Chapter 105 Ye Hua's Industrial Upgrade
Yang Ye was very curious, "General Zhao, are you—afraid of Lingtang?"
Zhao Kuangyin frowned in pain, "It's not that I'm afraid. My father died early and has caught up with the chaos of war. When I was a child, my mother fled with a shoulder pole. She sat in front of me and my second and third brothers in the back. My mother's shoulders were swollen and her feet were covered with blood blisters. She ran for half a month before she found a relative. It's so difficult for my mother to do so many years."
Yang Ye said, "You are a filial son... Otherwise, I will teach the Marquis the Yang family's marksmanship to the Marquis. You should stop betting."
Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a moment and rejected Yang Ye's kindness.
"I think you should keep it. If Ye Hua takes a target, he won't be able to escape... I have intuition, I'm afraid I'm going to lose!"
Yang Ye was jokingly told by him, "Champion Hou is so powerful, do you still have to bet with him?"
Zhao Kuangyin scratched his head and smiled silly, "I'm just curious about what method he will use to bring the store back to life. This matter is more interesting than winning or losing!"
Yang Ye was silent for a moment, and suddenly rode his horse to catch up with Ye Hua. He also wanted to join the gambling game, and he was willing to lose even if he lost!
When Ye Hua met two big fools, he shook his head. Yang Family Gun and Taizu Changquan, then I'm not polite!
Ye Hua returned to the capital and handed over Wang Jun's body. After the Ministry of Justice inspected and confirmed, Guo Wei issued an edict, sending Wang Jun back to his hometown in Xiangzhou for burial. At the same time, he gave Wang Jun's wife 100 gold. He adopted a nephew from the Wang family and inherited the incense for Wang Jun. The little guy is only 5 years old this year and knows nothing. Guo Wei gave him an official position in Shangzhou Sima, who has a monthly salary and can be free of food and clothing.
Boss Guo’s actions made many veterans feel a little comforted. The saints still talk about old feelings, but Wang Jun was ungrateful and was just trying to die!
Such a major event that should have caused a huge storm was silent, making people sigh that Guo Wei was really destined to be, and his status as imperial power became more and more stable.
In fact, the reason why Wang Jun was not followed and his relatives were betrayed by others was that he had a greater relationship with Ye Hua.
He fought in Linzhou very well and killed the Emperor of Liao. In contrast, although Wang Jun commanded tens of thousands of troops, he had no achievements. He sat down and watched the Northern Han army slip away under his nose. Many of Wang Jun's subordinates complained, who would not bring victory and glory to everyone, would he be willing to follow him!
In addition, Guo Wei sent Guo Chong and Feng Dao to accompany Wang Jun to the battle. No one knew what these two did... Perhaps Guo had planned to take action against Wang Jun a long time ago, and many things were done behind their backs. From this point of view, Guo should take the word "foresight" as the word "foresight"!
After successfully eliminating Wang Jun's forces, Guo Wei convened the main civil and military officials to discuss this year's national affairs. The core of the focus is to enrich the country and strengthen the army. From the 16th day of the first lunar month, there are imperial meetings almost every day.
Li Gu, Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Xue Juzheng, all of them were out of their arms, actively offered suggestions, and the court atmosphere was completely renewed.
Others were busy, and Ye Hua was not idle either. He called Zhao Kuangyin and Yang Ye, "Since we have made a bet, you must follow my arrangements. Within three months, the shop will be alive. Even if you lose, what if you lose?"
"No problem, I'll listen to you. What are you doing now?"
"Nothing to do, eat something first!"
Ye Hua smiled and pulled two people. When he arrived at the braised chicken shop he opened, he ordered three large portions. It was Yang Ye's first time. He noticed that there was a free rice banner on the wall and was shocked!
"My God, it's not over yet, it's closed!"
The young man who greeted the guest patted his chest proudly, "The guest said it well, this is the first braised chicken, and others have learned it from us, but now, in the whole capital, the one who dares to add rice for free is our family! Others can't learn it even if they want to!"
Yang Ye was skeptical. He ate five bowls of rice in a row, and then he believed that what his friend said was true.
Why can’t others hold on? Where is the secret?
Ye Hua took them to the back garden of Ye Mansion again. Last year, Old Mrs. Ye shoveled all the flowers and plants and planted vegetables.
Let’s look at it again this year. It’s even more lively than last year. There are many chicks and ducks in it, running around, furry and very cute.
Zhao Kuangyin and Yang Ye watched it for a long time, but they didn't understand why.
Ye Hua didn't expect the two people with extra muscles to figure it out, and said directly: "Look, are there any hens?"
"Yes, there are so many chicks, but no hens... Isn't it all used to stew chicken soup?" Zhao Kuangyin said.
Ye Hua was speechless.
"These chicks were not hatched by hens at all."
"Ah? Not the hen hatched? Who is that? Duck? Or goose?"
Ye Hua was asked without temper.
"In fact, hatching chickens does not necessarily require hens. As long as the temperature is suitable, the chickens can develop by themselves and then break out of their shells..." When Ye Hua opened a store last year, he first purchased them from his uncle's village. Later, he felt that the consumption was getting bigger and bigger, and he was afraid that the supply of goods would be unstable, so he told the old lady how to hatch chickens. Before he had time to eat salt, he was recommended by Feng Dao and went to Luoyang.
Ye was skeptical. According to Ye Hua's words, she made a water bag with pigs and cow bladders, filled it with warm water, then put the eggs on, and waited for the chick to be born.
Ye's first experiment failed, but the old lady discovered a phenomenon, that is, in the position of the egg yolk, the prototype of a chick really appeared, small, only the size of a fingernail.
After cheering up, in the second experiment, Ye paid more attention to the water temperature, poured out cold water every day, injected hot water to ensure the temperature. The old lady did it seriously without any sloppy.
This time she succeeded, with 30 eggs and hatched 5 chicks.
Obviously, it is not cost-effective, but Ye’s smiled and seemed to be so happy that his grandson taught her the right way. When his grandson came back, he would let him taste the chicken he hatched!
Ye continued to experiment and figured out the rules. The temperature of the hatched eggs must be stable and cannot rise or fall, otherwise the chicks inside the eggs will freeze to death or be hot to death.
Some eggs can hatch chicks, but some are born unable to hatch chicks.
With the light of the candle, at night, you can see whether the chick is growing, and determine whether the egg is dead or alive...
The old lady spent several months understanding the technique of hatching chicks. She did not hide anything and taught it to the villagers in the village.
In the heart of the old man, if he has the ability, he will benefit his hometown. Distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. When the Ye family was in a downturn, the villagers did not look down on them. Now that the Ye family is well developed, they cannot ignore the villagers.
It is better to make money than give them money. My grandson also opened a shop and needed chicken supply. The best of both worlds is not!
Ye Hua didn't expect that his grandmother was so business-minded, but in fact he underestimated the Ye family's ability. The Ye family had no savings for generations of honest officials. Ye Hua's family was proficient in embroidery and subsidized the family's income in his early years. Ye Hua's father was studying, and his pens, ink, paper and ink were all made by the old lady by needlework.
"No wonder why you did business? It turned out to be taught by the old lady." Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized, "Yes, what does hatched chicken have to do with the shop? You don't think that all shops sell braised chicken? That will be a loss!"
Ye Hua snorted, "I'm not that stupid. I'm telling you that hatching chicks with warm water can hatch hundreds of chicks at once. It's much more efficient than hatching eggs by hens, and the cost is reduced. The expenditure on rice is offset by chicken - this is why my store has not collapsed. It turned out that no one thought of opening a shop, we thought of making money, and now everyone has thought of it, we have to find ways to provide high-quality and low-priced products to attract customers. Do you understand?"
