Chapter 39 The role of storytelling

That night, Zhen Ping and Guo Yong asked Huo Hai a lot of strategies for selling these new products. While they were amazed by the strategies given by Huo Hai, they also had a lot of confidence in doing a good job in this business in the future.

By the time they returned to the room, several servants had prepared two large bathtubs and hot water. The two of them had firmly felt the charm of the toiletries Huo Hai mentioned. If the servants here were not for the older ones, they would even have the idea of ​​releasing the origin of their bodies.

Because they have never been so clean and so fragrant in their entire lives.

"Brother Guo thought, what about Huo Hai?" Zhen Ping, who changed into clean clothes and slept with Guo Yong on the warm kang, asked Guo Yong.

"This person has clear thinking and very well-organized behavior, which often makes us unable to refuse. In other words, he has long since come to our reaction and is truly one of the few wise men in the world." Guo Yong said seriously.

"I'm not to be hiding Brother Guo, before coming here, our Zhen family sent someone to investigate his background. However, this person seemed to appear out of thin air, making me unstoppable. His most powerful ability is not only to be able to predict our ideas in advance, but also to have a strong appeal that can make many people obey his words in a very short time.

For example, those from Taiping Cult, such as maids and servants on this small island.

In addition, I feel that he has some big secrets to hide from us, because the cavalry of Heishan Village stopped us from going to Heishan, but brought us to this wilderness to meet him." Zhen Ping told Guo Yong.

"It is already amazing to have cavalry that is comparable to the elite equipment of the imperial court, but the more powerful he is, the more we can make a profit when we cooperate with him, right? So, this is actually a good thing." Guo Yong, who was slightly fat, saw it openly and said with a smile.

"I just hope that he is not using us as chess pieces!" Zhen Ping sighed and then closed his eyes and went to bed, not planning to continue chatting. He was going to say goodbye to Huo Hai tomorrow and set off for the trip, and take these things Huo Hai made as soon as possible to try the market reaction.

The heavy snowfall for several days has caused thick ice to form on the water surface of the algae. Huo Hai got up early in the morning and took the children to play ice fishing. During this period, he also told them a story about "Lying on ice and asking for carp" to tell the children how important wisdom is.

After getting up and washing up, Zhen Ping and Guo Yong, who ran to the ice to talk to Huo Hai, both heard the story he told, and then their eyebrows were frowned into the shape of Sichuan.

Shouldn’t this be a story that tells children how important filial piety is?

Why did it become? In order to seek fame, Wang Xiang used his brains and thought of a plan to seek fiction, spread his reputation, and then received recommendations, and eventually became a high-ranking official?

"The two frowned, but don't agree with the story I told?" Huo Hai, who caught a big carp more than one foot long, looked at Zhen Ping and Guo Yong, standing motionless.

In fact, the two have already started to taste some of the flavors in this story. At present, there are many people in the world who have tried all kinds of ways to make a name for themselves. Their methods are even worse than those of Wang Xiang!

Because if you are not from a gentry, there is no possibility of being filial and honest. Unless you are famous scholars, you will have a little chance. Apart from this method, you may not have been an official for generations, and you may not be qualified to become a superior person. The status of a scholar and a commoner can be said to be like a distance between heaven.

"No, we just think that if we make up stories, we should guide people to be kind, rather than utilitarian." Zhen Ping answered Huo Hai.

Huo Hai smiled and said, "You are right. You should indeed make up some positive stories about the directors who are good, but it should also allow children to be inspired and increase their wisdom.

If they believe this is a story that praises filial piety, compete to imitate and be filial to their parents, what consequences do you think will occur?

I took off my clothes and lay on the ice. Before the ice began to melt, people would freeze to death first.

They can't even fill their own belly, so what can they use to be filial to their parents?

Since the world is realistic, then we should be more realistic and think about how to get carp and respect our parents.

You see, we have many ways to make fire and charcoal, melt a hole on the ice, fish with a fish hook, or fish under the ice net, etc. These practical methods of doing things require them to think about.

So, my story is to teach these children how to use their brains and find ways to break the deadlock when they encounter difficulties. What they lack now is this thinking and this kind of insight."

After hearing Huo Hai's words, Zhen Ping and Guo Yong nodded involuntarily. In the current world, what's the use of teaching children the great principles? It's not utilitarian, but more practical, let them survive first.

"Mr. Huo, we both want to take the wonderful things you made to the market to try it out, so we plan to say goodbye and leave today, I don't know..."

"Don't worry, have breakfast before leaving. I have someone pulled you to the place where you were intercepted yesterday. After you have passed, someone will hand over the things and the entourage you brought to you." Huo Hai smiled.

"Mr. Huo knew yesterday that we were leaving today?" Zhen Ping said in surprise.

"Not really, actually, things are produced there and can be brought from there at any time. I just sent a message yesterday." Huo Hai smiled.

"Is the things produced in the Black Mountain?" Zhen Ping said in surprise again.

Huo Hai clicked, but Zhen Ping and Guo Yong frowned. Guo Yong said, "The same thing, I advise you not to have too many entanglements with the Taiping Cult. A few days ago, the court seemed to have issued a wanted order. The wanted person was called Ma Yuanyi. He is the general preacher of the Taiping Cult in Jingyang and the two prefectures. Someone had written a letter to the court, saying that the Taiping Cult will cause great trouble over time. He asked Your Majesty to wipe out it, but was suppressed by Your Majesty. This time, with evidence, I am afraid that many Taiping Cultists will be arrested for the Dharma."

Liu Hong would certainly suppress it before, because Ma Yuanyi bribed Feng Xi and Xu Feng, the Ten Generals of the Staff. If it weren't for Zhang Jiao's apprentice Tang Zhou, it would be hard to say whether Liu Hong could survive the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army.

It seems that Tang Zhou had reported in Chang'an, and Ma Yuanyi was arrested, and more than a thousand Taiping clans were taken to Luoyang to behead. Ma Yuanyi was tragically broken by a car. Zhang Jiao, who received the news, rushed to raise an army.

"Don't worry, my Taiping Cult and I have a cooperative relationship. They are actually similar to you to me. If possible, I also want to develop the imperial court and the emperor into my partner. Everyone has food to eat and money to make money is the best." Huo Hai smiled.

"this……"

To develop the court and the emperor into partners?

No matter how Zhen Ping and Guo Yong looked at it, they both thought Huo Hai's idea was naive and naive, but that was just his idea after all, and it was not implemented, so there is no need to persuade him at the moment.

"Okay, don't worry about me. As long as you know, if you don't say that the things you sell are made by Taiping Christians, no one will say that these things are from Taiping Christians, because the refugees who produce these things in Heishan Village are not Taiping Christians, they are just a bunch of refugees who can't eat enough." Huo Hai explained to the two, then twisted the bucket of fish and went back to the house to make a breakfast for them to deliver them.

This time, the two of them would not miss watching Huo Hai cook. First of all, they have learned from killing fish. This is the fish killing technique that Huo Hai learned from Douyin to remove bones for big fish. Although he has not learned all of them after practicing it several times, he can still remove the thorns in the main parts. As for the many thorns on his tail, Huo Hai naturally doesn't have to worry about it.

When they saw a big fish worth more than ten kilograms, they were quickly sliced ​​into pieces by Huo Hai. Moreover, it seemed that he had picked up all the thorns, and they felt like he was like a cook who had cut a cow. They immediately felt that Huo Hai was very profound.

Can you make boiled fish fillets? Fish head, fish tail and bones can be used to cook soup, pig red, bean sprouts, and bean skins, which are all the side dishes that Huo Hai can use now.

However, he also brought boiled fish and pickled fish seasoning packages from later generations, and he never had a chance to use them. This time he generously opened a pack. After all, these things have a shelf life. If they don’t sweat the two of them, how can they make them brave the heavy snow?

Soon, the oil pan was heated, and then the scallions and ginger flavoured, and the seasonings were fragrant. Seeing the flames rising in the pot, Huo Hai calmly pushed the pot and stir-fryed it. Only then did the two realize that the best food was not as simple as putting the ingredients into the pot and steaming it and eating it. It was no wonder that Huo Hai said it would take some time to study.

Soon, after the seasoning is ready, the fish head and fish bones are stir-fried in another pot, and then added to the pot to make soup. As for the fish fillets, wash them first with cold water, and then blanch them with boiling water. When they are about 70% cooked, take them out of the pot, cook them in the pot for a short while, and sprinkle coriander foam on the pot.

Of course, the coriander of this era is called Hucai, and only the Guiren family's vegetable fields are planted in a small amount. However, the coriander that Huo Hai put into the pot was planted with the seeds he brought himself. After a month and a half, these corianders that were not afraid of snow were only two or three inches long, just enough to make an embellishment.

At this time, there were still a few dishes that were not afraid of frost, such as garlic, lettuce, cabbage, cabbage, red cabbage, etc., all planted in the sheds built with long chains made of reed poles. When the sun emerged, the chains were harvested and these vegetables could enjoy the sunlight. At this time, the sheds were covered with snow, and Zhen Ping and Guo Yong thought that they were the house where the servants lived!

When eating this kind of dish with a strong taste, it should be accompanied by some soft and sweet staple foods. Steamed fluffy steamed buns and mutton buns were brought up by Baoer. Zhen Ping and Guo Yong, who had eaten two meals at Huo Hai, had never eaten staple foods before.

"This is?"

"It's made after removing the hull and grinding the wheat. You have to hurry up and eat more fine food. Today, the kitchen will steam a few more baskets. I will take it as dry food for you to eat on the road. I just need to roast it on the fire and heat it up with hot water." Huo Hai said with a smile, then picked up a steamed bun, ate it with vegetables, and ate it with steamed buns.

The two of them followed suit, and immediately they were conquered by the taste of the soft steamed buns. It turned out that wheat could make such delicious food. Previously, the rice and dead dough noodles cooked by their family were ruining the food.

"That, Mr. Huo, my old lady is old and has a bad teeth..."

"It's good to say, your chef will soon learn how to make steamed buns and buns. However, I want to remind you that if this delicious pasta begins to rise in various gentry families, then everyone's demand for wheat will inevitably increase. Both your Zhen family and Guo family are involved in the grain industry. If you have to increase the cultivation and purchase of wheat, you will make a lot of money." Huo Hai smiled.

"It turns out that food is also related to business. Mr. Huo's attainments in the way of business are far superior to us." Zhen Ping and Guo Yong sighed.

When Huo Hai heard such compliments in person, he smiled without saying a word. How could a person with a little business acumen in later generations not have thought of such a thing!

However, after eating and drinking together for a few consecutive meals, the three of them became more familiar with each other. Huo Hai also learned from people of this era, calling Zhen Ping's name Ji'an and Guo Yong's name Bosheng.

However, when they asked about the word "动" when they were asked about the word "动" when they were asked about it, but they were very unfamiliar. Only the gentry slaves in Guizhou did not have the word "动" and those who were born in a gentry or read and read would not even take two names, and a single name would be more noble.

Therefore, Huo Hai also had to think of a word "大" for himself, because he is now twenty-seven years old and has long passed the age of "大" for "大".
