Chapter 146 Climate Anomaly
Hearing Fu Nian's words, Six Fingers Heixia's gaze was visibly dull.
Then he looked at Mr. Mo, opened his mouth slightly, and said in surprise, "Mr. Shengping is also proficient in cooking?"
Mo Jun said modestly: "I understand a little, I understand a little."
Fu Nian on the side shook his head when he heard Mo Jun's words.
Understand a little?
What he said sounds very ordinary, you know, since he took the post of teacher in Mofu, in just one month, Fu Nian found that his waistline has been fully rounded.
Now when the belt is knotted with a knot, that section of the belt is obviously much shorter than before.
Confucianism pays attention to "never tire of eating fine meat and never tire of fine meat".
So in the past, although Fu Nian's requirements for food were not harsh, they could still be called exquisite.
But at that time, Fu Nian was barely full every day, but since he came to Hanzhong and joined Mofu, now Fu Nian starts cooking at least three bowls every day.
Anyway, eating too much does not violate Confucian etiquette, so why not eat more?
The Black Man with Six Fingers obviously doesn't know Fu Nian's inner thoughts at this moment, he only knows one thing, and that is whether the young Sheng Ping Jun in front of him has too many skills that are too outrageous.
Just what he knows now, the other party has already mastered the art of mechanism, merchant management, farming and mulberry, and medicine.
Moreover, none of these skills are at the top level.
But now that Mo Jun has even mastered this kind of cooking skills to such a degree, could it be said that the gap between people can really be so large?
"Speaking of which, Fu Nian has always heard that the Qin State is located in a barbaric area, so most of the Qin people are poor, but now it seems that the words in the book are still not true."
At this moment, Fu Nian looked out the window and suddenly said something.
"Oh? Where did Mr. Fu Nian say that?" Mo Jun asked in surprise.
"Sheng Pingjun's [Baichuan Restaurant] is a gold coin for entering the third and fourth floors, and five gold coins for the fifth and sixth floors. Such prices are completely astronomical for ordinary people, but the business of the restaurant is now It’s so hot, it’s conceivable that there is no shortage of rich and noble people in Qin.”
Hearing Fu Nian mentioning this matter, Mo Jun also showed a bit of contemplation on his face.
It sounds a little strange.
Originally, Mr. Mo built this [Baichuan Restaurant·Headquarters], mainly because there were a lot of materials left over from the construction of [Mo House] and [Xiongchumo Chamber of Commerce] headquarters.
When building Mofu, green bricks were mainly used.
But when the construction of [Breed Farm] and [Xiongide Mo Chamber of Commerce] started, the red bricks sent by Mo Jun came out.
So a lot of materials were saved at once.
Therefore, in combination with the later planning of Hanzhong County, he built such a restaurant nearby, and by the way, built a concrete road leading directly to the county.
Thinking of this, it would be convenient for him to travel, and he would also be able to make a small fortune from those foreign merchants.
Originally, those foreign merchants came to Hanzhong to do business, even for Mo Jun's face, they would eat and live in [Baichuan Restaurant·Headquarters], but each of them basically stayed for three or four days at most.
Logically speaking.
Even if this restaurant can make money for Mo Jun, it usually won't make much money.
It's like two or three thousand gold coins a month at most.
But what Mo Jun never expected was that in the past few days, Baichuan Restaurant suddenly had a lot of long-term guests in private rooms, and even among these people, several of them were not on the third or fourth floors, but The room was booked directly on the fifth or sixth floor.
To know.
Even when Mo Jun himself set the prices for the fifth and sixth floors, it was just for a gimmick.
Anyway, the real estate is not worth much now, not to mention that he built this restaurant by himself, even if three or four floors are vacated to advertise, there is no cost for Mo Jun to lose money.
Originally, Mr. Mo didn't expect anyone to actually go up to the fifth or sixth floor.
The result was unexpected.
Now there are not only people, but many people.
And these people didn't live for a day or two, but paid a monthly subscription directly.
On the fifth and sixth floors of [Baichuan Restaurant·Headquarters], the daily consumption starts with at least five gold coins, and these people spend at least one pack for a month, and even three to five months.
The people in these private rooms alone brought Mo Jun an income of thousands of gold coins.
"Mr. Fu Nian's confusion, I am also a little puzzled."
Mo Jun pondered and said: "Although the [Baichuan Restaurant] branch in Xianyang is doing pretty well during this period of time, but if it is said that it can attract customers from there, they will come to Hanzhong not far away, just to taste the food In terms of delicacies, the possibility is really unlikely.”
There are indeed gourmets in this world who can travel thousands of miles for delicious food, but such people are only a minority after all.
What's more, if it's just for eating, there's no need to pay a monthly subscription directly at [Baichuan Restaurant·Headquarters]!
But at this moment, Heixia Six Fingers suddenly reminded: "It may not be for the food, Mr. Shengping, don't forget, what is the biggest difference between the restaurant we are in and other inns and restaurants?"
The reminder from the Black Man with Six Fingers instantly caused a flash of inspiration in Mo Jun's mind.
"Could it be...the heater?"
Mo Jun naturally knows where the biggest advantage of his [Baichuan Restaurant] is.
One is food that never appeared in the Warring States Period.
The second is the environment inside the restaurant which is warm in winter and cool in summer.
【Heating】.
This can be regarded as one of the experimental products of Mo Jun's iron smelting.
During the overhaul of civil engineering some time ago, some buildings in [Mo Mansion] and [Xiongchu Mo Chamber of Commerce] needed hard enough materials, so Mo Jun thought of reinforced concrete.
But 'iron making' is different from the previous 'salt making'.
In the process of ironmaking, the requirements for carbon content are very high. Even if Mo Jun knows the theory, in the actual operation process, without the assistance of modern machines, various accidents are still prone to occur.
Until now.
In the iron-making workshop that Mo Jun secretly built in Hanzhong, two out of every three furnaces of steel may be scrapped.
And those inferior steel products that were finally baked were later made by Mo Jun into various farm tools and iron pots, which were sold to Hanzhong civilians and foreign businessmen who came to Hanzhong.
Including steel pipes for making heating is also part of it.
The weight of these ironware is not much.
So it didn't attract anyone's attention.
It is precisely because the current 'method of making iron' is immature that Mo Jun has not informed Ying Zheng.
But even if the 'method of making iron' is perfected, Mo Jun may not hand it in now.
First of all, Mr. Mo's status is too high now, and it is really not suitable for him to continue to make contributions.
Secondly, it is because the state of Qin does not actually lack this "method of making iron".
Although Qin State is still in the Bronze Age, Qin State's bronze craftsmanship has reached a peak. In terms of quality, it may not be inferior to some inferior steel quality.
Moreover, Qin's army's equipment is currently second to none among the Seven Kingdoms. In terms of equipment, Qin will not lose to any country at all.
So now even if they change to a new set of equipment, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake.
"Speaking of which, this year's climate does seem to be slightly colder than previous years."
At this moment, Fu Nian added another sentence.
And this sentence also made Mo Jun realize that it is already mid-November, and except for the extremely southern areas, the Central Plains has basically entered the cold winter.
This year's winter came relatively early, and the temperature has begun to drop since October.
Not even that long ago.
Mo Jun also asked Chen Jinghui to issue a special notice, so that the people of Hanzhong County could go to the mountains and forests to collect more firewood for emergencies.
But so far, although the temperature in Hanzhong has dropped a lot, it is still within the tolerance range, so Mo Jun didn't care.
But he forgot.
Because Hanzhong County is blocked by the Qinling Mountains, the cold wave from the north cannot blow through every winter, so this place is actually regarded as the southern region.
And this year even the temperature in the south has dropped so much, so how much should the temperature drop in the north north of the Qinling Mountains?
"Could it be that over there in Xianyang..."
Mo Jun looked towards the north through the window, and an ominous premonition vaguely rose in his heart.
But soon, Mo Jun shook his head again, feeling a little unfounded.
After all, if something really went wrong in the north, it is estimated that Ying Zheng has sent someone to invite him by now.It's not my turn to make wild guesses here...
"dong dong dong~~"
Just as Mo Jun was thinking of this, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Enter!"
Mo Jun spoke in a deep voice.
next second.
Accompanied by the sound of the wooden door being pushed, a slim and dignified figure quickly walked in from the door.
"My lord, urgent letter from Xianyang."
"Ok?"
Mo Jun raised his eyebrows, and then quickly took the letter from Yue Nu.
After just one glance, Mo Jun's expression suddenly changed.
"Kuroba, prepare the car!"
"Yes!"
Hei Yu emerged from the dark corner without a sound, and then disappeared from the room in a flash.
Six Fingers Heixia and Fu Nian turned their heads to look at the place where Hei Yu disappeared at the same time. Although it was not the first time they had seen Hei Yu, no matter how many times they had seen Hei Yu, they still couldn't help but marvel at Hei Yu's lightness.
down today.
People who can cultivate lightness kung fu to this level can be counted on one hand.
And such a person is now working under Mo Jun, which makes them even more amazed.
Mo Jun didn't know what was going on in the minds of Six Fingers Heixia and Fu Nian. After giving orders to Hei Yu, he said directly to them, "Both of you, I have something important to do, so go ahead."
Say it!
Mo Jun didn't even have time to accept the gift from the two of them, so he hurriedly left the room.
Seeing Mo Jun's expression, Fu Nian and Six Fingers Heixia also focused their eyes, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
On the carriage.
The coachman drove without stopping.
And when the carriage finally crossed the Qinling Mountains, Mo Jun opened the curtain and saw a snow-white world directly in front of him.
