Ancient Fortune Records

Really?Has tofu spread to Chang'an?Shen Li didn't delay anymore, and hurried to find Shen Laiqiu.As for the prescription for tofu, that's easy to handle. Looking at the eunuch's appearance, you can tell that he is not such a vicious person. As long as it doesn't threaten the lives of his family, he will give it to him if he gives it. with.

Shen Laiqiu has never dealt with eunuchs, but heard of them.It was said that he was still an eunuch of the palace, so he couldn't be negligent. He hurriedly asked Mrs. Yu to clean up a few dishes and eat, pour a few bowls of soy milk, and then invite the fat eunuch into the house.

Eunuch Pang didn't want to eat anything, but smelled the off-white milk-like soup in the bowl, so he couldn't help but took a sip from the tea bowl, "Well, this one is good! It smells sweet."

"This is soy milk, which is also made from beans. I also added honey." Shen Li saw that eunuch Pang was very interested in soy milk, and said a few words.

Eunuch Pang was very happy, and after a short rest, he made his future intentions clear.Then, he took out four silver bills from his purse, "My lord knows that your Shen family is benevolent, but my lord is in a hurry, and I'm afraid I can't follow your family's rules. No, my lord will not make things difficult for you, 400 taels of silver. It's not too much for the prince, you accept it, carefully teach those little eunuchs to cook something delicious, and it's over."

Shen Laiqiu was so frightened that he jumped up: "My lord wants a prescription, but also money! If you can't do it! I'll just give you the prescription! It's ruining our family!"

Eunuch Pang shook his head: "The prince wants to give it, but you can't accept it. Because of this tofu, the prince pleases the emperor, and you have made a contribution. With this money, it will be good or bad."

Shen Laiqiu took it with both hands cowardly, with mixed joy and worry in his heart, this is 400 taels!How much land do I have to buy!Li'er loves to eat mutton, and if all the money was exchanged for mutton, the Shenjia Village probably wouldn't be able to accommodate it... He was thinking wildly, so he handed the money to Mrs Yu.Holding her breath, Yu took it, turned around and went back to her room, feeling that it was not suitable to hide it anywhere, so she had to stuff it in the pocket sewn outside of her little clothes.

Shen Li also asked curiously: "How long have you been walking to get here?"

Eunuch Pang chuckled: "It will take ten days if you go fast, and it will take longer if you go by water."

Shen Li sighed, transportation was really underdeveloped in ancient times, if you want to get rich, build roads first, this is true.The ancient times were so poor, apart from underdeveloped technology, many reasons were linked to transportation.Local specialties are cheap in the local area, and they can be sold at a high price, but they are not easy to preserve, and the roads are not smooth, so they cannot be sold elsewhere.

Eunuch Pang didn't care how a child sighed, he didn't have much time, Shen Laiqiu just talked with him for a while, and explained clearly how to make soy milk, dried tofu, tofu, frozen tofu, even fermented bean curd and stinky tofu .Eunuch Pang ate stinky tofu for the first time, and he refused in his heart. He had eaten stinky food when he was a child, and he was particularly disgusted by the smell.It's just that this is a prescription for the prince, so he has to try it no matter what.

After taking a sip, his tightly locked brows loosened. It didn't suit his appetite, but it didn't make people sick after eating it, and it even smelled very good.He glanced at Shen Laiqiu with a strange expression, thinking that it was not easy for the people here to make the smell so craving to eat.

The prince gave so much money, Shen Li had a good impression of him, so while these people were still learning to make tofu here, he hurriedly gathered the seasonings and made five-spice dried tofu, which was suitable for snacks.It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi never forgot to bring dried tofu on her way out, which shows its charm.The method of dried tofu is also simple. In short, all the derivatives related to tofu were learned by eunuch Pang.

The villagers had never seen such a well-dressed person, so they wandered around the door of Shen Li's house every day. Eunuch Pang was not used to it at first, but later on he didn't care, and chatted with some farmers about the harvest.Eunuch Pang stayed here for three days, and he became more and more fond of Shen Li. This kid is smart and knowledgeable about current affairs.He always tries to chat with himself, find out what to eat and play in Chang'an, and looks very interested.

He joked, "If you're so curious, why not follow me to Chang'an?"

Shen Li was stunned. Are you going to be a servant in the palace?Or be a little eunuch?He was in a bad mood, and shook his head quickly: "I'm grown up, just go to Chang'an to see you, I haven't finished my homework yet!"

Eunuch Pang laughed, and took out a piece of very good quality jade from his purse, it was water green, with some black stripes inside, but the shape was not very good-looking and not very regular.

"If you come here, if you have new food or gadgets, just bring this piece of jade to me."

Shen Li happily accepted it, and didn't tell Shen Laiqiu, because his father probably didn't want to accept things from others.He was not greedy for this piece of jade, but Eunuch Pang had his back to the palace, if he really wanted to sell something in Chang'an in the future, wouldn't he be the right person to look for.

Eunuch Pang stayed here for five days. Seeing that the people under his command had learned almost everything, he was about to go back home.The night before they were about to leave, Shen Li dreamed about the method of growing bean sprouts in his previous life, and quickly wrote it down on a piece of paper, along with the relevant recipes. The next morning, he found that everyone had walked to the entrance of the village. Before going far, he chased after him out of breath, and handed the note to Eunuch Pang who was sitting on the horse.

Eunuch Pang smiled when he saw the content on the paper, and took out more than a dozen pieces of gold leaves from the package and put them in his purse and handed them to Shen Li, "It's a fresh dish, boy, did your father ask you to give it to me?"

Shen Li didn't deny it, so eunuch Pang took it as his acquiescence.There are few fresh vegetables in winter. If there are bean sprouts to eat, the women in the family will be very happy, and the cost is not high. Most importantly, this is the first order!Even if the bean sprouts are not tasty, it is good to see them fresh.To grow bean sprouts well, the first thing is to ensure moisture, the second is to ensure that the growth environment is airtight, and the third is to ensure the temperature.Planting bean sprouts in the kitchen or on the kang is a good choice. Shen Li wrote the steps and precautions very clearly. Eunuch Pang knew that they would not lie to him.

Shen Li happily went home with a dozen gold leaves.Gold, it's been a long time, and it's the first time I saw gold in ancient times!A gold leaf is about the size of half of Shen Li's palm, and this amount of gold weighs almost two taels, which is at least 200 taels when converted into silver.But in this dynasty, gold was rare. Except for the gold-plated hairpins seen in the gold shops in the county town, most of the villagers had never touched them. It was a big deal.

Shen Li is still a child now, so it is naturally impossible to keep these golds by his side and hand them all over to Shen Laiqiu.Shen Laiqiu decided to buy land and build a house!The prince rewarded 400 taels of silver, and eunuch Pang gave two taels of gold. If the money was not spent, Shen Laiqiu would not be at ease. He always felt that it fell from the sky.Immediately, he went to the patriarch's house with a box of silver bills and gold, asked the patriarch to accompany him to find Lizheng, and then went to the county farming department to buy land.

After inquiring, there are not many scattered land in the county, only a whole small manor, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with [-] mu of paddy fields, [-] mu of dry land, five hills, and a large house attached.But this price is very expensive.The rich people here look down on such a small manor, and there are too many mountains, so they don't think it's worthwhile, so they don't buy it; the poor don't even have the opportunity to enter the manor.So there has been no one caring about it, Shen Laiqiu was shocked, how little land is there?It's really only once you get close to the circle of rich people that you realize that your money is nothing.

There is a particularly large lake in the manor, which is the main reason why the manor cannot be sold.What else can the lake do besides raise some fish?So this manor looks big, and it is not suitable for many people to farm.If Shen Li were here, he would definitely shout: "Buy! No one cares about such a good place, what a waste of money!"

Shen Laiqiu went to see the manor. The environment inside is really good. There are only three people in his family, even if there is less land, there is nothing wrong with it. What's more, there are many treasures in the mountains. Maybe his son will look at some things and increase his income?Even if all of them are planted with pueraria, their family will not lose money.If the money is not spent, it is not your own after all.

Thus, a manor was sold at 520 taels.It was the first time for Shen Laiqiu to spend so much money a day, and he couldn't even walk, his legs were trembling.So they hired a car, and the three of them sat in the car in a daze without speaking.

After a while, Li Zheng suddenly said: "Laiqiu! Now you are also a landlord! You are probably going to be a grain farmer!"

He is only 23 years old, he is only [-] years old, and he is said to stand at the age of [-]. He can buy so much money so early and become a grain chief. What is it?But he is not inflated at all, anyone who has a son who is born with knowledge can make a fortune.

Grain Chief is a newly established grassroots semi-official position in the Zhao Dynasty. Calculated according to tax payment, every [-] households who pay [-] shi of grain can set up a grain chief. Among the [-] households, pick the one who pays the most taxes. Shen Laiqiu is absolutely in line with the regulations. .In their Shenjia Village, the tax paid in the past must not exceed five thousand shi, so there has never been a grain chief, and the taxes are mainly collected by the village chief and the patriarch.It's just that now every household has bought mountain land, and most of them have started the tofu business and sold some kudzu root, so the tax must be twice as much as before.Now that the imperial court ordered to reduce the tax and recuperate, the tax paid by the forest land is not too much, so it has to pay one-third of the tax produced by the land.In this way, there are also five thousand stones.

The grain chief also has a salary from the yamen, which is only fifty Wen a month.Salary is not the most important thing. The important thing is that the head of grain is mainly responsible for collecting the grain taxes of the hundred households. He has close contact with the head of the village and the county government.

Shen Laiqiu didn't know there were such advantages, but soon, he knew the disadvantages.

The head of the village said: "Now that you have bought this manor, the appointment of the head of grain will probably come down next month. Although the head of grain is not an official position, if you don't do well, you will be held accountable by the county master. If you do well Grain chief, you must know how to read! At least you must be able to count numbers like one, two, three, four, and you must be able to write the name of the head of every household you manage.”

Shen Laiqiu was stunned, still want to learn this?

"Can I not be a good one?" Learning characters is too hard. Now he has a field and sells tofu. What does he do as a grain manager?He doesn't want to collect taxes, it offends people!

The patriarch knew that being a head of grain would be better than ordinary people, so he slapped Shen Laiqiu's arm hard twice: "Look at you lazy! You don't want to read a few words! If you want to, I'll tell your father, you three Uncle, go! Watch them beat you up?"

Shen Laiqiu: "..." His elders are all face-saving. They know that they can be food chiefs but don't want to be, so they probably will chase him with sticks.

Mrs. Yu learned that her family had bought land again, but she didn't know how much. When she got the land deed, she heard Shen Li say that there were [-] mu of paddy fields, and she was so happy that she almost passed out!The news of their family's purchase of Zhuangzi was not hidden, anyway, sooner or later they would have to know.The village exploded, look!The Shen family got rich!How much money did the prince give to buy the prescription, and there is such a big Zhuangzi!For a while, they were envious of Shen Laiqiu's good luck, and they came to congratulate him one after another.

Even more troublesome people ran to Mrs. Shen Gao and said: "Oh, I told you, old sister, that you can't believe what priests said! Look, your family Baodong owed a lot of debt to the gambling house, and now he is hiding at home and dare not go out. But Laiqiu is so promising, you have to win over your third son well, maybe your little boy Baodong can rely on his third brother to earn a living!"

Shen Gao was so angry that he smashed the dishes at home and scolded his eldest daughter-in-law to vent his anger.Shen Baodong was also so angry that he didn't eat dinner, and was taught a lesson by his father.

"Look at you, you are such an adult, you can't do anything, and you still want to gamble! Your third brother can have such a great fortune now, isn't it because he is capable and pondering on weekdays? You only want to play! Tomorrow, go and you The third brother apologizes! I beg him to give you a few acres of land to plant!"

Seeing that his own father was angry, Shen Baodong didn't say a word.Just think: "Wait, I will go to the gambling shop Brother Liu for help, and sooner or later I will make a name, so that you can all see that I am also a person who can make money. When I see it, you will still treat me like a grandson." Curse or not?"

The author has something to say: Shen Baodong: When I have money...
