Chapter 236: Fighting Grievances
"I said it was a coincidence, do you believe it?"
At that time, iron and steel were being smelted in the blast furnace of Wushan, because it was a deserted wilderness before, even if Zhao Hanzhang had asked people to send supplies there, it was still in short supply.
The most eaten every day is a variety of coarse grains, there is very little meat, mostly stewed, and the vegetables are bean sprouts except for a few pickles.
Because of the shortage of manpower, and there is no one with particularly good cooking skills, no one bothers to make cold bean sprouts and the like, they are just thrown into boiling water, add some soybean oil, and add some salt, and they can be eaten when cooked.
Zhao Hanzhang stayed there for a few days, and his face turned blue.
So when she saw someone banging on the knife, she couldn't help but sigh, "If there is an iron pot, the speed of stir-frying every day is also very fast." ”
When Fu Tinghan heard this, he immediately led someone to make her pot.
Heaven and earth can be seen, she really just mentioned it in passing at that time, what a coincidence.
But it's all done, don't you need it? So she happily accepted the pot.
Zhao Hanzhang tried his best to look back at Zhao Ming sincerely, and before she could be more sincere, Zhao Ming nodded, "I believe it." ”
Zhao Hanzhang's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, when he heard Zhao Ming ask: "I once told you that the iron pot is too extravagant, and now Xiping County is in ruins, and if the county monarch is extravagant, the people under his rule must be sad, why do you still fight ten pots?" One bite was delivered to my house. ”
Zhao Hanzhang said: "That's my filial piety to the fifth uncle. ”
Zhao Ming nodded, "What about the remaining nine?" What do you want to do if you don't use it yourself but sell it in the Treasure Cabinet and set such a high price? ”
Zhao Hanzhang gave Zhao Ming an approving look, "Uncle thinks well, I do have other purposes." ”
She asked, "Don't you think the food made in an iron pot has a special taste?" ”
Zhao Ming humbly asked, "So? ”
"There are always rich people in this world who can't help but eat their appetites, and I don't have a bad time earning their money, and," Zhao Hanzhang said, "The most important thing is that I want to make the effect of soybean oil widely spread." ”
Zhao Ming was puzzled, "Soybean oil? ”
"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang was full of resentment when she said this, she felt that the biggest contribution she and Fu Tinghan had made to this era so far was not glass soap, but the redevelopment of bean food.
Especially soybean oil.
But the scholars of this era did not appreciate it at all, and they even privately passed on what soybean oil was a lowly thing, and they were unwilling to eat it.
There is a taboo at the top, and there must be a denial at the bottom.
Of course, the common people do not think that soybean oil is cheap and do not want to eat, but see that the landlords are unwilling to eat soybean oil, and they are so disgusted with taboos, so there are rumors in private that soybean oil is not good for the body, although it is delicious for a while, but if you eat too much, you will be blindfolded, and finally die inexplicably in your sleep.
Well, this is still a relatively reliable rumor, outrageous that eating soybean oil will cause infertility, eating soybean oil will cause blindness, and eating soybean oil will cause poisoning......
Zhao Hanzhang had no choice but to save the country, and with the iron pot, she sent out a large number of new dishes for free, and the oil used in these dishes was all soybean oil.
As long as one of these wealthy families starts using soybean oil and slowly spreads it, one day they will accept soybean oil.
They accepted it, and so did the common people.
In fact, if she wasn't worried about the bad impact, her over-extravagance would really bring bad atmosphere in Xiping County, she really didn't mind putting an iron pot at home, and eating three meals a day in different ways.
Zhao Hanzhang was still ready to move, so he asked Zhao Ming, "How does my uncle think that I will drive the consumption of soybean oil in Xiping County by myself?" ”
Zhao Ming glanced at her and said, "I'm afraid that your current credibility is not enough to complete this move." ”
Zhao Hanzhang sighed, "Yes, that's why I put all the iron pots into the Treasure Pavilion and didn't keep them for myself." ”
The lesser of two powers, she made a difficult choice.
"If you intend to promote soybean oil, why do you set the price of iron pots so high?"
"It's hard to calm down for a while, iron tools are rare, and," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Now the most important thing in Xiping County is to build farm tools, prepare for next year's spring ploughing, although the promotion of soybean oil is important, but it is still after spring ploughing, so the iron blocks are first tightly tied to the farm tools, and there are only a few iron pots, which are scarce and expensive, and they love to buy or not." ”
Zhao Ming was puzzled and his mood became happy.
Fu Tinghan, who was standing in front of the window and watching the snow, looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, not understanding why they were standing in the snow and talking, and the umbrellas on their heads had accumulated a lot of snow.
Seeing that the two of them still didn't mean to enter the house, he reached out and knocked on the window lattice.
Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Ming turned their heads together to look, and saw Fu Tinghan standing in front of the window with his hands folded, looking at them inexplicably, "Aren't you cold?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang remembered this and hurriedly invited Zhao Ming to sit in the house.
The backyard of the county government is different from the old house, and it is even more different from Zhao Ming's house, almost all of them are tables and chairs.
Oh, there is a wooden couch by the window on the other side, but at first glance it is where Fu Tinghan usually lies, the owner is not invited, and Zhao Ming is not good to sit over.
Zhao Hanzhang asked him to sit down.
Zhao Ming sat on the high chair uncomfortably, "I don't know where you came up with so many strange ideas, and the things you make are all unexpected." ”
His gaze fell on Fu Tinghan and asked, "That iron pot was also made by you?" ”
Fu Tinghan glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and said, "It was made by craftsmen." ”
"How could they have thought of doing such a thing without you mentioning it?"
This time, Fu Tinghan did not refute.
Zhao Ming was very curious, how did the Fu family teach this child, and what did he know...... So weird?
He lowered his eyes, glass, soybean oil, iron pots, and even soap and green bricks, each of which was taken out in a stable period, could become a heavy weapon for the family to accumulate wealth, as well as a paper mill that they didn't have news about now......
Zhao Ming's heart jumped, and he raised his eyes to look at Fu Tinghan, "How sure are you about papermaking?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang perked up and immediately said: "Eighty percent!" ”
Zhao Ming glanced at her, "I didn't ask you." ”
He insisted on looking at Fu Tinghan.
Fu Tinghan: "...... Uncle Ming, the skill of papermaking was conceived by Hanzhang. ”
Zhao Ming didn't quite believe it, and asked: "I remember that you started tossing in the paper mill before the winter, and there is no fruit so far?" ”
Fu Tinghan said: "The weather is cold, the fibers bubble out slowly, I recently prepared a suitable dose of lime water, which is being rinsed, and it won't be long before I can try to catch the first frame of paper." ”
Zhao Ming glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, and was upset for Fu Tinghan, that look was like saying, do you see it, are you embarrassed to admit this credit?
Zhao Hanzhang lowered her head in shame, and while Zhao Ming was not paying attention, she naughtily glanced at Fu Tinghan.
Fu Tinghan's face was slightly red, and he looked away a little uncomfortably.
Zhao Hanzhang is too busy, he can't take care of these things at all, he can only stare more, she has silently written down all the steps she knows, then he can deduce and debug the rest, she will do it, the steps are the same, why take up her energy?
