Chapter 10 Moisturizing Life

After the incident of the Golden Cicada, everyone's attitude towards me has changed greatly because I was the first person to let them eat enough and eat meat.

Not only that, in just a few days, I also let them witness the miracles I brought, eating golden cicadas, catching old turtles, catching crabs, catching loaches, and picking mushrooms...

During the Tang Dynasty, they didn’t eat many things, but for me, there was no such concept at all.

I also used the black mud with silver powder picked by the children to extract saltpeter and then made ice with saltpeter. With a large amount of ice, it not only made the place where we live cool and pleasant, but also stored a large amount of food such as cicadas and vegetables, so that the food can be kept fresh for a long time and will not deteriorate.

Although I did not work very successfully on some issues, fortunately, I could travel through time and dream in and out of dreams, and I could travel between modern and Tang dynasties, using modern scientific and technological knowledge to make up for the lack of knowledge during the Tang dynasty.

With the ability to wear doubles, I not only let the children eat well, but also really improve their lives.

When I first press oil, I don’t just want to make the cicada delicious. I have to use oil to create a way to make money.

With peanut oil, I can completely reform the catering industry in the Tang Dynasty and create a cooking series! It turned out that the Tang Dynasty was just boiled in water and stewed in fire, without the saying of cooking.

After I had peanut oil, I first founded the stir-fry. Actually, I could cook some home-cooked dishes, and the taste was pretty good. This is thanks to my mother who knows how to cook. When I was in junior high school, because my mother often worked night shifts and my father often didn’t go home to work outside, so I often cooked the dishes, first cooking for myself, and then cooking for my family. Over the years, with my mother’s guidance, there were a few special dishes, but these were far from enough. However, my ability to remember now has stored a large number of recipes in my mind. As long as there are ingredients, I can make them according to the recipe.

In addition, I also used soybeans and broad beans to make soy sauce and soy sauce through drying, fermenting, brewing, oiling, and exposure to the sun. It can be said that during the Tang Dynasty, my inexplicable cooking skills, relying on these things that others don’t have, I created unprecedented cooking methods.

At first, neighbors came to smell the fragrance of our place, and when I asked them to taste it, they all praised it. As soon as everyone in the poor alley knew that I could cook, and it was a unique type. After the first family had a wedding, they invited me to cook for them, and after everyone was eating, more and more people invited me to cook over.

At first I just went to the poor alley to cook some cooking for the wedding and funerals of the poor. They also gave me some things to pay for commissions.

This was still popular in the Tang Dynasty, so I gave them all the cloth, bowls, miscellaneous items, etc. that not only improved their living conditions, but also made them happy every day.

Because my cooking is the only serving of centipede shit, it is delicious and cheap, and my reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Not only in the ladies, but also in a short time, the restaurants, restaurants, theaters, and even the wealthy business officials in Puzhou City asked someone to invite me to cook.

My commission also grew higher with my fame, from the initial five cents to ten cents to twenty cents, thirty cents to fifty cents, then to one hundred cents, two hundred cents, three hundred cents, five hundred cents, and then to eight hundred cents to one thousand cents, which is equivalent to one liang of silver. In the last month, it rose from one liang to three liang of silver, and until now, it rose from one liang of silver to three liang of silver. (The silver and money of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was relatively chaotic, from the Kaiyuan Tongbao, Qianfeng Quanbao, Qianyuan Chongbao, and Xuanbao, until the Tiancheng Yuanbao, Tianfu Yuanbao, Hanyuan Tongbao, and Zhouyuan Tongbao, there were no less than a dozen types of them. This was not counted as the currency of the Ten Kingdoms. For the convenience of readers to read, it was still calculated by gold, silver, and literary money.)

I cannot accurately describe the concept of ten taels of silver. It is just based on the consumption standards of the Tang Dynasty at that time, one tael of silver is enough for the expenses of three or four poor people in a family of one year.

Ten taels of silver are enough... Anyway, it's enough for little kids such as Xiao Shenyan, Liu Ping, and Chen Yingzi to laugh happily and count for a day. In addition to earning money, I also collected a large amount of peanuts to facilitate oil extraction. As we worked hard, the entire cellar that the peanut oil had been stored was enough.

In the short time after I squeezed the oil, I became famous in Puzhou and became famous all over the city. Everyone in the city knew that there was a Song Jialang who could cook!

The reason why I am famous is not only because I invite me a lot, but because I set a rule that I always insist on a commission of ten cents for the poor.

This article has gained a high reputation throughout Puzhou City, so that I respect me everywhere I go, making me bow and speak respectful words whenever I see people.

Of course, these are all poor people.

In the late Tang Dynasty, less than three months have passed, I have made a lot of money for Lan Ge'er and the others. Not only have I added new clothes to more than 20 children, but I have also replaced dishes, chopsticks, beds, and daily necessities. At the same time, I have repaired and improved the ragged houses, and prepared all the cotton coats and clothes to wear in winter, including three sets of people per person, and even the braziers and materials for winter are sufficient.

This year, the children have wintered, and there is no problem.

More importantly, I invited the best doctors in the city to see a few children who had been bedridden because they had no money to see a doctor.

Many of them are not serious illnesses, and I am willing to spend money, so many children's illnesses are cured soon.

Only Xiao Shitou and a child named Xiao Jiang both injured their bones. Because they were injured for too long, the doctors in the city had no good solution and could not be cured in time. They could only rely on slow care. But I also remember it in my heart and always wondered whether I could find some good ways to cure their bones in modern times.

Seeing that the children were able to survive the winter and the patients recovered, Brother Lan, who should have been increasingly worried, also smiled every day. He often chatted with me when he had nothing to do, and he was not as cold as before, always holding the boss's airs and was cold.

Those older children are like Ling Xiao, Xie Jianfeng, Yuan Sihai, Guan Yang and others, and they admire me from the bottom of their hearts. Now they respect me as their second brother, and they don’t say anything if they don’t call me.

Now we no longer have to go picking vegetables early in the morning, and of course the children don’t have to go.

In addition to being busy dealing with the chef's work scheduled for more than a month, the children are studying every day.

I decided this one. The children are still young and they are abandoned if they don’t learn anything.

Therefore, I ask the children to memorize poetry and academic studies every day.

Although my writing skills are pretty good, when I came to the Tang Dynasty, the characters they used were too different from our simplified Chinese characters. I taught them to read and read, so I left them to Lan Ge'er.

Lan Ge'er can actually read and write, and it is very unusual. This is something that surprised me, but what surprised Lan Ge'er even more was my arithmetic.

In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. I just asked them to memorize the multiplication formula of ninety-nine, which is simple in modern times that I can memorize in the first and second grades of elementary school, but it became a treasure in ancient times. Because even those who were proficient in numerology in the Tang Dynasty did not know the multiplication formula. Under my strict supervision, all the children not only memorized the multiplication formula of ninety-nine, but even the multiplication and division formulas that I learned from modern Internet were memorized and opened their mouths.

Therefore, the children who go out of our yard are all numerology. They can tell what they need to do. They don’t have to worry about it. They are much faster than those accounts that make abacus and make a crackling sound. They are all mental arithmetic. This shocked the people from far and near.

Everyone calls our younger brothers and sisters the little prodigy from Lanyuan. Lanyuan is also the name they gave our yard.

Regarding the numerology, Lan Ge'er often asked me in surprise where I came from and how could I have such magical powers?

I always make a joke about the topic.

However, during the learning process, I also gained a lot. I learned a lot of ancient Chinese characters and laid a deep foundation in ancient Chinese studies. Unfortunately, I consulted many knowledgeable people, and none of them understood the words on the pictures of the nine villains in my mind.

For this reason, I also did another thing, collecting books!

Accept ancient books!

As long as the books are similar, you can earn money when you send them. As long as the books are good, the price is easy to say. This also increases the flow of our courtyard expenditures and books in the courtyard are getting thicker.

Although Lan Ge'er told me several times that the money spent on books was getting bigger and bigger, I said happily: "Don't be afraid, those things will be exchanged for more precious things than money."

Lan Ge'er is not a person with shallow knowledge, so she followed me. From time to time, she picked some good books from the pile of books and taught them to read them.

In short, life is getting better and better every day, and life is quite nourishing.

"How many, how many?"

"Today's income, the commission king's five taels, one taels, four hundred and sixty cents of raw materials, plus two taels of oil deposit, and ten taels of Liu Daguanren, totaling eighteen taels, four hundred and sixty cents." Xiao Shenyan replied in a tender and nice voice.

This is the cost of harvesting when I went to Wang Jinzhu's home in the east of the city to go to the kitchen. In addition to the commission and raw material costs, Wang Dahu also paid two taels of silver as a deposit to buy oil. This is one of my means of selling oil products. Liu Daguanren paid a deposit, and it was not yet time for me to sell it.

I believe that the longer the time, the better our oil will be.

But I thought that I actually came to the Tang Dynasty and made a fortune by cooking and selling oil. I felt incredible.

"What are you doing with your head shaking? Do you think you're earning less?" Lan Ge'er's voice sounded.

I smiled and said, "No, this day is equivalent to the annual rations of ordinary people and their families. How could I think it's too little?" I said insincerely. In fact, I really think it's too little. If I continue to develop according to my plan, it's not a problem to make money every day.

At the same time, I thought about the embarrassing situation in modern life. Now I am a student. I am really not well-off. I don’t dare to eat and drink every day. The nutrition is obviously not up to my growing appetite. Sometimes I really don’t want to wear it back to modern times when I wake up from my dream, because all the foods I eat here are pure natural, pollution-free, no additives, no biomass, and no gutter oil.

Alas, no, I have to think of ways to improve my modern living standards.

But how to make modern money?

Alas, if these copper coins were brought to modern times, they would be all cultural relics. There would be a lot of them sold for each Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Also, if you take back these furniture in the Tang Dynasty, pots, basins, bowls, dishes, etc., you won’t exchange it for tens of thousands of yuan.

I thought so in my heart, Lan Ge'er asked, "Look at your strange look, what are you thinking?"

I want to sell the stuff here.

I thought this in my heart, but said, "No, I wonder how to add some new dishes to the Chen family tomorrow." I said casually.

"Well, it's also Chen Sheng and Chen's merchant family. It's a famous big family in our prefecture. I heard that there are a lot of businesses and money can be piled up. You have to be careful tomorrow. Maybe they can place a lot of peanut oil after eating it. What's the name? Order?" Lan Ge'er asked me uncertainly.

I smiled and nodded.

Suddenly, Lan Ge'er frowned again and said, "No, let Ling Xiao, Jian Feng, Sihai and others follow you tomorrow. No, it still doesn't work. I will follow you tomorrow."

I wondered, two people usually work with the kitchen and move things, but I don’t understand why I have to go with so many people.

Lan Ge'er approached me and said, "You don't know that the world is in chaos now. I heard that someone has already set eyes on us. Tomorrow, the Chen Da Merchant will give us at least ten taels of silver commission. What if some thugs are targeted by them when they come back and then robbed the money?" Lan Ge'er said in a low voice, but saw that I seemed to squint and smell something casually, and couldn't help but hit me: "What are you doing? Have you heard me speak to you?"

I was shocked. Actually, I was smelling the fragrance of Lan Ge'er. Now that we are in good condition, I specially asked to free up a room and convert it into a bathroom so that the children can take a bath every day. Lan Ge'er may have just taken a shower, and a refreshing fragrance on her body made me feel excited.

When Brother Lan woke me up, I looked at her face that was still blackened and said, "Listen, listen, don't you just say that some rascals are targeting us?"

"Ah, someone is eyeing us!" I suddenly became alert to Brother Lan'er's words!

Lan Ge'er hit me with his elbow and signaled me to whisper, for fear that the children would be scared.

I quickly lowered my head to Lan Ge'er's chest and asked in a low voice: "What the hell is going on, please explain it clearly."

Unexpectedly, Lan Ge'er's black face turned red under her neck and said shyly: "I said that's right, your head is pressed against me."

I smiled and I was close to each other just now, and I directly hit Lan Ge'er, but I didn't feel the softness it should be.

Could it be a girl? Or an airport? I was thinking in my heart.

Seeing that I was squeezing my head, Lan Ge'er became more natural and cleared her throat and said, "It's still the rascals in the City God Temple. I heard that we are well developed and some want to make bad ideas."

"It's still Gao Laizi and the others? Aren't they afraid of you?" I asked strangely.

"So I want to follow you. If they block you outside, who will we go to afterwards? Even if we find it, maybe they will spend all the money." Lan Ge'er explained.

Then he said, "And, I heard that they may have to join forces with others this time."

"Who can they unite?"

"Everyone is possible, it is possible for the butcher Du in the south of the city, Chen Ergou in the north of the city, and the forces in the west of the city and the east of the city." Lan Ge'er's eyes flashed and thought.

"Ah, there are so many forces."

"These are not afraid of these people, just because they are afraid that they will contact the people from the Iron Axe Gang and the Quick Knife Gang."
