The largest iron-making workshop in Chang'an City, apart from the general supervisor, is the family of Changsun Wuji! After all, it is still an era of official salt and iron production. Even if there are private iron-making workshops, the scale will not be large.
By virtue of his status as a relative of the state, Changsun Wuji not only owns iron mines, but also can smelt iron openly. Not only that, the imperial court purchases a large amount of iron from the Changsun family every year. The Changsun family is extremely rich with its iron business. . Of course, this is His Majesty Li Er's unique favor to the Changsun family. I am afraid that there will be no other family in the entire Tang Dynasty!
However, these have become a thing of the past. Now Qiquge Workshop has become the largest "private iron smelting factory" in the Tang Dynasty. The Changsun family is the first to bear the brunt, and the business will inevitably be affected. If the other party is not Li Zexuan, Changsun Wuji is likely to Will take action to suppress;
If this time goes forward thirty years, no matter who the opponent is, Changsun Wuji will suppress him mercilessly, because by that time he has truly gained power, so how can he have these worries?
But there are not so many what-ifs in this world. The reality is that now Li Zexuan cannot be suppressed even if he wants to!
Li Zexuan, who was far away in Yunshan, didn't know what Changsun Wuji was thinking. In fact, he was worried that his ironworks would make Changsun Wuji unhappy at first. But then he thought about it, with his current status and connections, Changsun Wuji wanted to It's not that easy to deal with him. Besides, he later saved Changsun Chong's life. Even if Changsun Wuji is not grateful, he can't repay kindness with enmity, right?
If that really happens, Changsun Wuji's reputation will definitely be ruined!
However, although he was not worried about Changsun Wuji's revenge, Li Zexuan still kept a cautious attitude in his work. For example, the iron smelted from Qiquge Workshop was never sold to outsiders. This was because the daily iron consumption inside the workshop was very high. Huge, on the other hand, it was because Li Zexuan took care of Queen Changsun’s face and didn’t want to cause too much embarrassment with Changsun Wuji!
Since traveling to the Tang Dynasty, in addition to his family members and elders, Empress Changsun has also been a person who has taken care of him a lot. Li Zexuan respects this woman from the bottom of his heart!
the other side.
Unsurprisingly, all 280 bicycles were sold out in just half a day! The person who grabs the car is still the lucky one, because if he sells it casually, he can earn at least hundreds of dollars! In the final analysis, there is still a lot of food for a monk!
The number of "people who just need bicycles" in Chang'an City is still very large!
Unlike the previous batch, which only had a few dozen bicycles, there are now 280 more bicycles in Chang'an City. People can often be seen wandering around on bicycles on the streets. A month ago, that would have been impossible.
Nowadays, the children in Chang'an City have another fun, which is to wait on the streets for the "tycoons" riding bicycles. Once they encounter one, these naughty children will follow the bicycles on scooters and chase them like crazy. .
But these people are really reckless. On a very cold day, they are actually willing to ride bicycles and skateboards in the cold wind to be themselves. In modern times, they are just bad young people!

Yunshan Villa.
The New Year is coming the day after tomorrow. Although Yunshan is sparsely populated, the New Year atmosphere is already very strong. Every household has prepared all the New Year’s goods, including chicken, duck, fish, tea, wine and oil sauce, roasted seeds and nuts from the north and south, and candies and fruits. etc.
In addition to these, each household should also prepare some gifts to give when visiting relatives and friends during the New Year. Families with children have to buy new clothes and hats for them to wear during the New Year.
But for a wealthy family like the Li family, there is no shortage of this. No one would object to Lan'er wearing new clothes every day!
What surprised Li Zexuan was that the New Year's goods purchased by his family actually included bacon. He thought this was not available in the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, this is because he is ignorant. Bacon has a very long history in China. At least in the time when Confucius lived, the ancestors knew how to make bacon. Confucius had a special liking for bacon. He once said: As long as you give me ten pieces of bacon, I will teach anyone. Confucius had three thousand disciples and seventy-two disciples. If they all offered ten strips of bacon as filial piety, Confucius would not be able to eat them all even if he opened his belly.
Later, the custom of students giving bacon to their husbands was formed, but in ancient language it was called "Shuxiu", which means a bundle of dried meat.
"Tsk tsk! This fried pork with garlic core is a delicious dish! Madam, my husband will teach you how to make a new dish at noon!"
Li Zexuan looked at the bacon hanging at home and said with joy.
There are still garlic seedlings in winter, because garlic is a relatively cold-resistant crop and can tolerate short-term low temperatures of -10°C. If the temperature is below -10°C for a long time, or the weather is extremely low, garlic is prone to freeze damage and death. However, the temperature in Chang'an City is not that low this year, so it is not difficult to find some garlic cores!
This was the first time Han Yuxi had heard of this dish. She thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay! My husband, just tell me next to me, and I will cook it!"
"Hey! By the way, madam, I told you to buy more pork at home, didn't you?"
What he had thought before was that he would buy a batch of pork before the Chinese New Year and distribute some to each household in his family, just to wish for good luck in the New Year. But he found that the pork in the New Year’s goods bought for his family was not enough!
Han Yuxi gave Li Zexuan an angry look and said: "My husband, you asked for tens of thousands of kilograms of pork, do you still expect to pile it all up at home? Don't worry, Uncle Wang has already taken care of everything. He bought more than a hundred pigs and kept them in captivity for the time being. In front of Uncle Hu’s house. Uncle Wang plans to distribute the pork to each village tomorrow, and then Li Zheng of each village will personally distribute the pork to the farmers! "
"oh oh!"
Li Zexuan touched his nose awkwardly, and then he suddenly thought of the pig-killing feast in the countryside in his previous life, and said: "Madam, I will share the pork tomorrow, but I have to let Uncle Fu keep eight pigs. I plan to celebrate the New Year the day after tomorrow. , hold a pig-killing feast in every village!"
"Pig-killing feast? My husband, what is a pig-killing feast?"
Han Yuxi asked curiously.
Li Zexuan thought for a while and replied: "Well, this pig killing feast is to put all the different parts of a pig, inside and outside, into a big pot, half boiled and half steamed, and then the meat in the big pot can still be eaten. It is divided into many dishes, such as garlic white meat, garlic heart-protected pork, firewood bone pork, hand-braised liver, white meat blood sausage stewed with pickles, etc. Madam, let me tell you, don’t think so when you see so many things cooked together. The pig-killing feast is tasteless, but actually if this was done, it would be delicious!”
