86. Lean Pork

Luo Yong knew that Yang Dalang and others had always been worried about their background. In this era of extremely underdeveloped business, without land, it was equivalent to having no support.

But many people have gone further than others because they have no support. In Su Qin's words, "I have two hectares of land in Luoyang, how can I wear the seal of the six countries?"

"So what if you have land?                                                           

Although they have fields there, they are not like Dinghu County. There are large swaths of tidal flats, and the village where these people are located is even more in a mountain. The mountain road that they walk from their village to Xipo Village is full of mountains.

"In my opinion, what this hero said just now is very true. Your village is only two days away from here. You can raise pigs and beans in the future to make profits." An elderly merchant from the south in the hall said.

"It's not easy to go in the past two days. There are many mountains and forests on the way. I'm afraid I'll encounter beasts." Someone from Pingyi said.

"If you don't dare to leave, why don't you let my brothers do it for you?" Wang Dang said immediately.

"..." The plain people did not respond. Obviously, they were wary of Wang Dang and others. Although Wang Dang and others said that they were porters and vendors, in the eyes of those plain people, they looked more like rangers, with no fixed place to live, and were dangerous. The plain people did not want to deal with such people easily.

"We are Dinghu people. We have no land or land at home, but we have wives, children and young people to raise them. We have no choice but to come out to find some miscellaneous work. The brothers and sisters work together to avoid being bullied. It's not that I boast. Now, whether in Dinghu County or in Lishi County, the locals believe in my character. If you don't believe me, please ask everyone here."

Wang Sang and others obviously wanted to do business with Pingwu people, after all, their Dinghu County was still a little far away. In addition, there have been many merchants traveling between Dinghu and Lishi recently, and the market on Pingwu is still quite blank.

The plain people turned their eyes to Luo Yong, and Luo Yong said, "They came here last winter and had frequent contact with the villagers in our Xipo Village and were in peace with each other."

After hearing this, the plaintiffs really thought about this matter seriously. They were ordinary farmers and were unwilling to take risks. If they didn't have to walk this journey that seemed quite dangerous to them often, there was indeed great potential for growing beans and raising pigs.

The reason why Wang Dang and his brothers came here to join in the fun after planting the pear trees was to open up another way of wealth for themselves.

What the merchants present are most concerned about is naturally the group of pigs. After drinking and having a lot of food and chatting, someone proposed buying pigs. Almost none of the merchants present did not want these pigs, but they did not want to raise the price of the pig too high because of each other's gouging each other, so they tried each other in words and talked about it for a long time without a constitution.

Luo Yong really had no time to waste time with them, and was worried that after he left, these plain people would suffer losses by some bad merchants, so he made an opinion and asked everyone to buy pigs in the form of a secret bid.

He asked Xu Dalang's son to bring a handful of mahjong-sized soap and distribute it to everyone present, asking them to carve their names and bids on the soap particles, and then put the soap particles into a clay pot, and finally took out the soap particles in the clay pot one by one, and the one with the highest price won the bid.

In order to avoid the possibility of these people deliberately reducing the price by venting behind closed doors, Luo Yong also gave the plain people a soap pellet and asked them to write a minimum price. If the price written by the bidder is lower than this minimum price, the transaction will not be valid.

"This price is written about the total price of this group of pigs. Don't write it wrong."

Luo Yong carried Qilang, who was a little drowsy, to his knees, next to him. Liu Niang was dozing off next to Si Niang at this time. The child was like this and wanted to sleep when he was full. The girl Si Niang looked energetic, and was obviously very interested in the secret method proposed by Luo Yong.

These plain people were nervous. A group of people gathered together to discuss it. Finally, according to Luo's previous reminder, they wrote down the total price at the price of 200 yuan per pig.

They were very confused about this price, just because they were afraid that if one of them could not be done well, it would be impossible to do a business. Even if they drove these pigs to Lishi County tomorrow, they didn’t know if they could sell them at such a good price.

This time, they drove eleven pigs from all over the world, nearly a hundred kilograms and fifty or sixty kilograms. At this time, one kilogram was equivalent to one kilogram in later generations. These pigs were not the big white pigs of later generations, nor were they castrated, and they were not fed carefully. When they were raised so big, they were basically slaughtered into pigs.

Shen Lu and others were very confident whether these eleven pigs could really be sold for more than 2,200 yuan.

In fact, although those merchants were anxious to buy pigs, they did not want to be suckers. The pigs that these plain people rushed to were not as fat as those raised in Xiaohe Village, Xipo Village, and naturally there was not much lard. They bought pigs this time just for lard.

While observing the reactions of others, the merchants present repeatedly estimated and guessed in their minds. Finally, they carefully wrote down a price, blocked it with their hands, and gently put it into the jar.

If this standard is in place, they can use these pigs to boil lard and exchange it for soap from Luo Sanlang.

If this mark fails, you will naturally continue to queue up for shipment.

After everyone had written the price, Luo Yong poured out the soap grains from the jar, placed them one by one on the table, looked at the handwriting on it with the orange light, and finally found the one with the highest bidder.

"The owner of the goods set a minimum price of 2,200 yuan. The highest bidder here is the Shen family in Liangzhou, with 2,950 yuan. The transaction is established." Luo Yong finally announced.

"Oh, I just wanted to write about three thousand coins, but after thinking about it, I wrote about two thousand nine hundred coins." As soon as the final result came out, someone immediately patted his thigh and looked regretful.

"It's a coincidence. I also wrote two thousand nine hundred yuan."

"Shen Dalang's price is very well written."

Regrets, no matter what, the overall situation has been decided, and this group of pigs is destined to be out of reach, so they have to continue waiting. Maybe someone will come to sell pigs in a few days. After all, the news of the high price of pigs in Lishi County has also been spread to various surrounding areas at this time.

Although the price was written for 2,950 yuan, the payment for the goods was paid in silk cloth.

This incident also made Luo Yong feel a bit incredible. Liangzhou was the area of ​​Gansu in later generations. Now it is also a place for silk production. Almost every household raises silkworms. Locals go to the city to buy a piece of meat, but they don’t have to get money. They just cut two feet of silk cloth from their homes and went there.

Li Shi County has developed business recently, and the price of silk cloth is much lower than before. At this time, Shen Dalang used silk cloth to exchange pigs with the plains, which was also cost-effective for the plains. Even if they don’t use this silk cloth, they can still be used to pay taxes.

The two sides made a deal. The plains followed Luo Yong to stay in the village. The yard near Luo's family was empty recently and was just lending them overnight. In addition, they did not forget to pay the remaining pear seedlings.

Those who were unfamiliar with the land were unsure and did not dare to sleep separately. They forced themselves to spend the night in the same room. The next morning, Shen Wei came to Luo's yard and said goodbye to Luo Yong, and then hurried back with the villagers.

When I returned home, I looked at the copper coins and silk cloth I had allocated. These people seemed to be in a dream, and they were floating and unable to step on the ground.

Speaking of which, Shen Weng also has some courage. In fact, there are not a few pear trees in his family, so there are so many pear seedlings everywhere. Naturally, he has to do this business with other villagers. Now Shen Weng is no longer here, but the villagers can earn copper coins and silk cloth because of his agreement with Na Luo Sanlang.

The village where Shen Wei and others are located is called Qinggou. There are many slopes around the village and there are quite a few fertile land. Although there are pear trees in the village, it is not easy to sell pears because they are too far away from Pingyi County.

Living in such a small village, many villagers have never seen such a lot of money. This is Kaiyuan Tongbao, a coin that is minted with one coin of bronze, is not comparable to that of the previous coins.

Because they brought back news that they could make money by growing beans and raising pigs, the entire village has been thriving in the past few days.

If it were someone else, they might not believe it, but no one in Luo Sanlang had heard of his reputation. Although we had not met, the villagers had already learned the method of placing a fire kang and burning dirt from the surrounding villages. They also knew that these two methods were passed from Luo Sanlang in Xipo Village.

On the other hand, Wang Dang and others learned that the price of pigs in Qinggou was still relatively low, so they gathered several brothers and touched them all the way.

As of now, the people in Qinggou Village don’t trust those Dinghu people, but Wang Dang and others have good character. I believe that after several dealings, they can slowly build trust between them.

"Master, is it possible to cut these shredded pork into this size?" At the Xu family's house, Xu Sanlang cut a plate of shredded pork and brought it to Luo Yong for him to show it.

"Okay." Luo also cut some shredded vegetables here. When the meat was cut, he saw that the meat was cut, so he grabbed some white flour from the jar next to it and put some white flour into the meat. He grabbed it with his hands a few times and evenly dipped the flour on the shredded meat.

Recently, the price of lard in Lishi County has soared, and many foreign pigs have suddenly come. Compared with the price of pine oil and fat meat, the price of lean pork is much lower.

If it weren't for the fact that so many merchants gathered in Lishi County now and their consumption capacity was quite considerable, the price of this lean pork would have long since fallen.

In the past two days, the merchant surnamed Chen who lived in the Liangzhou of Xujiakes was slaughtering pigs and making oil, and a lot of lean pork was produced. The Xu brothers negotiated with them and decided to buy these lean pork. They originally thought that if they could not sell them in the near future, they would make them into jerky and sell them to those merchants.

After hearing this, Luo Yong took the time to teach them a new dish. Try to sell the pork when it is fresh. If you want to make jerky, it may not be possible to make more money. In business, cash is the king, and once it is hoarded, it will easily become a problem.

Among Luo Yong's disciples, the Xu brothers were closest to him. If Luo Yong had anything to do, they often ran in the front. When everyone was working on the peony cushion together in Dong, Xu Erlang and the others would run errands for Luo Yong a lot. Since that's the case, if there is any good thing about Luo Yong, they will naturally think about their brothers first.

Recently, I heard from Aunt Luo that the Xu family often asked him to have dinner together. Aunt Luo and his wife wanted to give him some money, but the other party refused to accept it no matter what.

"This fish-flavored shredded pork is not difficult to make. I have made it once, and you will know it after you have seen it."

In the 21st century, Luo Yong was a single man. He occasionally opened fire and would not make any complicated dishes. He liked to buy a few vegetables and stir-fry them with shredded pork. He ate them for two or three meals.

He can't say whether this fish-flavored shredded pork is authentic or not. In short, he has made it more often and has practiced his skills, and the taste will not be too bad.

First add oil, green onion, ginger and garlic to an iron kettle, then stir-fry the shredded pork, and then add a small spoonful of sauce when the sauce is almost done, then stir-fry to taste, then add vegetables and stir-fry for a few times. When the heat is almost done, you can thicken it and put it on a plate. There is no raw starch at this time, so it is okay to thicken it with flour.

Without pickled peppers, Luo Yong cut the pickles finely and put them down and stir-fry them. Because the Luo family’s bean paste is salty, there are those pickles and bean paste inside, so they don’t even need to put salt.

Oil is made of soybean oil. I haven’t developed soybean oil soap yet, so the price of soybean oil has not increased much. Lard is too expensive, so I have to change to soybean oil to eat.

Soybean oil is not cheap either. At this time, the oil pressing technology was backward, and even a stone of beans could not squeeze out much oil. The soybean meal obtained after the oil was squeezed is very good for feeding livestock. Luo family didn't often have to squeeze soybean oil once, and most of the soybean meal obtained was put into the stomach of five pairs.

The dish of fish-flavored shredded pork is simple to make, but it tastes quite good. The Xu brothers brought this dish to the hall and tasted it with the guests. The response was quite enthusiastic and several plates were sold that day.

In just two days, there was a legend in Lishi County that said that the Xu family's guest house recently launched a new dish, which was quite delicious.
