open sea

Chapter 111
Shopkeeper Xiaoyan's craftsmanship is really good!
And this girl was not as crazy as when she first met when she got serious and serious. After a while, she made duck meat in sour soup, white-cut salted duck, boiled old duck soup, Xishi tongue, and served two stacks of champion candy.

Not to mention that men and women sit at different seats and eat in different boxes when they are seven years old. These days, there are few men and men sitting together on serious occasions. There is a food table in front of each of them, and the dishes are divided into two boxes. The taste is so delicious that Chen Mu is curious. endlessly.

The Xishi Tongue is clam, and the Nougat Candy is nougat.

This is nothing special, but the soup made Chen Mu feel like drinking soup, and he couldn't help asking: "How is this soup made?"

"I'm afraid that Lord Jun will be waiting anxiously. My family didn't dare to cook any longer. I had time to go to Gubulou. The old soup in the shop is non-stop, including pork and beef, pork bones and beef bones, and old soup made from a few chickens." Yan Qingyao smiled. Said bluntly: "This duck soup is not fresh, it stains the mouth of the military master."

No MSG.

No MSG!
There is no MSG to make soup like this?
Chen Mu's thoughts drifted away again. Pork, beef, pork bones, and beef bones are also boiled with a whole chicken. If he can produce monosodium glutamate, wouldn't that be another big profit?
MSG seems to be related to kelp, so the problem comes.

Kelp is cold-water algae, only found in the coastal waters of Shandong, and there is no kelp in Guangdong.

Write a letter asking Li Tao to bring back some kelp?

If Jurengong has passed the imperial examination this time, he will be a Jinshi, so it is not suitable to do this; if Jurengong has not passed the exam, will he throw himself into the sea in a hurry if he is asked to bring kelp?
Before leaving after dinner, Yan Qingyao seemed to think of something, and asked at the gate of the Qianhu Yamen: "Master Chen Jun buys both male and female livestock, why does the big goose want only the male's?"

"There are no dogs in the guard, please invite some geese to watch the door."

Yan Qingyao scoffed at this, where is the big goose looking for a dog?

But as soon as she left, Chen Mu's words came true. Wearing rags and strangling the goose's neck, Balang went to Qianhu's yamen, handed the goose to the kitchen, and said to Chen Mu, "Qianhu, let's get all the geese out of here." Die!"

Xiao Hachiro was chased and bitten by the goose for two miles, and strangled the big goose to death at the cost of his ragged clothes.

It doesn't work with a knife, so I ran away early!
During these days, Chen Mu watched as the thousand households gradually became big and prosperous. The pigs and sheep were purchased and distributed to special military households to raise them. He specially selected several hundred households to build corrals near the yamen. Pigs, some sheep, some chickens, ducks near the river, and Dan people fishing in the river.

Don't expect to have meat every day, at least for ten days the Banner Army can get some fish and eat some eggs to supplement some nutrition.

The Xiangshan Thousand-Household Institute is probably the only one in Kinki, Guangzhou Prefecture that is fully staffed except for the Qingcheng Thousand-Household Institute.

After the 1 mu of grain fields are planted, the land on the mountain will not be able to be moved for a while, so that the labor of thousands of households is actually surplus. The rest of the army has nothing to do all day long. Some people just raise livestock to divert their energy.

Chen Mu went to see the [-] mu of military farmland on the mountain, and he would not be able to move it for a while. He just transferred a few hundred people to log on the mountain. After clearing the land, Chen Mu planned to use some of the small fields as tea gardens and medicine fields.

Dan people are almost born shipwrights, but their craft is limited to fishing boats, so to be precise, they should be born shipwright apprentices. It is a fantasy for them to build warships now, but they can recognize what kind of wood is suitable for making Boat.

Few of the trees growing in the military field on the mountain can be used to make boats, but quite a few can be used to make furniture.

Fortunately, the Qianhu Institute is planning to start a large-scale construction project. Even waste wood can be used to build houses, so we cut it down first.

Another batch of useful things that Yan Qingyao asked to send was willow charcoal, which was used to replenish the gunpowder gap of Qianhusuo.

Within two months, Qianhusuo’s nitrate reserve was already huge, and the smuggling merchants were rampant. They did not transport willow charcoal, which was low in cost and low profit, but nitrate, brass, iron, and even silk were shipped almost blatantly.

"Since April, 130 and seven cases of traffic violations have been seized at checkpoints, more than 670 catties of nitrate, more than 340 catties of realgar and sulfur, [-] stones of rice grain, [-] pieces of silk and satin, thousands of catties of copper and iron, and the rest of various goods Thousands of catties."

After checking, Chen Mu was a little flustered.

He never expected that so many things would be found when setting up checkpoints in Xiangshan, not to mention smuggling of yellow rice, silk and satin, but in terms of prices in the country alone, more than 800 taels of nitrate, more than 500 taels of yellow rice, more than a thousand taels of rice grain, There are more than a thousand taels of silk and satin, not counting copper, iron and other goods. This is already more than 3000 taels.

Chen Mu couldn't find anyone to discuss this kind of matter, so he thought about it for a few days, and in early June, he simply went to Guangcheng again, first went to see Wang Rulong in the house where Wang Rulong was under house arrest, and then went to Governor Zhang Han The mansion, simply said.

But this time it is not so easy for him to enter the Governor's Mansion.

"Why did you come here! It's not that brothers won't let you in, Chen Qianhu, the governor won't let you in."

The concierge's face was full of righteous words. Chen Mu wanted to step up the steps but was pushed down. The concierge didn't even look at them. They both looked at the distance and moved their mouths quickly: "Don't come up, just listen when you can hear clearly." Just watch it, how many people are watching."

"The governor left a message last month. If you come to Dragon Boat Festival, you can put it in directly; after Dragon Boat Festival, wait an hour; if you come in June, you don't need to report to him."

"Brother, let me tell you the truth, just keep it in your heart, but don't say it elsewhere. People who came to the Governor's Mansion to sue you from April onwards broke the threshold. Someone traveled hundreds of miles to send someone from Fujian. Send officials and cronies to say that you will be removed from your seat in Xiangshan!"

The concierge's voice was very low, but Chen Muli was shocked when he listened below.

Just as he thought, touching someone else's cake is never for nothing.

At the same time, this incident also made him discover some things he had overlooked. For example, he did not come to the governor's office to celebrate the festival with Zhang Han during the Dragon Boat Festival this year.

He Jie is not like the later generations, sending a text message is enough. He set off from Xiangshan and went to Zhang Han's mansion near the middle of the day. He would not see Zhang Han at noon. In the evening, if Zhao Shangguan liked to stay for dinner, he would be stuck at the city gate Curfew time is gone.

Usually, only one person can be seen during the whole festival day.

Chen Mu didn't come to the governor's office during the Dragon Boat Festival, would others think—where did he go?
By extension, who is he?
The crisis of trust and the crisis of public opinion happened at the same time, and Chen Mu felt very bad.

If it is a civil official, even if he is not liked by the superior, there is no reason for people to wear official robes and hang them on the street outside the mansion. Even if he does not want to see him, he still has to wait inside the mansion.

It's impossible to turn around and leave. It will only be more difficult to get in the door after walking now. To be honest, it's just being a second-timer.

Raising his hand to thank the concierge, Chen Mu didn't say much, and asked his followers to go to the drum belly building outside the city to borrow a deputy couch, and Chen Lin's house to borrow a volume of military books, and sat outside the governor's mansion under the sun to read.

People come and go, neither eat nor drink.

It wasn't until evening that a small official in blue clothes came out from the governor's office, and asked with a smile: "Chen Qianhu, the governor asks you, why are you studying here?"

"It's very hot."

Chen Mu's throat was smoky, and he was a little bit sunstroke, but he forced a smile, cupped his hands and said, "It's good to enjoy the cool under the governor's door."

　I got up a little late today, don't be disgusted, gentlemen, good morning!
