Holding thirty steamed buns in his arms, Wang Buxu and Zhang Buyi found a corner and squatted down.

To be precise, the steamed bun in his hand made Wang Buxu both happy and disappointed.

I'm happy that I finally saw the use of wheat noodles, but I'm unhappy because that's not really how they make steamed buns.

The steamed buns in my memory, especially those fresh out of the pan, should be soft and sweet in the mouth.

However, the current steamed buns are not too soft even when they are freshly baked. After being left for a while, the steamed buns begin to harden.

You can even see a transparent outer layer on the surface that is almost not steamed. After breaking it open, you can still see some hard lumps inside.

But one thing is for sure, this steamed bun is really steamed.

It is just a direct phenomenon that the steamed buns are dead because they have not been fermented.

Not to mention now, even in future generations, the chef will be powerless to face this situation.

Dead face, no one can save it...

Although there are some problems with the taste, it is not quite what I imagined, but it still feels good to eat it once in a while.

After eating one, Wang Bu was hungry and had no desire to continue eating.

It's really made of dead noodles, so you can't eat too much of it.

Faintly, he felt that something was not quite right. When he turned around, Wang Buxuan's eyes widened for a moment and he asked in surprise: "Don't you feel choked?"

"It's not bad, but it's quite delicious. I feel full after just eating four..." Zhang Buyi smiled and looked at Wang Buyi with an innocent face.

"Okay, it's almost done. It's like a starving man who has never seen anything." Wang Buxian rolled his eyes and unceremoniously opened his hand, which was reaching for a new full head.

"Eat one more, just one..." Zhang Buyi chuckled and continued: "Don't mention it, although this thing looks inconspicuous, you can't stop eating it."

After speaking, he licked his lips.

Wang Buxu was speechless again, but he could understand.

With the level of cooking these days, it’s not that it’s impossible, but there are only so many methods and ingredients.

People like them are better off, as long as they have something, they can eat it. The common people are miserable. They basically only have so much to eat all year round, and the types are extremely single.

If he hadn't known that he couldn't digest this stuff after eating too much, he would have wanted to eat two more to satisfy his hunger.

The best thing to eat the dead noodles steamed buns is when they are first steamed. After they cool down, they no longer feel that way.

"Don't eat too much of this!" Wang Buxu said lightly.

Just because you can’t eat more doesn’t mean you can’t eat.

As a northerner, Wang Buxin knows a lot about the uses of pasta.

Although there are still too many imperfections in current pasta.

But there is no doubt that as field military rations, pasta is more reliable than other foods.

Of course, this does not mean whether you can resist hunger or not.

But the variety of pasta makes it easier to carry over long distances.

For example, the famous bag is dry and hard, and it has to be wet when eating, but no one can deny that it is indeed the best choice for military rations.

Once this thing is ready, it won’t be a problem to store it for a month.

This thing was invented by that place in the Western Region for its own actual situation, so if we send troops to the Western Region in the future, Nang will definitely be the first choice.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s dead noodles or not. Wang Buxian doesn’t plan to use noodle soup as his main food. In fact, until the problem of fermentation is solved, Wang Buxian doesn’t even plan to let pasta replace the current staple food. He hasn’t evolved to that stage yet.

After a while, Wang Buxian discovered another strange phenomenon.

"What are they doing buying so many buns at once?" Wang Buxuan said, pointing to a few people buying steamed buns.

"I don't know..." Zhang Buyi glanced and shook his head, I'm not a god, how could I possibly know?

"That's weird, go and ask!" Wang Buxian couldn't help but feel curious.

After observing for such a long time, he found that some people came to exchange grains, and these people usually left after exchanging a few grains.

There are also people who buy it directly with money.

And the prices these days...

How should I put it, anyway, Wang Buxu felt quite embarrassed.

The smallest unit of currency is one copper coin, and just this one copper coin can buy thirty steamed buns.

For ordinary people, a prime man can only earn four or five dollars a month. Who would be willing to spend one dollar to buy thirty steamed buns in one go?

Besides, what are you eating these days?

If you have food to eat, why do you have to spend money to buy other things?

Working hard to earn three melons and two dates every month is not enough.

"Excuse me, why did you buy so many noodles?" Wang Buxu stopped several people in their path and asked, pointing to the steamed buns in the basket.

"Eat..."

"..." Wang is not hungry, speaking of this old man, can you be more upright?

When Zhang Buyi saw Wang Buyi's hungry appearance, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.

An older man behind him saw that the two people opposite him were dressed unusually, so they must not be ordinary people.

It’s better to avoid provoking this kind of people as little as possible. Although the answer you just answered is fine and true, it does make people’s faces look dull. Didn’t you see that the person behind you is snickering?

So he said: "It's like this, we are transporting bricks. In the first ten days of the year, our team transported the most bricks and had the least loss, so we were rated as the best in the first ten days and were awarded five coins. No, we have a hundred people in one team."

, the five dollars wasn’t enough to share, so I decided to buy some noodles and share them with everyone.”

Wang Buxu suddenly realized that this was his employee.

But what Wang Buxian didn't expect the most was that the managers of the brick factory were pretty good.

He actually knows how to use this method to motivate his employees. Although the money is not much, it is still a lot for them.

Many people will be reluctant to spend their own money to buy steamed buns, but the reward money is no problem.

You can't break one piece of money into twenty parts, and each person should get one piece, right?

Moreover, transportation is a purely manual job. If you want to reduce losses, you must be more attentive during the journey.

After chatting briefly with these people for a few more times, Wang Buxian had to sigh, there are still many responsible people in the world.

Because I was worried that the livestock would be tired, only one person in the leading car was leading the way with the livestock during the entire journey.

Those at the back tied the reins to the cart in front, letting the animals follow the cart in front, while the whole team pushed them on both sides of the cart.

In this way, the speed of travel is naturally faster, and it can also reduce the burden on livestock.

The two then walked around Dongcheng again and discovered more problems.

"The popularity of Luoyang City is still not enough..." Wang Buxian was a little depressed.

"This is already quite a lot. In total, there are almost more than 200,000 people in Luoyang now, right? How could you have imagined this in the past?" Zhang Buyi felt that Wang Buxu was a little dissatisfied.

How many people were there before they entered Luoyang?

There were only about 20,000 to 30,000 people in the city, but now it had increased almost ten times, and Wang Bu was still not satisfied.

"The other urban districts cannot represent Luoyang. Only Dongcheng District can represent the real prosperity of Luoyang. And now here, I don't see the prosperity that I imagined." Wang Buxu shook his head. Outside, he didn't either.

Call yourself me to avoid causing riots.

Although there were many Imperial Guards protecting him secretly, and the number of Imperial Guards patrolling around them also moved with their movements, Wang Buxu still did not want to expose his identity.

"Isn't this prosperous enough? I heard that Dongcheng's tax revenue last month was close to 100,000 yuan, and the growth rate is getting faster and faster." Zhang Buyi objected with disapproval.

"Take a look at the people in Dongcheng now?" Wang Buxuan pointed to the small crowd on the street.

Dongcheng District is busiest at night, but is relatively deserted during the day.

"It was originally expected that some business people could take root and gather here. As a result, there are not many business people now. Most of the people living here are workers in the city. After the expansion of Luoyang is completed, this Dongcheng District will at least have to go

If two-thirds of the people are lost, will this place still be so prosperous then?" Wang Buxu said.

These days, it is very unusual for the city to be bustling at night and deserted during the day.

Dongcheng District is not a red light district, and most of the business done is done during the day.

But most people have to go to work during the day and are not here at all.

Therefore, if you want to see the black crowds of people in Dongcheng District, you can only see them in the morning and evening.

Moreover, the composition of the personnel is also very simple, with most of them being middle-aged men.

This phenomenon is actually easy to understand, it is the illusion of prosperity.

When the illusion recedes and the true face is revealed, they realize that reality is not as beautiful as they imagined.

Whether Chen Ping or Xiao He, there is still something lacking in this aspect.

Even Tian Dan, the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce, although he has made great achievements in other places, he still ignores Luoyang.

It seemed that the entire court was bewildered by the financial report produced by the Ministry of Revenue.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be blamed on others.

Everyone has no experience in this area, and it is certain that they will take the wrong path, because they have no successful experience to learn from.

Even if Wang Bu is hungry, there is no good solution now.

Even if we can rely on policies to make this place prosperous for a short period of time, what will happen after the policies end?

In the final analysis, the current needs are not enough to support this world and the Luoyang in my heart.

Thinking of this, Wang Buxian still felt the lack of talent.

Starting from scratch, there are many difficulties and you need to explore everywhere.

But there is also an advantage. Now it is a piece of white paper. There are no so-called rules to restrict them. Wang Buxian can make changes on this piece of white paper at will, and no one will think that this is against the rules.

Looking back, it seems that I haven't talked to Zhang Liang for a month, and I don't know what is going on with that guy now?
Chapter completed!
