Chapter 58 According to Dongzhu Li's script
Zhang Xiao suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to follow what was written on the paper.
"Taste all over the world and try Kyushu. Do you know that a drop of mellow and fragrant soy sauce is hard to find?"
"I know, soy sauce. Do you sell soy sauce? Come on, how much is it? I want it all." The person asking the question pointed at the pot and said.
"Then you can turn the two of them into a mandarin duck, and you know the strange fragrance that stinks in the street but is so fragrant?" Zhang Xiao followed the script.
Someone nearby shouted: "I know, the things in Lijiazhuang on the east bank of Ba River are extremely expensive."
"What I want to bring out for you to taste today is the one made by the owner of Lijiazhuang...Nine Turns...Ileum...Ha! Shi! Ma!"
As soon as Zhang Xiao finished speaking, he suddenly opened the lid of the small jar, and a strong fragrance came out.
The onlookers inhaled, one inhaled the smell, and the other was sedated by the name.
"Come, let's have a taste, each person has a small piece, don't eat too much." Zhang Xiao poured some water from the bucket into a pottery basin, washed the plates and chopsticks.
After washing, there are ten plates in total, and a piece of frog meat is placed on one plate.
When the onlookers saw clearly what was being pulled out, they all said: "..."
"Isn't this just a toad? What about the nine-turn ileum Hashma, Hashma, toad? You are so funny."
Someone recognized him at a glance, pointed at Zhang Xiao and shook his head.
"Yes, yes, after nine rounds of ileum, I am still angry." Someone else echoed.
"Your toad is a toad. I made it from Boss Li. It's called Hashma. Have a taste." Zhang Xiao handed over the plate and chopsticks.
Needless to say, others reached out and the remaining plates and chopsticks were taken away.
Just one piece on a plate, not a whole toad.
"It's delicious. Let's have another piece." The first person to eat was chewing and handed the plate over.
"Take a bite each, is it too much?" Zhang Xiao took the plate, reached for chopsticks, and refused to give any more.
"One piece is not enough. I haven't tasted it yet. Here are a few more pieces."
"It's just that it doesn't taste very good. I want to try more."
"Toads are worthless and stingy."
"If you don't give it to me, I'll leave."
"It's gone, it's gone, it's smelly."
People who had never tasted braised dishes were shocked and tried their best to eat it without spending money.
The others were not fools. When they saw their appearance, they urged Zhang Xiao to continue pinching.
Zhang Xiao washed the chopsticks, wiped them clean with rough paper, took out ten pieces again, and handed them to different people.
"Tell me, how to sell it?" The first person to ask and the person who ate it were startled and asked the price.
"Do you know about soy sauce? Do you know about stinky tofu? My nine-turn ileum hashma, Boss Li said, if it costs a hundred dollars a piece, I won't sell it."
Zhang Xiao bravely told the price.
The first person to ask frowned and asked, "These are all broken, how do you know if they are just one?"
"What I have in the pot is whole. The males and females look at each other. The size is the same. The one who picks first will earn, and the one who picks second will not complain." Zhang Xiao continued to shout according to the script.
"Give me two...no, five." The man directly asked for five, staring at the toads in the pot: "This, and this, and the one next to it, no, move it a little bit."
Zhang Xiao took the oil paper and made it into a small basket. He gently used chopsticks to pick out five pieces.
The person took it and shouted: "Give me money."
Someone from behind handed me a piece of silk and said, "Look for fifty cents."
Zhang Xiao took the cloth and handed it to the villagers.
The people in the village opened it and looked at it carefully. If there was something bad about it, they wouldn't want it.
After checking it, it was OK. The villagers counted out fifty Kaiyuan Tongbao from the basket on the ox cart and handed it over.
Now is the Kaiyuan period, but Kaiyuan Tongbao existed before.
The other party took it, and several people protected the person who bought it, then left with other silks between them.
"I'll buy one." Another person couldn't bear it after tasting it and took out a roll of cloth.
The villager took out a ruler, measured a length, and confirmed it with the other party. The other party nodded and cut it with scissors.
"I have two. Can you open that pot? No? I choose, I want this one. These two are about the same, right? Come on."
The third person directly gave three pieces of cloth, which together were exactly that long.
Zhang Xiao was wiping his sweat and sighed. Sure enough, there were many rich people in the East Market, and they would buy toads worth a hundred dollars each.
How can I repay the debt my Zhangjia Village owes to Boss Li?
"Let's take a look at our house." A spy's voice appeared, and then he revealed his yellow clothes and white fir trees, and the palace's outsourcing shop arrived at the yellow door.
He ate one piece and then another: "Okay, don't open that pot. I'll take the pot with you. I'll give you two bolts of silk."
"No, two pieces of silk are only worth 10,000 yuan in recent days, and mine is worth 20,000 yuan." Zhang Xiao firmly refused, his legs trembling quietly.
"Does our family agree?" Huang Men glared.
"Dr. Li said no. If you dare to rob today, I will tell Mr. Li." Zhang Xiao pushed back.
"Who is Mr. Li? Let us know." Huang Men first explored the way.
"On the east bank of Ba River, Li Yi is the son of Lijiazhuang. The things we make are what Dongzhu Li taught me. I am the village leader of Zhangjia Village." Zhang Xiao shouted out.
"You...he...four pieces of silk, please bring the pot back to me first. You and I don't want the pot." Huang Men was timid.
Huangmen, who can go outside to buy things, has extraordinary connections in the palace.
Naturally well-informed.
Who dares to touch Li Yi's Zhuangzi? General Gao goes there every few days to buy soy sauce for only fifty-five yuan a pound. It is said that His Majesty also goes there.
"Lao Wu, you go and drive." Zhang Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the people behind the yellow gate picked out four pieces of silk and threw them down.
"Hurry, I want something hot." Huang Men urged as he didn't want to buy anything else.
When a bullock cart is driven away, other people will see it and they will all buy it, so hurry up.
Silk, a lot of copper coins, silk, silk, satin, brocade, damask, ruffles, everything.
The distinction between these things is that silkworm silk is different, tussah silkworm, mulberry silkworm, and the other is reeling silk, raw silk, cooked silk.
There are also different textures, twill, straight, horizontal, negative, positive, and no texture.
In addition, it is dyeing and adding or not embroidering.
If you embroider a rich peony and then dye the peony, the price will naturally be different.
Zhang Xiao didn't know the price at all, so he could only ask others for advice. There were people from the government in charge of the East City. They ate a few mouthfuls of red braised toads and gave guidance.
It was almost noon when all was sold and the bullock carts came back.
Lao Wu happily took six pancakes and fruit, plus Muramasa, there were exactly six people.
"Second brother, Huangmen is easy to talk to. Give me something. Look, it's delicious." Lao Wu showed off the pancakes and fruits.
Muramasa slapped him on the head: "It's just pancake fruit. Didn't you eat it when you were working at Boss Li's place?"
"No, second brother, I'm just staring at the meat." Lao Wu told the truth.
Li Yizhuangzi has pancakes and fruits to adjust people's taste. Farmers do not have to eat meat.
There is meat every meal, but what you want to eat is not meat.
People in Zhangjia Village used to work with the simplest idea of eating meat and taking advantage.
Especially for fatty meat slices, when people in Zhuangzi choose lean meat to eat, people in Zhangjia Village choose which piece of meat is fatter.
After eating, I really saved food. When I went back to the village to eat, I couldn't eat as much as before.
The more you save, the more you can call your parents, mother-in-law, and children.
"You've never seen this thing before. Let's go to the West Market to buy something and then go back." Zhang Xiao ordered.
"Just one for each person." Lao Wu wanted to eat pancakes and fruit.
Zhang Xiao slapped him on the head again: "If you don't eat, will you starve to death? I will give you the third baby when I go home. Your third baby, Xiaoye, has so many bugs in his stomach and is so thin. If it weren't for Dongzhu Li, your third baby would
I won’t survive this year.”
The group of people left. Things were expensive in the East Market, so they went to the West Market.
