17. It's better to raise pigs
"Come on, it's done!"
In Luofu, a group of people sat around the table pushing cups and changing lamps, shouting five and drinking, a scene in full swing.
"Boss, you can do it too." A strong man made a gesture to pour wine for Luo Taisui.
Luo Taisui resolutely refused: "I'm still growing up, and it's not good to drink." ”
The gang burst out laughing.
The extra 280,000 stone of grain rewarded by the system was not a way to be placed there in the open air, so Luo Taisui hired some short-term workers with a salary of one bag of grain a day, and spent five days piling up all the grain into the idle house.
With so much food, the short-term workers were very curious about where it came from, and Luo Taisui simply responded that it fell from the sky.
Naturally, the day workers don't believe it.
Anyway, after this incident, Luo Taisui was in a good mood and personally arranged a sumptuous banquet for the short-term workers.
His method of cooking is unique and looks strange.
But after a try, everyone was full of praise.
made Luo Taisui, who thought he had average cooking skills, a little embarrassed.
"I really didn't expect this pork to be so delicious."
"Boss, teach me how to make this dish."
"Usually when you eat this pork, it smells scorching, why don't you get it?"
"yes, teach me too."
……
The workers were loud and enthusiastic, and everyone quickly got together.
Although Luo Taisui drank tea, he was also proud, hitting the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, and singing Su Dongpo's "Ode to Pork" to the rhythm.
"Clean the washing bell, with less water, and the firewood will not be able to smoke.
Don't urge him when he is familiar with himself, and he is beautiful when he is full.
Chang'an is good pork, and the price is as cheap as dirt.
The noble refuse to eat, and the poor do not understand how to cook.
Get up in the morning and make two bowls, so full that you don't care. ”
The first two sentences of this poem explain Su Dongpo's specialty method of making pork - slow stewing, and the last two sentences show that pork is very cheap, rich and noble people disdain to eat it, and ordinary people don't know how to make it delicious.
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"yes, I don't understand."
The short-term workers didn't understand, so they stopped doing it.
Luo Taisui had to patiently explain to them the pork method again.
Of course, in addition to slow cooking, sugar and pepper are also quite important.
Sugar can improve freshness, and pepper can remove fishiness.
However, sugar and pepper at this time are not affordable for ordinary people.
It can only be replaced by other similar condiments, and there is no condition to simply leave it alone.
After listening to the short-term workers, while calling out what only rich and noble families can afford, they swept away the Dongpo meat on the plate.
At this time, Luo Taisui suddenly thought of a way.
"Do you know castration?" He asked.
"Wu Laosan, aren't you a gelding?" Someone shouted.
The gelding, that is, the castration.
The man called Wu Laosan nodded and said, "I understand a little." ”
Luo Taisui said: "The pork is not delicious these days, just because there is no castration.
Castration of domestic pigs at the right time can not only make their temperament tame, but also grow fat quickly, and most importantly, the fishy smell will not be as strong as it is now. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Everyone else came to ask Wu Laosan.
Wu Laosan didn't understand this, he just shook his head.
"Then the owner is so powerful, you even know this!"
"Yes, yes!"
"People who live in the compound of the deep house understand this, but it's rare."
"I'm Zhu Laosi."
……
There was another round of commotion.
"I said ......"
Luo Taisui proposed loudly: "Why don't you get together and raise pigs?"
As long as you learn the practice of Dongpo meat, why not sell it? ”
Not to mention anything else, just opening a secret private restaurant can also make a small fortune.
"Is this possible?"
"If the owner really wants to support us, maybe it will be feasible."
"I think it's not a problem to learn this kind of meat, learn a few other dishes, and open a small restaurant."
"If the pork after castration is really not so unpalatable, I believe many people will come to buy it. We understand, others don't, this is where we are better than others. ”
"Of course, others came here and sold ours."
"I just don't know if this pig can afford it."
"Don't let people have enough to eat when the time comes, how can you talk about raising pigs?"
……
The atmosphere was warm for a while, and then it fell down again, up and down.
Luo Taisui looked amused and said, "You can collect some rancid water, grain bran and rotten vegetable leaves every day to feed."
This thing is not a picky eater, leftovers, wild vegetables and wild fruits, melons, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains are eaten, and it is very easy to raise. ”
With that, some people began to move.
"Why don't you try?"
"Try it first."
"Try it, just try it."
"Then we'll come to ask some questions in the future, and the owner won't blow us out."
Luo Taisui smiled: "Naturally not." ”
"Look, the owner is the most easy-going family I've ever seen."
"It's okay to have a good heart, and you won't look down on us."
"If we are developed, we must make a special trip to invite the owner to drink!"
"That's a good feeling." Luo Taisui did not shirk and accepted it gladly.
The meal lasted more than an hour, and the guests of honor were happy, and then dispersed.
……
After cleaning up, Luo Taisui was idle.
I went to the gate and walked around, and finally turned back again.
"That little girl hasn't been here for a few days, hasn't she?"
He muttered something to his mouth.
It's really a little unaccustomed to not having that girl following behind and asking questions.
Boredom, he picked up the scroll of scout drawings that were still in the corner to pass the time.
Since there is no hope of completing the task given by the system for the time being, there is nothing to do for a while, so he plans to try to make the most basic parts first.
I first found the simplest-looking part, compared the size, and then went to find a piece of wood and came back.
However, after finding the materials, he found that there seemed to be no tools in the house.
The enthusiasm that had been aroused with great difficulty was suddenly extinguished again.
Just as he was about to return the drawings to the corner with the wood, he suddenly remembered something else.
Unicorn arm.
He hurriedly took out the unicorn arm and put it on his arm.
Isn't it said that it can be disassembled and assembled into various tools? Come on!
Luo Taisui shouted in his heart...... He couldn't help it, and he didn't know how to activate it.
At this time, the unicorn arm suddenly reacted.
I saw a beam of red light projected from the side of the unicorn arm, scanning the entire scroll of reconnaissance wood kite drawings back and forth, and then a mechanical voice sounded in Luo Taisui's mind.
"Ding! The scan is complete, and the drawings of the Scout Wood Kite have been added to the database. The host needs to collect enough materials, and the unicorn arm can adjust the tools to make it. ”
Next, a series of data on the size requirements and quantity of the timber are generated and listed one by one.
Is this okay too?
Luo Taisui's eyes widened and he was stunned.
There's something in this unicorn arm!
It's like a mobile computer, with its own scanner and database.
If you want to make something in the future, as long as you collect all the drawings and materials, you will be an all-round craftsman!
