C1329 Deep in Skill and Name
Zuo Yu loved to read, and most of the soldiers entered the barracks to read.
When Yang Soong was cooking, he found that all the soldiers could read, and many of them carried books with them.
There were many words written on the ground of the camp. Everyone had a small wooden stick, and they could write and practice on the ground at any time.
Reading was a glorious thing in Great Xia.
Soldiers were the easiest to be called rough warriors. They could read and read, so they were happy and happy. The atmosphere in the barracks would also be much better.
Zuo Yu was very good at leading troops.
Only a general like him could make 70,000 soldiers learn how to read.
Yang Soong also saw a stack of straw paper in the tent with different words.
It should be homework.
When he thought about how the generals had to do homework for their commander while they were training, it was quite a funny scene.
It was too easy to guess what was going on.
The difference between a general and a tutor was clear at a glance.
Zuo Yu understood.
Yang Soong said, "It's easy to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes. As long as you know the trick, it's easy to produce them.
Actually, I have a condition. "
"Go ahead." Not to mention one, even ten would do.
Yang Soong said seriously, "After the potatoes and sweet potatoes are widely planted, the yield will be very high. The people will not starve anymore.
This is a good thing, but there are also worries.
I ask the general to be vigilant. Do not waste food. Even if you fill your stomach, do not waste it. "
In any era, in any place you know, wasting food, you will be punished by the heavens.
Zuo Yu was even more clear on the human heart:" I understand "
Yang Soong said again, "Although sweet potatoes and potatoes are easy to grow, you must also pay attention to keeping the land alive. Planting every piece of land for three years, you must stop for a year and plant some other things, so that the land can recover its vitality."
"Okay," Zuo Yu said.
Yang Soong had no other conditions. He borrowed a horse and ran back to the city. There were still 20 pots of pork stewed with noodles waiting for him.
Within a day, he cooked pork stew noodles in two places. Everyone was very satisfied with the food.
Yang Soong did not want to eat the stewed pork noodles for at least half a year. It was too much.
The noodles were very popular. For a moment, all kinds of stewed noodles were placed on the menu of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant and Hundred Phoenix Pavilion.
Everyone had a dish of noodles on the table.
In White Water City, you have never eaten noodles before, so you are too embarrassed to talk to others.
Everyone was eating noodles and talking about noodles.
Then, various snacks began to appear in the streets and alleys - Roasted sweet potatoes.
"Selling sweet potatoes, a pot of honey, sweet!"
"Potato fan pork buns, delicious!"
"Fried potato strips. They're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!"
......
All sorts of potato and sweet potato products quickly swept across the streets.
Large amounts of potatoes and sweet potatoes began to grow in the vicinity of White Water City.
Zuo Yu and the prefectural magistrate discussed and wrote a letter together, secretly reporting to the Emperor and explaining the sweet potatoes and potatoes clearly.
General Zuo even sent his confidant to bring the potatoes and sweet potatoes into the capital.
This was the first time Yang Soong's name appeared on the table of the Emperor of Great Xia.
Three months passed in a flash, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in Blackwater City were harvested once again.
The Hundred Phoenix Pavilion's business was still booming, but it was no longer as simple as a restaurant in the city.
It was more like a monument.
Even after the trading event ended, there was still an endless stream of trade caravans coming and going from White Water City.
Potato and sweet potatoes began to sell to the various states and provinces.
After attending Li Erdan's wedding, Yang Soong officially left White Water City. Carrying a small bag on his back, he went on his way alone.
"Sir Host, you don't actually need to carry a bag."
Yang Soong said, "No, I have to carry it."
This kind of thing. It felt really good to ride on a black horse and rely on Jian Tianya from now on.
The background music was Saber and Sword Like Dream.
Pretending to make people happy.
Yang Soong wanted to go to the capital, but he did not plan to go directly to the capital. He walked and stopped on the way. When he saw the Tea House, he sat down to have a cup of tea and something to eat.
Sometimes, he would be pleasantly surprised.
For example, there was a kind of willow leaf steamed dumpling in Liang Zhou City. There were wild vegetables, wood-eared pork, wild vegetables, and crisp wood-eared pork. The pork was chopped into pieces and steamed with soup. It was very delicious.
Yang Soong sat there and finished two steamers in one go. He gave the boss money as a reward.
"Can I work here for two days?"
The boss's surname was Yu, and he was called Yu Laosan.
"Why? I think Young Master doesn't lack money."
This was just a small stall, and he had enough manpower. He didn't need to hire anyone, nor could he afford it.
"I think it's quite interesting."
"This small business of mine, gongzi, you should still..."2
"I don't need money, I work for nothing."
"Alright!"
Why couldn't a free worker ask for money? Even if it was just a small business, the boss wanted to take the opportunity to rest, even if it was only for two days.
That afternoon, Yang Soong went to work at a roadside stall.
He tied up his sleeves and put on a towel. He looked like he was doing a good job.
At first, the boss was worried that Yang Soong would accidentally knock something down. He was completely relieved.
Yang Soong was in charge of asking customers, sending food to the table, and cleaning the table. He also had to be in charge of burning the fire from time to time.
After half a day, he was not tired, but rather hungry.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no customers, the boss invited Yang Soong to eat.
The waiter obviously could not eat meat dumplings. The boss also gave Yang Soong two steamed buns and a bowl of noodle soup.
The steamed buns were not considered steamed buns. They were a little similar to rolls of flowers. It was just that the base juice of the dumpling stuffing and the noodles had been steamed. They tasted a little salty and a little greasy. To a living person, the steamed buns had more flavor than the white buns.
What was interesting was that the bowl of dough soup was filled with soft little dough pieces. It was as big as the belly of a finger, and it tasted soft and soft. The boss poured a spoonful of stewed meat soup and ordered some vinegar. He sprinkled some chopped onions on it and it tasted delicious.
It was just nice to eat these after the work was done.
Yang Soong had eaten noodles soup before, but this was his first time eating dough.
The boss didn't sell much in this stall. Besides the steamed dumplings, there were noodles. There were only two types of noodles, the plain noodles and the braised pork noodles.
There was nothing to say about the plain noodles. It was just plain water boiled white noodles with plenty of vegetables and a fried egg.
Don't think that it was not delicious. This was Great Xia.
Pure natural and harmless flour, hand-rolled noodles, and vegetables that had never been fertilized. It was impossible that it was not delicious.
The braised meat noodles could not be called braised meat noodles. They were more like pig noodles.
A bare pig bone stewed soup, and the remaining ones were all pigs that went into the water. The pork did not exist.
The noodles sold in the small stall were only a few copper coins in total, and there were also labor and food ingredients to deal with tax. How could they really put meat into the stall? It would be good enough if there were pig intestines and pig heart liver.
However, if the pig miscellaneous ingredients were processed, it might not necessarily not be a bad taste.
Yang Soong liked this family's pig miscellaneous items very much. His sensitive nose told him that there were at least two types of spices that he never knew about.
So, he stayed and found it.
Also, the dumpling stuffing of this boss was very interesting. Apart from the pork, wood, ears, and wild vegetable stuffed in the dumpling, there were other things that didn't have a fixed combination. He used whatever ingredients were cheap, and the price didn't change.
This was business.
After Yang Soong stayed, as he wished, he saw the wild vegetable, fish, shrimp and bird egg filling, as well as the pure wild vegetable filling, as well as the dried radish, which had stewed meat, soup, and dumplings.
There were all kinds of things that only you could not think of. There was no boss that could not do it.
