There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 14 Laoganma Flavored Bean Drum

Rufen Town was built along the official road and has a somewhat special geographical location.

Because it is an official road, there are many merchants who come here to look north and south. However, since Rufen Town itself does not have any special products or other resources, the only function of this town is to provide rest for merchants on the road.

There are many, many towns like this on Zheng Wan Road.

Not to mention the distance, there is Jiangdian Town between Rufen Town and Xiangcheng County, and Rufen Town is not far from Xiangcheng County, nor is Ye County to the south.

Under normal circumstances, unless the merchants are in a hurry, they will choose to stay overnight in Rufen Town at night. After all, Rufen is just a small town, and the accommodation facilities inside are definitely not as good as those in the county.

As for the name Rufen, although there is a tomb in the name, it does not mean tomb.

Tomb has another meaning, that is, embankment, that is, the highland by the water, and also the meaning of a river dam. The origin of the name Rufen Town is a highland by the Rushui River.

Rufen Town is located in the lower reaches of the Fushui River, which flows into Rushui. In ancient times, the Fushui River also belonged to Rushui, so the name of Rufen Town comes from.

Although there are many merchants here, they are also highly mobile. For publicity, it takes a long time and unremitting efforts, which is not as fast as a stable mobile circle.

As a result, in the first half of the afternoon, Li Chu's business was not very good.

There was no one there, and only in the middle of the afternoon did someone come. This merchant was a regular customer from yesterday, and he had to stay in the town for an extra day because of a breakdown in the shaft.

In terms of eating, Chinese people have always had a tradition.

Where there are many people, just go there!
This point is especially obvious in later generations, especially in Chengdu, Sichuan, which can be called crazy.

There are diners eating here, which can play an attractive role. In addition, the merchants who travel here and there often meet and meet each other, so this back and forth, until the end of noon, Li Chu's restaurant business has not stopped.

Not only that, but at the Fushui Inn next door, a guest ordered two dishes to be delivered.

Although he was busy this afternoon, Li Chu noticed that there were many smiles on Axiu's face.

This is the kind of happy smile from the heart.

"I said, Brother Li, I really like your thing called chili. I often go to the south to do business, and the Huguang area is humid and miasmatic. Every time I go back there, I feel very uncomfortable all over my body and lose my appetite.

I tasted your chili pepper today, and the dampness and coldness all over my body subsided completely after being spicied by the chili pepper, and my appetite was greatly stimulated.

I don't know how long this pepper has been stored, can I sell some to someone, if I have this pepper to help, I am afraid that this trip to Huguang will be much easier. "

Sell ​​chili?
The businessman surnamed Zhang in front of him is an honest person. Li Chu also knew the effect of this pepper, but he forgot it for a while. He didn't expect that this person would be able to eat the effect of pepper, and he didn't hide the reason why he wanted to buy pepper. .

No business is not rape!

This sentence has been used to the extreme in later generations, but for the people of the Northern Song Dynasty at this time, each has its own standards in terms of morality, and this person in front of him is a good businessman with a sincere conscience.

If it were a businessman like Zhang Laocai, he would only ask you where this thing came from, and he would not even tell you the reason for this strange thing.

It's just chili peppers. Li Chu will naturally not be stingy with this kind of conscientious businessman.

Anyway, he has customized a lot of chili peppers, so it's okay to give some to Boss Zhang.

But when Li Chu took out a large bag of dried red peppers from the cabinet under the cart and gave Zhang Luo a catty or two, Li Chu stopped.

"In this way, Boss Zhang, you can find an empty stall or an empty jar, which is easy to carry and can be covered."

Zhang Luo was dressed as a Confucian scholar in his 40s, with a mustache around his lips. He pondered for a while, then got up to look for what Li Chu needed.

There was a certain reason why Li Chu asked him to find the jar.

Items such as plants and crops can be purchased in the customization system. There are 2 prices. One is for food. This type of custom purchase is very cheap, but it cannot be planted.

Yes, although there are seeds in it, they are all restricted, and they cannot grow even if they are planted.

The other kind is normal, which can be planted and used as seeds. The price of this kind is very high. It is affected by the survival rate and social factors in the Northern Song Dynasty. For example, tomatoes, potatoes, and hybrid rice are not available in the Northern Song Dynasty. The purchase price is very high.

But if you only use it for food and don’t need to grow seeds, it will be very cheap.

The ones purchased by Li Chu belong to the first type, which can only be eaten but not grown.

The storage time of fresh peppers is relatively short, so Li Chu took out dried red peppers, which are the same size as millet peppers, which can be stored for a long time.

Just now Li Chu wanted to give this to Zhang Luo directly, but he found a problem.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was basically boiled. Things like chili can be fried to bring out the inner spiciness. Can Zhang Luo be expected to fry it when he goes to Huguang?

Moreover, Li Chu had to thank Boss Zhang for opening a new business channel for him.

Sell, Chili, Sauce!

That's right, it's selling, chili, sauce!
The flow of merchants in Rufen Town, and the traffic arteries connecting the west and the south, plus there are merchants here, simply provide the most natural market for chili sauce.

As for selling that kind of chili sauce, do you have to think about it?
Of course it is popular all over the world, old, fuck, mom!
In the customization system, the recipe for Laoganma flavored bean drum is only sold for 1 custom coin. This recipe includes all the products in the Laoganma brand series.

Cheap, good conscience.

I asked the system why, this secret recipe, in the eyes of the system, is nothing more than a recipe, and it is sold for 1 custom coin because it is the minimum purchase value.

well.

If it weren't for the items customized by the system, they couldn't be directly used for sales. Li Chu would like to use the system as a production factory directly. However, Li Chu also has his own considerations.

There is one item involved here, glass.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, colored glaze was a luxury item, not to mention this kind of transparent glass, and it was also used in the packaging of spicy food. Once the inside is not well controlled, with Li Chu's current strength and influence, will crash.

The peaceful life will definitely be broken, even though he has a tank and is not afraid of any enemy.

But what about Axiu, Yang Cheng, and Yang Kang?

As a result, the changes brought to the family are definitely not something Axiu and the others can bear at once.

Therefore, for the sake of Axiu, despite having tanks, Li Chu chose to use a calm and low-key approach in the early stage, first to stabilize his own development, and then to slowly plan.

Glass can't appear in large quantities, at least it must have a stable strength first, and it can't appear in large quantities, let alone using it for food, which is considered a luxury in the eyes of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Remember, there is a folk kiln in the south of the town.

After a while, Zhang Luo found a wine jar for wine, about fifteen centimeters in diameter, not very big, but hemp rope could be tied on both sides, so it was easy to carry.

The altar has also been washed, and the seal is to tie the oil paper to the recess of the altar mouth with hemp rope.

Li Chu nodded, indicating that this thing is fine.

Li Chu had already chopped all the dried chilies that he took out earlier.

Among the seasonings, Li Chu still stored some bean drums. Originally, the bean drums in Laoganma were made of soybeans, but it would take a certain amount of time. I'm afraid we can't wait that long now, so Li Chu simply added the seasoning beans Take all the drums out.

Ginger, garlic cut into pieces.

Crush the peppercorns.

After the ingredients are ready, start frying step by step according to the details in Laoganma's recipe.

It doesn't matter if it's fried or not. When it's fried and fragrant, people on the street all day suddenly turn their heads and look this way.

Hey.

Li Chu smiled with everyone and added some water to it.

It didn't take long for a pot of old godmother to be made.

Zhang Luo's eyes were stunned. He saw Li Chu's action. As a businessman, he quickly understood Li Chu's intention, and looked at Li Chu with gratitude.

The freshly made old godmother is still warm, so it is not suitable to put it directly on the altar, so Li Chu took him aside to let it cool.

Here he picked up a small dish, took a little out of it, and put it in front of Zhang Luo.

"Try how."

Li Chu didn't wait for Zhang to drop his chopsticks, so he picked up a little bit with the chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Well, it's still the same taste as before.

I miss it so much.

Zhang Luo also took a little and put it in his mouth...

Well, Zhang Luo's eyes widened, and the taste in his mouth exploded instantly.

Fragrant, sweet, spicy, numbing, Zhang Luo didn't know how to describe it. When he saw Li Chu frying, it was obviously spicy, but the first sip when he was drunk was not spicy, but a kind of taste that he had never smelled before. , tasted fragrant, spicy.

After the aroma, before it became spicy, he could feel a hint of sweetness, but before he could really feel it, the spiciness erupted and exploded, accompanied by a hint of numbness.

A second after eating, a gust of heat rose in the body. This kind of heat is different from dry heat. All the cells in the whole body are transmitted by this kind of heat, which is very refreshing, refreshing, and joyful.

It's winter, Zhang Luo's face is already sweating after a few mouthfuls of Laoganma chili sauce.

Cool!
The spiciness of this sauce is more enjoyable than the chili fried pork that I ate before, and it makes people feel hotter and more comfortable.

What makes Zhang Luo even more enjoyable is that when he thinks of this food, this little brother Li specially prepared it for him to go to Huguang. And prepare.

What moved me was that this little brother is really a real person. I just bought a little chili, but Brother Li thought more about it and directly made such a spicy sauce for himself.

In winter, it's cold outside, and this dish cools quickly.

Li Chu felt the temperature on the pot with his hands, and when there was no heat rising, he carefully poured the old godmother into the empty jar little by little, filling the jar just enough.

Zhang Luo covered the mouth of the altar with oiled paper, and wrapped a hemp rope around the notch of the mouth of the altar.

"Brother Li, what is the name of this pepper?"

"Old godmother."

Old Godmother?
This name is really strange, Zhang Luo scratched his head, how did such a delicious food get such a name?

Li Chu saw his doubts and explained: "This dish is the unique skill of my godmother. She is not in this world now. I miss the godmother's craftsmanship very much, so I miss it."

"So that's the case, my brother is filial, the old lady will definitely be moved in heaven."

Li Chu smiled. He just thought it would be weird if this old godmother changed her name.

"Brother Li, I don't know if these ten taels of silver are enough for the meal and this old godmother?"

Zhang Luo took out an ingot of silver from his sleeve and put it in Li Chu's hand, but Li Chu pushed it back.

"If Big Brother Zhang doesn't dislike it, Li Chu is willing to call you Big Brother, today's meal money, Big Brother came here to cheer, how can you say such a vulgar thing?
This old godmother is the food therapy that my brother prepared for my eldest brother to go south, and it is my whole heart. "

Zhang Luo's face turned red, and he was even more moved. He pushed the silver in his hand forward, but it couldn't be pushed, so he couldn't refuse anymore.

"Since that's the case, then Zhang Luo has recognized you as a little brother."

……

Zhang Luo took the old godmother and left.

Li Chu was playing with an ingot of ten taels of silver in his hand.

Brother Luo Zhang is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. When he was leaving, he unknowingly put the ingot of silver on the side of the trolley and sent Zhang Qi away. Li Chu discovered this ingot here. Ingots of silver.

business, both good and bad.

There is treachery and sincerity.

Zhang Luo is such a good businessman worth making friends with, honest businessman!
