Chapter 77: Southern Sugar Cake


For Luo Yong, there has been no news about Qiao Junlin since he went to the distant city of Chang'an.

But for Qiao Junlin, Luo Yong was never far from him.

In Chang'an City, where he lived, there were traces of that country boy everywhere.

In the early spring of Chang'an City, every household was burning a fire bed.

When winter first came last year, Qiao Junlin learned that some of Luo Yong's disciples had come to Chang'an City, and he went to Ma's Trading Company to greet them and even helped them.

Got some jobs.

At this time, Qiao Junlin was no longer as sensitive as he was at the beginning about his origin in a small place.

He began to face up to his origin and the fact that he would be despised by many people in Chang'an City because of his origin.

He acknowledged this fact and decided one day to break it.

He will become an amazing person, and by that time, his name and his origin will all become a kind of glory.

This is of course not an easy task.

He has been working hard on this matter with the innocence and stubbornness of a young man.

Judging from the current results, he has indeed done a pretty good job.

In terms of qualifications, Qiao Junlin is good at martial arts but not at literature, but he can make up for his deficiencies through hard work, and his grades in cultural courses are also pretty good.

Especially the mature and prudent masters in the college often praise him highly.

Whenever he comes to martial arts classes, it is often his time to steal the show.

Because of his diligent practice and extraordinary qualifications, he has now left the classmates around him further and further away.

Qiao Junlin often practices riding and archery on the Yanerfei that Luo Yong gave him.

He can pull a bow and shoot an arrow while riding a bicycle with a mop of hands, and almost always hits the mark.

The students of the four majors all said that this was very handsome.

Qiao Junlin had performed it for them countless times.

If Mr.

Luo, who was born under the national flag and grew up in New China, was lucky enough to see this scene, no matter what, in the minds of his classmates, He is indeed handsome.

Yanerfei is now relatively common in Chang'an City.

The price is much cheaper than before, and many families with relatively average economic conditions can afford it.

This thing is now gradually changing its role from a novelty to a A transportation tool for daily use.

The road conditions in Chang'an City are relatively good, and the road surface is relatively smooth, which is very suitable for Yanerfei's driving.

Due to the popularity of bicycles, many bicycle repair stalls have appeared in the market, among which the main business is repairing bicycle chains.

Some people are so stupid that they cannot replace the broken bicycle chain themselves, so they have to go to a nearby shop to find someone.

Help with repairs.

In every village in Chang'an City, usually near the main gates, there will be one or two stalls where people repair cars.

Repairing a car chain costs just a penny.

In fact, the bamboo chain shipped to them from Lishi County costs about a penny per section on average.

The reason why the car repair stalls charge so low is mainly because each section of the bamboo chain is made of several coins.

Parts composition.

Generally, when there is a problem with a bamboo chain, only one or two parts are broken.

It costs one penny to replace one part, two cents to replace two parts, and two cents to replace a whole section.

Sorry, four cents.

This is still a combination.

Price comes.

Therefore, generally those who are more frugal still have to buy some chains and carry them with them.

If there is a problem, they can fix it themselves.

The general price of a bamboo chain like this in Chang'an City is around 80 cents.

Earlier, someone shipped a truckload of goods and sold them in bulk.

A chain only cost 75 cents, and many people were rushing to get it.

Everyone knows the chain seller, isn't he the servant around Du Qilang?

I heard that Du Qilang always went to Lishi County, and every time he came back, he would bring back a lot of good things.

He divided those things with a few familiar friends, and the extra ones were sold in the market at a low price.

Because of this, people all over the world like Du Qilang.

A chain like that sells for seventy-five cents a piece, and three or five families can pool it together, buy a chain, and share it.

Each of them can take it home and use it for a long time.

It should be no problem in a year or two.

After all, Yanerfei The bamboo chain is not always bad.

"Ka!"

A certain boy was thinking about something in his mind.

When he put a force on his foot, the chain of the bicycle broke.

He thought to himself that it was bad luck and he quickly got out of the car to check.

"Hey, the chain is broken."

A man came out of the shop next to him.

He seemed to be the shop owner.

There was no business at the moment, so he was idle.

"No."

The boy took off a small cloth bag from the handlebar, where there was a spare chain.

This car was originally bought by his husband for fun.

Now that the novelty has worn off, he sympathized with the servants and put it in the courtyard for them to use for transportation.

Not to mention it is really more convenient.

In the past, when they needed to run errands for something, they could only run on two legs.

Now that Yaner Fei has arrived, the work of running errands has become much easier.

The shop owner saw that the boy was messing around with a piece of bamboo chain for a long time without even removing a single part, so he asked him, "Do you know how to do it?"

"Not really."

The boy told the truth.

Their husband is over the novelty of Yan'erfei, but there are a large group of servants at home who are more qualified than him.

They are not over the novelty yet.

There are very few people riding around in a group.

When it was his turn, although he had ridden a few times before, this was the first time he had a broken chain.

"I'll do it for you, you can see what I'm doing."

Without saying a word, the shop owner took the chain in his hand, checked the damage of the strip on the car, and dismantled one after a few clicks.

The corresponding parts come down.

He quickly repaired the chain, put it on the gear, turned the pedal, and everything was done.

The boy thanked him repeatedly, but the shop owner just waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Go ahead, go ahead."

It was just a matter of convenience.

In today's Chang'an City, there are not a few people who repair bicycle chains for free.

In later generations, some older uncles and aunts played with their mobile phones and couldn't get enough of it. , quickly find a young man to ask, what's going on with my mobile phone?

When the young man saw it, he easily fixed it for them.

In addition to Yanerfei, peony cushions are also relatively common in Chang'an City today.

In some high-end recipes, the shopkeeper will also put a few peony cushions on the bed in the shop.

In the early days, when most people couldn't afford this kind of cushions, shop owners doing this could easily attract some business for them.

However, the enthusiasm is almost over now, and citizens have basically returned to rational consumption.

Recently, many kinds of peony cushions have appeared in Chang'an City, but the most authentic ones are recognized by everyone as the peony cushions produced in Lishi County.

You can tell them apart if you look carefully.

They are just like the real ones.

The difference between the money and the price is almost the same.

Some people accidentally bought fake mats and regretted it endlessly.

Many wealthy families have bought large peony carpets produced in Lishi County.

Not to mention, ordinary craftsmen cannot imitate the Lishi County mats.

If they are made small, they may not look very realistic.

On that large piece of carpet, you can easily see the difference.

In addition, many husbands from wealthy families have bought cashmere sweaters and pants from Lishi County to wear.

People who have worn them say that those clothes are particularly warm.

Nowadays, wearing turtlenecks and robes has become a fashion in Chang'an City.

This kind of fashion is beyond the reach of most people.

Throughout the winter, only a few people came from Lishi County, Chang'an There are so many people, there is simply not enough space to divide it.

Without some status, you will definitely not be able to get it.

There are quite a lot of good things in Lishi County.

In Chang'an City, there are probably many noble people who have ideas about Lishi County, but Luo Sanlang's name is also relatively loud, and he is also nicknamed "Coffin Board" .

I heard that around New Year's Day, a thief came to their village to abduct a young lady.

As a result, they were chased all the way from Shizhou to Fenzhou.

Can't keep it.

Those guys who want to get rid of Shi County have to think carefully at this time.

If they really touch the people under Luo Sanlang, will the coffin board be chased all the way to Chang'an City by them?

.

However, I heard from people who have been to Lishi County that Lishi County is still very good.

Luo Sanlang’s delicious jujube cakes only cost a penny each.

Nowadays, there are still a few people in Chang’an who haven’t heard of it.

Said this.

I heard that there is a new Dongpo Pork recently, which is very delicious.

The reason why it is called Dongpo Pork is said to be because Luo Sanlang cooked the meat in Xipo Village.

The aroma of the meat can spread all the way across the Luliang Mountains to the In the villages on the east side of Shandong, I don’t know whether it is true or false.

Of course it's fake.

I heard that the current saint also valued Narasaburo very much and rewarded him with five hectares of fertile land.

In the eyes of many Chang'an nobles, the reward of these five hectares of fertile land is almost as good as no reward.

The reason for this is probably because the coffin boards were directly made into swallows and sold for money instead of being directly presented to His Majesty the Emperor. for the sake of.

In Xipo Village, Lishi County, Luo Yong was still not sure what kind of changes his appearance as a time traveler had brought to Chang'an City in the seventh century.

That afternoon, he went to the Xu family guesthouse and came back with a can of waste oil.

Business at the Xu Family Guesthouse has been good recently, and Aunt Luo and her husband have also done a lot of business.

In addition to ordering jujube cakes and dongpo meat, some customers also expressed their desire to eat stinky tofu.

So Luo Yong asked the Xu brothers to help him bring another iron cauldron back from the city.

After spending several thousand dollars, the business was still going well.

In the Xu family guest house, stinky tofu is not sold as a snack, but as a dish. , a plate costs ten cents, and many people are willing to eat it.

More than ten plates are sold every day.

When Aunt Luo's stinky tofu is fried, even if she has planned to use lard, a lot of waste oil will still be produced every day.

The waste lard accumulates, and Luo Yong sometimes mixes it with chicken food.

But it won’t be used too much.

Luo Yong thought about it for the past two days and asked the Dinghu people who came to the city every day to help him buy some caustic soda from Xue Ji Bufang.

Xue Weng and the others used caustic soda when they dyed cloth.

They always had it at home.

Luo Yong shared some with him, but Xue Weng didn't earn him any money.

Luo Yong once heard from Xue Weng and others that those who do fur processing also need to use caustic soda.

Some time ago, Luo Yong saw a novel on a smartphone in his space.

It said that soap could be made by boiling lard and caustic soda with some water.

There happened to be a lot of waste lard at the moment, Luo Yong.

I plan to give it a try.

As a result, I stayed up all night.

A can of waste lard, plus a large bowl of caustic soda solution, cook it over low heat on a kang over water, add some water to the lard from time to time, cook it from seven or eight o'clock in the evening until three or four in the morning, and then go through a salting out , and finally got a piece of soap a little bigger than his palm.

Looking at the khaki soap ball in his hand, the color and texture reminded Luo Yong of the days when he was a child and lived with Grandma Luo.

He remembered that in the earliest days, they used this kind of soap at home.

It was earthy yellow and dark red in color.

At first glance, it looked like a piece of sugar cake steamed with brown sugar and rice milk.

It was shaped into a long and thin piece. , packaged in khaki straw paper.

Every time she bought a piece of soap like this, Grandma Luo would first cut it in half with a knife into two pieces.

After cutting, it would be about the size of the soap that was commonly seen on the market later.

One piece was used and the other piece was used.

Store it in the cabinet for now.

There was no mold at the moment, so Luo Yong squeezed the piece of soap with his hands, dropped it on the table, and barely made it into a rectangle.

Then he gently took it to the shelf and placed it near the head of the kang.

The top of a shelf.

In the next period of time, Luo Yong will continue to observe the maturation process of this soap.

I heard that this kind of alkaline soap usually needs to be left for two or three months before it can fully mature and no longer be so irritating.

Luo Yong is not in a hurry when it comes to making this soap.

Just take it slow.

Anyway, don't think about mass production for a while.

Just make as much soap as there is waste oil.

Take a break when there is no waste oil. rest.

On this day, Luo Yong had nothing to do, so he carved a soap mold at the grocery store.

He didn't think of any tricks, so he made it according to the candy cake mold in his memory.

He had always suspected that those who made the soap that he and Grandma Luo bought earlier were trying to save trouble by simply buying a few candy cake molds from the market and taking them back and using them as soap molds.

Don't even think about making sugar cakes in Hedong Road.

The price of rice is so expensive.

If you buy a little occasionally, you will only use it to make porridge.

There is no way to make sugar cakes.

You can make a few pieces of soap.

Regardless of whether it is soap or candy cake, put it in this mold and press it.

The resulting items will look similar.

Putting them on the shelf will satisfy your eyes.

"Brother, what is this?"

Si Niang and the others soon discovered the extra thing on the shelf.

"Sugar cake."

Luo Yong said casually.

"Liar."

Siniang didn't believe it.

In her impression, sugar cakes obviously didn't look like this.

"The sugar cakes in the north are made of flour, while the sugar cakes in the south are made of rice.

They are different."

Luo Yong taught them a lesson.

"Then why do you put it on the shelf to gather dust?"

Goro didn't believe it either.

"There are some things added in it.

It must be stored for three months before it is delicious."

Luo Sanlang continued to lie to the child.

Hearing what their brother said, the kids at home became a little suspicious.

Their miso fermented bean curd needs to be stored for a long time before it tastes good.

The sugar cakes in the south may be similar.

The author has something to say: Let me show you how similar candy cakes and soap are. gd1806102:
