There is strength in numbers, and within a few days the stage was set up.
The hardware facilities of the barbecue square are all in place, and even the entire street has been changed accordingly.
But the most difficult thing is actually not these, but the supply of raw materials.
The most commonly used meats are pork and mutton. As for beef, in the agricultural era, it was definitely impossible to slaughter in large quantities.
Then there's some chicken.
As for vegetables, there are more choices.
But we must also fully consider the acceptance ability of people in this era.
In this era, the most testing thing is the supply of food ingredients.
This era is not like that of future generations. Future generations can easily retrieve as much material as they want.
And in this day and age, transportation is hard to keep up with in the first place.
In addition, the ingredients need to be purchased on the spot. There are no large-scale breeding farms here, so they must be harvested in bulk.
And the most difficult thing is that there is no refrigerator.
Now is the hottest time, and these meats will go bad in less than a day.
Without a refrigerator, it is difficult to keep food fresh.
If you want to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, you need ice.
Jia Huan's response was to purchase in advance and constantly send people out to buy ingredients.
After buying the pigs and sheep, we first find a place to raise them in captivity.
Then wait for the barbecue day to kill and grill.
As for keeping it fresh, you have to make ice cubes.
Fortunately, making ice cubes from saltpeter is not difficult.
emmm
Jia Huan feels that in fact, the profit from simply making ice cubes is probably higher than selling barbecue.
But the profit from ice manufacturing is only temporary, but the reputation of the barbecue city can even be passed down for thousands of years.
Next, under Jia Huan's overall control, various preparations were carried out steadily.
Jia Huan naturally knows what he wants and what he is doing.
It's just that other people in Ping'an County don't know this.
The new county magistrate's various tricks made them confused and confused.
Fortunately, Jia Huan had an excellent official reputation. Although almost everyone was confused about the county magistrate's intentions, no one jumped out to object.
Just two days before the event was to be held, Jia Huan went out of his way to find hundreds of specially selected villagers.
The first choice of these villagers was from villages in Ping'an County, and their family backgrounds were not very good.
The second one is those who work hard and have a certain basic knowledge of barbecue.
After selecting the candidates, Jia Huan, the county magistrate, personally taught them how to barbecue.
During this period, not to mention how shocking it was for everyone to see the new county magistrate personally teach people to barbecue, and how many people were shocked.
In one day's work, Jia Huan finally taught these people.
On the second day, Xue Pan and his people came to Ping'an County with great pride.
"Brother Huan, Brother Ren has brought them all for you. This time I invited five of the most famous troupes in the capital."
"And I also invited Miss Caiyi for you. How are you doing, brother?"
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Brother Xue is doing something, why should I be worried? The success of the matter this time is all thanks to Brother Xue."
Being praised by Jia Huan, Xue Pan felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
He chuckled and said, "Brother Huan, I have invited you here, but Miss Caiyi said she wanted to meet you, Brother Huan."
Jia Huan smiled and said, "It's as it should be."
Next, at the county government house, Jia Huan received the oiran Caiyi alone.
The first time he met Caiyi, Jia Huan knew why Xue Pan said that this Caiyi was inferior to his sister.
What makes Cai Yi better than Xue Baochai is not her appearance, but purely her figure.
Moreover, Cai Yi's cold, pitiful, and eager-to-welcome temperament can be said to be a sure thing for men.
Caiyi and Qin Keqing can be said to be two extremes.
Qin Keqing is a charming person, and her every move always unintentionally stirs up men's heartstrings, but she doesn't mean to do so.
Caiyi, on the other hand, was so bright. Jia Huan felt that every move she made was probably done in front of the mirror countless times before she could do it just right.
But I have to say that this woman is indeed a beauty in the world.
No wonder she became the number one courtesan in the capital.
However, Jia Huan happened to be more resistant to this kind of flattery than he was to Qin Keqing's inner flattery.
Jia Huan said with a smile: "Miss Caiyi, please sit down. This time I have to trouble Miss Caiyi."
Caiyi pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I have heard about Mr. Jia's reputation for a long time, and now that I have met him, it is true that being famous is not as good as meeting him, and meeting him is worse than being famous."
"It is a little girl's honor to be able to work for Mr. Jia. The little girl only asks Mr. Jia to write a poem for me!"
Jia Huan smiled and said, "That's easy to say. When I have time, I will definitely write a poem for Miss Caiyi."
Next, the two had a conversation, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
Less than half an hour later, Jia Huan personally sent Miss Caiyi out.
Through this conversation, Jia Huan's impression of her has changed somewhat.
This brothel oiran is not just a poet, a romantic woman.
She actually has extraordinary insights into matters of change.
Although they only exchanged a few words, each word was able to hit the point, and her knowledge made Jia Huan look at her with admiration.
This also made Jia Huan marvel at this.
Sure enough, there are many strange women in the brothel.
If this woman can be an official, she will definitely be no worse than many men.
On the second day, the show officially kicked off.
The weather outside was very hot. Fortunately, Jia Huan chose a good place.
One side is close to the river, surrounded by trees for shade.
A cool breeze was blowing, but it didn't make people feel hot.
As expected, Miss Caiyi's title as the number one courtesan is not something to be concealed.
Coupled with Xue Pan's vigorous publicity, hundreds of people came on the first day.
As for Jia Huan, he counted the number of people early in the morning.
Then based on these numbers, Jia Huan ordered people to slaughter pigs and sheep, and then skewer them.
Of course, some plain skewers are also indispensable.
By the time we got there, it was almost noon.
On the stage, only the troupe was singing hard, and Miss Caiyi had not appeared yet.
This is naturally Jia Huan's arrangement, if Miss Caiyi appears first.
Then after she comes out, everyone will probably be gone, and his plan will naturally come to nothing.
Therefore, Jia Huan naturally asked Miss Caiyi to appear in the afternoon or evening.
In this way, those who came for Caiyi will naturally not leave.
At this moment, Jia Huan ordered people to put the skewers in the box and distribute them, and then ordered people to start grilling.
In just a few moments, the alluring fragrance filled the entire street.
Those young men who smelled the fragrance all secretly swallowed their saliva.
The scent almost made them cry.
