Chapter 265: Coca-Cola
Hou Xian hurriedly knelt down, "The slave maid just did what His Highness explained, and the slave maid didn't dare to take credit!" β
"Get up!" Zhu Gaoxian said, "Do you know that there are so many students in the Ming Imperial Academy, why do I entrust you to do these things?" β
Hou Xian was about to answer, but Zhu Gaoxian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't say it, get up!" β
Hou Xian's fingers were digging into the cracks in the ground, and his body trembled violently, "Fourth Highness, the slave maid can serve the emperor and the fourth highness, which is a blessing that the slave maid has cultivated for ten lifetimes!" β
Zhu Di said, "Hou Xian, I have promoted the Three Treasures to the internal officials and eunuchs, you are recommended by the Three Treasures to the Four Highnesses, you can be appointed as a young eunuch, and do a good job for the Four Highnesses!" β
"The slave and maid thank the lord Longen, and the slave and maid will definitely go to the soup for the four highnesses!"
Hou Xian is a Tibetan, in the first year of Yongle in history, he was ordered to go to Wusi Tibet to welcome the monk Halima, Yongle four years before returning to Nanjing, to promote the eunuch to labor. Zheng He's second and third voyages, accompanied by Hou Xian. Since then, Hou Xian has sent envoys to Nepal, Diyongta and other countries, and is a great diplomat.
It has been proven that if a person does well in one field, it is just as easy to make achievements in other areas.
What really determines a person's success is not just a certain talent, but a good moral character and attitude towards doing things.
During the Yongle period, talents emerged in an endless stream, which was also related to Zhu Di's employment and eloquence.
At this time, the people who went to Tibet to be in charge of welcoming the monk Halima, were the lieutenant Yang Sanbao, and the commander of the horse, Mu Xin.
These people who came to meet today are all the objects of Zhu Di's banquet. Zhu Di knew that his son was going to get together with the people of Beijing, so he asked him to leave first, and advised, "Be sure to pay attention to safety, let a few dogs follow you every step of the way." β
"Dad, my son will be fine."
With that, Zhu Gaoxian changed his clothes and left.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Wonton Zhang pushing a cart waiting at the door, and when he saw him, Wonton Zhang shouted, "Your Highness is down, folks, Your Highness is down!" β
Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "Bastard, what are you shouting?" I said, Lao Zhang, it's been a few years, and you're still pushing this broken car, and you don't even have a faΓ§ade until now? β
Wonton Zhang shouted to those who were waiting for Zhu Gaoxian, hearing Zhu Gaoxian's words, everyone laughed, Wonton Zhang was happy, and patted his car, "Your Highness, you don't know, the small car, it was the first in Beijing back then, and it was made by Your Highness, and the small one should be kept as an heirloom, and when it really can't be used one day, the small one should be installed and enshrined on the shrine." β
"Okay, I'll wait, you have installed the watch and made an offering, remember to call me to see it!"
Everyone laughed, and Zhu Gaoxian said, "My mother said that she wants to thank everyone, just invite you to dinner, there are too many people, I can't afford to invite, and I don't want to drink, I happen to be free today, and I will guide you to do business." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone became excited, and Wonton Zhang was about to speak, but Zhu Gaoxian stopped him, "Don't say it, you are pushing a car made by me, in this life, you have to sell wontons and fried rice, don't you?" β
Zhu Gaoxian scolded, "This idea is outstanding! β
Wonton Zhang scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "The little one, I saw His Highness today, and I have a little bit of a good time, otherwise, His Highness will point out the little one, if the little one is doing well, if he says it, he will not lose His Highness's face." β
"Yes, your car, it's not bad to sell duck necks back, I'll write you a secret recipe for braised duck neck, braised pig's head meat and the like, you go back and sell duck neck, I'll take that bite."
"Okay, Your Highness said, the small ones are made at home, and they are guaranteed to be delicious, not delicious, and no money!"
Zhu Gaoxian said, "If you become big in the future, you will sell it at home, you know, the higher the selling price, the more you will earn." However, to make this pickled dish, you need chili peppers, I'll get you some when you go back, you find a piece of land, and first plant some chili peppers. β
"Your Highness, what about the little ones? You help the little one to give me some guidance, the small one is making milk tea, and I also made some yogurt to sell, and the business is not bad. β
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
It was the Yan army who used to fight with him, Zhu Gaoxian still remembers that when he was in the camp, they said that they didn't know how to write letters to his family, so he taught many people some ways to make money, including making milk tea and yogurt. β
Zhu Gaoxian said, "In this way, you go to find Zhu Qi, tell him, let him help you find a fruit tree, called kola nut, I will give you a formula, you go back and study it to see if you can make it, if you make it, take a name called Coca-Cola, or Pepsi, and then you will open a store in Yingtianfu." β
"Your Highness, what do you think of the little one? The small family grows vegetables. β
"Grow vegetables, in this way, I'll teach you how to grow white fungus!" Zhu Gaoxian thought that he had read a report about the artificial cultivation of white fungus, the first artificially cultivated white fungus in Gutian, and the formula was given on it, "You use seventy-nine points of cottonseed husk, twenty-one points of wheat husk, and nine points of lime to try it out for cultivating white fungus, if it is successful, everyone will be able to afford to eat this mountain treasure in the future." β
More and more people gathered around Zhu Gaoxian, as long as someone asked, Zhu Gaoxian could answer, many people were afraid of forgetting, and would repeat Zhu Gaoxian's words over and over again, so that the people around him could help him remember, because Zhu Gaoxian told them some ways to make a fortune.
how to cultivate white fungus; how to make a good drink; how to make paint more beautiful; Carpenters can open a pencil workshop and make Simmons; When they opened a pastry shop, Zhu Gaoxian would teach them how to bake bread; For the furniture, Zhu Gaoxian told them that they could find a way to put some small bouncing on the bed to make the bed soft and elastic......
The night gradually deepened, but the enthusiastic people did not disperse one by one, a teahouse brought tea to Zhu Gaoxian, and Wonton Zhang gave him a bowl of wontons nearby, and fried him a bowl of flower rice with three eggs.
After Zhu Gaoxian's stomach was full, he shouted, "Is there any wine?" β
"Yes!" Someone raised their hand.
Zhu Gaoxian scolded, "Why didn't you say anything just now? Afraid I'll ask you for a drink? I'll show you the way, do you dare to go? Dare to go, and you will be rich! β
"Your Highness, as long as you say, the ends of the earth, the little ones will help you run!" This man is worthy of being a winemaker, he drank too much wine, and his whole body was full of guts, and he came out with his chest bare, patted his chest, and made bold statements.
Zhu Gaoxian said, "Have you ever heard of wine?" I love wine, and if you can make fine wine, I'll exempt you from wine tax for the first three years. β
Grapes are ancient, the earliest is recorded in the Book of Songs, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, "Wan left and right to Pu Tao for wine, the rich people hide more than 10,000 stones, and the long ones are not defeated for decades", after that, the Son of Heaven began to plant grapes.
