Chapter 160: Home-cooked dishes are the most refined

Chapter 160: Home-cooked dishes are the most exquisite

Zhang Zhong was not surprised at all when he heard his son telling his intention. He had long been accustomed to his son and daughter-in-law's abilities. No wonder he had to stop in Kaifeng to buy seeds and farm tools. It turned out that he had already calculated that he would encounter any trouble after he arrived at the place.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." Zhang Zhong gently pinched his son who opened his eyes wide and curiously listened to his brother's conversation with his father, and got up and prepared to leave.

"Dad, don't worry, it's enough to delay two days. Just do it the usual way. First, let someone secretly transport the seeds and farm tools to each county. Dad, please contact the merchants who are responsible for two things here to talk to them. Listen to what they say. If you delay for one more day, they will use another strategy one day later. The child can wait for the other hand to prepare for it."

Seeing that his father was going to implement it immediately, Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly stopped him. His arrangement was still a little short of time. He was afraid that the local people would be broken when they saw the plan, so he immediately used another plan.

Zhang Zhong thought about it and nodded in agreement. Isn’t it just to have a meal, drink and drink with the local people, and then look at their faces. It’s simple, and see what they can do.

When Zhang Zhong left, Wang Juan curiously approached Zhang Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, how did you know they wanted to do this?"

"I didn't know that I just prepared what might happen in advance, just using common means. There are only a few ways to make things difficult for officials in the local area, and they will never be separated from them.

When we came, we were preparing for both ways. If we were to make things difficult for this, we would give things. We would not have to make things difficult for this time. We also had to give them. If we didn’t have to use new plows, we wouldn’t all the people could plant good seeds. Didn’t Li Longji send my father here just to raise the tax?

Our family paid the tool money and seed money. I would like to give him a satisfactory answer. It would be better to use the name of the Li family's clan. He has received more taxes and a good reputation. My father's next term, I want to go to Luoyang. There are two government teams. Luoyang's power struggle is not as bloody as the capital, so I can adapt more to it."

Zhang Xiaobao explained to Wang Juan, and Wang Juan nodded in understanding. She really thought Zhang Xiaobao could do it, but it turned out that it was an arrangement based on historical experience.

In the shell, I dipped some coconut oil pearl paste with my hands and gently applied it to both sides of my younger brother and sister’s nose and around my mouth, and said, “Be careful when feeding fruits in the future, rub it against my mouth and wipe it, and then wipe it off. Look, it’s all red.”

"That's for drying. Can you still burst with skin if you use a small shell that costs 100 cents? When the court on the north side stabilized, a factory was built there to transport shells from the south, and to the place where cattle and sheep in the north and various animal fats were used to make hand-protecting things, and sell them back to the north."

Zhang Xiaobao changed his brother's position, shook him gently, let him sleep, and told Wang Juan casually.

"It's okay to stick a piece of tin foil with a wooden box, why not use shells?" Wang Juan kissed her sister's face, and got a series of giggles.

"That's different. The ones sold are shells. There is no sea there. Usually, places such as lakes or water bubbles are called Haizi. When using our products, the shells in the sea are a symbol of identity. If the meat is not convenient to transport back and forth, choose a place around the local area to dig a cellar and freeze it."

"Why are you frozen so much jerky? Want to hit the market?" Wang Juan heard something else from Zhang Xiaobao's words.

"It has nothing to do with the market. Let's freeze it. It can still be eaten after two or three years. It will take longer than it can be stored in canned food." Zhang Xiaobao's eyes looked to the north and said mysteriously.

Wang Juan thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out what Zhang Xiaobao was going to do to stock up on meat. He said, "It's better to make some canned food. There is not much technology, and the sealing and air pressure are easy to solve. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to leave a deflated mouth. Then pinch it with pliers while it's hot.

I found that there are many local meats that can be eaten inexpensively, especially fish. Because of the inconvenience of transportation, the price of meat in places with less meat is too high, and ordinary people cannot afford it."

"If you don't do it, you can't afford it. Rich people can eat no matter how expensive the meat is. Your method can only be used to the middle class. The poor people still can't eat it. There is no railway or highway. If you transport a ton of canned food, you will not consume two tons of food.

Even if you transport it by water, what can I use to make the canned scalp? Use iron? If the iron is not valuable, there will be no such many wood wheels. The bagels on the outside of the wheel are wear-resistant."

"Then don't do it. Find more craftsmen to burn kilns. Most people use wooden bowls. The buckets and water tanks are made of wood. They are inconvenient to use and can easily breed bacteria. Why don't you sell the soap we make? You can use it at home."

Wang Juan estimated the price of iron, gave up the idea of ​​letting more people eat meat, and instead asked about another soap that could be used normally.

Zhang Xiaobao put his sleeping younger brother on the small bed next to him. "It's not that he doesn't want to sell it, but he doesn't dare to sell it. The glass is not really sold much now. The price is very high. Most of the glass made produces other things we need, or it's just giving it to others.

If you were such a high price, wouldn't you worry about it? Especially if that thing can make telescopes, Li Longji is seeking stability now, and all the heroes of the past have been cleaned up. Even my grandfather, whom I had never met, and my grandfather, would have cleaned up. If it weren't for the time being, my mother wouldn't have run out.

Oh, when I said that, I remembered that when I passed by my great-grandfather's house, I didn't go to see it. It was my grandfather's father-in-law's house, which is the Yangtze River. It's a good place. Tea on the top of Mengshan Mountain, and the Yangtze River is in the heart of the Yangtze River. Let's go and see it."

"I don't like to drink Mengshan tea. I'm not used to drinking black tea. I guess the spring water in the middle of the Yangtze River is heavy water, which is water with a lot of minerals. With black tea, it's the sand in your mouth. What should you do if you haven't mentioned soap yet?"

When Wang Juan heard the tea on the top of Mengshan Mountain, she trembled. She had drunk it before, but it hurt her stomach as soon as she drank it. Later, she refused to drink black tea and only drank green tea. She could drink some of the semi-fermented ones occasionally.

"When we have a large pig farm, we can give Li Longji the prescriptions, and when he makes money in the first half of the year, we can follow us and sell them. This thing consumes daily necessities, and the wealthy family has been using it all the time. Our method is to add things at a lower cost and make faster.

The consequence of mass production now is that many people cannot eat lard and fat intestines. The key is food, or pig grass. In the past two years in Shuzhou, I will continue to teach local people how to raise pig, duck, fish.

As long as this time is successful, the court should promote it to more places suitable for using this method, and early cost investment is a problem."

Zhang Xiaobao wants to use his own approach to influence more people, and now officials can at least do something practical.

"I think the biggest problem is that the population is too small. As long as there is a little disaster or something, it will have a great impact. There is a small population, the productivity cannot be improved, the total amount of survival resources is small, and there will be a fault when social resources are allocated.

Just like many small countries, the per capita living standards are high, but once a special situation occurs, hundreds of billions of dollars can make the country bankrupt. When a nationwide disaster occurs, the country will be over. After a big country and the means of production complement each other, a region will be affected by the disaster, and the loss can be transferred to other regions. The larger the base, the more stable it will be. If hundreds of billions of dollars are thrown in, it will not even splash a splash."

Wang Juan has his own opinions.

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case. In fact, it was because of the backward production technology and could only rely on the number of people to make up for it.

"No matter what, wait until my father's position is high enough, let's go and go to Grandpa Bi to study." Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand and asked the maid to come in and look at the little guys, and went out to study with Wang Juan.

Zhang Zhong also arrived at the place at this time. He didn't have much work since he took office. The copywriting and booklets left by the previous officer were piled up after piles of books. It was a pity that this trick was useless to Zhang Zhong. He could help organize and check it out if he called fifty people from the inner courtyard.

Luzhou was not in vain. The inner court who had followed the theory-based people in Luzhou to train and had already understood all aspects. Now Zhang Zhong is full of confidence. Giving him a state capital without any officials, he can immediately use the inner court to support all the county government offices, and when the ward guards are released, even the yamen runners are there.

It would be useless for anyone who wants to use a large number of documents to suppress him. Not to mention people who are specially trained in this direction, even the side dishes in the kitchen usually hum and follow them, as if they were in the middle of the water.

All is because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan want to build a family background. Zhang Xiaobao’s ultimate requirement is that the pig-raising people of the Zhang and Wang families can be admitted to the imperial examination, which is better than the same literati because they can’t raise pigs.

This is indeed not difficult for the Zhang and Wang families. They both compiled the difficulties into booklets that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had learned, and explained them in vernacular. Unlike the Master who taught people who pretended to be profound, it was obvious that very simple things were complicated.

The inner courtyards of the two families can discuss with each other in normal times. If they don’t know how to meet, they can just find their wife and Zhang Zhong to ask. There are also Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. If the family doesn’t know anything, then they will look for Old Man Bi. Old Man Bi can’t figure it out, and Zhang Xiaobao will ask Old Man Bi to ask someone else for a question.

Old man Bi is Bi Gou. He was a left-handed clerk, a middle-shu shen, and also served as the governor of four prefectures, Tongzhou and Shanzhou, Runzhou. He served as the chief secretary of Yizhou and the chief censor. He was the title of Wei County. He served as the Minister of Personnel and the Governor of Guangzhou. When he arrived in Sanshui County, he was the Yin of Henan, the Minister of Revenue and the Prince Zhan.

If he encounters a scientific problem that cannot be solved, it will be a big problem. Even Li Longji in the court has to ask about it. As long as he encounters an unanswered question, countless people in the court will follow suit and write down this problem and teach others afterwards.

In addition to admiring Old Man Bi's character, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also have academic ideas. The two concluded that his existence is a legend, and he is a treasure house when he is alive, and he is at the same level as the giant panda.

People from the inner courtyard of Zhang and Wang's family grew up in such an environment. They have been learning for seven years and still have experience in practical work.

Not to mention a mere prefecture, even if all the officials in Luoyang were dead, they would pull the inner courtyard of the Zhang family over and all departments would operate as usual.

This is real wealth, and Zhang Zhong became much more relaxed because of this. In addition, there are two little gods in his family. Not to mention going to a Hongmen Banquet, even if the sky falls, Zhang Zhong also believes that the two families can survive.

"Governor Zhang is here, Governor Zhang is here." Zhang Zhong walked very leisurely along the way, with only three people following him, one book boy, two guards armed to the teeth, only four people, and he had no airs. He was far inferior to his father-in-law.

This place is twenty feet away from the restaurant, and the merchants in the restaurant rushed out and rushed to the front to say hello, with real smiles on their faces.

Zhang Zhong knew that such an opponent was the most terrifying, and it was more than a hundred times better than the people he met in Luzhou at that time.

The governor must look like a governor. Even if he has not taken a bus because the distance is not far, he must show the temperament of a third-rank official. He nodded slightly and walked towards the restaurant. The people around him were one step behind and followed him.

The restaurant is called Omi, but it is actually far away from the river. It is not too short on the third floor. If it is an ordinary uninformed official, he will be shocked by the bright paint outside the restaurant. The most important thing is that there is a separate platform on the third floor of the restaurant, which is more than two meters high and has a staircase above, which can be placed for drinking.

Zhang Zhong also came for the first time, mainly because someone was decorating his house a few days ago, so he installed a high platform. You don’t need to ask, and you can tell that the wine and food inside will not be cheaper.

The restaurant owner also accompanied him at the farthest place next to him, hoping that the new governor would know his strength.

Unfortunately, they met Zhang Zhong. What did the Zhang family do? It was just a three-story restaurant with bright lacquer. Can an extra two-meter-high platform soar into the sky?

I didn't know, I went to the water and clouds to see it, like a dream, and went to the sea and clouds to see it. The sea tide accompanied the moon, and it fell from its momentum, and it could not touch Zhang Zhong's heart that could tolerate the little god.

The three-story restaurant in front of him is not as good as the entertainment building of four little guys for Zhang Zhong. In just half a month, Xiaobao and Juanjuan made a matching terrain, including mountains and water, reflections of pavilions, gurgling streams, parrots and swallows dancing, green grass, waterfalls and rainbows, mushroom tree houses, wind chimes, and wind chimes, and winding corridors.

This is because my son and daughter-in-law are afraid that water mist will be bad for the little guys, otherwise they will still be able to see the scenery of rain and mist.

The four little kids don’t understand, but adults understand that as long as the place is enlarged and the house is built, it will be another fairyland on earth. No matter which one you see, you will be attracted, but outsiders can’t see it at all. In the words of the son and daughter-in-law, this is the style of aristocratic family. Dan is dedicated to his work and does not act ostentatiously.

Compared with the casinos of their own restaurants, the third-floor Omi Building became a vulgar decoration in Zhang Zhong's eyes. Without any praise, he walked in.

The owner of the restaurant was the most sad, but he had to serve him carefully. The group went straight to the best table, and the restaurant also made a recipe to give it to someone to order food. There are few other restaurants in this situation, and it is usually the case with the guest, after all, some people are illiterate.

The recipe was pushed in front of Zhang Zhong, and a businessman smiled and said, "Sir, if you order food, you can order it here as long as you want."

"Really? Okay, I will choose two light dishes, one is cucumber peeled and the other is stinging with old vinegar. It is a year old stinging with old stinging. You can watch the others."

Zhang Zhong really didn't make things difficult for others. These two dishes can be eaten at home at will, especially cucumber peeling. He likes to add more sesame sauce, which is refreshing.

He didn't order high-priced dishes such as bear's paws and deer lips, so he could only taste them occasionally at home. His son and daughter-in-law didn't let him eat them too much, saying that the fat and cholesterol were too high.

He ordered it easily, and the guy was in a dilemma. There were no two dishes here at all. I didn’t know what it was to peel it. Haizhe had, but Chen Haizhe, who had not been a year ago, thought it was not just the end of the matter. There must be some explanation.

When the merchant saw the expression on the guy's face, he knew what was going on. A businessman who specialized in making plows immediately smoothed out the situation.

"Sir, it's better to order two meat dishes, it's not good to be too vegetarian."

Zhang Zhong also understood that if people don’t have these two dishes, they will make people feel embarrassed if they say it casually. Just meat and vegetables are meat and vegetables, which is still something they often eat at home.

"Give me a fried black fungus and stewed with stewed marmalade mushrooms, and then add a slice of mutton with smooth sautéed mutton."

Two dishes, usually home-cooked dishes, have fungus inside. It’s right to listen to your son and daughter-in-law, eat fungus and mushrooms more.

The guy was stupid again, there were meat and sheep tenderloin, but I had never heard of such a dish name. Where can I get the fungus and the monkey erectus mushroom? I have never heard of the fungus before, and I know it, but I haven't received the fungus at this time.

That thing doesn't mean it is always there. The governor is the governor. The food he eats is different from others. He specifically chooses what others don't have, and what they want.

The guy thought so, but he didn't know that governor Zhang was used to eating more at home. If you want to eat something special, you had to look for ingredients first, such as braised tiger steak, so you had to leave a few months to find it. Isn't it difficult to order such dishes? Just see dishes every day at the dinner table at home. It's really good to eat, and it's not to be arrogant, well, not to be arrogant.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm late, I'm sorry for my crimes." Just when the client was in a dilemma, another person came in outside. The Shuzhou director joined the army and the military in charge, and was also responsible for monitoring each other with the governor.

Zhang Zhong did not expect that the recorder could come even if he joined the army. This was wrong. Why should he come late? His governor was the largest. No one in Shuzhou was qualified to wait except the prince Li Xun of the county lord, and Li Xun would not be like this. He always gave the junior tribute when facing him.

Therefore, Zhang Zhong nodded slightly and did not speak, so he knew about this.

The recorder also knew that Zhang Zhong was not satisfied, so he laughed and drove Zhang Zhong to another place to sit alone, saying to Zhang Zhong: "Sir, I have just heard of this. I have just been busy allocating troops. I am afraid that there will be too much rain this year and that the flood here will be flooded. I hope that the Lord will forgive me."

The other person apologized, but Zhang Zhong couldn't continue to face his face coldly and said, "It's okay, put the people first in everything, can the dishes be cooked?"

The following words are naturally asking the guy.

The signature smile on the guy's face has changed. Can you do it? I don't know what to do?

When the record officer saw the guy's face, he didn't wait for him to ask, someone next to him whispered the four dishes he had just said. He immediately understood and said:

"Just put the signature dish on it, but I actually asked Lord Zhang to talk about the name of the dish. After eating it, I swallowed the leopard's courage? Mr. Zhang's house has countless restaurants in Shuiyunjian. Is it a place where you can answer the right answer? The four dishes are just ordinary dishes that Lord Zhang usually eats at home. Why don't you go there quickly?"

Zhang Zhong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the recorder knew him so well. He nodded to the guy.

The guy then breathed a sigh of relief and rushed out as fast as possible to make signature dishes. The shock in his heart did not disappear at all. The new governor was actually from Kaishuiyunjian, and the recipe was still learned from other people's Shuiyunjian. Now he met an expert. If he couldn't, he had to talk to the masters and show his skills. He didn't expect the adults to praise him. As long as he didn't find faults, it would be fine.
