Chapter 39 Tianjiazhuang
After Qin Yu left the Qin Mansion, he walked around Chang'an for a while, and then returned to Qingfeng Ju with large bags and small bags, in fact, they were all condiments, big ingredients or something, they were still used as medicinal materials in the Tang Dynasty, and they had not been used for cooking, Qin Yu bought them back, purely for cooking.
Of course, Qin Yu not only bought such a few things, but also bought a lot of soybeans and walnuts, these things are too much, they need to be sent by merchants, and Qin Yu can't take them back.
Soybean walnuts are used by Qin Yu to squeeze oil, after all, rapeseed oil has a lot of pungent smell, and Qin Yu doesn't like animal oil, so if you want to eat haode, you have to do it yourself.
Don't think about peanut oil and sunflower oil, which are still in their origins, waiting to be discovered.
Corn oil is possible, but this has to wait for corn to survive in Datang, otherwise it will be no fun, even if corn takes root and sprouts in Datang, if you want to make corn oil, you have to wait for two or three years, otherwise the quantity is not enough.
Back in Qingfeng Ju, after Qin Yu told the big cow about the method of oil extraction, he didn't care, it wasn't that difficult, although the big cow was simple, it was not like a stone, and his head was missing a string.
Landlord, that's it, what to leave to the people below to do, how can you do everything yourself, then how can it be done.
The wine-making utensils have been almost done, they will be assembled in the evening, and they will be able to officially start brewing tomorrow, Qin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, as long as he started brewing, the silver would definitely be rolling in, and he could rest assured that he would buy ginseng for Qin Qiong to condition his body.
The ginseng in Chang'an is really not ordinarily expensive, but compared to the modern era, the price is the same as that picked up for nothing, of course, the prices of the two eras are not the same, relatively speaking, there is one thing in common, silly expensive.
To live a life, you have to have food, clothing, shelter and transportation, Qin Yu doesn't have to think about this clothes for the time being, it's not good after all, he lives in a Qingfeng residence, and he has a carriage, and he can be called a decent person in the Tang Dynasty.
Only this is eaten, many dishes have to use pork, but this pork is too sassy, Qin Yu can't stand it, after returning to Qingfeng Ju, Qin Yu distilled a jar of alcohol with the wine brought by Cheng Huailiang, and then went to Tianjiazhuang with the stone.
There are a lot of pigs in this village, of course, this is what Qin Yu asked when he was shopping in Chang'an, otherwise Qin Yu wouldn't know.
Qin Yu's purpose in coming here is very simple, that is, to teach the people of this village to castrate pigs, this pig does not taste good if it is not castrated, and by the way, see if this village is willing to raise pigs for Qingfengju.
Good haode Qingfeng Ju, if you raise a pig, even if you are far away from Qingfeng Ju, it is equivalent to getting a poison gas bomb there, as long as the wind blows, don't think about it, you will be more aggrieved.
Tianjiazhuang is close to the Qinling Mountains, in the southeast of Qingfengju, about twelve miles away, the road is not too easy to walk, barely allowing the carriage to pass, so that when Qin Yu arrived at Tianjiazhuang, he was choked enough.
As soon as Qin Yu's carriage arrived at Tianjiazhuang, the village here greeted him with a smile, but it was the village that happened to come out for a stroll and saw Qin Yu's carriage.
Although the size of the village is also an official, this official is really worthless in Chang'an, and any person from a powerful family can show off his might in front of them, not to mention that Qin Yu's carriage is not something that ordinary people can have, so naturally they have to be careful in every way.
Qin Yu got out of the car, and Murazheng's eyes lit up, "What a personable young man." Then he stepped forward and said, "The old man is here in the village, and he has seen the son." ”。
"Muramasa?" Qin Yu was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Qin has seen Muramasa, and I am disturbed a lot, I hope you will forgive me." ”。
"Where, where, what is the so-called matter of Childe? Can decay help one or two? Seeing that Qin Yu was polite and kind, the previous worries fell to the ground slightly, and he hurriedly asked.
Qin Yu smiled and said, "Being able to get the help of the village will save a lot of trouble, Qin has thanked the village here." After speaking, Qin Yu bowed and continued.
"Qin came this time, in fact, I heard that Tianjiazhuang has a lot of pigs, so I came to buy one or two, by the way, I will discuss Tianjiazhuang for me Qingfengju pig raising, I don't know if the village can recommend it?".
After hearing Qin Yu's words, Mura Zheng was stunned, whether it was buying pigs or discussing pig raising, he only needed to send someone over, but Qin Yu came over in person, and the nobles didn't like to eat pork, but Qin Yu wanted to buy it, which naturally made him puzzled.
Seeing this, Qin Yu sighed secretly, "Sure enough, some things still have to be handed over to the people below to do, so as not to make people feel different." ”。
Qin Yu smiled, and then said, "This pig looks dirty and smelly, but it is not like this, if it is handled properly, it is rare and delicious, Qin has another thing here, but it is castration of the pig, well, it is castration, and others don't know the skills, so Qin must come in person." ”。
Muramasa listened in a daze, Qin Yu's reason for eating pork could barely pass, people, who doesn't have a hobby, Muramasa felt that Qin Yu had a quirk of eating pork, but he didn't understand castration for pigs, what kind of posture did he have, and then asked suspiciously, "Castration?" What is the use of castration of this pig? ”。
"If the pig is not castrated, the pork will smell bad, so it needs to be castrated to get rid of its smell." Qin Yu patiently explained.
The smell of pork, the village naturally knows, as soon as Qin Yu said it, he suddenly realized that if the smell of pork is removed, the pork will definitely become delicious, nodded and said, "I see, Qin Gongzi, go to the cold house to rest for a while, and the old man will go to gather the villagers." ”。
"In this case, it will be troublesome to Muramasa." Qin Yu smiled, and then followed Mura Zheng towards his house.
The village is arranging Qin Yu to sit down at his house, and then sends someone to gather the villagers, getting rid of the smell of pork is a big deal, whether Qin Yu buys a pig or not, the village is trying to learn this jishu, the pig without the smell of the smell will definitely be easy to sell, and the price will be a lot higher.
After Qin Yu came out, he saw that the villagers were surprised one by one, and he didn't believe it, smiled, and said, "Qin has seen all the villagers. After speaking, he bowed.
Many people are not to blame, Qin Yu's behavior ushered in the favor of the villagers of Tianjiazhuang, and everyone shouted, "I've seen Gongzi Qin." ”。
Qin Yu nodded, and then said, "Presumably, the villagers all know that Qin came to buy pigs, and this is indeed the case, but Qin also wants to discuss with the villagers, and in the future, he will raise pigs specifically for Qin, of course, not for free." ”。
"Pig food is provided by Qin, and Qin will give a certain amount of money according to the number of pigs every month, and a pig, every month, Qin will give the villagers thirty yuan for their hard work."
"Wow." The villagers of Tianjiazhuang, you look at me, I look at you, and after a while, there was a sudden uproar, and Qin Yu's words gave them a bit of a big stimulus.
It takes half a year for a pig to grow up from birth, although the pig eats wild vegetables, easy to feed, but how can there be so many wild vegetables for the pig to eat, so most of the time, the pig needs to be fed some bran, the bran is not enough to feed the grain, to grow up and sell, full of more than a hundred words.
The price offered by Qin Yu is equivalent to making the villagers of Tianjiazhuang earn an extra eighty yuan, and they don't have to worry about not being able to sell it, how can the villagers of Tianjiazhuang not be shocked.
"Is what Qin Gongzi said true?" One of the villagers shouted.
"Of course, Qin can make a contract with you, in black and white, no one can fool anyone, I don't know what you folks think?" Qin Yu said with a smile.
The villagers look at me, I look at you, and after a while, they shout, "I'll wait." ”。
Easy to make money, and don't have to worry about pigs not being sold, how could the villagers of Tianjiazhuang not agree.
The contract was written by Qin Yu, and the villagers of Tianjiazhuang signed one by one, zuihou Qin Yu asked each family to report the number of pigs, and bought all the pigs on the spot, a total of 32 yuan and 120 wen.
Qin Yu was bought at the market price, a head of 100 Wen, no matter how big or small, Qin Yu paid according to the price of the big pig, and this time, it ushered in the favor of the villagers.
Seeing this, the village was cautious before, and he smiled from time to time, the life of the villagers is good, and the taxes are easy to collect, so his village is just and stable.
The castration knife has to be specially made, the kitchen knife is not good, not to mention, it is not easy to operate, it must be disinfected before castration, and it must be disinfected after the operation, and alcohol comes in handy at this moment.
When Qin Yu distilled the liquor, Cheng Huailiang and Cheng Huaimo, who smelled the liquor, wanted to come over to drink, but unfortunately, the stone was at the door, and no one could enter the kitchen, so they could only look at it and drool.
There was a blacksmith in Tianjiazhuang, and the castration knife was quickly created, and Qin Yu explained to the three butchers in Tianjiazhuang how to cut the knife and where to cut.
Every craft is a success, and the butcher kills a dozen or so pigs, and then he masters the castration jishu.
In this process, many people pinched their sweat, for fear that Qin Yu would not want those dead pigs, or ask them to accompany them, fortunately, Qin Yu was very calm, not displeased at all, and sent the dead pigs to Tianjiazhuang, in fact, it was useless for Qin Yu to come, the pork of these dozen or so dead pigs was as sassy.
Boars and sows have to be castrated, and the castrated pigs have a docile temperament, easy to manage, and good meat quality, which is what Qin Yu told the villagers, and Qin Yu also told the villagers that the pigs should be castrated in the future, especially when they have not grown up.
Of course, you can't castrate all the pigs, leaving the breeding pigs, and you have to keep some sows with cubs, otherwise you won't kill chickens and take eggs.
Seeing that the butchers had mastered this jishu, Qin Yu promised on the spot that he would give two cents for each pig castrated, but where were the butchers willing to ask for it, this was a craft, and they still learned it from Qin Yu, so they were naturally reluctant to ask for Qin Yu's money.
Seeing that the butchers insisted, Qin Yu smiled and said the purpose of alcohol, in the future, castrated pigs must be disinfected with alcohol to reduce inflammation, no alcohol is not good, the pig castration has to die five or six heads, so this money must be collected, and finally the butchers accepted Qin Yu's money.
The alcohol naturally comes from Qingfeng Ju, and Qin Yu doesn't give it to them for free, it needs to be bought with money, fair trade, and Tong Su is not bullied, of course, this Qin Yu will not say it, otherwise he will be laughed at.
Qin Yu looked at it for a while, and saw that the butchers' techniques were becoming more and more skilled, so he immediately left the alcohol, which was regarded as a free gift, and then took the two suckling pigs and left Tianjiazhuang under the strange and admiring eyes of the villagers.
