There are still people lining up to buy rice noodles in the market below, and when they buy them, they go to the long table and bench next to them to sit and eat, which is provided by Xiaqiu Village, and squatting to eat is not good for the gastrointestinal tract.

However, squatting to eat has an advantage, it is easy to be full, and then stand up and find that it is just right, so saving food.

Others brought out their own fried rice and put it in a bowl to get the boiling water.

A jar was placed next to the place where the water was boiled, and someone opened the jar and added a pile of mustard gnocchi and shredded pickles to a large bowl with a tong placed on the jar.

Others put chopsticks from the large bowl and put the shredded pickles in their own bowls, instead of directly from the jar.

"We know this, don't need money, yo! Also send chopsticks? Box restaurants use this chopsticks, throw them at a time, how much does it cost? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sat here to eat, just to look at the lives of the people, not to see how poor he was, he wanted to find a sense of honor, and the people were rich to prove that he was powerful.

"Father and Emperor know." This time, the third Zhu Li opened his mouth first.

"The chopsticks of bamboo cost a penny a hundred pairs, and the price sold in Xiaqiu Village to the merchants on the snack street.

Merchants are willing to buy, cheap, and don't need to wash chopsticks, some don't want to use them, but others are dirty and don't eat them.

The chopsticks made in the village are inevitably cheaper, like the disposable chopsticks we use are expensive, costing ten pairs of pennies, mainly because the materials are good. ”

"Is this a one-off?" Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the words of the third child and looked at his chopsticks.

The chopsticks are round at the bottom, above the top, and the square place is engraved, and the two sides correspond to 'full of descendants' and 'magpies falling eyebrows'.

The words on the hot pot are engraved on the chopsticks.

"We always thought it was cleaned, the word ......" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the word and wondered.

"Your Majesty, the machine engraves it, sets it up, just these two sentences, it is easy to carve out, and then it is carefully screened by manual to avoid burrs, and then it is cleaned and dried, so clean and hygienic.

Otherwise, after eating, some chopsticks bite out tooth marks, oil or something will go in, cleaning is very troublesome, easy to breed bacteria.

The chopsticks of gold, silver, and copper are afraid of oxidation, and they have to be washed with chemicals, and the child is tired and heavy to use. ”

The chief said the reason for using disposable chopsticks, the cost is not high, ten pairs of pennies, and now there is money.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt the chopsticks again: "Cheng, a dime and a pair, we can afford to use it." When people go out, they really need to be clean. That pickles...... How much is salt these days? ”

He said pickles, thought of the price of salt, mustard gnocchi is not worth much, Xiaqiu Village took it and interplanted soybeans, and then harvested it to plant sorghum.

In the process of interplanting with soybeans, the yield per mu is more than 3,000 catties, and the soybean harvest can be 150 catties.

Pickle gnocchi and mustard are both mustard greens, pickle gnocchi is kohlrabi, and mustard is green cabbage.

While waiting to plant sorghum, I also supplemented the sorghum with fertilizer.

The head of green cabbage is harvested for seven cents a catty, and mustard gnocchi deducts the harvest of soybeans, which is cheaper than the head of green cabbage, so salt is expensive.

"Four in distant places, three in normal places, two in good roads, and one in the village." Queen Ma knows the price.

"Okay, it's the most expensive four-article, it's not expensive, you can afford it." Zhu Yuanzhang showed a simple smile.

The place is a catty where the road is particularly difficult to walk, and there is no salt in the local area, so transportation fees are required.

Henan is three wen and one catty, Nanjing is naturally two wen, Xiaqiu Village has Ju Bi Seven, go directly to the sea to purchase salt, no need to transport it.

There is no need for salt, the normal transaction tax, thirty taxes one, the people can afford to eat salt, and the most salt-consuming is to make sauerkraut.

After pickling the sauerkraut, the salt is gone and can no longer be used.

"Your Majesty, when the department stores are opened in all counties, the most remote places will be able to eat salt, as well as dried salt, kelp, sea rice and other foods."

The chief followed up and said that the cost of department stores is low, and the price of goods in salt farms is different from that of government and department stores.

Department stores have special functions to maintain the price system of the Ming Dynasty, and some goods are even outpaid.

The money lost by the department store was actually given to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the people sold things to the department store, and the transportation cost of the department store was discounted into it, and it was given to the people in other places without any profit.

Its role is not only to make money, but to serve the politics of the Ming Dynasty, balance the circulation of social materials, and ensure the supply of basic materials for the people.

Some of the goods that make money are returned, and the rest is returned to the people, but the country's overall economy is improving.

After data collection, department stores control the varieties of crops grown by the people, and raise livestock and poultry through special acquisitions.

If the people can survive, they will not rebel, they are willing to cooperate with the imperial court, and the quality of life will gradually improve, and the national strength will increase.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised the telescope again: "The department store is amazing, why can't people in the past think of it?" Shredded pickles aren't white? We get the idea. ”

"Yes! The white one is not delicious, and it will turn red after a long pickling time, and the one we eat is pickled in sauce, which is more expensive, but it has been fried, and it is more fragrant after frying, which is the fee pickles. ”

The governor knows the consumption of pickles, which is delicious! And the people ate hard, and they could not control it at all.

The white pickle gnocchi and the red one are not the same texture and taste at all, there is no white one in the village, and Jubiqi does not sell white one.

"Eat it! There is no shortage of money in the village, there are always people to do good deeds, Liu Jizu is good, good people. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang replaced Xiaqiu Village generously, it was impossible for him to give Xiaqiu Village money, boast about it, and benefit without spending it.

"Your Majesty is very true." What else can the lieutenant say?

"After eating, let's go out for a walk, is it dangerous?"

Zhu Yuanzhang wants to visit the market, but now there are too few opportunities to go out.

The crown prince Zhu Biao spoke up: "Father, generally speaking, the people who are often here, we have all sent people to investigate, for fear that there will be enemies to investigate the situation in the village. ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang put his mind at ease.

Everyone stopped watching and ate faster.

After two quarters of an hour, everyone put down their chopsticks and rinsed their mouths with tea, and the guards went out first, standing next to each stall.

Zhu Wentian doesn't hold a gun, he uses an iron skewer, what if the gun gets stuck! The skewer will not.

Each of the friends has a small pistol, which is best suited for melee combat.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others wore clothes from the village and came out under various protections.

"You don't sell fish?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw those who sold pork, poultry, mutton, and beef, and they had to see the opportunity, but the fish should be there, but he didn't see it.

"As soon as the fresh fish and shrimp come, the village will buy it, and if others want to buy it, they have to wait, and when they see someone carrying the fish here, they will shoot first, otherwise it will return to the village."

The governor explained the situation, the fish and shrimp couldn't be put down, and some people came to sell them, so they quickly bought them back to cook, and they had to eat them every day anyway.

River shrimp are generally fried or marinated, or peeled out of the meat and filled, and if someone wants to eat shrimp balls, they will also make shrimp balls.

It is a habit to eat a big pot of rice in the village, not to worry about money, and to keep a little money in your own family.

In fact, there is nothing to buy at home, the cotton of the quilt is not soft enough, there is a cotton machine, and everyone helps to play it quickly.

"Why is this pig so thin?" Zhu Yuanzhang understood the problem of fish and shrimp, and stood by the pork stall and asked in wonder.
