Chapter 369 Counting Silver
Zheng Sisi was in charge of coordinating work, and since there was work to be arranged, Sheng Zhen followed her.
The job of the remaining five people was to count the silver. They counted the silver happily. Several of them were smiling and couldn't wait to start, one box, two boxes, three boxes... The more the five people counted, the slower they went and the less smiles they had on their faces.
When she counted to the tenth box, Zheng Zhimin stood up, twisted her neck and stretched her body. She said, "It's not easy to make money, and it's not easy to count money either."
Li Ziyan also said: "After counting too much, I always suspect that I have counted wrong, and I have to go back and count again."
Zhong Ruiyu: "I stared at the silver and felt like there were flowers in front of my eyes."
He Qianqian said: "No wonder Sister Sisi said that counting money made her hands cramp. I feel that way now."
Zheng Zhimin looked at the box on the ground and wanted to cry. He felt sad!
Zheng Zhiyuan said, "There are still six boxes left. Hurry up and count them. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold out for a day, or your cousin will laugh at you."
Zhong Ruiyu said, "Okay, I'll count today and I won't count anymore in the future."
Several people nodded and agreed that in the future, it would be better to let professionals do such work as it was too difficult.
After they counted the silver, they compared the numbers, paid the bill, and went back to sleep without saying anything. Why? Because they felt that the silver was moving in front of them, and they hoped that there would be no silver in their dreams.
In such a busy life, the days passed quickly and more than half a month had passed before we knew it. A few more dishes were added to the table, especially chili peppers, which were sought after by all diners as soon as they were introduced.
Adding some chili peppers when cooking makes the dish feel more soulful. Because currently there are only green peppers, all dishes are mainly stir-fried. Once red peppers and dried peppers are on the market, there will be more cooking methods.
Because several farms were planting peppers, and several shops could not sell all of them at once, Zheng Sisi asked someone to set up a stall in the market to sell peppers, and the sales were very good. She originally thought that if no one bought them, she would make them into red peppers and white peppers, but now that there were sales, she could only postpone the plan.
After the peppers were sold for a few days, Yingbin Building and Food Street introduced corn. Yingbin Building mainly sells corn for steaming and stewing, while Food Street has more varieties, including steamed corn with leaves, roasted corn, fried corn, and corn fried rice. Zheng Sisi said that when the corn is old, it can also be made into popcorn.
The launch of corn made the emperor in the palace happy, and he took his ministers to visit the cornfield he planted.
The ministers were speechless when they saw the emperor's boasting, but they had to say that this was new food, food that could fill the stomach and save lives. Everyone was speechless but also happy and relieved. Solving the problem of food for the people of the world was a big problem, and everyone was very grateful for Zheng Sisi's contribution.
Finally, the emperor gave each minister two ears of corn as a reward, to be taken home and shared with the whole family.
A minister was concerned about the country and said, "Your Majesty, we should save all the corn and use it as seeds for next year so that more people can plant it. This way, we can solve the problem of food and clothing for the people as soon as possible."
Emperor Yongshun said, "I have asked this question before. The Princess of Anping said that we should save seeds at a later stage. If we save all the seeds, corn will not grow. It's just like watermelon. We should pinch off the side branches that grow, otherwise the main vine will not have nutrients and will not bear fruit. Look, there are no side branches on each vine, and now the watermelons are growing well."
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing what the emperor said. What the emperor said made sense.
In fact, as soon as everyone arrived, they noticed the watermelons planted in the field. The field was full of green round balls with patterns. They were quite beautiful and big. One weighed at least seven or eight kilograms, and looked like a big fat boy wearing green clothes.
Another minister pointed at the watermelon and said, "Your Majesty, the watermelon has grown so big, can we eat it now?"
Emperor Yongshun glanced at him and said, "The Princess of Anping said it's not time yet. She will tell me when it's ripe. My dear ministers, you have taken the corn. Please leave the palace."
Emperor Yongshun was afraid that if they stayed any longer, someone might actually go to pick watermelons, so he had to drive them all away.
The Princess of Anping County said that the watermelons could grow to more than ten kilograms, so they should wait until they grow to more than ten kilograms. The Princess of Anping County didn't say to pick them, so they couldn't be picked. The Princess of Anping County said that the watermelons would be sold to rich people, at ten taels of silver each, and she couldn't let these people eat them for free.
Because both farms grew corn and peppers, these two things began to be sold in towns near the capital, and there were also reception buildings, food streets and food stalls selling dishes. More people learned about peppers, fell in love with them after trying them, and knew how to cook delicious dishes, which led other restaurants to also serve dishes fried with peppers.
