Chapter XXXVIII
Jia Yi heard the eldest young master say that the emperor has a method of yeast to ferment bread, only to find that this is not his own originality, but it doesn't seem to have spread yet, at least not in the provincial capital where the eldest young master is.
He didn't know that on earth, the ancient Egyptians already knew the method of fermentation more than 2,000 BC, but the yeast used was wild yeast, not wine-making, and the efficiency was relatively low. Here, even if it is later, at least it has entered the iron feudal era, and it is not difficult to accept the discovery of fermentation. After all, there is only a thin line between making wine and making bread.
Jia Yi cleaned up his spirit and said to the eldest young master: "Ah, my teacher, we all call him Yao Lao, and he is the pharmacist in our village. ”
"Yao Lao, is there a pharmacist in the village outside the whispering forest in the southeast?" The eldest young master suddenly became interested, and seemed to know Yao Lao.
"You, do you know my teacher?" Jia Yi was really shocked this time, one of the two was the son of the lord's family, and the other was a medicine picker in the deep mountains, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match.
Although the territory is not large, at least there is a city in size. Even before he crossed over, Jia Yi didn't know the county magistrate in his own county, let alone let a mayor know him. Although the population density of this world is much smaller, the classes are more stringent and the gap between classes is deeper.
Could it be that Yao Lao still has any entanglements with this eldest young master, depending on the age, is it because he has some entanglements with his father and the lord. Or maybe Yao Lao is really the hidden big boss of the novice village, a retired brave man who saves the world, and a great magician who is trapped by love!
Jia Yi was thinking nonsense, but the eldest young master smiled and said, "Don't you know? When he was young, he traveled and went on adventures, wanting to be an adventurer, and later came back after learning a good pharmacist skill, and he also had a good medical skill. It's just that he doesn't have a good temper and rarely communicates with people, so few people know about it. Moreover, as an adventurer who has wandered outside, it is rare to return to the village where you came from. ”
"Ah, why?"
"Either they die outside, or they make money and move to the big city. Even if they didn't make any money, few people came back, struggled outside, and died if they weren't careful. ”
"This makes sense, probably because Yao Lao traveled to the imperial capital, so he got this method of making bread. Yao Lao is also a good skill, the people in the imperial capital are very xenophobic, in their eyes, as long as it is outside the city wall of the capital, they are all hillbillies, and they have always looked down on them. Even if a lord from another place enters the city, he will not be looked down upon. ”
"And it was not easy for him to learn this method of making bread, and probably his medical skills also played a big role. ”
Jia has a feeling that I will quietly watch you pretending to be forced, this lord's eldest son Balabala said a lot, and forcibly explained a wave of self-brain supplements, and moved Jia to lie all the round.
This kind of self-brain supplement is the most terrifying, people are always more likely to believe in themselves, thinking that they are the smartest, and everyone else is stupid. Even if there is any flaw, it can be rounded by itself.
This kind of person is also Jiayi's favorite, how much saliva has been saved.
"How much bread do you have here? I'll get it, and we're going back to the provincial capital. This is much better than dry food. Although he had been sitting on his horse and bowing his head and talking, slightly arrogant, he didn't dare to say anything.
The situation is stronger than people, and you still have to coax when you should coax.
"There are 8 loaves of bread, young master. "Here Gary was very happy to hear that the eldest young master was going to contract the rest of the bread, and the lord was still very authoritative in the eyes of Gary and the villagers.
"Take it all!" said the eldest young master, and when he got the bread, he thought for a moment, and then said, "How much bread can you make every day? Send 20 to the lord's mansion every day." As he spoke, he didn't ask Gary if he agreed.
Jia Yi saw that the eldest young master had not mentioned the matter of money, and he was a little anxious, if he didn't give money, these 8 loaves of bread would not matter, but if he sent 20 loaves of bread to the lord's mansion every day and didn't pay, the money sold every day would be wasted.
Jia Yi was about to say something, when the eldest young master spoke: "How much is this bread? ”
Hearing the words of the eldest young master, Jia Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this eldest young master is also very easy to speak.
"Each, 8 copper for each white loaf and 4 for black bread, and here there are 5 white and 3 black for 8 loaves of bread, 40 plus 12 for 52 coppers. I can give you these breads, but can I make a request?" said Kaichi weakly under the horse's head.
"Oh, what do you want to ask for, tell me. The eldest young master lowered his head and stared at Jia Yi with a playful look in his eyes.
"I, I want a carriage. ”
"Haha, your little thing isn't worth a wagon. The eldest young master raised his head and laughed, but there was not much laughter in his voice, probably because he felt that Jia Yi was a little confused.
"No, no, I'm not going to trade these breads for carriages. Jia Yi hurriedly explained, he didn't dare to offend this eldest young master, the lord at this time had absolute control over the people, if he accidentally angered them and was cut off by a knife, no one would act chivalrous.
"Your Excellency, our village is far from here, and we have to travel many miles back and forth every day, and it takes too long to make bread. So I want to ask the eldest young master to buy a carriage for you to speed up the time on the road and better deliver bread to the lord's mansion. After all, the houses in the town are too expensive for us to afford. ”
Kaichi explained to him.
"So, can you afford a carriage?"
"I can't afford it. Seeing that the eldest young master's eyes widened, "That's why I asked the eldest young master, I hope you can let us pay us credit, and we will sell the bread to you in the future." And we can provide you with the freshest and tastier bread at the best price. ”
"Oh~ If there is no carriage, there is no freshest bread? Or are you not giving someone the freshest bread?"
"Of course not, we only serve the freshest and tastiest bread, all of them are the same. "Jia Yi began to shout MMP in his heart, I just said that, aren't the words all beautiful, although the bread sold to everyone is the same, but in front of you, doesn't it seem that your identity is different and more noble.
"We will develop new flavors of bread based on the current bread, different breads, you can receive bread that we have not officially sold yet, and even customize different breads according to your requirements. ”
If you continue to say this, do you want to sell him a membership card?
"Hahahaha, that's right! According to what you said, it doesn't matter if you give you a carriage on credit, just rely on the face of the medicine elder. The eldest young master suddenly smiled and said, it seems that the difficulties ahead are all jokes.
"Young master, don't be too expensive, we can't afford to be too expensive. Kaichi added.
"Alright, it's not early, we still have to hurry. Sjitan, you take the little family to the house to get a suitable carriage, and then hurry over. ”
After saying this, the eldest young master took two more white breads to the knight, and said, "Bring these two breads and tell them that the bread at home will be delivered by this family in the future." ”
"Obey, young master!" the knight replied, and beckoned Jia Yi and his family to follow him.
