Although the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, it was difficult to hide the relatively low productivity and lack of production means behind the outstanding cultural and martial arts.

Food culture reflects the prosperity of the economy and agriculture and animal husbandry of an era from the side, although it is a little decadent and corrupt, but there is also a little bit of truth. The larger the territory, the more wars it will follow, and the more military-biased the policy becomes. It is a good thing to have more soldiers and generals, but relatively consuming a large amount of money and materials, and reducing the production schedule of light and strong laborers too much, it is inevitable that life will be more difficult, and the food will be tighter, and the vast majority of people will be full of food and clothing as the pursuit, as for whether the food is delicious, whether the selection of materials is fine, and whether the heat is suitable are not in the scope of consideration, and the principle of not going hungry is not to be hungry.

I have been here for more than a year, and I have made many rich and noble families, and from time to time I have attended large-scale and high-end banquets, and the so-called good dishes and famous dishes of this era have been tasted almost one by one, and I am not disappointed, but I am not satisfied after all. Even the banquet with a royal atmosphere hosted by Lanling is the same, although the materials are of the highest quality, but the workmanship is ...... Don't mention it, even the taste of the dishes in the general restaurants in later generations is not as good. Lanling told me personally that after eating at my house for a long time, she couldn't lift her chopsticks when she saw her own food, and strongly asked the chef in my house to go to her side to cook for her.

Because I got into friendship with the old generals a while ago, all the old guys who participated in the test explosion of the Ministry of Industry and the sand table deduction of the Cheng family did not let go of any of them, and each family gave 10 eggs. Steward Qian volunteered to take this errand, never allowed others to do it for him, and delivered it door to door non-stop.

In the 21st century, this thing belongs to the public food, and it may not be everyone's taste, and some people don't eat it even if they are killed, and I am one of them. Considering this factor, when giving gifts to friends from various high schools, there is also a sentence: Xihan is Xihan. The appearance is also good, but it may not be suitable for the taste, so it is just a platter.

But the information feedback on customer satisfaction is really a big surprise, especially the old man Cheng and the old guy who beat and captured me alive, just begging from the Wang family to leave the egg is enough for the chicken to leap forward for a while, people are not in vain, every time they send someone to take some small gifts. Although the value is much higher than that of eggs, the number of eggs is limited. It's a bit of a struggle to deal with both of them. Misstep, too misstepped, if I knew this situation, I had to solve the source of fresh eggs before sending them, if I want to go on like this, I won't even have to eat my own family.

Ying hesitated on the issue of whether the new technology for raising chickens would be made public, and she did not say anything when the fourth child raised it. just praised the fourth child for a few words, and then there was no follow-up. Now that the egg is in trouble, I have to put forward this resolution again, and I must personally negotiate with Ying, the housekeeper.

"There's no time for you to think about it, and then you don't decide. As far as our chickens are concerned, they can't keep up with the speed at which people eat the land. "The batch of eggs kept fresh with lime water have already been in the belly of the two old handsome, and now they are maintained by purchasing eggs, and the eggs that can be purchased from the village are not as big as those produced at home. The color of the egg yolk is not bright, and the quality of the eggs is unstable, maybe I haven't completely mastered this craft, and I always feel that a good altar is worse than a jar, anyway, there are various factors.

"I'm hesitating, and I can't make up my mind." Ying still didn't have a plan, and said with a bitter face: "The way that the husband has worked hard to think of, let outsiders have to ......"

"Push it away. Don't say I've worked hard to figure it out. Let's start with which one makes money? Ying is on the tip of the horns, I understand her thoughts, "Both of them are what I think, let's keep the one that is the most profitable and safest, and let others get a benefit in the rest, and I can also get a good reputation in the future, right?" ”

"The husband just wants to open the ground, and the concubine feels uncomfortable. It's not a money, a good husband who marries a concubine. Why should outsiders benefit? Ying moved her fingers. The husband took the idea and only gave it away by himself. The concubine doesn't open this mouth. ”

"Okay, then do it. The recipe for raising chickens was made public, and it was first implemented in his own Zhuangzi. He took Ying's little hand and patted it, and said with a smile: "You're just waiting for me to ask you, right?" Push me early, you are the keeper of the family, there is no need to be sorry for anyone in the future, as long as it is good for the family, just decide. ”

"That's how I put it," Ying frowned when she saw that I was in charge, and said with a smile: "As an inner room, there is no reason to take your husband's things and give them away after all." Kicked his shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang, "The Zhuangzi at home is unreliable, and the family is limited, so we have to plan for the long term." ”

"Let's talk about it, the lady is the most ingenious in the family, and she has all planned it, right?" Ying is from a merchant family, has a lot of knowledge and knowledge, and is not comparable to ordinary big girls in this field.

"Promoting it on our own Zhuangzi is the beginning, and our family should come forward to guarantee that the farmers who are willing to raise chickens can feel at ease." Ying pulled over the kang table, and Runrun brush began to write while talking, "The first one must protect the reputation of the Chen family's eggs, the taste cannot change, today it is salty and tomorrow it is light, and the signboard is smashed, and the husband has to get the most suitable recipe out, this one is the most important." In the future, even if the practice is leaked, as long as the thief can't get the formula, he will never be able to make the taste of our home, and he will have no confidence in robbing business, which is a long-term solution. Second, our farmers must take care of it, and all those who raise chickens according to our methods must have a written guarantee. Once there is a plague or there are more chicken farmers in the future, when the eggs cannot be sold at a price, they must come forward to make up for it. This point was made by the Chen family, and let the fourth and second daughters discuss a good statement in advance, so as not to let the ill-intentioned people take advantage of the loopholes. The third is to ensure that the eggs we collect must have a scale, the quality and size must be appropriate, and the eggs must be collected according to our methods. In the future, once the chickens in the village make money, the farmers in other villages will inevitably follow the trend, and there will be many messy eggs, and it will not be possible to care about it. The same quality, first tighten the harvest of their own households, this is the foundation, can not be shaken. Ying said slowly, writing clearly word by word, "Besides, the price of this egg should be set appropriately, it is expensive, our family has no income, and the cheap farmers are unwilling to raise." And what's more...... What else? Don't just listen to it, husband, you can talk about it too. ”

"What else to say, I'll finish talking about it." Smiled and browsed the terms written by Ying, I am really blessed, this wife is worth marrying, except for lying on the kang and waiting for death, there is no place to worry. Even the words are written beautifully, "You will be the 'head of the Chen family's egg-changing march' from now on, with the second daughter and the fourth child to help you." I can't get involved in this arrangement. ”

"Hehe......" Ying smiled beautifully, "Don't talk nonsense, husband, it's really the manager who offends people when it goes out." As soon as this recipe went out, there were many people who benefited, and maybe it was the outsiders in Zhuang who got the benefits first. ”

"Outside the village? How do you say that? ”

"The Yun family saw that eggs were expensive this year, and the little girl wanted to get some change, so she raised a lot." Ying smiled disdainfully, "It's small after all." Knowledgeable and miscalculated. If she wants to raise her alone, if there is no illness or disaster in three or five years, there may be a hope. Once everyone in the neighborhood has raised it, just her chickens, hehe...... Take a look at it and let her eggs sell for the bran price. ”

"You too, I can't say anything about you." That's right. It's too much," or that, no matter what, you can't ruin your reputation. You are now a celebrity in the circle, and you sat on the right hand of the princess when you sat at the table. As for the hairy girl from a small farmer's household, can't you get along? ”

"Hehe, too." Ying generously waved her hand and said with a smile: "Just treat it as a good deed, and give them more money when you buy Yunjia's land." Let the two boys of the Yun family have something to rely on in the future. The concubine recited the Buddha for a few days, and she was more compassionate. ”

"Buddha? You don't abuse others, and the monk is angry eight times when he hears your words. It's so decided, tomorrow Lanling will come and you will settle your favor and give her the recipe. She has a lot of Zhuangzi, and she has been thinking about it for a long time. "Ying and Lanling have been together for a long time and have a harmonious relationship, and both of them are pretending to be confused. It's a good place to mess around.

"Okay, it's not easy to be in the middle of the husband once." Ying Jiao smiled and pulled the pillow over, "The concubine is going to let the fourth child go back, but the second daughter is a little reluctant, she doesn't say it, she can see it." ”

"This aunt and grandmother are not easy to serve, so it is polite to send it. Don't let it go. "I chanted the Buddha in my heart. finally showed mercy, "If you don't have the main room, keep it for the fourth child." In the future, she will come when she likes to come, and there is a place to stay. ”

"Hehe...... Ying blinked, "and the concubine are so polite, just clap your hands and say it's fast." The fourth child is a concubine, and she will not save for this. Since she wants to make this egg, she has to go back to discuss with her family, this time the husband doesn't have to run in person, the fourth child can be the master. ”

"En, yes, this is not bad." This sister-in-law doesn't look like a good tutor, but she is definitely a person who can take things, and she belongs to the category of being cautious and decisive. "This year I have been busy without a beginning and an end, I have not rested from front to back, I saw that the depression of Zhuangzi was filled, and I went to the villa to rest for two days, and I was still thinking about the star fruit over there." If you don't go now, when the cotton opens, you have to toss for a while, and then it will be winter.

"Well, I'll go as soon as this chicken raising thing is done." Ying stroked her hair, "Let the money housekeeper handle this matter, he is old and fine, older than others, and he can rest assured." ”

Early in the morning, Cheng Chu rushed to report the good news that Qin Yu was going to be transferred back to Beijing, and if it went well, he would be able to go home before August 15. Great, after all, I came back before Mr. Cheng took office, and my hanging heart finally settled down. Old man Cheng is notorious, in the capital, and on the frontier, once he takes office, the bad neighbors around Datang have to be honest, or the country and the clan are in front of him. Cheng Chu also brought the old man because he was interested in Buddhism recently, and he wanted to fast for a few days, hoping to eat vegetarian eggs during the fasting time, so that I could help.

"Vegetarian eggs? What lays vegan eggs? "The old man has a lot of excuses, anyway, because of fasting, he wants to eat vegetarian twist, vegetarian meatballs, and vegetarian strips of meat...... Regardless of the meat, always add a vegetarian word in front of it.

"What's the matter, it's just that people always come to your house to eat and drink, and find excuses." Cheng Chu was shy and embarrassed when he first came to ask for something, but he got used to it after a long time, and he didn't even bother to find an excuse, he was too familiar. "I only moved back a big jar two days ago, and there were more than 20 people in the family, and I didn't block the food. No, the little brother took advantage of the gap in sending the news to ask for some back. ”

"Haha...... "Vegetarian eggs, this name is good, borrowed, and it will be called vegetarian eggs in the future." These are all potential customers, and the vegetarian egg industry still depends on their support, "I don't have many here, and I have to wait for my mother's family to send some more." Take most of the jars. ”

Cheng Chu recently became the head of the Tuntian soldiers, and he can be regarded as a busy person, although he does not have as much as Lin Chong's teaching, but his identity is beyond Lin Chong's reach. In order to commend the Cheng family for their loyalty to the country, they entrusted the old man Cheng with the blessing of the old man, and Cheng Chu mixed up the title of 'Governor', and started a teaching career in the army with five people and six people.

Lanling got Ying's permission, and was in a good mood, so she specially asked the two housekeepers to come to learn the skills of raising chickens, and Steward Qian rarely competed with such a high-level peer. Overjoyed, the old monsters quickly got together, anyway, the house has been boiling the oil pot to fry things recently, eating and drinking is much more moisturizing than the Lanling Mansion, and the two old guys are considered to have an oil difference.

In order to create a thriving vegetarian egg business, the fourth daughter went home to discuss without regrets, and the second daughter was relieved and happily returned to the big kang. I also carefully sorted out my old site. There was a small cricket jar next to the pillow, and I specially selected a good-sounding cricket for her to play, and the girl was very happy, and she took it in her hand as soon as she got home. I deliberately arranged to cultivate the love of the second daughter, starting from the cricket love, and then sending a bird and rabbit to her to raise, and there are more and more cats and dogs. After a long time, it is estimated that it can improve the temperament of the withdrawn place, but I hope so, who knows. Anyway, most people who love small animals are very kind, but they are full of love for small animals, and they don't pity their own kind. I hope that the second daughter will not develop like this.

After the inducement of the housekeeper and the written guarantee of the Chen family, there were more people raising chickens in Zhuangzi, and in order to solve the problem of chicken feed, the fourth child was ready to build a small yard behind Zhuangzi. Only maggots are raised, and farmers can receive them according to their amount. The price of maggots is super cheap, and there is no need to pay cash, they are all hung up first, and then deducted from the egg money. What a good thing, the farmer does not share a little capital, the Wang family also gets good eggs, and once the feed production is formed, it will be large. Farmers in other villages can also get this treatment.

The last time the water king's house was very popular, and it won a good reputation in the vicinity, and the wind reviews were excellent. Because since ancient times, there have been so many preferential protection measures for chicken farmers, and the farmers believe that this chicken raising is also the kindness of the Wang family, in order to make up for the losses of the farmers after the flood, and do good deeds without showing traces.

"Make money and become a bodhisattva," Lan Ling smiled and leaned on the soft chair, "ghostly." The story of the painted skin is about yourself, right? ”

"You're going to hurt people. What else? "Carefully painted a pig's head on the empty eggshell, and it was the second daughter who pierced her eyes with an awl. Carefully made a complete empty shell, the second daughter liked my creativity very much, and collected a large box of eggshell painting pig heads, dog heads and other impressionist works, "The people have benefited, what is wrong with me taking the opportunity to earn some pocket money?" The more I earn, the more they will benefit, what is mutual benefit? Isn't it nice to have food and drink? Besides, raising chickens is idle work, women and children can do it, and they don't delay farming, so I can be regarded as sharing worries for the court. ”

"Good, really good." Lan Ling nodded, "I have to admire, this time I just want to say that you have no reason to say anything." As long as the people in my court collect money like you, the world will be peaceful. ”

"I don't have any economic awareness, and you still don't listen to you. It's a good thing that I'm the only one to do this, it doesn't matter if there are more than three or five, but if there is more, it will be indiscriminate, and good things will become bad things, and it is the farmers who suffer. "This thing has been seen a lot in later generations, deceiving the trust of farmers, and providing technology to provide equipment, and the chest is red and swears to make a purchase promise, and runs away after receiving the money for technical seeds and equipment, and all the things produced are rotten in the hands of farmers, and they want to cry without tears." Businessmen are motivated by profit, but appropriate encouragement and preferential treatment can also benefit the country and the people, and there is no need to talk about doing business without a good word, and people do not owe you money and do not pay it back. ”

"The truth can be understood, even the emperor said so in private, and the tone is similar." Lan Ling pointed at me with a smile, and made a gesture to compare, "But this person, it has become a custom to look down on merchants, and it will be difficult to reverse it." Just like me, I can understand the reason, but I can't change my opinion. ”

"I didn't ask you to change your opinion, just understand the reason." It is true that once a certain opinion is formed, it is difficult to change it for a lifetime. Like Lanling, it's good, and it's still acceptable to be reasonable, and if you stubbornly let you wear out your mouth, you can't listen to it, and admit it. "I don't want to change this custom, I just ask everyone to understand the truth first, after a long time, three or five generations can make a little change and burn high incense."

Lan Ling smiled: "That's more difficult, there are not many people who understand this truth, and even fewer people who dare to say it." You can paint your skin with peace of mind, and no one wants to hear your reasoning. ”

She is kind-hearted, afraid that I will be embarrassed by my nonsense and be treated as an outlier. "I told you, when I met people, I said that it was melon seeds. This is the arrangement of the hand, and in a few days I will go to the mountain villa to rest. ”

"The hot weather is almost over, hehe, it's really a tail." As soon as Lanling heard me mention the villa, he glanced at me charmingly, "You are really a conscienceless, you have waited so long to come out, I'm afraid I'm old and have no freshness." ”

"That is, there are old vinegar, old wine and old antiques, but no one pays attention to the old wife." Stretched out his hand and touched Lanling's round face, "Hehe, what are you doing with your face, so I don't say good things about you." ”

"Go, I owe you in my last life, I have no heart and no lungs." Lan Ling slapped me on the back of his hand, "Set a date and call me, the fish you baked last time was delicious, and people are hungry when they think about it." Did you see the charcoal I sent yesterday? How is it? ”

"Yes, good stuff indeed. Now it's less, I can't see the use, and once I get used to it, I can't do without it. Now that it's hot, I'll tighten the blacksmiths first, and pull a few thousand catties over to burn the kang in the cold weather. This thing must be controlled, and it cannot be dug up by anyone, and the court must come forward to set the law, or it will be chaotic. "Coal is a war-ready resource, and now the mining and prospecting capacity is poor, and the profits are considerable, so it must be supervised by the state.

"Well, if you have a charter, it's coming out soon." Lan Ling nodded, "Tomorrow you go to Nanlin Yuan, Li Shituo I will send you a message, saying that you have prepared something hastily last time, and he will wait for you there tomorrow." ”
