Chapter 141: Why Are the Court Officials Busy (Second Update)
At noon, the business started, and the meal samples were still pushed out for everyone to see, and the children stopped shouting.
Just yesterday there was an extra service, today there is none.
Yesterday, I told the people who ate that there will be a meal at noon from today, and the first 100 people will be given an extra salted dried tofu.
Then it keeps turning over the table, and some people are even willing to take the tray to the side and squat to eat.
These are the people who do the work, they are not fools, they will estimate.
If you go to other places to eat something, you have to pay two or three cents, and under normal circumstances, you don't have a single dish, or you eat steamed buns, fried dumplings, rice noodles, and ......
Spend three pennies here, you can eat three vegetarian dishes, and the good ration is a spoonful of one dish and one bowl of rice.
The children who are responsible for cooking will always give more, and the children who give food will press hard with the rice board.
The person who buys the food thinks that he has earned it, and the child is too good and simple.
How do they know that this operation was arranged before, and everything that can be seen and moved by you is planned.
Of course, if you are not cheated, Xiaqiu Village will not cheat you to make a fortune.
This boxed lunch is just to take the children to play, exercise, and give an example to some people in the imperial court.
If the village is short of money, will it use the method of selling lunch boxes to make money? Lunch boxes are a low-tech industry, and the value of additional profits alone is low.
In the current social environment, it is not possible to carry out rapid expansion, carry out industrial chains, and penetrate into the government, industrial and agricultural institutions, and educational institutions.
For example, with Ying Tianfu as the center and other surrounding state capitals as the goal, government students are given the qualifications to cook.
Like the current Nanjing, Yingtianfu, there are Qinhuai River and other rivers, and everyone raises ducks, which is less troublesome than raising chickens and geese.
Chickens eat meat, but they can't go to the river to catch food, geese can go down to the river, basically don't eat meat.
Only duck meat and vegetarian are not taboo, anything is fine, so Nanjing has been the main production area of ducks since ancient times.
Therefore, the restaurant that makes duck has a branch model, and Wang's Old Duck Soup has three stores in Nanjing, which belongs to the family model.
"I'm the first hundred, I came early, you remember wrong, you didn't give me salted tofu." A man eating a three-pennie box lunch said to the child who cleaned up the table.
He has big shoulders and round waist, and big eyes, and he looks very ...... Momentum?
The child glanced at the other party's tray, the rice in the rice bowl was gone, the dishes were gone, and he smiled at the other party: "Wait a minute! ”
He picked up the other party's rice bowl and soup bowl and left, and came back after dozens of breaths, most of which were half a bowl of rice, a bowl of duck rack soup, and a salted dried beans.
"Here, eat slowly." The child continued to clean up the table.
The man looked at the thing in front of him, pursed his lips, lowered his head, slowly picked up the chopsticks, and suddenly raised his head: "Do you have any strength to do here?" ”
"The water in the tank is not enough." The child thinks about it and gives a thing.
"Good!" The man answered the call, quickly ate the meal, got up and walked around, and when he saw the well and the bucket beside it, he walked over and staggered.
Quickly filled two buckets of water, and without the flat pole next to him, he picked up the bucket in one hand and asked the other child, "Where is the water tank?" ”
"I'll take you, thank you!" Children lead the way.
The man followed him to the water tank, poured two buckets of water into it, and then came back to fill it again.
Four times in a row, he filled all three unfilled water tanks before he smiled with relief.
He found the child who had just given him food: "I'll go!" Your meal is delicious. ”
"See you tomorrow!" The child replied with a big smile.
"I'll come to your house tomorrow to eat." The man nodded vigorously, turned and strode away.
Before the second quarter of the first month, it was almost half past thirteen when Zhu Wentian was in time, and there were only a dozen people left to eat, and the others were busy working to support their families.
The guards helped to wash the dishes, first passing the side of the water, wiping it with a rag dipped in alkaline noodles, and then washing it, leaving empty water on the side.
The table is not removed for the time being, someone is eating, and it is impolite to remove the table next to it.
Zhu Wentian wiped the table with his friends again, including the table legs, and the chief followed him: "There are still many poor people!" ”
Zhu Wentian turned his head to look at the inside, what do you mean? Was the village rich before?
"Now that the Ming Dynasty has not been established for a long time, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, but this way of helping the people through the world is mysterious and mysterious, wonderful and wonderful!"
The lieutenant put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, turned in a different direction, and faced the sun just now.
"Pot, take." Zhu Wentian shouted, help get the pot, what day are you looking at? Do you want to worry about the country and the people? You are the chief, not the chief.
"Uh-oh." The lieutenant turned over to help carry the basin: "I'm just bored to think about it, Xu is a big official who thinks about this all day long, right?" ”
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhu Wentian smiled.
The chief looked around and sighed, and continued to move the basin.
When the last guest leaves, everything that should be packed is cleaned up and everyone eats.
After the meal, the children took a nap and got up to memorize and write, and by the way, they drank some cold drinks and bought a lot of saltpeter to cool off the heat.
Zhu Wentian hid in the house to write under the pretext of sleeping, and now he doesn't know what the officials in the Ming Dynasty are busy with all day, but he knows what he wants to do.
'Pushing the Fujian Putian Salt Drying Method to Coastal Salt Lakes and Corrective Method' Zhu Wentian wrote a title, and then wrote the content.
At present, there are still many places to boil salt in Daming, and there is also a method of boiling and drying in Fujian, which is not perfect.
The middle and late Ming Dynasty slowly developed, and only then did it have the full popularization of direct salt.
He took it out in advance, with a purpose, not specifically to increase salt production and reduce the labor cost of salt farmers.
Salt households are currently subject to a fixed tax system, and the amount of salt they hand over is counted as earning.
It seems that as long as it is handed in, in fact, the imperial court has already counted the amount of salt produced by each salt household.
For example, if you work by piecework, everyone works an average of 1,000 per person a day, and the boss takes 1,000 as the standard to let one person earn 3,000 to 4,000 yuan a month.
Some people are smart and come up with a new method to do 3,000 a day, and the boss will take 3,000 as the standard, so that a person can earn 3,000 to 4,000 yuan a month.
Therefore, it makes no difference between drying salt and boiling salt for salt farmers, and the only advantage is that there is less fire to smoke and roast.
After writing this questionbook, Zhu Wentian thought about it and wrote another one, but he didn't plan to send it to the imperial court immediately.
The lieutenant chief was also not idle, he sat next to the children, and wrote down the things to be done in the village step by step, such as planting garlic, and don't forget.
There is also ginger planted in the spring, and when I return to the village, I will see how it is, and the first half of the month should be the time of harvest.
At the same time the wheat is planted with soybeans, top dressing. The time is coming for the village to bring their young, and the silage must be remembered, and the cattle and sheep will count on it in winter.
Hanhan wants to build a greenhouse, and he doesn't know what a greenhouse is, anyway, he needs glass, so hurry up and blow it......
He doesn't know how the officials are, anyway, he's very busy, if it weren't for Hanhan, he felt that he couldn't hold it.
Zhu Wentian opened the door at this time and shouted: "Dream, um! ”
"Okay, well, don't be afraid." The chief put away the paper and hurried into the house.
