The most talked about joke by the people of Qingshen is the story of Chen Sanlang turning stones into gold and helping debtors on the verge of bankruptcy to turn over and get rich.

Cai Chuanfu, who is respected as the king of chefs, has personally admitted that Chen Jia Saburo is his mentor. When he was desperate, he passed on the art of stir-frying and taught him how to run a hotel. Without Chen Ke's appearance, he might have committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and there would never be today's self-respecting Laifu Building.

Li Jian, who produced Huangjiao wine, had already admitted that he was ready to hang himself, and it was Cai Chuanfu who appeared in front of him with a jar of orange wine, which gave rise to the hot-selling Huangjiao wine in Shu. At first, he thought that this wine was Master Cai's craftsmanship, but later he learned that it was originally taught by Chen Jia Saburo!

Not only the owner of the orange orchard, surnamed Zhang, but also the orange farmers in Qingshen County, have to thank Huang Jiaojiu, but also Chen Jiasanlang, who no longer worries about sales, and the wine farm will buy the mandarin oranges they grow at twice the original price.

The sauce merchant surnamed Tu also said that he went from a stinky sauce seller on the verge of bankruptcy to a guest in various restaurants, and the products were gradually exported to various states, all because Cai Chuanfu improved the production process for him.

Because of the monopoly of salt, the price of salt was expensive, and ordinary people in the Song Dynasty used all kinds of bean paste and sweet noodle sauce to season. Originally made as a dipping sauce, with the advancement of the sauce making process, a method of cooking dishes was gradually developed, that is, the sauce method. The sauce method is also the main folk cooking method for a long time.

The northerners eat sweet noodle sauce with wheat flour as the main raw material, while the southerners and Shu people eat bean paste. The sauce merchant brewed the latter, but in front of the famous Pixian bean paste, the Tu family's goods are simply weak...... After many years of lingering, it is finally about to go out of business.

However, Cai Chuanfu asked him to slightly improve the production process of bean paste, mainly to extend the fermentation time, so that the bean paste was fermented into sauce mash. The mash is then pressed on a grinding disc to extract the juice to obtain a shiny black liquid. Cai Chuanfu called it soy sauce.

Although soybean sauce and soy sauce are one step apart, the appearance of soy sauce was in the Southern Song Dynasty. This is not to say that people before the Northern Song Dynasty were too stupid to know how to juice soybean sauce, but because of the cooking techniques - stewed, steamed, boiled, and pickled, bean paste can be competent.

There is only stir-frying, and it is easy to paste the pot with bean paste, even if it is not pasted in the pot, it is a big puddle of sticky paste when served, so it is good for people to see it without spitting, how can they raise their appetite? Therefore, in the Southern Song Dynasty, when stir-fried vegetables were popular, soy sauce came into being.

And Qingshen County, in modern times, has become a city of stir-frying. Naturally, chefs need a more aesthetically pleasing and easy-to-grasp seasoning to replace the bean paste and get the flavor of the sauce in the stir-fry.

The advent of soy sauce perfectly solves this problem, and it is naturally welcomed by various restaurants. And as Chen Ke predicted back then, the stir-fry technique was simple and easy to learn, and could not be kept secret for a long time, and sure enough, a year or two ago, the method of stir-frying had basically spread in Qingshen County and became the main cooking method for residents.

It is estimated that only those chefs in Bianjing have enough skills and scheming to blow a small craft into a magic skill and hide it tightly.

But in any case, the popularity of stir-frying methods has greatly benefited the sales of soy sauce. Qingshen County also has a new word called 'soy sauce'.

By this year, the method of stir-frying has spread in neighboring states and counties, although it is only a simple method of stir-frying, but it still needs the participation of soy sauce, so Tujia soy sauce has also become a best-selling product, Tu Boss has opened ten new brewing pools, although it is not yet developed, but has tasted the sweetness of the day into the gold.

There are also the remaining two, a charcoal merchant surnamed Qian and a bamboo garden owner surnamed He, who found out that even the soy sauce is the masterpiece of the Chen family. Naturally, he couldn't sit still, and went to Chen's house with a generous gift to ask for debts and shares...... The two of them didn't know where to find out, only if Chen Jiazaburo had dry shares, he would sincerely help.

It is said that the money has been returned, and Chen Ke has no need to pay attention to them. But he needed the two of them to help him feel comfortable, so he agreed.

After becoming a shareholder of the two companies, he not only helped them connect with the sales outlets, so that all the merchants he could influence purchased the Qian family's bamboo charcoal, but also took great pains to help improve the charcoal burning method.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as Chen Ke arrived in this world, he descended on the charcoal field, and he was naturally no stranger to the method of burning bamboo charcoal in this era. He went to the Qianjia charcoal field to visit the field, only to see the workers fill the fire door with fuel, and then put the dried fresh bamboo into the kiln to bake for seven days, and then simmer for seven days, and then naturally cool the kiln for seven days after calcination, only from the kiln to the kiln, it took more than 20 days.

But in his previous life, in the mountainous area where he lived as a child, there were many bamboo forests, and naturally there were charcoal kilns for burning charcoal. When he was a child, he used to watch the workers burn charcoal, and in his impression, it seemed that it only took ten days to burn a kiln of charcoal, and it definitely did not take more than 20 days. Inside and outside, the production efficiency is twice as bad, which is enough to kill people.

Chen Ke carefully recalled that the workers of later generations seemed to bake the bamboo for a few days, and then add fire to it, and soon the kiln was shut out to isolate the air. After two or three days, when the kiln is opened, you can get black bamboo charcoal.

When you think about it this way, it seems simpler than the traditional kiln firing method, but everything is easier said than done. The Qianjia charcoal farm burned according to Chen Ke's method, but it always couldn't burn the charcoal, wasting bamboo in vain. After failing several times, Qian Tanshang's eyes changed when he looked at Chen Ke, if it weren't for the fact that the sales were all pointing at him, it was estimated that he would directly let this kid stay cool.

In the end, it was Chen Xiliang who pointed out the maze. The Chen family is a charcoal burning family, although Xiao Liang mainly reads, but he is very familiar with the charcoal burning process. After listening to Chen Ke's description, after thinking about it, he said lightly: "The charcoal kiln is designed for simmering calcination, and if you want to turn off the fire in such a short time, you must increase the furnace temperature." Chen Sanlang paused.

Raise the furnace temperature, easy to do! He asked Carpenter Pan to order an oversized bellows and opened the air outlet for the charcoal kiln. Then find two strong workers, take turns to send air to the kiln, good guys, the heat wave in the whole kiln is very spectacular, and the bamboo directly burned into ashes.

But this is only a matter of heat, when the second furnace is burned, the air supply volume is reduced, and sure enough, I saw that the charcoal gradually formed in the flames.

"Seal the furnace!" With his order, the workers sealed the mouth of the kiln with mud.

After three days, when I came out of the kiln, it was pure physical work.

Seeing the charcoal burned out shining in the sun, Chen Ke and Qian Tanshang were relieved.

Qian Tan Shang picked up a piece of bamboo charcoal, carefully observed it for a long time, and nodded again and again: "It's different from the charcoal burned by the old method." ”

"What's different?"

"The color is brighter, the shape is more complete." Qian Tanshang said: "It looks much better." After a pause, he said, "And there seems to be a lot of charcoal." ”

Sure enough, after passing the scales, it was found that 1,000 catties of bamboo had 300 catties of charcoal, which was 100 catties more than the old method.

But these are all floating clouds, charcoal is used to burn, the burning effect is not good, everything is in vain.

The two of them anxiously filled a pot of charcoal and went back to the house to light it. Seeing the pure flames beating in the charcoal basin, there was not a trace of smoke in sight, but the two of them twitched their noses at the same time, and Qian Tanshang said with a look of ecstasy: "Do you smell it?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Ke nodded and said unexpectedly: "When this kind of charcoal is burned, it can actually exude a fragrance!" ”

"It's developed now!" Qian Tanshang grabbed Chen Ke's hand tightly and said, "San Lang, you are the Bodhisattva in the world!" ”

Chen Ke pulled out his hand and said with a smile: "Quickly give it a name." ”

"Of course you did." Now in the eyes of Qian Tanshang, Chen Ke is no longer a person, but a person who saves suffering and saves Guanyin.

"Well, since it burns fragrant and clear, it smells refreshing, just like a lotus." Chen Ke thought for a while and said, "Let's call it Lotus Charcoal." ”

In the winter of that year, all the restaurants in Qingshen County used lotus charcoal in the braziers for heating the guests. This kind of bamboo charcoal, which burns up and fills the room with a fragrance that makes people fall into a lotus pond, immediately aroused the strong interest of diners, and they asked where it came from.

In just three days, the lotus charcoal fired by the Qianjia charcoal farm was sold out. In the second year, it replaced the bamboo charcoal in Shiwan Village and became the top product in Qingshen County, and with the large amount of charcoal, it basically dominated the market of high-end bamboo charcoal. By this year, the dignitaries and nobles of Chengdu City have completely abandoned the bamboo charcoal in Shiwan Village and turned to this fragrant and pleasant lotus charcoal, otherwise they are embarrassed to let people come to their homes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone loves Chen Saburo because he can always open the door to wealth for people. And the statement about him that he would only help if he bought shares was quickly confirmed to be a rumor.

The carpenter Pan on Front Street proved that Chen Ke did not buy shares, but he still helped himself use a few years of hard work to become one of the top carpenters in Yizhou Road from a small carpenter in a county.

Another example is the contractor Boss Bi on the wharf, who was very distressed by the sharp increase in the throughput of the wharf, and heard about Chen Ke's name, so he went to ask for help with the mentality of giving it a try. As a result, according to his method, when loading and unloading goods, manpower was replaced with pulleys and levers, and the rest time was increased for the porters...... He used an hourglass to time and take a break every time he moved, and as a result, the throughput was tripled, which greatly relieved the pressure on the dock.

It is rumored that he seems to be born to know everything, and even the pig farmers in this county have learned a secret method from him, so that the pigs can have no desires and no desires, only know how to eat with stuffy heads, and they are only born with fat heads and big ears, which are hundreds of catties heavier than the original.

The key is that this kind of pork meat is fragrant when cooked, and there is no strange smell of ordinary pork after cooking, and even directly compared to mutton. Therefore, the pork of Qingshen Prefecture is also famous......

-----------------------------------------------Partition----------------------------------------

To explain, Chen Ke's method of burning charcoal is actually the dry distillation method, which was only available in the Southern Song Dynasty. The reason why the people of the Song Dynasty didn't like pork was because the pigs they raised had a smell of meat, while the pork they ate after the Song Dynasty did not have this smell.

Well, the flashback of Chen Ke's exploits in the past three years is over, and the next chapter will start to enter the plot. Ask for Sanjiang tickets, ask for recommendation votes, and if you go up one place on the recommendation list, you will add more.
