bun and the filling of six or seven taels, this amount is quite sufficient.
If it is compared according to the general equivalence of commodities such as grain and meat, the price of meat in the Great Song Dynasty is quite high, the price of rice is 7 wen a catty, the price of ordinary pork is more than 12 times that of rice, and it is almost 4 times in later generations, if you count the flour, it will be higher, almost more than 20 times, and the later generations will be at most five or six times, and the gap is obvious.
The reason is very simple, the breeding technology is not up to par, the production of feed is not on the right track, pork is still organic pork and chai pork in the sense of later generations, no feed is fed, all are Zhuang households, one person and one head slowly raised.
The lack of supply has caused the price of meat to deviate from normal, and there is still a lot of room for reduction.
In fact, in this era, meat is only in the Great Song Dynasty, in the grassland, a large amount of meat, because of the wintering, buried, consumed, these are very normal, because of the relationship between the trade routes, this part of the meat, did not pass through circulation, into a more suitable place, but dumped in nature, wasted in vain.
The aquaculture industry may also be one of the directions of future development, but compared with the immediate project of steamed bread, the aquaculture industry is too cyclical.
Like steamed buns and steamed buns, the aquaculture industry is also amazingly profitable, especially under the premise of the Northern Song Dynasty, large-scale centralized farming, as well as the emergence of various feeds, so that the breeding industry in later generations is quite common, and the price of meat is also lower because of centralized farming.
In this era, the price of pork was 12 times that of rice, 20 times that of flour, and more than 40 times that of various grains, which was a terrible figure.
Later generations for pig breeding really systematic, intensive scientific management, in accordance with the normal biological chain and the principle of energy transmission, 5 catties of grain can grow a catty of meat, that is to say, a catty of meat is equal to five catties of grain, this is a relatively balanced, aside from a variety of other consumption, such as intermediate links, transportation, slaughtering, warehousing and sales, at most doubled, a catty of meat is equal to 10 catties of grain, farmers can obtain considerable benefits.
Not to mention, through some conversion and addition, it can reach 3 catties out of 1 catty, which is a more scientific method, so the price of pork is generally equivalent to 5-6 times the price of rice and grain, and there is also this objective law.
This only refers to the pure feeding of grain, pig technology, feeding food is not a good technology, how to use other things, replace food, with cheaper ingredients to raise pigs, has become the key to profit, later generations are more with feed, the price of a pound of feed, compared to food, is much less.
Feed is a very high-tech project, once China's richest man, was born in the feed industry, Zhao Xin temporarily has no feed production methods, pigs can also be raised with grain, you can get a relatively considerable profit, at least two or three times more, it is also a stable profiteering, but, not very suitable for opening.
In this era, even people can't eat enough food, let alone let animals eat, for the time being, in the form of farmers, the original family raised one or two pigs, now it can be increased to three or four, or even more, the salary of the steamed bun workshop, buy a few little piglets, this is nothing.
Piglets just born are not expensive, because the demand is not very wide, in the early stage can be replaced with a small amount of grain, bran and pigweed, some steamed bun processing waste, can also raise pigs, in the later stage, you can use new technology, for example, green storage feed.
This is the invention of later generations, greatly promoted the progress of breeding, green storage feed with the scraps in the breeding, some plant residues that are not suitable for pigs to eat, through clear, lactic acid bacteria fermentation, the generation of lactose, which can not only provide energy to pigs, but also very cheap.
Lactic acid bacteria, need to be slowly searched, the lactic acid bacteria contained in the dough, not easy to extract, it seems that later generations used apples and flour to make natural yeast method, but the specific steps, Zhao Xin forgot, can only take his time, in short, yeast this thing, not only in the steamed bun is widely used, in many agriculture-related industries such as green storage feed, there is a good use.
