Chapter 909 Cheap medicinal materials are a trap for fools

The six magistrates Guo nodded. They were indeed familiar with it, but they couldn't remember it.

"It's time to add some medicinal materials. To remove the smell and improve the freshness, the medicinal materials chosen are probably produced locally or nearby. They are easy to obtain and the medicinal materials are not expensive."

Zhu Fan pointed out the reason and told the secret. The medicinal materials must be cheap and easy to obtain.

Individual medicinal materials cannot be sold at high prices. Jurchen ginseng is not expensive. In fact, it is bullying. Why are exotic pepper, frankincense, and myrrh so expensive?

Any medicinal materials that can be grown locally and grow quickly must be cheap. It is impossible for people to expect to make a fortune from medicinal materials.

Many medicinal materials are unpicked and there are few doctors. People can only find some medicinal materials around their homes and use them when they are sick, without knowing how to mix them.

For example, if you pick the windshield and leave it alone, boil it in water and scrub it when there are red spots on your body. If you get angry, dig up the roots of dandelion and soak them in water to drink.

In the future, as more and more Huimin pharmacies open in various places, the demand for medicinal materials will definitely increase rapidly, and people will make more money by collecting and growing medicines.

Tongpan Tian Jiang would not consider the price of medicinal materials now. He looked at the empty bowl and said: "Your Highness, you are not sick, take medicine..."

"Zanthoxylum bungeanum is medicine, but you don't take it? Star anise is medicine, but you don't take it? Do you think mutton is medicine, and what is it compatible with?" Zhu Fan asked.

I didn’t give you any arsenic. What are you afraid of? Do I need poison to kill you?

"Thank you, Your Highness, for clarifying my doubts. I am now enlightened." Tian Tongpan looked like he had been taught something.

Fellow acquaintance Chai Shu then said: "It costs the same two cents for a bowl of noodles, but with this recipe, the shops nearby don't have to make money!"

Zhu Fan shook his head: "First, focus on production and sales. People don't have pressure cookers, so it takes a long time to boil the oil out of the bones.

When the people recognize the flavor, teach them the recipe, and they will adjust the contents themselves in the future.

There should not be a monopoly on such things, but a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom. People should adapt to local conditions and find ways to replace expensive materials if they have too much.

What we have to do is to take advantage of the situation and encourage the people to have more ideas. As for the secret recipe, it is actually easy to analyze it by giving it to the imperial doctor at the imperial hospital. "

"Your Highness loves the people as much as his sons!" Magistrate Guo immediately shouted.

"Your Highness loves the people as your own children!" the other five people shouted in unison.

"Your Highness loves the people as your own children!" Those officials who had no idea what was going on were very skillful and just followed the call.

Someone is drinking soup! After shouting, I choked and coughed. Some air came out but no air came in. The people next to me helped me beat my back.

The guard from the royal palace came over and asked him to squat down, get up again, and squat down again. It really worked and he could take in air.

Zhu Fan noticed the situation and stood up: "Do you need first aid?"

"Back to Your Highness, that's all!" the guard responded.

Zhu Fan sat down again: "Where did you just talk about?"

"Your Highness, let's make it first, sell it to the people, and then let the people know the recipe. This... is it done in the name of the Jin Palace? The money is given to Your Highness..."

Governor Cao Longzhao reminded him and gave him some ideas to make money!

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Fan waved his hand and said, "You see we are short of money? The sergeants came to the village to teach literacy. The ink and paper among the four treasures of the study are consumables. They can be bought with the money from selling the jelly seeds and subsidized to the people.

You can buy it yourself. It doesn't matter how much it costs. Anyway, we will audit it in the end. I hope everyone understands.

The price for large-volume purchases is low, and merchants can pay taxes on sales. Write out purchase receipts, and we will send people to check. "

Six government officials: "..."

You say you don't care, are you sure you don't care? Then why do you...

"Your Highness, we just heard that the creeks and ditches in some places are very interesting. Can we ask more about them?"

The chief saw that everyone was talking about auditing, which was a waste of time. Needless to say auditing, we had to ask about the topography and landforms, and we would choose a place to look at tomorrow. "Thank you for your hard work, Chief!" Zhu Fan quickly gave up the chat channel.

The chief talked to the six people, and Zhu Wentian started grilling skewers. It was obvious that everyone couldn't eat the duck and goose cooked in other ways, so they quickly heated them up, otherwise they wouldn't be preserved until tomorrow morning.

Roast duck racks and sizzling duck racks produce oil. The oil is edible, but it would be a pity if it was used to make soap.

The grilled skewers include stuffed skewers, steamed gluten, and gluten. The steamed gluten is the gluten with holes in the dough, and the non-steamed ones are the gluten like sausages when eating barbecue.

The two gluten raw materials are the same. The residue after making starch is called activated gluten powder. The steamed one does not turn into powder before it becomes porous gluten.

Then grill the fish and shrimp. In the shrimp pot set up in Fenshui last night, there were a lot of fish just dragging a few nets.

The river snails are fished out but not eaten. Leave them there to spit out mud. It is best to spit them out for two days. Some of the parasites will be killed by the way, while the other parts need to be killed by high temperatures.

"Your Highness, I'm ready."

After the chief inquired about the situation, he returned the opportunity to communicate. He had to ask Hanhan where to choose for a walk tomorrow.

Zhu Fan stopped communicating with his elder brother and younger brother and picked up the beer glass: "My lords, drink the best! I brought a little beer. This time I came here to build a vegetable greenhouse and a brewery at the same time.

Wheat beer is mainly used to solve the problem of wheat germination. The aged beer is used to make vinegar and other wines. Beer requires malt.

It rains just in time for the wheat harvest. Farmers know that they want to die.

Therefore, we can use such raw malted wheat to brew beer. The fish is delicious without adding other things. It can be used to make beer chicken or beer duck.

Tomorrow we will try beer chicken and beer stewed fish. All the raw materials for making beer locally are available, which is very suitable. "

After saying that, he took a big sip of beer, which was cold and refreshing.

Others drink beer, and some feel uncomfortable when they come into contact with it, but they must endure it. His Highness, Prince Jin, can drink it, so you have to say it tastes good.

In fact, it’s not that hard to accept. You can add salt, tea leaves, realgar, dogwood, perilla, ginger, aniseed, green onions, etc. to the rice wine and you can drink it! oh! There is also lime, I feel like I can add anything.

You can drink rice wine that’s like cooking wine, but not beer? At least there aren't that many scary looking things added.

Sure enough, after a few sips, everyone got used to it. It was indeed a good beer, not a blended one, a craft beer.

"Your Highness, after brewing such delicious beer, will the people drink it themselves?"

Magistrate Guo looked at Zhu Fan expectantly. He found that the beer was delicious, but people should not drink it like this.

"Sell it! You see, don't you just want to ask us to help sell it! We have acorn trees here, and we can use them to make beer in barrels. The cooked beer can be stored for a long time, enough to be sold elsewhere."

Zhu Fan said as if I can read your mind, that's how good we are.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Magistrate Guo breathed a sigh of relief. The performance was a success, and His Highness felt that being able to control his ministers was the way to survive.

"Thank you, much, drink, eat, pickle, knife, noodles, sell, thank you, um! Hey, hey, hey..." Zhu Wentian suddenly spoke in cooperation there.

Magistrate Guo's head is buzzing, what are you talking about? This fool is so annoying.

But the four princes reacted in an instant. They could understand. Hanhan said that he was selling delicious noodles and wanted to thank the people for helping the people. The beer was delicious, thank you.

Then the question comes, Xiangzi is helping the people, beer...

Zhu Feng, the elder brother, said: "Prefect Guo, if you have any ideas in the future, please tell me directly. Our third brother is young and does not know some methods."

Magistrate Guo Jinglan: "..."

　No more, count it as yesterday
