"Selling newspapers. Every family in Liu Village in Wugong County is donating money for the military to support the soldiers at the border. According to the imperial court, a family can only donate 10 coins at most."
"Selling newspapers. The imperial court said that the things bought with this money will be written on the name of the village and told to the soldiers."
"Selling newspapers. The newspapers said that people who want to donate money can donate every cent with their hearts."
"Selling newspapers. A new ship of sesame seeds is for sale at the warehouse of No. 2 Bashui Wharf. Wholesale only, no retail. Buy at least 5 buckets."
The newspaper boys waved the newspapers and advertised early in the morning.
As soon as the people heard that a village had donated money to the soldiers and even published it in the newspapers, they started to talk.
At first, the people who lived in Chang 'an started to discuss and ask others if they wanted to donate some money.
It was written in the newspapers that every cent and dime was enough. It was the ticket money.
Manager Liang and the others gathered together and ate in a restaurant that served pig dishes in the big market of the Li Family Zhuangzi in the south of the city.
The restaurant was called Pig Dishes. The pigs here were supplied by their farm.
The pigs they raised themselves were sent here, so they ate without worry.
"Everyone, the people have started to donate money. The imperial court is collecting money. What should we do?" Manager Liang said before they touched the chopsticks.
"Donate 10 coins?" Manager Feng asked in a low voice.
"You can try to donate 10 coins. Li Dongzhu is afraid that the people will bear too much, so he set the upper limit for ordinary people." Manager Liang smiled.
"How about 1,000 coins? There are 12 people, so it's 12,000 coins in total. "Someone suggested.
"How about 1,000 coins? We are different from others. "
"We can donate slowly in the future. If we donate too much at one time, how can we donate in the future? If other rich people see us donate a few thousand coins, it will be even more difficult for them to donate. "
"We can donate canned pork. There are still some big pigs and medium-sized pigs that are collected in the spring. We have to raise the small pigs until the Chinese New Year."
"Ask Li Dongzhu. We can provide whatever he wants."
"Go now. Tell the kitchen to stop cooking. Let's go to the Li Family Zhuangzi to eat."
The group of people told the manager of the restaurant and ran away.
"Manager, the dishes are ready." The waiter found the manager and said helplessly.
"It's almost noon. Put in more pickled vegetables and we'll save money. Otherwise, we won't be able to earn a single cent." The shopkeeper was very happy.
Shopkeeper Liang and the others came to eat. Although the price was the same, the amount of meat they had was different. They had more meat than others, which was basically their capital.
If they don't want to eat, I'll continue cooking. When the customers arrive, someone will order more pickled vegetables.
In any case, this was how the pig slaughtered dishes were prepared. When the customers finished the leftovers, they would heat it up again for the waiter to eat.
Pig slaughtered vegetables were suitable for soaking rice, steamed buns, or pancakes.
A group of people rushed to the Li Family Zhuangzi. After a body search outside, they saw Li Yi. They did not need to shower and change their clothes.
"Everyone's here? The villagers said that they haven't had mutton soup for a long time. Let's drink it together today. The kitchen doesn't have to make too many dishes. "
Li Yi greeted them with a smile. He guessed why they were here. They wanted to donate money.
"The mutton soup is good. The weather is hot, and it will cool you down after sweating." Shopkeeper Liang immediately expressed his love for the mutton soup.
The others chimed in one after another. They would say the same thing no matter what they ate.
Princess Yongmu and Li Dan were at the same table. They were just next to them.
The little fellow sat in her seat and asked someone to help her put on a big napkin. She curiously looked at the new group of people.
The mutton soup was served and the white wine was boiled. Shopkeeper Feng stated his intention. "Li Dongzhu, we want to donate 12,000 yuan. We want to use pigs to make canned food."
"Canned food … I have a new thing. The canned food is all meat. They eat highland barley. It's difficult to make other things from Shu."
Li Yi didn't care about the amount of money. He thought of something.
Anyway, he didn't like to eat it. When he was young, he thought it was good. When he grew up, he was more willing to eat real meat.
"Li Dongzhu, please teach us." Another person asked for advice.
"Luncheon meat with seasoning. It's made of starch and pork. Put it in a bamboo tube. It can be eaten when the bamboo tube is cut open. There's no soup inside."
Li Yi said the most convenient thing to eat on the battlefield.
He felt that the soldiers loved to eat compressed biscuits, but they must love luncheon meat even more.
Shopkeeper Liang heard the name and thought for a moment. "Canned food for lunch? Luncheon meat? "
"You can say that. The key is that it can be eaten directly. It can also be fried, stir-fried, stewed, and any combination." Li Yi didn't want to change the term luncheon meat.
Could it be that it was impure canned meat?
"Is it delicious? We can make it? If the soldiers don't like it, they will have a bad impression of us. "Everyone was worried about the taste.
"I'll ask someone to make it now. You can eat luncheon meat at dinner in Zhuangzi in the afternoon.
If it wasn't for the fact that bread takes up a lot of space, I want to give them bread. It's more convenient to eat. Of course, it's not black bread. "
Li Yi stood up and walked out. He taught the chef in Zhuangzi how to make luncheon meat. This was simpler.
More meat could be added. Luncheon meat was not made to save money. The starch could provide other nutrients.
The soldiers couldn't just eat meat. They needed carbohydrates.
Before dinner, the canned luncheon meat was finished.
The cover of the bamboo tube was threaded. It was sealed with a piece of oiled paper. Since there was no soup, it was simple and convenient.
"When you eat, you can open it and force it out. You can also cut it in half. Everyone, try it. "
Li Yi smelled the luncheon meat. It smelled slightly different from the ones he had eaten before. It was still okay.
One person picked it up, opened it, and knocked it out. A cylindrical shape came out.
Everyone used chopsticks to scoop the meat from the top and threw it into their mouths.
"It's delicious. I like it."
"It's really fragrant. It tastes like meat and a lot of seasoning."
"That's great. The soldiers at the front will definitely like it."
"Li Dongzhu, tell us the recipe. Let's make it."
"How many can we make with 12,000 pieces?"
Everyone recognized this delicious thing. It was indeed convenient and could be eaten.
Li Yi wasn't sure about the cost. "It depends on how much meat and starch you put in. The cost of the canned bamboo tube is basically fixed.
The cost of the seasoning is also fixed. The rest is made with wheat starch or rice starch. It's more labor-intensive.
However, it's cheaper than directly making pork canned food. Half of the pork in the canned food can save two-fifths of the cost of pure meat canned food. "
Li Yi gave an inaccurate figure. It depended on how they dealt with it.
The cost of meat and starch had to be considered comprehensively.
"90% pork and 10% other things." Shopkeeper Liang expressed. He wanted to give the soldiers good meat. He was donating it, not selling it for money.
"Good. It's delicious with a lot of meat. It's best not to break it up too much. If it's broken up, it won't taste good. It's enough to make dumplings and buns."
Li Yi didn't care about it. After all, it was for the soldiers to eat.
Such a high proportion of meat was equivalent to canned ham. It tasted good, but he still didn't like it.
The group of people didn't stay for dinner after getting the recipe. They hurriedly left. They wanted to go back and try it out before mass producing it.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a lot of bamboo in the Qinling Mountains and that the bamboo grew quickly, it wouldn't be able to supply the current consumption of canned food.
