Chapter 842 Hygiene Applications and More Leisure
There are still people queuing up to buy saozi rice noodles in the market below. After buying them, they go to sit on the long table and long stools next to them to eat, from Xiaqiu Village. , Eating while squatting is not good for the gastrointestinal tract.
However, there is an advantage to eating while squatting. It is easy to feel full, and then when you stand up, you will find it just right, thus saving food.
Someone else took out the fried rice they brought and put it in a bowl to catch the boiling water.
There was a jar next to the place where the boiling water was collected. Someone opened the jar and used the tongs placed on the jar to add a bunch of mustard greens, pickles and shredded pickles into the big bowl.
Others would use their chopsticks to pick up shredded pickles from the big bowl and put them into their own bowls instead of picking them directly from the jar.
"We know this. It doesn't cost any money. Why don't we give you chopsticks in a box? Just use these chopsticks and throw them away once at a time. How much does it cost?"
Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting here eating just to watch. People's lives are not based on how poor they are. He wants to find a sense of honor. The people's wealth proves that he is powerful.
"Father, the child knows." This time the third child, Zhu Fan, spoke first.
“One hundred pairs of bamboo chopsticks cost a penny, which is the price they sell to merchants on the snack street in Xiaqiu Village.
The merchants are willing to buy them, it’s cheap, and they don’t have to wash the chopsticks. Do you want to buy them? But others found it dirty and refused to eat it.
The chopsticks made in the village are definitely cheaper. The disposable chopsticks we use are expensive, costing one penny per pair, mainly because of the good materials. ”< /p>
"This is a one-time use." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his chopsticks after hearing what Lao San said.
The bottom of the chopsticks is round, and the top is square. The square place has words engraved on it, and the two sides correspond to the descendants and the magpie's eyebrows.
The words "hot pot" are engraved on the chopsticks.
"We always thought it was clean," Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the word and wondered.
"Your Majesty, it is machine-engraved and set up. These two sentences are easy to engrave. Then they are carefully screened manually to avoid burrs, and then washed and dried. It is so clean and hygienic.
Otherwise, after eating, some chopsticks will have teeth marks, and oil and other substances will get in, which will be very troublesome to clean and easy to breed bacteria.
And gold, silver, copper chopsticks. I’m afraid of oxidation, and I have to use chemicals to wash them, which makes them tired and heavy for my children.”
Li Chang told me the reason for using disposable chopsticks. The cost is not high, ten pairs of them cost one penny, and now I have money. .
Zhu Yuanzhang re-experienced chopsticks, "Well, a pair costs only a dime, and we can afford it. People must be clean when they go out. How much does the salt for pickles cost now?"
He said While eating pickles, I thought about the price of salt. Mustard greens were not worth much, so Xiaqiu Village used them to interplant with soybeans, and then harvested enough to plant sorghum.
In the process of interplanting with soybeans, the yield per mu was more than 3,000 jins, and the soybean harvest was 150 jins.
Both pickles and pickles are mustard greens, pickles are kohlrabi, and mustard is green cabbage.
While waiting to plant sorghum,Fertilizer was also added to the sorghum.
Green cabbage costs seven cents per pound. Mustard greens are cheaper than soybeans, so salt is more expensive.
"Four cents for far away places, three cents for normal places, two cents for good roads, and one cent for villages." Queen Ma knew the price.
"Okay, the most expensive is four cents. It's not expensive and you can afford it." Zhu Yuanzhang showed a naive smile.
The price of four cents per pound is in remote areas where the roads are particularly difficult and there is no local salt, so transportation fees are required.
In Henan, the price is three cents per catty, and in Nanjing, it is naturally two cents. If you live in Xiaqiu Village, you must go to the seaside to buy salt, without having to transport it from others.
There is no need for salt. There is a normal transaction tax of one for thirty, so the people can afford salt. The most salt-consuming thing is making sauerkraut.
After pickling the sauerkraut, the salt will be gone and cannot be used again.
"Your Majesty, when department stores are opened in every county, you will be able to eat salt worth three pennies in the most remote places, as well as dried salted sea fish, kelp, sea rice and other foods."
< p>The manager continued by saying that the cost of department stores is low, the salt farm is government-run, and the prices for purchasing goods in department stores are different.Department stores have special functions to maintain the Ming Dynasty price system, and some goods are even paid at cost.
The money lost by department stores was actually given to the people of the Ming Dynasty. The people sold things to the department stores, and the transportation costs of the department stores were folded in. They were given to people in other places without making any profit at all.
Its role is not just to make money, but to serve the Ming Dynasty's political system, balance the circulation of social materials, and ensure the supply of basic materials for the people.
Profitable goods account for part of the money, and the rest are returned to the people, but the overall economy of the country is improving.
After data collection, department stores control the types of crops grown by the people and the raising of livestock and poultry through specialized acquisitions.
If the people can survive, they will not rebel and are willing to cooperate with the court. The quality of life will gradually improve and the national strength will increase.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised the telescope again, "Department stores are great. People in the past didn't think that pickle shreds are not white. We understand this."
"Yes, white ones don't taste good. It will turn red after being marinated for a long time. The one we ate is marinated in sauce, which is more expensive, but it has been fried, and it is more fragrant after frying. It is a waste of pickles. ”
The manager knows how much pickles are consumed. , it was so delicious that the people ate it hard and couldn’t control it at all.
The texture and taste of white pickled vegetable lumps and red ones are not the same at all. There is no white pickle in the village, and Jubiqi does not sell white.
"Just eat. There is no shortage of money in the village. There are always people to do good deeds. Liu Jizu is good and a good person."
Zhu Yuanzhang was generous to Xiaqiu Village. He could not give Qiucun money, praise it, it's a benefit at no cost.
"What your Majesty said is true." What else could the chief say
"After dinner, let's go out for a walk. Is there any danger?"
Zhu Yuanzhang If you want to visit the market, there are too few opportunities to go out now.
Prince Zhu Biao said, "Father, generally speaking, we have sent people to investigate all the people who often live here. We are afraid that the enemy will try to inquire about the situation in the village."
" "Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved.
Everyone stopped reading and ate quickly.
Two quarters of an hour later, everyone put down their chopsticks and rinsed their mouths with tea. The guards went out first and stood next to each stall.
Zhu Wentian doesn’t hold a gun, he uses an iron stick. If the gun jams, the stick will not work.
Everyone has a small pistol, which is most suitable for close combat.
Zhu Yuanzhang and others wore village clothes and were protected in various ways.
"There are no fish sellers" Zhu Yuanzhang saw those selling pork, poultry, and mutton. The beef one depends on the opportunity, but there should be fish, but the result was not seen.
“As soon as the fresh fish and shrimps arrive, the village buys them all. If others want to buy, they have to wait. When they see someone carrying fish here, they take the first move, otherwise it will belong to the village.”
The village manager explained the situation. He couldn't keep the fish and shrimps, and some people came to sell them. He quickly bought them back and cooked them. Anyway, he had to eat them every day.
River shrimps are usually fried or braised, or peeled out and stuffed with meat. If someone wants to eat shrimp balls, they will also make shrimp balls specially.
The village eats from a big pot and has no worries about money. It is customary to keep some money at home.
In fact, there is nothing to buy from home. The cotton of the quilt is not soft enough. There is a cotton elastic machine, and everyone can help and quickly finish it.
"Why is this pig so thin?" Zhu Yuanzhang understood the fish and shrimp problem and asked in confusion while standing next to the pork stall. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
