Chapter 38 Bamboo Tube Instant Noodles
After the death of Song Zhenzong, the great enemy in the north, the Liao State, happened to be unstable in internal affairs, and the surrounding tribes were ready to move, and there was no time to look south, and the power of the Song Dynasty was smoothly transferred.
After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, due to his shallow foundation, he did not carry out radical reforms, but further supported the Royal Academy, expanded the scale of the academy, and trained more teachers for the preparation of local branches in the future.
The field army is also under Zhao Zhen's arrangement, gradually adding the elite of the border army and the township soldiers, divided into two and growing, the only deficiency is the restriction of war horses, the cavalry still cannot expand, and all the cavalry is still cavalry without horses.
With the efforts of Kou Zhun, the forces of the DPRK and China have also formed a royalist faction, and their power is increasing day by day, and everything seems to be moving in the expected way.
As the saying goes, if a person gains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven. There is also the saying that there was a son of heaven and a courtier. Although Zhao Zhen is not good at other official positions, the inner court can do whatever he wants, Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Linglong can also be regarded as daughters-in-law, one is the chief eunuch, and the other is the female official Shanggong, respectively.
"Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Linglong, the two of you are also officials, and you will have a whole big name in the future, and it's not a matter to always have a nickname! Why don't I give you a name? β
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty, give the slave a name! Xiao Linglong said happily.
"That's good! I remember Xiao Linglong, your original surname was Li, right? β
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Then I'll name it Qiuxiang, what do you think?"
"Thank the emperor for the name!" Xiao Linglong hurriedly saluted.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what about the little ones? Hurry up and get one for the little one! Xiao Shunzi also said hurriedly.
"You? I think about it...... Yes, aren't you surnamed Cao! Just give you the name of Cao Ren of the Three Kingdoms. Zhao Zhen touched his chin and said.
"Emperor Xie, this name sounds domineering, and the little one likes it very much!"
"If you like it! Go about your business! β
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Although both of them have big names, most of the time Zhao Zhen still calls them nicknames, after all, they are used to being called, and the big names are just used to deal with formal occasions.
At this moment, in Jinling City, thousands of miles away, there is also a guy who is unwilling to be lonely. Who is this guy? Yes, it's Zhang Rou's child.
She heard that the people who came out of this era brought dry food such as pickles and vegetable balls, and she was deeply dissatisfied with them. So she thought about what could be made into dry food, although this was not a matter at all in the later generations, and all kinds of snacks made people dizzy, but this era has really become a problem, and no matter what you do, it involves the problem of storage. Beef jerky is relatively easy to preserve, but everyone knows that there is a shortage of cattle in the Song Dynasty, you have to dare to make beef jerky, and you will be caught and eaten free meals in minutes.
It wasn't until one day that she saw someone pulling a huge bamboo on the street to pass by, so she slapped her head and said like Lin Xiang's sister-in-law: "I'm so stupid!" How stupid! β
Zhang Rou, who had an idea, immediately recruited his royal subordinate Fu Zhong. This unlucky child listened to Zhang Rou's words, and without saying a word, he found a carpenter and started tinkering, completely forgetting that he still had the identity of a young master, and he had no consciousness of the second generation of officials.
Let's say that this carpenter, at the request of Zhang Rou, cut the selected large bamboo into a section and a half, cut off a thick layer of skin, and polished it into a thin bamboo tube, so that the deep section can be filled with noodles, the shallow section can be filled with seasonings, and the bamboo material cut off from the outside can also be used to make chopsticks or paper, which is simply a lot of one stone.
After a series of treatments, the bamboo tube becomes less prone to cracking, and after drying, it becomes the packaging of instant noodles, which is a big problem in the era when there is no sealing material.
After the packaging was completed, Zhang Rou took Fu Zhong to try to make noodles and seasonings together. The two came to the kitchen, and Zhang Rou drove away the other subordinates, leaving Fu Zhong alone.
"Apprentice, you have been a teacher for all these years, although it is for cooking, but you have also helped the teacher a lot. Seeing that you have no intention of fame, for the sake of your future livelihood, for the sake of your future livelihood, for the teacher to pass on a unique skill to you today, after you pay your tuition, go home and let your father invest in you, and also do your own business, always revolving around the master every day has no future! Zhang Rou also had a headache when she looked at her simple-minded apprentice, so she took this opportunity to find a way out for him, at least to ensure that he could live well in his life!
Fu Zhong looked at her with resentment and said leisurely: "Master, if you don't want to do business, you just want to learn cooking skills, and your dream is to be the king of chefs in the Great Song Dynasty!" β
Zhang Rou looked at this very stupid and naΓ―ve apprentice, expressed his speechlessness, gritted his teeth, pointed to his head and said viciously: "Is there still me as a master in your eyes?" I dare not listen to the master's words, is my ears itching again! I know that learning to cook, your big family will rely on you in the future, and your father can still be an official for a lifetime, so you have to find a way out for your family in the future! You like cooking, this is okay, but you don't know how to turn a corner, find a trustworthy person to help you run it, don't you just manage the technology! I serve you! β
"The master will do whatever he wants, as long as I learn to cook!" Fu Zhong happily accepted this suggestion, but his essence was revealed in one sentence.
Zhang Rou shook her head, speechless, and sighed secretly: "It seems that you still have to beat his father's idea!" β
According to the understanding of later generations, this instant noodle processing is not a difficult thing for Zhang Rou, and the only thing that needs to be considered is the problem of mass production.
Zhang Rou took Fu Zhong to start making noodles according to the conventional method of making noodles and good noodles, drawing them into silk, boiling them properly in boiling water, scooping them up and arranging them into a columnar dough of the right size of a bamboo tube, frying and shaping them with pressed vegetable oil, and drying them to become the most primitive instant noodles.
Later, the two of them made appropriate adjustments to the production process of the opposite raw materials, and finally came up with a more satisfactory work. The noodles are ready, and the most important thing left is the seasoning, which is also the key point of instant noodles, Zhang Rou gave it to Fu Zhong as a secret formula.
Due to the limitation of materials, Zhang Rou only made the seasoning recipe of Laotan sauerkraut and sauerkraut pork noodles, and planned to hand over the rest to his own apprentice to play.
Fu Zhong, who had a new gadget, had a lot of fun by himself, and he couldn't extricate himself from the production of instant noodles for many days.
Seeing this, Zhang Rou had no choice but to go and discuss with his father by herself.
"Mr. Fu, the little girl came uninvited, there is a lot of disturbance, please Haihan!" Zhang Rou came to Fu Bo's house, saluted him and handed him a box of snacks, and said to him: "This is a little bit of the little girl's heart, please smile!" β
"Don't dare to be old! The strange girl of Jinling came to the humble house, and she was shining! Haha......" Fu Bo helped Zhang Rou and said with a laugh: "The child is stubborn, Mr. Lao has bothered, and the old man is really grateful!" β
"You see the outside, this is also his fate, although the noble son does not like fame and fortune, but he can concentrate on research, and he will definitely have an opportunity in the future, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you can rest assured when you are old! The little girl came this time because she wanted to discuss with you one thing, although your son is very talented in cooking, he is not good at making a living. β
Fu Bo heard this and nodded, his son was still very clear.
Zhang Rou continued: "In order to make his road smoother in the future, I specially taught him a skill, which I call instant noodles, a kind of dry food that can be carried around and easy to eat, and you can ask your son for details later." I hope you will always come forward to take care of this business for him, control the technology yourself, break it down into different steps and hand it over to different workers to make it. I believe that this business will definitely make great achievements in the future, and this can be regarded as my gift to him as a master! β
"Thank you so much, sir, thank you for your great kindness! To meet you is really a blessing he has cultivated for eight lifetimes! Fu Bo listened to her words and stood up excitedly, and kept thanking him. Over the years, all the people in Jinling City know that if they can get the guidance of the strange girl, then Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner!
It is said that there are many people who take great pains to meet this legendary strange woman. There are also rumors that even if it is a small stall, the business of the shop pointed out by this strange woman has skyrocketed, and many merchants are squeezing their heads to join the Siqi Group. But fortunately, there are a group of interest groups she has cultivated, which has blocked a lot of trouble for her.
A few months later, with Zhang Rou's help, the first instant noodle production factory in Jinling was officially established. One by one, the trained workers went to their posts, and Fu's brand Laotan sauerkraut pork instant noodles were produced in such an assembly line way. The air-dried dough is placed in a bamboo tube of similar size, the seasoning is placed at the other end, and after being sealed with paraffin, a bamboo tube version of instant noodles is formed.
Fu's instant noodles have been produced and put on the shelves of the Siqi supermarket chain, and under the promotion of various clerks, the people of Jinling quickly accepted this convenient and delicious pasta. Many caravans found that this kind of instant noodles was simply tailor-made for themselves, and they slept in the layman's business all year round, and with this instant noodles, at least in terms of diet, they have placed long-term purchase orders.
Under the overwhelming publicity offensive, instant noodles were quickly put on the dining tables of every household and became a necessity for home travel. The Fu family also made a lot of money because of this, which was really envious of others, and they complained that they had not sent their children to be apprentices before. At this time, instead of laughing at the Fu family's failure, Old Man Fu raised his head high in front of his colleagues......
Although the transportation was inconvenient and the logistics were not smooth in ancient times, this instant noodles spread to the far west with the footsteps of the Silk Road, and became a cherished dish on the table of the aristocracy, and the nobles used it to show off their wealth was all the rage.
Of course, these situations didn't even come to mind Zhang Rou, who created it, who was in her boudoir at the moment, sitting in front of the window and looking at herself in the mirror in a daze!
Once upon a time, I was still lying in my husband's arms and coquettish, looking forward to the future together, giving birth to a baby, and a happy family of three......
Crystal clear tears jumped out mischievously from the empty beautiful eyes, crossed the white and smooth face, came to this earthly world full of joys and sorrows, and wet the innocent dresser.
A few years ago, when she saw a poor little girl, the soft-hearted Zhang Rou bought it and made her own personal maid, named Little Pink. Little Peach is two years younger than Zhang Rou, and she is delicate and cute, but no matter how delicate she is, she doesn't understand why her little master is in a daze from time to time.
Curious children have also asked their masters, and they are always told "You are too young to understand!" "Something like that, isn't this bullying a child?,Isn't it just asking if you don't understand?,Girl!
From then on, when Xiao Taohong saw the master in a daze, she could only shake her head and say nothing.
Time flies like a white horse, more than ten years have passed in a flash, but no matter how she makes a mistake in the Great Song Dynasty, she has also created a blockbuster foundation, she always does not have a sense of steadfastness in her heart, she always feels that she is dreaming, maybe she will wake up from the dream and return to that familiar world and that familiar person.
However, every time I wake up, I am still faced with this familiar and unfamiliar world. Time does not shift by her will, and she still walks unhurriedly. After every hesitation, she had to go on with her life, after all, there was still an old mother and two sisters here who regarded her as their only support.
In order to make the world more real to herself, she decided to continue to create a special creation in this era, creating a sky with her own imprint, and declaring her existence to this era.
I can't afford to hurt, I can't afford to hurt, and the crazy girl can't afford to hurt......
