Chapter 1262: Deploy Troops and Give Orders for New Things

Li Yi and Li Chengqi discussed the transfer of this and that army, and Li Longji was listening nearby.

Others also thought it was normal, right, you two decide which army to move.

"It's settled, and by the way, write it in the newspaper and collect the rabbit alive." Li Yi made the decision.

Then he went to find Guo Ziyi and asked Guo Ziyi to arrange someone to go back and tell the Yulin Flying Cavalry in Chang'an to send out a group.

Li Longji wrote the transfer order, stamped it, and ordered someone to send it to Taibai Mountain.

The Sixteen Guards were not needed, they were responsible for various places in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chang'an City did not need to be defended, and the people would not make trouble on their own.

The order was passed out, and at noon, it was still twenty miles away from Zheng County, and the team stopped at the post station.

More than two thousand people gathered at the post station, and they came out of their homes and ran to the post station to wait.

Everyone was not empty-handed, and brought dried vegetables, bacon, eggs and other things.

The things they brought were enough for themselves to eat a meal, and they brought them to exchange for food with Li Yi.

"Losing money again!" Li Yi said to Princess Yongmu with a smile.

"Why would they pay? They brought a lot of things." Princess Yongmu calculated and found that what she paid was about the same as what she got.

"You go to a restaurant to eat and bring the same amount of ingredients. Will the restaurant cook for you for free?" Li Yi asked.

"Is it?" Princess Yongmu was not too sure, she was a princess.

With her current status, if she goes to a restaurant to bring her own food and ask someone to cook for her, the other party must agree.

"I mean anyone, not you as... my Li Yi's woman." Li Yi almost said the eldest princess.

"Yes!" Princess Yongmu did not refute Li Yi's words.

"So we share labor, seasoning, and oil. And most of what they sent are dried vegetables and dried meat."

Li Yi knew what everyone meant, and was afraid that his team would not bring enough.

He wanted to eat the food of Li's manor, so he exchanged.

In the eyes of the people, as long as the food is in the hands of Li's manor, it will be guaranteed to become delicious.

People in the sky can't afford it, and the price of Zuixianju is also very touching.

The key is that the food in the two places is not as good as the canteen of Lijiazhuangzi. It is said that the soup cooked in Lijiazhuangzi, Baqiao, is a hundred times better than the soup in other places.

The chef team started to cook. They had already prepared the dishes when they were in the car just now.

Now set up the stove and cook directly.

There is also a soup that was cooked early in the morning. Now is the right time.

The people gathered around and seemed to want to learn.

Li Yi randomly checked the things brought by the people. He picked up an egg and looked at it, facing the sun, and nodded.

"Are there chicks?" Princess Yongmu knew how to look at eggs.

"See if there is an empty space? How big is it? Then you can judge how long the egg has been laid.

If you keep the same posture for a long time to put eggs, the top will be empty, and now they are all new eggs.

Look at the dried vegetables again, they are regular, and the color is not very yellow, and there is less dust. They belong to the vegetables dried in the shade in autumn."

Li Yi introduced the method of distinguishing ingredients, including the color and hardness of bacon, and judging the quality and time of meat.

Princess Yongmu listened carefully. She liked to listen to Li Yi's popular science the most.

"Yes, bacon can be stewed with dried vegetables, steamed with dried vegetables, and fried with dried vegetables. Many people like to eat it, except me. I don't like the taste and flavor of bacon."

Li Yi put the bacon and dried vegetables together.

He doesn't like bacon and sausage, but he can eat ham.

Li Yi thought of ham and suddenly froze, then smiled.

"There is a business that makes money, but now others don't know." Li Yi lowered his voice.

"What business?" Princess Yongmu looked around.

"Ham, pig hind legs, pig front legs, and pig tails, in fact, other animals are made in the same way, there are several ways, let's choose one."

Li Yi is going to make a lot of ham, and he will use the method of the most famous place.

"Is it delicious?" Princess Yongmu was greedy when she heard about pork.

"It's delicious. Unlike bacon, which needs to be cooked before it can be eaten, ham can be eaten directly.

It is said that the pigs in Jinhua County and Yiwu County in Wuzhou are good, but the roads are not very good. There are post stations, so it should be OK.

Ask someone to transport two pigs to see if they are the same as pigs in other places.

No, they are different, but you don't have to use pigs from there. Use other pigs first and send people to collect piglets locally."

Li Yi remembered that the pigs in Wuzhou have black heads and buttocks, similar to giant pandas.

It is said that the pigs are good, especially the distribution of muscles and fat.

"Okay!" Princess Yongmu had no doubt that since Li Yi said it, it must be made.

"I will write a letter back and ask them to collect pig hind legs. The entire Jingzhao Prefecture kills so many pigs every day. I want all the hind legs and front legs. I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Li Yi pulled Princess Yongmu into the car to write a letter, telling Zhuangzi to collect pig legs and give a detailed process for making ham.

It takes more than three months to make it. As pigs are killed every day, they will make it one by one.

A pig has four legs, so it is easy to collect 10,000 pig legs in two days.

"10,000?" Princess Yongmu opened her mouth slightly, the quantity was too much.

"Make 10,000 first, collect these in two days, the price of pork will rise, I will write it in the newspaper.

Wait for the first half of the month, collect another 10,000, and then you can't collect it, everything is expensive at the end of the year.

After the New Year, the ham made is spring ham, and the one made now is winter ham.

The best ham, because it is cold, bacteria are not easy to breed during processing, and the metabolism of the meat itself slows down."

Li Yi calculated the day and found that it was just right, right now.

Princess Yongmu swallowed her saliva: "Li Lang, if we make it now, when can we eat it?"

"Eat a little next autumn, and then keep it until the winter of the year after next, when it will taste the best.

Next winter I plan to make 100,000 hams and keep them until the year after next, or the ninth year of Kaiyuan.

Just like brewing wine, it needs to be aged in the cellar, and generally three years is the best."

Li Yi also wanted to make it today and eat it tomorrow, but unfortunately it is not possible. How can you eat it if it is not fermented well?

Next year, the scale of pig farming will be further expanded because there will be more grain.

"Oh!" Princess Yongmu regretted that she had to wait.

"Li Lang, how much does the ham cost?" Princess Yongmu thought about the good side again. The price should not be low if it has been fermented for a long time.

In her opinion, a ham made from a pig's front leg should be sold for fifty coins.

"Two-year-old front legs are one hundred coins, three-year-old ones are two hundred coins, and the weight is heavy, and the price is increased.

The hind legs are three hundred coins for two years, five hundred coins for three years, and the weight is increased."

Li Yi quoted the price, which was not something for ordinary people to eat at all.

When he has raised a lot of blackfin hams, he will make ham. After three years, he dares to sell it for a thousand coins. Someone will buy it.

It doesn’t matter whether the ham is really delicious. If the price is low, others will not approve of anything produced by Li’s farm.

“Then 10,000 can be sold... but it’s not much money.” Princess Yongmu calculated the account.

Suddenly realized that 500 coins each, 10,000 only 5,000 coins.

Her Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion makes money faster than robbing. Now it is closed for fun, and others can only wait.

“Think about when you were a child and couldn’t eat meat, you will know what 500 coins mean.”

Li Yi shook his head. 5,000 coins is not money? How much is a bushel of rice nowadays?
