14 Chapter 14
After the discussion of several people, Wang Qian, Meng Wu, and Li Si retreated and left, Su Tan hesitated for a moment, but still sat down next to Qin Shi Huang, and recently made too many requests, he felt a little shy, worried that the other party would think he was annoying.
"What?" Qin Wangzheng said too much and was drinking water to moisten his throat.
Su Tan had something to ask for, so he carried a delicate kettle, poured tea for the other party diligently, and saw him drink it, so he said what he had been thinking about for a long time.
"There is a saying in the dream of the Xuannu, what is given should benefit the people's livelihood, not satisfy selfish desires, and now the tofu production has been stable and can be promoted."
"What is promotion?" Ying Zheng was a little confused, and the word was a bit awkward like the R&D center.
"The so-called promotion is to make the tofu that only you and I know become known to everyone." Su Tan explained warmly, and thought about the possibility of promotion.
According to the records of "Qin Lu Cang Law", the main food crops of Qin are grass, wheat, millet, rice, adzuki beans and soybeans, which are soybeans, with a wide planting area, and there is no shortage of raw materials, including the grass and wood gray water used to order tofu, which are all things that are readily available.
Seeing that Yingzheng listened to him seriously, Su Tan shook his spirit and said everything he thought in his heart.
"Fusu has thought of a lot of methods to promote, such as the army with the highest executive power, but the disadvantage is that if the army is marching and fighting, the cumbersome stone mill called the mill cannot be transported with the grain and grass."
"I think of the merchants in Xianyang City, but the merchants are profit-seeking, if the price of tofu is raised, then there is no benefit to the people."
Su Tan's eyes flashed, and he frowned in distress: "Father, how do you say you can implement it in the simplest way?" ”
Listening to what he said, what should Ying Zheng do, he chuckled lightly when he heard the words, and said softly: "You underestimate Xianyang City too much." ”
"There is a village on the outskirts of Xianyang, all the people are soldiers, they are the best scouts in my Great Qin, but unfortunately the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, each has a handicapped and homeless, and they are all placed here."
"If you want to promote tofu, you might as well teach them how to sell it to surrounding farmers, this tofu is fresh and delicious, the raw materials are easy to obtain, as long as the price is not expensive, I think they will be willing to pay a knife when they are hospitalized."
"If you don't want tofu to be circled by the powerful, you can't be known by the powerful in the first place, and it's only safe when it spreads among the people."
Su Tan listened to his advice, his heart was hot and soft, yesterday's R&D center, today's promotion of tofu, his political father did not take credit, and returned him!
"Fusu is young, you still have to do this." His eyes were a little moist, and his expression became firm in an instant, he was now the eldest son of the First Emperor, and following in the footsteps of the First Emperor was what he should do.
"The widow believes that you can do it." Ying Zheng's face was full of encouragement.
Su Tan clenched his fists: "Fusu can!" ”
After the two glanced at each other, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and then told again, saying that he asked Wang Ben and Meng Tian to take him to the outskirts of the city, because there were mostly Wang and Meng remnants here, and the two of them were more effective than Fusu, who was still a toddler.
Su Tan nodded obediently, and after saluting, he said seriously: "Then Fusu will go." ”
After he returned to Ganquan Palace, he first asked someone to summon Wang Ben and Meng Tian to wait at the palace gate, and then asked someone to go to the dining room to bring a box of tofu, a bowl of chopped green onions, and a handful of fine salt.
After everything was ready, he set up a carriage out of the palace and joined the two.
Soon I arrived at the village, looking at the neat village, there was quite a kind of green trees on the edge of the village, and the peach blossoms reflected the fresh taste of the water.
Before they could reach the village, they saw a group of people standing on the edge of the village, lined up in formation.
"Welcome to Gongzi Fusu!"
As soon as I could see the frame, a deafening shout rang out.
Su Tan could feel the blood in their hearts, and couldn't help but settle down, and before he reached everyone, he got out of the carriage and walked over with Wang Ben and Meng Tian.
"You don't have to be polite!" He replied with a serious face, and then eased his expression: "This time, I came to give you a difficult task, and of course, it is also a way to make money." ”
"Color!" Everyone looked at the calm son Fusu, and couldn't help but be very excited, which means that King Qin has not forgotten them, otherwise how could he let his golden and noble son come here.
"The king has a blessing from heaven, there is a thing that needs to be promoted, it is cheap and easy to get and delicious, it is made of things that everyone can see everywhere, the king and I have eaten for a few days and love it very much, and now I also want me to taste it for the first time!"
Su Tan said, clapping his hands and asking the cook to bring the tofu, everyone was stunned, this snow-white piece, everyone had never seen it, but Gongzi said that it could be seen everywhere.
The cook crushed a part of the tofu with a wooden pestle, sprinkled it with chopped green onions and fine salt, mixed it, and distributed it to everyone present.
Only then did everyone know why they were asked to bring the dishes and chopsticks. Each person can only share a little, but after eating, I can't help but stare at the eyes round, and everyone who has only eaten boiled woad can't bear the deliciousness of tofu at all.
After eating the shallots and tofu, I saw that the cook took out the pottery slices again, smeared a layer of oil on them, and began to fry the tofu.
The tofu is soaked in oil, and the two sides of the roast are slightly yellow, and the smell of the fat alone makes people can't help but sniff it.
It's so fragrant!
In today's food scarcity, food is the most soothing to the hearts of mortals. The slightly hot fried tofu is so fragrant to everyone that people can't help but swallow their saliva.
How is it so delicious!
When everyone thought about it, their hearts became more and more hot, and the talented son Fusu had already said that he came to teach them to do this today.
And at this time-
After everyone tasted the tofu, they were very worried in their hearts, and they saw that the cook had already packed up his things and retreated, and he was replaced by someone to push the stone grinder out.
The beans that have been soaked have become a fine white juice after grinding, and everyone has never seen this way of eating, so they all look at it with their eyes wide open.
I grinded a large bucket of bean juice, filtered it with gauze, and boiled it in a kettle.
In the eyes of everyone who were about to be unable to suppress their curiosity, they lit the wheat straw, took the clean grass and gray water, and got some tofu.
Looking at a pot of fragrant snow-white bean juice, slowly condensing into a flocculent, Su Tan nodded with satisfaction, asked someone to take out a small wooden barrel, fish out some, and said with a smile: "If you put it a little, it will become a bean curd, and it will be delicious if you sprinkle a layer of pickled vegetables on it, and you can sell it as a morning food." ”
And he gave it to the people to eat.
This is a way of eating that even the chef has never eaten, and even the chef is shocked, let alone the people in the village.
Wrap the remaining flocculent with gauze and press it with a bucket, Su Tan waited for the tofu to take shape, and explained to everyone: "One pound of soybean can produce about three pounds of tofu, but making tofu is very tiring, it is manual work, and this is a common use. ”
It is said that it is a physical work, not only soaking beans and grinding beans, but also carrying the burden to sell goods, and few people can stand it after a day.
After discussing the details again, as soon as Su Tan turned around, he saw Wang Ben and Meng Tian with dull faces, obviously shocked by what was happening so far.
They came to press the field, but the hero was useless at all, so he stood idle, listened to Gongzi Fusu's output, and explained the matter properly.
After everything was done, the group left quickly, leaving only a box of unformed tofu still waiting.
Sitting in a carriage –
Wang Ben looked fugue: "Originally, I was just faster and a little smarter, but at the age when I was still playing with mud, you could already make tofu?" ”
This is a delicious thing he has never heard of.
Su Tan touched his nose and said softly: "It's just a fluke, thinking that it will be beneficial to the people's livelihood, so I want to try to promote it first, and then try to promote it to the whole of Daqin when the surrounding villages accept it well." ”
Meng Tian arched his hand, his face full of respect: "Tian is looking forward to the son of the son of Su Ma!" ”
Wang Ben glanced at him, and he was a step too late, his face was full of grief and indignation: "Ben is too!" ”
Listening to the two of them talking, Su Tan couldn't help but feel a lot of pride in his heart, if his father's goal was to be the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, then his Su Tan's goal was the strongest auxiliary!
After separating from the two, Su Tan first went to Zhangtai Palace to report, saying that today's matter had been completed, and he would wait for him to see how the tofu was doing tomorrow, and then talk about promotion.
