Section 15 The Temptation of Vermicelli

Now that he had an idea and money in hand, it was easy to turn the idea into reality. Wei Chunpeng, who was used to making jelly, naturally quickly mastered how to turn starch into the required dough, just add alum.

Lan Yushu took the money and went to Zhaoguofang and made the utensils in one afternoon. For the purpose of confidentiality, Lan Yushu used a chisel to cut out the holes little by little on the three thin iron plates and arranged them from thick to thin.

of neatness.

Mr. Yan also came to see such inventions. The old man was full of curiosity about new things. He explained in advance that once the appliances created by the students were available, the Yun family could not buy them cheaply. The old man thought about it for a long time and gave three hundred guan.

The price, in his opinion, is already an extremely high price.

The crushed potato pieces thrown into the stone grinding eye were quickly ground into pulp and flowed down the grinding disc. After filtering through two layers of gauze for more than ten times, a large bucket of pulp was filled with about 20% of starch, and the rest was

No one could see the procedures being done. Wei Chunpeng and Lan Yushu hid in the house and completed them alone.

When Yun Ye smiled and watched Lan Yushu drying the noodles on the bamboo pole, Yan Zhitui had already pinched off some and put it in his mouth to try. After eating a few sticks, he said: "It is indeed good, better than noodles."

, paired with seasonings, it’s a good meal, it’s like two pounds out of ten pounds, that’s great, boy, how long can this thing last?”

"After drying, as long as there are no mold or insects, it will be fine for two or three years."

"It's a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Boy, don't think about making money all day long. It's useless if you have too much of it. On the contrary, it's the source of trouble. Ten pounds of potatoes will produce two pounds of flour. Just follow the rules of fifteen pounds of potatoes.

Sell ​​it at a reasonable price, don't sell it too high, and turn a good thing into a bad thing.

Young people always have no restraint in doing things, always thinking that the more the better. However, when manpower is limited, wealth increases and troubles increase. In those days, few of those extravagant people died a good death. Only the people in the world became rich.

You don't look special if you are in the middle. It is best to practice moderation.'

Yun Ye naturally bowed his head and accepted Mr. Yan's teachings. Everything the old man said was right. After one hundred years of age, defecating in the Golden Palace was allowed. Giving a few words to the younger generation was nothing. This was not the case.

Nonsense, it was specifically recorded in the "Etiquette". How do you say that? "It's just like shit." It's all about being taught. One pound of starch can make two or three pounds of vermicelli, something as boring as that. The old man can do it.

No need to know.

The blacksmiths in Zhaoguofang became busy again. All the millstones in Yunjiazhuangzi were grinding potato pulp. Xin Yue and Li Anlan both set up millstones in the yard to do it themselves. The two wearing floral headscarves were busy.

A local girl, she looks like she is making people happy. Ling Dang likes to press vermicelli into the boiling water pot. Auntie is busy taking out the vermicelli that has been soaked in boiling water and hanging them on the bamboo poles set up to dry. They are already drying in the garden.

It’s full. Now not only the Yunjia Garden is filled with white vermicelli, but even the Zhuangzi is filled with all kinds of thick, thin and flat vermicelli. Just looking at it makes people like it from the bottom of their hearts.

"You also lent me a few sets of your household items. There are more than one million jins of potatoes at home. It's not a big deal if you don't throw away hundreds of thousands jins. As for potatoes, keep a few tens of thousands jins, that's all."

"Go and have your sweet dreams. I spent a lot of money to buy these things from the academy. If you want them, go and buy them too."

Since the Yun family started making vermicelli, Xin Yue is the most proud. The old people who called her Gua Po Ni two days ago have been running home these days. Looking at Xin Yue, Li Anlan took the family's

The servants were all pressing vermicelli, and they were almost dying of envy. Apart from sending some tools to the Cheng family, Niu family, Qin family, and Yuchi family, if anyone else wanted them, they could only discuss the usage fee with the academy.

The problem is, Xu Jingzong walks proudly these days and only looks at the sky. He is extremely proud that he did not sell his rights.

Li Tai's newly married mother-in-law came to the house, and Li Tai came soon after. She found Yun Ye sleeping on a chair and asked for utensils. She was very confident. When Yun Ye refused to give them, she sat in front of Yun Ye.

A crooked neck tree said again.

"I asked, that killer Xu Jingzong insists on 40% of my family. There is no need to discuss this matter. My mother-in-law has already told me that she only needs a few broken pieces of iron and asked me to make them myself when I get home. I just took a look at it.

, can’t I, the king, make those rotten things? "

"If you have the ability, go ahead and build it. After building it, I will immediately build your wool-weaving machines all over the Tang Dynasty. Believe it or not, if you want the benefits, just buy them obediently. I can't control others. You are like this

You must abide by the rules. Once you break the rules, it will be more terrible than a thousand people breaking the rules. It will be difficult for these sharp weapons to appear again in the future. "

"The Ministry of Industry also went to the academy and wanted this thing. I heard that they were going to give it fifteen guan, which is the highest reward in the Tang Dynasty. Xu Jingzong smiled and said nothing. Mr. Li Gang jumped out and asked the junior official from the Ministry of Industry to take it.

Fifteen guan of money is coming quickly. If you want to benefit the people, you must first pay the royalties of the academy. Two thousand guan is the same price. You can't let me spend two thousand guan to buy a broken iron tool. What do you think?

Why are you losing so much? A million pounds of potatoes are not even worth the price."

"Have you never heard of the story of Qianjin City's horse bones? The academy doesn't care about the money. What the academy cares about is the spirit of research. Whoever studies it benefits from it. Do you know what it means when you develop a wool knitting machine? Great Tang Dynasty

With the emergence of a craft, there is an additional trade that can support the family. Not to mention its role in regulating the grassland, just talking about the economic benefits. In addition to hemp, silk cloth, and silk, we have an additional covering called wool.

The benefits of physical things can be passed down through the ages. Tell me, how much wealth can the wool knitting machine you invented create in a thousand years?

Your Majesty is right to say that the people are the water and the king is the boat. I would like to point out one more point, that is, the people are the water, the king is the boat, and ideas are the sails. The people form the country, and the king controls the country. Only the idea of ​​continuous pioneering and enterprising can make the country more powerful.

This ship rides the wind and waves and keeps moving forward,

Where do ideas come from? They come from elites from all walks of life. Only by constantly breaking the old framework can we always be ahead of the world, and be better able to occupy more of the world's resources and make them available to us.

.

People are profit animals. If you want to make them motivated, you can't just talk about it. You have to spend real money or give them a lofty status. You see, as long as this trend becomes popular, you don't always despise food production.

Is it low? Will someone come up with ways to increase production? Aren’t there always people who complain about not enough copper and iron? There will be people who will find these things and exchange them with the court for merit and money. In the future, all kinds of fantastic ideas will make people

We have seen a new world, Qingque, do you think two thousand guan is too much? Who is the Ministry of Industry humiliating by bringing 15 guan? I was not here at the time. If I were here, I would throw 15 guan at that official.

On the face, this is what Mr. Yan said of ruining a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

After listening to Yun Ye's words, Li Tai thought for a while and asked the guard who came with him to go home and take two thousand guan to the academy to buy the right to use the patent. Seeing that Li Tai was serious, Yun Ye said with a smile: "I just want you to

Understand this truth, I am not asking you to spend more money. If Your Majesty is here, I will explain in more detail that if you want people in the world to abide by the rules, the royal family must set an example."

"Go on, I'm here. It's good to listen to your nonsense in the summer. Just think of it as a way to relieve the heat and relieve boredom." Hearing Li Er's voice, Yun Ye jumped up from the recliner and rode

Li Tai, who was sitting on the crooked tree, also jumped down from the tree and saw Li Er waving his fan and walking in from the moon gate accompanied by Duan Hong. Old Qian followed from a distance without even daring to look up.

When Li Er entered Yun's house, he never announced anything. He just entered with his legs raised, and no one else was allowed to inform him.

He may have walked a lot, but Li Er's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He walked to the lounge chair in a few steps, sat down, unbuttoned his clothes to cool himself down, then pointed at the teapot and closed his eyes to enjoy the coolness.

.

Yun Ye poured herbal tea for Li Er and gave Duan Hong a cup. Li Tai took a new towel from the shelf, soaked it in the cold water, wring it out, and wiped his father's sweat. Li Er took the towel,

Covering his face completely, he said through the towel: "Continue to speak, I was not listening carefully outside just now. It is obvious that the academy wants to defraud money, and it can also involve the principle of serving the country and the people, this is yours

One skill, then lie, so what if you can make me believe in my deception and let you succeed once."

"Your Majesty, the weather is too hot today and everyone is upset. Why don't you come up with a special explanation for this matter? I can't explain it in a hurry. This is a really big reason. I need to think about it before reporting it to Your Majesty."

"Well, after all, I'm getting older. I'm past the age of Hu Chai, and I know how to think carefully. Okay, okay, I'm just waiting for your discount. Today I'll be spending the summer with the Queen. I'm a little hungry, so you can make some.

Light appetizers will make me feel more comfortable. You should also prepare some refreshing meals for the queen. It’s too hot and the big fish and meat won’t be able to melt.”

Naturally, the first snack for people in the northwest to cool off in the summer is stuffed skin. Ever since Yun Ye made this thing, there were so many women in the house that they couldn't live without her for a day. The secret recipe was kept in Xin Yue's place, so he copied it for Li Anlan.

Now the emperor wants to eat, so let it be.

For the emperor's food, Yun Ye didn't dare to take advantage of others, so he cut a large plate himself, added cucumber shreds, gluten, vinegar, spicy oil, mustard, garlic and other condiments, and brought it to Li Er.

Li Er usually didn't ask anything about the food made by Yun Ye. He took it and sat on the chair to eat it. After taking a bite, he nodded and continued to eat. When he finished eating, he said to Yun Ye: "This thing is good. Come back and make the recipe."

Give it to the imperial chef. I will prepare it tomorrow."

Li Tai chuckled. He also asked Yun Ye for it, and was given a lot of stuffed skin as a gift, but the recipe was not given. He wanted to see how Yun Ye would handle the matter in front of him.
