Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Wang Zuo "very naturally" pointed to the position beside him: "Sleep for a while?"

Ding Tian nodded without reacting: "Well, let's sleep for a while, after eating and walking around, I'm sleepy."

In fact, he just strolled around the house, visited the bedroom of the ancient king's level, and found that there were only a few things in the bedroom, but everything was priceless.

After reading it, he has almost digested it. In addition, Wang Zuo also wandered around the house and lay on the bed again. Wang Zuo didn't want to leave the bed now, because he had diarrhea two days ago, which made him a little weak. up.

The imperial doctor did not dare to give him a lot of supplements, because he was afraid of the hot summer weather... They were all young men, if they supplemented him at this time, it would be easy to overdo it.

What's more, the prince has no female relatives around him!

It's really... a lot of tonic... and there is no place to vent....

So Wang Zuo had a stomachache, so he could only take care of it slowly. Fortunately, the weather is hot recently, and the prince doesn't need to go out. He just needs to sit in command and have so many staff members running outside.

Ding Tian climbed into the bed very consciously... Anyway, Wang Zuo's bed is so big, it is twice as big as the three-person bed in later generations, and ten or eight people can lie on it.

Wang Zuo was in the middle, and Ding Tian occupied one side. He took out a small pillow from the drawer of the bed like a small house, and he felt comfortable lying on it: "It's so cool!"

Ice silk mat, golden bamboo pillow, thin silk quilt... Ding Tian soon fell asleep.

On the other hand, Wang Zuo couldn't fall asleep. He watched Ding Tian's little snoring happily for a long time, and finally fell asleep just because of Ding Tian's little snoring.

As a result, Wang Fugui stepped back in shock when he entered the room!

"What's wrong?" He was followed by two staff members.

"Go back, go back!" Wang Fugui pushed the two of them back: "My lord is resting, wait until he wakes up!"

The two were puzzled: "Then let's go, why are you excited?"

Wang Fugui's expression was full of desire: "I'm not excited, so go away!"

After Wang Zuo woke up, Ding Tian had already gone to the kitchen to toss, and he called Wang Fugui: "Where's the person?"

"In the kitchen." Wang Fugui knew who he was asking.

"Well, let them come in and answer." Even if it was a nap, Wang Zuo knew that someone must have something to report to him.

Sure enough, several came in at once, the first one was the two aides;

After the matter was finished, Ding Tian's dinner was ready.

He came in lightly: "I made something delicious to comfort you who are sick. You have so many good things here."

"If you like something, take it back." Wang Zuo had already changed into light clothes: "If you like it, I'll ask them to bring me some more."

"Forget it, I just looked greedy, hehehe, your cook here is also very good, she can make so many dim sum, and I even got a dim sum recipe, which is for beef tongue crisp..." Ding Tian Sitting with Wang Zuo in the dining room, naturally a cook brought the food.

The cook looked at the food, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she quickly backed away.

Back in the kitchen, I murmured to the cook: "I don't know why the prince likes to eat the food he cooks. It's not as good as our eldest daughter's cooking... The second daughter's pastry is also successful, it's better than his country. Strong craftsmanship!"

"What do you know?" The chef brought a yellow-orange apricot for his mother-in-law and pouted, "My lord is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, so it's normal to eat some porridge and side dishes. , I just don’t know, how did he know the secrets of so many meals? Some things are all handed down from the chef’s family..."

Wang Zuo looked at the food in front of him: "Not even a piece of meat?"

Stir-fried fungus vegetables, fried bitter gourd with eggs.

The staple food is dumplings stuffed with cabbage and shrimp.

Refreshing and not greasy at all.

A soup, minced grass carp, kneaded fish balls, made a cucumber fish ball soup.

After it was served, Ding Tian's craftsmanship was so-so, but Wang Zuo loved it.

"It's pretty good, there are eggs, shrimps, and fish balls." Ding Tian picked up a fish ball for him: "Try it!

I've been busy with this in the afternoon. "

"Fish balls?" Wang Zuo ate one and said, "It's quite delicious."

Ding Tian bared his teeth in joy: "Is it delicious?"

Back then, one of his roommates made fish balls, but the fish balls they made were handmade, not machine-made, so the selling price was naturally high, and the taste was good, with real ingredients.

At that time, the people they slept with did not eat less.

I also went to play at the house of my roommate. Different fish make different fish balls, and the ingredients are also different. If you want to make fish balls, you need to add some auxiliary materials and spices. Taste.

"Now, you are still recovering from your illness. You can't eat anything else. You can only eat this. Eat less cold food. Let's feed your stomach first." Ding Tian made him a dumpling: "Although it's not a festival, But eating dumplings is still pretty good, hehehe...Actually, I saw a lot of prawns, so I just made dumplings with cabbage and shrimp, but it's a pity..."

It would be better if there is no crystal skin.

"What a pity?" Wang Zuo looked at him.

"It's nothing, eat, eat!" Ding Tian thought about doing it again in the future.

After dinner, Ding Tian left. Wang Zuo sent someone to take him back. Ding Tian also had ice at home, and Wang Zuo sent someone to bring it.

But now that ice cubes were brought to him again, Ding Tian used ice cubes to freeze some fruit juice, took a couple of sips, it was refreshing!

The days are dull, the four people in the prison beat the straw one day and grind the snack materials one day.

A hundred pairs of straw slippers have been made, and Ding Tian gave Wang Zuo a pair of straw slippers, and then Wang Fugui ordered [-] pairs of straw slippers from him, and planned to distribute them to the people in the station as a summer benefit.

General Gao also came to order, but he ordered straw slippers for next year: "Ordnance must be ordered one year in advance, because the quantity is large. How much do you pay for this pair of Peking University?"

"This... ten cents a pair..." Ding Tian ordered a price that he thought was reasonable.

Ten Wen coins already includes labor and straw raw materials.

Labor is more expensive, five cents a pair, and the straw is basically free. A sling of money can buy tens of thousands of bundles of straw, and it has to be said to be a large and strong bundle.

A pair of straw slippers, even if you earn a penny, a hundred pairs are worth a tael of silver.

If it's 100 pairs, it's [-] taels of silver.

There are 20 troops stationed in the entire Peking University Camp. This refers to professional soldiers, not including logistics personnel, auxiliary combat personnel, and some family members accompanying the army. Since it is a permanent station, there must be family members who have settled in nearby villages and towns...

They also get some benefits.

Ding Tian thought, this price is already a profit of only two cents, and it is the reserve price.

"Twenty Wen a pair, that's the deal!" Who knew that General Gao doubled the price for him.

There was a big question mark on Ding Tian's head, he didn't understand what the price meant?

"Did you get confused?" General Gao said happily, "You will understand in the future, when you sell such straw slippers, they cost thirty yuan.

"

"Impossible!" Ding Tian directly objected: "This thing is up to twenty coins, and it must be said that it is thickly woven, so keep it safe."

It can be worn for three years, but if it is not well kept, it can be thrown into the stove for firewood in two years. "

Even in modern times, straw slippers only cost 50 yuan, and those with finer weaving are only 100 or [-] yuan on Taobao. The most expensive one is [-] yuan.

And the ones woven by Ding Tian are similar to the slippers of later generations, but when he weaved the straw slippers, there was no effective anti-corrosion method. The straw lasted for three years at most, and it would definitely crumble in the fourth year. Farmers lived frugally. It's not that he doesn't know how to weave straw sandals, but he doesn't have as many tricks as Ding Tian's here.

What's more, the sloppy slippers in the Northland can only be worn in summer, and you have to change into cloth shoes when the weather gets cold, otherwise your feet will freeze off.

Farmhouses are all made by a big man who breaks them in half to spend. A piece of clothing is also new for three years, old for three years, and sewed for three years.

Let alone a pair of shoes.

Few of the farm shoes are bought and worn, and they are all made by the women in the family.

The man in the family took a look at the straw slippers and found that they could also weave them, but Ding Tian's straw slippers were soft and the straw was hammered. The peasants didn't have time to spare all year round. Who would bother with that?

Straw sandals are not resistant to wearing. They all wear cloth shoes. It is hot in summer. Some diligent people will weave two simple straw sandals to wear on their feet, but most of them are bare feet.

"Then you can sell it for 25 Wen." General Gao pointed to the straw slippers and said, "Look, the weaving of your slippers is much finer than that of ordinary straw sandals. Ordinary straw sandals cost 25 Wen a pair. Ten pennies is too cheap, for retail, it’s only [-] pennies.”

General Gao set a price and left.

Before Ding Tian could react, Wang Fugui from Wang Zuo's side had come over and told him that a pair of straw slippers cost [-] Wen.

"Are you stupid?" Ding Tian asked Wang Fugui angrily, "Thirty coins for a pair? You don't negotiate the price but raise the price for me instead?

"

It is estimated that this is the most popular customer for buyers.

"You're so stupid!" Wang Fugui hated iron and steel: "How can the shoes our prince wears cost 25 yuan a pair? Thirty yuan a pair is already a very low price. At this price, shoes are specially made for the prince. The embroiderer cried several times, saying that she was sorry for the lord, and for her craftsmanship..."

"Why?" Ding Tian was even more confused.

"A pair of my lord's footwear is only worth 25 renminbi, which is the most common kind. In Beijing, a pair of lord's most common shoes is also worth [-] taels of silver. To you, it's [-] renminbi?" Wang Fugui asked in particular. Dissatisfied: "When did the prince lose his worth?"

"It's purely made of silver!" Ding Tian turned to see off the guest: "Tell you, I plan to sell these straw slippers for fifty renminbi."

"That's about the same." Wang Fugui got a price that satisfied him.

"And I want to say, these are the same style of straw slippers as King Ning!" Ding Tian put his hips on his hips: "I don't believe it, it can't be sold for fifty cents

?,,

Wang Fugui choked on his feet: "What did you say?"

"At retail, a pair of [-] Wen, the same style of straw slippers as His Royal Highness Ning!" Ding Tian said cheerfully: "There must be a lot of people

Buy. "

Wang Fugui told Ding Tian viciously: "Then you can sell a pair for a tael of silver!"

"Get out!" Ding Tian pushed him out the door: "Go back and tell your prince, I'll rub his reputation."

Wang Fugui left depressed, but Ding Tian started to make trouble.

As long as you know how to weave straw slippers, it is easy to get started. There are some tips given by Ding Tian. There are also some new patterns for straw slippers. This is the golden season of straw slippers. Ding Tian asked Mrs. Jin to weave them. Come, but also call the staff to come and help.

For each pair of straw slippers, Ding Tian paid Aunt Jin five renminbi, and Aunt Jin was also a formidable person, so she paid four renminbi to others.

She doesn't have to work, and she earns the price difference in the middle.

One person can weave several pairs of straw slippers a day, and [-] to [-] people work together. After saving for a few days, Ding Tian first sent the straw slippers to Wang Zuo.

Because they want to play the banner of "Ning Wang's same style" straw slippers, so the first one has to meet the order demand from the post station.

Secondly, in the yamen, Mr. Du also came to order, two hundred pairs.

Then each of their cells was given a pair of straw slippers...

Entering July, the season of raging fire, the weather is hotter by one or two degrees. On this day, Ding Tian was settling accounts in the cell, when he heard Zheng Dang running in bluffing outside: "Ding Si prison, Mr. Zhao and his family are here!" !"
