Chapter 52: Comparison (I)
It's washed away, but it's all a soup chicken, so you look at me, I look at you, and laugh together. This moment is very warm, and there is no longer the difference between the emperor's brother, the yaman and the ordinary students.
Song Jiu makes bread.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Last time, more than 20 Yanai ate well, but Song Jiu didn't have time, and then went to Hebei, and then developed black powder, he was so busy, a group of Yanai had nothing to do, looking for food and fun, there were ancient delicacies in ancient times, such as rice, there were two red rice, peach rice, demillet rice, black rice, Lingnan's panyou rice, with fried shrimp, roasted fish, chicken, goose, pig and mutton enema and other ingredients, and then with ginger, cinnamon, salt, soy sauce as seasoning, after burning on the rice ball, is it not very familiar, it is a rice bowl, but the color is not as much as that of later generations.
There are more types of porridge, and there are all kinds of noodles, wontons, soup cakes, steamed buns, dough cakes, crackers, sugar cakes, steamed cakes, Guanghan cakes, five-spice cakes, if you want to list and subdivide them one by one, you can divide hundreds of varieties. It is not as prosperous as the later generations, but it is far more than the various food spots in the Tang Dynasty.
A group of yamen went around to see if there were any similar fruits, from the main store to the restaurant, to various snack bars, including the small wine shop of the eldest sister's house, someone "spied" twice, but they didn't find it. Rare things are expensive, and besides, it is a delicacy in the first place, so it is spread more evilly.
Prepared, Fu Zhaoshou pulled the two doctors aside and said, "Dr. Yan, Dr. Zhang, please lend us some paper." ”
"Nope." The two doctors didn't think about it and immediately refused.
"It's borrowing, not begging, let's borrow one and pay back ten."
"What are you borrowing paper for?"
If you want to bring bread back, the sleeves of this shirt are wet, how do you stuff it in? Borrow paper to wrap bread and put it in your sleeve. Dr. Yan said, "No, what kind of system." ”
Murong Defeng finally woke up from the grief of losing his father, and today he also came to Hezhou with the Yanai brigade, and when he heard Dr. Yan's disagreement, he said: "Dr. Yan, it's really not good, let's borrow a piece of paper to compensate for twenty sheets, and you keep the account." ”
"Make up thirty."
Now if a piece of paper is not cut out, it is very large, enough to wrap a lot of bread, although thirty pieces of paper are a little expensive, for these Yanei, it is nothing, Murong Defeng said: "Okay." ”
Dr. Yan opened the small storeroom on the edge of the classroom and asked the Yanai to go in and get the paper, and then keep the accounts. The students did not object, but were happy, and even hoped that the more they would take, the better, and that they would be given more paper to write real calligraphy in the future.
Zhao Kuangyi couldn't stand it anymore, and even this square Dr. Yan seemed to have a tendency to be gradually taken away by Song Jiu.
He walked to the kitchen.
Song Jiuzheng is taking four painters, Zhu San, and three students who can cook some dishes, and Yuping and Cui'er are making bread. There are so many people, there is no way. Fortunately, when Song Jiu's father was there, there were a lot of servants in the family at one time, and the kitchen area was large, so Song Jiu made two extra-large baking pots in advance. Otherwise, this group of people may not be able to eat enough at midnight.
Zhao Kuangyi said: "Song Jiu, it is the study of physical qualities. ”
"The two kings, yes, many people think that it is a small way, a strange trick and a trick, the two kings, ask yourself, can this kind of knowledge be regarded as a trick and a trick?"
Zhao Kuangyi shook his head, he really can't be counted.
"The Master said that things have their beginnings and ends, and things have always been the same, and knowing the order of things is the shortest way. What is the first, the character of the object and then the knowing, the knowing and the sincerity, the sincerity and then the heart is right......"
"Song Jiu, don't misinterpret the words of the sage," Zhao Kuangyi cried and laughed: "Let me ask you, how much does it cost?" ”
Seeing its power, Zhao Kuangyi was overjoyed, and only now did he think of its cost, if it was extremely expensive, then it was not very practical.
"The two kings, the materials it uses are simple, nitrate, sulfur and charcoal powder, the original cost of a pound is less than five cents, but it has to go through a series of purification processes, as well as labor, as well as processing costs, purification costs and processing costs depend on the amount used, the larger the quantity, the lower the cost, the higher the efficiency, the more cost, otherwise the opposite. The cost of labor depends on how much the court pays the craftsman household, and this process is somewhat dangerous. ”
Zhao Kuangyi thought about the explosion scene and nodded.
"Remember, you can't bring a little spark in, and you can't bring any flammable materials into it, but the minister thinks that the salary of the craftsman who operates this work can't be too low, so its cost is estimated to fluctuate between fifteen and twenty-five wen per catty. The ministers could not predict what would happen, and the only ones who could predict it were the officials who made gunpowder. In addition, the amount of sulfur used is very small now, once the imperial court is widely prepared, the sulfur must be insufficient, and it is necessary to prepare a sea ship to go to Liuqiu Island in the East China Sea to buy sulfur, where it is everywhere, bring some cloth, silk, porcelain and pottery, you can exchange it for a boat. However, the high wind and waves at sea make it costly and dangerous, which will increase its cost. The minister planned to pay twenty dollars a catty. The wooden box just now contained eighty catties, nearly two dollars. However, the explosion is too large to be the norm, and if it is used for mining, the number should be smaller, otherwise it will cause a large-scale landslide. Take the wooden box just now, if used properly, its explosion volume can be equivalent to the amount of ore mined by three or four hundred pit households with primitive tools, and it may even exceed it. ”
This is easy to calculate.
In the Song Dynasty, ordinary people could have 100 to 200 wen a day, but later, even 100 wen could not survive, and now the prices are low, the wages are low, and the coolies in the river are tired for a day, but only 100 wen, and sometimes it is not enough. The customers in those pits are even more pitiful, with only fifty or sixty dollars a day. But it is also considerable, one person is fifty yuan, one hundred people is five thousand yuan, and three hundred people are ten thousand yuan. Significant cost savings. This is all secondary, the key is speed, with it, the entire mining speed has followed. Even the universal use of the whole country can increase the minerals of the Song Dynasty by three times, four times and five times in a year! And it can be mined in a large area, not as it is now, not mining, but digging tunnels, which are made into earthworms crawling in it, and ninety percent of the ore is wasted.
"Second king, that grave ......"
"Knowing the way, isn't what the official promised to come true? Boy, do you know how much headache this official will have next. ”
Jade Ping already knew something about the situation, and laughed heartily.
"You stupid girl, what are you laughing at, he even dares to calculate his own official and His Majesty, you will have a hard life in the future, quickly find another good family."
"Second king, the slave family didn't offend you."
Song Jiu diverted the topic and said: "Second king, you won't be wronged, now you just solve the problem of mining and steel, as well as iron and steel." ”
"Don't worry, this official will not be short of your iron and steel."
"No, the second king, the steel can't be used, it is estimated that the bridge will fall before it is built, I can't afford to use the steel, I mean that the iron-smelting technology and steel-smelting technology have to be improved, this is the headache after I went to Hebei to inspect."
"You also want to hand it over to the imperial court."
"The state has private iron smelting and steelmaking, but this is a new technology, how can the state allow private control, I have to pay if I develop it and don't hand it over. A man is to be content. ”
Zhao Kuangyi understood after thinking about it, don't listen to what Song Jiu said, you have to think about it, about his foreign teacher said some Western iron-smelting and steel-making techniques, of course, it comes down to it, and if you want to turn what you listen to into practice, you have to try it, and the reason why the bridge and the house can be made is that a lot of good steel is necessary. It is precisely because of this that Song Jiu is distressed, and he can't do it without research and development. Thinking of this, he finally laughed loudly. This bet is well played, otherwise how can it come to black powder, and good iron and steel in the future. With these three things, the eldest brother's bet is too worthwhile. However, looking at Song Jiu's sad face, it is estimated that it is difficult. This is good, this is good.
Jade Ping smiled when she saw him.
Zhao Kuangyi saw her for the second time, and felt that this girl was extremely gentle, patted Song Jiu on the shoulder and said, "No matter what you do in the future, you must be kind to the Jade Lady." ”
But he didn't think about one thing, Song Jiu said that iron is good and steel is good, and this time he didn't doubt it. There are gains and losses, and it is not good to dig people's ancestral graves, but think about three good things, dig them. Ran to the big locust tree, sat on the stone chair, and thought about how to dig people's ancestral graves, and had to find a suitable reason, otherwise it would be very troublesome.
The first pot of bread was made, the students were fine, and they didn't dare to grab it, these Yanai backgrounds were too strong, and they didn't care about it, so they wrapped it in paper while eating it and put it in their sleeves. Dr. Zhang was anxious: "You can't do this, pretend to be okay, let the students eat first." ”
may not be able to listen to it, but Zhao Kuangyi is sitting here, no less than a tiger. The second pot was distributed to the students, and Zhao Kuangyi took one to eat, and it tasted good. Now Song Jiu has added another ingredient, meat floss. Also, butter, jam, etc., there is no time, and there is no time, only to make meat floss. Fragrant and smooth, Zhao Kuangyi actually felt it when he ate it, and took the second one in his mouth and chewed it. No wonder this kid wants to open a store. No, this talent can't think about making a fortune, he has to force him to put his talent on the country, so Zhao Kuangyi thought about it while eating. Just thinking about it, the eunuch in the palace took the guards to find him, and Zhao Kuangyi explained the matter in a low voice and asked him to go back to the palace to report. The eunuch may not understand the complicated things, but this matter is relatively simple, and said: "This is the joy of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Well, when the imperial brother saw this name, he said, Song Jiu, Song Jiu, long, it's a good name." Zhao Kuangyi whispered, he couldn't let Song Jiu hear it, otherwise he would be very embarrassed. He also said: "These fruits are good, bring them to the imperial brother to taste." ”
After speaking, Zhao Kuangyi's expression was complicated, this Song Jiu was too bold, and he dared to love the eldest brother who wanted to eat a fruit, and he had to steal it by himself.
"Yes," the old eunuch hurried back to the palace to report the good news.
Song Jiu made it pot by pot inside, but when he made a pot and came out, it disappeared immediately. Seeing that the sun was setting, the middle seeds with more than one stone were almost roasted, and they were still flying away when they were brought outside. The last two pots can't disappear anymore, and some have to be left for their two sisters and children to eat. He ran out and asked, "How did you eat?" ”
One stone is more than one seed, which is equal to more than 100 catties of high-quality flour, 200 chickens, several catties of meat floss, and other ingredients and seasonings.
The students didn't dare to speak, and dozens of them snickered. Song Jiu glanced at their sleeves, and even found that Zhao Kuangyi's sleeves were full, Song Jiu pointed at them speechlessly and said, "Do you know how much it will sell for in the future?" ”
Zhu San asked, "How much?" ”
"The poor 500 yuan, the good consistent money."
Zhu Sanyi shuddered, how much did you eat this night? Dr. Yan said, "Song Jiu, you are too black-hearted. ”
are all pretending, even he is pretending, only a cadre of students is afraid, only a few have eaten, dare not carry.
"Dr. Yan, it's delicious, do you know how many ingredients it uses, and it also uses a lot of frosting."
There are five main kinds of sugar products in the Song Dynasty, the first is sugar water, which transports sugarcane and squeezes it into juice for sale, which has seasonal constraints, and sugarcane is produced in the south, and non-Song Jiu chooses sugar. There is also the sugar making technique brought by the Tang Dynasty from Tianzhu, stone honey, that is not good, and the other is granulated sugar, that is, brown sugar, because the sugarcane production area is Wuyue, the other is Houshu, the estrangement between countries, the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty is not so developed, and the good granulated sugar is difficult to see, and the inferior granulated sugar will lose the taste of the bread, and it is okay to make do, but it will make the bread grade down, and Song Jiu is useless. There is also a snack, one for a penny, caramel sugar, that is, maltose, which is obviously even more unusable. The last is frosting, not white sugar, but a backward rock sugar, with a complex production process and low yield. But there is an advantage, you can distinguish the quality from the color, but the good frosting is too expensive, and a piece of high-grade purple frosting weighing a few catties can be sold for a few dollars. A pound of frosting can buy Lu Mengzheng's one-square-meter mansion!
If it's all fine frosting, it's worth the price, but the question is how much frosting can you use?
Whether it is expensive or not, no one pays attention to him, makes a contemptuous look at him, and then goes back with a smile.
……
Everyone who comes has a harvest, and the more people there are, the greater the harvest.
The person who gained the most went to the palace, Song Jiu didn't mention the technique to keep secret, Zhao Kuangyi also thought of it, no wonder the new house was so strange. But the problem is that it will eventually be civilian, what to do, Song Jiu didn't think about it, but the brothers wanted to think about it.
The rest of the harvest was a whole bunch of bread.
Three people came to the Pan family, and the harvest was not small, and they returned home in a hurry, and Mrs. Tian said angrily: "You brothers went out to fight, and they still took Weizheng to learn well." ”
Weide was so anxious that he stuffed bread into his mother's mouth.
The son can bring food back, and filial piety is also there, Tian ate bread and said, "This fruit tastes good, where did you buy it?" ”
The three brothers are all speechless, if you can buy it more expensive, buy it, even if you buy a few less, Guan Jian is that it is impossible for Song Jiu to sell it now, he said the price, most of it is to scare everyone. Just by virtue of him doing that thing, the future is bright, and he will live by selling bread? didn't dare to answer, and his mother was most opposed to them being wrapped up with Song Jiu.
The three brothers sang in unison, dropped their bread and fled the living room. Out of the living room, Pan Li'er blocked them again and asked, "What happened to that monkey?" ”
The three brothers were speechless together, hunting first, then gunpowder, and then returning to Song Jiu's house to wait for bread, that monkey had already been thrown to Java Island.
