Text-only online reading of the domain name of Biquge
After seeing through Liu Er's undercover identity, he once asked the owner of the Lu family's old store to buy a cow belt.
Cow belts can be obtained, and there must be a way to find beef.
Early the next morning, Ding Yang went straight to the old store of the Lu family.
I think that after encountering Liu Er's ambush and being seriously injured and treated by Hongyu, he never came back.
Although there is still a lot of gold in the store, it must have been deceived by Liu Er. During that time, Liu Er's posture of advancing and retreating with him was seen by many people, and the old Lu family store was really deceived, and he had no way to complain about others, so he could only blame himself for not thinking it through.
It had been almost half a year since he came to the Lu family's old store again, but Ding Yang had just stopped the shopkeeper, and before he could speak, the other party had already called out first: "Hey, isn't this Ding Guanren?" ”
"Oh? I haven't seen you for a long time, but the little second brother still recognizes me? ”
This is really a surprise, at least it saves a lot of tongue introductions and can get straight to the point.
Not wanting that the bigger surprise was still to come, the shopkeeper asked him to wait a while and turn around to find the shopkeeper.
When he saw the shopkeeper's face, Ding Yang was quickly so surprised that his mouth grew: "Isn't it?" You mean that the suitcase I left in the store is still in it? ”
It originally contained nearly 100 guan of gold, but later spent a lot, and there was still at least 8o guan of gold left.
No matter where it is, it can be regarded as a huge amount of money, but he was not deceived by Liu Er? It's still in the store!
After inquiring carefully, Ding Yang finally understood the cause and effect.
It's not that Liu Er didn't come, but he didn't succeed in taking the money from the Lu family's old store after he came.
In those days, Liu Er did appear by Ding Yang's side every day, and he seemed to be very close, at least an acquaintance.
But Liu Er pretended to be Ding Yang's servant to withdraw money, but was rejected by the owner of the Lu family's old store. Especially Ding Yang's guest room, no matter what, he doesn't let others in.
Liu Er tried everything possible, but in the end he couldn't enter the guest room, let alone take out the gold that Ding Yang had hidden in the wooden box.
The owner of the old Lu family's shop did not return to Dingyang for a long time, and after the prepaid rooms arrived, he took the room and put his luggage in the attic. It wasn't until I saw me today that I exchanged with him as it was.
After receiving the luggage, Ding Yang opened the wooden box and quickly took out the package, and the dozen gold bars inside were dazzling.
The money is still there!
"This ...... This ......" Ding Yang was holding the gold, and he really didn't know what to say.
"Can the old customer's money be repaid?" The owner has a smile on his face.
Ding Yang had already lost the money, and now that he has lost it, the surprise can be imagined.
"The old store of the Lu family is really worthy of being a time-honored brand, and I only know what the old store is today."
"Hehe, that's nature. The signboard of my Lu family's old store is not mixed up casually, every penny is accumulated by the ancestors, how can it be smashed in Xiao Ke's hands. ”
It was a complete surprise to get this money, and Ding Yang said that he would take out half of it and share it with the shopkeeper.
But the shopkeeper said that he wouldn't accept anything: "If Xiao Ke was heavy on profit and light on righteousness, he would have hidden it all in his own pocket a long time ago, why wait for the officials to come back?" ”
All the guests present increased their quotas with their hands, and even praised: "The old store of the Lu family is worthy of its name!" ”
Even Ding Yang sighed with emotion, and saw the sunny side of the Song Dynasty again.
Here he has seen the ferocity of the roadblock, and also felt the brilliance of business integrity.
In the tide of capitalist commerce in later generations, I don't know how many businessmen have forgotten the word "integrity" and will do whatever it takes for profit. But I don't know what the ancestors of the Song Dynasty were doing thousands of years ago.
A businessman who can really last for a long time is definitely not to make money by deceiving or coaxing consumers.
With a good start, let's talk about beef procurement, and sure enough, it's much easier to talk about.
The old store of the Lu family does have corresponding channels, and you can buy a large amount of beef and beef bones. Ding Yang put forward the amount he wanted to buy, and also stated that he needed a long-term supply.
In fact, it is not as difficult to buy beef in Tokyo as you think, but it is not so easy to supply it for a long time.
Beef is strictly ordered by the government to be slaughtered privately, except for cattle that die of accident or illness, and only old cattle can apply to the government to be slaughtered after they cannot plow the field, or simply wait for the cow to die.
But the beef you get is very old, and you have to cook it to be good at it.
But this kind of beef is not always available, and no one can say when the cattle will be slaughtered.
After all, the preservation technology of the Song Dynasty did not refrigerate, and fresh beef could not be stored for too long, unless it was cooked or made into smoked meat.
Therefore, the long-term supply of beef is a huge problem, and even if there is a private slaughter of cultivated cattle, it is unlikely that they will be slaughtered often and then fresh beef will be obtained.
Even if they do not obey the laws and regulations of the government, the arable cattle are after all very important agricultural helpers in the era of agricultural economy.
In the countryside, the status of ploughing cattle is very high, and if there is really no way, no one will sell ploughing cattle lightly. That is basically tantamount to self-defeating, and normal farmers will never do it.
After asking Ding Yang about the amount he needed, the owner of the old Lu family promised to help think of a way.
It is not impossible to supply it for a long time, but it is also not possible to set a fixed date, and if there is fresh beef, let someone inform him.
After thinking about it, this may be the way to do it under the current conditions.
After a long busy trip, a large deposit was given to get the source of beef.
Anyway, the owner of the old Lu family store has a good reputation, and Ding Yang is not too worried that the other party will embezzle money and the like. simply pushed back half of the gold and pushed it back: "These are all kept as deposits, and I hope that the shopkeeper Lu will bother more." ”
In addition, he gave people a certain amount of intermediary fees, and Ding Yang was willing to pay this money.
The owner of the Lu family did not refuse, this is his fair and honest money, and it will not ruin the reputation of the old Lu family's shop.
Two days later, Shopkeeper Lu specially sent the man to the door, bringing the beef and beef bones that Ding Yang needed.
Seeing that the most critical ingredients had arrived, Ding Yang paid and asked An Fu to go out to buy radishes, coriander and local chicken. Of course, onions, ginger, garlic and the like are also indispensable to purchase.
As soon as he was ready, Ding Yang looked at the many ingredients in front of him, and suddenly became interested: "I'll start boiling the soup tonight, and tomorrow the old soup is stewed, I'll give you a taste of what is called Ding's beef ramen." ”
It's not so easy to make beef ramen, and the importance of soup can't be overstated.
Ding Yang spent the whole night boiling soup, stewing beef and beef bones, as well as local chicken. Not only did he add green onions, ginger and garlic to taste, but he also added many seasonings that he brought back from thousands of years later.
In particular, MSG, which is not available now, has increased the freshness of the soup many times.
That night, anyway, several women always gathered around the stove to watch Ding Yang's stewed soup, and smelled it by the way.
And Ding Yang taught a few people to pick radish hearts, then peel and slice them, and more importantly, mix noodles.
The noodles of beef ramen are very chewy, because the selection of flour is not only high-gluten flour, but also the addition of ramen agent. It was first added to the fluffy ash, but with the progress of the times, it was gradually phased out.
This time, Ding Yang specially brought over a professional ramen agent thousands of years later, which is definitely something fresh that has never been seen before in the Song Dynasty.
"Hey, don't talk about how your ramen tastes, just this bowl of soup smells delicious!"
Seeing that An Fu was a little tempted, Ding Yang was very proud: "Where is this?" The old soup of our Ding family, but it takes a long time to stew before it can be tasted. After overnight stay, you will see it tomorrow, and this soup will really taste good! ”
Pan Xiaomei looked greedy and didn't want to leave at all, so she begged her sister-in-law for help with her little eyes.
An Fu hurriedly said: "Can you not wait for tomorrow, and give Siniang a taste tonight?" ”
Hongyu next to him also began to help, but Ding Yang insisted: "This is the rule, you can't boil the pot when the soup is not flavorful." If you violate this rule, my dad won't beat me to death if he finds out! ”
Several women begged for permission one by one, but Ding Yang insisted unusually: "No, rules are rules, this example cannot be broken." If I can make an exception for this bowl of soup today, I may not be able to follow the rules for you in the future. ”
Pan Xiaomei was full of disappointment, but An Fu understood Ding Yang's persistence.
Hongyu naturally understood the truth, although she didn't want Pan Xiaomei to be disappointed, she no longer spoke to persuade her.
In the end, An Fu could only coax Pan Xiaomei to endure a little, and she would definitely drink the first bowl of soup tomorrow.
Because of Pan Xiaomei's disappointment, Ding Yang had to stay alone in the empty room at night - An Fu went to sleep with her sister-in-law.
wanted to sneak away to find Hongyu's company, but he was not opened at all: "Lang Jun, tonight is not a day, wait for Mrs. An to let you come over, will you come to find a slave again?" ”
Well, this Nizi has basically become An Fu's person now, and even he can't handle it.
In desperation, Ding Yang could only go back to his room to sleep by himself, and kept comforting himself: this also shows that his soup is very successful, and indicates that the beef ramen should be liked by everyone in the future.
Sure enough, as soon as he woke up the next day, he was pulled to see if the broth was ready to come out of the pot.
For the whole night, this pot of broth almost kept exuding fragrance, constantly challenging the bottom limit of several people.
The noodles were also good, and Ding Yang began to slip.
It's a lot of work, and it requires a certain amount of skill, and people who haven't done it have no idea how to do it.
An Fu, Hongyu and Pan Xiaomei all seemed to be watching the craftsmanship, and they were all fussing around the side.
watched Ding Yang repeatedly beat, pound, knead, and stretch a large ball of soft noodles, and only after a long time did he knead it into long strips and pull out the noodles one by one.
"Haha, you're done!"
Seeing Ding Yang's hot head sweating profusely, Hongyu hurriedly went up to help wipe it.
An Fu looked around the noodle festival and said strangely: "This is what you call beef ramen?" How do you eat this gnocchi? ”
"It's not done yet, it's just that all the processes are done. Next, I will dedicate the first bowl of beef ramen in Da Song to you to try! ”
