Zhu Biao looked on, quickly scooped some spicy rice oil for himself, dipped a piece of tendon into his mouth, half a step slower than Hanhan, to show his trust.
"As expected, it is spicy and a little bitter. Zhu Lichang, my father already knows about the strategy proposed by Xiaqiu Village. Someone will come to learn how to make alcohol and how to suture tomorrow.
Anyone who was injured and rescued from the Ming Dynasty will surely be recognized as the pillar of the Ming Dynasty in Xiaqiu Village.
There is another matter. Does Zhu Lichang want an iron scroll with an alchemy book? Select the outstanding children of the village. "
Zhu Biao talked about business, and this was the purpose of his coming.
"The common people thank Your Majesty for your kindness. However, the Iron Scroll of Alchemy Book is used to absolve people from sin. If you hold it, it will make people unscrupulous. If it makes a big mistake, can you avoid it?
Anyone who is good at fear must be upright in his body, speak in a certain way, and act in a certain way. He may occasionally exceed the rules, but he must not go out of his way.
The iron-volume elixir book eliminates people's awe, and people's nature cannot be guarded. Therefore, Xiaqiu Village is not allowed to obtain it. "
The director refused and said he didn't want anything, as he had said before.
Zhu Biao was suddenly startled, looked at the director, and then clasped his fists: "I would like to be taught!"
Zhu Xi also nodded vigorously.
"Your Highnesses are humble," Li Chang replied.
At this time, four dishes and one soup were served. The other dishes were easy to say, but the soup was the only one.
Zhu Biao and his younger brother Zhu Xi looked at it, and saw that a few pieces of cabbage hearts and three wolfberries were gone.
"Zhu Lichang, did you put salt in the water?" Zhu Xi asked directly.
"This dish is boiled cabbage, and the boiled water was made by our village guard Hanhan himself." The head of the village emphasized the relationship between boiled water and Hanhan.
Zhu Biao turned to look at Hanhan next to him and smoothed things over with a smile: "Hanhan is indeed extraordinary. His cooking is clean, plain and bland. Tasteless is better than tasteful."
As he spoke, he picked up the spoon beside the bowl, took a sip of boiling water, put it to his mouth, blew on it, sucked it in gently, and then...
"White, bland, tasteless! Hmm! Hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian stabilized his character beside him.
Zhu Xi also took a sip: "This... what does this have to do with cabbage? What kind of soup? There is no oil star, it is as clear as water."
"Okay, what a cabbage in boiling water, compared with Buddha jumping over the wall, it can be said that the sun and the moon compete with each other.
Soup and cabbage hearts are prepared for me. I want to take them back to share with my family. Don't tell me when my second brother arrives.
Boiled cabbage? Who came up with the name? How can you tell it's soup? Was it really done by a fool? "
Zhu Biao was convinced, feeling that Hanhan was mocking him just now.
"When I asked the prince, it was indeed done by Hanhan, and others in the village could also do it, but not as good as Hanhan, who is actually the best at cooking.
He has a simple mind, so he learns simple things quickly and doesn't think too much about other things. "
The chief gave Hanhan a reason, but he didn't care whether the two highnesses believed it or not!
"Hmm! Hanhan! Me, hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian had to speak out again after mentioning Hanhan many times.
"Good job, Hanhan, hey hey hey!" Zhu Biao also followed suit.
He believed it. Hanhan used the stick to fly the mice on the beams so accurately!
The children finished eating first and ran to have a rest. The matter of lunch boxes was left alone and the people from the Prince's Mansion were responsible for it.
The two brothers Zhu Biao drank slowly with the leader and Hanhan.
Zhu Biao rarely had such a relaxing moment. He sipped a little wine, which was slightly bitter but not nauseating. After two or three breaths, the aftertaste was sweet. This was the taste of medicinal wine.
"Zhu Lichang, that iron mine is too big. If many people dig it, the iron that the Ming Dynasty lacks will be able to make up for it.
It is thought to be a mine associated with copper and iron, and there are many mines. The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government occasionally mentioned that the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes were issued in the same way as the Zhongtong Yuanbao in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
In this way, it is not surprising that the shortage of gold, silver and copper made up for the lack of circulation in the Ming Dynasty. Is this possible? "
Zhu Biao raised a question. It is only the fourth year of Hongwu. Historically, the treasure banknotes were issued in the eighth year of Hongwu.
The idea of this matter has appeared long ago, and ordinary people have no access to it.
Zhu Ming sat upright. He had never heard of this matter. Today, his brother brought it up, explaining that it was very important. Anyway, he wouldn't know what to do if it were him.
The lieutenant glanced at Hanhan inadvertently, then picked up the wine cup and drained the wine inside, then picked up the wine bunch and slowly filled himself up.
"Your Highness, the common people have heard that people in ancient times used to barter between different tribes! There is a shell on the Houhai Beach as an intermediary for the exchange of two things.
Others use salt, fruit cores, and animal bones to make utensils, and then use copper and iron to make utensils, just like knives and coins.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, silk was used as money, along with copper. In the Song Dynasty, Jiaozi was introduced, and in the Yuan Dynasty, banknotes were unified, and copper coins and gold and silver were also used together.
Any currency has its own value that is recognized by all. If you use grain as currency, you will be full and recognized a lot! Using salt as currency can make people live and gain recognition.
Silver and copper are used as coins, and their production is limited. They can also be used as utensils, so recognition is easy.
Banknotes have no value because they are paper, they are used for credibility. Credibility is the most difficult to maintain, but if there is a gap, it will be difficult to fix it.
The printing of treasure banknotes is better than slow progress. Nowadays, there are new copper mines in the Ming Dynasty, and there is overseas trade, and the navy has not yet come out, so why rush? "
After the chief finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup again and finished it. There wasn't much wine anyway. It was only one tael after five cups for two qian, which was less than thirty-eight grams.
Zhu Biao was in a daze. After a while, he picked up the wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then poured the wine himself: "It's time to slow down."
He took a simple currency history lesson and understood the essence of money, which is an intermediate substitute for barter that is recognized by both buyers and sellers.
"Your Highnesses, it's hard to come across beef with sauce. The sauce has a strong flavor. If you want to eat braised beef, you can only get it from Xiaqiu Village."
After the headmaster finished his lecture, he changed to a lighter topic, which made him feel heavy.
"Why isn't it being marinated here?" Zhu Xi asked immediately when he heard the difference.
"The sauce absorbs the juice, but the marinade does not. The longer the marinade is, the better. A century-old marinade is worth ten thousand dollars."
There are not many people who eat braised food here. In the village, they braise a little bit every day and the marinade remains.
Sometimes some braised food is delivered here, and people from other nearby villages can bring their own things to braised here.
Regardless of whether it is meat or vegetables, 10% is left after braised, and when the processing fee is used, the actual heat and seasonings are added, and a little more is needed to match them.
However, the more brine the better, the war will stop. With the quantity and time of brine, the brine in my Xiaqiu Village is guaranteed to be the best in the Ming Dynasty.
In order to preserve the marinade, the village has three pots of marinade. At night, the three pots are divided into nine pots and stored in different places.
After a few years, Xiaqiu Village sells braised meat, so you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, leaving something for future generations. "
The head of the village introduced how cautious Xiaqiu Village was, and Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong were stunned.
"Your Highnesses, eat meat." The chief took a piece of meat first. There was no need to add garlic sauce. It tasted good when eaten directly.
"Cut some and let's take it back." Zhu Biao became even more greedy after hearing this, even though this was not marinated.
"Then I have to get it first." As soon as Li Chang finished speaking, he turned around and got up and went downstairs.
After a while, he brought two pieces of tendon meat and a knife: "Your Highness, where do you cut it?"
"Why bother... Hanhan, do it." The prince frowned and simply let Hanhan do it.
Zhu Wentian took the knife, took a look at it, and chose a place with a relatively bad taste. He cut off five slices of each, half for himself and the other, and then ate them in large gulps to prove that they were non-toxic.
There is also the sixth update. Vote! Thanks!
