"Huh?"
"Think about it carefully. Who needs iron the most now?"”
"The imperial court?"
Fang Yang: " That's right. The imperial court needs it the most. What can we get from it? Moreover, the production of iron ore is limited. It's not just good iron-making technology that can produce a lot of iron.”
Of course, good iron-making techniques could stimulate the increase in iron ore production, but this process was relatively slow.
"This…"
That was indeed the case. Just because the iron-making technique was good and the method was good did not mean that the iron could be produced in large quantities.
Not to mention that refined steel could only be forged with a large amount of iron ore (Li Shimin himself thought so, but it was not).
Cheng Wu said," But if this refined steel is used to make weapons, it'll be very profitable. It can also support the imperial court.”
"Huh?" Did the imperial court also give out the titles of the Ten Outstanding Youths?”
"Ten Outstanding Youths?"
Fang Yang: " Let's not talk about this. If you want to make money, there are ways to do it. If you really want to do the steel-making business, I'll give you the method. You can buy it with money. How about that?"”
Previously, when he opened the winery, Li Ercheng had spent a total of 6,000 strings.
Three thousand strings of coins to open the winery, and three thousand strings of coins to Fang Yang as a fee for the use of the technique.
Three thousand strings of coins was not a big deal. There was no such expensive house in Chang 'an.
There wasn't even one in the villa area at the foot of Huaqing Mountain.
In other words, this was a huge sum of money.
If Cheng Wu and Li Er wanted to do this business, Fang Yang wouldn't mind selling them the method to make steel.
One had to know that Fang Yang had spent a lot of effort to find alloy materials to refine that piece of stainless steel.
"That's right. You're businessmen. You're more reliable than me in finding raw materials. You can shorten the time and cost, and you'll make a profit.”
"If I were to make steel, it would be too time-consuming and there wouldn't be much profit."”
"Time cost? This word is interesting."
"Little Fang, what is the more profitable industry you mentioned?”
Fang Yang chuckled." Of course it's the restaurant business. It's similar to Happy Red Court, but we don't do courtesans."”
"With good wine and delicious food, there will naturally be a lot of people coming. It's a restaurant chain, and I'm not afraid of others imitating it.”
Li Er and Cheng Wu looked at each other.
Originally, they had come for the steel-making method.
Since Fang Yang was willing to sell the steel-making method to them, there would not be much of a problem.
This method of making money was a private way of making money.
How could he miss it?
Li Er: ”
"Stir-fried vegetables, hotpot!"
"They all use iron pots, and now, iron pots are not popular at all.”
"Iron pot?" Li Er was suspicious. A pot made of iron? The pot I'm using now is also an iron pot!”
Fang Yang shook his head." An iron pot is a type of pot. A pot that is not made of iron is called an iron pot."”
The popular pot in the Great Tang was called the Cauldron Pot, which evolved from the cauldron used to cook food during the Zhou Dynasty.
Even in the countryside of the 21st century, cauldrons were often used to cook food or pig feed.
Fang Yang: " Stir-frying. Stir-frying is a cooking technique that only I know."”
Stir-frying was invented at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and had not yet become popular.
"Oh?"
A gentleman stayed away from the kitchen. The more capable a person was, the more they didn't like to be near the kitchen.
Although it was not as strict as the Spring and Autumn Period, most people were unwilling to enter the kitchen.
Only a few gluttonous people were willing to enter the kitchen.
This type of glutton had one characteristic, and that was that they were true foodies.
Fang Yang: " How about this? I'll cook some vegetables for you to see first, and then you'll understand."”
"Let's go and take a look."
The three of them walked towards the kitchen in the backyard.
Passing by the backyard, Congming rested his hands on his knees and panted heavily.
Fang Yang: " How many times have I told you? After you finish exercising, stand up straight and walk slowly in the yard. Regulate your breathing. Breathing is the foundation of exercise. Breathing is not good for your heart and lungs."”
Congming immediately stood up straight and started walking around the courtyard.
"Remember, drink water in small mouthfuls. You're not allowed to drink large mouthfuls of water after exercising.”
"Yes, teacher. Disciple will remember.”
Fang Yang went to the kitchen." Cheng Wu, chop the firewood. Li Er, light the fire."”
Cheng Wu and Li Er looked at each other.
What the f * ck, we are an emperor and a general, when have we ever done such a thing?
"How much?"
Li Er: " Hurry up. How can we start a fire without firewood?"”
"I'll wash the pot."”
Li Er looked at the simple but strange pot."Is this the so-called iron pot?"
Fang Yang nodded." After the Zhou Dynasty, people no longer use copper cauldrons to make food. Instead, they still use the shape of cauldrons to make pots.”
"The characteristics of metals are different. Iron can conduct heat so quickly. If you use the shape of a cauldron to make a pot, the food will easily burn.”
"Therefore, we can only use two cooking methods, frying and boiling.”
Other cooking methods, such as roasting, did not require a cauldron.
"The iron pot has improved this, so it's very convenient to cook food.”
Cheng Wu continued to swing his axe, and more firewood was added.
Although Li Er was the emperor, he knew how to start a fire in times of war. Moreover, a ready-made fire was just firewood.
Soon, the fire was successfully started.
Fang Yang cut the ginger and garlic.
He scooped out a little pork fat with a spoon and put it into the pot. Then, he added the ginger and garlic into the pot.
A strong fragrance was released crazily under the stimulation of the oil.
Li Er's eyes lit up.”
"There's something to do! Not to mention whether it was delicious or not, as long as the restaurant emitted such a fragrant stir-fried dish smell, customers would come knocking on their doors!”
