Chapter 665: If others don’t eat, I will eat it

So, Li Longji first said to the owner of the shop: "I agree. You can follow behind, or I will pay you money to go to various places to see the local pasta. Oh, what are you doing without that? You will follow me later and I will take you to see Xiaobao.

Haha, Xiaobao is very researchy in making more food. I believe your skills are far inferior to him. You have never seen them. Xiaobao’s pasta for his younger brothers and sisters is Xiaobei and the others. There are all kinds of pasta. Have you seen dragon beard noodles with stuffing in the middle?"

The owner of the shop shook his head vigorously: "Your Majesty, what is dragon beard noodles? Is it noodles? Can there be stuffing in the middle?"

"The dragon beard noodles are very thin noodles with filling in the middle. Xiaobao made them by hand for Xiaobei and the others. After a morning, one person only got a bowl at noon. Xiaobao was exhausted and kept muttering that technology is productivity, haha."

Li Longji thought of Zhang Xiaobao's appearance at that time and burst into laughter.

The owner of the shop was confused. How could it be? When you heard the name, you could imagine how thin the noodles were. You could imagine how thin the noodles were. There was actually filling inside? Unless Xiaobao was not a human being, how could he get the filling in?

But since the emperor said that there was, he naturally would not deceive himself into the owner of a small shop. He also heard that it was very difficult to make, but he would not do it even if he had to make it.

Scratching his head, the shop owner said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, will Caomin disturb Xiaobao when he goes to see Xiaobao? Xiaobao is busy with all kinds of things in the Tang Dynasty all day. If Caomin delays it, Caomin will not be able to afford to be guilty."

"He is not busy. He is busy for a while. When there is something, they are busy. Now they are idle. Juanjuan is idle and has nothing to do. Embroidery, and Xiaobao is thinking about what to eat. I am with them almost every day, but I don't know. After that, I'll eat noodles later. You follow me, just stay by yourself, the guy."

Li Longji decided things like chatting with someone with similar status.

The owner of the shop was so excited. What day is today? First, I saw the emperor, and then I could meet Xiaobao and Juanjuan. Who would believe it when I said it? What I dare not dream of in my dreams is Xiaobao and Juanjuan.

Wang Ju was not very happy. When he heard others calling his grandson and daughter-in-law, he felt uncomfortable. Can someone who had non-*** name them?

But he was very helpless, because everyone in the Tang Dynasty, from the 80s to the old men and women who learn to speak, was called this. Children are usually called Xiaobao brother, Sister Juanjuan, and adults just call each other directly. They never add a surname in front of them, giving people the feeling that two children have all kinds of surnames.

"Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, respect it." As he thought about it, Wang Ju reminded the shop owner indignantly.

It scared the boss and dared not speak out.

Li Longji spoke, "What are Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan? It's Xiaobao and Juanjuan. It's not your turn to say that you are your grandfather, and his own grandfather didn't make any noise. Xiaobao and Juanjuan are Xiaobao and Juanjuan of the Tang Dynasty.

You are also respectful. Your name is Wang Ju. Now you stand out and ask ten thousand people to call you. I have given you. How many people respect you? Do you want others to call you Ju Ju, and others will take care of you?

Just like your son-in-law who you didn’t like at the beginning, Zhang Zhong, who would call him Shangshu? He was called governor Zhang and magistrate Zhang. I was envious. When could the people of the Tang Dynasty call me Emperor Longji?"

"Yes, it's the minister who is stingy. When he thinks that it's the minister who is close to them, it's uncomfortable for others to call me." Wang Ju said quickly. He also knew that behind the name of the people of the Tang Dynasty was a special kind of closeness. It was not just a person that the people of the Tang Dynasty were willing to mention.

While talking, the shredded pork noodles were ready. In fact, they had already prepared just now. When they were talking, they didn't dare to give it to them. Now, taking advantage of the gap in speaking, the guy brought it with a new tray, three bowls, one bowl of Li Longji, one bowl of Wang Ju, and one bowl of Gao Lishi who was standing at the door and not coming in.

As he greeted Gao Lishi in, Li Longji picked up a pair of new chopsticks and ate it directly. No one needed to check it out. The actions of the owner, the client and the chef in the store just now proved everything.

The owner of the shop was in a very happy mood when he saw the emperor eating. He was not worried about the bad cooking. No matter how bad the chef made it, the taste was not much worse. He waited for the emperor to take a bite and looked up and said, "Actually, the seafood noodles here taste more pure and cheaper, and many people like to eat it."

"Well, this noodles... can be eaten, it's not that I'm picky. I'm waiting for you to see Xiaobao and eat what he cooks. You will know why I commented like this. What do you think of Lis?"

Li Longji took a bite, then lowered his head to continue eating. Thanks to the small bowl, he really couldn't eat the big bowl. Along the way, he only ate what Zhang Xiaobao made, and his appetite had long been raised. If it weren't for setting an example that would not be wasted, he wouldn't have eaten it.

Naturally, Gao Lishi would not ask someone to try whether it is poisonous first. He took a bite and said, "Your Majesty, I think the noodles are good. The heat may be because I waited a little longer. However, why did this shredded pork be fried? Instead of blanching it? It has a little more oily flavor.

There is also the scallion, which is cut from the scallion, not the scallion, which lacks the unique sweetness among the scallion. The noodles are ramen, not hand-rolled noodles, which is not chewy enough to eat."

Li Longji was not idle, but just nodded slightly to express his agreement. He didn't think about it before, but later when he met Zhang Xiaobao, he could always see how Zhang Xiaobao looked when cooking and asked casually. Zhang Xiaobao gave an answer, don't look at a bowl of noodles, there were many words inside.

Wang Ju didn't have the chance to eat what Zhang Xiaobao made, and thought the noodles in this shop were pretty good, but when he thought of His Majesty and Gao Lishi's evaluation, he was full of yearning for what his grandson made.

The owner of the shop was confused. The emperor and some other ministers had a very good taste, right? How can I make it after eating it? It turned out that the fried meat tasted much different from the blanched meat.

Three bowls of noodles were eaten by three people, and there was no waste, although Li Longji and Gao Lishi were not comfortable.

After calling the owner of the shop, the group continued to walk towards Wang Ju's house. At this time, Li Longji kept testing the people. He had heard Xiao Bei tell the story of the wolf coming. If he really tried again and again, it would be dangerous when the time came, and the people would regard it as an exercise, so it would be troublesome.

Because eating noodles wasted time, when the group arrived at the house, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already had a nap for a while.

Zhang Wangshi didn't come out to greet him, and hid in another room to make small clothes for the unborn children. They don't know how many children they have in their belly, so they have to make a few more sets, plus Wang Juan made them, I believe they can use them.

When they entered the courtyard, Li Longji asked someone to find Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. As soon as the two entered the door, Li Longji said, "Xiaobao, eat noodles in the evening, and you want to eat shredded pork noodles. You can make it."

"Why don't you eat seafood noodles?" Zhang Xiaobao saw someone next to him whom he didn't know, and looked over with excitement and asked Li Longji.

"Shredded pork noodles are delicious. This is the owner of a soup cake shop. I want to discuss the making of soup cakes with you. You will talk to him later."

Li Longji arranged a job for Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't know what was going on, but since he came here to discuss, let's talk about it later. He couldn't refuse others, so he nodded and said to Wang Ju: "Grandfather, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Wang Ju wondered.

"I have seen the question of our mulberry trees in Hangzhou. In addition to the meeting gift you gave me and Juanjuan, our family is on the mountain here, and there is also a large area of ​​mulberry trees for raising silkworms.

However, that forest has been growing too long and it has been getting worse every year. It seems not worth using it. I think it is because of this that you did not give the forest to me and Juanjuan.

What I mean is, cut off all of them and use the wood to do other things, so that you can get some of the capital back. Then you plant tea on it, buy seedlings from other places, grow quickly, and then carefully take care of them, and tea will be produced next year.

I asked the people from Sinong Temple to follow up on this tea planting. It is a place of experimentation and a pilot project. If it is good, it will be promoted to the surrounding areas. No matter how huge the tea production in Hangzhou is, it is far from enough to satisfy the entire Tang Dynasty.

In addition to this, I have also specially designed some ways to eat tea, which is eaten as a dish, and then you provide it here, we are responsible for the sales, or you are looking for someone to sell it.

In addition to this, there are also silkworms that need to be raised. Add cicadas. Then I have a few recipes for cooking here. You open a store and we specialize in eating green silkworms. Now people basically don’t eat them. Add sea cabbage that no one touches in Shanghai. They also need to find someone to pick them up. Then make new dishes, canned food, etc., and sell them to various places.

If there are a large number of stinky fish and rotten shrimps on the beach, don’t ignore it. When collecting it, it is not for people to eat it. After it is dried, it is added to the poultry feed to supplement nutrition. This is the first thing I have set up a place in the north of Hebei Road and my family will take over it.

Cut down other trees, don’t move for a long time, plant economic forests, cut down and plant them in a planned manner, and make finished products, such as sanitary chopsticks and papermaking, to increase our family’s income.”

When Zhang Xiaobao said this, he stopped talking, look at Wang Juan.

Wang Juan took the speech and said, "What I mean is that, since there is no land at home, then go to the place where the Turks were staying in the past to develop, and send a few people in charge, we provide potato seedlings and plant them there, and the yield will be very high.

Waiting for us to continue fighting, the people in our family must also keep up and see where they are good. Anyway, it is a sparsely populated area, and once it develops, even if the transportation costs are high, it can still make a certain profit."

Wang Ju listened to what Zhang Xiaobao and the other two said, and knew that he was clear about what he meant. He must have seen the gift he gave and knew that it was difficult to have a good time after taking out the money at home, so he immediately thought of the idea of ​​making money, and it was divided into several types of return periods.

The fastest return is naturally the silkworm breeding and the fishing of sea cabbage in the sea, and then the process of stinky fish and rotten shrimp into feed, followed by next year's tea, followed by potatoes in the area occupied by the Turks, and once again, the economic forests in the northern part of Hebei Road, waiting for the war, and then follow the past to get benefits.

Thinking of a series of things to make money, Wang Ju's heart was up and down. He stood up, walked to Zhang Xiaobao, raised his hand to touch Zhang Xiaobao's head, and said, "Xiaobao, back then..."

"I didn't expect potatoes to develop so well at the beginning. In fact, the best place is the north of Hebei Road, which is a piece of black soil, but the road is too difficult to walk. It is not as good as the one occupied by the Turks. Most of it is grassland, and then transported to Fengzhou and descended along the Yellow River.

Whether it is eaten directly or made into starch and vermicelli, it is a good choice. The smelly fish and rotten shrimps on the beach here can actually be cheated and made into shrimp paste. They can’t taste it, but I don’t agree. It’s better to make it into feed, as it will be very big in the future.

This is suitable for coastal areas. If the poultry in the mainland doesn’t eat it, the eggs will become soft, and some can’t even stand up. Let’s take a look at the silkworm’s green worms. I’ve been looking for it in the past two days. Some of them should have grown up. Then make it for you to taste it, and you will know how it tastes.”

Zhang Xiaobao knew what Wang Ju wanted to say, but he couldn't let the other party say it, so he took it over and said something else.

When Wang Ju saw Zhang Xiaobao doing this on purpose, he stopped talking. He just wanted to understand. He would talk about it when he arrived in the capital and met Zhang Zhong.

Then he nodded: "Xiaobao, how do you say you are? Grandpa, I will listen to you. I believe that the people in the family will not object. How to make sea cabbage delicious?"

"Of course, I'm making pickles. If you need chili noodles, it's not cost-effective to feed them to pigs and ducks. If they are dried, they will be sent to the mainland. It can also help to supplement iodine. I can't add iodine to the salt now, otherwise I'll add it, which can prevent big neck diseases, but if you have it, you can't eat it."

Zhang Xiaobao is very clear about the function of sea cabbage and sea intestines. People nowadays don’t like to eat them very much, but in the future, the price of this thing is so high that it makes people feel unbearable that someone comes to breed them.

"Sure, listen to you." Wang Ju didn't consider whether what Zhang Xiaobao said was feasible. Since it was Xiaobao's words, how could it be bad?

Li Longji also listened from the side, with a smile on his face, and then said, "Xiaobao, others care about your family asking for some potatoes. You are so pushing you, but this time he actually took the initiative to give it away? Wang Qing is an official, isn't it?"

"Okay, I'll go there to grow potatoes. After planting, I'll sell the seedlings first and make money together." Zhang Xiaobao had to compromise.

At this time, Wang Ju asked again: "Xiaobao, what are you planning to plant the land you gave to you? It's all good land."

"We are planning to hire people to help with planting at a very high price. What we plant depends on what other people are growing in the local area. If there are many others who have grown, we will not plant it. Just right, Your Majesty, I have something to talk about, about the land issue of my Tang Dynasty."
