As the rumors spread more and more, and some people indeed made huge profits from it, more and more people paid attention to it to make a fortune.
Nowadays, even the price of female donkeys is extremely high, because there are always people who have a long-term vision and plan to breed them on a large scale. This is a long-term way to make money.
At the same time, I have to say that the old guys in the court are really ruthless. Under their leadership, they wiped out all the wild donkeys within a radius of two to three hundred miles of Chaoge City. As long as they were male donkeys, they would be killed.
Lose.
The only person who was unhappy about this incident was Huang Feihu.
Although his wife did not spread the news about his hidden illness, he would no longer be able to hunt wild donkeys easily in the future.
If you still want to raise your head in front of your wife in the future, you should at least run a long distance every time you go hunting.
Qi Yuan didn't care at all about the consequences of this matter. He happily counted the gifts that came to his door every day, and the wrinkles on his face turned into chrysanthemums with joy.
After working hard for many days, the trend gradually subsided.
However, as some old guys regained their prominence, they proudly began to publicize how brave they were in bed.
And some old guys who feel that it doesn't have much effect think that they should eat less. If they eat more, maybe it will be effective?
So, inexplicably, money, money, meat, just like the hyped house prices, became extremely popular, and the prices climbed even more sharply, leaving the common people speechless.
Because the New Year is approaching, there are frequent visits to various government offices. If any official asks the other for help, as long as he brings a piece of money and meat to the door, he will be in trouble.
In fact, in Qi Yuan's view, the more such things happen, the better.
Although this kind of expensive thing cannot be bought or used by ordinary people, it will give more ordinary people an opportunity to make money.
More and more people come to Qi Yuan to study under his master, and many of them don't even want to learn much. As long as they can learn how to make money and meat, it is a craft that can make them rich.
Qi Yuan is willing to accept more descendants, which will be more beneficial to his plan to become a god, but his yard is a bit small and his energy is limited, so he cannot accept everyone at once.
So he could only let these people come back later, or he could learn from the disciples who had already become disciples.
In terms of teaching cooking skills, Qi Yuan except for a few disciples who are particularly talented as chefs will teach for an extra period of time, most of the others use cramming education, recruiting a group of disciples to learn every month, and at the end of the month
How much you can learn from driving people away depends on your own luck.
Even so, those people all looked grateful.
Because the skills they learned are enough for them to have their own foothold in the catering industry.
…………
The rise of the human race in the ancient times is still a little short, and they often have to face all kinds of savage beasts, so even the New Year Festival in Chaoge City is only more lively than before. People with extra wealth will make a few new things.
Even poor people would buy some meat and cook a delicious meal for their families.
Qi Yuan's small courtyard was relatively deserted, and all the disciples had gone home. Even if new disciples came to learn from his master, they would have to wait until after the New Year.
Qi Yuan did not dare to keep the old man Jiang Ziya for too long. If he delayed the matter of becoming a god and aroused the dissatisfaction of the bosses above, he would definitely be in trouble, so he also asked old man Jiang to become a disciple.
Gone home.
According to Jiang Ziya, he plans to run a winery after the new year, and his sworn brother has already arranged a place for him.
In response, Qi Yuan said he wished him a prosperous business, but in his heart he was clear and knew that he would definitely not be able to continue.
Of course, Qi Yuan did not dare to say anything about this matter.
The reason why he got close to Jiang Ziya was just for future plans, but he never dared to mislead Jiang Ziya in any other way.
He originally thought that he would be alone this year, but before he could experience the feeling of being lonely and desolate and lament his miserable experience, King Zhou sent someone to summon him to the palace and asked him to attend the palace night banquet.
Sometimes, show off your skills.
Of course, it was Qi Yuan who directed the imperial chefs to do most of the work. After all, King Zhou was hosting a banquet for his ministers, and he would definitely not be able to handle it all by himself.
When the banquet began, King Zhou did not treat him badly and invited him to join the banquet.
In any case, Qi Yuan still holds the title of a sage, and in addition, all the important officials in the court now treat Qi Yuan with courtesy, so he will not be left out in the cold.
Of course, since they are important ministers in the court, there are not many young people, otherwise they would not be able to reach the position of important ministers if they are not qualified enough.
Among these older ministers, there were few who had not gone to Qi Yuan to ask for the money and meat that could make them live again.
Therefore, Qi Yuan not only did not feel lonely, he was frequently toasted.
While drinking, they enjoyed the songs and dances performed by the palace musicians.
Speaking of this, I have to sigh that King Zhou really knew how to enjoy life.
Although Qi Yuan is not too interested in the current music, the dancing ladies are all very beautiful, especially the light veils on their bodies, which vaguely reveal a different kind of spring, which makes him very happy.
This old bachelor was a little moved.
But he didn't show any ugly behavior. After all, he still had to maintain his respectable image. Unlike those old guys, whose eyes were shining and they wanted to rush forward and lift up the thin veil to see what was hidden behind.
It's like holding something precious.
After the Chinese New Year, people kept coming to visit him every day, and he was overwhelmed with gifts.
A few days later, new disciples gradually crowded into his courtyard again, and it was still lively and lively every day, not deserted at all.
It wasn't until the spring breeze picked up and the earth was covered with fresh green that Qi Yuan spread the news that he was about to travel far.
Once word spread, people kept coming to dissuade him, including important officials in the court, some disciples, and many people who failed to learn cooking skills from him.
Qi Yuan looked down upon those "important ministers".
These old-hearted guys don't just want him to invent a few more dishes that nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang so that they can ruin their little girls?
"These old perverts!" Qi Yuan cursed in his heart. He didn't know how many women they had in their house. Even at such an old age, he was not afraid of getting pregnant soon.
He would never admit that he had such a trace of jealousy in his heart.
Those who still want to learn cooking from him, Qi Yuan will send them away and let them learn from those who have already become apprentices to him.
Fortunately, others tried to persuade him, but for Huang Feihu, an old friend, Qi Yuan could only start deceiving him again, telling him that he had been staying in Chaoge City for a long time, and that he was going to embark on a journey again, traveling through the wilderness, to realize what he had once been.
Dream and perfect your own recipes.
Qi Yuan's so-called recipes are what he has made in his free time over the past few months. They are divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower. There is no distinction between them, but the things recorded are different.
The first volume records various things that can be used as condiments, such as the production methods of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, the flavors of pepper, star anise, fennel and other seasonings, and some Chinese medicines that can be used in dishes. Some of them he also drew pictures for reference.
Reference for future generations.
Zhongjuan recorded the cooking methods of various vegetables, whether they were cold or hot dishes, or pickled vegetables and kimchi, he wrote them down one by one.
The next volume is about various meat and medicinal recipes, mainly the more common poultry and livestock. As for the rarer ingredients, he is still slowly collecting them. When he has collected them all, he can officially complete the work.
Of course, perfecting the recipe was just an excuse for him. The real reason was that he felt that staying in Chaoge City was no longer of much use.
Therefore, he planned to go out to look for opportunities and see if he could get some benefits.
