Chapter Sixty-Eight: Busy and Busy is the Most Fulfilling

As soon as noon passed, in the expectation of everyone, the competition began, and those who joined later, whether they were the original students, or those who joined later, were a little nervous, and some people even felt that they had no bottom than the imperial examination.

After checking their identities one by one, they took their game numbers and walked to the academy, which is full of one-story bungalows, but it occupies a lot of land, and even occupies some fertile land, and the fake title deeds made by the yamen.

Others went in, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan got a small boat and floated on the lake, the two of them didn't want to see others compose poems there, this kind of improvisational poems, there are few brilliant poems, they don't want to suffer that crime.

The old man passed, and he had to see who could enter the academy, and Liu Er and Xin'er were also taken by the old man's side.

The rest of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ran here to row and play, to see how today's game went, if there is nothing to do, the two of them will go back to Huayuan County early tomorrow morning, where the construction is one after another, and the two of them are afraid that Zhang's father will not be able to do it, so they have to go back to help.

"Looking at the water, I want to jump down and float there instead of sitting in a boat." Zhang Xiaobao squinted at the sunlight reflected on the water surface, feeling stuffy and hot, thinking that it would be very comfortable to swim in the water.

Wang Juan didn't feel anything at all, but when he heard Zhang Xiaobao say it, he also began to heat up, and the boat rowed by the two of them had a shed on it to shade the sun, and so on, blocking most of the sunlight, the wind that could blow was not as cool as the lake should have, and it was also hot and sultry.

"Xiaobao, don't talk about it, why don't we go back to Zhuangzi, there is a swimming pool there, go there and swim for a while, and then sleep."

Wang Juan reached into the water and stirred it a few times, and this time he finally felt cool.

'Good, good! The two of them were playing on the lake, and a burst of shouting came from the direction of the academy, and I don't know how many people were shouting, and they could be heard from such a distance.

"Forget it, let's go back to Zhuangzi, there is movement here." Zhang Xiaobao has been paddling for less than half an hour, and listening to the cheers from time to time, he is a little annoyed, mainly because the weather is too hot, which makes it difficult for people's hearts to calm down.

The two of them rowed the boat to the place where the water and clouds docked, and walked towards Zhuangzi together, where the yard of the main house was not deserted, and there were still people to clean it.

"Xiaobao, it seems that the villagers have also made some money this time, all of them are two-story houses, there are many rooms in them, renting out a room is not much for ten cents a day, I smell a smell of stewed chicken, so strong, are the villagers thinking about it, stewed chicken for the people they live with at noon? Who makes this place more poultry? ”

Wang Juan snorted twice and said, Zhang Xiaobao also smelled it, it was a very strong taste, if only one family did it, it would definitely not be able to survive for so long after eating, and smiled, "It seems that the farmers want to deal with some chickens, twenty days, every day to stew chicken, I don't know if those people will get sick from eating, it's scary to think about." ”

Wang Juan thought of eating chickens that day, covered his mouth and chuckled twice, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "The chickens we raise here, except for laying eggs, are divided into various parts and sold, although the price is not cheap, but there is always no way to make their own finished products and sell them to make money, it is better to think of a way." ”

"What do you think? Grilled chicken? This is okay, but there must be a market first, otherwise no one buys the roasted chicken, then it will all be bad at home, who loves to eat roast chicken? It is best to be able to keep it for a long time, there is no vacuum equipment, and it is not possible to use frozen, before the chicken was big, killed, frozen can also be sold, if the roast chicken is frozen, what will it taste? ”

When Zhang Xiaobao thought of the finished product processing, the appearance of a roast chicken flashed in his mind.

Wang Juan thought about the frozen roast chicken, "I don't think it's anything, it's frozen, the taste has entered the chicken, when the time comes, if you want to eat cold, you can eat cold, if you want to eat hot, you can steam it in the pot, in addition to roast chicken and smoked chicken, you can smoke it with some burning and delicious wood chips, so that the taste is better." ”

Zhang Xiaobao sells thirteen incense, and he also knows some recipes, and the mess is basically different in various places, and the approximate materials are about the same, listening to Wang Juan's words and nodded, "Then do both, so that the farmers can have more income." ”

"So have you figured out how to sell? Even if it's frozen, it can't be left for too long, otherwise the money from a chicken is not enough to sell for ice. ”

Wang Juan also raised the issue of sales, and Zhang Xiaobao said confidently: "People who lack heart and eyes will directly roast and smoke the chicken in Zhuangzi and then sell it, so we won't open the roast chicken restaurant and smoked chicken shop elsewhere and smoke and roast it there?" Adjust it more to see what kind of taste people in which place they like, and make it according to what people in that place love to eat.

Zhuangzi is responsible for sending chickens everywhere, and now Zhuangzi only grows rice, which is much more idle than before, so that some of them can go to other stores, which can be regarded as said at the beginning, not to limit them to Zhuangzi, we will provide them with prescriptions, and match them with those materials, and then only one percent of the net profit will be on the line.

A store collects one percent, like a franchise fee, cheaper, not so much, nine stores we collect money is the money in a store, first open a store in the whole state, wait almost, don't worry about it, naturally someone wants to learn, or a buyer.

Let's try first, is there such a person, if there is, let's let him join, sell chickens to him, and sell him the prepared seasonings, this can't collect net profits, not so many accountants used to calculate how much money he sold, and can only add the price to the seasoning. ”

Zhang Xiaobao actually didn't expect many outsiders to come back to join, if there is, it is okay to sell it only with the banker, especially those who are in a hurry, buy a roast chicken, and it can be used as a meal and a dish, which is convenient, and the people who sail are even more so, they can eat at any time, and even work while holding a chicken leg.

The cost is low, it will not be too expensive, and the chicken does not have to be so big, although the general roast chicken and smoked chicken are roosters, but the hen can also be done, the chicks are raised for three months, they can be used to do, sold by weight, you can buy half one, half of it costs about twenty yuan, which is not expensive at all.

A chicken that lays eggs can still be sold for dozens of yuan, who will say when buying a roast chicken that your chicken has not laid eggs yet, and it can't be sold at that price.

Wang Juan also thought of this, if you do this, the feeding time is short, as long as the amount goes fast, it is better than waiting to lay eggs to make money, the chickens that lay eggs should be specially supplemented with calcium, otherwise it is not possible to lay out or soft shell eggs, and the local ordinary people may eat less, but you can open the store in a place with a large flow of customers.

"Xiaobao, since the chicken can be smoked, the meat can also be smoked in a good way, people who have a little money here don't like to eat pork, one is because there are not many people who usually raise pigs, unless it is at the foot of the mountain, you can cut some pigweed to feed, otherwise people can't eat, how can there be food to feed the pigs."

The other is that pigs are buried, they always like to roll in the mud, and even feces and urine will be stained on their bodies, but after all, there are still people who eat, especially ordinary people's, who can't afford to eat other meat, and the fat pork can produce oil, and the thin ones can also be sacrificed, and we can let people smoke it out and sell it to such people.

I think so, poultry manure can be given to pigs, plus the grass on the mountain, not too much food, pig manure can be used to feed fish and earthworms, we went to Huayuan County, just leave this matter to the farmers to arrange themselves, provide them with an idea, do you think it's okay? ”

"Okay, why not, even if it fails in the end, it won't lose too much money, people always have to try again and again, maybe the dealer can think of more ways, this thing will be done when you go back, don't swim first."

Zhang Xiaobao agreed with this very much, and thought of some such things at the beginning, but it was delayed because of other things, and he didn't have time to do it, the pork was smoked, and the taste was good, and unlike smoked chicken, smoked chicken could not be dispersed after being smoked, so others would buy it in a good place.

The pork is smoked, it can be cut into slices, or it can be made into a piece of smoked pork jerky, which is stored for a long time, and it is also easy to carry, and you can bring some when you go out, which is stronger than bacon and the kind of direct smoke here, and rich people don't eat or sell them.

Two people who were already idle, because of an idea, began to get busy again, Zhang Xiaobao has to mix materials, some of them don't have them, and they have to replace them with other similar ones, after this kind of recipe is adjusted, outsiders want to distinguish it by taste, it is too difficult.

Many spices are not used at all nowadays, but are sold in pharmacies as medicinal herbs, and various medicinal herbs are ground into powder, and then some spices are put in, unless you find a medical doctor who is proficient in cooking to taste it carefully, then there may be some hope.

But Zhang Xiaobao will not leave this opportunity to people who are both cooks and doctors, and the prepared seasonings are put into wine or soy sauce according to the different recipes, even if they can't be put out, they will be taken out separately, mixed with some neutral seasonings that have no effect on the taste.

Zhang Xiaobao is responsible for the deployment, once out of a sack, Wang Juan wrote out the method of production, when the time comes, just give the Zhuang households on the Zhuangzi, some of the Zhuang households now know a few words, even if they don't know it, it's okay, the little babies on the Zhuangzi are all studying in the school.

After some tossing, it was already dark, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found the people in the inner courtyard who stayed behind, asked them to bring the oven, and prepared to bake a few to eat first, and by the way, let the farmers see what they were going to sell in the future.

The two of them didn't feel hot when they were busy, but now when they stopped, they found that they were sweating.

Running to the pool and jumping in, Zhang Xiaobao exhaled comfortably, "It's still the most fulfilling when you're busy." ”
