Ancient Fortune Records

"Excuse me, is this Yanhui County?" a Hu businessman asked the shopkeeper of the guest house in a crappy Yanhui local dialect.

The shopkeeper laughed: "Is it almost unrecognizable? Our county has changed a lot in the past two months. We people don't know that Yanhui County can become like this."

The road has become much smoother. It looks like it has been rolled with stones, and it is paved with bluestones. They are all broken pieces of bluestones. The price is low, and it is not easy to splash muddy water on rainy days.In the original Yanhui County, the smell was unbearable. Even near the county government, you could smell the stench of livestock feces, which made people sick.

When Shen Li was preparing for the military training, he began to ask the men who participated in the military training to clean up the unclean things. They used corn as wages, and many people were willing to do it.Women also want to work. Everyone thought that Shen Li was the kind of boy who disapproved of women showing their faces, but Shen Li was actually supportive.So every day, there are women wearing masks issued by the county magistrate Shen, cleaning from the streets to the alleys every morning, and then go to the county government to collect today's two catties of wheat or cornmeal after cleaning.Two catties of wheat does not sound like much, but it is enough to feed a family of three for two days.It's just cleaning. It's not a technical job, and you don't have to work all day long. The wages are very good.

"Why are so many low-rise huts newly built?" the man asked suspiciously.

"Oh, that's what the county magistrate asked us to build. This is a toilet. You can see a convenient pit inside. The pit is sloped, and the waste will slide down directly and be piled in the dark room behind. Wait for every On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, special people will come to pick up the manure and transport it to the fertilizer factory."

"Oh, fertilizer, I know, but is there a special person responsible for this? I feel that my own plant ash and livestock manure are enough!"

The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously: "The county magistrate of our county is a child prodigy recognized by the emperor himself. He is the Shen Li who made soap and scented soap! Didn't you guys want to get into looms for a while? The new looms are the same He created such a person, which is a sign in itself. All the old people in the village know how good the fertilizer in our county is. When the soil is covered with this, it really feels that the ground is quite fat. If you don’t believe me, go Look, there are at least 200 men working in the fertilizer factory now. It is physical work, but the wages are reasonable. Seventy or eighty yuan a day, and there is a bonus for a good job. The job of temperature control needs to be done by a special person. It can have a hundred coins. If the results are not good, the county magistrate is willing to spend so much money on this?"

"You still have to rely on people to make fertilizer? Isn't it just pouring manure on it?"

The shopkeeper said: "Hehe, how can it be the same? The county magistrate said that the news has been released. When the grain production increases this year, a large number of orders will come. By then, the fertilizer will cost more than five cents a catty. If you want to buy Give it a try, it’s better to buy it now, so as not to raise the price!”

Hu Shang dubiously went to the newly opened store next to the county government to buy about ten catties, saying that he would try it at home, and if it was not good, he would not buy it in the future.Ten catties is only a few tens of pennies, and the loss can't be much.The pastures around his house are not growing well this year. I wonder if it will be better if some fertilizer is sprinkled, so that the brothers in the family don’t have to move around to find places with more lush grass to graze.

Shen Li is actually very distressed, because it is relatively slow to get money from fertilizers. After all, this thing really needs long-term observation and publicity. Although he is famous, it is related to farming. Just kidding about this.

Shen Li looked at his father with a distressed expression: "Father, this year our family has to eat chaff and swallow vegetables. After all, your son and I have lost so much money, and I can't get back this year. You have to find a way to raise him." me!"

Shen Laiqiu calmly opened the purse Shen Li was wearing, only to see that it was full of silver bills, one bill of 100 taels, and there were at least twenty bills in it.Even if their family does not have production in the future, it is impossible for their family to be poor, so Shen Laiqiu is too lazy to talk to this little fox.Maybe this little fox has already figured out how to get rich, and deliberately teased his father here.

Seeing his father ignoring him, Shen Li quickly complained to Shen Yan: "Xiaoyan, brother, I'm going bankrupt! What do you think?"

Shen Yan wondered: "Brother, it's useless for you to tell me. At most, I will eat one less sugar cake a day, and I can't help you otherwise."

Shen Li watched his steamed stuffed face wrinkle, and was so happy in his heart, he grabbed his younger brother's dog's head, "Okay, eat as much as you want, your brother and I must lead everyone to get rich this year! Fertilizer is a must." Do it, farming needs it. But other things have to be done, otherwise you won’t make money, and the irrigation problem is not easy to solve!”

Shen Yan didn't know what new plans his brother had, as long as he didn't take his sugar cakes, he could talk about anything.

"Brother, I was sleeping last night, and there were mosquitos biting me. We have to buy a mosquito net." Shen Yan opened his sleeves, and Shen Li saw a red patch on his younger brother Bai Nen's arm. Scratch, it looks a lot more serious.

Shen Li asked Li Fu to take the toilet water that they steamed from the warehouse, and put it on Shen Yan.Shen Yan immediately felt much more comfortable, his skin felt cool.It's only April, and there are already mosquitoes, and the temperature has risen a bit fast this year.I have already brought the gauze cloth for the mosquito net, and I just need to ask someone to help make the mosquito net.

Mosquitoes are easy to transmit diseases.Shen Li was glad that he had asked someone to clean up the excrement, the unknown corpses and rot in the river.Otherwise, if poisonous mosquitoes and plagues are produced, wouldn't that be a big deal?

Shen Li started a small soap making workshop. When the shepherds heard about it, they were very happy to sell the discarded sheep oil. Shen Li gladly accepted it. All the sheep here are tall and fat. , There is also a lot of oil on the body.The soap made from this oil is almost the same as that made from lard. Few people raise pigs here, but there are quite a few sheep.There are sheepherders from Yanhui County, as well as those Hu people. These people have a lot of mutton oil. I heard that Shen Li set the price of mutton oil very reasonably, so I chose to sell it here, so I can buy some cloth. Go back with salt.

Shen Li knew that they raised a kind of sheep with very long hair, which seemed to be suitable for making wool and coats.Shen Li couldn't help being happy at the thought of having wool to wear this winter.Turtleneck sweaters are really needed, especially in the north, where the wind can blow people away and blow them on people's faces, not like being cut by a knife, but like being cut by a knife!Shen Li felt lingering fear when he remembered that there was still such a strong wind here in February.

Now in April, it is the busy time of farming, and the weather is getting warmer, so there is no need for wool for the time being, but I will say hello in advance and discuss with a few Hu merchants. Shen Li, a catty of wool only costs two cents, Shen Li felt that he was taking advantage of others.

Hu merchants have always been stingy in doing business, but wool is so much that there is no place to give it away. Since the county magistrate wants it, it’s okay to give it. After all, it’s good to have a good relationship, and you can make money. Pay dividends.At that moment, Shen Li gave half of the deposit, and only waited for the wool to be harvested in summer, to store it, and to find work for the people in Yanhui County in winter.

For the tofu business, Shen Li also recruited people again.Yanhui County is still unable to attract many businessmen. It can only rely on cooking fresh food, improving the county environment, and building roads to attract businessmen to regard this place as a transit point.

Peppers have been planted in large quantities since Shen Li discovered them. Now that the sun is shining and the fertilizer is sufficient, it is most suitable to grow some peppers.Shen Li will "loan" the seeds with zero interest to all farmers who are willing to grow peppers. They only need to return [-]% of the peppers to Shen Li after harvesting. Shen Li will not suffer losses, and farmers are willing to do business without capital.If there are many sheep nearby, then do more mutton business.Instant-boiled mutton, kebabs, lamb kidneys, and mutton hot pot are all inseparable from chili.The price of mutton here is cheap, and the cost is much lower. As long as you have a little skill, you can make mutton skewers and sell them.

The businessmen who came and went were surprised to find that Yanhui County not only became clean, but even the food they ate was much better!

"Guest officer, our store has Maoxuewang, mutton steamed buns, mutton pot, casserole rice noodles, what would you like to eat?"

"Guest officer, why don't you come to our store! The county magistrate in this store personally developed bean paste and chili sauce. The fried noodles made with this are delicious! It is served with lamb chops, refreshing stir-fried bean sprouts, or gravy Egg, wow, one bowl is not enough!"

"Stinky tofu! Two pennies and four yuan of stinky tofu! Guest, come and try a bowl, it smells stinky and tastes good!"

"Guest officer, come to our store! Our store tastes better..."

Hu Shang swallowed, he didn't know how to choose, there were too many things to eat here, he wanted to try it, but it was probably too late, because he had to deliver goods to the south, so he could only stay here for one day , I have to leave tomorrow morning.

He chose a shop that made rice noodles. He had never heard of rice noodles, so he was really curious.It sounds like something made of rice, so it must be delicious.

"Do you want mild spicy, medium spicy, or heavy spicy?"

Hu Shang thought for a while and ordered medium spicy.After a while, a bowl of rice noodles in red soup with rich ingredients was delivered to him. There was a poached egg on it. After taking a bite, the egg liquid overflowed. Could this be undercooked?It is very tender when you eat it, and you are not used to it at the first bite, but you will feel that the taste is excellent afterward!Vegetables and some sliced ​​meat are neatly arranged on the surface, the color is very beautiful, and bean sprouts and bean skins are added, which is very generous.Hu Shang was not in a hurry to eat the rice noodles. He took a bite of the sliced ​​meat. He smacked his lips regretfully. It was delicious, but it was too thin.I took a sip of the noodle soup, wow, the spicy taste is strong enough!In addition to some sweat on Hu Shang's body, he ate up a large bowl of rice noodles with soup and water without any snoring!

"Check out! Your rice noodles are really good!"

"Guest officer, as long as you are satisfied! I have ready-made rice noodles at home. Would you like to buy some to cook on the way? Buy a pack of sauce, and the taste of cooked rice noodles is not bad!"

Hu Shang was moved, this rice noodle tastes good, you can buy a lot for five renminbi, buy something to eat on the road, and use this thing to deal with it when you don’t meet the guest house, it’s also comfortable!

"Thanks for your patronage, the rice noodles and the sauce package are 33 coins in total, please take the sauce package well, don't miss it!"

Hu Shang felt that there was still something to be desired, so he bought a Roujiamo to eat. He didn't understand why it was called Roujiamo. Isn't it Mojiamo?There are a lot of crispy meat sandwiched in the steamed bun, pepper and cumin are sprinkled on the top. The skin of the steamed bun is fragrant and crispy, and the crispy meat inside is a little tender... Take a bite, the gravy overflows soft, and The fragrant and crispy taste is perfectly blended together, plus the soul cumin... Hu Shang feels that he still wants to stay here for two more days.

Unfortunately, conditions do not allow.After eating early in the morning, he set off with his caravan. He reluctantly glanced at the food sold at the roadside stalls. He felt that he could not be the only one greedy for the food here, so he went to a place to show off The fresh food that has been eaten makes people who have never eaten these things yearn for it.

Shen Li happily watched the inn's business getting better and better in the past few months, so it's good to come if you want to come, if not, who will sell the grain and vegetables they grew before Yanhui County?Because of the lack of purchasing power in Yanhui County itself, a lot of old grains were left over. Shen Li simply gave a few recipes for food, and then sold all the good old grains, making delicacies for passing merchants to eat. Life is much better!

After the military training, there are obviously fewer lazy people.Shen Li made those who performed well in the military training to be yamen servants, but they were non-staff personnel who needed to go to the countryside regularly to check the farming results, and if someone was found to be lazy, he would report criticism.At this time, everyone knows that hard work gets rich, and lazy people, especially men, will be laughed at.No one doesn't want this face, unless it is hopeless, so they are all willing to work hard.

The inn lacked people to work, and the merchants didn't expect their business to be booming because of a few food recipes. These recipes Shen Li said, as long as you give him [-]% profit, and give him two years in a row, in the future this recipe will be considered They're gone!

Such a precious recipe was given as soon as they were offered, and the merchants were moved in their hearts, but they didn't know what to do for Shen Li, so they just added a few small characters on their signboards - the recipe of the county magistrate.This has almost become a symbol of a good business in a guest house, so it is also written that it does not rely on the prescription given by Shen Li to do food business.

Shen Li:......

Sending him money is also really unique.

Shen Li didn't intend to benefit a few people by relying on these things.Immediately the weather got hotter and there were more mosquitoes. The best selling thing was mosquito coils.At this time, the house is smoked with wormwood. It is useful, but it is a bit troublesome, and the duration of the effect is short, and it always makes people look gray.

It is better to make mosquito-repellent incense, make it according to a fixed formula, and give it to private people to make, and then collect it collectively and sell it elsewhere.Especially the mosquitoes in the south, whose heads are bigger than spiders, and made of mosquito coils, presumably the bites can be less painful.Mosquito coils also have a bad smell, but the smoke is smaller than burning wormwood.Shen Li found out that wormwood is really good, cheap and available everywhere.Shen Li crushed the wormwood and kneaded it to get moxa, mixed it with clay, rolled it into a circle, roasted it until it turned dark brown, and it was almost finished.This is a kind of earthen mosquito-repellent incense. It doesn't look very good-looking, and it's round and irregular, but it's good to use!

This thing costs at most two pennies and four trays, and everyone can afford it, and they can sell it after making it. In the past two years, farmers can make some fragments of mosquito coils and sell them in private.

In this era, it is not hard work that can make a fortune.Rely on the sky to eat, rely on officials to eat.One of the two will not work, and the people will suffer.Officials don't think about how to increase sources of income for the people. How can the uneducated people know where their road to wealth is?What Shen Li has to do is to guide these people with few fields and no experience to live a better life, and make the closed Yanhui County more fluent, so as to bring new livelihoods to this poor and silent county. .

When everyone has money, Shen Li will not only solve the irrigation problem, but also do a good job in improving the cultural level of the people and enriching the spiritual world of the people.He is now a civil servant, but he can't eat free rice.The emperor treated him well, so he had to make some decent achievements in return.

When Shen Yan saw the ugly mosquito coils, he felt a little bit resistant to lighting them in the room. Shen Li was not used to him, he detested mosquitoes, and he still didn't light mosquito coils. He probably had to let him out to stand for a while before he knew the benefits of mosquito coils. Woolen cloth!After Shen Yan used it, he realized that the mosquito coils were really easy to use, so he gave two plates to his neighbors.There is a boy in the neighbor's house who is about the same age as him, and he plays very well with him. Today, he secretly gave him candy cakes to eat, and he wants to reciprocate!

Shen Li looked at Shen Yanren's appearance as a big kid, and decided to assign more homework to him in the future, so as not to be so energetic and lawless at home that it would cause his mother a headache.
