Chapter 7 A Livelihood

It still exists in many places in later generations, but its function as a practical tool is no longer there, but more as a landscape.

But the construction is all the same.

With the pattern, with the skilled wheelsmith and carpenter, it is not difficult to make those few gears. Then what to do is to lengthen the flap groove to reduce the inclination angle, so that the water feeding distance of the overturned car becomes longer and higher, and then widen the flap to increase the water carrying.

The pattern alone took Wei Renshi a whole night and a day. And a lot of waste paper was created, which could be used when it was wiped off.

Li Zheng also found a wheelmaker and a carpenter on this day.

The next day, it took half a day to explain the pattern clearly, and the carpenter and wheelsmith started work, and then he hurried to Li He's house.

Li He's mother was deeply interested in Wei Renshi's improved plough, so she sent Li Rong, a family member, to drive a donkey cart and go to Fuchang with Wei Renshi to pull the plow.

The two chatted with each other, and then walked out of Changgu and walked to Fuchang County.

The donkey cart is slow and steady, swaying and swaying. The warm breeze is just right, and it only feels gentle when it comes on.

The willow is the most beneficial spring of the year.

It's just that the people of Fuchang don't seem to have the leisure to consume, and the people on the road are all in a hurry, but the beggars on the side of the road, who are horizontal or vertical or lying down, are in the sun.

Wei Renshi went to fetch the components of the Quyuan plow, and since they were all made separately, those craftsmen didn't know what they were making.

"Wei Langjun, are you hungry?" Li Rong suddenly jumped down from the donkey cart, pointed to the side of the road and said, "There is a seller of Hu cakes in this place, which is the most delicious, and my family Langjun likes to eat it the most." It's just more expensive, and my family can't eat it often. ”

Wei Renshi smiled: "You are worried about the copper coins in my pocket." Then I still ask your family to borrow it, and you don't know it. ”

Li Rong was not very old in the end, and his mind was pierced, so he was embarrassed to jump into the donkey cart again, ready to continue walking.

But Wei Renshi was originally a mouth-eater in his later life, and he has never eaten anything good since he crossed over to the present. Hearing Li Rong say this, he suddenly felt greedy.

At that moment, he took out some copper coins, handed them to Li Rong, and said, "Forget it, for the sake of you leading the donkey cart to run with me this trip, I will invite you to eat!" You can buy a few more, and go back to my two people in the house, as well as my aunt and brother Changji, to taste them together." ”

Li Rong was immediately pleasantly surprised, took the copper coin in one hand and jumped off the donkey cart, and ran away happily.

After a while, he came back with a few Hu Biscuits.

As soon as he jumped back on the donkey cart, Wei Renshi smelled the smell of meat, and he couldn't help but move his index fingers.

This Hu cake is very large, the shape is about like naan, and there is mutton on it, which makes Wei Renshi, who has not eaten anything good since he arrived here, even more drooling.

Some couldn't wait to take a bite, the Hu cake was crispy but not hard, plus the taste of mutton, Wei Renshi even tasted the taste of pepper, which was really good.

"Take a pound of mutton, layer it in a giant hu cake, use pepper and soy sauce in the middle, moisten it with crisp, force it into the oven, wait for the meat to be half-cooked and eat......" Wei Renshi shook his head and read the words, reciting the Chinese about the Tang Dynasty cuisine that he had read in his later life, and said: "Tut...... This practice is well deserved! ”

Although Li Rong is a family member, he is also Li He's scholar, and he can understand these things with Li He.

Hearing Wei Renshi say this, he asked suspiciously, "Wei Langjun knows this kind of Hu Cake practice?" ”

Wei Renshi was in a good mood because he finally ate something quite delicious, so he boasted again: "This son naturally knows how to do it. Not only that, but Ben Gongzi also knows that this cake is delicious, but it still lacks a taste. If you add it, that's the icing on the cake. There are too many ways to eat Hu cakes, and my son has nothing, otherwise, he will also sell Hu cakes, and he can't squeeze it. ”

"Really?" Li Rong was full of suspicion.

"Hmph." There was also a sneer from the side.

Wei Renshi followed the laughter and saw an old man staring at him with disdain. Seeing Wei Renshi looking over, his face was even more disdainful, and he said directly: "Xiao Langjun said a lot of big words!" ”

Wei Renshi lived to middle age in later life, and he already knew the truth that disaster came from his mouth, and said in his heart that this old man was either related to the seller of Hu Biscuits, or he liked the Hu Biscuits of that family very much. I won't get into trouble because of this cowhide. So he raised his hand casually and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the kid is just talking big, just bragging cowhide, this Hu cake is very delicious." ”

The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, the old man saw that Wei Renshi said so, and it was not easy to speak again, so he turned his head and left.

After the old man left, Li Rong said, "Is what Wei Langjun just said true or false?" If it's true, just go and sell Hu Cakes, that Hu Cake business is actually not lost to Lan Changlou! ”

"You're just imagining. How can a shop that sells Hu cakes catch up with Lanchang Building? Wei Renshi smiled, not believing Li Rong's words. However, his mind was also enlivened by Li Rong's words.

There shouldn't be a lot of seasoning this year, right?

Many of the seasonings commonly used in later generations should still be mixed with spices or medicinal herbs, or still in the wild or in the Western Regions. If you can concoct it, it should be a good business. I dare not say that I am rich and rich, and I can definitely be satisfied without worrying about food and clothing.

So he asked, "Li Rong, do you know which medicine number in Fuchang County has the most and most complete medicinal materials?" ”

"In Fuchang County, it's Jikangtang. However, if you want to talk about the most complete and complete, you still have to go to the Qingbao Medical Workshop in Luoyang. Li Rong replied.

Wei Renshi laughed again after hearing this: "I didn't expect you to be young, but you know a lot." ”

"As a subordinate, you have to pay attention to everything, and you don't specify when you will use it." Li Rong replied: "My wife is not in good health, and she has been to the Qingbao Medical Workshop a few times. ”

The donkey cart walked slowly, the sun was warm, people were swaying on the cart, the sun was swaying overhead, and before they knew it, sleepiness came quietly, and people fell asleep with their eyes squinting.

Li Rong's snoring gradually started, but Wei Renshi kept thinking in his head.

Seasoning is indeed the same business that can be involved, there are many large and small restaurants in Fuchang alone, like the prosperous place in Luoyang City, and there are countless restaurants and restaurants, not to mention the capital Chang'an...... This market is really not small.

As long as you can find those ingredients, the seasoning is not difficult to make.

However, if you want to find those raw materials, I am afraid you have to go to the big cities of Luoyang and Chang'an.

Because those raw materials are estimated to be still mixed in medicinal herbs and spices at the moment, it is still a question whether they can be bought in ordinary small places.

Even some of them have not come to the Central Plains in the Western Regions, so they have to rely on caravans to bring them back, let alone small places.

And you have to think of a way to promote it, otherwise no one will buy it if you make it, and you will lose money.

The prospects for this business should be very good. The bustling Chang'an can't go for the time being, but you can always buy some from the nearby pharmacies.

Let's see what you can find nearby that can be used as a seasoning, make a few things first, and then slowly continue to develop new seasonings in the future.

The future is still very bright!

Wei Renshi greeted the spring breeze and whistled.
