At noon, the business started, and the food samples were still pushed out for everyone to see, but the children stopped shouting.
Just yesterday there were extra services available, today there are none.
The diners were informed yesterday that meals will be served at noon starting today, and the first 100 people will receive extra salty dried tofu.
Then they kept turning tables, and some people were even willing to carry trays to the side and squat down to eat.
These are working people, they are not fools and they know how to estimate.
It costs two or three pennies to go to other places to eat. Usually there is not a single dish available, so you have to eat steamed buns, fried dumplings, rice noodles...
For three cents here, you can eat three vegetarian dishes. The promised ration is one dish per spoon, and one portion of rice per bowl.
The child who is responsible for serving food will always give more, and the child who gives food will press it hard with the rice board.
People who buy food feel that they have earned something, and the children are so nice and simple.
Little did they know that this operation had been arranged before. Everything that you can see and move you was planned.
Of course, I have not tricked you, and Xiaqiu Village will not trick you into making a fortune.
This lunch box is just for playing with the children, exercising, and showing off to some people in the court.
If the village is short of money, will it make money by selling lunch boxes? Lunch boxes are a low-tech industry with low added profit value alone.
The current social environment makes it impossible to expand rapidly, carry out industrial chains, and penetrate into governments, industrial and agricultural institutions, and educational institutions.
For example, with Yingtian Prefecture as the center and other surrounding prefectures as targets, government school students should be given the qualification to cook.
For example, in Nanjing and Yingtianfu, there are Qinhuai River and other rivers. Everyone raises ducks, which is easier than raising chickens and geese.
Chickens eat meat, but they can't go to the river to fish for food. Geese can go down to the river, but basically don't eat meat.
Only duck is not a taboo, and anything can be eaten, so Nanjing has been the main duck producing area since ancient times.
Therefore, duck shops have developed a branch model. Wang’s old duck soup has three stores in Nanjing, which is a family model.
"I'm one of the first hundred. I came early. You remembered wrongly and didn't give me salted dried tofu." A person eating a three-cent lunch box said to the child who was clearing the table.
He was tall and round, with big eyes. He looked very... imposing?
The child glanced at the other person's tray and saw that the rice in the rice bowl was gone and the dishes were gone. He smiled at the other person and said, "Wait a moment!"
He picked up the other person's rice bowl and soup bowl and left. He came back a few dozen seconds later with half a bowl of rice, a bowl of duck soup, and a portion of salty dried tofu.
"Here, eat slowly." The child said and continued to clear the table.
The man looked at what was in front of him, pursed his lips, lowered his head, slowly picked up the chopsticks, and suddenly raised his head: "Do you have any hard work to do?"
"The water in the tank is not full." The child thought for a while and came up with something.
"Okay!" The man responded, quickly finished his meal, stood up and walked around. When he saw the well and the bucket next to it, he walked over and shook the pot.
He quickly filled two buckets of water without using the pole next to him. He picked up the buckets with one hand and asked another child: "Where is the water jar?"
"I'll take you there, thank you!" The child led the way.
The man followed him to the water tank, poured two buckets of water into it, and then came back to continue filling it.
Four times in a row, he filled up all three water jars that were not full, and then he showed a relieved smile.
He found the child who had just added food to him and said, "Let me go! Your food is so delicious."
"See you tomorrow!" The child replied with a big smile.
"I'll come to your house to eat tomorrow." The man nodded vigorously, turned around and strode away.
At a quarter before the second day of the lunar month, almost 13:30 on Zhu Wentian's time, there were only a dozen or so people eating, and the others were busy working to support their families.
The guards helped wash the dishes. They first passed them through the water, wiped them with a rag dipped in alkaline surface, then washed them clean and placed empty water on their sides.
The table is not cleared for the time being. Someone is eating. It would be impolite to remove the table next to it.
Zhu Wentian and his friends wiped the table again, including the table legs. The chief followed him: "There are still many poor people!"
Zhu Wentian turned around and looked inside. What do you mean? Was the village very rich before?
"Now that the Ming Dynasty has just been established, there are many wastes waiting to be revitalized, but the way of managing the world and benefiting the people is mysterious, mysterious, and wonderful!"
Li Chang put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and turned around. He was facing the sun just now.
"Basin, take it." Zhu Wentian shouted, help to get the basin, what are you looking at? Do you want to worry about the country and the people? You are the chief, not the chief.
"Oh." The chief turned around to help carry the basin: "I'm just bored and thinking about it. Maybe a high-ranking official thinks about this all day long, right?"
"Hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian smiled in response.
The headmaster looked around and sighed, then continued to move the pots.
When the last guest leaves, everything that needs to be cleaned is done and everyone eats.
After the meal, the children took a nap and then got up to recite and write. They also drank some cold drinks and bought a lot of saltpeter to cool down.
Zhu Wentian used sleep as an excuse to hide in the house and write. Now he didn't know what the officials in the Ming Dynasty were busy with all day long, but he knew what he was going to do.
"Promoting Putian, Fujian's salt-drying method to coastal salt lakes and its correction method" Zhu Wentian wrote a title and then the content.
At present, there are still many places in the Ming Dynasty where salt is boiled, and in Fujian there is also a method of boiling salt first and then drying it, which is not perfect.
It was slowly developed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty that the direct sun-drying of salt was fully popularized.
He took it out in advance with a purpose, not specifically to increase salt production and reduce salt farmers' labor costs.
Salt households currently have a fixed tax system. The amount of salt they pay is earned from the excess salt.
It seems that all it takes is to hand it over, but in fact the imperial court has already calculated the amount of salt produced by each salt household.
For example, in piece-rate work, each person does an average of 1,000 pieces a day. The boss uses 1,000 pieces as a standard and allows a person to earn a salary of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan a month.
Some people are smart and come up with new methods to do three thousand a day. The boss regards three thousand as the standard and allows a person to earn three thousand to four thousand yuan a month.
Therefore, there is no difference between sun salting or boiling salt for salt households. The only advantage is that there is less fire for roasting.
After writing this title book, Zhu Wentian thought about it and wrote another one, but he did not plan to send it to the court immediately.
The village chief was also not idle. He sat next to the children and wrote down the things that the village had to do step by step, such as planting garlic. Don't forget.
There is also the ginger planted in the spring. I will wait and see how it goes when I return to the village. It will be harvest time in the next half month.
At the same time, soybeans are planted on the wheat land and top dressing is applied. It's almost time for any of the village's livestock to bring their babies, so be sure to remember the silage, as the cattle and sheep depend on it in winter.
Hanhan wants to build a greenhouse, but he doesn’t know what a greenhouse is. Anyway, he needs glass, so hurry up and blow it...
The director had to take care of everything, and he didn't know what the officials were like. Anyway, he was quite busy. If Hanhan hadn't been there, he felt like he couldn't hold on.
Zhu Wentian opened the door at this time and shouted: "Meng, eh!"
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid." The director put away the paper and quickly entered the room.
