Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 276 Who Says Selling Dried Sweet Potatoes Can't Have a High Name?

After seven or eight days of busy work, the sweet potatoes were harvested in a hurry. Although the sweet potatoes had just been harvested, many people came to ask if they could sell some sweet potato seeds. There were landlords near Zhuangzi, officials, aristocratic families, and powerful people. It's a pity that Jin Yu didn't know much about the so-called five surnames and seven wangs, and he wasn't too cold, so he always shirked that he hadn't thought it through yet, and hinted that he would refer to the court's opinion.Jin Yu is not lying, after all, Li Erye has not yet announced how to promote it, so the people who came to ask had to return angrily.

Due to the sufficient reserves of sweet potato seeds last year, the harvest of large-scale planting this year is very impressive.Jinyu harvested nearly 5 million catties in 135 dumps, which of course included sweet potato seeds for next year.The number is large enough, and Yang Ying, who knew the general result, was already worried, where to put so many sweet potatoes?
"Little fool, who said that we need fresh sweet potatoes? Let's only keep the medium-sized ones, let the servants slice the small ones and dry them into dried sweet potatoes, and the big ones will jump out, slice a part, and keep a part for the husband's own magical use. Hurry up and make arrangements." Jin Yu doted on Yang Ying's head silently, although Yang Ying has grown a lot taller these days, but Jin Yu still feels a little bit evil, and this cannot be changed in a day and a half.

In line with the principle of making the best use of everything, Jin Yu harassed his younger brother, Sun Simiao, with a basket of fresh sweet potatoes. Old man Sun still looked like a fairy, and he had completely given up cleaning himself up within a few months after he came to Jinjiazhuangzi Yes, I spend all day in the laboratory that Jinyu prepared for himself, tinkering with all kinds of gadgets. Of course, this is called research.

"Old Sun!" Jin Yu knocked on the door for a long time, no one paid any attention, and shouted loudly. This title is probably the only one.

"Brother is here? Pindao is studying the cell division that brother said, it's really amazing." Sun Simiao ran out with a scruffy beard and opened the door for Jin Yu.

"Well, it's good to have the motivation to do this kind of research." Jin Yu was a little bit dumbfounded seeing Sun Simiao's appearance as a scientific madman. His original intention was to kidnap him to let him study some medicine, but he didn't expect him to study biology! "Brother, brother, I still want to persuade you a few words. I think you should focus on medical research and not give up your heart!"

"Senior brother taught me the lesson." Sun Simiao respected his master, and he nodded and listened to what this little senior brother said.

"Do you think this will work? I will prepare some paper and ink for you. You will write down the herbs you know, their habits, and what diseases they can treat. What other diseases and symptoms will be written down, and how to prepare and treat them? You don't have to worry about the cost, after you finish writing, the senior brother will find a suitable opportunity to print it out for you, not only can help more people, but also help you become famous, what do you think?" Jin Yuchun Chunshan Yudao, this slovenly old Taoist has written works such as "Qian Jin Fang" and "Xin Tang Materia Medica", which would have been lost due to printing and other reasons in the past, but now it is different. I have the ability to help him realize the printing, and Pass it on!If he had been obsessed with biology, he might have achieved something, but who would write this masterpiece of Chinese medicine?How much is the loss?

"This... this..." Old Sun rubbed his hands with an excited expression, not knowing what to say.

"Since you are willing, then it's settled!" Jin Yu patted Sun Simiao on the shoulder, with a sincere tone, which gave him a special sense of accomplishment, "When writing, you must check for mistakes, and you can go to the place where you are not sure. Discuss it with our master, and when the first draft is finished, I will help you read it and delete the incorrect ones, and we only need the accurate and accurate version!" Jin Yu is very aware of this point, because the level of science is not high. High, people don't know enough about the disease, and even Lao Sun has made low-level mistakes.For example, write a talisman, let the patient incinerate into ashes and drink water, or hug a big rooster to cure the disease, and so on.Although both of these are related to his identity - a Taoist priest, can we not be so nonsense?Jinyu definitely doesn't want this to happen.

"Success! Pindao listen to senior brother!" Sun Simiao scratched his hair and agreed.

"I brought you some sweet potatoes. You can study if they have any medicinal properties. Sweet potato seedlings seem to have some effect on diabetes. There are plenty of them in the field. Just grab some and come back to study." After Sun Simiao was settled, Jin Yu was in a good mood and pointed out Touching Sun Simiao's hair, he asked, "Do you have an itchy head? Do you have a lot of scalp? By the way, I will prepare some medicine, which can remove brain oil and scalp. Give me a formula after verification."

"It's not difficult to cure an itchy scalp, so I'll write it to my brother." While writing, Sun Simiao explained to Jin Yu: "Recently, Pindao has become obsessed with research and has no time to clean himself up. That's why he seems a bit down and out. Pindao I used this recipe before, and it is very easy to use, senior brother just use it."

"Okay, then senior brother won't be polite to you. When I have free time, I often go to the master's place, take out all the medical knowledge in his stomach, and write it in your book. I will tell him about it later." Looking at Sun Simiao In this way, Jin Yu added another task to him.In fact, Chinese medicine has its own unique features. It was already very developed in the Tang Dynasty, but many prescriptions were lost due to self-preservation.Although Jinyu has not thought of how to promote it, he might as well sort it out first, and talk about the remaining issues later.

Qingxiazi, an old man, is very tired and lazy. He eats everything but eats, but when it comes to his mouth, it becomes a practice... It's as ridiculous as a foodie saying that he is full to lose weight.

Jin Yu didn't have the ability to instruct Qing Xiazi to do anything, but it was still possible to ask him to teach Sun Simiao some medical prescriptions.At the beginning, Qingxiazi must have been 1 unhappy. After Jinyu increased the supply of sweet potatoes, he could only give in... Who made him a standard foodie!
Jin Yu felt like a spinning top, he was so busy that he couldn't stop.Needless to say, preparing lessons, going to work, and approving homework, the rest of the time has to be guided by the greenhouse planting. Jinyu is not sure about the temperature, so he started to press the windows and build shelves on the greenhouse before it was cold. The first batch of greenhouse vegetables can come out after the cold weather, and the Qin Cheng family's two batches of stewards will be sent here every day, and they will go back to guide them after learning.

It is necessary to teach labor how to make dried sweet potatoes. The production of dried sweet potatoes is also very particular. Steaming is the best, followed by boiling. In order to cook quickly, large pieces of sweet potatoes should be cut into the pot.After steaming, let it cool and peel off the skin, cut it into strips and dry it in the sun, turn it over and dry it two or three times a day, and store it when it is moderately soft and hard.If it is soft in the sun, it will be easy to mold, and if it is too hard, it will be toothache. This degree has to be confirmed by Jinyu, so that it will be flatulent for several days-eating too much dried sweet potato.

In the evening, Jinyu also stayed up late to write a sweet potato promotion plan, including various aspects of publicity and the decoration standards of the specialty store.Jin Yu has already obtained the manuscript named by Li Erye himself, and it was handed over to Jin Yu by Changle in class. Although there is no ostentatious publicity, but the signboard is hung out, and you can see the gang of officials approved by Li Erye He will definitely recognize it, and the impact will be even greater, so Jinyu is now sending people to pay close attention to the decoration of the specialty store.The signboard is also under intense production. Everything is based on Li Erye's inscription, and it is called Yushuxuan!Although it is a specialty store for buying dried sweet potatoes, who said it can't be made taller?Jinyu requested that Yushu Restaurant be able to open at the end of August, and that the source, eating method, nutritional value, and taboos of Yushu should be written on the wall of the store.Of course, the source is stated to express that this thing is brought by myself, the most authentic!Lay a good foundation for long-term retail in the future.After coming here for more than a year, Jin Yu finally understood one thing. When someone else does this next year, he can call it a time-honored brand with confidence!More importantly, the common people recognize it!Even if I just did this business a year in advance!

For the word "Xuan", Jin Yu didn't take much trouble. He definitely didn't dare to send sweet potatoes to the palace again, so he had to go to Du's mansion again, and asked Du Xiang to find a sweet potato from Erye Li's reply. When the word "Xuan" was drawn, Du Xiang was quite respectful, but the wonderful look on Du Xiang's face at that time was nothing to mention.That is to say, Du Xiangjin followed Li Erye's instruction of "let him torment" and let Jin Yu do whatever he wanted, otherwise he would have beaten Jin Yu out.

In August, Jin Yu sneaked in and made a batch of mooncakes, which were paired with sweet potatoes and delivered door-to-door, which can be regarded as making Yushu famous.Things began to straighten out a little towards the end of August.Since the autumn harvest has already ended, more vendors are transporting and selling goods to Chang'an.Last year, Jinjiazhuangzi attracted crowds of spectators, and this year it also attracted the crowds of vendors. A row of large pots were lined up for steaming sweet potatoes. Don't refuse, eat it all.Although Jinyu has coal at home, he cannot afford such a large-scale application.The only disadvantage of using firewood is that there is more smoke!You can see it clearly from a long distance. If you don’t know it, you think it’s a fire. I’ve been here because of this smoker. After knowing what’s going on, he laughed and went back, and he wouldn’t come out with righteous accusations. : How much black smoke do you produce with such a desperate little firewood?Do you know how much air is polluted?The severe smog is caused by you!fine!
If the yamen servant really dared to say that without bringing Jin Yu out to speak, the farmer's family would come out and jump up and scold: Are you full of food?In the 5000 years of Chinese civilization, the common people burn like this every year, and there is no smog!I think the smog is coming out of your mouth! (This is only dedicated to the people who smoked bacon and lay guns)

Of course, the yamen servants will not criticize, and the farmers will not jump out to scold the street. The vendors in the past will only think that Jinjiazhuangzi is popular and lively, not to mention the restaurant staff who come out to distribute sweet potato sticks?Each person has a small root, let you taste it, and make a name for Yushu.This is also one of Jinyu's publicity strategies. Vendors are most sensitive to the sales and profits of goods. With the promotion of vendors traveling all over the world, it's no wonder that sweet potatoes are less well-known!
After learning about the situation, many vendors will also come to inquire about sweet potatoes. Some want to make a small deal for wholesale, and some want to contract a large number of general agents. Of course, more people want to get sweet potato seeds. Faced with this situation In this case, Jinyu will ask his staff to hand over the printed leaflets to the consultants.The above is nothing more than listing information such as the nutritional value and yield of yam, and more importantly, revealing a piece of information-Jinjiazhuang will conduct an auction of yam seeds in early November!It also gave a detailed description of the auction, threshold, deposit, expected income, and information such as technical guidance that will be obtained after winning the bid.
