Chapter 13: I also grow cotton
"You can really raise Brother Yi." Li Chengqi heard the price and suddenly realized.
The twelfth jar of soy sauce over there was bought for six thousand dollars.
A catty of six hundred texts, my brothers used to take it for nothing.
If you want to talk about cheap, that's a lie to yourself.
But if it is expensive, it is not expensive.
A bucket of rice is three hundred yuan, and one liter is thirty yuan, and one liter usually weighs one catty eight taels.
Sixteen two a catty, one catty is twenty dollars.
Go to the store to eat soy sauce, but can't eat a catty at a meal.
is about the same as the staple food, not expensive.
"If it didn't sell ten thousand catties the day before yesterday..." Li Chengqi felt that it was cheaper before.
"If you don't sell tens of thousands of catties, how does everyone know soy sauce in Chang'an City?" Li Yi could think about it. The previous one was advertising.
"That's true." Li Chengqi figured it out.
Anyway, Brother Yi can continue to make soy sauce, others must either figure it out or buy it.
It is impossible to grab.
The official grabbed, and the third brother just found the opportunity to take the knife.
The strongman grabs, waits for the veterans to be found, and gives them the crossbow.
It is not soy sauce that protects, but more things that are beneficial to people's livelihood.
Yi Yi can always come up with a good solution, Sinong Temple, Shaofu Supervisor, should learn from Yi Yi.
"The last jar, today's last jar of soy sauce, 7,600 dollars, is there a higher one? I will buy it tomorrow, but it won't be these people anymore."
Manager Song De shouted, his body was trembling at the moment, and he sold a lot of money.
An average of four thousand six hundred and thirty literary works, making soy sauce is very simple, and the cost is negligible.
"Eight thousand, I Guanjiang Tower 8,000 yuan." Someone shouted.
Two court ladies and two eunuchs, dressed in palace costumes, stood by.
They use their identities to tell other people, don't be distracted.
The two court ladies shared a tray and sent a jar of soy sauce to the person who bought it.
People who buy soy sauce see this posture, understand, understand, know, know...
"Big brother, do you like chicken?" Li Yi suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation.
"Eat, stewed and roasted are delicious." Li Chengqi said, looking at Li Yi expectantly.
"I bought some chicken and smoked it for the eldest brother, the third brother, and the elder brothers whom I had never seen before." Li Yi said.
"What do you buy? I'll bring it to you, you, go, catch thirty chickens and come back. Hurry."
Li Chengqi just waited for Li Yi's words, sure enough, there is something delicious.
Don't doubt, let alone hesitate, the third brother is going to ask the people from the Imperial Kitchen to come over and learn how to cook with Yi brother.
dishes, there is actually another way to make them called stir-fry.
Why are the fried dishes so delicious?
Li Yi looks at the sky and the height of the sun.
I figured how long it would take to make the smoked chicken. If I want to take it away before tonight, I have to find someone to help. I can’t do it alone.
In less than half an hour, fifty chickens were brought back by several fast horses.
Li Chengqi said that there are thirty. Those who go to work can’t really just bring thirty. What if it’s not enough?
The soy sauce puffs over there are sold out. Everyone sorts out the money and cloth.
The hostess of ten tenants came over to help kill the chicken.
The pottery bowl is ready, put water and salt, cut the chicken neck and let the blood, and stir in one direction.
When the chicken stops struggling and has no blood, replace it with one.
The students who were studying came out to watch, and there was no such thing as a gentleman's awareness of being far from the kitchen.
They knew that it might not work at noon, but there was chicken blood to eat at night.
There might be chicken stewed yam.
Li Yi also greeted his elder brother Li Chengqi to kill the chicken, and he was skilled in his technique.
Pulled the hair off the chicken's neck, blood spurted out with a knife.
"Is Brother Yi fishing?" Li Chengqi was frightened by the scene of killing the chicken, and asked for a topic.
"I don't fish, but I use nets. I fish for eating, not for fishing." Li Yi said frankly.
He doesn't take fishing as entertainment, he just goes off the net if he wants to eat.
If it's shrimp, it's fishing and nesting. Everything is for eating.
Li Yi put down the second slayed chicken in his hand, and said: "Every living is innocent and can be killed but not abused."
"What if there is a serious crime?" Li Chengqi asked.
"Tortured him thousands of times to discourage latecomers." Li Yi said.
turned around to see everyone fading chicken feathers with boiling water, and said with joy: "The fading hair will be dried in the sun, and the clothes will be filled in winter. We are worthy and non-feathers."
"For others to wear? The people on your Zhuangzi don't use chicken feathers to fill the clothes?" Li Chengqi felt that Yi brother ignored Zhuangzi.
"I bought duck down in the fall in my village. Chicken feathers are not as good as duck down to keep out the cold." Li Yili said boldly.
Li Chengqi nodded, expressing his conviction. If you have money, you can do it.
Speaking of warm clothes this winter, Li Yi remembered one thing.
"Brother, do the Tributary Bai Diezi have seeds? If so, I will plant them by reducing the paddy field." Li Yi asked about the seeds of cotton.
He knows that cotton woven cloth is now being sold, and the price is still very expensive.
Then the people of Chang'an planted that thing as a flower. Some places in the south are already weaving, but the variety is not very good.
It is better to sell cotton fabrics from the Western Regions to Chang'an.
"Yes." Li Chengqi understood this.
also knows about cotton, but that cloth is not as good as silk.
The price is expensive because it is less, which is better than clothes made of hemp.
Everyone grows it to see the flowers. It's fun.
"Then why not have many kinds?" Li Yi wondered.
"It's useless, it's not as smooth as silk, and its output is not as good as mulberry." Li Chengqi gave a reason.
Li Yi took a deep breath and realized.
The original cotton textile technology is not good enough, and the yield per mu is low.
Everyone knows that it can weave, but it doesn’t use it.
Especially north of the Yangtze River, why do you plant this stuff? Is it bad to grow food?
Then there is kapok in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not very cold in winter over there. A little bit of kapok is stuffed in your clothes and it will be good for the winter.
"Brother, get me seeds, I plant them, make good fillings, and the winter is warm." Li Yi asked.
He plans to reduce the rice planting area and change it to cotton.
In the eyes of others, cotton is woven fabric, and then compared with silk, silk, hemp and other fabrics.
But its real purpose is to keep warm. Fur also keeps warm, but fur clothes are heavy and expensive, so few people can afford to wear them?
You don’t have to use cotton to weave.
Silk and linen cloth, cotton serry will do.
And cotton cloth has a characteristic, not as smooth as silk, but it does not hurt the skin like hemp.
Use cotton woven cloth, stuffed with cotton as a quilt, and it's more comfortable to cover.
In winter, you should cover it to keep you warm, and in summer, you can keep your arms cool.
Yes, the quilt can be used in summer, so I hold it in my arms.
Compared with pure cotton quilts, space cotton, air-conditioning quilts, all stand aside.
The first thought of Li Chengji, who has never covered a quilt, was to keep up.
"Brother Yi, how many do you plan to plant?" Li Chengqi asked, and he didn't think there would be a problem.
"200 mu." Li Yi decided to reduce the paddy field to 600 mu.
It’s not a question of money. If the cotton is handled well and there are more kinds of it, especially at the border, it will be planted together, and its lifespan will increase.
"Since this is the case, I also plant it." Li Chengqi said.
He now has a fascinating confidence in his brother Yi.
Everything Brother Yi has to do, it’s absolutely not wrong to keep up.
So he sent someone to collect seeds.
At noon, we were in the big restaurant again, and everyone ate fried chicken miscellaneous and fried chicken blood with green onions.
Some hens still have eggs in their belly, so they steamed egg custard with soy sauce for the children.
There are tenants who open their mouths to say something.
Li Yi could tell and said directly: "Don't tell me anything about the children who don't see the sun eating? And the pigtail children are afraid that after eating them, the fish roe children can't read counts."
He said one, and the dealer nodded in agreement.
"It's shameless for adults, eat good things by themselves, don't let children eat, it's not allowed on my Zhuangzi." Li Yi said flatly.
The farmers suddenly realized that the adults wanted to eat, so they lied to the children. Isn’t that true?
They absolutely believe in what the proprietor said. What the proprietor said must be right. Hearing what others said before was wrong.
The people brought by Li Chengqi ate with them, and the rice was millet rice.
But they found that this dish is too delicious. It is obviously chicken blood and chicken offal. How can it be made so fragrant?
Then they went to see the food eaten by the children in the village, and they were even more greedy.
The children eat mutton siu mai, UU reading www.uukanshu. com leftover lamb the day before yesterday.
I just made buns and fried boxes for the children. Today, the last ones are steamed and steamed.
The child dipped it in soy sauce, and the people who came with Li Chengqi looked distressed.
The last soy sauce is nine thousand two hundred dollars, which is nine hundred and twenty dollars a catty.
The children have a meal, and it's probably gone.
Sixteen two per catty, one hundred and seventy dollars.
And it’s garlic sauce. Are you sure you are the children of tenant tenants? Isn't it the proprietor's birth?
The tenants ate their meals, eating vegetables, eating pickles, and drinking chicken soup.
They know that if you want to repay the proprietor, you have to work more, and you must eat well to work hard.
"Fry with garlic sprouts next time." Li Yi eats chicken blood and loses the spicy taste.
He still can't take out the chili sauce. There are too many people and not enough points.
"Brother Yi, your chicken blood is delicious." Li Chengqi was puzzled. He had eaten chicken blood and sheep blood.
"I used soybean oil, take the tempeh sauce and explode the pot, you always have tempeh sauce, right?" Li Yi said.
"Oh, brother Yi, I have to find someone to squeeze the oil. The soybeans are oily, so I have to explode the pot?"
Li Chengqi has learned how to squeeze soybean oil, and now he is learning how to eat soybean oil.
Li Yi shook his head: "You don't need to cook the oil in the raw oil, you don't need to cook the oil. Put the soybean oil in the big pot, turn off the heat when it is about to smoke, and you don't need to cook the pot when you cook.
"It's smoking already?" Li Chengqi asked.
"It's okay, it doesn't affect anything." Li Yi understood. The soy oil from his home was put in the pot that the eldest brother didn't control the fire, and it smoked.
"Put the vegetables in and simmered." Li Chengqi tangled.
"After it smokes, can you wait for the cold to cool down? Just serve it? You can't do that with meat oil."
Li Yi is distressed, why is this person so stupid?
