Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 257 Another Mid-Autumn Festival
In terms of Jinyu's current family background, he can be regarded as an out-and-out rich man.Perhaps it was Li Ernian who made great contributions and rewarded him generously, which is rare in the ten years since the founding of the country.Wei Zheng usually advises that when Li Er is in a good mood, he only rewards 40 guan, and it should be noted that the unit of this money is not guan, but Wen, which is [-] guan if converted into guan.In those two tossings, Jin Yu remonstrated with Wei Zheng twenty times.

If you have money, it doesn't matter if you spend it, especially at present, the relationship between Jin Yu and the wealthy ministers is not very solid.Last year, Jinyu made mooncakes and gave them to a few families. Taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, in addition to the necessary etiquette, all the dignitaries who can talk will send two drawers of hardcover mooncakes.Although the current production of eggs is not enough to open a pastry workshop, we can take this opportunity to gain popularity and build a reputation. It is not difficult for the pastry workshop to become famous in one fell swoop.

Although Jinyu expected that the mooncakes would be very popular, the enthusiasm was too unexpected, right?Cheng Huaimo was directly stationed in Jinyu, saying that his father has been thinking about this one since last year. It has been a year, and he hasn't eaten a few bites. Now he is waiting for this freshly baked mooncake to fight the famine.Hearing that, Jin Yu wanted to slap him!Could it be that Old Fairy Cheng has been drinking northwest wind all year?Just eating and drinking on his own Zhuangzi no less than ten times!You can't even tell a lie, despise him!
What is even more irritating is Du He, who entered the door with Cheng Huaimo and didn't mention it, saying that my father has been working hard for state affairs, and his spirit has not been good. Ever since he tasted this moon cake, hey, he is in good health and delicious. It's like ten years younger!Jin Yu's first reaction was that Du Xiang didn't want his life?Diabetics still dare to eat moon cakes?Regardless of whether Du Xiang couldn't get it out of his mind, what should be told should be explained clearly. Mooncakes must not enter Du Xiang's mouth unless it is too late.

Anyway, there are various reasons for the dignitaries' children to seek, but there is only one purpose - to ask for moon cakes, the more the better!He was not empty-handed, and the gift he brought in return was much richer than what Jin Yu sent.This allowed Jinyu to see the pastry workshop market. The nobles in the Tang Dynasty were short of living supplies, so he continued to save their stomachs by himself!
Since the start of work on the tenth day of the lunar new year, the oven has never been idle!The servants in Jinyu's mansion worked overtime to make mooncakes, not only consuming all the eggs in stock in the mansion, but also rushing to collect eggs from inside and outside the city.Seeing Cheng Huaimo idling and itching, besides squatting at the door of the kitchen waiting for the mooncakes to come out, he just enjoys eating mooncakes. If he is not assigned to do some work, I will be sorry to God!
"One hundred eggs are exchanged for mooncakes. I will pay for the money, and you can buy the eggs!" Jin Yu ignored Cheng Huaimo's protest, and kicked Cheng Huaimo, who was full of mooncakes in protest, out of the house with three punches and two kicks, "Without eggs, there would be no mooncakes Be careful to go home empty-handed at night and ask Uncle Cheng to tighten your skin!"

For a moment, Cheng Huaimo's eyes were big and there were signs of anger. He stretched his neck and swallowed the mooncake in his mouth.He doesn't want to be beaten to death by his father!

Once Huaimer comes out, who will fight?For a time, eggs were expensive in Chang'an, making chicken farmers happy like Chinese New Year, dignitaries buying and complaining like mourning concubines``````
"How many eggs are you buying today?" Buyer A clasped his hands and asked Buyer B.Around the [-]th day of August, the greetings were changed, and the buyers of the dignitaries first asked about the results, and then exchanged greetings.

"It's a bad start, my younger brother bought the last thirteen pieces in the west market first." Although Cai Maiyi said verbally that he was a bad start, his appearance was clearly showing off, how could he be in a hurry? "I heard that the stewards of the Cheng family walked around the streets and yelled to collect them. How can there be any eggs left for us to buy?"

"The Cheng family? Which Cheng family?" Purchasing Mai A was puzzled and asked.

"Which other Cheng's family is there?" To buy the second deer head and mouse eyes, he glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, then whispered: "It's the Cheng old goblin's family! I don't know why I bought so many eggs! How much money can I make?" It’s a hard-earned money, and I won’t receive it if I don’t post the money these days.”

"Hiss``" Purchasing armor was like having a toothache, and took a deep breath, "Since the Cheng family's bag is round, it's really hard to collect the eggs, my little brother has cheap legs, take a few more steps, and go to the surrounding Zhuangzi See if you can pick it up and touch it." After saying goodbye to Caimaiyi, he didn't want to pester Old Fairy Cheng.Old goblin Cheng is the kind of person who dares to play tricks in the Golden Luan Palace, attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold, invincible and slaughtering countless cities, anyone can criticize it?

No one dares to criticize the old goblin, which doesn't mean that Cheng old goblin doesn't criticize others. The old goblin stuffed mooncakes in his mouth, and scolded Jin Yu, saying: "Prodigal son! It's not enough for me to prodigal, and I'm still using Huaiyu? Improve farm tools ? Can there be any mistakes in what the ancestors passed down? If you change Huaiyu into iron, which farmer can afford it?"

Jin Yu's hatred, wishing he could find a piece to turn around and kill this old goblin, isn't it because Cheng Huaimo mobilized their housekeeper?As far as the old goblin's reputation is concerned, the matter of not snapping up eggs is not much better, no wonder you are looking for yourself?Wasn't it urged by these foodies?

"Forget it, moon cakes can't shut your mouth?" Qin Qiong sneered at Cheng Yaojin, and the bastard finally shut up. "Is this plow made according to the pattern of your clan?" Qin Qiong asked, pointing to Qu Yuanli on the ground.

"No." Jin Yu shook his head resolutely. The plow tools used by later generations are much more advanced than the ones in front of him. Jin Yu's denial is not considered a lie, "Didn't Huaiyu figure it out?"

"You, slippery head!" Qin Qiong pointed Jin Yu with a finger, and said with a smile: "Among this pile of farm tools, only the plow tool is very useful, and you are not stingy."

"Hey, son-in-law, there's nothing you can do about it. As long as you can hold this thing, it counts as long as it lasts. Then son-in-law will think of other ways." We both know each other's thoughts, and the Qin family really needs something that can be sold. Li Er's attention, Jin Yu is also making up for his omissions.But from Qin Qiong's tone of voice, it seems that the improvement of farm tools has failed?It seems that the cost is too high``````
"Well, the old man won't say polite words, let Huaiyu learn more from you for a while." Qin Qiong stroked his beard with a smile, seeing Jinyu getting more and more satisfied, Yang Ying, a goddaughter, recognized her worth!
The father-in-law speaks, and it is not the younger generation's turn to refuse. The blueprints can be given, but the old ones are fine. Both the father and son of the Qin family understand, but the old goblin seems to be a little confused: "This iron lump looks no different from the plow we use. what?"

"It looks the same, but it's very different in use." Qin Qiong didn't understand torque or anything, so he could only talk about the experimental results, and finally asked Jin Yu: "My son-in-law will tell you Uncle Cheng."

"This ``````" Jin Yu was very conflicted, how should he explain it to Old Fairy Cheng?Does he know what torque is?
"What this and that? Are you still hiding from your elders?" Old goblin Cheng stared at Jin Yu, looking a little bigger than Cheng Huaimo's, staring at Jin Yu.

"Maybe it's a skillful use? It seems that this curved rod is working." Jin Yu looked at the pair of bull's eyes and said aggrievedly. Just now he told Qin Qiong that it was not a product of his own clan, and it was better to push it to Qin Huaiyu. "Huaiyu, what do you think?"

"This ``````" Qin Huaiyu saw Jin Yu kicking the question to himself, his expression was more aggrieved than Jin Yu's, he was just following the gourd, if his brother-in-law can't explain the principle clearly, where can he figure it out? ?

"What this and that? Go back and figure it out before breaking up with the old man!" The old goblin Cheng was very dissatisfied and rushed out of humanity.

The two younger brothers looked at Qin Qiong as if they were being pardoned, and only bowed and left after Qin Qiong nodded implicitly.

"Huaiyu, serve two more moon cakes, this is not enough for the old man to squeeze between his teeth." Cheng Yaojin yelled in the room, but then the full belch revealed his ugly face.

"Old killer! Good for nothing!" Listening to Qin Qiong teaching Old Fairy Cheng, the two younger brothers walked out of the yard quickly holding back their laughter. This Uncle Cheng also has a cute side, doesn't he?
Generally speaking, this is a failed innovation. The reason is that iron is too expensive. There are very few iron utensils in the farmers’ homes. An iron pot is used for cooking, cooking rice, and boiling water. The ax for chopping wood is borrowed. Useful, in the final analysis is still poor.Failure is the mother of success. Since this method can't solve the urgent need of the Qin family, it seems that we have to find another mother for success. I hope we can find the right method next time.

The good news is that the prescription of Qingxiazi works well. In three to five days, more than half of the fleas and lice disappeared.After labor gets off work every day, according to Jin Yu's request, he takes a bucket of potion home and sprinkles it at home.The base number of farmers is a bit large, and the potion can't survive at the beginning. After the farmers inquired about the owner's purpose, they all said that they don't bother the owner to worry about it, and just go home and make it by themselves.It turns out that the so-called secret recipe of Qingxiazi is boiled Baibugen, everyone knows it!
Baibu, a very miraculous plant, the boiled medicinal soup is harmless to the human body, but it is extremely lethal to insects, and basically does not run away.The traces are all over the mountains and fields. In the ancient times when there was a lack of pesticides, the working people used it to prevent and control insects.During the slack season, farmers often collect some and dry them for later use. Every household has them, and it doesn’t cost money``````
After Jinyu understood, he scolded Qingxiazi for being cunning.I thought that when I came to the Tang Dynasty, I was the only one who cheated others. How could I want to be cheated by the ancients?The most failed time traveler was born - Jinyu.

Jin Yu was very angry. On the one hand, he was cheated, and more importantly, there were more than 100 mooncakes eaten by Qingxiazi!This guy hasn't eaten anything else since the mooncakes came out of the pan, so his strong stomach can bear it.

"It is indeed the inheritance of the poor Taoist school. The wonderful use of the hundred parts was discovered by the poor Taoist Zu Huayang. , Qingxiazi still has plausible words, and has repeatedly stated that he did not lie to Jinyu. (Huayang Layman: Tao Hongjing’s Dao name, the medicinal use of Baibu is indeed Tao Hongjing’s first written in medical books.)
"Give me back the mooncakes!" It's okay to be scolded by the old goblin Cheng, that guy has killed countless people, Jin Yu dare not provoke him, but Qingxiazi, although good at martial arts, the damage is relatively low, bullying Qingxiazi has a high safety factor .

"It's gone." Qingxiazi ignored Jin Yu's unreasonableness, and searched for his pet on himself and put it in his mouth, "Why don't you teach me all the martial arts skills?"

"I want mooncakes!"

"The poor Taoist eats up everything, why don't you teach me medicine? The poor Taoist never hides his secrets!"
