Chapter 228: Peanut Soup and Milk Potato Porridge
"Chen Jun, after you go back, you go to Feng Shuo, ask him to go to Shopkeeper Sun the day after tomorrow, and tell him to buy 10 horses first, we can't afford to raise more."
Chen Jun nodded, and as he stepped back, he repeated the order in his mind.
"Aobai, how long has Lao Zheng been gone?"
"Back to the master, he left at the end of the first month, and today is fifteen."
It's been half a month.
Liu Yifeng frowned, hasn't the boat he bought been refitted for half a month?
A few days after the Lantern Festival, when Liu Yifeng was still working overtime to make up for the shortage of inlaid bean candy, Qiu Qilin sent someone to inform Liu Yifeng that he deliberately sent Zheng Zhilong over. In addition to participating in training, it is also to receive goods.
Liu Yifeng set that it was a single-masted ship that could carry 50-70 people or the same amount of cargo, but Qiu Qilin waved his hand and gave a two-masted one, and the carrying capacity naturally increased by about 4%.
Zheng Zhilong was very moved by Liu Yifeng's decentralization, and he didn't even look at the boat and completely believed in himself. As everyone knows, Liu Yifeng just knows that he doesn't understand ships at all, so instead of wasting time to watch the excitement, it is better to leave it to a professional person to be responsible.
He still has a lot to do.
Yang Changbai had already informed him: Song Yingxing would meet Jinshan City before Qingming, and after that, he had to be a new advisor.
Then there will definitely be no time to do other things, so Liu Yifeng must hurry up and let many things go through the preliminary preparation stage before Song Yingxing comes back, so that he can rest assured that his subordinates can do things while he is a consultant.
For example, to find a reliable supplier for the chain store in the future, so he was invited to meet Sun Jiankui today.
Liu Yifeng sighed, knowing that he was still too anxious. Zheng Zhilong has to be trained as a captain, he has to be familiar with the crew, he has to go to sea a few times to get familiar with the hull, how can it take some time, it is normal to have no news for half a month.
As for why Liu Yifeng was in a hurry, it was because he found that he was going to run out of money again.
Even if it is paid in installments, a ship is too expensive, and it is really not something he can afford. Moreover, he also has to keep funds as the working capital of Jinshan Sweet Village.
But it's not without good news.
After returning to Jinshan Sweet Village, Song Xiance was settling accounts, although the final accounts had not yet been calculated, but from the smiles on other people's faces, it could be seen that today's new products must be very popular.
"Big boss, the accounts are settled, today's sales are 3 times higher than the average sales in the past half month!"
Everyone collectively took a breath of cool air, and even Liu Yifeng didn't expect the new peanut soup and Meiling porridge to be so popular.
Peanut soup is the peanut kernel soup in the coastal areas of Zhejiang Province and Fujian Province in later generations, and there is no documentary record of when it originated, but it is definitely a dynasty after the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty only had an iron pot to boil peanut soup that is as milky as milk.
The method is very simple, that is, boil the internal structure of the rotten peanuts over high heat, and then emulsify the boiled fat and protein on low heat, and finally add sugar.
The peanuts are boiled so glutinously that they barely maintain the appearance of the peanut kernels, but in fact, when the tongue is pressed lightly, it is completely pureed. And the aroma of the peanuts is completely boiled into the soup, which is like drinking peanuts.
Later generations also extended a lot of ways to eat, Liu Yifeng was not ready to present, he was ready to sell the most basic peanut soup. In this cold weather when the hottest day is only around 10 degrees, there is no better enjoyment than a bowl of inexpensive and incomparably sweet and steaming peanut soup to warm the body, and then let the sweetness make the tiredness of the day disappear.
The hot peanut soup is very popular, and Liu Yifeng sells it really inexpensive, and the more down-and-out people and explorers can share a bowl for two people.
Meiling porridge is another hot drink he launched, and the price is a little more expensive because there are more ingredients and more expensive.
The glutinous rice and rice were soaked last night and soaked all night.
The next morning, the two kinds of rice are mixed and poured into an iron pot, poured in the freshly ground and filtered soy milk several times, and finally put in the pre-steamed wild white potatoes to start boiling, and finally put in rock sugar to taste.
When filling the bowl, use a wooden spoon to crush the still formed wild white potatoes, and a bowl of Meiling porridge is ready.
This porridge belongs to Jianghuai cuisine, founded in the early 20th century, because a certain period of time in China a woman surnamed Song likes to eat very much, so it is named Meiling porridge, in which it is called soybean milk yam porridge.
Wild sweet potato is yam, which has existed in the history of Chinese literature for more than 3,000 years, and there are many other names for yam, but it was generally called wild sweet potato in the Ming Dynasty.
It is impossible for Liu Yifeng here to call it Meiling porridge, the ancestors of the woman's ancestors have not been born yet, and the soybean milk yam porridge is too vulgar, so he named it milk potato porridge.
Milk potato porridge is whiter than peanut soup, really like porridge boiled with milk, many people think so when they see it for the first time, but the entrance has no milky taste at all, but it is fragrant and soy milk, followed by soft glutinous rice, slightly hard and elastic rice or japonica rice, and finally the unique taste of potatoes that have been crushed yam.
This bowl of porridge has not been drunk by many shopkeepers of commercial houses in Dongshan Prefecture, even Song Yingxing and Zhang Jun have not drunk it. Later, the two of them had to drink milk potato porridge every morning to prove it, but this is a story for another time.
"Aobai, you immediately hire someone to go to the city to spread the news, just say that Jinshan Tianzhuang has a new product, it will be sold the day after tomorrow, there will be a discount within three days, and you won't be able to eat it if you go late." After Liu Yifeng gave an order to Aobai, he looked at Zhao Lao Wu and asked, "Lao Feng?" ”
"Boss Feng and Boss Li are out."
I guess I'm busy recruiting new members.
Liu Yifeng didn't care about the two of them, and said to everyone in the courtyard: "Brothers, everyone is a little tired today, let's make more preparations, and do a good job tomorrow." I promise, as long as the sales are good for 3 days, I invite everyone to go to the Red Boat for a drink! ”
Hearing the flower boat, even Ao Bai, who was wearing a robe, had red eyes.
Even Song Xiance, who had always been the calmest, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Big leader, are you serious?" ”
"When have I ever lied to someone?"
"But, there are so many brothers, are you scheduled to come?"
"You don't have to worry about this, I promise you all have it anyway."
The so-called red boat is the first green building in Jinshan City.
It is very chic that it was not built in the new Jinshan City, but carved out an area of its own in the northern part of Jinshan Bay. It is only a quarter of an hour's boat ride from Ding Port, the northernmost part of New Jinshan City.
The original 4 ports of the new Jinshan Castle were called A/B/C/D ports from north to south, and the ship that picked up the benefactor to build in the Qinglou in Beiwan was wrapped in red cloth, reminiscent of a woman's red belly pocket, so it was called a red boat.
The Qinglou also has no name, and everyone is used to calling going there to go to the red boat to drink.
The red boat is not a high-end green building like Zhang Jun's restaurant, he is open to the public, and he will definitely not be proficient in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting carefully trained by the white shopkeeper, and then after closing the door, he will play and sing all of them. But the public doesn't care, they can't afford the maids trained by the white shopkeeper.
The red boat was opened on the fifth day after the Lantern Festival, and business was full every day, and once the benefactors fought on the red boat, and there was an incident of falling into the water.
What is most lacking in Dongshan State?
From the moment Dongshan State was established, she has always been a woman!
The people's lives have improved in Wanli years, and there are fewer and fewer people who are forced to sell women, and the Qinglou prostitutes of the Ming Dynasty are topped by Dongyi women, Fusang women and some female prisoners of war who are mixed with the Han people in southern Xinjiang for many generations, after all, they are not much different from Chinese women.
When Liu Yifeng came, those Fusang women on the Nanyang class were going to smuggle and sell them to places like the Red Boat.
Liu Yifeng's subordinates knew that there were no women in Jinshan City, so they usually endured it. Now that I know about the Red Boat, I will gather in groups every day when I am free and start discussing the female Lu of the Red Boat. After a while, it will turn into an exchange of rumors about the red boat that they have heard from other people, some of which are true and some of them are false, but in the end, they will all become people who have had female experience, and they will brag to those boys and chickens with a smug face.
They also want to go to the red boat to consume, but unfortunately the people who book the red boat have already lined up after the Qingming Festival. So now that they heard that Liu Yifeng had a way, they all widened their eyes and stared at their leaders.
"I know the boss behind the Red Boat. Okay, if you want to go to the Red Boat, let me start working! ”
In a word, everyone believed it, and almost all rushed to their posts.
This stems from the vast magical powers that Liu Yifeng has always built, a wide range of contacts, and a character who is good at talking, and of course, the fear that Liu Yifeng will leave them and go to the red boat.
When the people were almost separated, Song Xiance secretly asked who the boss behind the red boat was, and was kicked on the ass by Liu Yifeng and flew out. After getting up, he hurriedly rushed to the account, he was also afraid of being left behind.
It's a shame to say, Song Xiance is not young, but he is still a child.
Who is the boss behind the Red Boat?
Liu Yifeng sighed, he was going to visit him tomorrow, and the consumption quota of the red boat was not worth mentioning compared to what he really asked the boss behind the red boat to help.
