Next, Xiao Han talked a lot with Wang Mengcai in the room again, and did not leave until around noon.
Although I had three thousand dreams, when I woke up, the world had already changed, and things and people had changed.
But the nostalgia hidden in his bones still made Xiao Han feel deeply in his heart, wanting to make his former hometown a better place.
After leaving Anping County, Xiao Han rushed to Weijia Village.
I had heard Wang Mencai say before that since the foreign enemies were gone, the villagers in Weijia Village had returned home one after another.
However, when Xiao Han came to the vicinity of Weijia Village, he saw that the place still looked desolate and decayed.
Perhaps, because so many people died here before, some villagers are still afraid and dare not come back.
As for those who came back, they had been out for many days and had no income, so as soon as they got home, they hurriedly set up things, tended the crops in the fields, or went to the sea to catch some fish to supplement the family income.
Nowadays, in the whole village, there are only a few half-year-old children and elderly people who are busy sweeping the houses and clearing away debris.
"Zi? Brother Xiao, why are you here!"
Next to the village well, Xiao Wei San was carrying a wooden bucket full of water and walking hard towards home. However, he turned his head inadvertently on the way and suddenly saw Xiao Han's figure appearing in the old tree outside the village.
Down!
At that moment, he was so happy that he immediately cheered, put down the bucket, and trotted towards Xiao Han.
"hehe……"
Xiao Han looked at Xiao Wei San who was rushing over, smiled, stretched out his hand, and rubbed his head vigorously until his untidy hair was turned into a chicken coop, and then asked: "Still?"
Remember what I told you last time, are you ready?"
"Everything is ready!"
When Xiao Wei San heard this, he nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice.
Although he didn't know why Brother Xiao asked him to go to the beach to catch those things no one wanted and bring them back.
But out of absolute trust in Brother Xiao, Xiao Wei San still obediently took time to catch a lot of them at the beach in the past few days, and followed the instructions, dried them thoroughly and put them at home.
"Just prepare it! Go, find a small stone to grind it with. Just grind it with soybeans, don't grind flour!" Patting Xiao Wei San's head, Xiao Han motioned him to find a small stone grinder and grind it with him.
Bring the other things he wants with him.
"Of course I know!" Xiao Wei San shrank his neck when he was photographed, and replied with a little pout: "I can't move that big stone mill for grinding flour! But Brother Xiao, I have that kind of small stone at home.
Mo, why don't you go to my house? Do you insist on moving it outside? That thing is so heavy!"
"Nonsense!" Seeing that Xiao Wei San didn't want to move, Xiao Han immediately slapped him on the head again and snorted angrily: "I'm going to teach you a way to make money. Of course, the fewer people know about it, the better!
If I enter the village and so many people are watching, will it almost be you who gets rich?"
"ah?"
Xiao Wei San is not stupid either, or in other words, he also has some innate cunning!
When he heard that Xiao Han was going to teach him how to make money, he immediately smiled. Where was the reluctance from before? All he could do was nod his head: "Ah! Oh! Okay, okay! I'll move it right now!"
As he said that, the others quickly ran towards the village.
"This guy!" Xiao Han looked at Xiao Wei San's cheerful appearance and could only smile helplessly.
The Xiao family caravan will come here to harvest fish in the future. This has already been agreed upon.
However, compared to Haizhou, Chuzhou and Yangzhou which are closer to Chang'an, this place does not have any advantage.
In fact, because of the large distance added in vain, the cost of the caravan will also be greatly increased.
Although this is the place that Xiao Han personally ordered, the caravan will come here even if it loses money, but once or twice is okay. Over time, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other people inside. After all, the caravan still has to make money as its main purpose.
Purpose.
Regarding this problem, the solution Xiao Han can come up with is to have something here that is not found anywhere else. In this way, for this thing, the caravan must come here!
In addition, as the old Chinese saying goes, you can’t go back with an empty car. You have to pack up some other things and take them with you. Therefore, it can also indirectly allow the business model here to continue.
As for the things that are not available elsewhere, Xiao Han has also looked for them. Apart from the black sea cucumber, there is another more important thing, which is what he wants to teach Xiao Wei San to do next.
After a while, we found a secluded place outside the village.
Xiao Hanzheng and Xiao Wei were squatting on the ground. Next to them were some sun-dried shell meat, sea sausage, a small stone mill, and a small jar of sea salt.
Instruct Xiao Wei San to put the dried sea sausage and shell meat into the stone mill, then turn it vigorously to grind it into powder, adding a little salt in the process.
Next, a pure natural, pollution-free ancient MSG is freshly baked.
In fact, Xiao Han knew that if a little more frosting could be put in it, the taste would be even better.
Unfortunately, the price of frosting is still beyond the reach of a seaside boy like Xiao Wei San. Now, he can only make do with it.
"Brother Xiao, what are you doing? These sea intestines look disgusting. No one in our village wants them!"
In the open space, Xiao Wei San shook the stone mill vigorously while looking at the gray-brown powder that was being squeezed out, and couldn't help asking with disgust on his face.
"Disgusting? No one wants it?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes and ignored him.
However, in his heart, Xiao Han still secretly slandered: You guys are really rich. If it were left to future generations, you would not be able to buy it with just a few sea sausages in one month's salary!
Speaking of which, dry grinding of sea sausage into powder was not invented by Xiao Han, because at least in the Qing Dynasty, there were Shandong cuisine masters who added this thing to their dishes.
Legend has it that famous restaurant chefs at that time would tie a small bag around their waists. When cooking, they would take some powder out of the small bag and sprinkle it into the dishes. The originally mediocre dishes would immediately become delicious. tasty.
And the mysterious powder that makes the dishes delicious is sea sausage powder. According to legend, the reason why Shandong cuisine became the first of the eight major cuisines was this sea sausage powder!
Now, what Xiao Han taught Xiao Wei San to make is this kind of sea sausage powder, but on the basis of the original, Xiao Han asked Xiao Wei San to add the shell columns of the scallops, which are the famous scallops in later generations!
In this way, these two things that are already famous for their deliciousness are fused together, and the final effect is already one plus one, which is greater than two!
