Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 97 One Penny, One Bowl (A New Week for Assistance)
"No way, such a bowl of porridge costs a lot of money!" The third uncle suddenly felt pain, and said anxiously: "Don't say that you need to add dried fish powder, because the food in the porridge is more than a penny, what are you doing?" Planning to lose money!

Listen to the old man, sir, don't do this!Relief for the victims is what His Majesty should do, let's live a good life, if you really can't bear it, just give a pair of steamed buns to beggars on the road!If you plan to pay a penny for a bowl of porridge, no matter how big your family business is, it will not be enough for you! "

Seeing the anxious look of the third uncle, Zhang Yi felt very comfortable.

After all, if you are a person in your own village, you know how to think for yourself.However, he felt that the third uncle might have misunderstood what he meant, and when he called Yun Ren, he saw Yun Ren walking over with a tray.

"Young Master, Third Uncle!" Yun Ren skillfully placed the tray on the stone table not far from Third Uncle, and immediately two bowls of fragrant green paste appeared in front of his eyes.

Zhang Yi just sat down, smiled and said to the third uncle: "Third uncle probably didn't eat breakfast, how about a bowl of porridge?"

"This..." Third Uncle hesitated.

After all, it was the Viscount's Mansion, so he was actually very satisfied to be able to speak a few words with Zhang Yi. As a farmer, he felt that he was already a very rare exception, but when he drank porridge at the Lord's house, he felt a little unnatural.How lucky is this?

"Come on, try it!" Zhang Yi smiled and handed one of the bowls to the third uncle, and said, "I made it boiled just now. It's a new thing. I don't know how it tastes. You can find fault with it!"

It is said to be porridge, but it is actually a paste, but it is different from ordinary paste, both in color and temperature, showing a noble atmosphere.Of course, this is what the third uncle said while looking at the small white porcelain bowl in his hand. Can the porridge contained in such an expensive small bowl be simple?

The food in Xungui's family is different!This is what third uncle thinks now!
Who has seen so much salt added to porridge?There is also a fishy smell, there must be meat added in it, but this fishy smell is very light, so it should not be added much, what is more intense is the unique fragrance of grains and vegetables in the porridge.After taking a mouthful of porridge, a feeling of warmth slowly rose in his stomach. He swore that this bowl of porridge was definitely the most delicious bowl of porridge he had ever had in his life.

Zhang Yi is also holding a small bowl to drink porridge, but his movements are not big. To be precise, he should be tasting porridge, taking a small sip into his mouth and slowly rejecting the green vegetables in it with his teeth, as if it is delicious in the world. sweet.

"My lord, to tell you the truth, this bowl of porridge is probably the most delicious bowl of porridge this old man has ever had in his life!" The third uncle sighed very much, his face was full of intoxication, as if he hadn't woken up from the deliciousness just now Come here in general.

This is complete sycophancy.Zhang Yi also drank a bowl. Although the taste was passable, it was definitely not as delicious as what the third uncle said, so he asked, "Does the third uncle think such a bowl of porridge is worth a penny?"

"What? A penny?" The third uncle's eyes widened immediately. Even in his dreams, he never thought that Zhang Yi would say this.

But looking into the bowl, I recollected the feeling just now, no wonder the green vegetables in the porridge were stuffed between the teeth just now, the feelings are actually grass fodder.
Even so, the third uncle still felt that the bowl of porridge tasted very good, and it was definitely worth a penny, so he said, "Is this porridge made from grass fodder and grain flour as you said? I think it’s not expensive even if it’s two liters! It’s just that” the third uncle was still a little worried, and continued: “It’s just that there is too much grain in the porridge, right?”

This is definitely a word of conscience, although the bowl is small, but one can still fill you up, especially the porridge tastes good, in his opinion, even the porridge shop in Chang'an City is estimated to be at this price.

"As long as you think it's worth a penny, a bowl is fine!" Zhang Yi laughed loudly, pointing to the porridge bowl and said, "In fact, the main ingredients of this porridge are not grain, but wheat flour and pea flour are added to it. The advantage is that the starch content is high, and the most important thing is that it only needs a little stirring to become the current paste. Just now I let the kitchen test, and a large pot of porridge powder only used less than half a catty, but It took seven or eight catties to finely chop the grass tips, even though a little dried fish powder was added and the cost was only ten renminbi.

But such a big pot can be divided into forty or fifty bowls. Do you think I will lose money or make money if I sell a bowl for a penny?So this forage is definitely a good thing, the more the better!When the disaster victims enter the city, we can completely let the young and strong people in Zhuangzi go to the gates of each city to set up porridge sheds to help the affected people. Even if His Majesty knows about the porridge for a penny, I am afraid that we will not blame us. It's an award, right? "

The third uncle's eyes were wide open, he only felt that he had lived for decades like a dog.

Things worth ten pennies can turn into gruel worth dozens of pennies in the blink of an eye. This kind of skill is the real skill, and you won't be able to accept it.

No one knew whether the third uncle was out of his mind or what. Ever since he left the Viscount's mansion, he had let the farmer who had been idle buy fodder everywhere, which hit the farmer who wanted to get some fodder to supplement his family's livelihood.However, due to the prestige of the lord and the third uncle, the farm households still brought a child who just knew how to count to the mansion to ask the housekeeper for copper coins to buy fodder.Although there is only a subsidy of five cents for every stone purchased, it is still slightly better than nothing!
As time passed day by day, the weather became warmer and warmer. As the jumps in the ground became bigger and bigger, the whole Chang'an showed a feeling of panic.

Now all the grain stores are closed. It’s not that the grain merchants have no grain, they are waiting for the court to open the Changping warehouse. As long as the grain in the Changping warehouse is sold out at a fair price, they can make a fortune.As for how much lime or gravel to add to the grain at that time, this is what they are most concerned about right now.

Few people walk around on the street anymore, because walking requires physical energy. In order to save food, less activity is a very effective way to save money. They all hope to get through this coming crisis through light gruel.

Compared with Zhang Yi who eats and sleeps well, Li Er seems to be living like a year now.

The memorials on the desk had already piled up like a mountain, and the memorials urgently submitted by Babaili from dozens of prefectures in Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Qianzhong Road, and Jiannan Road all had only one meaning, that is, the plague of locusts was over. now!
