Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

Why didn't Zhao Jue feel that he had anything to be grateful for? He just borrowed Pang Yu. It's hard to say, he can't tell people that the cub he raised had a dream, and there was a grandfather with a white beard in it. Sweet potatoes?

Forget it, maybe his brother will find someone to exorcise the evil spirits when he hears about it.

Of course he was the one to protect the cubs he raised, not to mention that the cubs also trusted him, so they took out these things.

I was lucky enough to buy a whole wounded cow that was not rescued today, and paired with the potatoes dug up today, and tomatoes to make two delicious food.

Anyone who has tasted such a delicacy will never forget it. When Pang Yu saw the tomato sirloin being served, his eyes sparkled, beef!

Hey, when will the freedom of beef be realized in ancient times!

But in this era, there is a serious shortage of labor force, and cattle are even more indispensable. If it is modern, it will be directly a tractor, let alone how fast it is.

In this way, not everyone can use cattle, and the government has provided some people to rent cattle to cultivate land, but it is still too little.

Don’t even think about eating, there is not enough arable land, all of which are eaten by rich people, who will plow those lands?

In the past, it wasn’t that no one liked that bite of beef. Those who could afford beef were rich and powerful. Would they care that the poor did not have cattle to cultivate land?

nonexistent!

Only then did the imperial court promulgate that the slaughter of farm cattle is strictly prohibited. Once found, it will be dealt with severely!

I don't know about other places, anyway, Bianjing City is still managed very strictly. Even a young man like Zhao Jue will only wait for the opportunity to buy injured cattle, because he understands the importance of farming cattle.

Compared with ordinary playboys, the young man, as a child of the old Zhao family, understands that people depend on food.

Otherwise, he would not vigorously promote sweet potatoes and other things. The first time he ate those, he understood the importance of promoting these things.

It's just that he has wronged his cub, what kind of greedy will he become after eating a piece of beef.

But he has raised pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, but the cow, there is no way to let the cubs eat it. Well, he also likes beef, but he is tired of mutton.

All the courtiers who built the regiment were full of praise for the pork, it tasted so good!

There was even a suggestion that it would be great if I could get a few catties of pork in my monthly salary.

After hearing this, Zhao Jue thought it was okay, and it wasn't impossible.

If pork is used to replace part of the salary, then he will have a fixed source of customers, and the officials have seriously thought about it, and it seems that it is not impossible.

And it's a pig farm run by his younger brother, so he can really support it by the way.

Go back and find someone to discuss!

That's how dynamic it is!

"I'm sorry, I didn't let you eat enough beef." When did Zhao Jue treat Pang Yu badly, but there are too many people today, and three hundred or so people share a cow, so it's not bad to get some meat.

"It's not Brother Jue's fault, so there's no need to apologize." Pang Yu asked curiously, "Why are we so few in Song Dynasty?"

In fact, in modern times, beef has only achieved relative freedom in recent decades.

"Actually, there are few sheep, and they are all bought from the grassland next door." Zhao Jue thought it was quite normal, after all, they are not suitable for grazing in the Central Plains.

"Then do they raise cattle?" Pang Yu is more concerned about cattle. He doesn't need cattle for plowing, he just wants something to eat!

"Should I raise it..." Zhao Jue had never been to the grassland, so he didn't know the situation there, so he couldn't tell the details.

"It would be great if I could buy cattle from them." Pang Yu said, holding his face.

"Generally speaking, they don't want to sell." Zhao Jue laughed at the little guy's drooling face.

"The exchange? I have seen it in my hometown before. If you need something, you can exchange it with others." Pang Yu asked again, blinking his eyes.

"We can't give them what they want." Zhao Jue remembered something, and said to Pang Yu with a serious face, "Remember, never let your opponent become stronger."

"Oh?" Pang Yu asked with a puzzled face, "Then how can we become stronger ourselves?"

"Then let's wait until we get stronger." Zhao Jue didn't believe it himself.

"But, I still want the cow. Did they really want anything else?" Pang Yu asked unwillingly.

"I'll send someone to investigate." In fact, after being reminded like this, Zhao Jue really wanted to know what the people of the grassland needed.

Pang Yu promised to wait. Anyway, he could get what he wanted anyway. He wasn't worried at all. In a country with a vast land and abundant resources, how could he not be able to exchange cattle from the grassland?

This is certainly not scientific!

However, being stuck by the surrounding grasslands and other restrictions such as horses, cattle and sheep, it is really difficult to move forward. It's not that they don't want to, but because there are no horses, it is difficult to do other actions.

This is beyond Pang Yu's control. All he can do is to study hard, work hard during the exam, try his best to get the best grades, and work hard to earn merits along the way.

Treat yourself with delicious food in your spare time, and you don’t need him to do it yourself. There are chefs in the small kitchen to do it. Whether it’s knife skills or fire, they are much better than him. After all, they are professionals.

Every time Pang Yu wanted to touch the knife, Zhao Jue was worried that the cub would chop his claws.

Of course, it is still tossing pork, who makes more pork.

This time, he made dried pork that he likes, as well as dried meat floss. The pork has a hint of sweetness. He wants to grow sugar cane again. Ordinary sugar is really not that good.

Honey is still relatively difficult to obtain. In ancient times, bees seldom cultivated by themselves. Pang Yu remembered the honey box, so he would make one later!

For his honey freedom!

It's a fight too!

So those who are greedy for beef, can you say that you have eaten it?

He is busy making delicious food every day. After several experiments, the pork jerky was finally born, which won unanimous praise from the small kitchen!

Zhao Jue was the first to taste it, and all of them were modified according to his taste. The opinion of the thigh must be obeyed!

Bianjing City has quietly added a shop selling dim sum, which sells rare dim sum, which many people have never seen, mainly because of the shape of the shop, which others have never seen, and the dim sum inside is also small, with a daily limit The cream cakes served, as well as ordinary chicken cakes for two bites, and of course delicious pork jerky.

Free tasting on the opening day, don't mention how grand it is.

Those who have tried dim sum, not to mention the limited supply, even the chicken cake, many people weigh a few catties and go back to taste for their families.

As for the pork jerky, many people bought it. Compared with chicken cakes, pork jerky is real meat!

No one doesn't like meat these days, and the price is not too expensive, which is within the range of ordinary people.

Zhao Jue's restaurant also had a crispy pork belly, and it was because Pang Yu was forced by the imperial doctor to not let him eat fried food, so he would eat roasted food instead!

The crispy pork belly appeared like this, and people with good teeth were full of praise for it.

By the way, let the chef of the restaurant learn it, and it appeared on the menu of the restaurant.

All the windows in Zhao Jue’s palace were replaced with new ones, not for anything else, but the glass was finally finished, but it was not suitable to be installed on the original windows, so these windows were all re-carved, and then Snap the glass in and install it.

The light in the room became brighter at once, not as oppressive as before, and it saved a lot of money. You must know that ancient candles were not made like modern ones. They used animal fat and wax worms. It can be said that secretions are not so easy to obtain.

Now it is much simpler, it can be extracted from oil, let alone let him refine it now, he can't even get oil!

Therefore, after the room is equipped with glass, the frequency of using candles is greatly reduced, so it is a saving.

"It's really different." The palace people chatted excitedly after seeing how bright the room was after the windows were installed.

"Yes, I didn't expect that this glass is not only beautiful, but also so practical, but I don't know if it is expensive or not."

"Shouldn't it be cheap?" After saying this, they remembered that although glass is much cheaper than colored glaze, it is still not affordable for ordinary people.

Pang Yu was very satisfied with the window, and turned his head to flirt with the young man, "Brother Jue, bright!"

"Then you can't just tell me to rest your eyes every time you write for a while." Zhao Jue said amusedly.

……

Did he cheat himself? !

Forget it, there are many excuses for being lazy, it's just that one is missing, it doesn't matter!

Recently, the government has been very busy. It is not an easy task to promote crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corns after changing the previous leisurely way. Fortunately, many ministers have tasted the sweetness of this crop. The main taste is good and can fill you up. Stomach, some ministers are willing to plant in their own fields.

However, there are still a large number of people who are only willing to grow a little food for themselves, and if it is promoted, this thing is worthless.

Zhao Jue listened a few times, those people's hearts are really dirty.

"The official uncle is so pitiful." Where there is Zhao Jue, there is naturally Pang Yu, he couldn't help sighing.

"Who says no? Everyone wants to sit in that seat, but who knows that this seat is so easy to sit in." Zhao Jue murmured, but Pang Yu couldn't hear him clearly, "It's a pity that I can't help third brother What's busy."

"Yeah, it's a pity that I don't have any money, otherwise I would have bought land and planted it." Pang Yu said with a regretful face.

yes!He has silver to buy it!

Turning around, Zhao Jue sent people to other provinces to buy fields, hehe, he didn't believe it, he bought land to plant, and he couldn't promote these good things?

The young master has nothing else but a lot of money!

For a year, the imperial court used Bianjing City as the center to pave roads with cement to the surrounding towns, which greatly shortened the previous distance and reduced the wear and tear on the wheels of the carriage.

The people sent by Zhao Jue came back quickly, not only brought the land deed, but also brought back a message, that is, people in the grassland like the dried pork, whether it is sweet or spicy.

This meant that the pigs raised by Zhao Jue could be used. He could trade pigs for cows!

Continue to ask your subordinates to contact the prairie people and find someone who can speak well. As long as things can be done, a reward of one hundred taels is not a problem.

The people below worked even harder, their lords are full of atmosphere!

Motivation comes only when there is profit. Zhao Jue used some memories in his dream to get rid of those who would have two intentions. He knew it would not work, but did he still keep it for the New Year?

Pang Yu didn't expect that the pork jerky he made in the small kitchen could help them exchange cattle. Isn't this incredible?
