Chapter 99: A Bowl of Pennies (Asking for Assists in the New Week)

"No, such a bowl of porridge is a big loss!" The third uncle suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, and said hurriedly: "Don't say that you have to add dried fish powder, and the food in the porridge is more than a penny, you.... You're planning to lose money!

Listen to the old man, sir, don't do that! Relief for the victims is what His Majesty should do, let's live a good life, if you really can't bear it, you can see the flower on the road and reward two steamed buns! If you plan to spend a bowl of porridge and a penny, no amount of family business is enough for you! ”

Looking at the third uncle's eagerness, Zhang Yi felt very comfortable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the end, it is a person on his own Zhuangzi, and he knows to think about himself. However, he felt that the third uncle might have misunderstood what he meant, so he called Yunren and saw that Yunren had already walked over with a tray.

"Young master, third uncle!" Yunren skillfully placed the tray on the stone table not far from the third uncle, and suddenly two bowls of fragrant and green paste appeared in front of him.

Zhang Yi sat down at this time, smiled and smiled at the third uncle: "The third uncle probably didn't eat breakfast, why don't you drink a bowl of gruel?" ”

"This ....." the third uncle hesitated a little.

After all, it is the Viscount's Mansion, and he is actually very satisfied to be able to say a few words to Zhang Yi, as a banker, he feels that he is already a very rare exception, but drinking porridge at the Lord's house, he is a little unnatural. How blessed is this?

"Here, you can taste it!" Zhang Yi smiled and handed one of the bowls to the third uncle, and said, "What I just boiled is a fresh thing, and I don't know how it tastes, you can find fault!" ”

It is said to be porridge, but it is actually paste, but it is different from ordinary paste, and both the color and temperature show a noble atmosphere. Of course, this is what the third uncle said when he looked at the small white porcelain bowl in his hand, can it be simple to hold porridge in such a precious small bowl?

The food of the noble family is different! This is what the third uncle is thinking now!

Who has ever seen so much salt added to porridge? There is also a fishy smell, there must be meat added to it, but this fishy smell is very light, it should not be added much, and what is even stronger is the unique aroma of grain and vegetables emitted from the porridge. After taking a bite of the porridge, a warmth slowly rose in his stomach, and he swore that this bowl of porridge was definitely the most delicious bowl of porridge he had ever drunk in his life.

Zhang Yi also drank porridge with a small bowl, but the action was not big, to be precise, he should be tasting porridge, drinking a small sip into his mouth and slowly rejecting the vegetables in it with his teeth, as if it was delicious in the world, and it was very sweet.

"Sir, I won't tell you, I'm afraid this bowl of porridge is the most delicious bowl of porridge that the old man has ever drunk in his life!" The third uncle sighed very much, his face was full of intoxication, as if he had not yet woken up from the delicious food just now.

It's complete sycophancy. Zhang Yi also drank a bowl, although the taste was passable, it was definitely not as delicious as the third uncle said, so he asked: "Does the third uncle think such a bowl of porridge is worth a penny?" ”

"What? A penny? The third uncle's eyes widened suddenly, he never thought that Zhang Yi would say this sentence even if he dreamed.

However, when I looked into the bowl and tasted the feeling just now, it was no wonder that the green vegetables in the porridge just now were stuffed between my teeth, and the feelings were actually grass......

Even so, the third uncle still thinks that the bowl of porridge tastes very good, a penny.... It is definitely worth it, so he said: "This porridge is what you said is made from flour ground from grass and grain?" However, such a bowl of old man thinks that even two pennies are not expensive! It's just..."The third uncle was still a little uneasy, and continued: "It's just that there is too much food in the porridge, right?" ”

This is definitely a word of conscience, although the bowl is small, but you can be full when you drink a bowl, especially the taste of porridge is not bad, in his opinion, even the porridge shop in Chang'an City is estimated to be this price.

"As long as you think it's worth a penny and a bowl!" Zhang Yi laughed, pointed to the porridge bowl and said: "In fact, the main material of this porridge is not grain, wheat flour and pea flour are added to it, the biggest advantage of these two materials is that the starch content is high, and the most important thing is that it only needs to be stirred a little evenly to become the current paste." Just now I was letting the kitchen experiment, a large pot of porridge powder only used less than half a catty, but the finely chopped grass tips used seven or eight catties, although a little dried fish powder was added, the cost was only ten yuan.

But such a big pot can be divided into forty or fifty bowls, do you say that if I sell a bowl for a penny, will I lose money, or will I make a profit? So this forage is definitely a good thing, the more the merrier! When the time comes, the victims will enter the city, and we can let the young people on the Zhuangzi go to the gates of each city to set up a porridge shed to contribute to the affected people, even if His Majesty knows about it, I am afraid that he will not blame us, but a reward, right? ”

The third uncle's eyes were open, and he only felt that he had lived for decades and was simply alive to a dog.

In the hands of the lord, a dozen or so things can actually become dozens of gruel in the blink of an eye..... This kind of ability is the real ability, and you can't accept it.

No one knows whether the third uncle has a brain pump or what, since he left the Viscount's Mansion, he has let the idle farmers buy forage everywhere, which has hit the farmers who originally wanted to make up for their family life with some forage. However, due to the prestige of the lord and the third uncle, the farmers still brought a baby who could just count to the house to find the housekeeper to receive copper coins to buy forage. Although there is only a subsidy of five cents for each stone purchased, it is still slightly better than nothing!

As time passed, the weather became warmer and warmer, and as the jumps in the field became bigger and bigger, the whole Chang'an showed a mood called panic.

Now that all the grain stores have been closed, the grain merchants are not without grain in their hands, they are waiting for the imperial court to open a long liquidation, as long as the grain in the long liquidation is sold at a low price, they can make a windfall. As for how much lime or how much sand and gravel to mix in the grain at that time, this is what they are most concerned about at the moment.

There are very few people walking around the streets, because walking requires physical strength, and in order to save food, less activity is a very effective way to save money, and they all hope to survive this impending crisis through a dull gruel.

Compared with Zhang Yi's good food and sleep, the current Li Er seems to be living like a year.

The recitals on the desk have already piled up, Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Qianzhong Road, Jiannan Road..... The 800 miles of urgent submissions from dozens of state capitals have only one meaning, that is, the locust plague has appeared!
