The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

A pot of whale oil boiled out. Fiction

Soon everyone discovered a serious problem.

There is not enough water in the bucket.

The sailors didn't care. Taking out their washbasins and footbaths was still not enough.

In the principle of absolutely not wasting.

The sailors started to borrow barrels everywhere.

Fortunately, the people of Ningbo are grateful for the preparation of the Japanese security guard.

This disaster can survive, and the big yellow croaker who is prepared by the Japanese guardian understands that even if the big yellow croaker sells ten articles and twenty articles, it still does not worry about the sales, but it still sells for ten articles, and it remains To save people.

Many people survived as a result.

Everyone has a simple concept. If you saved me, you are gracious. I might not be able to give this kindness, but I want to borrow a barrel, but it means nothing.

Many people have brought their own foot basins, washbasins, bathtubs, and buckets to the ground. On this beach, countless pots are piled up like mountains.

A pot of oil weighs nearly one hundred thousand catties. After heating and cooling, it is put into the pot and gradually starts to solidify.

Tang Yin followed the teacher's method, took a few spoons of oil, plugged in the wick, and then ordered someone to take the fire and light it.

Wen Yansheng was still reluctant to leave. In his life, since this Japanese guardian came, it has become more and more knowledgeable.

Originally thought that this oil was eaten.

I couldn't help but shed some saliva. As a result, Tang Yin used it to make wax. I was disappointed in my heart and swallowed the saliva.

The wick ignited and glowed brightly.

The candlelight is much brighter than usual.

Wen Yansheng is a reader, and readers love the night. When they look at this bright light, they are happy: "This light is very bright."

The two had arrived at Shui Zhai. The whale oil of Sanliang was just lighted up. The room was bright. The two greeted the old for a while. Wen Yansheng couldn't help but look at the oil and took a breath. " This whale oil has been on for so long, and almost no signs of wear are visible to the naked eye. "

Ordinary candles, one hour, almost no one, and this whale oil

"This is a treasure." Wen Yansheng said with a frown: "Almost one hundred thousand catties of oil, but I don't know how many candles can be made. It can be burned for so long.

Tang Yin was also shocked.

Lighting is an extravagant thing in this era. Reading people only light candles at night. The average person is willing to give up at night. On the one hand, the candle is expensive, and secondly, the candle is not burned, and it is only the light of cardamom. Not bright enough.

Now with this whale oil, who would still use that ordinary candle.

"A giant fish can boil so much oil. If so, catch more, how much can be produced each year? This is really good."

Wen Yansheng praised.

Tang Yin was also very shocked. According to this calculation, two or two oils could actually burn for five hours, enough for ordinary people to use for four or five days, and one pound is sixteen two, two twenty-two into one candle, and one pound is eight candles. One hundred thousand catty of oil is almost one million candles. This is just a whale. If you come down in January, you will catch more fish. Even if the candle only sells for one or two pennies, it is a terrible number.

Of course, Beiweiwei doesn't have to make wax by himself, just sell these whale oils. I'm afraid that some people are willing to make wax for them. This year, they have made countless profits.

Now there is only one ship with Japanese guards, what if there are more?

noon.

Wen Yansheng was already busy.

A load of whale meat was sent directly to the shed.

His happy predecessor cooked a piece of salt, put it a bit, and fishy, ​​Wen Yansheng shook his head, but this whale meat, but not like fish meat, but with a bit of beef chewy.

The long sideman looked at Zhifu.

Wen Yansheng wanted to say that it was similar to beef, just about to speak, and swallowed cautiously. Although beef can be slaughtered as long as there is an official manuscript, but because cattle are good helpers for farming, people's behavior on eating beef is or More or less disgusted, he is a good parent, and it is better not to mention beef.

"This meat is tender and gluten, and the quality of the meat is good. It is only fishy, ​​which is a pity." He smiled. In fact, he missed the beef he had eaten a few years ago, which is really worthy of memory. Days, the taste is really good. Unfortunately, even if he can eat beef, it is a luxury. He continued: "However, if it can cover its fish, it will definitely be a delicious dish, so be it."

After thinking for a while, he turned the chopsticks in his hand, with a confident calmness on his face, slowly said: "Don't steam and stew the meat in the future, but fry it, let the oil heat first, let the boiling oil boil, and then put the pepper , Sauces, scallions, ginger, etc. Of course, only a small amount is added in moderation, but it loses its flavor. After frying, do n’t rush to the pot, put a small handful of celery, order two drops of vinegar, turn over Stir fry one or two, then go to the pot, and try it. "

The cooks in the sheds are all laborers, usually recruited by the government, or carrying the sedan to the officials, or helping the servants in the kitchen, or making way for them. If it is a bit worse, it is hard labor. Therefore, the labor in the kitchen is actually the most leisurely. It is good to eat. It is only responsible for the three meals of the officials. It is comfortable. But it is unavoidable to be a cook in the prefectural office.

There are too many tricks in Zhifu, and there is a new dish every three to five, and it is said that the pattern is renovated, which makes the cook feel that his brain is a bit insufficient.

After preparing the fried whale meat according to Wen Yansheng's method, Wen Yansheng took the chopsticks and tasted it. He suddenly smiled and said: "This is also a delicacy, tender and tender, and it is very refreshing and good. I will follow this in the future. Cooking. "

Today, only the fried whale meat is served with rice, which tastes surprisingly good, and pats his belly comfortably, which makes people take a sip of fragrant tea: "In the future, we will have a mouthful of food in Ningbo, three and five pounds of meat, Where can I find a penny of fish?

"Master, you said, catching such a big fish, if this time, the master plays and reports a good fortune, wouldn't this be a big thing?"

Wen Yansheng was silent for a moment and shook his head: "This merit has nothing to do with the old man. This is the credit of others, whether it is to reward the auspicious, or to give a treasure. This is all written by Tang Xiu. The old husband is only responsible for eating. Go for it, he is a young man, different from the old man, the old man is old, the heart of fame and fortune has long faded, he can serve as an official, be a parent official, do not be greedy or occupy, and barely do something for the people Lord, you can still change patterns every day, and eat so many rare dishes, it will be enough. You do n’t need credit, do n’t forget. "

He hummed a little song happily.

After learning that whale oil can make candles, and is still the best candle, almost all the whale oil was quickly sold out.

There are eight thousand two silvers selling meat and oil.

What a terrible number this is, so here we go.

Tang Yin had never seen so many silvers, and scared himself to death. While aiming at catching giant fish this time, he ordered the craftsmen to improve the bow of the fishing, while letting people reinforce the hull. At the same time, he was determined to order a new ship.

The remaining silver is of course directly to the military officers and soldiers.

The sailors got silver and all smiled and became more energetic. They all cried out to go whaling one by one, but this trip, but everyone was seven or two silver, it was more generous than catching yellow croakers. , Dozens of two silvers will be available.

These guys who are not afraid of death, as long as they have money, dare to do anything.

Tang Yin closed the door and repaired a letter of Shuhe, together with the skeleton of the giant whale, and ordered people to transport quickly.

If you want to transport goods from Ningbo to Beijing, if you use a sea boat to take a section of the sea and send it to Hangzhou, then Hangzhou Caoyun will send it to Beijing from the canal. If it is faster, you can arrive in more than 20 days.

This garrison has gradually started to get on track.

What is lacking most now is the ship. If there is no new ship, there is no way to expand the soldiers, just to build the ship, but it takes a lot of time. This is where Tang Yin is most troubled.

A violent defeat defeated the headquarters.

Ma Wensheng hasn't jumped recently.

But at this time, His Royal Highness the Prince was even playing Shushu. Of course, this Shushu was played by Fang Jifan together. The two people searched the stomach and told the stomach. To be honest, they were not writing materials for Shushu. They stared at each other for a long time. Shooting: "Yes, according to what the three treasures eunuchs originally wrote."

"What, do you still recognize the three treasures eunuchs?" Zhu Houzhao lies on the case.

Fang Jifan despised him and immediately remembered the death of Emperor Wen, Emperor Renzong ascended the throne, and when he wanted to stop going west, the **** Zheng He of the Three Treasures went up in words: "For the country to be prosperous and strong, the ocean must not be ignored. It also comes from the sea. Once the king of another country wins the Western Ocean, China is in danger. China ’s fleet is invincible, and it can be used to expand business and suppress foreign land, so that it does not dare to covet the Nanyang. "

"The three treasures eunuchs said these words?" Zhu Houzhao lay on the case and began to copy.

Fang Jifan said: "I said."

"Oh."

Fang Jifan added another sentence: "On top of Wang Yang ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ There are countless fish, this is also meat, and the food is inexhaustible. If fishing is carried out, the embarrassment of the imperial court can be relieved, and the people can be satisfied. The desire of the mouth and mouth can serve both purposes. "

Zhu Houzhao nodded again and said, "It's very good, but"

Zhu Houzhao stopped his pen: "Lao Fang, in order to **** the remaining sea ships of the Ministry of Defense to our town state, are we a little bit omnipotent? We might as well ask the father and emperor directly."

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao felt that his self-esteem was stimulated: "Why is not coming, this palace is the son of the father and emperor, dear."

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "Chen knows that this is the biggest problem, it is because he is a pro son, and His Royal Highness can still live to this day, otherwise"

"Otherwise?"

Fang Jifan looked up and looked at Fang Liang: "Otherwise, you are not His Majesty's son, and you have no brain disease. Although His Majesty is generous, he is afraid that he has also died a hundred times. The minister spoke a little straight, don't mind."
