Chapter 188: Competition

Of course, He Zao didn't know that she was only nine years old, and she had inexplicably gone to a rotten peach blossom luck, and she was choosing a candidate with Chen to work in the persimmon workshop.

The fourth aunt of the Lu family was naturally the first candidate, and selected a young daughter-in-law with a good reputation in the village, and the Heyuan persimmon workshop was officially opened.

Although I know that the method of pickling these pine-flower eggs and lazy persimmons is very simple, even if it is not passed on, there will always be smart people who practice it themselves, but He Zao still requires everyone who comes to work to sign an agreement, basically that it is not allowed to tell outsiders about the He family's workshop, and it is not allowed to go back to their own homes to make it secretly, and then take it out to sell. If it is violated, each person will be compensated with 300 taels of silver from the He family.

These three hundred taels are not much, but they are not too much, at least for the people of Lujia Village, it is an astronomical amount.

The only fortunate thing is that He Zao is doing business with the Han family, and even if those good families in the village are itching to get the secret recipe of the He family, they don't dare to make small moves.

Ordinary people don't have this ability.

Lazy persimmons are only suitable for more than a month, and the persimmons should be frozen and inedible, so the main job of the woman invited is to make persimmons.

Before, He had already gone to the blacksmith shop to let the family give a few similar modern peeling knives, which were specially used to spin persimmon skins, because this kind of knife was very convenient for cutting fruit skins, and it was not expensive to fight, which led to almost everyone in Lujia Village having one, which was unexpected by He Zao.

There are several steps in the method of drying persimmons, which requires a lot of manpower, the first step, the persimmon pedicle is trimmed, the second step, the second step is to start spinning, each persimmon must be cut clean, flat, which is related to the appearance of the persimmon after molding, so when the original selection of people, He has already deliberately selected the knife work to do well, the third step, choose a place with sufficient light, hygiene and cleanliness, set up a frame with a bamboo pole at a height of more than one meter, spread a clean bamboo mat on the top, peel the persimmon fruit up, visit in a single layer, and then expose to the sun, In the evening, when the weather is cool, cover it with a thin bamboo mat.

After waiting for ten days in this way, the persimmon will be formed for the first time, then the flesh shrinks, the top of the fruit sinks, the first flip, and then every three or four days to turn once, each flip at the same time to knead the cake, this is the first time to knead the cake, the force should be light, and so on the second time to pinch the cake, it is necessary to increase the force, and pay attention to the hard lump in the persimmon all the soft, and wait for two or three days, then you have to start the third pinching cake, then you have to pinch flattened.

There is a trick when kneading cakes, it is advisable to choose a sunny day or a windy morning, because the moisture of the pulp exposed at night is transferred outward, the fruit surface is damp and has toughness, and it is not easy to pinch it.

Drying persimmons is a far more meticulous job than pickling pine eggs, and occupies a place, which will be affected by the weather at all times, so after discussing with the He Zao family, it was finally decided that He Laosan would temporarily live in a private school, and Sibao would also live in it together.

He Zao discussed with his family and decided to let Sibao live in a private school with He Laosan. At noon and night, they all went home to eat, Jin Juren was lazy for half his life, and at this time, he naturally wanted to teach students to make a name for himself, Qibao was young, and there were still a few years, but Sibao had no time, so he also agreed that Sibao would eat and live with him.

When the persimmon peel was placed for four or five days, the third batch of lazy persimmons from Hezao's family had also been shipped to the county seat, and the price was the same as before, twenty wen a piece. The family workshop does not need to be managed by He Laosan, he drove the ox cart, and then pulled He Laosi, the two brothers went to other villages in the township to collect persimmons, and when they went to the county seat to deliver goods, they would also stay in the villages on the edge of the county for half a day, and the persimmon capacity of the He family was very considerable.

For the first time, Han Lanshuo tasted lazy persimmons, and felt that they tasted good, and when the second batch arrived, he asked about the time when He Zao was stored, and it could be stored for about seven or eight days, so he left a hundred catties and sent them to the capital, part of which was given to the elders and uncles and brothers of the Han Mansion as gifts, and the rest was used as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for the Han family to promote in the capital.

But even if the He early family keeps lazy persimmons day and night, it is unrealistic to send them to the capital every day, not only can the freight not afford, but the lazy persimmons can be stored for too short a time, so when the dumb steward proposed to let He Zao tell the Han family about the practice of lazy persimmons, the Han family made them in the capital, and the profits were divided into 10% of the He family.

The He family is now doing business by relying on the connections and power of the Han family, not to mention that they will not give it, He Zao will also tell them the method, not to mention that there is also a component, He Zao did not hesitate, said the method, and said: "In fact, not only pears, apples can be, it is better to use other rare fruits, and the taste of lazy persimmons will be better." ”

Han Lanshuo changed his opinion of He Zao and smiled: "This little girl from the countryside is very smart. ”

They knew how to deal with these nobles, and they were comfortable with each other for all these days.

The He family did not rely on the power of the Han family to act as a blessing outside, but they borrowed the power of the Han family well to dispel the thoughts of some ill-intentioned people.

In fact, in the eyes of the Han family, these businesses of the He Zao family are too pediatric, and the reason why the Han family will support the He Zao family so vigorously is that the most important thing is to take it as the most legitimate reason, so that the housekeeper can go to Lujia Village without arousing the suspicion of people from all walks of life.

Therefore, it is very important to take the opportunity of the Mid-Autumn Festival to finalize the matter of Heyuan Songhua eggs as a tribute.

Before this, Han Lanshuo deliberately went hunting in the mountains with Ah Che, the Han family was afraid of danger, and followed a large group of guards with good skills and high martial arts.

Perhaps, what she said is right, these big families are just shows, and without these guards, it is difficult to say whether they can hunt a prey.

In fact, in his competition with Han Lanshuo, he won it crisply and crisply, without dragging the mud and water.

Han Lanshuo looked depressed, looking at the hare he was holding in his hand, he had met a wild boar before, but the other party was too strong, he only hesitated for a moment, and was run away by the other party in a ramp, and with an arrow he shot in the ass, his guards wanted to chase after him, but he stopped him.

said that this time it was just a competition between him and Jingzhi, and no one liked to interfere.

He shoots a rabbit in pursuit of a wild boar, and then comes the news that Archer has hunted a wild deer.

He shot an arrow into the deer's eye, and the skin was intact.

Han Lanshuo knew that he had lost.
