In Xianchuan County, Chuzhou, the newly appointed county magistrate is only twenty years old, and he was out of the Ming Dynasty earlier, because of the connections of the Pei family in Hedong, the people who fell out with Wang Shichong back then will help to some extent.

Zhang Gong, the Duke of Zou Guo, made a guarantee and asked him to practice the art of war under Su Liemen, which can be said to be both civil and military.

"Keep the promise, Changshi there, I have already said okay, you take care of yourself in Chuzhou."

At the Hanshui Wharf in Xianchuan County, there is a newly-made official ship on the side of the trestle. Seven-rank bureaucrats and above, when they go to report on their work, they can rely on the official document seal to call the Cao Yun Yamen's Cao boat as a foot force.

"Thank you, uncle, little nephew for waking up."

"Stay, stay......"

The middle-aged man waved his hand again and again, and then got on the boat, stood at the bow of the boat, and waved goodbye to his nephew.

Next to the young county commander, stood a tall guard, with an archer pressing a horizontal sword at his waist. When the middle-aged man's official ship gradually moved away, he said: "Lang Jun, the general will be transferred to Dunhuang in the near future, since Lang Jun intends to follow Rong, why did he come to the south to be a hundred miles of marquis?" ”

"Zou Guogong took care of me because of the stories of previous years, how can I not appreciate it? Hedong Pei's family, it can't be so unbearable. ”

After that, the young county magistrate said, "Moreover, when I came to Chuzhou, I also admired Zhang Liangfeng, and when I was in Chang'an in the old years, he also took more care of me. If it weren't for his protection, it would be Cheng Saburo or something, and he wouldn't have let me be safe. ”

"Zhang Weizhou is in the capital, and he has a very good reputation, and even the King of Wei is also very praised, and he often sighs that he can't be kind and is a guest for his seat."

"Back then, in Chunming Building, Xue Dingwei was frightened to get back to Xue's hometown, how could Zhang Liangfeng be a good man."

"That'...... Lang Jun is going to Hanyang to meet this Shangguan? ”

"It's not necessary, my uncle, originally listened to his orders and came to Xianchuan."

After that, the county order and his party returned to the county office. After getting acquainted with it, the new county magistrate of Xianchuan County ushered in the first important thing.

In Hanyang City, Zhang De finished approving the official document and called his staff: "Has the shallot in September entered Beijing?" ”

"Envoy, the first batch of 1,000 stones has been loaded into Beijing."

"After the Silk Road was opened in the past few years, the shallots have indeed sold a lot."

"100,000 catties of shallots are not enough for half a day, and now the cold and hot are all green onions, and when it is ten years, I haven't seen this way of eating. It's that shallots are cheaper, far less than shallots. ”

"The yield of shallots per mu is low, and besides, the smell of shallots is small, and the Hu people don't like it."

In recent years, the main residential areas of the Hu people are in the west of the city, and in the past few years, caravans were allowed to enter the city, but later there were more camel teams, horse teams, and mule teams, and livestock were expressly forbidden to enter the city.

Not to mention cattle and sheep, all slaughtered outside the city.

Nowadays, Chang'an City is real, and there is no field to grow much food. There are still one or two acres of self-reserved land in the market, and some seasonings are also planted, and the worst is lettuce, woad, and even mushrooms are covered in greenhouses.

"What is the yield per mu of green onions in Xianchuan this year?"

"Do you want to count the green onions?"

"It doesn't count."

"From September to May of the next year, there will be more than 6,000 catties in the stall."

"How many big onion growers?"

"Eleven, because it is underwritten by a business in the capital, so the onion business name of a small household is not accepted. However, some large households also collect green onions from small households and use them to offset their own goods. ”

"As long as the onion is suitable, don't worry about it. It's just that small households have changed their grain to green onions, and once the price of green onions plummets, grain will not emerge from the ground in one go. ”

"At present, most of them go to Qianzhong to ask the barbarians to harvest rice, and it will not be a problem to maintain it for two or three years."

"People are dying."

"I'm also worried about this, and most of the incidents that have occurred in Henan Province in the past two years are like this. In addition, the collusion between officials and businessmen is difficult to prevent, and no matter how big the matter is, I am afraid that it will be out of control. ”

"I'll take care of the acre of three-point land in Chuzhou first."

"Let's go down and understand."

"Let Zhang Songbai go to Xianchuan and commend Pei Xingjian."

"Yes, let's go."

Originally, Pei Xingjian thought that he would be a county magistrate, which was similar to the county order of his hometown in Hedong. It's just that what I never expected was that it was easy and not easy for the officials in Chuzhou.

Relaxed, that's because the rules and regulations are strict, things are apportioned and disposed of, the county order is indecided, and the staff team is all "Master Chuzhou", no matter how big or small, not to say that the explanation is clear, but ask where the matter is, it is clear.

It's not easy, that's because the stalls are extremely large, even if it's just a handful of shallots that the Hu people in Chang'an love to eat, and the price of sending goods once is actually 5,000 to 10,000 yuan. In the final analysis, it is because of the matter of contacting Chang'an, which is a regulation set by the governor of Chuzhou, and the governor and the business name are double guarantees, but there is a link that drags on, and if it is not done well, it will be a loss of thousands of yuan.

Originally, when Pei Xingjian saw those local county orders, he only felt that he was "the powerful party", and as for the "herdsmen on behalf of the Son of Heaven", he had never seen it. A county magistrate wants to destroy those inferior landlords, but it is just a gesture.

But to the people, these acts are only "mighty", but there is no "respect".

"Lang Jun, there is a shredding plant in front."

"Why does it smell so strong?"

"In addition to sheep grass, there are also those that specialize in chopped green onions and chopped peppercorns."

"Green onions?"

"It's diced shallots, after being crushed, there are two kinds, one is wet goods, this is a big family in Xiachuan, which can afford to use ice, and it can be transported to Chang'an to make wet goods available; The other is dry goods, Chang'an sheep soup uses this more, and the market also buys more Sichuan onions. ”

"More expensive?"

"Much higher, you have to have twice as much profit."

Sneer......

The waterwheel rotates vigorously, driving the crushers, which are available in various models. The worker feeds the material from the inlet, and the blade in the crusher rotates, easily shredding the material and then falling into the charging basket below. When the basket is full, immediately replace it with a charging basket.

In this area, there are mostly such workshops, and Pei Xingjian is also well-informed, which is not unusual. But when he saw a new workshop erecting a plaque, he asked, "Is there a new workshop over there?" ”

"It's a mill."

"Wheat flour?"

"I heard that it's not wheat flour, but rice flour, taro flour and the like."

"Rice noodles?"

Pei Xingjian hadn't seen it, so he went to see what was going on.

"The little one has seen the big order!"

As soon as the county order arrived, the children of the merchants bowed to each other, but the busy workers still did not stop and were busy.

I saw a strange machine, and there was an iron stigma in the tube, and the stigma was spiral-shaped, which made Pei Xingjian curious.

"What is this?"

"Back to Ming Mansion, this is a utensil for making rice noodles."

It was the foreman who replied, and while he said, he instructed people to hurry up and work, and soon installed the machine properly, there was a young student, dressed and talked differently from everyone else, he said to the foreman: "First try whether this worm is suitable for use, if the extruded rice flour is good, it will not be changed." ”

"Okay, okay, listen to Pang Gong, listen to Pang Gong's ......"

When the machine rotates, it is not long before the discharge hole at one end of the worm sleeve is constantly squeezed out of the slightly rough rice noodle line. After another moment, these rough rice noodle threads finally began to become smooth, and some workers picked up scissors, cut them, and put a handful of rice noodle threads in a bamboo basket on the side.

Twenty catties of trial products were picked out, and someone took them out.

Pei Xingjian said strangely: "What is this doing?" ”

"If you go back to the Ming Mansion, cook it, these are to be tasted."

After a while, there were seven or eight methods such as sour soup powder, fried powder, steamed powder, cold noodles and so on.

Originally, Pei Xingjian just came to see a strange thing, but this scene was a big move in his index finger, and he actually had the desire to taste it.

It was about to see the appearance of the county order, which was called Pang Gong, and let people bring a bowl of beef fried noodles up, and the chopsticks were also refreshing and clean, Pei Xingjian looked like this, and said a little embarrassed: "Then the county is cheeky......"

After a while, Pang Gong asked the county order: "I don't know the taste of Heming Mansion?" ”

Pei Xingjian's face was slightly red, and he said softly: "Let's have another bowl." ”

The crowd immediately applauded, but they applauded the county order, and the foreman was also a shrewd man, so he hurriedly went out to talk to the people, and reported it to the proprietor. Not long after, there was a plaque specially made in Xianchuan County, and it was set with a "come to a bowl" sign, saying that it was going to be sent to Chang'an.

At the end of September, outside Chang'an, there was an additional rice noodle restaurant called "Let's Bowl".
