In Wang Xiao's opinion, the food culture of the Tang Dynasty can only be said to be primitive.

After all, cooking and other things will not appear until the Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, either steam or cook.

Just like in this small winery of Wang Xiao, mutton is cooked in a big pot and steamed buns are made of mutton soup.

By the way, his identity is still standard for time travelers.

His parents died in chaos when the Tang army attacked Chang'an City. There were no brothers and sisters, so he inherited this mutton soup restaurant that is said to have a history of more than 30 years.

However, before running his own tavern, Wang Xiao borrowed needles and scissors from his neighbor's house and made a few pairs of boxers for himself.

There is no way, the Tang Dynasty used a loin cloth at this time.

Wang Xiao really couldn't use this thing.

There are no clothing stores in this era. If you want to make clothes, your wife will pull cloth and make them by yourself.

Although Wang Xiao had not learned this craft specifically, he had seen it. Moreover, the boxer pants are very simple, just waste some more fabrics.

In the Tang Dynasty, cloth was used directly as money.

Simply put, he just put the money on his body.

After solving the most close-fits-all problem, Wang Xiao began to run his own mutton soup shop.

"Uncle Yang, I want to order a batch of steamed buns from you."

Opposite Wang Xiao’s house is a shop selling steamed buns, which is a pancake.

"Boy Wang, just buy steamed buns. What else can you make for flowers?"

Wang Xiao smiled modestly and stretched out his hand to gesture, "Uncle Yang, I want something so big and so thick that I can cut from the middle with a knife."

There is no technique to make the steamed buns bigger and thicker. Uncle Yang said that there is no problem and I will make them for you tomorrow.

When she left, Uncle Yang was still teasing Wang Xiao, "When will the Wang family come to marry my Zhu Niang? Just take 80 pieces of silk to give a gift."

There was no Jiaozi in the Tang Dynasty. In addition to Kaiyuan Tongbao, the coins used also had silk.

Silk, including silk, brocade, silk, etc., are all relatively valuable silk fabrics.

Because of insufficient copper coins, the Tang Dynasty used silk as currency for a long time.

In addition, although the Tang Dynasty did not circulate silver, it could use gold during bulk trade.

The formal circulation of silver will be until the Song Dynasty, and a large amount of precious metals will be earned through maritime trade.

The peak period was in the Ming Dynasty, because a large amount of silver was transported from the New World and Fusang.

As for gold, it was actually a trading currency for commodities a long time ago.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, ten gold and twenty gold were always used, which meant gold and copper.

There is a book about food and goods, a piece of silk in the first Zhenguan period and a dou of rice.

Eighty pieces of silk cloth are eighty dou of rice, which is eight stones.

Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and could still take it out.

It’s just the daughter of Uncle Yang’s family, the Zhu Niang, who is estimated to be 150 pounds, is a treasure that Wang Xiao couldn’t bear to hurt after taking a look. We are destined to be together.

The next morning, Uncle Yang put fifty steamed buns in a bamboo basket and sent them over, "Boy Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Xiao picked up a knife and picked up a piece of steamed bun and placed it on the chopping board, cut it from the middle but left the tail together.

Then put the fragrant mutton prepared last night with greasy sauce.

“Try it.”

Uncle Yang held the Roujiamo and took a big bite hard, "It smells so good, it tastes delicious."

Wang Xiao's craftsmanship is of course nothing, but by noon, more than half of the roujiamo was still not sold.

As for the reason, of course, Wang Xiao sold it very expensive.

Of course, Wang Xiao is not selling expensive because he wants to make money, but his cost is really not low.

The steamed buns are not valuable, but the mutton is expensive. Moreover, in order to mix the mutton, Wang Xiao used a lot of sauces bought at high prices.

There is no soy sauce or anything else in Datang. Wang Xiao bought some other people's secret meat sauce.

The price of this meat sauce is even more expensive than the mutton sold by Wang Xiao.

There is no way, if you want to season it, you have to buy it, or there will be no.

The cost is here, Wang Xiao can't sell it at a loss.

This is Xishi, and they are all businessmen who are very careful in doing business. Not many people are willing to spend so much money to eat a Roujiamo.

If you go to the East City, which is mainly a high-ranking official and a royal family business, you will probably be able to sell more.

Fortunately, it was almost noon, and the people from the city office went door to door to check the preparations for celebrating the new emperor's ascension to see if everyone was ready to celebrate the whole world.

The people from the municipal office obviously got the reward, and even caught up with the meal time, they wrapped all the remaining roujiamo Wang Xiao had.

It is obvious that Wang Xiao's first attempt to enter the mall ended in failure.

However, with Wang Xiao's personality, the more he has not accomplished, the more interested he becomes.

Is the Roujiamo not selling well? That's not good, he must sell the Roujiamo to a famous name.

After analyzing it, Wang Xiao determined that it was a problem of too high cost, not that his skills were not good.

It started from Li Yuan's invasion into Chang'an City until Li Shimin took office this year.

Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has been fighting wars, and the prices are very expensive. There is even a high price of only one piece of silk that can only be exchanged for a dou of rice.

Next year is even more exaggerated, in the first year of Zhenguan

When frost and drought in Guanzhong are caused by disasters, famine is especially serious. You must wait until the fourth year of Zhenguan to become mature in Guanzhong.

In terms of cost reduction, there is nothing to say about steamed buns. If you want to reduce the price, it is probably impossible to marry Zhu Niang.

Lamb or something, it was a sheep-giving household in a farm outside the city for many years. It has never been changed in the price of the harvest and hunger years, which is nothing to say.

The only way to find a sauce that is comparable to the price of mutton.

There is no soy sauce in the Tang Dynasty, so Wang Xiao will make the soy sauce.

Soy sauce is much cheaper than meat sauce, and the effect of seasoning is far more than meat sauce.

As for how to do it, Wang Xiao has read the information.

Simply put, you only need soybeans, salt, and water to make soy sauce.

Soybeans are soybeans, which are one of the five grains in China.

This is the most important bean in the world and is the original product of China.

If you want to make soy sauce, first you have a thick, sealed large jar. Then soak the soybeans for fermentation.

Finally, fill the fermented soybeans, salt and water in a 3-to-1-to-1-to-1-to-1-to-1-to-1-to-1-to-1-to-1-to-1-to-filled large tank, and then seal it with kraft paper.

After several months of brewing, what comes out after opening the lid is soy sauce.

Of course, adding some syrup to season is a trivial matter.

Wang Xiao understood these methods, but the difference was that he had no money at hand.

Soybeans are not expensive, and water doesn’t cost money, but salt is expensive.

The soy sauce is so salty because there is enough salt.

Wang Xiao’s family is just a street stall-style shop, so he doesn’t have that much savings to buy a jar, salt and beans.

“Where do you get the money?”

Wang Xiao, who is rich in many worlds, fell into deep distress. "It turns out that a penny stumped the hero."

In order to maintain his reputation, Wang Xiao could not do anything stealing.

Finally, he borrowed a bow and arrow from his neighbor's house, and a horizontal knife and left the city to Qinling Mountains.

In ancient times, people were not forbidden to hold bows, arrows, swords and guns. The people who actually did this were the Mongolian Yuan and the Qing Dynasty.

The choice of Wang Xiao is very simple, that is, to rely on the mountains to eat.

He was going into the mountain to make some good leather pieces, and then go to the fur merchant to exchange for a large sum of money.

There was no such thing as protecting animals during the Tang Dynasty. Tigers and leopards appeared in groups in the mountains and forests.

Wang Xiao, who brought dry food, walked towards the depths of Qinling Mountains for three days.

In the past three days, I encountered a lot of prey, but Wang Xiao didn't even take it.

Since you are here, of course you have to make the best one.

At noon that day, Wang Xiao created a fire beside a live stream, and a tripod set up a jar to start boiling water.

The most terrifying thing about living in the jungle is not the jackals, tigers and leopards, but drinking raw water.

The water source that has not been purified and filtered, especially in stagnant water like a pool, God knows how many bacteria and viruses are hidden.

If you drink such a source of water directly, you will be done before you encounter a beast.
