Chapter 474 Heading to the River
When Qin An walked out of the study, he came out with a lot of paper in his hand.
"So many?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
Qin An smiled and said: "Not only canned fruits are made here, but also dried meat, bacon, cured meat, etc.
In addition, there are various ways to make pickles. There is a small kimchi country next to China. Kimchi, which is considered a cold dish in my country, has become a daily staple food, and it is even considered a royal banquet in the palace.
We laugh our big teeth off, and finally ignore such a small country.
There are also various methods of cooking and breeding of various types of seafood. "
After Qin An finished speaking, he handed the paper in his hand to Ying Zheng.
After Ying Zheng took the papers, he read them one after another. After reading each one, he handed one to Li Si. After reading, Li Si did not give it to anyone else, but collected them one by one.
The contents on these papers, when brought to Xianyang City, are each a tool for making money. How can they be handed over to others.
Feng Quji and others could only watch, not daring to think anything wrong. Even Gan Luo didn't dare to think about those papers at this time.
Qin An did not disturb Ying Zheng and the others. He drank tea and looked at their surprised expressions, feeling very accomplished.
After a while, Ying Zheng said: "Qin An, you have made a great contribution. If these things spread, I'm afraid the people's lives will be improved to a higher level."
Qin An smiled and said, "It's okay. What I'm worried about now is that there are not enough seasonings. The seasonings we have now are basically salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and various spices, but there are many kinds of seasonings we currently have. No.
Fortunately, we still have chili peppers. It would be better if we could buy other seasonings. If not, we would have to make our own.
But I will leave this matter to the chef. There are already a lot of chili peppers in the village, enough to make chili sauce. "
"Chili sauce? Why can't we just use chili pepper? Why use chili sauce?" Li Si asked.
He felt like Qin An had taken off his pants and farted.
Qin An smiled and said, "You will know when I make it. The method is actually very simple.
I will ask someone to make a batch of glass bottles and lids, and then I will make them for you to see. I will take a few bottles back when I go back. "
"Okay, let's wait." Ying Zheng said.
"By the way, we agreed to cook river food for you today, especially the famous dish of live fish in vinegar. We also have other dishes, but we need fresh ingredients. For this reason, let's go to the river to catch fish." Qin An suggested.
Catching fish in the river? Everyone was stunned. It was unseemly to go fishing in the river with their status and they must not go.
Just when Li Si and others wanted to refuse, Ying Zheng smiled and nodded: "Very good, let's go catch fish. I have never caught fish before."
When Ying Zheng was a hostage before, it would be good if he could survive, but it would be impossible for him to go down to the river to catch fish.
As for Li Si and others, not to mention, as nobles, how could they personally go down the river to fish.
However, there are exceptions, and that is Zhang Han and Meng Yi.
One of them is a military general, and the other is from a family of military generals. Both of them are informal and often take off their clothes to bathe in the river with the soldiers, let alone fish.
"We will eat whatever we catch today. If we can't catch it, we can only eat the stocks. The fish, shrimps and crabs in the stocks are not as fresh as the ones we just caught." Qin An explained with a smile.
"Why are you still standing there, Lao Zhang, call a few more people, and we'll all go down to the river to fish together." Ying Zheng stood up and said.
"No." Zhang Han responded.
Then Qin An called out the three girls Ying Yin and Man, and told them to prepare the side dishes, and they could make them immediately after they caught the fish.
Immediately afterwards, Qin An took out some fishing nets and other tools from the room, as well as some bait.
"Qin An, didn't we go down the river to fish? Why did you bring so many things?"
Qin An smiled and said: "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. It is okay to go down the river to catch fish, but it may be very difficult to catch fish with both hands.
Hard to catch.
So we can choose to use a fishing net to catch fish, or we can choose to fish, and finally choose to go down the river to catch fish. "
"Then what did you mean by going down the river to catch fish?" Ying Zheng said, "I've already asked Lao Zhang to call someone."
"Just call. We will catch fish upstream and downstream. It takes time for me to place these ground cages. If I'm lucky, I can have the goods in one afternoon. If I'm not lucky, it will take two or three days. It usually takes two or three days. .
So I will put these tools into the river temporarily today and wait for a few more days. The brothers are the main force in catching fish.
If they can't catch any fish, we can't be jealous of the live fish. If they catch a few more, everyone can enjoy them. Qin An explained.
Ying Zheng suddenly understood and said: "I see, then let's go to the river now."
"good."
Then Qin An took Ying Zheng and more than twenty Black Dragon Guards to the river.
Qin An said to the twenty Black Dragon Guards: "Brothers, today I plan to make live fish. If you want to eat it, everyone can catch the fish. The more the better. Of course, the bigger the fish, the better, and they can only be carps. It can't be done without carp.
But it doesn’t mean that besides carp, we don’t want other fish. I want fish, shrimps, crabs, river clams, turtles and turtles. I want everything in the river.
The more you catch, the richer the night will be. Do you understand, brothers? "
"Understood." A group of Black Dragon Guards said in unison, their morale was like a rainbow. Qin An looked very satisfied.
Ying Zheng is accustomed to it. If the Black Dragon Guard can't even do this, is it worthy of becoming the Black Dragon Guard?
Ying Zheng said: "You are here to catch fish. If you catch the fish and throw it into the barrel, be sure not to let the fish die, especially the carp."
"No." Everyone responded again.
Afterwards, Qin An, Ying Zheng and others went downstream to fish, leaving the upper reaches to the Black Dragon Guards.
After arriving downstream, Qin An placed all the prepared cages on the ground.
"Father-in-law, this is a good place. After they mess with it upstream, the fish will come to seek refuge downstream, and maybe they can swim directly into the underground cage I prepared."
"So that's what you had in mind when you asked them to mess around with it." Ying Zheng suddenly realized.
Meng Yi said: "Sir, are you using the art of war?"
"What is the Art of War? This is just a normal thought." Qin An said with a smile, "Don't look at everything in the Art of War.
If you really like to watch The Art of War, I will give you a set of thirty-six strategies. "
"What are thirty-six strategies?" Meng Yi asked.
Ying Zheng and others also became interested. They had never heard of the Thirty-Six Strategies.
Qin An smiled and said, "The Thirty-Six Strategies are the wisdom of the ancients. They were not done by one person, but were put together into thirty-six strategies.
However, these thirty-six strategies are just a summary, and it does not mean that China only has these thirty-six strategies. "
