Chapter 362 Sheep and Scorpion without Soy Sauce

Li Laoshuan said with a smile: "I said I would go to Erlin to help Lao Shi prospect for minerals, but Shuanshao and Dashuan refused to let me go. This time I think I'll have a good time. We'll have a good time in a few days.

Do you have a map?"

Su You was amused: "You are always looking at the map when you are out on the road? I thought Brother Shuanzhao was not very good at reading the map."

Li Laoshuan blew his beard and glared: "Master, are you kidding me! In the early years, you spent most of your time looking for mines and checking for water veins? Now that you have a map and you still don't know how to read it, isn't that a fool? I'm following you

You said that if you look at the map well, then finding the pulse will get twice the result with half the effort."

Su You smiled and said, "That's right. You've been getting old all these years, and I'm afraid you've only been able to enjoy yourself on the map."

Li Laoshuan wanted to slap Su You on the head, but when he raised his hand, he remembered that this official was such a big official now, so he had to take his hand back: "You are still so naughty! Hurry up and meet the other villagers! There are many things to do next.

Woolen cloth!"

Su You then surrendered to the others and said, "Now that everyone is here, my waist will harden!"

The one sent by the Cheng family was Cheng San, the one sent by the Shi family was Shi Da, the one sent by the Su family turned out to be Xiao Xiao, and only the one sent by the Shi family didn't recognize it.

After everyone heard the young master's shouting, Cheng Sancai introduced Su You cheerfully: "You know all the other young masters. This one is the rising star of the Shi family, Shi Xuan, whose courtesy name is Xuanhua."

Shi Hao was still a fifteen-year-old boy, and he was very excited to see Su You: "I have often heard about my great aunt, and today I can see her in person."

Su You said: "Stop talking. Have you received the drawings of the Tiaodeng Bridge? How is the repair going?"

Shi Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, Guzu, I promise it will be more beautiful than the drawings!"

Su You was a little worried: "It's not necessary to be too beautiful. Don't make the stone crawlers under the bridge extinct. It's serious... the smell of that thing, tsk tsk tsk..."

Shi Hao: "...Well, we really can't guarantee this. By the way, my great-uncle asked me to bring you a package of things, saying they are the parts you want."

Su You nodded: "If this is the case, send it to my house later. Your Uncle Dashou is currently working on a workshop in Shangzhou. I will leave many of the hydraulic equipment that Weizhou needs to you."

Shi Zhao patted his chest: "Look, you can't go wrong if you leave the hardware work to me."

Su You then greeted everyone: "Let's go, let's catch the wind and give everyone a taste of the northwest flavor!"

The Zhong family had a large business in Weizhou City, with two floors and an inner courtyard. Su You requisitioned it without hesitation, and this became the location of the Sitong business branch, the Meizhou Club.

Zhang Qi led everyone towards there, while Su You was talking to Mouse behind: "How are you doing, Eighth Prince? Are Fifth and Sixth Brothers willing to let you out? If you ask me, the Su family should boldly leave Meishan. Look,

Brother Zhang San has gone to the sea..."

The mouse said: "Hachi is in good health. I think my father's body is not as strong as his. Wei'er taught everyone a set of gymnastics. Hachi is the only one in the dragon who persists well. It doesn't matter if the time is short.

You’ll be able to see what’s good after just ten years.”

"I just can't stay idle. Now I breed pigs and feed them all day long. By the way, last year Hachiko created a pig breed with wrinkles on its face and named it Lion Head."

Su You said: "It's good to be in good health. There's a big black pig with a lion's head. I've mentioned it several times in my letters... Why do you smell so good? This sachet is very well made!"

As he spoke, he took off a bat sachet from the mouse: "Is it borneol, of course... or is it Kesi? Is this Kesi? Yes, yes, this mouse is your meeting gift to Uncle Yao.

ha."

After saying that, he was about to hang it on himself, but the mouse snatched it away: "This is what my bride gave me when she left! Uncle Yao, how can you miss out on this good thing?"

Su You looked at the mouse up and down for a while, then suddenly kicked out: "Your uncle is still single! Su Youxiao! You ran ahead! Your mother-in-law's beauty is pretty good!"

The mouse chuckled and said: "The thread pulled by the Eight Niangs, the embroidery lady in the Su family's weaving shop, will be worshiped with ten guan of needles and thread every month. Uncle Yao, can you change my name? My name is Su Fu now.

Zicheng."

Su You agreed: "There is nothing wrong with the name. According to the legend in my hometown, bats are not just called 'salt rats'. They are the rats that eat too much salt and become..."

"The spokes of the car! It's the same name as Brother Jiuer and Brother Jiusan! Uncle Yao, why are you so naughty!"

"Don't worry about it...I just said that it shouldn't look so pleasing to the eye. It turns out that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles! It just so happens that the wedding clothes for Wei'er and I have been found this time."

"Really? Then my wife will not be famous in Shu?!"

Close or not, we are from my hometown. Uncle and nephew, you talk to me and talk endless gossip.

Su Tanhua is famous for her gourmet food. In history, when Su Dongpo was in poverty, he bought a lamb spine, boiled it, and ate it slowly. Su You brought it to entertain guests.

Most of the remaining meat is made into hand meat and dipped in salt and pepper.

The best fat parts are sliced ​​thinly and used to cook the lamb and scorpion pot.

There was no soy sauce in the pot, just the most original flavor of lamb bones and plain water, and a lot of red dates, ginger, green onions, sand ginger, and dried mushrooms.

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Cheng San, acting on his trust in the foodie master, simmered the mutton slices in the pot, then wrapped it in the chive flower dipping sauce and chewed it. He immediately praised it: "Good meat! It's so sweet and fragrant. This is delicious."

How do you make mutton? There’s no smell at all!”

Su You smiled and said: "This is not made, it is grown. In the Weizhou area, there are both goats and sheep. In addition to producing wool, sheep also produce this kind of meat."

Cheng San smiled and said: "Ami will be happy now. Is this the breeding industry you are talking about?"

Su You nodded: "Yes, it's too late to plant wheat, so we have to plant grass and raise meat!"

Li Laoshuan said: "Back then, alfalfa from the Erlin Department was brought from this area, and now it has become the staple food of livestock. It is good, but it is difficult to grow in Meishan. If you don't pick the ground, it picks the sun!"

Su You said: "Alfalfa in Erlin is sown in autumn, but Weizhou is doing well now. There is still snow, and there are not as many weeds as there are in the southwest in spring. If you can plant a wave before turning green, it is necessary to eliminate weeds.

Put in more effort.”

Li Laoshuan nodded: "Then we can't wait any longer. Let's look at the map tonight and go to the canal source to investigate tomorrow. This stuff is more wasteful than wheat, but it can be planted well. With the seeds from Jiangyang City of the Erlin Department, one acre of land will be the first

You can raise one cow or four or five sheep every year.”

"We won't need to plant any more until next year. One acre of land can raise two or three cows and seven or eight sheep. How many acres of land do you plan to cultivate this, young master?"

Su You let out a "Ha": "The quantifier mu is commonly used in Shu, but here it has to be replaced by hectares! In Guangweizhou, there are five counties, Pingliang, Panyuan, Chongxin, Huating, and Anhua, and each county has mature wasteland

, some are as large as ten thousand hectares, some are as small as several thousand!"

Li Laoshuan was so dumbfounded that he didn't even notice the meat slices slipping off his chopsticks: "Where's the God of Heaven? It's a sin to leave so much land unplanted..."

Su You sighed and said, "It's not enough to just plant. You have to have the opportunity to harvest. Otherwise, it will be planted for others. After thinking about it, I can only plant some with legs. If the enemy comes, there will be a chance to retreat."

no?"

Everyone at the table couldn't laugh at this joke. Shi Hao, young and energetic, slapped the table: "Fuck them!"

Su You said: "What are you going to do? What happened all the way to Shaanxi that you didn't see? They have an army of 500,000 riders, and we have a total of 15,000. What are we going to do with them?"

"If the enemy is strong and we are weak, don't think so far ahead. Protect your family first. Give me four years, no, at least two years, two years. I can cultivate this place more solidly. I'm afraid the Xixia people won't give it."

Opportunities for me to develop.”

Cheng San also picked his forehead: "The Great Song Dynasty's combat power is a bit so. In short, we absolutely believe in the young master's ability. We will do whatever you say."

Su You said: "A few things, the first is to prepare Shu banknotes. Now I have prepared 100,000 guan of salt in Chang'an. Now is an extraordinary period. Uncle Cheng, I request the issuance of 200,000 guan of Shu banknotes for commodity circulation.

"

Cheng San was shocked: "I thought the barbarians were so easy to coax, so I was ready to play White Wolf with nothing! Since the young master still has this hand, let's just play with the big one! How much the goods in Shu are worth, that's not what we men are doing.

Is it just a matter of words?"

Su You waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, there is another issue here involving trust and familiarity. As I just said, we have too few troops and we need to rely on them."

Cheng San was a little disappointed: "Then we can't cut it into rabbits..."

Su You said: "It won't work, it won't work. As long as the Shu banknote credit currency economic circle is formed, the surrounding barbarians will be more dependent on the Song Dynasty than Xixia. This is the great benefit!"
