Chapter 377 New Year (1)
In the next two days, Huo Gang really didn't think about the development of the territory. The next day, Wang Shan and Wu Ping came again. It was not something else that they came, but came to see the storage status of the lard. When they saw that the milky white lard solidified together, they asked carefully and left.
Huo Gang admires their attitude very much, because it means promoting it to the people. They need to figure out the links. When the lard solidifies, even in summer, it will not deteriorate in a cool place. This is too important for the people.
There are no refrigerators in this era. For them, it would be a pity if these things are broken, wasteful and cannot be finished. All meat cannot be eaten in winter. According to Huo Gang's method, not only pork, but even mutton and other meats can be preserved in this way.
The big man has begun to popularize cellars. The main reason is that although there are not many cabbages grown this year, they have also preserved a considerable portion of them. With the preservation of these cellars, the cabbage has been preserved very well so far, which means they have another way to preserve them.
Moreover, the cellar not only preserves cabbage, but also potatoes.
After Wang Shan and the others left, Huo Gang taught Wang Shan and the others to make new food. This time, it was something that Huo Gang often made during the Chinese New Year when he was a child in his previous life, including food such as mozzarella and oil cakes.
There is no shortage of milk now, and Huo Gang also has no shortage of eggs. Mix the milk with eggs and put a little lard in the dough, and finally add a little sucrose. White sugar does not exist in this era, so it would be nice to have sucrose.
Make these mohuas and fry them in a pan. This thing can be kept for a long time and will not break easily. The most important thing is that in this era, the food is good, and this thing is considered a good snack.
Chef Ma and his friends have become more admiring to Huo Gang these days. In their opinion, the leader is a person who does big things, but they never expected that the leader had so much research on the things between the kitchen, and they had never thought about many ways of doing it.
In fact, some people have invented these things in this era, but due to the limitations of material conditions, these things have not spread. They are just circulated in some places, such as Chef Ma and the others, naturally don’t know about them.
For example, various ways to cook, Huo Gang has taught them a lot in the past few days, such as roasted pig heads and pig trotters, and they have also been handed over to them, but they have not started to make them yet, but Chef Ma has recorded all these methods.
The leader also gave him a task, that is, he wanted to spread these practices and spread them to the people.
"Is it delicious?" At this moment, Huo Gang was watching Xia Zhu eat. He was full. However, Xia Zhu, I wonder if it was because Huo Gang's snacks inspired her, which led to Xia Zhu's secretly starting to secretly talk recently.
"It's delicious." Xia Zhu's face turned slightly red, then nodded quickly and said, "Chief, you are so smart. How did you think of these foods? You should have come up with it earlier."
"It's useless to think about it early. We were too poor before. Even if we thought about it, we couldn't make it for you to eat." Huo Gang smiled, "and now it's much better. Our big men are gradually getting richer. People can eat enough and even have surplus. In this case, it's only meaningful for me to invent these things."
"And even if I don't invent these things, as long as we big men are rich enough, sooner or later, people from the people will invent them. Sooner or later, you can eat these delicious foods." Huo Gang said with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah, but these are all your credit for your leader, and this cabbage. If it weren't for you, how could we eat such fresh vegetables in winter?" Xia Zhu nodded quickly.
"This is nothing. It's too late this year. When winter is waiting next year, I can let you eat other fresh vegetables in winter." Huo Gang laughed twice.
"Really?! You can also eat fresh vegetables in winter?!" Although people of this era do not expect much fresh vegetables because they are more looking forward to meat, it is still a very shocking thing to be able to eat vegetables in winter! Xia Zhu's eyes are now filled with little stars.
If people outside saw that the famous Minister of Commerce Xia Zhu was like a little girl at this time, they would probably be shattering their glasses. Although Xia Zhu didn't appear outside many times, among these people, Xia Zhu almost always looked serious when she was outside. And because of the knowledge learned from Huo Gang, Xia Zhu almost knew everything in the eyes of these business people.
You should know that Xia Zhu not only finished math, but also had already finished learning a considerable part of the accounting that Huo Gang gave her, etc., such as the double accounting method. Although Huo Gang only knows a little bit, it is still very messy. The subsequent double accounting method was sorted out by Xia Zhu.
There are no textbooks rewarded by the Spirit of the Jade Gate in this regard.
"Of course it's true. Remember one thing. There is no place in this world that humans cannot reach. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can invent tools. When we cannot complete certain things, it is not that we cannot complete them, but that we have not discovered its secrets. All things in this world naturally have their own reasons." Huo Gang said with a smile.
"Well, I remember the leader." Xia Zhu nodded seriously and said.
"Okay, your Ministry of Commerce will probably be much busy next year. You will be free in the past few days of the Chinese New Year." Huo Gang said with a smile.
"Yes." Xia Zhu nodded seriously, "Chief, please rest assured. I will try my best to manage it as well as possible in the Ministry of Commerce."
"Well, just try your best. Don't be afraid of you making mistakes, just be afraid of you not making mistakes. It is impossible not to make mistakes in the early stage, but if you make a mistake, you must find the error as soon as possible and then correct him. "Huo Gang said with a smile.
"yes."
"How is your trading hall?" Huo Gang asked. The trading hall he asked was the bulk goods trading center of the Ministry of Commerce. To put it bluntly, it is the place where various commodities of the Han Dynasty trade.
Before, Dahan made pricing, but now something similar to an auction has occurred here. It has to be said that with the emergence of various cloths, Dahan’s gold reserves are constantly increasing.
If you want to make money, you need to exchange it for the Han Yuan who became a great Han Dynasty to trade. In addition, the Han Dynasty did not accept other currencies and only accepted gold and silver. The exchange rate of silver is too low for other countries, and is far less cost-effective than gold.
Because gold is a fixed proportion according to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, but silver is not.
"At present, we have made certain improvements, and we have made certain price announcements for all goods in the entire Dahan territory. For example, what is the price to pick up goods at Yumen Pass and what is the price to pick up goods at Yiwu City, all are marked."
"Then we auctioned the goods that were in short supply in the form of a hidden bid. Of course, for the goods sold in the Han Dynasty, we had a state-owned commercial bank to protect the price. At present, our domestic prices are very stable." Xia Zhu immediately spoke.
"Well, have you told me about the restructuring plan of Industrial City?" Huo Gang asked again.
The restructuring plan of Industrial City, the Ministry of Industry, had nothing to do with the Ministry of Commerce at the beginning, but after the restructuring, it had something to do with the Ministry of Commerce, so the two departments must handle it together.
"It has been said that they are divided into several companies as a whole. At present, the cement plant has become a state-owned cement business. The steelmaking plant will be transformed into the Dahan No. 1 Steel Plant."
"There is also the first machine manufacturer company that manufactures machine tools, manufactures large forgings, die forging presses and free forging presses."
"Then the production of small and commonly used machinery such as carriages, bearings, textile machines, seeders and other small and commonly used machinery forms the Dahan Second Machinery Manufacturer Company."
"The production and development of steam engines form the Dahan Third Machinery Manufacturer Company."
"In addition, for Sun Er, we temporarily consider setting up a Materials Research Institute directly and establishing a Dahan Ceramics Business in Ceramics."
"As for the leader of the brick factory, your idea is to open it to the public. Of course, because of Sun Erjia's technology, especially the technology of firing red bricks, we must occupy a certain technical share."
"Well. If the Ministry of Medical and Health is set up, you will definitely produce some medical devices by then. If this part is set up, a separate business will be established." Huo Gang said after thinking about it.
"yes."
After asking about these things, Huo Gang did not continue to ask. From the things reported by Xia Zhu, they handled these things very well, so Huo Gang naturally felt relieved about the next thing.
"By the way, let's post these news first. It is estimated that the first batch of newspapers will be printed soon after the New Year. These news are all considered the contents of the first batch of newspapers." Huo Gang explained again.
"yes!"
Huo Gang's leader's mansion is not bad for the time being, but people living in Yumen Pass have less and less felt the festive atmosphere. With the arrival of the Spring Festival, all the people in Yumen Pass seem to have become rich.
There are more and more small vendors on the street, but all small vendors have designated locations, and there are also established police stations to patrol continuously. In addition, the people in Yumen Pass are currently well-known and there are no gangsters, so the entire Yumen Pass environment is the best that all merchants have ever experienced.
Similarly, all the business banks in Yumenguan have also ushered in a prosperous abortion. At this time, these businessmen discovered that the ordinary people living in Yumenguan are actually quite rich.
