Chapter 153: Shochu Party (Part II)
Song Jiu said: "In fact, there are many ways, but for the time being, Hezhou has not been fully developed, and there are relatively fewer tourists. ”
"It's a lot, but it's so long, it's obviously unrealistic to open all teahouses and restaurants."
"Zhao Dalang, it's not easy to say, for example, if I take Hezhou, Your Majesty thinks I'm whimsical, maybe Your Majesty will regret it in a few years. But you don't joke, when the time comes, I will increase the weight, and Your Majesty will have to watch me get rich. You are different, both sides are people's land, your father is the prime minister, this is more careful, a few years later, there are more tourists, the price of land skyrockets, do you dare to forcibly buy back the land from the hands of the people? Pan Dalang, Fu Erlang, aren't you? ”
"That's it, that's it," the few yamen nodded together.
This is under the feet of the Son of Heaven, not in Qinzhou.
Song Jiu continued: "Actually, there is still a way, the wharf is the imperial court's, and the imperial court's work efficiency will be very low, if you open a few grooves in Hebei and build a few docks?" This is a civil wharf, with high efficiency, there will be ships to unload in the past, ships to unload, and good roads, will some shops be built, will some workshops be built? So as Hezhou becomes more and more popular, Hebei will play an auxiliary role, and the money will not be less. ”
Zhao Yi'an walked around.
Song Jiu said that he could not object to a few thousand yuan per mu of land, but in fact, the land price is indeed cheap, only more than three yuan per square meter, which is equivalent to the purchasing power of two thousand yuan, can it be considered expensive? Such a planned construction, if the Southern Tang Dynasty recovers in the future, Hezhou's piece of one square meter of three hundred yuan is not expensive!
Zhao Yi'an still can't get around this bend, but he can know one thing, that is, the land price in Hebei will not be tens of acres in the future. If you compare it with the river island, I don't know how far the road has risen. Anyway, he has money in his family. It may be a little less than the money in Wang Quanbin's hand, but it will not be much less. Not really. You can also buy it and leave it wherever you want. After thinking for a while, he said, "Jiulang, you have to think of a way for me in the future." ”
"No, I've already thought about too many ideas for you, I can't think about it anymore, your father is the prime minister, I want to avoid it."
"Jiulang, I didn't use my father to suppress you."
"You don't understand, when you go home, ask your father a word, Song Jiu and Peach Blossom."
"What peach blossom?"
"The emperor hopes that the peach blossom will bloom in the palace. Open only to the emperor alone. Song Jiu said vaguely.
"No wonder you ate the second king's twenty feats......" several Yanai understood together.
"Don't mention it, the second king was really beaten that day, and the scar on my ass hasn't been cleared yet."
Zhao Yi'an arched his hand and said: "But I still thank Jiulang, I will definitely go to Rendian to invite you next time." ”
"No, last time I said I was going to invite me, but it turned out that I invited you. If so, you must do it twice. ”
After talking for a while, Lu Duan came over with a few scribes, and Song Jiu asked curiously, "Lu Zhixian." What are you doing here? ”
"You have such a large group of people gathering, and the official doesn't know what to do, can you rest assured?"
"That is, to have a meal with everyone, and then talk about the things on the river island. Lu Zhixian, don't worry. But you're here, so you'll eat here for a while. Today I will bring out a good wine for everyone. ”
"What good wine?"
"Soju, also known as knife wine. It is a drink that is exclusively for men. ”
"Where's the wine?"
"Wait a minute, I promise you'll never forget."
Lu Duan pondered. Anyway, there is nothing important in Kaifeng County, and he has heard from some channels that Song Jiu has said a lot of good things about his eldest brother, and now Song Jiu has a falling out with the second king, and he comes to praise him, which can be regarded as a return, so he also stayed.
Pan Weigu asked: "Song Jiu, you offer favor to Zhao Dalang, do you want to fall to Zhao Xianggong?" ”
"Erlang, you are thinking nonsense, if I fall to Zhao Xianggong, Your Majesty will not like it either. It's for the sake of Hezhou, and now we're only concerned with spending money, and others might even be counting on the jokes. But this is very fast, and last year was the result of the disaster, and the speed was fast, and it will be completed in August at most, and maybe it will be over in mid-July. You'll be able to see the benefits then, but there will be a lot of people who are red-eyed by then. However, just this income, put on one hundred or dozens of us, that one income will be very expensive, especially if you and Da Lang have invested a few thousand yuan, maybe the annual dividend will reach four or five thousand yuan in the future. This is every year, how much is the salary of a Zhizhou in a year? And it is not like other money that comes from the wrong way, or robs from the people, or is greedy, or illegal business, and it is beneficial to the country and itself. But the benefits are only a hundred or dozens of us, more than ninety. How many yamen are there in the capital, and how many nobles are there? ”
"I understand, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together."
"That's right, I'm the only one who hurts my spirits, you eat, drink and play, the money comes, your father marches and fights, and he is greedy and greedy, how much can he have in a year."
"You talk nonsense, my father is a good general."
"Erlang, is it true that your father is cleaner than snow? As long as you take less and take it reasonably, it's good. For example, General Cao Bin. How many people can have my mind, wisdom, learning, conscience, and conscientiousness......"
"Jiulang, you're so stinky." Pan Weizheng said without knowing where the road came from.
"Little San, you don't understand, this is called Wang Po selling melons, selling herself and boasting, and boasting about good melons can only be sold."
"What did you just say to my sister?"
Song Jiu glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Erlang, junior, I told your sister that she has been busy for a few days, and I will send someone to propose marriage." ”
"Scared!"
"Where can I find a handsome brother-in-law like me?"
"Stinky beauty," Pan Weizheng slipped away and went to trouble Pan Li'er.
Pan Weigu looked at Song Jiu left and right, and then said: "No, you are not as handsome as Zhang Jialang, and you are not as decent as Zhang Jialang, no wonder my mother has always complained about you." ”
"No, it won't."
"Yes, if you mention your relatives early, otherwise it will be too late for you to regret it," in fact, Pan Weigu said in his heart, the conscience of heaven and earth, this kid finally knows how to propose marriage.
The preparations are almost the same, but there are two things to say, the first thing is to show the account books to the deeds, not to these yamen. It is the view of several stewards. Brothers, settle accounts. Eating and drinking do not care, buying and selling. The accounts must be clarified, otherwise there will be contradictions.
The second thing is the vegetable greenhouse, there are a lot of ideas to fight it, Song Jiu said slowly: "I only say two problems, the first problem is the cost, there is a three fertile soil, I handed it all over to the imperial court, it seems that the imperial court is going to set up a supervisor to operate, and even in the future, I will be related to the technology." As well as the measurement of the application rate of various vegetables and flowers, it will be announced to the public. This cost has nothing to do with me, and there is also a labor cost, which has nothing to do with me. The last is the cost of glass, and the large-scale production test will be carried out immediately, but the cost will still be very high in the first year. I don't make a lot of money on this, and I charge a cost fee and a research fee. However, the technology is still being studied, and the temporary cost cannot be reduced sharply, and the price has fallen in the future. You can't blame me for being black-hearted. It can only be said that although the cost of glass is high, it is not used for a year, and it will be used in the next year. Even protect it well from breaking it. It can be used for ten or eight years. ”
There is no objection to this.
In fact, the cost of this glass has made Song Jiu scared, and it was changed two years ago. I can't think of a piece of glass at all, and it's still so beautiful that the glass is only worth a few dollars.
"Another small problem, last time I went to Hunan, I was lucky enough to get Han Xizai to give me two gems that can cut glass, but it is still not enough, you pay attention to it for me. The second problem is profitability, I can send people to guide the technology, but the manpower is limited, and I don't want to have too much this year, so as not to produce on a large scale and reduce profits. This area is 400 acres, and everyone calculates it for themselves and distributes it to each other. I am only responsible for sending people to guide the four hundred acres of vegetables, and I will not agree to any more, and I will not provide its glaze. ”
So many vegetables of 400 acres in the yamen are obviously too few, and everyone whispers together. Song Jiu no longer cared, it was up to them to decide. This year, Song Jiu still wants to make some money, if there are thousands of acres, it will be flooded at that time, and it can be sold at the price of ordinary vegetables.
Then he clapped his hands and said: "The cocktail party began, I have been teaching students for more than two years, and I seem to have fallen in love with this profession." ”
We were amused by him together.
Song Jiu said again: "But today I am not teaching you arithmetic and character accounting, but teaching you how to make this new type of barbecue." ”
This is a meat slice roast, which is different from the previous roasting method, and Song Jiu began to teach everyone how to smear fine salt, as well as the seasoning he prepared well. It's a pity that there is still a lack of chili peppers, although they are replaced by other spicy products, they are not beautiful.
Song Jiuyi showed it one by one, and then said: "I invited a few cooks to come over, if you don't understand, you can ask them for advice, but today you do it yourself, this is called the joy of doing it yourself." ”
Everyone is happy again.
The students are a little better, and there are really few people in these yamen who have cooked themselves.
It doesn't matter how many jokes can be made later, Song Jiu said the last thing, and said: "Let's divide it first, all the ladies and sons and daughters under the age of fifteen go to the south, and I will immediately distribute some drinks to everyone, a drink that everyone has never tasted." ”
This made everyone think of bread, and after a while, the woman and some underage teenagers crowded to the south side, and Song Jiu said: "As for the north side, all are adult men, and I will take out a new wine today, called soju, also called knife wine, which is really a strong drink for men." ”
Then with a wave of his hand, Li Zhu and the others took out the drink, that is, the kind of fruit enzyme, and Song Jiu added some sugar and honey to it, the taste was sweet and sour and very delicious, and it was even better than some fruit juice drinks in later generations.
The main store is not only a novelty dish, and it is easy to spread out, there must be some signature things, such as spirits, I don't know if there is a distilled liquor in Lu Dao at this time, but Song Jiu has not found it in the capital, and I am afraid that the degree is also very low. There are also some drinks and fruits, and even some new drinks and fruits will be researched in the future. This is the only way to keep the guests.
But this new type of distilled liquor has never existed, the high degree of alcohol in the Song Dynasty will not exceed more than ten degrees, and it suddenly becomes about fifty degrees, Song Jiu is afraid that people will not be able to accept it, and there are just some things to say in front of everyone, so there is this soju party.
Whether you can accept it or not, you will know immediately.
Song Jiu asked people to bring more than a dozen jars of soju to test the products of the laboratory, which have not yet been mass-produced, but this recipe will not be handed over to the imperial court, that is, the imperial court will need it in the future, and at most it will be sold to the imperial court at a discount by buying and buying, otherwise it will affect the business of the main store.
The wine jar is unopened, but the thick aroma of wine comes to the face.
Smelling the aroma of this wine, many good wine people almost drooled, Song Jiu said: "Everyone has a party today, I am very happy, but before the banquet starts, I will take everyone to play a small game, that is, whoever can drink two catties of this soju without getting drunk, I will reward a stone of cucumber." ”
"Really?" A group of Yanai people were excited, saying that it was a bit difficult to drink more than a dozen catties of wine, but it was not a problem to drink five or six catties of wine in ordinary times. What kind of soju is it, is two catties still a problem?
Song Jiu said: "In order to avoid you from making a fool of yourself, I declare that you can drink more than ten catties of wine before you can come over." ”
But who believes? At once, there were more than 60 people, but most of them were people who drank well. Lu Duan smelled the aroma of wine and didn't leave, Song Jiu asked, "Lu Zhixian, you also want to taste it." ”
Lu Duan was also disdainful, wasn't it just two catties of wine?
Song Jiu asked people to bring bowls, and one person brought a bowl, and said with a smile: "This wine is very expensive, really expensive, at least everyone can't waste it, the first bowl must be drunk in one gulp." ”
This bowl is not very big, and it can hold five or six taels of wine. But it's not difficult, think about the wine of the Song Dynasty, even a large bowl of one catty can be dried in one gulp, and a medium bowl of half a catty.
Song Jiu said again: "This is a strong drink for men, you guys have come up, so many ladies are watching, don't lose the face of our men, you must drink it dry." ”
Lu Duan finally said disdainfully: "Song Jiu, you just pour, don't be wordy." ”
Han Qingxiong also said: "Yes, Jiulang is going to fall quickly, don't be a mother-in-law anymore." ”
The aroma of this wine is so strong that if it weren't for the big guys watching together, he would have grabbed a jar to drink.
Song Jiu rubbed his hands, a rare big scene, even Lu Duan inadvertently came to the trick, and said: "Don't worry, I'll pour it first, everyone will drink one, two, three, and those who don't pour four bowls will be rewarded with a stone of cucumber." ”
Pan Weide was anxious and said, "Xiao Jiu, the cucumber in your field is about to go off the market, are there so many cucumbers?" ”
"Don't worry," Song Jiu patted open the lid of the altar, and then asked the students to separate everyone, with the smell of wine, more and more Yanai wanted to squeeze inside, and he couldn't pour so many people down together. began to pour wine, the fragrance became more and more intense, Lu Duan smelled the wine and said, "Good wine." ”
More than 20 people squeezed in, Song Jiu looked at these more than 90 people, and said: "Remember, everyone is a man, not a man, don't drink it dry in one gulp, if it is a man, you must drink it dry in one go." ”
Pan Weide said: "Isn't it wine? ”
"Absolute wine, it won't be poison, and I don't dare to give you poison."
"And you're so horrible?"
"It's not horror, it's fierce."
Of course, everyone didn't know the meaning of the word Lu Dao, and they all disdained it, Song Jiu said: "Everyone is ready to start, one, two, three, drink." (To be continued......)
