In Chang'an
Chapter 21:In Chang'an
“Yes!”Li Huo nodded very dazed, is it not a piece of pancreas, it is necessary to make such a painful expression?
“The loser!I... I...” Ma was really angry this time, and his whole body was tremble, which was the first time Li Xiu saw him so angry.
"Uncle Ma, what's the matter, isn't it a piece of pancreas, and I'll go to Chang'an to buy a piece to pay you back?"Li Hue was also a little strange at this time, Ma Chang was usually a very generous person, how could he be so angry because of a pancreas?
“Buy?Where did you buy it?The pancreas is not insignificant, but in fact, the production is extremely complex, only the royal family and a few big families in the control of the production method, and it is said that the output is very small, usually rich can not buy, I only have two pancreas in my hand, or the princess gave it to me, usually not even myself, but did not expect to be used by you this loser to the dog bathing.At this moment, the horse finally shouted with a sad face.
Although the royal can make the pan, but because of the limited production, only the supply of royal self-use, occasionally will be given to the minister, although Ma Sanbao is also an important general, but has not been rewarded, want to use can only be given to him by the princess of Pingyang, which can be seen as precious as the pancreas.
"Isn't it just made of pig pancreas and bean powder, although the pig pancreas production is limited, but it's not even your general?"Li Xiu asked incredulously at that moment.
"How simple, I heard that the pancreas manufacturing to use a lot of precious spices, and the production is very complicated, accidentally may fail, so the number of pancreas finished products is very small, usually I don't want to take a bath, only encounter a major festival, will be used to clean hands, you are good, even give the dog a bath, I said, you are not a loser is what?" 」Ma was exhaling again, originally gave Li Hu a pancreas nothing, but angry he did not know how to cherish.
Li Hugh heard here can not help but have a stunned feeling, killed him will not think that a piece of soap is not as good as the pancreas is so precious, it seems that the backwardness of the technology and productivity of this era, far more than their own advance estimate.
"Uncle Ma, I really didn't know that the pancreas is so precious, but you don't have to be distressed, it's not too much for me to pay you a better piece in two days!"Li Hue first explained a sentence, and then opened the door again to ensure that a pancreas in the district was just a piece of pan, it was no big deal that he made a piece of soap to pay for the horse, and the saponification reaction of the middle school chemistry class still remembered.
“What?Don't tell me, you know how to make the pan, don't you?"The originally exhaled horse master heard here, but some suspiciously looked at Li Huo, if others said so, he must think that the other side is bragging, but Li Hue this little guy has broken his expectations several times, and now he does not know how much of this boy has not revealed.
“Hey, you’ll know that by then!”Li Hue then deliberately sold a Guanzi, and even if he wanted to explain, I am afraid that the mare could not understand, so it was better not to say it.
Seeing that Li Hue was so confidential, Master Ma also laughed and scolded, and then did not ask again, and began to greet him to eat vegetables, but just a few bites, Master suddenly asked with some surprise: "Boy, the eggs on your plate are finished?"
“Of course!”Li Shu looked at the bright plate in front of him and smiled.
“Where is the egg?”The man looked up at him with wide eyes.
“Three eats!”Lee’s face doesn’t change the way.
“Why is your stomach so drummed?”
“Eat it!”
"..." Ma was speechless, and had never seen anyone who had been exposed and so brazen.
Although there were some small interruptions in the middle, but did not affect the interest of the mare, until the end of the feast, he had been drunk, was taken care of his little brother Liu to help go down to rest, Li Xiu did not drink, this escaped, when he went out of the living room, saw the old seven standing outside the door, the moment Li Shu went to take out a few eggs and handed over: "Old seven, please eat eggs!"
Looking at the egg handed in front of him, the old seven had always been a clear breath on the face of the ancient well, and then still very concisely shook his head: "Injured!"
“Injured?”Li Hugh heard some sympathy here looking at the old seven, it seems that the man just said that the previous egg is not enough to eat is not enough to believe.
Leaving the princess courtyard, Li Hu did not answer, but turned to Lijiazhuangzi, met the children in the Chuangzi each person to send an egg, this era of people can be born, do not look at the Chuangzi on the five families, but the children in the Chuangzi are many, more than 20 eggs issued, even not enough, several older children have given eggs to their younger brother and sister, which makes Li Huan a little embarrassed, tell them to bring them a snack tomorrow.
Finally, Li Hugh came to Liu Lao, and saw that Liu Lao's husband and wife and Su Mai were in the yard, and there were still a few cages of sprouts that had been produced, and all these sprouts were to be pulled to the city tomorrow morning to sell.
“Uncle Liu is busy, is there anyone else who is going to embarrass you during this time?”Li Hugh smiled and walked into the yard and Liu said hello.
“Your house is coming, please sit down!”Liu boss saw Li Hugh come in, quickly washed his hands and asked Li Hugh to meet the wooden pier in the yard, and then continued, "Since the last time the master you helped us to teach the group, no one has found our trouble again this time, usually the people who buy food are also a lot of polite to us, and even the Wuhou in the vegetable market is also very good to us."
Li Hugh heard here is also a little smile, this situation is also in his expectations, after all, although the city of Chang'an is big, but for the circle of the powerful, but there is no secret, Wang Junyan people want to grab the bean sprouts business, but was Pingyang Princess House Ma Sanbao taught a meal, this kind of thing is enough power of the nobles for a long time, even with everyone knows that the bean sprouts business behind the princess support, which is not long-eyed but dare to find trouble?
"Uncle Liu, tomorrow you go to sell bean sprouts and call me, I'm going to Chang'an City to buy something."Li Hugh once again said that since he promised his master to give him a better pancreas, he could not break his word, so he decided to make some soap out, but I don't know if he could buy the material in Chang'an?
Hearing that Li Hugh was going to the city, Liu boss also promised, and then let his mother-in-law prepare meals, but Li Huu had just eaten, which would still belly, so he hurriedly refused, and finally left Liu Lao.
The next morning, it was still dark outside, Li Huo was woken up by Liu boss, then he dressed and followed Liu boss they pushed the sprouts, enough to go for an hour to come to the city gate, then the eastern sky just white, the city gate has gathered a lot of people, and waited for about a tea time, the city gate was finally opened, into the city on the right side of the city gate, the city door, the left side of the city, the two sides do not interfere with each other.
After entering the city, Li Hugh and Liu boss they separated, originally Liu boss did not rest assured that he alone, had to follow Li Hugh, but Li Hugh knew that the sale of sprouts has not enough, if Liu boss followed himself, the person who sold the sprouts is not enough, so finally refused his good intentions, he hangs out alone in Chang'an City.
It is said that Li Huo's time to cross to the Tang Dynasty is not short, and he lives on the edge of Chang'an City, but it is still the first time to enter the city, so for this legendary ancient capital, but also with a very interest, then he went to the legendary Suzaku Street, the result was about 150 meters wide street is also startled, so wide street can be used as an airstrip.
Although it is early morning, but Suzuki Street has been very lively, the traffic of pedestrians, but unfortunately, there are no shops or early stalls on both sides of the street, because Chang'an City strictly in accordance with the structure of the city, business can only be in the square or other fixed areas, other places are not allowed to do business.
Li Huo walked along Suzaku Street to Leye Fang, and then turned to the west and took a road, and finally came to the legendary West City, Chang'an City has two special business district, namely, East and West City, the Middle East city around most of the elite, so the main business of all kinds of luxury goods, inside are mostly jewelry and other shops.
And the western city is more civilian, there are everything to sell here, plus the starting point of the Silk Road is Chang'an, and from the west city can easily enter and exit the city gate, so the West city here Hu Han mixed, Persian carpets, geranky gold ornaments, Western wine, etc., can be found here.
Li Hugh came to the West City at noon, to know that only Suzuki Street is ten miles long, and he is walking around, so he walked slowly, and he has not even eaten breakfast, he wanted to find a restaurant to eat something, but was attracted by the smell of husband on the street, now took out a few money to buy a patty, inside with lamb while walking.
There is not much material needed to make soap, the first is oil, the second is alkali, that is, sodium hydroxide, this thing is very little in nature, but can be generated by noodles and lime reactions, so Li Hu first went to buy some lime, and then went to buy noodles, this thing Chinese people called cold stone, and they have learned to put noodles into flour, so that the pasta is more delicious.
Finally, to buy oil, Li Hugh knew before that the oil of the Tang era was very precious, before he made fried bean sprouts, it was difficult to find some oil, and then Liu Daeying went to his butcher's father-in-law's house to come to a little lard, the farmer's family at night is not willing to light the lamp, because to burn the oil, although the oil can not be eaten, but also expensive.
Li Hugh came to the grain and oil shop to ask, found that here only sold vegetable oil, want animal oil can only go to the vegetable market, and animal oil is much more expensive than vegetable oil, do soap oil is not much required, so Li Sheu decided to choose a cheaper vegetable oil, and vegetable oil types, but the most common two kinds, one is can not eat, can only do lamp oil, the other is can be eaten of sesame oil, in fact, is the sesame oil.
Because hemp oil can be eaten, so it is much more expensive, Tong oil is relatively cheap, but this thing is toxic, and skin contact may cause dermatitis, so Li Hu can only choose hemp oil, and when he asked the specific price, again was startled, a small altar of hemp oil even to count, no wonder the people of Datang did not invent stir-fry, which simply can not afford it!
