Chapter 87

It seems impossible for Yang Tiezhu to accompany his daughter-in-law in the house without going anywhere. Because it's getting hotter and hotter now, it's even more nervous to make fresh cured meat.

It's not that there are not enough manpower. After all, they don't have a lot of sales right now. A few people have been busy doing it for a day or two. The key is that the weather is hot and the cured meat is not good to keep fresh.

Since the weather began to warm up, Lin Qingwan told Yao that they should try to do it. They should not do too much at one time. It is enough to deliver goods in the next few days. It's better to work harder than to let things go bad. As a result, the construction period of fresh cured meat is getting more and more urgent, and even it has to be done every two days in preparation for delivery.

As for the problem of fresh cured meat, it seems that the people here have not tasted it. The shopkeepers of several restaurants have not mentioned it. Lin Qingwan is relieved.

She even developed two more flavors, one is spicy, the other is five flavor. As for the proportion and production of thirteen incense, Lin Qingwan gave it to Yang Tiezhu when he was good at it, and told him that he must not tell outsiders about the formula.

Yang Tiezhu knew that this was the secret recipe of his daughter-in-law's "ancestry", and he must have known that no one could tell him about it.

On weekdays, the thirteen incense and five spice powder needed for the fresh cured meat are all arranged by Yang Tiezhu. He makes a lot of them at one time. When necessary, they directly wrapped it in paper and asked Yao and yang to put them in when they made the meat delicious. Lin Qingwan told him all these things.

As for how you said the five spice powder was made? It seems that it's not difficult to get out the gourd with thirteen flavors. After all, five spices need only five ingredients. Lin Qingwan tried many times, but he did not miss it.

With the gradual entering of summer, the construction period of fresh cured meat is more urgent, almost one batch a day. The next day, he delivered the goods. For this matter, not only Yang tiegen was very busy, but also Xia Dacheng was busy. After all, these two people have to send several restaurants in Luoyun town and about ten restaurants in several towns nearby.

To this end, Yang Tiezhu went to buy a mule cart and came back for delivery. Now one mule cart is not enough. Fortunately, the barn was built so large that two cars could fit in.

Because of the frequent delivery without planning, Yang tiegen and Xia Dacheng delivered heavy goods. This one was sent once, and the other went again. When I heard the work in the shop said that someone had delivered it, he could only admit that he was unlucky and made a wrong trip. But both of them didn't blame each other. After all, they were too busy to deliver goods frequently these days.

Lin Qingwan was also worried. Knowing that it would not work like this, she grabbed Yang Tiezhu and asked him to dictate the situation, and then made a road map.

The road map divides the nearby towns into two parts. After delivery, one person was responsible for a road map, and the two did not disturb each other. Even because Lin Qingwan was careful, he listed the most time-saving running methods.

Yang tiegen and Xia Dacheng got the road map and tried to understand what was going on. When they came back, they all said that the road map was good, saving time and trouble. The key was to have a clear division of labor and not repeat it. Because Yang tiegen can't read, Lin Qingwan specially drew it and asked Yang Tiezhu to explain it to him. During this period, he didn't mention the time spent.

Yang Tiezhu came back and talked to Lin Qingwan. He praised her again. Lin Qingwan was relieved.

After all, this is her family business, and she must try her best to find a way.

In the twinkling of an eye, it's getting hotter and hotter.

But Yang Tiezhu did not feel the heat, and they were full of fresh cured meat.

With the heat of the weather, the fresh cured meat can't be put out any more. Even if they want to make it in the morning and deliver it in the afternoon, it is inevitable that there will be rotten bacon.

For this matter, Yang Tiezhu has been worried about sleeping well these days.

At this time, Lin Qingwan was also at a loss.

In order to prolong the storage time of the fresh cured meat, she even thought of steaming the fresh cured meat and sending it back, but it could only be kept for about a day, and it would not work after a long time. But in a day's time, where can we finish all those restaurants in the nearby town. In order to earn money, the family almost always irrigates fresh cured meat, then steams it for delivery. Not only the delivery people were almost not exposed to the sun to death, but also the family members were half dead.

Yang Tiezhu and Xia Dacheng discussed that it was no longer possible to stop the fresh cured meat and start to do it after the summer. However, they were reluctant to delay their business in the past few months. Can only think of a variety of fresh-keeping methods, while three people have run out to deliver goods.

In order to ensure that three people can deliver goods at the same time, Yang Tiezhu bought a mule cart to come back.

But even so, it still can't work. Yang Tiezhu a few people's mouth, not a few days on the anxiety of a string of fire bubbles.

The cicada outside the house squeaked, never tire of it.

Lin Qingwan sat in the room, in a confused mind, and kept fanning herself with a leaf fan in her hand.

It's really hot this summer. She didn't feel hot at this time last year. They say that pregnant women have enough firepower, and I don't know if it is because of pregnancy. This year, she is especially afraid of heat.She had laid mats at home for a long time. Later, even because the reed mat was not cool enough, she also asked men to buy bamboo mats woven with bamboo strips. It's much cooler than the reed mat when I buy it. Especially, I wipe it with cool well water before using it. I can't get dry when I lie on it.

Lin Qingwan looked outside and looked again and again. He did not see the man coming back. He went to the Kang and lay on the mat for a while.

After lying down for a while, I fell asleep.

Yang Tiezhu went out to deliver goods in the morning and didn't come back until the afternoon. Resolute face is red in the sun, even because these days for a long time under the sun, there are some molting.

After coming back, he did nothing. He took off his clothes and stood at the edge of the well to pour a bucket of well water on his body. Anyway, there is no one else in the family now. He and his daughter-in-law don't have to worry about anything.

Lin Qingwan heard the movement and got up. As soon as he came out, he saw a man taking a shower with his bare arms.

Transparent drops of water flowed down the man's dark arm, and his strong back was full of tendons. The scar on the left shoulder is so numerous that it is even more ferocious. This wound was taken by the blind bear last year. The wound was healed, but the scar did not fall off.

Lin Qingwan blushed at the sight, but he still complained: "how many times have you said it? Don't use the well water to cool down. Only when you come back from the outside, you'll be surprised. Be careful of catching cold."

Yang Tiezhu ha ha ha silly smile, twist body, "daughter-in-law, I am hot."

As soon as the man turned around, Lin Qingwan saw his strong muscles and even his eight abdominal muscles

Her face is red again, "hot also want to burn some warm water to wash, after a while it will not be hot."

It's really better than I've ever been in my life. When it's hot, there's air-conditioned cold drinks. It's so cool to hide in the air-conditioned room with the door closed in the summer.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingwan was stunned.

Air conditioning, refrigerator -

"wanwan, do you have any food at home? I'm busy delivering goods. I didn't eat anything at noon. I'm so hungry at the moment. " Yang Tiezhu dried his clothes and wiped them on his body.

"There are cold noodles made by three younger brothers and sisters in the kitchen. I don't have any appetite or eat at noon. I'll get them for you." When it comes to cold noodles, Lin Qingwan taught Yao because it's too hot in summer. In addition, people in my family are very busy recently and have no time to cook. Lin Qingwan thought of this simple food, which was convenient and appetizing.

Yang Tiezhu quickly waved his hand, "OK, I know. I'll get it myself. Don't move. Go inside and sit down."

Lin Qingwan had to turn around and sit in the room again.

After a while, Yang Tiezhu brought in two bowls of cold noodles.

Snow white face, green cucumber silk, also put some good vegetables. These are prepared in advance by Yao. When you want to eat them, you can put some garlic juice, salt and vinegar according to your taste, and add some sesame oil to mix them. It is a delicious and refreshing summer food.

Knowing that Lin Qingwan likes to eat peppers, Yang Tiezhu put some chili oil into her bowl. These days eat cold noodles many times, even Yang Tiezhu can mix noodles.

Put the noodles and chopsticks in front of his daughter-in-law, and Yang Tiezhu picked up the bowl and ate it. He was also very hungry, and a large bowl of noodles soon went down.

Lin Qingwan is holding chopsticks and continues to think about the broken train of thought.

If only there was a refrigerator, or ice.

There was ice in Daxi Dynasty. In the past, when the original owner was in the capital, the masters of the Lin family all had ice to cool down in summer. She also has, but she is always forgotten to send, or is deducted.

Generally, there are ice cellars in the homes of big families, which are used to store ice for summer use. It seems that there are people who specialize in selling ice

Thinking of this, Lin Qingwan would like to slap her two times. Why not think of storing some ice earlier?

It's cold in winter in Luoxia village. You don't have to dig for ice in the river. You can put some water in some containers and throw it out overnight. Then dig an ice cellar and store it. Now I won't jump in a hurry.

But now no matter how annoyed also useless, only blame her at that time not thoughtful just did not think of these.

"Wan Wan, why don't you eat it?" Yang Tiezhu put down the bowl and asked strangely, "are you uncomfortable? When the weather is hot, you should eat as much as you want. There are still dolls in your belly. "

Lin Qingwan regained consciousness and laughed, "I'm not hungry. I had some snacks at noon. Are you ready? When you're ready, go and invite brother Dacheng. I have something to say

Yang Tiezhu scratched his head and didn't think much about it. He took his bowl to the kitchen and put on his clothes to find Xia Dacheng.

After a while, Xia Da achievement came with Yang Tiezhu, also full of sweat. He had just delivered the goods back, and was called by his cousin before he could wipe his sweat. Xia Dacheng has also been exposed to the sun recently. In the past, it is still wheat color. In the past two days, it has become black coal, almost like Yang Tiezhu.

"Tiezhu daughter-in-law, what do you want to see me for?"

Lin Qingwan didn't get up to meet him because he had a big stomach and was his own.

"Brother Dacheng, sit down."

Xia Dacheng sat down and was not polite. He took the kettle and poured a cup of water. After pouring it down, he began to speak: "what's the matter?"Lin Qingwan pondered for a moment in his mind and said slowly, "brother Dacheng, I don't know if I can buy ice outside now?"

Xia Dacheng shows a wry smile. He has long thought that ice can keep the freshness of food, but the price of ice is not affordable for small businesses like them.

When he was in the county, he knew that there were big families in Yangcheng who stored their own ice for summer use, and that some people in the city sold ice in summer. However, the price is too high, so it is not cost-effective to buy it for preservation of fresh cured meat. Let alone make money at that time. It is good not to lose money. Second, as far as he knows, there is no one selling ice in Huaihe county. At most, some big families freeze their own ice in winter and then store it for home use in summer.

And as far as he knows, some people who use ice to keep food fresh are those who sell seafood in big cities. Seafood is not fresh after being out of water for a long time. It can only be preserved with ice. But when seafood is transported inland, the price is extremely expensive. And their bacon is fresh, only 60 Wen a kilogram, the volume is not as small as seafood.

This sister-in-law is a woman's family after all. Even though she is extremely smart and has a lot of good ideas in business, she is still restricted by her vision and her ideas are naive.

However, Xia Dacheng did not laugh at Lin Qingwan, but slowly explained the truth. Including the difficulty of getting ice, and the concerns.

Yang Tiezhu thought he had thought of a good way. After listening to Xia Dacheng, he immediately let out his anger.

Of course, Lin Qingwan understands the truth. She also knows that there are few things with ice to keep fresh. Ice can be used to keep fresh, no more than some tribute, or seafood. She has also seen ice to keep seafood fresh.

Because the capital is inland, seafood is extremely rare. Many big families can enjoy it, but obviously the Lin family is not good enough. Once, Lin's family, his father's uncle, Lin Cheng, gave them a basket of seafood.

When it arrived, it caused a stir in the big kitchen. They said that the seafood was very fresh, and the basket was sent with ice under it.

Here is different from the modern life, traffic developed, all kinds of settings are complete. Lin Qingwan can imagine how much manpower and material resources are needed to send the seafood to the capital without deterioration. It goes without saying how much ice is used to keep the quality.

But by placing ice under the basket, she could imagine that the people here didn't understand the issue of sealing and heat preservation, so that they were blind to a lot of ice.

Lin Qingwan was not discouraged by Xia Dacheng's words. She asked again, "brother Dacheng, have you heard of saltpeter?"

Yes, Lin Qingwan thought of a way to make ice with saltpeter.

Thanks to all kinds of travel novels in the 21st century, Lin Qingwan has a deep memory of the "formula" that the female traverser often uses to make a fortune. Not only do you know what it is made of, but also how to make it.

Now only hope that through the novel do not deceive her this little reading person, the other is that saltpeter can be found easily, and it is not expensive.

"Saltpeter?" Xia Dacheng shook his head after pondering for a long time.

Yang Tiezhu also thought, but he had not heard of such things.

Lin Qingwan took a deep breath. She was helpless, but she still didn't give up her idea.

"Brother Dacheng, you and Tiezhu help to find out. If we can find saltpeter, the problem of fresh preservation of our cured meat will be almost solved."

Xia Dacheng was happy, but still a little confused, "really? Finding saltpeter can solve the problem of fresh and fresh cured meat

Lin Qingwan nodded, but he did not die. "If you can find it, it's more than half sure."

Xia Dacheng stood up and said, "OK, I'll go to find it separately with Tiezhu. But you have to give us some clues as to where to buy or get this kind of thing? "

He is also in urgent need of medical treatment. The fresh cured meat is now too much for him to do. He can only be a living horse doctor when he is dead.

Lin Qingwan thought for a second, "this is for medicine, or for alchemy. Why don't you go to the hospital to see if it's available. Oh, by the way, there are other names for this thing... " She tried to think again and again, "fireworks, fire, frost, you first ask to see."

Xia Dacheng was surprised to hear about alchemy.

Yang Tiezhu doesn't know what alchemy is, but Xia Da has a wide range of ideas. He has heard that the holy master is obsessed with alchemy. Only those extremely rich families in the capital will know about alchemy, or even what alchemy is used for. However, he was relieved when he thought about the origin of this cousin. He knew that this sister-in-law was a servant girl of a rich family. He would be sold here only if he made a mistake. It is estimated that he only heard about this in that rich family.

Xia Dacheng checked several names of saltpeter with Lin Qingwan, and then he took Yang Tiezhu to look for them separately.

Lin Qingwan sat alone in the room and sighed deeply.

If you can find it, you have to leave it to God. I hope God will bless everything.
