It is obviously not accurate to say that it is an outing.

They mainly went to see how the house was first, and what it could be used for in the future.

Although Feng County is under the rule of Jingzhao Prefecture, it is not very rich.

Cheng Jingzhou turned the house inside and out, but he didn't think of where it was more appropriate.

However, Xie Rongzhao looked here, and then looked there, and felt that this house was really beautiful, and if it was really demolished and then divided into fields, it would be a bit of a waste.

With such a large house, it can't be left empty all the time, otherwise over time, the house will become fragile and easy to collapse.

After looking at the house, they went out again to look at the fields and ascertain what the output would be in the coming year.

Feng County actually occupies a more convenient geographical location.

Whether you want to continue north or east, you have to pass through Feng County. If the herdsmen who are hundreds of miles north of Feng County want to trade some grain, they will generally choose to come to Feng County.

One is because Feng County is close, and the other is because the prices in Feng County are cheaper than those in the capital, and the taxes are not so high.

The herdsmen hundreds of miles away from Feng County are also the children of Dazhi, but because of the geography and climate in the north, it is not suitable for growing grain, but it is more suitable for growing some pasture.

Xie Rongzhao had an idea in his heart, but he still had to discuss it with Cheng Jingzhou before he would have the bottom in his heart.

"Good baby, but do you have something on your mind?"

Xie Rongzhao shook his head: "Husband, I remember that a book I read before mentioned pancakes, and I remember that it seems that pancakes are produced in Tai'an Mansion, and the local people like to eat them." ”

Cheng Jingzhou nodded: "That's true, what's wrong with this pancake?" Would you like to eat? Then it is enough to tell people to do it. ”

Xie Rongzhao shook his head: "Husband, our Feng County has a geographical advantage, if it comes to growing grain, our Feng County is not a big county for growing grain, after all, there are mountains and rivers." However, there are many merchants who come and go from the south to the north. ”

The location of Feng County is actually in the southeast of the capital, and some merchants from the south will also choose to go to Feng County, one is because there are waterways in Feng County, and the other is because the various costs of Feng County are lower, such as accommodation and meals, in comparison, are more suitable than going to Ding County.

In fact, taking Feng County is not a long detour, after all, Feng County also has merchants here, some merchants will settle in Feng County, first sell some of the goods, and then enter the capital.

The price of goods in the capital is high, and in the same way, this goods can be sold at a high price.

It's just that the corresponding various costs will be high.

Not only that, there are many powerful people in the capital, and some merchants are inexperienced, either they are cheated by the sophisticated shopkeeper, or they accidentally collide with the nobles, or they provoke local gangsters.

In short, the capital is indeed prosperous, but the corresponding troubles will be more, especially for some foreigners, it will be more troublesome.

Therefore, the herdsmen who are hundreds of miles away also prefer to come to Feng County in exchange for supplies rather than going to the capital.

Xie Rongzhao meant, why not just take advantage of this advantage to attract those merchants, and then they will sell the goods at a low risk, which seems to be lower than that in the capital, but in fact, their expenses in Feng County are also small, and they can also get some bargains at a low price in Feng County to sell back, this is not a matter of killing two birds with one stone?

Cheng Jingzhou reacted at this time, "You mean, let's use this house as a workshop, it happens that this place is close to the county seat, and the road is easy to walk, so we can make some goods out?" ”

"Well, this is just one of my thoughts, for example, this pancake, we can make pancakes like Tai'an Mansion, this can be stored for a long time, easy to preserve, and it can also allow merchants to wrap their stomachs on the road, if you come here to eat, there are also that kind of soft pancakes, hot, and then get some corn porridge, especially in winter, drink a bowl, the whole body is warm, what do you think?"

Cheng Jingzhou really thought about it seriously.

"That's a good idea, but if we only make pancakes, it doesn't seem to be appropriate. It's too simple, and it's hard to attract merchants to come. ”

"You're right, so I'm thinking, what kind of food or portable things can you make, such as dried meat, what do you think?"

Cheng Jingzhou felt that it was feasible: "This is okay, eating this on the road can not only fill the stomach, but also allow people to quickly recover their strength, and the most important thing is that this thing is convenient to carry." ”

Xie Rongzhao was a little excited: "Then we can also try to make some dried meat to sell." ”

Cheng Jingzhou poured cold water and said: "The yield of dried meat is too low, and the consumption is very large, the most important thing is that in summer, this dried meat is not particularly easy to preserve." ”

Xie Rongzhao was a little frustrated, and before Cheng Jingzhou could comfort her, she had another idea: "Then we can make jerky!" Don't be too hard, when you take a break on the road, eat a few sticks, and then drink a few sips of water, you can replenish your strength. ”

It's a good idea, but the question is, to make jerky, they need a lot of meat, where do they get it?

Xie Rongzhao's eyes were shining: "Fuyuan Villa has it!" Let's let them raise more poultry and livestock at that time, which is also a great benefit for the people. ”

Cheng Jingzhou thinks it's feasible.

It's just that the premise is that he has to make this thing first, and then think of ways to attract merchants to come, otherwise, he doesn't dare to really encourage farmers to raise more, after all, raising these things also consumes energy, and some of them have to eat grain.

Xie Rongzhao tugged on Cheng Jingzhou's sleeve, and the two of them thought about trying it in their own mansion first, if it could be done, then they would think of promoting it, and then they could turn it into a workshop, which would be cheaper.

Xie Rongzhao has never disappointed in terms of cooking skills.

Regarding the kind of pancakes that can be kept and carried, Xie Rongzhao only needs to talk about the method, naturally someone can make it, this is originally a specialty of Tai'an Mansion, almost everyone in the local people can make it, Wang Zizhen is very discerning and recruited a few people from Tai'an Mansion to come over to make pancakes.

Xie Rongzhao tried to make all kinds of jerky.

The first thing to make was chicken jerky, Xie Rongzhao took a lot of effort to break the two pots of seasoning, and finally made spicy, spicy and spiced chicken jerky.

After making it, Cheng Jingzhou was the first to taste it.

"Well, it tastes really good, salty, but not too salty, just right. These two are a bit spicy, which can be sold locally by merchants, and are not suitable for them to eat on the road. ”

Xie Rongzhao smiled proudly: "I'm amazing, right?" ”

Cheng Jingzhou hugged her with a smile: "Amazing! My good baby is the best! ”

With the success of chicken jerky, it is not so difficult to make other types of jerky.

Everything is developing in a good direction.
