Chapter 10 Lingguo Tea Eggs
Zilin's father is a professor of Chinese medicine, although he has not formally studied Chinese medicine, but the family is full of books on this subject, and he has a little knowledge of Chinese medicine.
Therefore, he used three or four first-class spirit fruits with spices and salt to make a tea egg recipe that was very simple.
The situation of the students in the Taoist Academy, he also asked Dean Jin about one hundred and six people living in the Taoist Academy, one hundred and ninety-six people are day school, the family situation is either rich or expensive, these students are between eight and sixteen years old, from the state of meditation to the foundation realm, according to the children of this age, there are many people who do not like to eat breakfast, so the market prospect is still expected.
The reason why he is determined to do this business is because he likes to eat tea eggs the most, and when he was a child, stealing the family's precious tea leaves and boiled eggs was his specialty, so his hobby can also be realized.
After entering the city, he felt more and more that the mainstream of this world was the cultivation of the true full form, no matter where he went, he could feel the breath of cultivation, as a student of economics and trade, he deeply knew the truth that there is a market and there is a market, since this world needs cultivation resources, it can only start from this aspect.
He asked Lu'er to cut the red silk cloth into the size of a handkerchief, Lu'er was very distressed, thinking that he couldn't even make such a belly pocket, and asked him what he was for, but he didn't say, and he was busy until the evening before cutting more than 300 handkerchiefs, and his hands were worn out.
In the early morning of the next day, Zilin woke up from his cultivation, he did not make great progress like yesterday, but sought victory steadily, stretched his limbs and was energetic, finished washing, and began to tinker with Lingguo tea leaves and eggs in the kitchen.
After a while, the fragrance filled the entire courtyard, Zilin went to write an advertisement, and Xiaobai ran into the kitchen.
Zilin held a wooden plaque that read: Ancestral secret recipe, spirit fruit eggs, if you eat it, strengthen your body, prolong your life, ten taels of silver a piece, only sell for one day, don't wait if you miss it.
He went to the kitchen to break the skin of the egg to make it more flavorful, and when he entered the door, he saw Xiaobai standing on the stove burping, and a dozen egg shells were scattered in front of him.
Zilin looked at it happily and said, "Is it delicious?" Xiaobai nodded, "Great, I can get your approval, which means that this egg must be a best-seller" and then began to further process the remaining eggs.
At more than six o'clock, there was an extra table opposite the Taoist Academy, on which there was a cauldron and a stack of silk handkerchiefs, the heat was steaming and the aroma was overflowing, Zilin stood at the table and looked at the groups of students opposite, talking there.
Zilin shouted loudly: "Walk by, don't miss it, the real spirit fruit boiled eggs!
As soon as I heard that there were more than a dozen students around Hula, this one said to give me one, and that one said to give me two, Zilin wrapped it in a silk handkerchief and handed it to them every time, and by seven o'clock a pot of eggs was all delivered.
Lu'er watched him happily give eggs and wondered, this was bought with money, and Sipana was the best cloth used to make a cloth bag for eggs.
Zilin beckoned her to come over to help, packed up his things, and he made an earth-style breakfast, tea eggs and millet porridge.
When eating, he found that Lu'er's hand was broken, so he asked her what was going on, Lu'er said that it didn't matter if the silk handkerchief was worn out a little skin, Zilin came to the backyard faΓ§ade and found a pair of scissors on the counter, he picked it up and saw that it was actually a cross-strand type, that is, the two ends of an iron bar were sharpened into a knife blade, and then bent, squeezed hard when used, and the blade was staggered to cut things, no wonder the deer's hand was worn out.
"Lu'er doesn't need to cut silk handkerchiefs today, my brother will make you a good pair of scissors and continue. After Zilin finished speaking, he took the scissors and went out.
He came to the blacksmith shop, explained to the boss how to make modern scissors, ordered a hundred, why are the scissors used now not tired is to use the principle of leverage, thinking of the principle of leverage, he asked the blacksmith to make a pressurized water device, worked all morning, and got back two modern scissors.
Through this small incident, he realized that if he wants to live back to the original state, he must constantly transform the old and backward things in this world, but he does not plan to make this world completely become the shape of the earth, and it is the ideal society for people and nature to live in harmony and not to pollute the environment.
He intends to make people's lives more convenient on the basis of not affecting the world environment, making money is just a way of life, and the sense of achievement brought is a high-level enjoyment.
When I got home, I called Lu'er over, took out the scissors and demonstrated it, and Lu'er was very happy to try it.
Since he plans to make a difference in this world, there must be no shortage of talents around him, and he will never be able to do great things alone, so he went to find a teacher in the afternoon to teach Huzi and Luer to learn basic knowledge.
When I was looking for Mr. Teacher, I encountered a lot of difficulties, because this world regards the cultivation of the truth as the mainstream of the society, and the main purpose of reading and reading is to cultivate the truth, so most literate people are cultivating, including those who are on errands in the county government.
There is no school here, there is no Guozijian in the country, and the imperial examination is also about cultivating knowledge, most of these literate people come from the private schools of their own clan, and the teachers are also highly respected monks of their own clan, and there are very few literate ordinary people, and the basic education is simply miserable.
The Mr. Lu he was looking for, frail and sickly since he was a child, although he learned the basic knowledge in the clan, but his cultivation has not progressed, he only introduced the spiritual realm in his thirties, the government did not want it, and the family did not let him go to the Taoist Academy to continue cultivating.
In this way, when Zilin found him, he was unwilling to come at a high price, because teachers in this world are temporary workers or free, only serving their families, and ordinary people have no money to hire teachers, and the direct consequence is that there is a serious shortage of basic educators in the face of society.
Mr. Lu didn't earn a tael of silver a month, Zilin directly offered three taels of silver, he came without saying anything, Zilin secretly inquired about his character and found that the reputation was very good, so he asked him to copy the "Baicao Collection Notes" again, anyway, the book is not very thick, he can also draw, and it will be completed soon.
Mr. Lu was very surprised when he saw the "Hundred Herbs Collection Notes", it turned out that the rich guy in coarse cloth clothes was a monk, he was embarrassed to ask the realm, for fear of hitting himself, but his attitude was more correct, and Zilin told him that the matter of copying books must be kept secret, and he also felt that keeping it secret with the monk was the greatest trust, so he worked hard to teach.
Zilin follows the class schedule of a normal primary school, each class is 45 minutes, and he learns four class hours a day.
The next day, Zilin still gave free Lingguo eggs, but all the hundred eggs were delivered in twenty minutes, and a few students came late, and they didn't even see Zilin's shadow.
Then he asked Huzi to go to the gate of the Taoist Academy to listen to what the students who got the eggs had to say.
Huzi came back and said: "Brother, they all praise you for being a good person, but I didn't expect to give them such precious eggs to eat every day, and their family is reluctant to boil eggs with Lingguo." β
Zilin: "Do you want to say anything else?" "They said that this egg is so delicious, it is simply the most delicious food, but I don't know how long you can send it, in fact, I also love to eat Lingguo eggs, let's not keep sending it." Huzi said.
Zilin said with a smile: "Of course not, there is no free lunch in the world, and tomorrow we will even take it back with interest." β
Huzi scratched his head and said, "Brother, you said something I don't understand again, what does lunch mean?" Zilin said with a smile.
Huzi scratched his head and thought, obviously it has been two days for nothing, isn't this a waste of food.
He sometimes followed the lectures, and found that Mr. Lu taught very hard, and the two Huzi siblings also learned very slowly, for example, the language began with the interpretation of words, and the explanation of each word was very slow, and only four words were taught in the morning.
So he memorized the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text in the afternoon and asked Mr. Lu to record it.
Mr. Lu: "Childe, you asked me to write an article that rhymes, but why haven't I heard the story here?"
Zilin thought that it would be strange if you heard about it, so he explained with a smile: "Mr. Lu, do you think you should teach them to read and write quickly in the previous way, or memorize them first according to the three-character scripture I wrote, and then you will teach them word by word?"
Mr. Lu pondered for a while and said hesitantly: "It should be your method that is fast." β
"Okay, Mr. Lu, you can teach according to my method, and I will tell you the story when I have time. With that, he went about his next plan.
Leaving Mr. Lu scratching his ears and cheeks, pondering how to teach the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text" well.
Early in the morning of the third day, Zilin still appeared on time opposite the Taoist Academy, the same decoration, but there was an extra wooden sign in front of the table.
The students didn't need to greet at all, they took the initiative to surround there were forty or fifty people, Zilin didn't speak, picked up the wooden sign in front of the table and showed it to the students, and immediately a straight male student asked: "Didn't you taste it for free, why did you collect money today?"
Zilin smiled and said, "I let you taste it for two days, right?" The man nodded, and he continued, "Have you ever heard that gold has a price, but spirit fruit is priceless?" and as he spoke, he scooped up the spirit fruit in the pot with a spoon and showed them, and everyone nodded to indicate that they had heard of it.
"Lingguo, everyone has seen that it is a genuine Lingguo, and the eggs are also real eggs, I boiled eggs with priceless things, and only sold them for ten taels of silver, which is not expensive, your family gave you ten taels of silver, can you buy Lingguo eggs?" Zilin asked aggressively.
It was still the straight male student who said: "Of course not, because who would be stupid enough to boil eggs with spirit fruit." β
Zilin grinned and said, you are so straightforward, I am a big fool in my feelings. He pointed to the wooden sign and said: "Dear students, please see that you will only sell for one day and don't wait, I am not a fool, just one person to enjoy the exclusive secret recipe, it is better to let everyone enjoy the delicious food, solo music, it is better to be happy, right, I am not a monopoly, I can only let everyone enjoy these three days, in the future, I want to eat and cook it at home, but don't be discovered by adults, hum the consequences you know." β
The students all laughed when they heard what he said, and those who had brains reacted quickly, and their brains made up the picture of boiling eggs with spirit fruits, which was simply a violent thing, so it was strange not to be crippled by their families.
Think about ten taels of silver is really not expensive, so one after another people pay for eggs, one takes the lead and there is a second, this is the herd mentality, as long as you can break the habitual thinking of others, the transaction is a matter of minutes.
Some students borrowed money from others without bringing so much money, and some particularly wealthy students even bought a few more to bring to their families.
In ten minutes, Zilin received 1,000 taels of silver.
Mr. Lu and Huzi brothers and sisters were dumbfounded in the store, when someone questioned Zilin at the beginning, Huzi wanted to rush out to escort him for fear of being beaten, and was stopped by Mr. Lu, he wanted to see how Zilin made a deal of ten taels of eggs, for a person like him who earns less than one or two silver a month, it is a fantasy, but the result is that not only was he not beaten, but everyone rushed to buy it.
What's even more interesting is that as soon as they finished eating at noon, twenty or thirty students and their parents came to the door one after another, and Huzi was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the door, thinking that the parents of these students were here to find fault.
As a result, people came to buy Lingguo eggs, and of course Zilin didn't sell them, but these parents held his billboard and said, "This is your own handwriting, right?"
Zilin nodded, and the man continued: "You clearly wrote that it will only be sold for one day, how can you stop selling it in the morning, you are too untrustworthy." β
Zilin asked Qingtian speechlessly, but he had no choice but to deliver another hundred and fifty eggs in the afternoon to pass the test.
